Hewitt pointed out not Ion ir a!o. m tmttiy large, cor porations capital has borne nil the losses ind they have beeu heavy ar.d has kept its factorieH and stores in operation in order that itn labor might not suffer. Tho sacrifices that have thus been made by large coin binutious of capital iu these times and iu every part of the country, if they were fully known, would go far towards making us forget the grev ious wrongs that have been done by conscienceless trusts and the politi cal corruption which they have prac tised. This is the other side of the story of trusts and other combinations of capital. It will bo seen that they have their virtues as well as their voices, and the foriuor'as well as the latter must be taken into considera tion by the legislator when he un dertakes to frame an Anti-Trust law. otherwiso ho niav do the country a previous wrong. It is understood now, in the light of the recent Su preme Court decision, that a law which makes criminal a reasonable agreement, even if it bo no restraint of trade, is u bud law, and it ought to be understood, as a corollary to the proposition, that it is difficult, it not impossible, to flume any law that will punish al! contracts in re straint of trade, that will not at the sanio 1 i in o unhappily interfere with combinations of capital and labor that tire -wholesome and benelicient, and that ought therefore, to bo al ways lawful. Thero ought to be laws for the prevent ion r.nd punish ment of the oppressions of trusts, and against their undue aggrandize ment ; and there ought to be no law that .vill encourage and aid in their formation at the expense of the rest of the community that will change in their behalf natural conditions which, as the world is governed at pieseut, are sufficiently friendly to them. Jf the tendency of trusts to wards tyranny and corruption can not be prevented by the law, it might bo better, for the suke of the country, to forego the blessings that result from combinations of capital. But we are not yet ready to admit that the democratic form of govern ment is so incompetent as this. When tho legislator goes beyond this, however, and undertakes to regulate the details of the business of corporations, he is likely to hud himself in such a slough of despond as the trainers of tho Anti-Trust laws are placed in by the recent de cision of the Supremo Court. liiil?r'x M't fkh. When Loving Mothers Grow Selfish. "It is when children reach ma turity that tho supreme test of pa rental love comes," writes Edward Y. lok, discussing tho home-leaving of children at tho time of mar riage, in the May Lmlits' Jtmnv Jotinittl. "All through infancy and early years the children are more or less care. And then, just as tho pa rents feel relieved from cares and anxieties, and arc beginning to en joy the companionship of their children in tho serene and complac ent way which 'grown-ups' have, thero comes a llutteriug of tho wings, a remote suggestion of flight. The ton ii do less bis mother's boy than he has been and ever will be. But he is and who realizes it so quickly as a mother T in a new and very natural sense, another womau's hero : and that woman a girl With her he discerns, away out on the horizon line, the shadowy lines of a house that is to become a home, their very own. The girl, too, whose going in and out of the house has been a daily joy to the parents she, too, has become a heorine to some other than her father or her mother. It is hard for the parents to realize that this mate of her flight can care for her as they have ; that in her young eyes, in her young heart, it is possible that he can be altogether noble and capable ! And after the young birds have taken flight the parents wonder if sometimes they do not grieve in their new life. But some fine morning a clearer vision is given them, and they realize that, after all, their t hildruu are only play ing the same roll which they played a few years before. It is a mag nificent quality in parents when they so prepare themselves that they can meet this inevitable time with the proper spirit when, in other words, parental love can get the better of selfishness." Should Be Suppressed The following we take from the l'hiladeldhia Press. "Kvery few days the papers contain an ucccount of somo infamous outrage, perhaps culminating iu murder, that has been committed by trumps, and it is stated that the neighbors are greatly excit ed and are in quest of the criminals. who will probably bo lynched as soon as they are apprehended. This is all very well for talk; but there is very likelihood that these volun teer efforts of citizens who have no experience in detecting criminals will be successful. From the nature of the case, the tramp is very difficult to truce. He has no habits, no re sorts; he wanders from placo to place as his passing faucy dictates, he buys no railroad tickets, he sleeps out of doors, and ono tramp re sembles another tramp as one pea resembles its fellow pea. And all these circumstances which make it so difficult to follow and arrest him make it equally difficult to convict him. The remedy for outrages by tramps is very simple. It is, not to have ti ftuir.s. The way not to have tramps is to discourage them, to make them impossible. It is idle for us to feed the tramp at the back door and to give him clothing, and then to be fill ed with wonder aud horror when the process of evolution has become com plete and the trump has been (level oped into a murderer. The cure of tho evil must begin further back. The tramp should be suppressed as a nuisance, he should be arrested and put to hard labor for a term which should progressively increase with every arrest. Wo can not ex pect freedom from crime while the trump goes at large unmolested and even encouraged "' A Viilmtlile I'reserlpllon.
