But the new aln lies In the use of sugar-so we are told by a docuir of Hoboken, who says: The loss of energy through the con sumption of sugar in the last century and the first decade of this century can never be made good. Alcohol has been consumed for thousands of years, but has pot caused the degeoneration of thi whole human race. Our Now "England forefathurs built the cradle of liberty between sips of '"rult and lum.'.' They fought and, between fights, sipped . their toddles. in these later years we have sought to sliminate the ruin but have held to tihe sular.' It appears we have made a serlous nmistake.

(By Prederio J. Hitkin.) . The ,modern Industrial - develop .nent of the German empire date's fromn 1sdO, the year after the first protective tariff was enacted. a The same genius for organization, the name capacity for thoroughness, tile same subordination of the individual Sto the collective will which character Ixed the rehabilitation of Prusnnian mil itary power under Von Moltke and r whlch obtained Prusslan political *. dottinancy under listnarek, were ap ** plied to the problems of Industrial a development and trade expanslon. n When German union was accomplished i in, 171, and when It had been made permanentl as Bismarck thought, by a the 'forcible represlsop of the social 0 democratie party, the whole attention of the state was turned towards its n Industries. The firal movement was the erec tion of a protective tariff wall about r the country. This resulted in reliev Ing the German, manufacturers from foreign competition, and permitted the application of the Prussian system of organiation to business. As was planned andi expected, there was an Immediate tendency toward combina tions of rival concerns resulting in1 the present systeln of cartelli and syndl Sates, which sustain practically thei same reldtlon to German Inqaustrles as do the trusts to American Industries. The radical difference Is thatt the Ger man trusts were fostered ahd encour aged by the state, while thp American trbsts have hlad to encounter at'least the -pretended' enmity of Slhe govern ment. "In Germany a cartell In an organi 5Atlon for' fixltig prices antudetermin. lag oqndltlons of sale, buý leaving its component concerns freeo to exercise Itndividual judgment, amnd make much or little profit as the ca may be. The German syndlca Ia a more highly organized concer . It acts as Ie sales agent of its Iffilllated con cerns and not only flx prices, but through the pooling sy etom exercises controt over the dlstrlbu ion of profits. German business men, lauding thilr own system of syndlcaes and cartells pretend to be horrlfle4 by the mere suggestion of the possibility of form Ing It Germany a trtist of the ad. vanced Amerlean type. however, the .board of trade of thme city of Essen, a quasl-pbblle asoelat on, has recomn mended seriously the lmalgamation In Germany of the coal And steel syndl cates, suggesting the such a merger by negotiating an ag ement with the American steel trust Would be able to rule the whqle worl . As a matter of fa the differences between the German yndicate and the Amerilean trust are van greater than ia apparent on the a rface. The Oer nman combinations ere brought into existence by the d ibtrate and well. eonsidered action oth; state, while the Ainerlcan Int uitrial combines have resulted part from economic evolution, partly f om special public privileges, and part y from special prl vate privileges. ermany made its laws In advance a d required tile in dustrial combines o shape thenmselves to meet the reqult ements of the law, while, the United tates has not suc ceeded in dipsolvi g and has not tried to regulate Its trusts. The German " usts" are made the beneficiaries of t rlff laws, ship sub sidles. and otilhc special legislation enacted for their( particular encourage. ment; but they are prohibited from preying upon wesaker organizations. within the con /nen of the German. stetos, The Ge Aian syndicate Is per mitted and enc uraged to incorporate in Itself every concern interested in any particular ndustry, but each In dividual concer must be taken In on terms of absol to equality. It Is not permissible for a syndicate to crush a small' independent competitor. The guaranteed ri¢.ht of the small con cern are pro othd by enforced and enforclble latys. both onl time statute books and inl 4he code of accepted busi ness morals. The state owrns or controls absolute. ly every means of transportation, and neither by Iqoans of rebates, private car lines, mnot superior Influence as a large customnpr, can the great syndi cate secure lny advanlage whatever over the snlil Inmanufacturer. When the great COal and steel syndicates succeed in odnvinlcing the national rail way adminlNtiratlon that readjustment of freight raten is necessary to ad vance tile laterests of those two all powerful Cmonblnatlons, the govern ment will n1t fail to favor themn. But at the sanm time the reduced rates are madq v'allable for tile benefit of the sinallomt producer of coal or tihe nlost inalgslificant ironmaster iii tile empire. Both syn dicates and cartolln are voluntary organizations o( constituuent colmpanies, but. In themselnacves thley are not corporations; That Is to say, the syndicate gr cartell is not capitalied, but is con.rolled by a comlmittee rep resenting eaclt constltuent co'poratlont, each of which remnains under the con trol of It own separte set uof stock. holders. .hle German law does every thing posi ble to encourage the for matlon of at syndicate to fix prices and to eliaminate wasteful methods of unrestrict d competition, but it will not pcrmtt Auch a syndicate to capl tallao Its co-uporatlon nor to organlse a holding' company. If the German laws were in force in the Umlted ltates, the steel trust would control an even greater per. contage q' the Iron and steel indus try thal it now does, but there would be no 'teeil Comnmon" quoted on tihe intook exchange, and Mr. Carnegie would haye no etuel Corporation bonds, The steelitrust would be an amalgams. tion of al tile once independent steel concerns, but it would be owned sep. arately by the original stockholders. In other tvords the German system en eourages the co-operative industrial features of the American trust system, but prohlbtts its flnanclal features. Theep is oonlrderable polltoical oppou sltIon i" Germe~am to tl.' tho1iai"of cartelib, bu t t Is not bapatlbpi ' any e tiomo tleir eaosobraftve organli Rgt, iOi.