It was sént to a future President of the United States by a young naval officer, Oliver Hazard Perry by name. { The Northwest had been selzed by the British, Their Indian allies under Tecumseh and other chiefs, had spread havoc through Michigas.. But these outnages, instead of intimidating the Western pioneers, turned them into madmen. They enlisted by the hundred. And with frightful loss they swept the savages out of Michigan.

Lord Acton has @efined the great conflict of all ages as “the conflict between reason and custom.” The generation passing off stands by custom, the ration coming on by reason. Half of mankind is always absorbed ‘what has been, wrapped up in some “grand old party” whose glories are past glories. The oldest record of writing contains a Babylonian’s it against the degeneracy of his age, an assertion that former were better times, As Bagehot says, “One of the' greatest pains to’human nature is the pain of a new idea.” ; {But society needs new ideas, and when there are not enough veritable funerals it organizes political funerals to fill the lack, re- tiring men and parties that face backward and advancing leaders able to make terms with the new thing. Rigid social systems are bound for the scrap-heap. The future is with the man, the party, the mation elastic enough to change method to meet changing condi- ‘ Meanwhile, Gey, W. H.

It was a contest on whose qesuit hung the fate of the whole Northwest. hs The Americans sailed to the attack; while the British fleet waited of battle, to repel the assault.

On the other hand, the momexgpf | our sea victories of the previous year was almost wiped out by our naneid®- feats of 1813. Capt. Lawrence in the U. 8. frigate Chesapeake sailed out of Boe- |ton Harbor against the British frigate Shannon, whose captain had sent avehaje lenge defying any ships of the Shannon's size to come out of the harbor egd fight a naval duel. . som On June 1, 1813, the Chesapeake and Shannon met thirty miles offshems, There was a furious fifteen-minute battle at close quarters.

Cockburn had that our armies were planning a Capadian invasion and he was trying to them away from Canada to defend our coasts. The American brig, Argus, was captured in August by the Pelica mander Porter, in the Essex, was forced to surrender after a hard fight off" paraiso to two British warships. (Porter's youngest officer during the was a@ mischievous twelve-year-old boy named David Farragut, of whom whole world was one day to hear.) bs Except for Perry's Lake Erie victory we had lost heavily in our 193 ni campaigns. And by land we had scarcely redeemed the losses of 1812. Thy increasing defeat, ended the second year of the war.

It may prove to be a maxim of credit and sound Rest policy in corporation regulation. The thing that President Taft stands pat upon is the anti-trust law. As clarified by the Fed- Supreme Court, the law meang that “any combination in restraint trade with the purpose of controlling prices and stifling competi- tion” is prohibited. The law has never had a chance because business men thought it could not bp enforced. Now, says Mr. Taft, “the ee lew can be and is being enforced,” and many businees men want it _ Is not advantage of position with the stand-patter? He at east has a chart of conduct, laid down with the national concur- Tence a score of years ago and brought up to date by the Supreme Court. The men who want the law repealed have changed their @oand and their flag within the year. At first they said “the rule ~ | — ef reason” wae too favorable to Big Business; let Congress commit the folly of decreeing that even “reasonable restraint of trade” should net be. Now the same men want the law repealed, alleging, in the words of the Progressive Republican conference in Chicago, that “the present condition of uncertainty in business is intolerable” and Geclering that “industiial corporations should by affirmative legal enactment be given definite rules of conduct.” Not all the wisdom of the ages may be behind Mr. Taft when he PIAL AAABIBASSABASSABABAADARAAB BIAS The Jars Take aFall Outof the Bogy “Consis ency.” SAAAAIASISIIAAIISPIAAAAAIIISAIAAAA AS pleasant joy ride unless they have kl a child.
