More About the Trust Problem. ; Federal incorporation nml Fed eral control for interstate corpo rations are receiving nttention now from many sources. It is a plan that was proposed n number of years nun, but until now has for the most part been classified aqioitft the idle, if not dangerous, experiments of gov ernment that, arc always being suggested. The recent trust decisions of the supreme court have pretty generally convinced the people that the anti-trust laws now on the statute books constitute no solution of the trust problem. A remedy must be looked for elsewhere, and the Federal su pervision proposal has therefore >een renewed. We have already noted the statement of Judge E. H. Gary, chief executive official of the United State, Steel corporation wi(h the ; R0VwnmPn t slingshots that his company would welcome; Tll „ •„ 4t: before, is admirable, but its good qualities must of course 'depend on whether by its terms and its execution it: is made a protection for the people or a shield for predatory combinations, . A Groundless Grouch. James A. Patten, the market plunger and frenzied financier whose operations have incurred the displeasure of Uncle Sam, re cently sailed for Europe for a little rest from the worries of the market-place and the irrita tions of Federal prosecution; His worries' were still on' him when he sailed, for he was pos sessed of none of that fresh, an-, ticipatory, going-away feeling that the beginning of a voyage inspires in ordinary mortals. As he sat on the deck of the steamer, the gloom sprites danced about him and everything looked blue in the direction of his own native shore. A reporter discovered him in the midst of his subdued and ab stracted condition and > requested ' few remarks on the state of the Union. The reporter expected the usual brilliant observations to the ef fect that “our marvelous nat ural resources are as yet practi cally untouched, and we will sur prise not .only ourselves, hut all the nations of the world, with our growth in the next ten years.” Mr. Patten said nothing of the kind, hut intimated that the state of the Union was particularly fierce, and went on to explain the why of it more particularly, as follows: “It seems to, me that, the United States government is prosecuting any one who has any thing over fifteen dr twenty cents. About the only, person Ivho'iSt safe theRo days is the limn who is earning about $1’.” The reporter pressed his in quiries no further, for immediate ly there flashed into his mind tho diagnosis of the trouble—it was a plain grouch that Mr. Pnttcu was taking to Europe. It is unprofitable to go into the merits of the ease of Unole Sam vs. Jimmie Patten, for who is yet able to determine whether Jimmio is the injured innocent and the government tlicv/wslefnctnr or whether the Federal laws have been infracted and Jimmie the malefactor. However that may lie, it is cer tain that Mr. Patten’s grouch is grounded in error, for lie insists that the government’s activity against certain individuals end organizations suspected of vio lating the Sherman law against the restraint of trade is solely because these individuals and or ganizations are wealthy,, that wealth itaelf is something to lie whacked; and whacked hard, THE BUSINESS DOCTOR tBy ROE FULKERSON "First move you want to make I, to select some trademark and put It Into the handa of a competent patent attorney and have It registered," said the Business Doctor. "This would he the first move before putting any article of merchandise on the market. This looks' to me like a preparation that would prove popular, and you are liable to be. very much flat tered If, as we are told, Imitation Is the sincerest form of flattery. "Your name on It Is no protection to you./ Many . a. man has taken up the manufacture of some article of com merce and branded It with his name, only to find, .after his hard fight.for popularity, that some business pirate Is putting out the same thing under the same name, and he Is helpless to stop It. - Your nnmo Is Tcdd. and you can put this preparation out as Todd’s Polish nnd work for ton years creating a de mand for It. and any other man by tha name of Todd may come on the market with Todd's Polish and reap the benefit of your advertising, and you. have no recourse at law. * "Oheof the largest manufacturers of ; cocoa In the. world had this experience. After It years of advertising, he found another company making nnd mar keting cocoa under hla name, and It Is charged that It had hired a man of exactly his name to act as president and-make their brand legal: but the orlglnal'manufscturer had long ago adopted aa, a trademark a little Quaker lady with a tea tray, on which eat a cup of cocoa, and all their nds now carry the caution for consumers to look for this trademark and thus, avoid the substitute. He would have been Infinitely better off today, however, If he had' advertised hla product under the name ‘Quaker Lady’ than under his own name. “Today thecourte of Michigan are trying a big suit over a breakfast food on the same proposition. "The battle, very appropriately. Is located at Battle.Creek, and one man- ufacturer of toasted corn flakes Is entering suit against another man of the same name who has Just begun. to market toasted corn flakes In the same town. The suit, however. Is based on the combination of all three words, as t ie complainant fully understands that the defendant has a right'to use his name on his goods. “The assertion Is made that the use of the same name, the same word, 'toasted,' and the same town, Battle Creek, ■ constitutes an attempt to de fraud the public and deprive the complainant of the' benefits of his adver tising. : V "While, without doubt, the efiuse Is’ Just, It Is an, open question whether the law will support It, . ■'With a trademark, however, the law Is different, for numerous cases are on record where the actual trademarked name was not Used, but simply Iniltated,' and yet the courts have restrained the Imitator. '"I-wanta’ biscuit Is perhaps the best Illustration. The.court held this to be an Infringement on ’U-needa' and forbade Ita use. .

