Hi- thiiiiis tlio greatest obstacle to the
M-ttloment of tlu problem wlthiti a tJiort
time mid without business distress is
tho woid "monopoly "
There is nothing terrifying about "big
bufinecH" to Prof Clark. He thinks that
Oov WiNon'M 'fair Held mid honet com
petition" propositi i splendid, hut he goes
oven further than tho next President,
proposing (lovernnient ownership and
operation of intrnetublo "trusts" In the
event of the failure of less radical mcu-f-uren.
In his tntk la?t night he put tho Wilson
treatment in the tln-t to be tried, thn
Roosevelt remedy second and the Debs.
or socialistic, plan ns the final tesort,
though he did not mention nny of the
authors of these schemes bv name. He
considers the tariff but a minor incident
of the trust question and referred to It
only incidentally. He does, howover,
heartily approve of (iov Vilon's action
in falling a special sc-sion of Congress
ooon alter he i maui:urated, charactcriz
ins it as the course of a "(.eiisiblo und
intelligent man "
I'rof. Hark put forth the piopositlon
tlint tho trust development which o.ustu
to-day is but the spectacular climax to
the industrial concentration that ha.
been going on ever since tho birth of the
factory sy-tein. In the particular causes
that have led to this concentration hi
.places the de-ire r business, men t
escape the destructive cots of competi
tion, tho recognized advantage, in the
cost cheapening by means of wiving on
ores freight, selling open.os and ail
vertixing. the ndviuituge of accumulating
ini)ort..nt pat tits. Iir.inds and secret do-
vices, the fact that a combination of bus!
ticks can directly control supplies and re
late them to a real demand and the fact
that advantage i derived from the svstein
of checking oil one mill againf-t another
Tho very thing that should bo done in
rnguru to tiie triiits. rrol UarK says, is
to give the "fair lield" idea a thorough
trial This will come within the next
eight or ten years, he believe if that
fails he advocates trying the plan, a fea
ture of the Progressive doctrine, of regu
lated monopoly then if that doe-, not
solve the problem he advises government
ownerMiip anil regulation He thinks th
Miertiiaii anti-trust law is good in somo
. i articular imt mat it needs. imnrovmi
In a fair lield. I'rof Clarl: thinks, it is
impossible to get actual monopolies, but
that thero will result a situation in some
lines of industry where the larger the pro-
uiicmg linn i lie i ie-aper will ie ine cost
of production ev en up to the point where
the cheapest producer litis a complete na
lionul motiopolv If so. ho says the
American people ought to recognize such a
fact and proieit th"iiinlves hv proper
prio regulation and other stipulation
"Dut we ought to trv Federal control
flM and the other measures later." he
Mid
Kffootivo T'ederal control should con
cern itself, he t'nuks. lirst with tho oapi
ff list in tliejndu-tiy. who s'(uld be given
fair treatment, somndlv with emplovees,
who should l e given standardized public
service He.itmeiit. third to investors,
who should be guarded against false
promotion and oxcc-ivo stock issue;
fourth to producers of raw materials
in the monopoly and lastlv to the ultimate
consumer who should be as.-ured of fair
treatment, and prices.
If a business becomes a monopoly
don't l afr.iid of it. savs Prof Clark,
hut walk right up nnd pat it on the nose
and it will surely behave. As long as a
monopoly i acquired bv fair means,
nil righf. but be careful it stars fair and
doesn't try to eat up the government and
nil its people.
At the conclusion of the address mem
bers of the rorum met in the church hull
nnd put Prof. Clark through a sharp
questioning
Some of them are in f ivor of Government

OPINION
Where an opinion is general
it is fair to assume it is correct.
There is a general opinion
hat we have earned the right to
'irst consideration on any build
ing proposition of importance.
And there is the further fact
that wc usually get such con
sideration) and in most cases
the contract, too.
Which leads us to observe,
that if an Owner will give us
consideration, the contract will
take care of itself.

