T., Sept. 20.—An east- bound Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf freight train ran into the rear of the Sells-Downs show train here at 5 o'clock this morning. show train were demolished and many of its occupants. were pinioned beneath the | wreckage. Two persons were killed and twenty-si njured, all but four seriously. ANl of the casualties were on the show train. The dead are: HARRY WILLIAMS. i A NEGRO, unidentified, The seriously injured are: Lawrence Cheatman, internal injuries; Belle Cheat- man, *“African queen”; A. W. Whitman, conductor, leg cut off, arm broken and back hurt, will_dle; W. F. Parks, leg broken; G. W. Bryan, arm fractured; J. M.

Jones, feet crushed; Robert Bruce; Miss Prince; Oscar Johnson; Linden Natham, colored, arm broken; Prince Mongel, col- ored, badly hurt; Josie Smith, colored, head hurt; G. Biko, internal injuries; John Smith, head cut. The show train was standing on the main track ‘when the accident occurred. The {freight engine was not damaged bad- ly and the freight crew was unhurt. The show people placed the blame. for the wreck on_ the freight engineer, and be- came so demonstrative that he fled. Thie uninjured went quickly to the relief of those hurt and soon extricated the dead and injured, all of whom were taken to Oklahoma City, sixteen miles distant, late in the afternoon. After the excitement had died down the freight en- gineer returned. He declares that the lights on the show train were out and that he was unable to see the show train in the rain and darkness. FLAMES ARE SUBDUED ON AN ATLANTIC LINER Women Passengers on the St. Paul Kept in Ignorance of a Fire. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The American line steamship St. Paul, which arrived to- day, reported ‘that on the voyage a ‘suc- cessful fight had been made against a fire which raged for twelve hours in the clothesroom. The fact that the ship was afire was kept from the -women passengers, al- though the men of the first cabin were made aware of the possible danger. —_—— Roofer Falls Thirty Feet.

Two sleeping-cars of the | Uncle Sam Has ‘Abun- dant Groundsin Rou- manian Case. Interference in Eehalf of Jews May Become Much Stronger. AL WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—In view of the disposition shown in some quarters of EBurope to question the propriety of the interference of the United States in be- half of the Roumanian Jews and having in mind a statement from Roumanian au- thorities to the effect that these Jews had declined agricultural work, it may be of interest to note the fact that the State Department was particularly careful to verify all the complaints that had reached here frem various sources respecting the harshness of Roumanian laws. While the treaty of Berlin explicitly forbade discrimination against any per- son in the Balkan states, on account of religion, the Roumanian Government sought to evade the clear provision by de- creeing that the 400,000 Jews living in the country were not citizens and consequent- IY that their protection was not contem- plated by the treaty. Therefore, without naming the Jews as the direct object of hostile legislation, the Roumanian Government proceeded to en- act certaln laws which the State Depart- ment regarded as in deliberate violation of the spirit of the treaty. For instance, one law provided that no Jew should live in the agricultural sections of the coun- try. Another prohibited Jews from en- gaging in agricultural labor. Another for- bade the Jews to own farm lands. Finally, a law declaring that any one who employed a Jew should also employ no less than two Roumanians and this restriction was prohibitive of Jewish la- bor in the small establishments. Alto- gether the working of these laws, as re- cited in Secretary Hay's circular note, was to deprive the Jews in Roumania of | nearly all opportunity to earn an honest living and find honorable employment. These facts will doubtless be enlarged upon if the Roumanian Government un- dertakes to impeach the statements con- tained in the Jewish note. GENERAL AND ADMIRAL PRAISE THE LIEUTENANT Kenneth Williams’ Service in Rescu- ing Marines Brought to Gov- ernment’s Notice. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Lieutenant Kenneth P. Williams, First Infantry, has been recommended by General Chaffee for a Congressional medal of honor for his €kill and bravery in leading the detach- ment to the rescue of the marine detach- ment which completed the now famous march across Samar. A noteworthy por- ticn of General Chaffee's letter reads as fcliows: “Not again in your military career nor in that of the men accompanying you on ikis arduous undertaking will conditions likely arise that will tender you the op- portunity of rendering such unheard of and never-to-be-forgotten services to your cauntry, which entitles you to greater thanks and to the nation’s gratitude.” Rear Admiral Rodger's letter stated that “The marine detachment would un- doubtedly have perished to a man had it not_been for the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant Kenneth P. Williams. “FOR ALL - B e R R | L. Sheppard. HERE are two things that the whole medical profession agree about con- cerning catarrh.