Cldorge Ade used to write advertisements, and In a speech before the Cleveland Ad club he spoke of how hard It was to write an ad on a sub ject of which you knew nothing. 1 "For Inslnnce,” he said, "1 ujed to write ads for a patent medicine concern that was pushing a cure for tho tobacco habit. It was my task to write about the cUrse of being addicted to the use of deadly nicotine, and how easily the habit eould be overcome by using the remedy we were placing on the market. • The stuff had a large sale, because when I was writing the ads I was sitting smoking contentedly a cigarette or a pipe In a room thick with tobacco smoke, and. of course, I knew what I was writing about and could write forcibly on the subject.” such supervision, even to the ex. tent of the government’s fixing the price of the corporation’s products. Commenting on Judge Gary’s statement. The Outlook snys: "It is clear from Mr. Gary’s testimony that his experience as the executive-head of one of the greatest industrial organizations in the world has convinced him that a law merely punishing cor porations and their managers for practices tending to monopoly is unjust alike to the public and to the corporations—unjust to the corporations because it does S ot enable them to know what ind of combination is legitimate, and unjust to the public because it does not, as a matter of fact, irevent combinations that are il- egitimate. After this it can no longer be intelligently said that there is anything chimerical or impractical in the proposition that the bureau of corporations in the Federal government should have its hands on the great indus trial corporations and mnke regu lations concerning the price, the output and the quality of their products. ’' Frank B. Kellogg, the great trust prosecutqr, insists that the plan is a good one. He foresees that by reason of the incorpo ration feature of it the govern ment could require such restric tions and stipulations in the charters of corporations as it sees (It, to the extent even of having the corporations reasonably com pensate employees for injuries received while in their employ ment. It is argued that such employ ees’ compensation is a reform that must come in this country sooner or later, and that when it does it should be under Federal supervision. The plan, as we have observed I The government in this respect .but reflects.tho sentiment of the people—they have no objection to wealth, for they are all trying to get wealthy themselves, hut they do object to wealth illegally gained, to wealth piled up by those who operated with ruthless disregard of the rules of the game and in whose conduct the element of fair piny 1ms been lacking. This is what displeases the people, and rightly so. If has been established in the highest court in the land that two of such combinations hnve been lawbreakers of the worst kind, and the present congres sional investigations indicate that there are still others. The people gre not after wealthy men because of their wealth, but- are after such of them as havo been guilty of wrongdoing. It is to he hoped-Mr. Patten’s vacation will be of great benefit to him and will bring him hack with n (dearer vision of conditions in his 'own. country. When seaheen strike, ship* tje at rhor with apehors unstruck. That Day i-rriralt voucher is causing Secretary. Knox more trouble than all his extensive negotiations for worV peace. J • PROGRESS AND THE LAW OF INERTIA There Is a common tendency to cling to old ways and methods. Every In novation has to light for Its life, and every good thing has been condemned In Its day nnd generation. Error once set in motion conllnuce Indefinitely, unless blocked by a strong er force, nnd old ways will always re main unless some one Invents a new way and then lives and dies for Jt. And the reason men oppose progress la not that they hate progress, but that they lov( Inertia. Even as great a man as John Ruskln foresaw that ths railroads would ruin England by driving the stages out of business and killing the demand for horsee, thus ruining the farmer. Thomas Jefferson tells ua. In bis au tobiography, of a neighbor of hla who "was agin"’ the public schools be cause "when every one could read and writs no one would work." Bishop Berkeley thanked God there was not a. printing press In Virginia, because printing presses printed most ly lleiL and their business was to de ceive the people. In the time of Mosart, musicians were classed with stablemen, scullions and cooks. They ate below stairs, and their business was simply to amuse the great man who hired them and hie assembled guests. The word business was first used tn the time of Chaucer to express con tempt for people who were useful. The word wns then spelled "busyness.” In those days the big rewards were given to men who devoted their lives to conspicuous waste and conspicuous leisure. He who destroyed most was king by divine right. And everybody took-his word for It. Even yet we And that If you would go In "good society" you would better not shoulder a trunk, sift aahea, sweep the eldcwnlk or carry a hoe on your shout- der. To light cities by gas would set them afire. Electricity was dangerous, and to put up wires was to Invite the lightning to come Into our houses and kill us all dyad. But a few years ago any man who advertised In the newspapers was looked upon with suspicion, and even Along with our poultry shows, automo bile exhibits, and other Industrial dem onstrations an occasional health exhibit should be held, and nothing along this line can be more Important than a public demonstration of processes and measures for'conserving child life and child health. '•The child welfare exhibits." says The Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, "thst have been held tn a number of cities constitute an Important agency. The exhibit recently held In New York city wee e pronounced euccess, being at tended by a large number of people. *- exhibit la being held In Chicago (May 2S> and great Ipterest Is being taken to make It a euccess by both the municipal health department and the various public welfare agencies.

