VERY DEMOCRATIC IS YK PRINCE ' During Service in Navy He Will Ra I IIpa Anv Oth.
er Midshipman. BY HERBERT TEMPLE. CSpecial Cable from the International Nfwa tSfrvlrn.i LONDON, Sept. 2. No young man In England Is being brought up in a more democratic manner or more forcibly taught to put aside hie personal desires to attendto his duties than is the young Prince of Wales, and when he shortly starts out on a cruise on board the "Hindustan" he 'a 111 be in every way treated like any ordinary midshipman. He has no cabin of his own and when he got on board he had to dump his kit in the gurroo, with those of the other middies. This kit Includes his professional books, his private reading, his personal stationery and the hundred and one articles which a htalthy boy of his age accumulates. He will be under ship's discipline, will take his turn in the dog watch, steer his boat, land with dispatches, attend the navigating lieutenant, and go through the whole rminri nf lnfllniHnn Ilia hnnra nf work will be even longer than those of the other middies, for as Prince of Wales, he will have to attend to important letters dealing with the management of his estates, scores of documents will have to be read and signed toy him personally. , When, therefore, the ship's mails reach the "Hindustan" he will receive a message from the commander of the vessel. Captain Campbell, who has been appointed his governor, and will repair to the quarters of his superior, who will bring out the strong box In Which his affqlrs are kept under lock and key. There will be a consultation, the replies will be written, either by the Prince or by the Governor, nnd will be dropped into the mail-bag or taken ashore to the telegraph of flee, as the case maybe. Much of the correspondence will be carried on in London, without reaching the Prince at all. But a good deal cannot be disposed of In this way, and the King desires that his son should feel the burden of responsibility in all reasons ble ways. In addition to whatever income- the Prince of Wales receives privately, he Is now the proud earner of one shilling and nlnepence a day which is his pay as a midshipman. Even this magnificent sum, however, is not all his own to keep, as three-pence a day la deducted from each young officer for the naval Instructor, who directs their studies. Of all ranks, midshipmen are the only ones whose pay has never - been ! raised; and. Indeed, it Is rather less (nowadays than when the rank was first instituted in the middle of the seventeenth century.". The Prince has quickly shaken down rinto the ways of a modern man-of-war (and bids fair to become very popular rwith his mess-mates. , After the most eventful session of J inore than half a century, Parliament lit resting and both sides are preparing for the continuation of the great light which began when the House of l Lords rejected Lloyd George's first Buget. The supporters of the governj ment are in the happiest mood for the ppath of progress is clear'and the opposition la a body divided against itself. Iltsatlsfled with its .present leaders n both Houses and unable to aeree Don their future Droeram. Never was fhere greater confusion in a defeated army. In the government camD everybody 1a rejoicing at the splendid achlevettnents of liberalism and one opinion 'prevails, that the party is now entering a greater and wider era. There Is mo doubt but that Home Rule for IreSand will be passed by the present 'arliament to be followed rapidly by Some Rule for Scotland and Wales, j The very Idea of these constitutional f changes being prepared by the govern'ment has thrown the Tories Into a Estate bordering rn panic and the most jwtrenuous efforts are being made by ;the leaders to' unite their battered front by a country-wide agitation 'against freedom of domestic government In these countries, but a strong Home Rule organization headed by rWinaton Churchill is ready to frustrate their efforts. The struggle will (begin within a few weeks, but the result cannot be doubtful. The Home LRule idea will conquer and then the government will'take up the fight to abolish Plural Voting. When this has been done the whole democratic program for the improvement of the conditions of the working classes will be developed in the fullness of Its possibilities and the question of Land. Mousing, Licensing and Education will jbe taken up. the government fulfilling Imost democratic monarchy in the world. ' Realising that a better and more commercial training enables German competitors all over the world to drive .Englishmen to the wall, leading commercial men in England and the colonies are now agitating for the foundation of a great British Commercial -University, havitg for years insisted upon the need for better business draining in England schools and colleges. The education authorities have so far taken a few tentative steps, but It , It complained that Great Britain still lags far behind ether countries in this matter, and it is maintained that if of the world, England must have commercial colleges where young men can be trained for business life, as they are forthe Navy and Army. An important beginning was made at a special meeting of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce at T-k..Kll . V . V J w .... sw vim iu uiutr Utljr nuen llf3 AUr tralasian Chamber of Commerce of London moved the resolution:. "That In the opinion of this associa-
tlon it is desirable that steps should be taken with the object of founding a commercial university in this country, and that a committee should be el
ected to inquire into and report upon the question generally A prominent member of the London Chamber of Commerce, whom I approached on tho question yesterday, said: "England Is badly in need of a commercial university. , "As matters stand at present, if a merchant wants to give his son a sound business education, he cannot do so without actually taking the lad Into his office. We want colleges where young men could learn all about banking, marine insurance, export trades, or any kind of business, and if we do not get them soon other nations will outstrip us in the struggle for the world's commerce. At present the Gormon business training is far superior to ours and even Servla, Bulgaria and Hungaria have better conAiercial schools. "It is often suggested that the young Englishman of today is indifferent about his work, and more interested in sport and music halls than in business. But I know from experience that this is not so. The attendance at the evening classes in the London County Council schools (which classes, by the way, are doing excellent work) show what a demand there Is for knowledge of business. And I can give you another proof of this hunger for commercial information. Some time, ago this Chamber of Commerce organized a series of lectures upon different branches of business, each course being delivered by an acknowledged authority upon a particular subject. We had 1600 students at these lectures; 400 of them attended those upon marine insurance, and 98 per cent, of the students completed the course for which they entered. That does not look like Indifference, does it? "Let me repeat that, in my opinion, the nation badly needs a commercial university which should be supported by the State. It would be difficult to find the right sort of professors, for men of actual business experience would be wanted. The ordinary tutor would be useless. But if we are to maintain our commercial supremacy that and every other difflcujty in the way of establishing such a university must be overcome." UNEXPECTED COMPANY.

