Private Monopoly intolerable

the barges which opinion deliberately
sanctions and for which business
waits.
It awaits with acquiesence in the

Definition Now Possible.
Surely we are sufficiently familiar
ib the actual processes and meth
ode of monopoly and of tfce many
cartful restraints of trade to make
cefitiition possible, at any rate up to
the limits of what experience has dis
i lowed. These practices, being now
abundantly disclosed, can be explic
itly and Item by item, forbidden by
statute In such terms as will prac
tically eliminate uncertainty, the law
itself and the penalty being made
equally plain
And the business men of the
country desire something more than
1 that the menace of legal process in
these matters be made explicit and in
telligible. They desire the advice, the
definite guidance and information
which can be suppl.ed by an admin
istrative body, an interstate trade
: commission
■ The opinion of the country would
instantly approve of such a commis
sion It would not wish to see it em
powered to make terms with monop
oly or In any son to assume control
of business, as if the government
made itself responsible. It demands
such a commission only as an indis
peusible instrument of information
and imbiii ity. as a clearing house for
the fact* by which both the public
mind aud the managers of great busi
ness nndertak ngs should be guided,
and as an instrumentality for doing
Justice to business where the process
es of the courts or the natural forces
of correction outside the courts are
inadequate to adjust the remedy to
the wrong in a way that will meet all
the equities and circumstances of the
case.
"Producing industries, for example,
which have passed the point up to
which combination may be consistent
with the public interest and the free
dom of trade, cannot always be dis
sected into their component units as
readily as railroad companies or sim
ilar organizations can be. Their dis
solution by ordinary legal process may
oftentimes involve financial conse
quences likely to overwhelm the se
curity market and bring upon it break
down and confusion. There ought to
be an administrative commission ca
pable of directing and shaping such
corrective processes, not only in aid
of the courts but also by indepnisnt
suggestion, if necessary.
Make Punishment Certain.
"Inasmuch as our object and the
spirit of our action in these matters
is to meet business Half way in its
processes of self-correction and dis
turb its legitimate Course as little as
possible, we ought to see to it. and the
judgment of practical and sagacious
men of affairs everywhere would ap
plaud us if we did see to it that pen
alties and punishments should fall,
not upon business itself, to its confu
sion and interruption, but upon the !
individuals who use the instrumental- ,
ities of business to do things which
public policy and sound business prac
tice condemn. Every act of business
is done at the command or upon the
initiative of some ascertainable per
son or group of persons. These should
be held individually responsible and
the punishment should fall upon them,
not upon the business organization of
which they make illegal use. It should
be one of the main objects of our leg
islation to divest such persons of
their corporate cloak and deal with
them as with those who do not rep
resent their corporations, but merely
by deliberate intention break the law.
Hus ness men the country through
would, I am sure, applaud us if we
were to lake effectual steps to* see
that the officers and directors of great
bodies were prevented from bringing
them and the business of the country
into disrepute and danger.
utner questions remain woicn win
! need very thoughtful and practical
I treatment. Enterprises, in these mod
i •'ru aa»s of great individual fortunes, j
I are oftentimes interlocked, not by
being under the control of the same
: directors, but by the fact that the !
: greater part of their corporate stock
is owned by a single person or group
' of persons w ho are In some way in- i
I timately related In interest.
Holding Companies.
“We are agreed, 1 take it, that hold
:r.g companies should be prohibited,
but w hat of the controlling private
ownership of individuals or actually
co-operative groups of individuals?
. Shall the private owners of capital
stock be suffered to be themselves in
! effect holding companies? We do not
1 wish. I suppose, to forbid the pur
chase of stocks by any person who
pleases to buy them In such quanti
! ties as he can afford, or in any way
arbitrarily to limit the sale of stocks
j to bonaflde purchasers Shall we re- !
quire the owners of stock, when their
; voting power in several companies
which ought to be independent of one
I another would constitute actual cou
' trol, to make selection in which of
■ them they will exercise their right to
■ vote? This question I venture for
! your consideration.
"There is another matter in which
j imperative considerations of Justice
! and fair play suggests thoughtful
' remedial action. Not only do many
; of th“ combinations effected or sought
; to be effected in the industrial world
' work an injustice upon the public in
general: they also directly and seri
ously injure the individuals who are
put out of business in one fair way or
another by the many dislodging and
exterminating forces of combination.
I hope that we shall agree in giving
I private individuals who claim to have
I been injured by these processes the
right to found their suits for redress
! upon the facts and judgments proved
and entered in suits by the govern
ment where the government has upon
its ow-n initiative sued the combina
tions complained of and won its suit,
and that the statute of limitations
shall be suffered to run against such
| litigants only from the date of the
i conclusion of the government's action.
Individual Justice.
"It is not fair that the private liti
gant should he obliged to set up and
j establish again the facts which the
j government has proved. He cannot
afford, he has not the power to make
use of such processes of inquiry as
the government has command of.
Thus shall individual justice be done
while the processes of business are
rectified and squared with the general
conscience.
“1 have laid the case before you. no
doubt as it lies in your own mind, as
it lies in the thought of the country.
What must every candid man say of
the suggestions 1 have laid before you.
of the plain obligations of which I
have reminded you? That these are
new things for which the country is
not prepared? No; but that they are
old things now familiar, and must of
course be undertaken if we are to
square our taws with the thought and
i desire of the country. Vntil these
things are done, conscientious busi
nessmen the country over will be un
satisfied. They are in these things
our mentors and colleagues. We are
now about to write the additional arti
cles of our constitution of peace, the
peace that is ho»-3r and freedom and
I prosperity.”