True virtue always stands without, and vainly yearns and toils, while wickedness in office shouts, and passes round the spoils. One rule should govern our fair land—a rule that’s bound to win; all office holders should be canned, to let some new ones in. All people usefully employed at forge, in mill or shop, should know that labor's null and void—man’s duty is to yawp. The farmer should forsake his plow, the harness man his straps; the blacksmith should get busy now, and look around for snaps. Why should the carpenter perform, when we have homes enough; why should producers round us swarm, when statesmen are the stuff! Why should we put up ice or hay, or deal in clothes or' meat, when politicians point the way that leads to Easy-st.f” There came a burst of thunder sound; the boy—oh, where was he!

IMHIUHIIHIHHIHHHMHIHI AROUND AND ABOUT GEORGIA yet we have associations of profes sional men who stamp with their dis approval any Individual among them who advertises. Such an one Is.called an ''Irregular.' But within .live .ycarq time great changes have, occurred. In thjs matter of advertising. In all the prominent cities there ore clubs devoted to the study of advertis ing as a science. The subject la taught In schools and colleges, and publicity Is regarded no'W aa eminently right, beautiful and nec essary. Advertising Is stating who you are, where you are. and what you have to offer the world In the way of commod ity or service. , - And the only man who should not advertise Is the one who has nothing to offer, nnd he Is a dead one—whether he knows It or not. Yes, Terese, It Is a fact. If we look back thru history we will find that every good nnd beautiful thing has at one time or another been under the ben. and assailed asoan evil. And the argument eeems to be this. If you think a thing Is right, never mind what the many say. stick to It. Work for It, live for It, die for It— this way Immortality lies! “Lines are drawn on reciprocity.' these lines were used to bind and gag eoine long-winded senators. It might help the cause a great deal. Lowering the tariff on raw sugar will no doubt result In souring the unusually sweet.disposition of the su gar trust It Is announced that General Reyes, the former popular Idol of Mexico, will not be a candidate at the next election against Msdero, the successful revolu tionist general. Another danger of dis cord and disruption In Mexico has been averted.

If this trust doesn't tfdce cere It will surely cut Its way Into tho unreasonable class. /. LOOK PLEASANT, 1 PLEASE! Taking No Risks. From the Pittsburg Chronlele-Telegrahp. Champ Clark, speaker of the House of Representatives, say* that his party didn't wish to take any risks In the last election. "Apparently,” continued the Democratic leader, ‘ they wanted things done up ns thoroughly as did one of the two men who were to be hanged for horse steal ing. "The place nelectcd was the middle of a trestle bridge spanning a river. The rope was not securely tied on the flrst victim to be dropped and the knot slipped; the man fell Into the river and Immediately swant for the shore.

