3 Eruption of the Mt. Belee of That
Jjj Borough.
At Inst the Carbondnle Press club hns
fe'jot Its buinpsl
The trouncing It deserved' for arous
ing enthusiasm over amateur bnse bull
ryto Its highest pitch In' the history of
7vCarbondulo arrived on Saturday, and
vln. Archbnld, the home of nil the wise
men.
The mendncloun trio of writers who
yvcompuse- the. "Press club were lassoed,
"corralled and then put on the rack,
where the kicks and the Raff were Riven
tjtpem as otily Airhbaldlans can admin
ister stick punishment. 'Twas an awful
lrnptlgiillon, and the wonder of It all Is
':'tjiat the peerless editorial staff of the
Archbald Citizen Is not today suffering
-.from nervous exhaustion. "Twas a
noble effort, and the work of the Elbert
iHubbards of Archbnld deserves the
jwnrniost commendation from this com
.'.munlty. 'Twas nothing less than a pub-
-Ut' service, and 'twas clone so well. Like
jvVlphonso to his dear Gaston, the peo
ple hereabouts will be under an ever
ijJnstliiR debt of gratitude to the heroic
tfalnff of the Citizen. Not In a long time
fwere nuup fearlessness and ability ex
uprpsped m the power of the press. Lest
(,,-we forget the debt of gratitude we owe
."the Arijhbald newspaper men, and lest
we lose sight of their unapproachable
liability to 'handle a ball game story and
. to harpoon us we of the Press club
wc re-prlnt the hot stuff thai belched
f,forth from the Mt. Pelre of the Citi
zen's plant on Saturday, wh n In Its
','story of the great ball game at ;-'cran-ton
on Tuesday It sent.fticli pc aiding
.Muff as this down over our backs until
wo were, figuratively, burned to a crisp.
T Now, wouldn't this roast you:
C "How very beautifully the Carbon
dnle bettors wcie sandbagged by the
1 'wind-jammers' nf the Press club! Let
,'us figure a little and see. Carbondnle
'dropped $M0 nt Honesdnlo, $400 at Lake
'jLodoro and S2,nno at Scranton. Total,
fS2,000. What shall we balance this
dWlth? Ah, yes: wo almost forgot. There
"is the comforting assurance that the
TCrescents nre still the 'Pets' of the Car-i-bondale
Press club. Cnrbondnle Is get
ting full value for its good money, Isn't
'.it?"
r Here's more flattery:
"Here are some samples of the base
vball literature of the Carbondnle Press
club: 'Thugs,' 'Thugtown,' 'White Oak
ers,' 'Frogtown.' 'Pot-Holers,' 'Johnny
jDouglier's Town,' 'Culm Pliers,' 'Arch
;fonld hoys can pay their board now,'
''Had Plttston lost, the sheriff would be
busy In Archbald,' and so on. And they
think this is sportsmanlike and funny!
Is ft any wonder that Archbald won?"
J "If Carbondnle didn't have as many
.out-of-town players in Its team as
Archbnld had, we would not mind the
.attempt of the Leader and the Repub
Jican to rob us of the victory."
"Inquirer. Carbondnle No. it Is not
true that the Press club did it pur
posely." Here's a hot oie:
"One swallow doesn't niaUo a sum
mer; neither does the bluffing of three
hiemmnke a base ball team."
Another swipe:
"The base ball man of the Carbon
dnle Leader wns at the game, but ho
evidently would not see it. 'There Is no
one so blind as he who will not see.' "
"Tanks, awfully, for dls," said Chuck
Connors, when ho chewed on this lump
of Archbald taffy:
"The Tribune gave us a Iialf-decent
account of the game. It wasn't entirely
fair to either tumi. We never thought
that Mart wns wholly bad."
Here's how the funny man. or rather
the lending funny man, for they are till
funny on the Citizen, addressed a
marked copy to The Tribune man:
'"Mr. M. T. (not empty, please) O'Mal-
Sley, Mendacity Specialist, Phorce Enter
Pnnd Phcemall Phaclnator, Carbondnle,
.... i. in- oimj w express, or tnc cur
bondnie Press club."
I Here's the Johnny Dougher "hukny"
jthat ' the Citizen throws at Manager
'Tnppnn:
'. "Before we say more about the game,
let us give a few words of praise to
Manager Tnppnn, of the Carbondnle
Ileum. He wan always gentlemanly In
.his relations with the manager and the
;playrn of the Archbald team. He took
nn stock In the 'stuff that tilled the
If'arbomlalo newspapers, nt. enjoyed
l,t he sport and he wished to see It played
fairly. His wish, anil the wish of other
proper portsmep, too, must have been
satisfied by Tuesday's game."