$or * 'r prded~- from any ,. V e n. t r .. . . . . . sinet Is voiced in a demand that the tariff be so changed as to pi+bhlibt the ponsiblliity of the syndicates and car' tells charging higher prices at home thian they do abroad. On the whole there is little or no objection to the German syndicate sys temln on account of its trust feature.. The manaufacturers, both large and small, approve because they profit by the elimination of throat-cutting com petition and wasteful sales nmethods; the Industrial workers approve because syndication enables their employers to pay higher wages; the general publle approves because It belleves that the present prosperity of the country Is the result of thie prevailing system. So cially there is little or no enmity to tie syndicates and cartelis. The aris tocratic and plutocratic elements ap prove because It is to their financial interest, anid the sociallsts approve be. cause they believe that every Indus trial combination brings them nearer to the day when everything is con= blted In the state. As the government itself Is some times a partner In, tihe syndicates and eartells-the Prussian government owns 27 per cent of the stock of the powerful potash syndicae-lthere is concrete justification for the socialist position. The German banking sys. oiln has felt the influence of the ten dency toward combinations, and syn dicatus of banks are partners in indus trial syndicates. The banks are much nmore closely associated with the India tries than they are in Almerla, so solely In fact that It would be Imnpos sible for German banks to profit fromn the disasters befalling Industrial con corns In times of panic. Not only are.tihe German syndicates different from American, trusts in their constitution, and In their relation to the government, but they. are organ ised upon an entirely different concep tion of the nature of business. In America, and In Britain, Intense In dlviduallnrm controls r all business thought, and collectivism is tolerated only when a comblnation can be ptade In which there is money., profit for the indivdual colnblners. Business is busl nles, according to the prevailing An glo-Saxon notion, and the state has no right to interfere in It exceplt to punish fraud and theft. In Germany all pow;qr ite m, in the state, and individuals hayv.4mhe privilege of carrying on busineos ,aujject to the will of the government. .If the; state wishes to take the railways it dde so , and nobody's notion of, the proper sphere of governmental iotlvity i6 out raged.

The usual point .f vle)v takefl Tenems to be th'at It la ininipolrt anand un avoidable Ill, and that the sooner it is over with the better. " This point of view Is, of course, based on the In disputable fact that most children do have the measles sooner or later; and that in most cases it Is a slight matter, 'and that the percentage of fatal cases is not high. Many. children have tllom 'with no mpore symptoms than would attend a bad cold In the head, and are not even sent to beJ. This attitude toward measles on the part of the general public Is a dis tlnctly unfair one for several reasons, and it is a matter that calls for the, awakening of the pu'btic conscience as well as the education of the public mind. O'he parentst of childrens of school-going age' hohld be taught that measles may be, a very dangeropm dis ease to children under three years old,' or. to children who are badly nour ished or- suffering from some other adute or chronic, disorder. It Is contagious from the very start when it. seems like a rather vidlont cold in the head, and before any erup tion apjears; and one child at this stage may be the means not only of sending It through the entire :school but also of transmitting it' tu.the dell cate small children and the young babies in the homes. This being the case, It li only fair that such mothers as do not .osire it for the children, should be Ilren a chance to avoid It. This Is not too much to demand whIeOj it Is known that the state department of health for Neow York state publishes that in one year 'there were more than 1,200 deaths lin 58,000 reported cases, and that mIore persons died of mheasles, than of scarlet fever. Measles Is the most "eetchable" of rall the contagious disease, 'but it is pretty well -conceded that It can only be caught from a person who has It: it is not carried by the welth This beo ing the case, its control should pot be difficult. Every child who dgVelops a somewhat violent attack of. coyzsa' with running eyes and all the s·tual symptoms of cold in the lhead, should' be o'olated for a day or twoq and watched for the development of the characteristic, eruption.. When" thle comes out it is certain the child has not a' "old" but has msyesles, apd its Idolatlon shoald be continued until the eruption has entirely faded.
