IIENEVER the government really wants to bring the
e riiminal rich who are managing these conspiracies
that are notoriously violating the criminal law within
thpen: f that law it will not be difficult.
THERE NEVER HAS BEEN AN HONEST, IN
+ TELLIGENT EFFORT TO ENFORCE THE AMPLE
PROVISIONS OF THE LAW AGAINST ANY OF THE MONSTER MO
NOPOLIES.
The governinent has had no trouble in convicting and driving out
of business a few pjoor, struggling, comparatively HARMLESS
COMBINATIONS which were put together to prevent bankruptcy
and secure a small profit. But the financial buccaneers who have
been "holding up" the country in the necessities of life, keeping out
foreign competition through the tariff at one end and crushing home
competition at the other until the increase in the cost of living is
alarinmin, have remained innunie until every lawyer who has had to
deal with this big question knows that the PRETENDED "EN
FORCE1ENT" OF TIUE LAW IS A HUGE FARCE.
Every time the government has had a chance to enforce the crim
inal I)rovisions of the law-which constitute the only effective part,
the others beinE mainly academic-IT HAS RUN. There are al
ways so many reasons fqor not doing things that it is never difficult to
find one.
WE ALL KNOW THAT THE ANTI-TRUST LAW IS BEING
OPENLY FLAUNTED AND VIOLATED EVERY DAY BY SOME OF
ERFUL MEN IN THE LAND.
ther it looks as if the POWER OF THESE MEN
TOO N[CI[ FOR THE GOVERNMKENT. The evidence of
crimes has been for years available to the public authorities if they
would go abouUt their task as they do in ferreting out smugglers,
counterfeiters, postofivie tlhieves and other classes of criminals.
We are t,hl by a certain section of the press-and some gentle
men around \Val street are*" regaining their smug conlence in that
belief-tlat there las beeii a REACTION IN PUBLIC
MIND) agai n-t what t1y are pleased to call "a ese crin
ia1 conspiraes.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY LET US .4E GEN
TLEMEN ARE MISTAKEN, FOR IF THEY ARE ... 'WE SHALL
HAVE AN UPHEAVAL HERE AS COMPARED TO WHICH THE MILD
AND HARMLESS EXPER!MENTS OF THE LAST ADMINISTRATION
WILL SEEM L!KE A MIDSUMMER ZEPHYR ALONGSIDE A CYCLONE.
THESE POOLS AND COMBINATIONS ARE GROWING STRONGER
AND MORE NUMEROUS. IND.IVIDUAL ENTERPRISE IS BEING
STRANGLED. UNLESS THEY ARE BROUGHT WITHIN THE CLUTCH
OF THE CRIMINAL LAW AND DESTROYED THE FUTURE IS
FRAUGHT WITH DANGER. THE ONLY WAY TO REGULATE THEM
IS TO BURY THEM.
America's Taste For Good
- Music Is Improvinga.
By REGINALD DE KOVEN. Musical Critic and Composer.
J7 EGITF1 MATE lighit oper.a was alnost the sole form of jmusical
t heatrical entertaiinmenit twventy years ago-I mean opera of
the tyhpe created by Offenba ch, Suppe, Johann Strauss and
Sir Arthur Sullivan.
But the theater going public at that time was small as compared
with the presen(it dbiy and generally composed of more or less CUL
TURE PE iiOPLE. As the theater became more and more the re
sort of thie 3iASSES the average of intelligence and the popularity
of iIGH ChLSS COMIlC OPERA DECLINED together as
farce comiely, largely conmposed of the vaudeville element and ovf
pop".r sougp having no particular viaiyor merit, grew in popui
ilar favor.
IN THE MEANTIME, HOWEVER, SUCH MUSIC AS WE HAVE
HAD HAS BROUGHT MUSIC TO A HOST OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER
GAVE IT CONSIDERATION BEFORE AND, EVEN THOUGH IT
-MARKED. A DETERIORATION IN MUSICAL TASTE FOR A TIME, IT
LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MUSt-CAL CULTURE THAT
2-AS AT LAST BANISHED THE COON SONG AND RAGTIME FROM
THE PLACE THEY HELD SO LONG IN POPULAR FAVOR AND HAS
BROUGHT ABOUT AN APPRECIATION OF A BETTER CLASS OF
MUSIC THAN PREVAILED FIVE YEARS AGO.
That we now have an ENORMO0US PUBLIC THAT IS

opera has been having in the large centers of p)opullation the last few
years.