And they are still "Our Pets!"

TYPHOID FEVER CASES.
Largo Number In tho City A Physi
cians' Recommendations.
Typhoid fever Is quite prevalent In
Carbondnle. Slnre the setting In of
September a number of cases have
broken out, and though none thus far
have not been fatal, there are a few
dangerous cases,
A physician of wide practice In dis
cussing the situation with The Tribune
man suggested the wisdom of Impress
ing on the public the urgent necessity
of prudence and caution during the
activity of the typhoid bacilli. He ad
vices that hygenlo laws be religiously
observed, that house-wives keep the
surroundings of their homes In a san
itary condition, even to the liberal use
of the most effectual disinfectants.
Ho further urges the necessity nt
this time of boiling all drinking water
nnd of sterilizing milk by scalding. The
Impurity of the water and the milk
supply Is one of tho principal causes of
typhoid fever, through their contribut
ing agencies. 'Vigilant attention, how
ever, to sterilizing water and milk Is
an important step towards the preven
tion of this -disease, with Its terrible
effects In so many cases.
MORE BALL GAMES.
Manager Tappan Arranging for Last
of the Season.
Tho base ball situation In Carbondnle
Is what the lawyers would call stntu
quo.
Manager Tappan will arrange this
week three or four games which will
close the season, Mlnooka, which now
hns a good team, will likely be here
on Tuesday. Manager Wlrth has made
a proposition to Mr. Tappan to play a
game at Scranton with tho seml-profes-slonnls
for $100 a side which will likely
bo taken up. This will give Carbondal
Inns and Scrantonians an opportunity
to witness a good game and with suf
ficient money at stake to make It In
teresting without being nerve-racking.
As to the Simon Long and the Pitts
ton Brothers' game, Manager Tappan
will make a proposition to the managers
which If acceptable, will prove quite a
drawing card. What tho proposition Is,
cannot be 'disclosed as yet.
DIED IN PHILADELPHIA.
Thomas BurTce, Formerly of This
City, Dies in Hospital.
Thomas Burke, a former well known
Carbondnle youngMnnn died on Friday
in a hospital at Philadelphia. He was
a victim of typhoid fever. He will be
brought here for burial.
The deceased left Carbondnle about
three years ago. He wns the son of
Mr. and, Mrs. Michael Burke, of South
Main sippet, and has enjoyed numer
ous friendships In Carbondnle. The
news of his death will be received with
deep regret among his friends and
former associates.
Seybold in the Game.
The Philadelphia North American In
n recent report of a Philadelphia Ath
letic s game had the following to say of
Eddie Seybold, whom Cnrbondnllnns
will remember for Ills clever playing in
the Held as a member of the Lancaster
team In the days of the old state
league, Says the North American:
"Scarcely had the applause died away
before Seybold again brought the
crowd to Its feet by pulling down In his
gloved hand Doyle's slashing drive
against the scoreboard. An Instant
later he dashed over the foul line and,
while on a dead run caught Hyan's
high foul fly, und'ended the game. Both
catches were dazzling, nnd prove that
"Socks" Ik one of the star outllelders
of today. For a man of his weight the
ground he covers Is remarkable."

REVISION OF
THE TARIFF
NO CURE
FOR TRUSTS
(Concluded from P.igo 1.)
foster a monopoly which does III, why, of
course, no protectionist would object to a
modlllcntlon sufficient to remedy the nvll,
Hut In Very few enses docs tho so-called
trust really monopolize tho market. Take
any very big corporation which controls
say something over linlf tho products of
a given Industry. Surely In re-nrrniiBlng
the schedules nffcctlng such a big cor
poration, It would bo necessary to con
sider tho Interests of Its smaller competi
tors, which control tho remaining part,
nnd which, being weaker, would suffer
most from any tariff designed to punish
all tho producers; for, of course, tho
tnrlff must bo mndo light or heavy for
big nnd little products alike. Moreover
such' a corporation necessarily employs
very many thousands of- workmen, and
tho minute wo proceeded from denuncia
tion to action It would bo necessary to
consider the Interests of these workmen.
Many Trusts Are Unprotected.