SINCLAIR IS AT SUMMER RESORT (National News Association) BILOXI, Miss., Sept. 2. The large summer colony here was thrown into a flutter today when it became known that one of the comeliest of the recent arrivals here, is no other than Mrs. Upton Sinclair, wife of the novelist, whose rather unusual views on "essential , monogamists" and "soul mates" have attracted wide atten tion. Mrs. Sinclair came here from New LYork and announced her intention of spending some time on the gulf. She refused to discuss her relations with her husband or poet Kemp, whom her husband has named in his suit for divorce. So far she has taken no part in the usual summer activities but shows no spirit of aloofness. ' Cir n.ai.r co Coverley.

A TRUST CAMPAIGN TO BE UNDERTAKEN U. S. Officials and Inquiry Committees Prepare for Next Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2. Comprehensive preparations are making for the anti-trust legislative campaign in congress next winter. The commissioner of corporations soon will issue two additional reports upon the steel industry of the nation. These will complete an investigation which has extended over six years. The complete report of the commissioner of labor into steel mill conditions will be published soon by the government printing office. The Stanley committee is inquiring into every angle of the business of the steel corporation. Finally, the department of justice is prepared to initiate proceedings for the dissolution of the steel corporation unless it shall reorganize in compliance with the decision of the Supreme court in the Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases; but it looks now as if no action would be taken by the department until the Stanley committee has completed its inquiry. Inquiry Develops Material. The purpose of the Stanley committee is primarily to make capital for use in the next political campaign, but no one denies that it has developed a great deal of material which will be valuable to the department of justice in any prosecution it may initiate and-j to congress in its consideration of amendments to the anti-trust law. The senate committee on interstate commerce will hold hearings in the fall in connection with the proposed legislation, calling upon a number of prominent men to testify. Finally, there will be available for the use of congress the report of the commission created by iaw to Investigate the issuance of stocks and bonds of railroad corporations. Its conclusions doubtless will apply to the other corporations engaged in interstate business. Thus there will be ample information for consideration when congress reconvenes In December. The two legislative issues of the next session will be the tariff and the strengthening of the anti-trust law. These will be discussed with the greatest care and clearness by the president in his annual message. President May Urge Penalty. So far as the tariff is concerned, Mr. Taft already has announced he will recommend the revision of the wool, cotton, iron and steel, and leather schedules of tho Aldrich law. But, his recommendations as to the anti-trust law are not known precisely. That he will advocate the upholding of the law cannot be questioned, and to make it more effective he is likely to urge a change making the punishment for violation penal instead of by fine or imprisonment. Congress is in a temper, however, for drastic legislation for the suppression of trusts or for the establishment of an economic policy which shall go to the root of the corporation question. The majority in both houses is disposed to regard the tariff and the antitrust campaigns as having direct relation to each other; the tariff as the' "mother of trusts" and the, corporations as criminal offspring. Both will be charged in congress and in the next campaign as responsible for the high cost of living. Federal Regulation Issue. Involved in this important legislation is the federal regulation of corporations doing an interstate business. Almost two years ago, Attorney General Wickersham framed a bill, which the president submitted to congress, contemplating the granting of federal licenses to such corporations. It was not pressed by the administration because of the. desire of Mr. Taft to await the decision of the Supreme court in the Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases. Now that the court has clearly drawn the distinction between "reasonable" and "unreasonable" trusts, it will be possible for the administration to so modify the bill as to make Stop at the
it more satisfactory 4n dealing with this important feature! of national life. Unless the administration. bill be radically changed, it will not be enacted. The progressive Republicans and the Democrats do not believe there can be any such thing as a reasonable" trust. In any measure passed they will want a declaration that all trusts, whether "reasonable br "unreasonable," are unlawful. They will want every person connected with the trust liable to imprisonment for violation of the law. Oil and Tobacco Action Vital. If the reorganization of the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust effects independence of competition and it becomes apparent that monopoly in these products no longer exists then congress may be inclined to go slow. If, on the other hand, no real dissolution occurs, further impetus will be given to the movement to amend the anti-trust law. Bearing upon the federal incorporation legislation will be the facts contained in the forthcoming reports of Commissioner of Corporations Smith. He already has submitted a statement dealing with the organization, investment, profits, and position in the steel industry of .the United States -.Steel corporation. His next report will cover cost of production, which necessarily will include the wages paid to labor and the final report with prices, which will show the extent of the combination made by manufacturers for the advantageous sale of their goods to consumers. Commissioner Smith declares the coordination and integration made possible by the combination of properties In the steel corporation under a single control undoubtedly has fended to reduce costs either through economies or through the necessity of paying profits to others.

