PUTTING TRUST LEGISLATION
THROUGH.
Bvery newspaper Ims a pet opinion
of Its own. Even the New York
World, which ha* the strongest and
ablest editorial page In the country,
has made up its mind not to support
President Wilson in all of hlB stands,
possibly to convince Itself and its
readers that Its opinions know no in
lluence. The World wanted an ad
journment of congress and a "rest"
from legislation and expressed these
views guile forcibly, but the presi
dent. thinking differently, did not
take the kindly advice offered.
We think, with the president, that
the proposed trust legislation should
go through, If rest and adjustment
are to be expected. Not until liusi
m-ss knows what is coming is there
any possibility of calm. Agitation
and "acceleration" of public opinion
Is going to be pursued ruthlessly
until the trust legislation quest ion Is
finally settled The longer it Is
watted upon, the more certainly will
this campaign of calamity howling go
on and the more certainly will bust
iu.ua depression continue. The World
grants that "there Is something to he
said" Tor Mr. Wilson’s plan is lo
write this new legislation Into the
statute hooks as soon as possible In
order that all doubt aud uncertainty
may he removed, and also grants
that If the i resent crossfire of agi
tation is to continue it becomes the
lesser of two evils."
‘‘But," HHys the World, "the
trouble with the president's theo
ry Is that the doubt and uncer
tainty are not removed when
hastily drawn hills are passed by
both houses of congress and sign
ed by the executive. What do
these bills mean" What It their
relattou to specific acts and ape
ciflc practices? All that has to
be settled In the court of last
resort.
"Twenty years of litigation
were necessary to a final Inter
pretation of the Sherman law.
How many years if litigation will
he necessary ot the final Inter
pretation of this new legislation?
How long a time must elapse be
tween the day the president signs
the measure and the day the su
preme court says the last word
in regard to their application."
In the first, place, why conclude
that hastily drawn hills are going to
be passed? This legislation has
been long considered dud carefully
discussed. It Is in the hands oT men
who are well aware of their respon
sibilities and are In the broad glare
of public criticism. There Is every
Influence at work for deliberation
and care.
So far ns twenty years of litiga
tion over the Sherman anti trust law
are concerned. It is a little surpris
ing to find the World, which Is usual
ly so unblinded to the weaknesses ot
the fxnlted. to bo fishing out such an
argument for calling "Kings Kx" on
further reformation.
In the first place, the courts are
more conscious of criticism, more
stricken of conscience and less sub
jugated to the magnetic forces ot
wealth than they have been for
twenty years, but, even though, a r«v
lapse should occur and twenty yearh

THE HERO.
I"! wlnh T had lived In the times
when men did great things and went
lo battle. There were heroes in those
days," said Ned law ton.
"There are Just as many heroes
now." said his mother, with a smile,
“only they are not recognized' as such
by the majority of people ”
"Oh. of course, I know that Admiral
Dewey was a hero, and every
body does; but I mean that there are
not so many as In the days when there
were so many wars and Imliuns to
fight.
"Yes, there are.” Ills mother persist
ed. "nnii you cun be one If you wish."
Ned looked at his mother with sur
prise. "llow can I be u hero, mother?”
he asked.
"lty doing right when you are tempt
ed to do wrong. The man or woman
Who overcomes a real temptation does
a herole thing, and wins as great a
battle as the man who goes to war
with a regiment.”
Ned sat quietly thinking for a few
minutes, and then he asked: "If I had
not gone swimming the other day
when the boys teased tne to go, would
that have been a victory?”
"Yes,” replied Ills mother, "thnt
would have been a victory over temp-

you not to ko swimming without ask
tnw me."
"But yon do not set a title or med
als for things like that," wild Ned,
still not quite sure ho understood.
“You get tho title of being an up
right wan nnd the peace of your own
conscience," his mother replied, •“and
you have got to fight out the little
things that go to make up tho big
things in life first, then the rest will
follow us a matter of course."
Ned thought over what his mother
had said, hut it soon went out of his
mind as he heard the whistle of one
of his playmates outside.
Not long after this talk Ned was
playing ball on a vacant lot with some
of his friends. The lot was on a cor
ner, and the wind was blowing so hard
(list every one who came that way
had a hard time getting past.
An old lady with a basket filled with
vegetables and other things from the
market had her bonnet blown off her
head, and when she set her basket
upon the ground to get her ha* the
basket toppled over and out rolled the
Contents In hII directions.
The poor old lady could not run.
nnd away blew the bonnet out of her
reach, her hair flying all over her head
and into her eyes.
"oh. look at old granny!" called out
one of the boys.
•"Why don’t you run nnd catch ,lt""
called another, as tho bonnet again
escaped the old lady’s grasp.
"Oh, look at the basket: It Is blow
ing away, too," called; another, and
then a ahout of glee went up as the
old lady*a shawl blew over her head.
Nod had been a silent spectator and
his Impulse was to help the old lady,
hut he feared the lours of Ids play
mates and stood stlil.
Suddenly his mother words came to
him, "Dare to do right" Ned did not
hesitate any longer He ran to the old
lady and straightened her shawl, then
he ran after the bonnet that has blown
against a post
The hoys did not say anything at
first, but when New put the bonnet on