M ARK TWAIN recently gave
some advice to sweet girl
graduates which was a little
out of the ordinary In the
way of commencement speeches. It
was at the graduation exercises of St.
Timothy's school in Catonsville, a sub
urb of Baltimore.
"'There are three things," s.tid the
humorist, -that young ladies shou:d
never do on any occasion.
"First, don't smoke-that is, nuot to
excess. I am seventy-three, and for
seventy-three years I have smoked to
excess, so I am a living example.
"Second, don't drink-that is, to ex
cess.
"Third, don't marry-that is, to ex
cess.
"And now If you young ladies will
refrain from all these things you will
have all the virtues that any one will
honor and respect."
Twain then said he wished to (:rlve
It home that honesty Is the best po!ioy.
"I remember when I had just writ
ten 'Innocents Abroad,'" he said. "My
partner and I wanted to start a news
paper syndicate. We needed $3 and
did not know where to get it. While
we were in a quandary I espied a val

the canine and sold him to a man for
$3. Afterward the owner of the dog

for as the tall humorist was turnint: a
corner he collided with a little man
and overthrew him. The victim re
gained his feet and yelled:
"You do that again and T'll knock

That versatile author and naturalist
Ernest Thompson Seton, though he haE
not escaped censure for alleged nature
faking by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
declares that the former president is
justitied In his lion hunt in Africa, as
lions are a pest. and as vermin among
animals he maintains they ought to be
destroyed.
It is quite possible that the nature
faking query may be raised again in
connection with Mr. Seton's new book.
"The Biography of a Silver Fox,"
which has for its purpose, in the au
thor-s own words, "to show the man
world how the fox world lives and,
above all, to advertise and emphasize
the beautiful monogamy of the better
cla:ss fox."
"The story of Domino Reynard,"
s:iid Mr. Seton, "gives the life history
of a fox in the form , fiction. It is
fiction founded on fact, on my own ob
servations, extending over a period of
many years. Domino Reynard, the
hero of the story, is a composite of
some twenty or thirty foxes that I
have watched as they appeared either
in a wiid state or tamed in different
households. Among other moral quali
ties which I have thus discovered In
the fox is a strong monogamous tend
eney in his family relations, and that
is something which I have emphasized
in my story."

In Independance Hall.
One would scarcely look to Japan for
an orator upon the subject of the:adop

birth of the nation occurred 133 years
ago, the city's councilmanic commit
tee in arranging for a patriotic cele
bration in the old Independence hall
extended an invitation to Baton Ko
goro Takahira, the Japanese ambassa
dor to th# United States, to make the
principal address of the occasion. The

tion to copy them in many ways in the
development of a government by the
people in Japan. The baron will nake
a visit to Japan soon.
One of the subjects to be discusse
by the Japanese foreign oMce with the
ambassador is a revision of the treaty
of commerce and navigation with the
United States, which, with a protocol
regarding passports, the application of
the Japanese tariff to. American im
ports, etc.. will expire in 1911. Japan
has treaties along similar lines with
the other great powers, but they ex
pire by limitation in 1910. This gives
the United States a decided advantage
in dealing with Japan in the revision
of its treaty, as this country will be in
a position to ask concessions made to
other countries and perhaps additional
ones. Japan would like to begin ne
gotiations now with the United States
with a view to revision, so that the
new treaty may become operative at
the same time as those negotiated with
o4her countries, but the Washington
administration does not favor it..
