Some of these combinations art among the moat powerful of all lnstru. .nents of wrongdoing. Others offer the only effective way of meeting actual bus iness needs. It la mischievous and un wholesome to keep upon the statute books unmodified a law, like the anti-trust law, which, while in practice only partially ef fective against vicious combinations, has nevertheless In theory been construed so ,-. , as sweeplngly ' to prohibit every combina tion for the transaction .of modern business. Boms real good has resulted from this law. Hut the time has come whe H Is Impera tive to modify It Buch modification is 1 urgently needed for the sake of the bus iness men of the country, for the sake of the wageworkcrs and for the sake of the farmers.

I do not pretend to say the exaot shape that the bill should take, and the suggestions I. have to offer ar tentative; and my views, would apply equally to any other measure which would achieve the desired end. .Bearing, this In mind.

"The' substantive part of the antl-trust law should 'remain as at present; that Is, ivery contract In restraint of trade or commerce among1 the several state or with foreign nations should continue to be de clared Illegal; provided, however, that some proper governmental authority (such as the commissioner of corporations acting under ihe secretary f commerce and labor) be allowed to pass on any such contract. Probably the best method of providing for this would be to enact that any contraot, subject to the prohibition contained In the tntl-trust law, Into which it was desired to nter might be filed with the bureau of corporations or other appropriate executive body. . This would provide, publicity. Within, say. slsty days of the flllng whlch , period could be extended by order of the department whenever for any reason It did not give the department sufficient Sims ,for a thorough examination the ex Kutive' department having power might forbid the contract, which would then be rome subject to the provisions of the sntl rust law, If at aH In restraint of trade.