Second Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty squeezed another wrinkle
in between his eyebrows and his hair
yesterday morning, rubbed the rain off
his shoulders, lowered his head slightly
and witli a low moaning sound rushed
out beyond tho breakers at the Farkwny
Baths and swam vigorously around
Strung out in a line to starboard of
the Commissioner were two handfuls
of girls und three handfuls of men, all
attired in bathing suits The lateness
of the season had no chilling effect on
their ardor, nor did tho rain of the morn
ing dampen their spirits as much as it
did the crinkle in the girls' hair
With tho Commissioner those hardy
persons plunged and swam, splushed and
gurgled, gasped and shivered, mid stayed
in the cold water ns long as they saw tit.
Yesterday being rainy kept some) of
the members of the Snow Hirds and
Polar Hears swimming clubs at home
Whore there are usually twenty to thirty
girls and twice an many men at Conoy
Island of a Sunday for a swim there were
not moro than twenty vesterdav. Most
of these delayed until after tho rain was
over, but there wero six or eight for the
10 o clock plunge
Attired in raincovs and goloshes
they camo to tho bath and appeared ou
tho beach with a fair r.mount of clothing
on against the rain. The men wore wool-
len buttling suits and sweaters, and some
of Mem wore socks about tho beach.
Before the lineup for the initial plunge
borne cowered under umbrellas, but the
hurdierspirits ran about tho beach playing
toss Dull l ho girls had sweaters over
their bathing suit and somo of them wore
ong skirts while fooling around the
bench
Usually there is a surprising numlier
of persons who evade Sundar church-
going by taking a ride to the island and
watching the miiow birds fluttering about,
but ycbterduy morning there were not
more than twenty stieetutors lter in
tho day their number increased, and by
o clock-, when tho bathers numbered
a score or more, there were several hun
dred watching it
Commissioner Dougherty gave the
word for the lineup for the plunge, and
then bweaters and skirts were discarded
With joined hands the swimmers stood
for the signal from Dougherty and then
swoocd down upon the sea. There were
those who hesitated slightly when the
ooean was reuched tuul then pickod up
sHied aguin, bill mo-it of them continued
timir raio until they could plunge doep
and then ducked, gosped, ducked aguili
und swam nut toward sea
For live minutes they all stayed in tho
water and then out) or two struggled
imi'k io too com wei ucacn, uonn?a their
sweaters and raced around to get their
blood up Commissioner Doucheriv
stood It longer; it must have been ten
minutes before he came out and shook
himself The heavy rain sent one or
two homo early, but the rest disported
themselves on the beach, pnssing the
medicine ball, playing ono old cat nnd
games of lag T he thin Wooded crowtl
under the boardwalk, with coat collars
nulled snugly against tho rain, shivered
closer together.
I he .Snow Hirds nnd Polar Meant start
out each fall with largo memberships,
Imt as the season progresses tho lenirih
of the roll call diminishes. Two months
ago there were a hundred bathers each
Sundav: two months from now them
will probably lie not more than twenty

W.tsui.NuioN, Jjov 1M Tenly-llve
thousand miles looking for a peach -that
is the stujiendous journey which has been
undertaken by Krank N Meyer, agricul
tural explorer for the United .States De
partment of Agriculture. The peach Is J
worthy ot the ell on, according to stories
that have crept into coast areas of Man
churia and eastern China
The peach is described by travellers
w ho have seen and tasted it aa the biggest
and most marvellous combination of ex
ternal beauty and internal lUAciousnees.
Threo pounds is tho apocryphal limit
ascribed tq the fruit by irresponsible na
tive of the wilds of went Chain. Mr.
Meyer in a report to the Department
promises a peach that will weigh at least
a pound and is as large as a muskmelon
This wonderful peach grows in tho prov
ince of Shantung It is known to the Chi
nese as the Kelt Chlug or Felt Tau.
No specimens have ever been brought to
the coast of China. Mr Meyer did bring
back with him from a previous journey
several scions of the I'elt Ching peach and
a number of seeds. The scions failed to
produce when grafted upon American
grown seedling stocks They had failed
to withstand transportation. The De
partment experimenters took u chance
with the seeds and have grown severul
trees at the experimental station at
Kayetteville, N C None of them has yet
fruited and it Is the belief of the experts
that nothing extraordinary will be (level
oped from I lie seedlings. Like other
fruits, the seedling peach only deelops
desirable fruit ings in rare instances. Ac
cording to l.uther Hurhank, hardly more
than one desirable seedling out of a plant
ing of 100,000 seeds is to be expected by the
arboriculturist.

