Is Now Over. %r sm ^ •• i<r?: ' H Washington, Jan, 20. -- President "Wilson delivered the following mes­ sage today before & joint session of the two houses of congress: "Gentlemen of the congress: 'In my report 'On the State of the Union,' which I had the privilege of reading to you on the 1st of Decem­ ber last, 1 ventured to reserve for discussion at a later date the subject of additional legislation regarding the very difficult and intricate matter of trusts and monopolies. The time now seems opportune to turn to that great question; not only because the cur­ rency legislation, which absorbed your attention and the attention of the country in December, is now disposed of, but also because opinion appears to be clearing about us with singular rapidity in this other great field of action. In the matter of the currency it cleared suddenly and very happily after the much-debated act was passed; in respect to the monopolies which have multiplied about us and in regard to the various means by which they have been organized and main­ tained, it seems to be coming to a clear and all but universal agreement in anticipation of our action, as if by the way of preparation, making the jig.; vway easier to see and easier to set out upon with confidence and without •£$&¥>: confusion of counsel. * X f Business of Interpretation. *^*®^8^a^on h®8 it8 atmosphere like everything else and the atmosphere of accommodation and mutual under­ standing which we now breathe with BO much refreshment is matter of sin­ cere congratulation. It ought to make our task very much less <**pcult and embarrassing than it would have been had we been obliged to continue to act amidst the atmosphere of suspi­ cion and antagonism which * has so long made it impossible to approach such questions with dispassionate fair­ ness. Constructive legislation, when successful, is always the embodiment of convincing experience and of the mature public opinion which finally springs out of that experience. Leg­ islation is a business of interpretation, not of origination; and it is now plain what the opinion Is to which we must give effect in this matter. It is not re­ cent or hasty opinion. It springs out of the experience of a whole genera­ tion. It has clarified itself by long contest, and those who for a long time battled with it and sought to change it are no*? frankly and honorably yielding to it and seeking to conform their actions to It "The great businessmen who organ­ ised and financed monopoly and those who administered it in actual every­ day transactions have year after year, until now, either denied its existence or Justified It aB necessary for the ef­ fective maintenance and development ot the vast business processes of the country In the modern circumstances of trade and manufacture and finance; .but all the while opinion has made head against them. The average businessman is convinced that the ways of liberty are also, the ways of peace and the ways of success as well; and at last the masters of busi­ ness on the great scale have begun to yield their preference and purpose, perhaps their judgment also, in honor­ able surrender. : Will Not Hamper. "What we are purposing to do, there­ fore, is happily not to hamper or in­ terfere with business as enlightened business men prefer to do it, or in any sense to put it under the ban. The antagonism between business and gov- "V , ernment is over. We are now about to give expression to the best business Judgment of America, to what we know to be the business conscience and honor of the land. The govern ment and business men are ready to meet each other half way in a common effort to square business methods with tboth public opinion and law. The best v informed men of the business world condemn the methods and processes and consequences of monopoly as we condemn them; and the instinctive judgment of the vast majority of busi­ ness men everywhere goes with them. We shall now be their spokesman. That is the strength of our position andT the sure prophecy of what will en­ sue when our Treasonable work is don§ "When serious contest ends, when men unite in opinion and purpose, those who are to change their ways of business, joining with those who ask tor the change, it is possible to effect It in the way in which prudent and thoughtful and patriotic men would wish to bee it brought about, with as tsx, as slight, as easy and simple busi­ ness resadjustments as possible in the circumstances, nothing essential dis­ turbed, nothing torn up by the roots, no parts rent asunder which t:. left in wholesome combination. For­ tunately, no measures of sweeping or novel change are necessary. It will be understood that our object is not to unsfettle" business or anywhere serious­ ly to break its established courses athwart. On the contrary, we desire the laws we are now about to pass to be the bulwarks and safeguards of in­ dustry against the forces that have disturbed it What we have to do can be done in a new spirit in thoughtful moderation, without revolution of an untoward kind. Private Monopoly intolerable "We are all agreed that private monopoly is Indefensible and intoler­ able, and our program is founded upop that conviction. It will be a