The Perkins Plan
I say to yon with deliberation
and emphasis that no man in llic
history of litis nation has ever
taken a position on tlx* trust
(ini'slioit so hostile to tin* wel_
t'are of the American people.
lie says in his platform and his
speeches that we ought not to try
to prevent monopolies, but we
should just control them. T re
mind you that for seven and one
half years he was president, and
he not only did not control the
trusts, but the trusts controlled'
him. T remind you that while he
was president the steel trust went
to him and, while a panic was on,
threatened another and terror
ized him into consenting to the
absorption of its largest rival.
Mr. Roosevelt stands for the
very doctrines that the trusts
have been demanding, viz: That
they shall be rid of the stale reg
ulation and relieved from the em
barrassment of legislative action.
Mr. Roosevelt wants lo centre the
power at Washington. After ad
mitting that lite trust is here T7T
slay, lie will allow it to go on.TfT
spread and grow, and he would
strike down the power of the
state to control it, and he would
take from congress and the
courts the power and put it in a
bureau lo be appointed by the
president.
I challenge you lo find any
where a program which has so
such a concentration, so much
of centralization, , so much of IJTe
magnifying of the power of the
chief executive of the nation.-W.

Making Policemen Useful

during the tourist season Venice
is sn erowded with visitors in var
ious garbs and garments from all!
parls of the country, that the in
tended relicr is in a measure aj
necessity.
While it may he conceded thai,
the leadership taken by that town
in the new movement is due
largely to the climate ami the,
roses, as well a.s to the sufTra

garettes and perhaps chewing to

will also know the lime of day.
The innovation is not lo be
costly. The Venice reporl says

man for the equipment. It, fa

Reforming The Calendar
The international project of
calendar reform is sensible ami
moderate. It does not under
take to extinguish all the anom
alies of the year and its divisions
at one breath. II merely attacks
the worst ones. If it is ever
sisting of 301 days divided into
four equal quarters, each con
taining three months. There
will be exactly thirteen weeks f*n
each quarter, which are equiva
lent to ninety-one days. The
last day of the quarter will always
fall on Sunday, while the first

The odd day of the ordinary
year will be New Year's, which
will be a sort of dies non, t<> bor
row the lawyers phrase. it is
as good as a non-existent day for
fr»r business purposes already and
Ili<> new calendar v 'll simply rce
ogni/.e I he existing slate of af
fairs. Once in four years there
will be an extra day thrown in to
keep the calendar consistent with
the revolutions °r the earth a
round I he sun and I he current
rule of dropping three.leap years
in every four centuries will also
be retained. This device keeps
the calendar fairly correct,
though there is bound to be trou
ble in the long run, no matter
how accurately it is adjusted.
The earth has a bad habit of
completing a revolution in an in
commensurable number of days,
so that in spile of all that astron
omers can do an error in the cal
endar is always accumulating.
The inaccuracy is trilling for
any one year, but in the process
of centuries il amounts to a gooj
deal.
The Katalln Development Com
pany's new well is now flowing
n'nel.v barrels of oil daily. The
llrst petroleum refined by the
company wju shipped lo Cordova
last week. If is said the oil is
of very good <pmlty. The well
recently .mink is giving out gas
which is being used to illuminatej
the company's hnu$eN and works.
II it thought Ihe volume of gas is
sufficient to illuminate the en
tire lown, besides furnishing fuel
for heating and cooking.
Representatives of the Oug
genheims are looking over the Al
aska-Kbner quart/, mine at Ju