fruit is nearly twice the size of the Jap
anese varioty. of a radiant orungo color
and wholly without seeds.
Another transplanted product of un
doubted commercial value which Mr.
Meyer brought back with him from China
is tho wood oil nut, from which is being
manufactured drying oil and varnish of
the highest quality, heretofore a neces
sary importation, but which tho Depart
ment of Agriculture lias recently proved
to lie both rcvidv of nccllnintlon nnri

industry is on a Profitable liasls. Tho
trees will grow all over Southwestern
sections of tho Unltel Htateu, from tho
Sacramento Valloy to Texas. It can al60
be grown In Florida.
Among the ornamental trees brought
in by Mr. Mover l tho globular topped
willow, considered by landscape artists
tho most beautiful decorative tree in

deciduous trees and tan bo grown in r.nv

Denver, Nov. 24. Somo persons con
versant with the situation havo con
sidered that the desire to secure the
Senatorial salary, accrued since the
death of Senator Charles J. Hughes
nearly two years ago, might have been
the mottvo that Impelled Charles S.
Thoma and his friends to urge In
sistently tho calling ot an extra session
for tho election of Thomas, primary
choice for tho short term.
Senator Hughes's office has been
vacant almost two years, and tho
salary 4or the office for that period,
about 115,000, would be given a now
Incumbent elected or appointed beforo

Gov. Shafroth has refused to call an
extra session of the General Assembly
for the election of Thomas to succeed
Senator Hughes, saying he did not
think any benefit would follow to the
State.

at a harvest home reust in Germany in
1771). the last trustee or the old Harmony
Society, now dissolved, may have to pi j
$lo.-,,noi, with Interest from 143.
John Ratip nnd John Huber were fast
friends in Wllrtemberg until the cake in
cident, arter which they were bitteron
emies.
Rnpp, as a man. rounded the Harmony
Community near here. Huber joined
the French unity nnd nninssed wealth
during Nupoleon's victorious campaigns.
When he found his two sisters. Mrs.
Rental nnd .Mrs. Wagner, had joined
Happ's community he warned them that
whatever money he might will them mus
not be given to the society, bu i must be
held under n separate trust.
In case of the sister's death while mem
lers of the society the money was to bo
paid to their heirs. ,
When Huber died in 1R4.1 his fortuns
was obtained through the courts in Franc
nnd merged with the society's funds.
Litigation followed, but the society re
tained the money. Huber'. will wns un
earthed recently. It specifically directs
that the money left to his sisters muRt go
to their heirs and not to tho society.
The Centals and Wngners, heirs under
the will, will press their claim in court."

Padgett of Tennessee, chairman of tho
committee, is expected to reach Wash
Ington the latter part of this week. Ho
plans to cnll the committee together a
few tlayB after the assembling of Con
gress. Statements by Democratic leaders
foreshadow nn authnrliilnn In th.s
year's bill for two battleships. Tho de.
termination of tno Democrats to keep
tho
navy out or politics will result In
discussion on the mihjoct on Its merits.
Thu navy failed to get two battleships
at tho last session because Importunate
members, hungry for public buildings
effected a combination to defeut navy
extension in the hcpi that money thus
saved would be expended on fculldlngs
for their districts.
The navnl question will be debated in
the open House. This means uccordln
to tho leaders that the policy adopted
eomo years ago of allowing two battle
ships in each supply measure will bo
resumed.
The Administration, through Secre
tary of the Navy Meyer, will ask Con
gress to authorize three battleships
this year. The Democratic leaders will
not consent to such a large addition
to the fleet at this time. They are of the
opinion, howover, that the proapecU
are bright that two dreadnoughts wilt
be authorized.