compre­ hensive but not a radical or unaccept­ able program, and these are its items, the changes which opinion deliberately sanctions and for which business waits. "It awaits with acquiesence in the first place for laws which will ef­ fectually prohibit and prevent such interlockings of the personnel of the directorates of great corporations-- banks and railroads, industrial, com­ mercial and public service bodies--as in effect result in making those who borrow and those who lend practical­ ly one and the same, those who sell and those who buy but the same per­ sons trading with one another under different names and in different com­ binations, and those whose affect to compete, in fact partners and maBters of some whole field of business. Suf­ ficient time should be allowed, of course, in which to effect the®e changes of organisation without incon­ venience or confusion. "Such a prohibition will work much more than a mere negative good by correcting the serious evils which have arisen because, for example, the men who have been the directing spirits of the great investment banks have usurped the place which belongs to Independent industrial management working in its behoof. It will bring new men, new energies, a new spirit of initiative, new blood into the man­ agement of our great business enter­ prises. It will open the field of in­ dustrial development and origination to scores of men who have been obliged to serve when their abilities entitled them to direct. It will im­ mensely hearten the young men com­ ing on and win greatly enrich the business activities of the whole Coun­ try. Harm and Injustice Done. "In the second place, business men, as well aB those who direct public af­ fairs now recognize, and recognize with painful clearness, the great harm and injustice which has been done to many, if not all, of the great railroad systems of the country by the way in which they have been financed and their own distinctive interests Subordi­ nated to the interests of the men who financed them and of other busi­ ness enterprises which those men wished to promote. "The country is reacjy therefore to accept and accept with relief as well as approval, a law which will confer upon the interstate commerce com­ mission the power to superintend and regulate the financial operations by which the railroadB are henceforth to be supplied with the money they need for their proper development to meet the rapidly growing requirements of the country for increased and im­ proved facilities of transportation. We cannot postpone action in this matter without leaving the railroads exposed to many serious handicaps and haz­ ards; and the prosperity of the rail­ roads and the prosperity of the coun­ try are inseparably connected. Upon thiB question those who are chiefly responsible for the actual manage­ ment and operation of the railroads have spoken very plainly and very earnestly, with a purpose we ought to be quick to accept it. It will be one step and a very important one, toward the necessary separation bf the business of production from the business' of transportation. "The business of the country awaits also, has long awaited and has suf-, fered because it could not obtain fur­ ther and more explicit legislative defi­ nition of the policy and meaning of the existing anti-trust laws. Nothing hampers business like uncertainty. Nothing daunts or discourages it like the necessity to take chances, to run the risk of falling under the condem­ nation of the law before it can. make sure just what the law is. / Definition Now PoealbtaL "Surely we are sufficiently familiar with the actual processes and meth­ ods of monopoly and of the many hurtful restra^ata of trade to make definition possible, at any rate up to the limita of What experience has dis­ closed. These practices, being now abundantly disclosed, can be explic­ itly and item. by item, forbidden by statute in such terms as will prac­ tically eliminate uncertainty, the law itself and the penalty being made equally plain. "And the business men of the country desire something more thBi> that the menace of legal process in these matters be made explicit and in­ telligible. They desire the advice, the definite guidance and information which can be supplied by an admin­ istrative body, an interstate trade commission. "The opinion of the country would instantly approve of such a commis­ sion. It would not wish to see it em­ powered to make terms with monop­ oly or in any sort to assume control of business, as if the government made itself responsible. It demands such a commission only as an indiB- pensible instrument of information and publicity, as a clearing house for the facts by which both the public mind and the managers of great busi­ ness undertakings should be guided, and as an instrumentality for justice to business where the process­ es of the courts or the natural forces of correction outside the courts are inadequate Jto adjust the remedy to the wrong in a way that will meet all the equities and circumstances of the case. "Producing industries, for example, which have passed the point up to which combination may be consistent with the public interest and the free­ dom of trade, cannot always be dis­ sected into their component units readily as railroad companies or Sim* ilar organizations can be. Their dis­ solution by ordinary legal process may oftentimes involve financial conse­ quences likely to overwhelm the se­ curity market and bring upon it break­ down and confusion. There ought to be an administrative commission ca­ pable of directing and shaping such corrective processes, not only in aid of the courts but also by indepndent suggestion, if necessary. -Make Punishment Certain. . "Inasmuch as our object and the spirit of our action in these mattqri is to meet business half way in its processes ' of self-correction and dis­ turb its legitimate course as littte as possible, we ought to see to it and the judgment of practical and sagacious men of affaire everywhere would ap­ plaud us if we did see to it that pen­ alties and punishments should fall, not upon business itself, 'to its confu­ sion and interruption, but upon the individuals who use the instrumental­ ities of business to do things which public policy and sound business prac­ tice condemn. Every act of business is done at the command or upon the initiative of some ascertainable per­ son or group of persons. These should be held individually responsible and the punishment should fall upon them, not upon the business organization of which they make illegal use. It should be one of the main objects of our leg­ islation to divest such persons of their corporate cloak and deal with them as with those who do not rep­ resent their corporations, but merely by deliberate intention break the law. Business men the country through would, I am sure, applaud us if we were to take effectual steps to see that the officers and directors of great bodies were prevented from bringing them and the business of the country into disrepute and danger. "Other questions remain which will need very thoughtful and practical treatment. Enterprises, in these mod­ ern days of great individual fortunes, are oftentimes interlocked, not by being under the control of thW same directors, but by the fact that the greater part of their corporate stock is owned by a single person or group of persons who are in some way in­ timately related in interest. Holding Companies. "We are agreed, I take it, that hold­ ing companies should be prohibited, but what of the controlling private ownership of individuals or actually cooperative groups of individuals? Shall the private owners of capital stock be suffered to he themselves in effect holding companies? We do not wish, I suppose, to forbid the pur­ chase of stocks by any person who pleases to buy them in such quanti­ ties as he can afford, or .in any way arbitrarily to limit the sale of stocks to bonafide purchasers. Shall we re­ quire the owners of stock, when their voting power in several companies which ought to be independent of one another would constitute actual con­ trol, to ni&kg selection in which of them they will exercise their right to vote? This question I venture for your consideration. "There is another matter in which imperative considerations of justice and fair play suggests thoughtful remedial action. Not only do many of the combinations effected or sought to be effected In the Industrial world work an injustice upon the public in general; they also directly and seri­ ously injure the individuals who are put out bf business in one fair way or another by the many dislodging and exterminating forces of combination. I hope that we shall agree in giving private Individuals who claim to have been injured by these processes the right to found their suits for redress upon the facts and judgments proved and entered in suits by the govern­ ment where the government has upon its own initiative sued the combina­ tions complained of and won Its suit, and that the Btatute of limitations shall be suffered to run against such litigants only from the date of the conclusion of the government's action. Individual Justice. "It is not fair that the private liti­ gant should be obliged to set up and establish again the facts which the government has proved. He cannot afford, he has not the power to make use of such processes of Inquiry as the government has command of. Thus shall Individual justice be done while the processes of business are rectified and squared with the general conscience. "I have laid the case before you, no doubt as it lies in your own jriind, as it lies in the thought of the' country. What must every candid man say of the suggestions I have laid before you, of the plain obligations of which I have reminded you? That these are new things for which the country is not prepared? No; but that they are old things now familiar, and must of course be undertaken if we are to square our laws with the thought and desire of the country. Until these things are done, conscientious busi­ nessmen the country over will be un­ satisfied. They are in these things our mentors and colleagues. We are now about to write the additional arti­ cles of our constitution of peace, the peace that is honor and freedom and prosperity." * ' , JU08E BEN LINDSEY AND HiS , BRIDE •• Forehanded. ,%•Mrs. Exe--Do you ever go through r ̂ your husband's pockets mornings be­ fore he's up?