Furthermore, tho products of many
trusts are unprotected, nnd would be en
tirely unaffected by any cliaugo In the
tariff, or nt most very slightly so. The
Standard Oil company offers a case In
point: and tho corporations which con
trol tho anthracite coal output offer an
other, for there Is no duty whatever on
anthraclto coal.
I am not now dlscusslnc the question
of the tnrlff as such, whether from tho
standpoint between those who believe In
n protective' tariff and those who bcllovo
In free trade; nor from the standpoint
of those who, while they believe In a pro
tective tariff, feel that there could bo a
re-arrangement of our schedules, cither,
by direct legislation or by reciprocity
treaties, which would result In enlarging
our markets: nor yet from the stand
point ,of those who feel that stability of
economic policy Is at the moment oiu'
prime need, nnd tlint the benefits to bo
derived from any change in schedules
would not compensate for the damage
to business caused by the widespread
agitation which would follow any at
tempted revision of the" tariff at this
moment.
Without regard to tho wisdom of any
ono of those three positions, it remains
true that the real evils cunnectcd with
the trusts cannot be remedied by any
change la tho tariff laws. The trusts
can be dnmnged by depriving them of the
benefits of a protective tariff only on con
dition of damaging all their smaller com
petitors and all the waeo workers em
ployed In tho Industry. This point is
very Importnnt, nnd It is desirable to
avoid any save wilful misunderstanding.
I am not now considering whether or not,
on grounds totally unconnected with the
trusts, It would bo well to lower tho
duties on various schedules,- cither by
direct legislation or by legislation or
treaties designed to secure reciprocal ad
vantages from tho nations with which wo
trade.
Tariff and the Trusts.
My point is that changes In the tariff
would have little appreciable effect on
tho trusts, save as they shared In tho
general harm or good proceeding from
such changes. No tariff change would'
help one. of our smaller corporations or
one of our private individuals in business,
still less one of our woodworkers, ns
against a lnrgo corporation in tho samo
business; on the contmry, If it boro
heavily on the large corporation, It would
lnovitably be felt still more by that cor
poration's weaker rivals, while any In
jurious result would of necessity bo
shared by both the employer and cm
ployed In the business concerned. The
Immediate Introduction of substantial
free trade In nil articles manufactured
by trusts, that Is by the larger and most
successful corporations, would not affect
some of our most powerful business cor
porations in tho least save for tho dam
age done to the business welfare of the
country; others would be seriously nf
fected, but much less so than their weak
er rivals, wlillo tho loss would be div
ided between the capitalists and the la
borers; nnd after the years of panic nnd
distress had been lived through and some
return to prosperity hnd occurred, oven
though nil were on u Ipwcr plane of
prosperity than before, the relative dif
ference between tho trusts and their ri
vals would remain as marked as over.
In other words, the trust, or big cor
poration, would havo suffeivd relatively
Xo, nnd In tho Interest of, Its foreign com
petitors; but Its relative position toward
its American competitors would probably
be Improved; little would havo been
dono toward cutting out or minimizing
tho evils In tho trusts; nothing toward
securing ndequato control and regulation
of the largo modern corporations. In
other words, tho question of regulating
tho trusts, with n view to minimizing
or abolishing tho exlls existent In them,
Ih separate and apart from tho question
of tnrlff revision.
You must face the fact that only harm
will come from a proposition to attack
ttie so-called trusts In a vindictive spirit
by measures conrelvcd solely with a de
sire of hurting them, without any regnul
as to whether or not discrimination
should bo made between tho good and
evil In them, and without even any re
gard as to whether a necessary sequence
of the notion would be the hurting of
other Interests. The adoption of such a
pollny would mean temporary dnmngo to
the trusts, because It would mean tem
porary damage to all of our business In
terests; but tho effect would bo only tem
porary, for, exactly as tho damage affect
ed all alike, good and bad, so tho reaction
would nffect nil nllke,good and lind,
Tho necessary supervision and control,
In which I firmly bellevo Is the only
method of ellmnatlng tho real evils of tho
trust, must come through wisely nnd
cautiously framed legislation, which shall
aim, In tho first plnce, to give definite
control to somo sovereign over tho great
corporations, ana which shall bo fol
lowed, when once this power has been
conferred, by a system giving to the gov
ernment the full knowledge which U the
essential for satisfactory action. Then,
when this knowledge, ono of tho essential
features of which Is proper publicity, has
been gained, what further steps of any
Kind are necessary can bo raken with
tho confidence horn of the poasmslon of
power to deal with the subject and of a
thorough knntfledgo of what ought and
enn be done In tho matter, Wo need ad
ditional power, and wo need knowledge.