they shouted, “Oh. look at grannie's
little girl! Where are your curls, Ned

"You wait here,” he told her, leading
her to a sheltered doorway of a near
by house. Then he picked up her bas
ket and gathered the scattered grocer
ies and put them in the basket
"doing home with grandma?" rail
ed one of the boys.
"Yes, Neddie, be a good little boy,”
said another, “and carry the basket."
"You shut up,” called Ned, "or I’ll
punch you.”
"Oh, little girls don't fight," called
out Kred Smith, “you'll have to stay
in and sew if you are naughty.”
This last was too much for Ned He
put the basket on the ground and ran
into the lot, but the boys ran, too.
"You wait till I catch you, Fred
Smith." he called. “I'll show you
whether T am a girl or not."
Ned picked up the basket and went
to where the old lady was waiting. “I
will carry It home for you,” he said.
When Ned returned home he looked
for the hoys, but they were not In
sight, but that afternoon he snw Fred
Smith standing In front of a store,
and he lost no time In confronting
him.
"You called me a girl for helping
that old lady,” said Ned, “gnd I'm
going to fight you. Now get ready.”
Fred started to run, but some of
the other boys seeing him at that mo
ment, called out, “Coward!” and he
had to fnre the anrgy Ned.
What is the matter with your face?"
asked Ned's mother at the supper
table thnt night.
"Fred Smith scratched me," replied
Ned. hanging his head.
"Scratched you!” repeated his moth
er, "how in the world did that hap
pen?"
And so the story came cut. ‘T
couldn't let them call me a girl,” ex
plained Ned, when his mother eame
to his room that night and sat on his
bed talking over what had happened.
"Hut you were a hero," replied his
mother. "What did the words of those
hoys matter?”
"But mother, they did not think I
was then; they do now, though; they
know I am not afraid of Fred Smllh.

his hand over his heart, "when T was
helping the old lady, hut not here,”
and he touched his head, “until I had
punched Fred Smith, and now I feel
fine all over.”
His mother kissed him goodnight
and said: “You are my little hero for
daring to do right and help the old
lady, but I think the fighting was un
called for.”
"Mother never was a hoy or she
would understand," thought Ned. "I
Just had to punch Fred Smith that's
all ”

they had helped him pick his

“Who is he?" asked Jennie.
When Tom lost nls temper and had
gone out slamming the front door af
ter him. Jennie sat looking at the door
in utter amazement. She had never
seen Tom get angry before. She did
not think he ever could, because he
lmd always given In to her and had
tried to gratify her every wish. That
is, ns far as his limited pocket book
would allow.
As Jennie sat there wondering and
about ready to cry, the two women
acquaintances from upstairs stopped
in to see her on their way down town.
Jennie cheered up at once when they
came in. And when they asked her if
she didn't want to come along she
answered, "I sure do."
As she was getting dressed one of
her friends asked where Tom wap “Oh,
would make tho cherries soft and
they would not keep. He had
tried very hard to get them all
picked but although he got up
early a nd worked late he could
not pick them all.
The Gnomes knew he wanted
to sell all thta he could, and that
he hnd very little money, as It
had been a had year for every
thing. so they had helped him
and the Farmer was very grate

done much better and he had
more money. He was determin

feast of cherries. So he hung up
the sign ou the trees.
Tho fat Gnomes had gone by
in the morning and read the sign
and came back to tell the others
the good news, so thm night
they i tanned they would have
the feast. It was bright moon

trees picking and eating as fast
as they could. How good thev

When they had eaten all they
wanted, they picked two large
baskets to take home with them
for they knew the Farmer would
not care If they did. When they

On the way down town Jennie ask

they told her to the theatre. “I can't

we," said one of them, "but Its easy
to get tickets when you know how.”
After they arrived down town one
of the women went to telephone. As
she eame out of the booth she said.
“It's all right; he's going to leave
three tickets for us and we are to meet
him after the show; he couldn't get