OCCURS DURING MANEUVERS Efforts Made to Bring Vessel to Sur­ face Before Oxygen 8upply on Board Is Exhausted and Crew Suf­ focated. Plymouth, Jan. 20.--An all-day search by 4 fleet of torpedo boats, to which 'were attached cables to swe9p the bottom of Whitsand bay, failed to locate the sunken British submarine, A-7 on Sunday. Although hope of any of the crew being alive was long ago given up--six hours being the maxi­ mum time they could breathe after the ship satik--the search will be re­ sumed. Plymouth, Englaa*^ Jan. 19.--Des­ perate efforts were made on Friday to rescue Lieuteant Wei man ot the Brit­ ish navy and a crew of 11 men from submarine "A 7" which sank during maneuvers in Whltsaul bay. Whether the men are dead or alive had not been established on Friday, but navy officials here expressed the opinion that all had perished. The exact spot where the little ves­ sel sank has not been definitely fixed. The "A 7," in company with the "A and "A 9," made a plunge about while engaged in maneuvers. Its sis­ ter ships came to the surface at the end of the maneuvers, but nothing has been seen of the "A 7" since it opened its valves and dived. When the officers of the other ves­ sels realized that their Bister boat was In distress they sent out signals for aid. Rescue boats were immediately rushed to the vicinity where the "A 7" went down. They threw out grap­ pling irons and dragged the bay until darkness Set in, but their efforts were fruitless. The "A 7" was in charge of Lieut. Gilbert M. Welman, who had aB an aid another officer. A number of the sea­ men aboard were making their first trip in a submarine. The cause of the aocldent is not known. Whether the submarine's ma­ chinery became disabled or whether it tore a hole in Itself on some sunken object is not known. The "A 7" is the sixth submarine of class "A" which has come to grief, and the question is raised whether the government ought not to abandon this type of boat In favor of the more modern vessel? of the "C" and "D" classes. The "A 7" -?rao built In 1904. Of the class "A" submarines which hare caused the British government losses in men through accident were the "A 1," wrecked in 1904, on board, which 12 men were drowned; the "A 5" in 1906, with a loss of four lives; the "A 8" in 1908, when 15 men per* lshed, and the "A 8" in 1912, when 11 officers and seamen went to their doom.

He served five terme in congress from the Egypt (111.) district Reed, Lane and Kuntz, the three prisoners, stormed the guard, shoot­ ing the three prison officials and Judge Thomas, who was In the penitentiary consulting a client. Th« prisoners then rushed to the penitentiary office and at the point of revolvers forced F. C.

A bullet from one of the prison­ ers' guns entered the leg of Miss Fos­ ter. She fainted in the buggy. An alarm was sounded and guards on horseback were sent in pursuit of the fugitives. In the meantime the sheriff of Pitts-; burg county had been notified -and asked to quickly summon a posee of gunmen. Before the prisoners had gone more than a half mile from the penitentiary, however, they were over­ taken by the penitentiary guards. A battle took place on the highway in which all three of the convicts were shot to death. Gov. Lee Cruce was notified of the outbreak over long dis­ tance by Warden Dick. The firstr intimation prison bfficials had that anything was' wrong was when the men grabbed the two guards and marched them in front of them into the penitentiary office. Deputy Warden Oatee waB in the office talk­ ing with Judge Thomas of Muskogee. As the men entered they pointed their pistols at Oates. Oates jumped to his feet and began to lire, but his aim was poor, because he was afraid of hitting the guards, who were serving as breastworks for the prisoners. At the second shot from Oates' pistol the men shot Oates and the others to death. While they were fleeing in the buggy, pursued by the mounted posse, Miss Foster fell out of the vehicle. Then the guards closed in and ehot the prisoners to death. 'A T No girl really loves * nuua without ^ feeling an Irresistible impulse to bdes dm around.