Sheppard, Member of Congress from Texas, writes: Gentlemen:—*I have used Peruna in my family and find it @ most excellent remedy for ail catarrhal complamts.” —Congressman John cates nearly every disease he is called up- on to treat. The second thing about catarrh on which all doctors agreé, is that it is dif- ficult to cure it. Local remedies may give relief, but they fail to cure permanently. Sprays or snuffs amount to little or noth- ing except to give temporary relief. Catarrh is frequently located in inter- nal organs which cannot be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is ,known by every physician. Pe-ru-na is Most Ex'cellei;t,” WriteS Congréssman John L. Sheppard. To devise some systemic. internal rem- edy which would reach cdtarrh at its source, to eradicate it permanently from the system—this has been the desire of the medical profession for a long, time. Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted this problem, He believed then . that he had solved it. He still belleves he has solved it. He cures thousands of pedple annual- ly. During all these years Peruna .has mn the remedy upon which he has re- ed. It was-at first a private prestription, af- terwards manufactured expressiy for him in large quantities. This remedy, Peruna, is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every home in the land. It is the only reliable internal remedy ever de- vised to cure any case of catarrh, how- ‘ever long the case may have been stand- ng. A Case of Nasal Catarrh of Five Years’ Standing Cured by Pe-ru-na. Hon. ‘Rudolph M. Patterson, a - well- known lawyer of Chicago, IIL, writes: “I have been a sufferer from nasal ca~ tarrh for the past five years and at > earnest solicitation of a friend I tried Pe- runa and am glad to say it has afforded a complete cure. It is with pleasure I recommend’ it to others.”—~Rudolph M. Patterson. " A course of Peruna never fails to bring relief. There is no other remédy like Pe- runa. Its cures are prompt and per- manent. ¥ Mr. Camillus Senne, 257 West 129th street, New York, writes: - . 4 hl.\lle ttully recovered from my ca- tarrhal strou- ; bies. I suffered seeeeesssssesen for three iyears rfrh of without but at Jast have been cured by the wonder- ful remedy call- 2d Peruna. “I read of Pe- runa i your alm anac, and wrote you for advice, which I followed. After B taki; one-hal of Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recommend Peruna to any one as the best and surest remedy for any catarrhal troubles.”—Camillus Senne. Hearing Lost by Catarrh—Restored 3 7 by Peruna. Mr. ; Willian_Bauer, Byfton, Texzas, a Ginner and Miller, writes: “Some years ago 1 lost the hearing in my left ear, and, upon‘examination by a specialist, catarrh was decided to be the cause. I took a course of treatment and regained my. hearing for a time, but I soon lost it completely. I commenced to take Peruna according to directions and have taken eight bottles in all, and my hearing is completely restored, and I shaH sing the praises of Peruna whenever an opportunity occurs.—Wm. Bauer. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice ‘atis.

