Washington, Jan. 20.-President I
Wilson personally laid before a joint I
session of Congress today the fundr- I
-eointal princ'mrs of the Democratic I
administration's program for dealing I
erith trust* and "big business." The I
President presented the c?se, he said, I
"as 5t lies in the thought of the coun- I
tot," reiterating "that private mo- I
istpoly is indefensible and intolera- I
ble,*' and declaring that conscientious I
boam*** men throughout tbs nation I
would not bo satisfied until practic?n I
BOW deprecated by public opinion as I
restraints of trade and commerce I
.were corrected.

In the second place, business men
na well as those who direct public j
affairs now recognize, and recognise]
with painful clearness, the great
harm and injustice which has been
done to many, if not all, of the great ;
railroad systems of the country by
the wsv in which they havo been fi
nanced and their own dirtinctive in
tercsts subordinated to the interest?
of the men who financed them and
r.f other' business enterprises which
those men wished to promote. Thc
country is ready, therefore, to ucccpt, |
ard accept with relief as wejl as no
proval, a law which will confer upon
the Interstate Commerce Commis

Surfl/ly we are sufficiently fnmilinr
with the actual proc?s-.ta and meth

hurtful restraints of trade to make

The opinion of the country would
inrtantly epprove of such a co mm i s

empowered ' to make terms with mo ,
nopoly or in any aort to st -

it efficiency.
Efficiency is tfte result of

You people that have had idle pianos in your
homes, think of the possibilities that a
PL?YER PIANO opens to you.
You can have the music that you like, play it
when you want it, and play it like you want it.
You can play anything from t h e simplest
?popular air, to the most difncul t passage from
'?Chopin, without knowing a note of music.
We will take vour old Piano in exchamrie on
a PLAYER PIANO, and you1 can pay the
balance on easy terms.
GOME IN AND LET US DEMONSTRATE THE PLAYER
