IDEAS ABE TOO CAPITALISTIC Says the Country Is Ripe for Some Effective, legislation, bat that ''- It Will Require Borne Effective Work. "The greatest problem of this country today is not the tariff, not the trusts," said Louis D. Brandeis of Boston at the Commercial . club luncheon, "but the greatest problem that is besetting us to day is the problem of the waning respect for the law. This is what led to the Los Angeles dynamiting and similar events. The rich man has what he wants, and the poor man comes to feel that be must resort to some method other than the law to get what he feels Is his due." Inslntf leant Results. , Mr. Brandeis had been speaking of the Insignificant results that had been ob tained in the prosecution of the trusts. "After five or six years of Investigation and litigation," said Mr. Brandeis, "the courts have shown ' th Standard Oil trust and this Tobacco trust to be illegal. Then what happened. The very utmost that the courts said was, 'Don't do it again.' Twenty years of wrongdoing and violation of the .Sherman anti-trust law -and then -the only punishment, 'don't do It again.'. The rivals In business, the oruahed rivals got no redress. It was a suit by Hoe government and no individual was entitled to redreBs as the result of a suit by the government If any of the smaller competitors desired redress for the wrongs they had suffered at the hands of these trusts they would have to bring suit against the trusts personally anl introduce all the evidence, which filled twenty large volumes of printed matter.

"Now It only requires a simple statute to provide for a redress for such rival a I would have a statute to read that in the case of a suit brought by the government for the benefit of the people, anyone damaged by the offense of the defendant would have only to file bis complaint for Is won and gets his damages. "Nothing would be more dangerous than to attempt to legalise the monopolies. This would be declaring that we are powerless to control this evlVand that there is a power in this country greater than the power of the American people themselves." Discussing further the matter of trusts and ill conditions resulting from them he said: "I would give women and men both an ppottunlty-., to express them selves.'? X ' Earlier in ..the .day .

"The employes," he said, "worked seven days in a week the year round. The as sociated charities made a computation and found that a man working at the regular wages paid by the steel trust, working seven days in a week and 165 days of the year, would at the end of the year fall $1.60 short of what the associated charities had found to be the minimum cost of CARDINAL FARLEY ENDS VISIT Leaves for Denver to Assist in the Cathedral Dedication.

"I object to the proposal of the pro gressives to do great things for the peo ple," said Louis D. Brandeis, the noted BoBton lawyer, when he arrived In Omaha Friday morning, "I object to . that pro posal because I believe we as a people rose to greatness through the people do ing for themselves." Mr. Brandeis ar rived shortly after 10 o'clock in the morn ing, and later spoke to tne Commercial club at a noon luncheon. In his room before noon he discussed politics to some extent He is enthusiastic for the elec tion of Wilson and, of course, finds more material favorable to Wilson's election than for any other candidate. He said that the country was ready for some legislation in that the people for the last ten years had been studying social and economio Questions of their country in tensely.

Cardinal Farley, and party of prelates departed for Denver yesterday afternoon at 1:25 after the most pleas ing, stop they have made since leaving New Tork for the Pacific coast. The cardinal who loves the fresh, morn ing air, was out bright and early to ab sorb the invigorating w astern sunshine, and he set a pace that w possibly a bit strenuous for others of the party. After a refreshing night of sleep he in dicated that he wanted to see Omaha, having heard so much about it Auto mobiles were secured and a round of the city was made. He started off the day by saying mass at the Academy of Sacred Heart, which is near the residence of Bishop Scannell. whose guest he was during the night After the service he laid away his robes, partook of a hearty breakfast, and ex pressed impatience to be about and bust ling. Taken for Drive. Together with Bishop ticannell, members of the cardinal's party and some of the Omaha parish priests, the distinguished divine was taken for a drive about the city and the points of interest were indl cated to them, especially St Cecilia's cathedral, the magnificent "tructurs which is now in course of construction. The cardinal was especially anxious to visit Crelghton university, and he was astonished at the magnitude of the in stitution and the thoroughness of Its man agement. At the university he met most of the instructors, for all of whom he had a cheerful word of encouragement Thursday night the cardinal was the cen tral figure at a quiet dinner at the resi dence of Bishop Scannell.

Being asked as to the alleged socialistic tendencies of the progressive movement, he said: "I should not call them so cialistic I should rather call them cap italistic. I view the progressive move ment not as an insincere one. but as a mistaken notion. Many of my best friends hen and Bishop Dunn of Peoria, who came west with the party from Chicago, and local parish priests. Leaving here yesterday on the Rock Island, the cardinal and his party will ar rive in Denver this morning, and after a rest will participate in the cathe- i dral dedication there Sunday.

Mr. Brandeis said the country was ripe for some effective legislation, but said it would require careful work. "The ques tions before us are so great and so im portant," he said, "that I view with ap prehension any attitude of cock-sured-ness on the part of any party or can didate." "When asked what party he thought held the greatest amount of this cocksuredriess he would not say. living and of decency -of a man, wife and three children. y- "We must open the avenues of oppor tunity for the men of this country U we would, realise the best But the trusts have said, 'Capital will , hire men.'