To-day ‘I wish to speak to you on the sub- Ject or groun of subjects which we mean when of the tru The word is used very vith technical in- very big corporations, the growth of which has been so 1 a feature of our mod- ern times, and ¢ those big corpora- ton= which, tha organized in one State, do business in several States, and some of tendency .to monopolize. This cct of the trusts is of vital concern to us, because it presents one and perhaps the most congplcuous of the many problems forced fpon our attention by the tremendqus indus- trial development which has taken place dur- Fall @Winter 1902 71903 Agents for the following kigh-grade maker:s Brokaw Bros.. ers Peet ®Co. Hart Schaffner ®. Marx B see of New York of Chicago ing the Jast half century, n all civilized coun- teles. and notably in our own. Many factors have occurred in bringing these changed indus. trial conditions. Of hese steam and electricity are the chief. The extraordinary chanse in-the methods of transportation of merchandise and of transmission of intelligence has rendered not only possible, but jnevitable, the immense increase- in the rate of growth of industrial centers—that’is, in the great cities. Hence has resulted the specialization of [ndustries and the unexampled ofiportunities offered for the em- ployment of huge amcunts of capital and there- fore for the vise In the business world of those master minds through which alone it is pos- sible for such vast sums of capital to be em- ployed with profit. Now It matters very litttle whether or not we like thess new conditions, the creation of these new opportunities. Many admirable qualities which were developed in the older, simpler, less progressive life have | to some degree atrophied under the conditions of our rather feverish, high pressure, complex and specialized life ‘of to-day. But our likes and diglikes have very littla to do with the matter. The new conditions are here. They have produced bath good and evil. We cannot get rid of them—even if it were not undesirable to get rid of them; and our instant duty is to try to accommodate our social, economic and legislative life to them, and to frame a sys- tem of law and conduct under which we shall get out of them the utmost possible benefit and the least amount of barm. It is foolish to pride ourselves on our marvelgus progress and prosperity, upon our commanding position in the international world and at the same time have nothing but denunciations for the men to whose commanding business ability we in part owe this very progress and prosperity, this commanding position. CANNOT DAM FLOOD. ‘Whenever great social or industrial changes take place, no matter how much good there may be to them, there is sure to be some evil, and it usually takes mankind a number of years-and a good deal of experimenting before it finds the right way in which, so far as pos- sible, to control the mew evil without at the same time nullifying the new good. In these eircumstances the effort to bring new tenden- cles to a standstill is always futile and gen- erally mischievous; but it is possible somewhat to develop them aright. Law can to a degree guide, protect and control industrial develop- ment, but it can never cause it or play more than'a subordinate part in its healthy develop- ment—and unfortunately it is easy enough by bad laws to bring it to an almost complete stop. The homely simile of what can be done with a great river is far from inaccurate. The Lower Mississippi fertilizes a great country and also at times ravages It by floods. To at- tempt to dam it in order to stop these floods would be futile, and even If not futile would be harmful. But it {s entirely feasible to build 2 system of levees by which these floods shall be largely controlled. ' The levees take time and trouble to make and to keep in order, and they do not by any means avert all mischief. Yet they do accomplish much good, and they offer’ the only method of accomplishing any good. The only way in which to bulld them or fo exercise control over the current is by thor- oughly examining into the facts in the first | place, and in the second. place by proceeding in | a spirit of combined sanity and. resolution, avoiding above all things every form of hyste- ria, panic and blind rage,.and not expecting the impossible either in time or achievement. Incidentally it is also necessary to beware of the type of excellent person who insists that floods do good and not harm, and that in any event the effort to control them will doubtless somewhere interfere with the water supply and damage the Mississippl River, ADVOCATES EVOLUTION. In dealing with the big corporations we in- tend to proceed not by revolution, but by evo- lution. We wish to face the facts, declining to have our vision blinded by the folly of those who say there are no evils, or by the more dan- gerous ‘folly of those who either see or make believe that they see nothing but evil in_ all the existing system, and who if given their way would destroy the evil by the simple pro- cess of bringing ruin and disaster to the entire country. The evils attendant upon over- capitaiization alone are in my judgment suffi- clent to warrant a far closer supervision and control then now exist over the great corpora- tions. Wherever a substantial monopoly can be shown to exist we should certainly try our utmost to devise an expedient by which it can ba controlled, Doubtless some of the evils e: isting In or because of the great corporations cannot be cured by any legislation which has yet been proposed, and doubtless others, Which have really been incident to the sudden development in the formation of corporations of all kinds, will In the end cure themlelv:’. But others will remain that can be cured if we only set about curing them with sanity. The surest way to prevent the possibility of curing any of the evils is to approach the subject in @ spirit of violent rancor, complicated with total ignorance of business conditions and of TRUSTS SR M ik are handled honestly and fairly, So far ad #éin being an evil, are a natural business evolution; and make for the general prosperity of dur private or corporate, must be subject tg.the law of the land; and the Government will- hold themt to a rigid.observance thereta.

