would have been several pieces of
paper instead of one. There would
have been many more units of iron
and steel production and transporta-
tion, and in the aggregate, there
would have been increased share
profit and increased expense for
which the public would have paid.
1t was to the interest of the public
that the 4O8o unit in the steel trade
should be maintained Common sense,
sound economics and the public in
terest prevailed.
Decisions That Made Profits.
There is something highly educa-
tional for all other courts, for con-
gress, the executive, the politicians
and the public not only. in this de-
cision but in the preceding Standard
Oil and Tobacco decisions.
Who has profited by the dissolution
of the so-called Tobacco Trust? Had
the odious tobacco trust remained
with it's contracts of monopoly it
would have destroyed itself.
The Standard Oil trust with one
hundred million capital sold at 400%
when dissolved. The supreme court
smashed the thing into 33 parts and
the stockholder now beholds the par
ent company worth twice it's former
price or eight hundred million and he
holds in his left hand the other parts
worth five times the original whole
or two billion dollars.
Meanwhile the public is paying
twice as much for gasoline and the
parent company minus 80 of its parts
is earning 5000 more than the entire
combination earned before dissolu-
tion.
Moreover the Standard Oil has no
responsibility concerning the price of
oil. 1t is forbidden by court to re-
duce the price. The Standard Oil
companies are restricted in their ter
ritory and outside of it they may not
go to compete with other oil compan-
les.
The Transformation.
Behold the transformation as the
result of education. The railroads
are combined more effectively and
more broadly than would have been
possible under a free rein for Mr..
Hartman. The government has thrown
them together and decreed that the
strong shall care for the weak--ex-
actly what Mr.. Hartman proposed in
the public interest
The destruction of the oil trust has
freed man to produce, transport and
refine in competition with the Stand
ard Oil, and this is the essential
thing. The increased price of oil is
not the human essential and it is an
incentive to larger oil production
now necessary in the mans national
progress.
A Judgment According to Holy Writ.
The Steel Corporation not haying
oppressed man, not having conspired
or combined, except socially in hui
man progress and brotherhood, not
having monopolistic profits or labor
oppression, is given clean bill of
health to pursue it's honest way.
Some in public office have attempt
ed to decree that 40@6 of trade is
monopoly but the supreme court now
by a narrow margin-says more
than 4O@o may be a public blessing
and the supreme court is right. Twen-
ty per cent of trade in bad hands
or moved by bad motives may be
public curse.
The supreme court decision in the
steel case is in line with human
human development and the
brotherhood of man. 1t fundamentally
promotes the principles of the Chris
tan religion which searches out the
human heart and finds therein the
guilt or innocence.

there is one, on basis of compromise,

needed organization, system and ad-
ministration.
These things were exactly the
young engineers specialties. He was
from the beginning resourceful, orig
lnal, capable of prompt decision, an
organizer and administrator. Very
soon his firms mines, which had so
far had little benefit of executive abil-
lty coupled with technical knowledge
and originality, began to pay, and
their stocks went up on the London
market.
Discovering Mine
Pretty soon he did the other sue
cessful thing that the big men in Lon
don hoped for. He uncovered a big
new mine. The "Sons of Gwalia' re-
allied his hopes from the beginning.
Hoover was now 25, and man of
large reputation in mining circles in
Australia and London. Just about
this time young Chinaman of royal
family in Peking had made a success
ful coup d'etat, and had formed a cab
met for the first time in the history
of China, and this cabinet decided to
effect co-ordinated contRol of all
mines of the empire.
There was established department
OF mines, with a willy old Chinaman,
Chang Yen Now, at it's head. He un-
derstood that Cinnamon knew little
about mining, and decided to find a
foreigner to help him manage the
mines of the empire He thought that
foreigner could be of particular help
in dealing with other foreigners in
clined to exploit Chinese mines more
for their own benefit than Chinag.
This official was to be given the title
of Director-General of Mines" He
was to have a salary appropriate to
such a large title. It only remained
to find the proper foreigner, who
should be, man who knew much
about mines and was honest There
was just such a man in West Aus
tralia.

 The report was brought to the nonli- nee by Myron T. Herrick, former am bassador to France. who has just re- turned from series of conferences with the public men of various nations of western Europe. In a public state ment. Mir. Herrick said the western European statesmen now were hoping for 9 return of the republican party to power and would welcome the peace settlement proposed by Senator Hard ing.
 The former ambassador also inti- mated that the world court plan now being formulated abroad by Elihu Root and the representatives of European na- tions would have a large place in the party's programme as finally placed before the country.

Grantwood, N.

 Later in the day the police announced that no suspicion was attached to Schulz, and tracers were sent out broadcast on the trail of the owner of the watch-the single bit of material evidence which promises hope, for iden- tifcation of the murderer. It is com plete, even to the small ring for a watch and the solid bar to hold it in a lapel button hole, the police an nounced
 Questioning of Schulz today brought out statements that he had given his wife nearly $500 last week-$200 from a postal savings bank and S400 other savings-and that she presumably had started Saturday morning for Eey- port, N J., where she and her husband intended going for visit to relatives

New York city, for example, is several times as wealthy as Chicago and might easily, if asked to contribute on the same scale, give $3,- COG, 900 to the alleged republican, fund In Ohio there are several big and wealthy cities besides Cleveland. including Cin- cinnati, Columbus, Toledo Dayton and Canton Money raised on the Cleveland scale all over Ohio might make the states contribution more than $1,0O0,OO0 Any one with the statistics of money raised during the war at hand can easily figure out from the s400,000 from Cleve- land and s750,000 from Chicago what the total for the country would be if collec- tions were made systematically, and the statements Of Mir Upham and MT. Blos- som that certain definite amounts were to be raised in Chicago and Cleveland suggests a system.
 MT. Upham, in giving the figures for Chicago, said that the s750,0oo was for all purposes, national, state and local

 ways have in the past, and tap their
 own special sources of supply. Even
 though this should not be true. it will
 be difficult to disprove.
 COST OF PAST CAMPAIGNS
 The actual total cost of national campaigns in the past for purposes of
 comparison with the $15,0oo,000 Gov
 ernor Cox alleges is being raised this
 year is impossible to obtain, for the
 reason that in addition to the funds
 raised and reported by the national committees there have been the funds
 separately raised and separately re-
 ported by the state and local commit
 tees.
 The Kenyon committee encountered
 this difficulty in Investigating the cost
 of the campaigns. Although much less is raised for primaries by state and local organizations than for elections, considerable money was raised for General Wood and for Senator John
 son in this way, so that the statements
 made by national organizations of the
 candidates by no means covered all of
 their expenditures.
 The highest previous expenditures for campaign purposes occurred in 1896. when Mckinley was running against Bryan and when business men generally Tn rear or free sllVer gave literally to the republican party to in-
 sure the preservation of the gold standard. Mark Hanna was chairman of the republican national committee
 in that and the next campaign and was highly efficient money raiser.

A republican well acquainted with the l history of his party gave the amount | a few days ago as one-half that. The truth will probably never be known, l but it probably lies somewhere be- tween eight and sixteen millions. The Wall Street Journals figures for the | Mckinley campaign in 1900 were | $9 100000 The large sums expended | in these two campaigns led to pub Iicity of contributions, and funds fell away off, to $1o00000 or s1,500, 000 Then they gradually rose till $3,000,0 ,00o | became the normal republican fund. l It has been said by republican lead l CTS denying Governor Cox's charges | that the republican fund this year would not exceed $3,000, 900 or $3,500," , 900.