CHICAGO’S MOST BRILLIANT 6ILLIARDIST
Calvin W. Demarcst.
Cal tin \V. Demarest, who has held ■
both the world's amateur champion- j
ship and the world's professional
championship at 1S-2 billiards, was
born in Chicago June 20, 1686. He |
made his first appearance in touma-j
ment play in a 14-2 handicap event at 1
Chicago in 1905, and did not lose a
game. Two years later he won the j
national amateur championship at i
14-2 at New York, defeating Conklin.
Wright, Poggenburg and Doctor Mial.
The neit year he won the world's ama
teur chtmpionship at the 16-2 game
Demarest next tried his hand as a pro- !
fessional. but his first appearance with
the "pros". was not encouraging. In
1W5, in a tournament for the world's
1S-2 championship, he finished last.
Later in the same year-the young Chi
cagoan proved that he could come back
by capturing the world's title from a
field that included such experts as
Sutton. Cline, Cassignol and Cutler
In 1910 Demarest lost the title to
Cline. Demarest's strongest point is :
his masse, which the critics agree is
almost perfect.
WHY FELKEY LOST TO SMITH
Couldn't Resist Temptation to Revert
to Old Manner of Slugging—De
feat Quickly Follows.
Tommy Burns. the one-time cham
pion of tjie world, who directed the
training of Arthur Pelkey for the lat
ter's New Year bout with Gunboat
Smith, attributes the defeat of his pro
tege to hjs ( Pelkey's) irresistible de
sire to slug.
Burns spent six months in an en
deavor to transform Pelkey from a
swinger into a straight hitter and just
previous to the fight Burns was confi
dent be had accomplished his purpose
The strangest thing about it all is
that Burns ifter his years and years
cf service, both as a ring man and a
Arthur Pelkey.
coach. should have considered the
transmutation of Arthur Pelkey’s box
ing complete and not be troubled with i
fears of a reversion to the old order |
of things.
Just one stinging jab on the nose '
caused Arthur to forget all Burns had j
been to so much trouble to teach him,
and then went right back to the old
windmill tactics he had employed in j
previous fights.
Priest Favors Boxing.
Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan, the j
eminent EnglUh Jesuit, favors boxing
as an exercise and -an educative ele
ment in the training of boys. He says:
"Every lad wto learns boxing has a
mark not merely on his nose, but on
his character. He is self-confident,
quiet and mcxSjst. The boy who learns
boxing fights straight, whereas the
people who wvote to me wait until a
man's back ii turned and kick him.
There is too much of this kicking
going on in England today. We want
more simple r.traight hitting between
the eyes and not below the belt.”

Bieland Success as Shortstop.
Southern league critics generally
agree that Rivington Bisland was the
best shortstop in the Dixie circuit, j
When Pittsburgh had him it tried to

LEADING OFF FIRST BASE
“There is one outsider on the
Brawns who should be one of
the best baserunners in the
American league,” says Branch
Rickey, the manager of the
American t&il-enders.
"That he isn't is entirely due
to himself. I have watched him
all season and I have yet to see
him slide back to first when a
pitcher threw there.”
There is little doubt Rickey
means Bert Shotten.
”\Vhat does it prove when a
man has to slide back to first
to beat a pitcher’s throw?"
“It means that he isn't get
ting a big enough lead. It
means that, instead of worrying
the pitcher and'thus helping
the man at bat. the baserunner
is underestimating his own abil
ity.
"Every inch of? first base
means that much less distance
to cover on the steal, and every
out at second on a fast man Is
by a matter of inches.
"The baserunner should keep
experimenting on how far he
can lead off from the bag That
will be a regular feature of our
curriculum in the south next
spring. I want every man to
take as much off first base as he
possibly can. Then he’ll help
the batter and he'll worry the
pitcher."
YOST MUST BUiLD NEW TEAM
—
ivtichigan Coach Will Have Weak j
Nucleus to Prepare for Grueling j
Contest With Harvard in 1814.
Fielding H. Yost's ability as a foot- .
ball tutor will be put to its greatest
test on October 31, 1814, when his team
meets the best eleven developed in the
east in years
For two years the Harvard team has
swept through its schedule with never
a defeat and each season the men of
Harvard have won the gridiron cham
pionship of the east. Next year Har- I
vard will have practically the same j
team that Harvard had this esason. '
while Michigan may and again may
not have a team that compares favor
ably with the Yost eleven of 1913.
Had Michigan been able to meet
Harvard this year or in 1915 ber
chances against the great eleven of
Cambridge would be at an even mark, i
but next year—
Yost must rebuild a scoring machine
at Ann Arbor. He loses the pick of
his 1913 line and the stars of his back- i
field by graduation; the field from
which he must choose his new timber
is questionable:.
Paterson, Pontius. Musser. Allmen

Swim Record.
Perry McGillivray established a new
American indoor record for the 880
yard swim at the Illinois Athletic club
in the fourth annual interscholastic
swimming meet, which was won by the
Evanston high school. McGillivray's
time was 11:29 1-5. which beat the rec
ord of 11:44 4-5 made by C. M. Dan
iels of the New York Athletic clmb at
New York in 1907.
Evanston high school won from its
rival competitors, having a total of 19
points at the finish, three to the good
of Oak Park, which finished second
with a net number of 16. Evanston
academy was third with nine points;

Rather Warm.
At a school in Dudley a teacher with
whom I am well acquainted was tak
ing his class in their poetry, “Casa
b anca.” They came to the line. “The
boy stood on the burning deck ” He
stepped the class, and asked this ques
tiDn. “Why did the boy stand on the
burning deck?" He had a good show
of hands, but one lad in particular
seemed very eager to give the answer.
The teacher noticed this, and asked
him. whereupon he got the following
answer. “Because it was too hot to
si', down!” which put the whole class
in an uproar.—London Tit-Bits.
Disagreed With Science.

lift my wife quite easily.