Our Constitution was formed when tho
economic condition wns so different that
each state could bo wisely left to handle
tho corporations within Its limits as It
saw tit. Nowadays, all the numerous cor
porations which I am considering do what
Is really an lutertnto business, and as
tho states havo proceeded on very dif.
ferent lines In regulating them, they nro
often organized In a stato in which they
do little or no business, nnd do an enor
mous business in other states, to the
spirit of whoso laws they may bo openly
antagonistic.
No Prospect of Agreement.
It might be better If all the states could
ngreo to work along tho samo lines n
dealing with theso corporations, tint I see
not tho slightest prospect of sued agree
ment. Therefore, I personally feel tlint
ultimately tho nation will havo to as
sume the responsibility of regulating
these very lurgo corporations, which do
an Interstate business,. The states must
I'omblno to meet tho problem caused by
the great combinations of capital; and
the easiest woy for tho states to combine
Is by action through the national govern
ment. I am well awure that the process of
constitutional amendment Is necessarily a
slow one, und one Into which our peopla
are reluctant to enter, buvo for tho best
of rcusonsj but I uni confident that, In
tills Instance, tho reasons exist. 'I am

Without tho adoption ot a constitu
tional amendment, my belief U that a
good deal can bo done by law. It Is diffi
cult to say exactly how much, because
experience has taught us that in dealing
with theso subjects, where tho lines divid
ing tho lights nnd duties of the state and
of the nation aro In doubt, It has some
times been difficult for congress to fore
cast tho action of tho courts upon lis
legislation. Such legislation, -whether ob
tainable now or obtainable only nftcr a
constitutional amendment, should provide
for a reasonable supervision, tho most
prominent fenturo of which, at first,
should bo publicity that Is, tho making
public both to tho government authori
ties and to the people- nt large tho esson
llal facts In which 11m public Is con
cerned. This would give in exact knowl
edge nf many points which nre now not
only In doubt, but Ihe subject of (lerco
controversy.
Publication to Cure Evils.
Moreover, tho mere fact of tho publica
tion would euro somo very grave evils,
for tho light of day Is a deterrent to
wrong doing. It would doubtless dlscloso
other evils, with which, for tho time be
ing, wo could dovlse no way to grapple.
Finally, It would disclose others thnt
could be grappled with nnd cured by fur
ther' legislative notion.

only can ndvlse. and which he has no
power in lilmRelf to take, l'ndcr our
present executive and constitutional limits
tho national oxecutlvo can work only be
tween narrow lines In the Held of action
concerning great corporations Iletween
thoso lines I nssuro you that exact and
even-handed justice will bo dealt, and
Is being dealt, to all men, without regard
to persons,
I wish to repeat with all emphasis that,
dcstrnblo though It U that tho nation
should hnvo tho power I suggest, It Is
equally desirable that It should bo used
with wisdom nnd self-restraint. The me
chanism nf modern business 1 tremendous
in Its size nnd complexity, nnd Ignorant
Intermeddling with It would bo disas
trous. AVo should not bo iiiiulo timid or
daunted by tho slzo of the problem; wo
should not fear to undertako It; but wo
should undertnko It with over present In
our minds dread of tho sinister spirits of
rancor, Ignoinnco and vanity. Wo need
to keep Htcndlly In mind tho fact that, be.
sides tho tangible proinrty In each cor
porntlon, there lies behind It tho spirit
which brings It success, and In tho (aro
of each very successful corporation, this
Is usually tho spirit of somo ono man or
set of men, l'ndcr exactly similar condi
tions, ono corporation will muku a stu
pendous success whero another mnkes a
stupendous fullurc.
Wo should avoid cramping a strength
which, If benelleently used, will bu for
tho good of all of us. The marvelous
prosperity wo havo been enjoying for tho
past few yertrs hns been duo primarily
to the high overage of honesty, thrift nnd
business capacity among our peopla as a
whole; hut some of It nlso has been duo
to the ability of tho men who are the
Industrial leaders of tho nation. In so
curing Just and fair dealing by these men,
let us remember to do them Justice In re
turn, und this not only becauso It Is Is
our duty, but because It Is our Interest,
not only for their rakes, but for ours.
Wo nro neither the friend of tho rich
