It is possible that the decision of the supreme court in the Standard oil o:,se was "hum law" but good sense. I. certainly would be unfortunnte for the country to have had the Sher man law constructed so as to prevent combinations in business that seek to eliminate competition. Competition In the United States U doomed. It Is as hopeless to seek Its restoration as It was for Ponce de Leon to hunt for the fountain of perpetual youth. The formation of great corporations has been a natural step In our economic evolution. Such combinations eliminate waste and look to efficiency. They should give the people better service at cheaper rates. It is true that in many Instances these results have not yet been at tained. This is because the govern ments, national,, state and municipal, have not yet fully developed their i regulative powers. But the move for regulation is underway and it is 1905 More than 100 preachers marched to mayor's office in Philadel phia and prayed for him to prevent gas lease. 1909 The president opened to set tlement 700.000 acres of government land In Washington, Montana and Idaho. imscviskd H.wnwKrriXG. The installment of "Great Cases ot Detective Burns" In the April Mo C!ures' Is devoted to "Tracking An onymous Letter Writers." The fol- j lowing extract shows how the writer of nn anonymous letter, that was sent to Lord Pauncefote, first gave him self away by a characteristic trick In writing peculiar to telegraph . opera tors: "To one who is accustomed to trac ing the authorship of anonymous let ters, it is a familiar fact that when a person undertakes to write an anonymous letter he starts out with the intention of disguising his hand writing but that as he proceeds re turns to his normal manner of writ ing. He may catch himself at this, and resume his disguised hand; but ho is sure to Incorporate some of his peculiar characteristics in the letter, through which it Is possible to Identi fy him. It was so in this case. We were able to determine, from an oc casional Joining of the words, which is peculiar to telegraph operators, that the wr'ter was probably an op erator." After this first fact was determined upon. Burns goes on to show that tracking the man down was a com paratively easy task. sense of humor, and ns he began his fourteenth trip .across Executive ave nue to be conferred with for the 34th time some one told him of an ac quaintance who had sold his political birthright for "a mess of pottage."." "You don's say," cammented the secretary, with a smile playing about the corners of his mouth. "Well, I know a man who's just now watching the political caldron, busy with a pot ot message."

It Is now almost universally recognized, even by the trust magnates themselves, that their 'business Is not private business and I that they cannot conduct it as they ise fit. The nubile is reallv the ma- i !j(.rity stockholder and should have j control. The public has the right to force corporations to give good ser vice at reasonable rates and It is go ing to do so. It will do that or take the business over into Its own hands entirely. It is useless to fight against nature. Let the trusts exist but regulate them. After they have become thoroughly regulated fewer men will become ab normally rich on money the do not . proceeding A SOBER PROGRESSIVE. Last week the people of Oregon had the good fortune of hearing at first hand from one of the truly big men of the day and a man who is re garded by many is being directly inPnrn ad the public will be the gainer bv the change. But to try to abolish une tor me presidency. He is now touring the country not especially to advance his candidacy but in a dignified way to show the people what he is and what he stands for so they may Judge Intelligently of his fitness for the high office to which he as pires. Woodrow Wilson1 is a most admir able type. He is a scholar but one who combines the ideal with the ac tual. He is a master of political sci ence and of logic. But he knows that government in a republic such as ours la not an exact science and that sometimes good sense and logic may be at variance. This republic 's a throbbing organism that is swayed to and fro by conflicting Interests and ccnflicting ideas. The end desired is healthy, well balanced growth, and no one thing can produce this result nor can it come all at once. It mus come by evolution and to force the growth would be as unwise as to re tard It. The most conspicuous characteris tics of Woodrow Wilson are his clear sightedness, his simplicity and his courageous frankness. He is a man of courage but his courage is of a different order from that of Roose velt. Wilson is one who knows and knows that he knows. He feels he Is right and is willing to go forward fearlesHly. He is a fighter but he is one who fights because he thinks he Is right not merely because he wants to win. If he strove for anything but the truth and the country's welfare he would be a Samson shorn of h's power. Governor Wilson i.-i a democrat 'in the l-iif si-list of the w.rJ. He believes in the peuple and in the rule 'if the people. IK- lias faith in the public anj opposes the rule of the patricians. The :;;iuiiliy whieh he fears is the in;n i-.y of the rich and r.nl of the pour. In his Portland speeches he pointed out the reasons f'.r his vb ws and "he illl U so clenriy, f'U'db!; an. 3 uitii such tincerity that none who heard could fill to understand. Even the patrii ians understood and were forced to applaud though for selfish reasons they oppose him. Naturally the people of tills stuto wished to know what Wilson think of the Oregon system. He told them. He upholds the Oregon system for he knows that It looks to restoring the ovtrlgnty of the people Lhat some agency Is needed to revive pop ular govi rnmtnt in this republic. But while endorsing our reforma tive methods he also sees the faults or the system and he pointed them out. But he did so with a friendli ness and sincerity that took the sting of criticism away. To Governor Wilson it seems a mistake to apply the recall to the Judiciary. He ad mits the logic of applying the recall to Judges but he questions the good sense of such a course. He sees the need of brakes to stay the people in their impatience. It la his sober Judgment coupled with his progressive tendencies that makes Governor Wilson such a form idable candidate for president He the trusts would be like trying 'to stop time by turning back the hands of the clock. The revolution is at an end In Mexi co yet there seems to be about as much fighting as ever. The Caledonian reunion is now a thing of the past and the Pioneer's picnic at Weston will be the next numher on the program. WORD .UtiC.UXU 11Y KNOX. It was during the days when th president was wrestling with message. It seemed as if unexpected kinks would occur after parifgraph upon paragraph had been carefully "ironed out." and then something else would .appear to open the forms ngain more reports would be needed and more information from the dif ferent departments. The slogan seemed to be "Curtail! Curtail!" un til it seemed as If things would never "come right." But during all the trying period Secretary Knox could not lose his T1IK ANKLET. The anklet Is the latest In Chicago. Mrs. Harold F. McCormlck, daugh ter of John D. Jlockefeller, has set the newest fashion. She sometimes wears five strands of beaten gold, adorned w'th gold bangles, about one of her angles. The anklet Is of gold plain gold. There Is not a single Jewel In It. It Is a style of Mrs. McCormlck's own Invention. No locnl Jewelrs have had the ornament In stock as yet, so far as could be learned. "Ah. yes, Mrs. t'ormick has an anklet," exclaimed her secretary. "She has It, and she wears it." "Does she wear It all the time?" was asked. "Ah, no; only on special occasions," was the reply. i pon which ankle does she wear It?" "Mrs. McCormlck does not wish t$ discuss It." Mrs. McCormick would not say whether she bought the anklet In Suez or whether a report Is true that a friend sent it to her from Cairo last month. Also Mrs. McCormick de clined to admit that she had launched a new fashion In Chicago. She d:d not know how many persons vhad tne anklets and did not care. America.