But this is simply anotber way of say- ing that the wisdom of mankind is finite; that ‘even the best human'system'cannot work per- tectly, ¢ The men who propose to get rid of the evil ‘trusts by measures which will do away with s zeneral well beipg advocate a policy which would not pnly be a damage to the community &s u whole, “but “which would defeat its own professed object. If we are forced to the al- ternative of choosing a system under which us prosper:too much, or else a system under which' o ove prospers enough, why of course we will' choose the former. AS TO PUNITIVE TARIFF. A remedy much advocated at the moment is to tdke off the tariff from all articles which are made by trusts. To do this it will be nee- essary first ‘to define trusts. The language comuonly used by the advocates of this method implies that they mean all articles made by and that the changes in tariff are to be made with punitive intent toward these large corporations. Of course, if the tAMf 8 to be changed in order to punish “them, it should be changed so as to punish those that do ill, not merely thoss that are jus. It would neither be just nor expe- “th. :punish the big corporations as corporations; what we wish to do”'is "to protect the people from any evil that may grow cut of their existence or maladminigtration. Some of these corporations do well'and others do ill. If in any case the tarift js .found to foster a monopoly which does i1l why, of course, no protectionist would object b a ‘modification of the tariff sufficient to remedy the evil. But in very few cases does the so-called trust really monovolize the mar- ket. 'Tuke'any very big corporation which controls say something over half the products of a given industry, Surely in rearranging the schedules affecting’ such a big corporation it would be necessary to consider the interests uf its smaller competitors which control the re- maining and which, being weaker, would suf- fer most from any tariff designed to punish all producers; for, of course, the tariff must be made light or heavy for big and little pro- | ducers -alike. Moreover, such a_corporation necessarily employs very many thousands of | workmen, and the minute we proceeded from den: tion to action it would be necessary to consider the interests of these workmen. Furthermore, the droducts of many trusts are’ bnprotected and would be entirely unaffected bty any change in the tariff, or at most very slightly so. - The Standard Oil Company offers a case in point; and the corporations which control the anthracite coal output offer another there is no duty whatever on anthracite £ am . not ng the question of as such, whether from the standpoint of the ntal difference between those who believe In a protective tarfft and those who be- ph'::c m}lr:e N hor from the standpoint of Wwho, w) ey believe in a protective . feei. tha % tart: it < could & rearrange- ment of our schedules, either by direct legisla- tion or‘by réciorocity treaties, which would re- sult n our markets; nor yet from the standpoint of those who feel that stability of c policy is at the moment our prime economic need and that the benefits to be de- rived from any change in schedules would not compensate for the damage to business caused by the widespread agitation which would fol- low any attembted general revision of the tar- iff at this moment. Without regard to the Wwis- trusts canrot be of the bepefits damaged depriving them of a wuuez’u::fln.nglly wn condition of damaging all their smaller com- petitors and all the wage workers employed in the industryi CHANGE NOT A BENEFIT. This .point is very important, and it is de- sirable “to avoid any wiliful misynder- standirig. 1 am not now considering wHether or not, on_grounds totally unconnecte® with the trusts, it Would be well to-lowér-the duties on- various sehedules, either by direct legisia- tion or by legislation or treaties designed to secure as an offset reciprocal advantages theé nations with which we trade. My point is that changes in the tariff would have little appreciable effect' on the trusts save as they shared in the general harm or 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 wage-workers, as against a large corperation in the same business; on the con- trary, if it bore heavily on the corpara- tion it would ineyitably be felt still mors by that corporation’s weaker rivals, while any in- jurious result would of necessity be shared by both the employer and employed in the busi- ness concerned. The immediate introduction of substantial free trade in all articles manu- factured> by trusts would mot affect some of the- most powerful of our - tions in the least save h{ the damage done o the general business welfare of the country; others would undoubtedly be seriously affected, but _much less sa than their weaker rivals, whife the loss would be divided between the capitglists and the laborers: and after the years' of panic and distress had been lived through and some return to' prosperity had oc- curred, even' though all were on a lower plans of prosperity ithan before, the relative differ- ence between the trusts and their rivals would § remain as masked as ever. In other words, the trust or blg corporation would have suffered relatively to and in the aid of its foreign com- petitors; but its relative position toward its merican, competitors would pr Iy be im- proved; little would have hnfuhdon. toward cutting our or minimizing the evils in the trusts; nothing toward securing adequats con- trol and regu of the largs modern cor- porations. In other words,: the. questi regulatin the"trusts with & view 0 minimising Se Sao ishing the evils existent in them is se and apart from the question of tariff revision.
