PUBLIC MAKES BUSINESS.

How great will corporations grow
Is there n limit to their size. and il
SO. what is that limit: Should they
be regulated to serve the public ia
tcrrs:? What are the dangers al
monopoly: Should monopoly be re-
strained?
These questions will more or less
answer themselves if we look at how

the service. The service does not fol

what counts.
Everything in this world. to be
made rightly, has to follow a design,
and time spent in getting a thing right
is never wasted. 1t is time saved il

But here someone may ask: What

You may take something which poo
pie already know about and try to
make 4 better design chan is being uf-
ferCd. That might be the course IL
follow in commodities. but probably q
better way is to judge the wants Oi
the people by your own wants.
Then start from where you stand
and let th' public make your business
for you. The public and only the pub
lie can make a business.

CAUSE OF HARD TINES.
Consider a few fundamental prinri-

prosperity at all: Prosperity bcla2
the easy and uninterrupted supply al

to supply these needs being annie,
with a surplus left over for these

II the Roman Empire is TO be revived
effectively there must be revival Of the
insignia and Offices of the ancient empire.
The Roman costume for the common peo-
pie and the slaughter of human beings
can scarcely be revived but the emperor
can wear the toga of purple and gold and
sit on a gilded throne and review the
armies of his allied nations of Europe and
Africa.
The Rome of Augustus had million
inhabitants. II had pillared temples.
baslicas and pOrticoes, with arches and
statues, all Of cleaning marble from every
quarter Of the world There was running
water on every hand, in the great orna-
mental fountains Of the aqueduct heads
and in the smaller fountains and basins
for popular use.
The district about the Capitoline Hill,
the Palatine and the Forum was the heart
Of the city. The Capitoline was majestic
with towering temples, the Palatine was
the site Of the new palace Of the Caesars,
a vast group, including the portico and
temple Of Apollo.
At the northern end of the city were
the gardens Of Lueullus and Sallust, later
TO become. like other private parks, the
property of crown and public. There were
the gardens Of Agrippa in the Campus
Martius. Across the Tiber, TO the north,
there were the gardens of Drusus, Cas-

sus, ClOdia and others. At the extreme
south, on the brow and slope of the
Janiculan Hill, lay the gardens bequeathed
to the people by Caesar. The best of all
these features Mussolin aims to restore.
The luxury inaugurated by Augustus
increased to mad heights of extravaganza
in NcrO's time. One Of the greatest word
painters of our time, Henry Sienckiewicz,
has given us a glimpse Of Rome in that
age. This is how preparations were made
for the public appearance Of the En-
perOr:
"The Roman populace were eager to
feast their eyes on the procession of
Caesar, on which they could never gaze
sufficiently. As the morning hours passed
the multitude increased more and more.
Some had brought their whole families
lest the time might be too tedious for
them, spread their provisions on stones
intended for new temple in honor of
Ceres, and ate their nOontide meal under
the open sky.
Meanwhile detachment Of Numidan
horse, who belonged to the Pretorian
Guard, showed themselves. They we're
attircd in yellow uniforms, red girdles and
great earrings, which threw golden
CLEAN on their black faces. The points of
their bamboo spears glittered like flames
IN the sun. After they had passed a pro-
ccssiOn-lke movement began. The crowd
pushed forward to look at it more nearly,
but divisions of pretorian foot came, and,
forming a line on both sibes of the gate,
prevented approach to the road. In adj
vance moved wagons loaded with purple,
red, and yiolet-cOlored tents, and tents of
byssus woven from snow-white threads;
and Oriental carpets, and tables Of citrus,
and pieces Of mosaic, and kitchen uten-
sis, and cages with birds brought from
the East, North and West, birds whose

brains and tongues were to go to Caesars
table, and vessels with wine, and baskets
with fruit.
"While looking at the sea of the musical
instruments of Caesar and the court, in
struments cleaning beneath the sun in
gold, bronze, precious stones, and pearls,
which were carried past, one might think
that Apollo and Bacchus had set out on
Journey. After the instruments came rich
chariots filled with acrobats, dancers of
both sexes, grouped artistically, with
wands in their hands .
"Then came company of soldiers,
under whose heavy tread the earth
seemed to bend. After them Nero's
chained lions and tigers were led by, so
that, should the wish come to him Of imi-
tating Dionysius, he would have them TO
attach to his chariots. They were led in
chains of steel by Arabs and Hindoos, but
the chains were so entwined with flowers
that they seemed to be made all OF
flowers.
"Then came the Emperor's vehicles and
Iitters, great and small, gold or purple,
inlaid with ivory or pearls, or glttering
with precious stones; after them came an
other small cohort of pretorians in Ro-
man armor, pretorians composed Of Italian
volunteers only, and again crowds of Sc
lect servants and boys, and at last came
Caesar himself, whose approach was her
aided from afar by shouts of thousands.
Caesar rode in a chariot drawn by six
white Idumean stations, shod with gold.
He was dressed in a white tunic, and in a
toga of amethyst color, which cast blush
tinge on his face. On his head was a
laurel wreath.
ale was met by a storm of applause
and shouts:
"Hail, divine Caesar! Imperator! Hail,