Whenever the period of filing had; passed without any such prohibition, the contracts or combina tions could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice and hearing with a rea sonable provision for summary review on appeal by the courts. Labor organisations, farmers' organisations and other organisa tions not organised for purposes Of profit, should b allowed to register under the law by giving the location of tho head office, the charter and bylaws, and the names and addresses of their principal of ficers. In the Interest of all these or ganisationsbusiness, labor and farmers' organisations alike the present provision permitting the recovery of threefold dam ages should be abolished, and as a substi tute therefor the right of recovery-allowed for should be only the damages sustained by the plaintiff and the cost of the suit. Including a reasonable attorney's fee. Unreasonable Contracts. "The law should not affect pending suits; a short statute of limitations should be pro vided, so far as the past is concerned, not to exceed a year. Moreover, and even more In the lntereet of labor than of business combinations, all such suits brought for causes of action heretofore occurred should be brought only If the contract or com bination complained of was unfair or un reasonable. It may be well to remember that all of the suits hitherto brought by the government under the anti-trust law have been In cases where the combination or contract waa In fact unfair, unreason abls and against the public Interest. Tra.de Agreements Eaeeertsei. "It Is Important that We should encour age trade agreements between employer and employe where they are Just and fair. A strike Is a clumsy weapon for righting wrongs done to labor, and we should ex tend, so far as possible, the process of conciliation and arbitration as a substitute for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder and coercion, when committed In connec tion With strikes, ' should be as promptly and as sternly rep'ressed as when commit, ted In any other connection. But strikes themselves arc. and should be, recognized to be entirely legal. Combinations of work Ingmen have a peculiar reason for their existence. The very wealthy individual employer, and still more the very wealthy corporation, stand at an enormous advan tage when compared to the individual worklnsnan; and while there are many cases where It may not be necessary for laborers to form a union, In many other cases it is Indispensable, for otherwise the thousands of small units, the thousands of Individual worklngmen, will be left help less in their dealings with the one big unit, the big Individual or corporate employer. "Twenty-two years ago, by the act of June 29, 18S4, trades unions were recognised by law. and the right of laboring people to combine' for- all 'lawful purposes' was formerly recognised, this right including combination for mutual protection and ben efits, the regulation of wages, hours and conditions of labor, and the protection of the Individual rights of the workmen In the prosecution of their trade or trades; and in the act of JuA L 1898, strikes were recog nised as legal in the same proylslon. that forbade participation In or Instigation of force or violence against pers6ns or prop- ' "A friend recommended Cooper's New Discovery medicine to me, but I had been disappointed so often that I was skeptical Bhe waa so persistent, however, that I finally consented to give It a trial as a last resort. Accordingly, I purchased a bottle of the Cooper preparation at the Beaton Drug Store and began using It. "To my surprise, results were lmm.dlate. and after having used one bottle I feel perfectly well. My stomach has been put Into splendid condition, and the catarrh In my head has disappeared. I have good reason to be thankful to Mr. Cooper for the benefit I have derived from his medi cine., and am glad to have an opportunity to recommend It to others." W omen.. erty, or the attempt to prevent others from working. ' by violence, threat or Intimida tion. The business men must be protetced In person and property, and so must the fsrmer and the wageworker; and as re gards all alike, the right of peaceful com bination for all lawful purposes should be explicitly recognised. , The Riant of Contract. "The right of employers to combine and contract with one another and with their employes should be explicitly recognised; and so should the right of the employes to combine and to contract with one another and with the employers, and to seek peace ably to persuade others to accept their views and to strike for the purpose of peaceably obtaining from employers satis factory terms for their labor. Nothing should be done to legalise either a black list or a boycott that would be Illegal at common law, this being the type of boycott defined and condemned by the Anthracite Strike commission. "The question of financial leglsaltlon Is now receiving such sttentlon In both houses that we have a right to expect action be fore the close of the session. It Is urgently necessary that there should be such action. Moreover, action should be taken to estab lish postal savings banka. These postal savings banks are imperatively needed for thf benefit of the wageworkers and men of small means, and will be a valuable ad. Junct to our whole financial system. Tariff Revision Next rail. 'The time has come when we should pre pare for a revision of the tariff. This should be, and Indeed must be, preceded by careful Investigation. It Is . peculiarly the province of the congress and not of the president, and Indeed peculiarly the province of the house of representatives, to originate a tariff bill and to determine upon vlts terms; and this I fully realise. Tet it seems to me that before the close of this session provision should be m-He tnr collecting full material which will enable tne congress elected next fall to act imme diately after It comes Into existence. This would necessitate some action, by the con gress at its present session, perhaps In the shape of directing the proDer committee tn gather the necessary information, both mrougn tne committee Itself and through government agents who should report to the committee and should lay before It the facts which would nermlt It to a. t oitn prompt and Intelligent fairness. These gov eminent agents, If It Is not deemed wise to appoint Individuals from outside the public service, might with advantage be members of the executivoepartments, designated by the president, on his own motion or on the request of the comlmttee, to act with It. I am of the opinion, however, thet change in the tariff -could with advantage De maae rortnwith. Our forests need every protection, and one method of protecting them would be to put upon the free list wood pulp, with a corresponding reduction upon paper made from wood pulp, when they come from any country that does not put an export duty upon them. Water-re ys Commission. "Ample provision should be m r.,r . permanent waterways commission, with wnaiever power is required to make it ef fective. The reasonable exDertetinn r h people will not be met unless the congress provides at this session for the beginning and prosecution of the actual work of waterway Improvement and control. The congress should recognise In fullest fash Ion the fact that the subject of the con servation of our natural mnnma --i.t. which the commission deals. Is literally vuai ior xne ruture or the nation. -"Numeroua bills granting water nw. rights on navigable streams have been In troduced. None of them give the govern ment the right to m,ake,a'reasqnable charge for the valuable privileges so granted, In spite of the fact that these Water power privileges are equivalent to many thoxX sands of acres of the best coal lands for their production of power. Nor Is any definite time limit set, ss should slways be done In such cases. I shall be nhii- hereafter. In accordance with the policy stated In a recent message, to veto any water power bill which does not provide for a time limit and for the right of the president or of the secretary concerned to fix and collect such a charge as he may find to be Just and reasonable in each case."

Since the first of the week 76 per cent of them took to the fields with their plows snd are already breaking for the firat crop of the spring.

The re publican state convention to elect presiden tial electors for the state and delegates for the state st large to the Chicago conven tion which was called to order at 10 o'clock thla morning was the stormiest In years.