Mrs. Professor—"But. my dear, you didn’t take your umbrella with you. You left It at home." The Impossible. From The h’t. Mule Globe-Democrat. Andrew Carnegie, at a reeent dinner In New York, said of a certain-labor trouble: "It Is silly of employers to pretend. In - these troubles, that they ere always In the right.

The Boy Scouts manifested a good public spirit last Wednesday when they went In a body thru several of the streets In West Griffin, picking up loose papers and tin cans which disfigured that part of the city.

VIADUCT Editor The Georgian: As my name has been published ns one who asked the police committee of council not to reissue licenses for the three saloons west of the Mltchell-st. viaduct. I ask permission to give our reasons for our request. The saloons, to whh-h the west aid of Atlanta Is now objecting, arc right at the entrance of the viaduct, which Is the only possible means by which we can reach the city. Two of the- are negro saloons and one Is a whit saloon. The two negro saloons are hl the opposite corners of Elliott and Mltchell-sts. and the white saloon at 10S West Mitchell: These saloons all sell a beer which intoxicates: It is Impossible for us to go or come from town without coming In contact with the crowd of drinking negroes who usually hang around these places. These saloons may be no . worse than other negro saloons, but ovbry one knows that with such places on each corner and a negro pool room with one and a negrn restaurant back of the other, there Is at times quite a crowd.' This territory la not a negro settle ment, for tho these saloons are on El llott-st., the negro reatauraht keeper la the only negrq who lives on that, street from 'Mltcfielt to Walker s»5(h. nml there are no negroes living for two blocks on the north aide of Elllott-st. Why should we be subjected to hav ing to pass these low dives whenev we go to town, after being compelled to take the street rather than pass the crowd on the sidewalk? _There Is not a man on the commute or a saloon keeper who would submit t being bottled up as we of the west side are by bottled up by these saloonli. The objection made by Block’s candy factory employees ought to have sat isfied the committee. There were nt least twenty ladles and about the same number of men from that institution objecting to the saloons because they were compelled to elboW their way thru the half-drunken negroes. They did not object ’to saloons In general, but they did object to having them located where they Interfere with saf> - ly. health and 'happiness. These av the very terms by which we object and we have determined qo longer to suffer from this nuisance. Unless we get relief at the hands of the city we will carry our plea to the courts. We are a unit as to our plans nnd have fully de. termlned that we will no longer submit to this Imposition. There Is mu an other such condition In the whale city and our lives are simply made miser able by being exposed to constant danger with no adequate protection.

I am net a member of this body, but I Indorsi every word of their action. A. C. WARD. Atlanta, Ga., June 16, 1911. (Copy.) To the Police Committee, City of At lanta. Ga.: The Temple Baptist church, thru Its pastor, Dr. J. M. Brittain, earnestly pe titions you to refuse the applications for renewal of licenses for the three saloons west of the Mltchell-st. viaduct. These saloons are located on the north west end southwest corners of Elliott and Mltchell-sts. end at 106 West Mitchell. These ealooni have become a menace to our health and Interfere with our comfort and happiness. The viaduct Is the only way In which we can reach the dtv and It ts often blocked by drinking negroes who hant about these saloons. The drink sold at these aatoom causes drunkenness. The saloon on the northwest corner Is a negro saloon, operated by a white man. Often It Is necessary to get off the sidewalk to avoid the crowd. At one time rerently the sidewalk was filthy for several hours, owing to the vomiting of a drunken negro. The •tench and sight thereof was slckenlni In the extreme. The aatoon on the southwest corner Is also a negro saloon, operated by ■ white man. From this saloon a negro employee Is sent out at almost every hour of the day and late Into the nlgm with cans of beer which he delivers to private houses. After the people drlns up this beer thus delivered their bois terous conduct Is both disturbing ghnoylng. The saloon at 109 West Mltchell-st has been thrust upon us after Elllott- st. was made the saloon limit and has no right to exist. We have no adequate police protec tlon and our llvee are made mlseraoi because of these saloons. We therefore petition you to refuse to grant further license for them. .... Dorse bv order of the church, this lt-h day of June. 1911. J. M. BRITTAIN. Pastor S. D. W. CARRAWAY, Church Clerk.