ASSOCIATION PREPARES FOR COMBAT (National News Association) CINCINNATI, Sept. 2. Following the sweeping rejection of the National Baseball Commission of the demands of the American association it was reported here today that the latter association is angling .for a site for a ball park in this city. Humbolt park, only a few blocks away from League park of the National League, is being negotiated for. The owner of this park, who has been on an extended absence from Cincin nati is known to be hurrying here at top speed, and. while president Chivington, of the American association would not admit that he is contemplating the establishment of a ball club in this city, neither would he deny that he is trying to obtain Humboldt park. f. -rnt. r,,wtMNSMUI

SEX PROBLEM WAS" TOPIC FDR PIATT Interesting Lecture at Chautauqua Kellogg-Haines Concert Pleased.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The ever popular Kellogg-Haines Singing party appeared twice yesterday, in a short prelude in the after, noon and in an elaborate program for the e vening which included operatic excerpts. ' The personnel of the company, has not been changed save in the contralto, since the former sang here two years ago. the quartet being made up of Mr. John Eichenberger, tenor; Mr. W. A. Goldberg, baritone; Miss Lotta Fahlen, soprano; and Miss Alpha Montague, contralto, W. J. Breach, being the accompanist. In the afternoon the piece de resistance was "The Chinese Love Song," from a recent well known musical comedy success, in costume, and the singing of "The Rosary," as an encore to an operatic number. A responsive audience of over three thousand people heard them in the evening, the program being introduced with a special arrangement of "The Bohemian Girl," given in costume and with scenic accessories, and considering the lack of mise en scene, given with surprising realism, all of the company displaying histrionic talents of a pronounced order, and taking their roles with dramatic effectiveness. The solo numbers In "The Bohemian Girl," were the familiar "I Dreamed I Dwelt in Marble Halls," by Miss Fahlen, who possesses a remarkably clear, flexible lyric soprano which admirably lent itself to the character of the song; "Heart Bowed Down," by Mr. Goldberg, whose high baritone is of the most agreeable quality; a contralto solo by Miss Montague, who has a rich, melodious contralto voice of unusual range; and two songs by Mr. Eichenberger, "Then You'll Remember Me," and "The Fair Land of Poland," being peculiarly adapted to presentation by a tenor voice, Mr. Eichenberger possessing that rarity, a lyric tenor which retains its freshness. The second part of the program, from "Martha," had for its one solo, "The Last Rose of Summer," sung by Miss Fahlen with charm and poetic expression. Mr. Breach delighted his audience, as upon his previous appearance, with several musical monologues, introduced by "The Soul of the Old Pi-

ancV giving two encoreB in response. The "company will appear again this1 evening and tomorrow. ; 'An Excellent Lecture. , "We cannot abandon ouroung to the social jungle, said Byron C. Piatt in an address before the Chautauqua yesterday afternoon on "American Morals," Mr. Piatt's lecture being one of the most important, from the standpoint of the treatment of a purely social question that has been made at this or any other session of the Richmond organization. Mr. Piatt called a spade a spade. He stated that it was useless to ignore the fact that the sex problem was the greatest one which vexed society and not in its more degraded aspects but in the marital and parental relations. Ignorance of the laws of life on the part of the young, as well as lamentably existent among their seniors, was. the speaker stated, one of the primal causes of the beginning of moral degradation, and that this ignorance was the result of a false standard of alleged modesty, or, rather a mistaken attitude toward what should be the most sacred of all individual human endeavor, the preservation of the integrity of the physical body, was the opinion of Mr. Piatt, One Chance for Good Name. "There is only one chance in time and eternity for a white name," said
j Mr. Piatt, who went on to say that the sound sense and pure wisdom of the parents should be directed toward the consumation of this end in every child, and that eternal vigilance was necessary on account of "the laws of heredity grinding on day after day." Mr. Piatt deplored what he termed "premature courtship," freely permitted by the average parents at an age when the mating instinct, which is blind, was uppermost, and pointed out that danger attended isolation of a boy and girl at this period. "At all hazards." said Mr. Piatt, "save them from a past." Mr. Piatt went on to say that as a people we put the stigma upon birth the most wonderful phase of life, and yet proclaim death, physically loathsome in its result. The advent of a child should be looked upon as a joyful event instead of being regarded as something to be ashamed of. "Why," said Mr. Piatt, "a baby is not a subject of polite conversation until it is a month old." Mr. Byron castigated modern society in its lax attitude toward mar- ' REST AND HEALTH TO K8THEI AXD CHILD. Mas.

riage, statins that "to abandon monof gamy would result in moral .horror." That society could only be preserved from a lapse to savagery by the r cognition that tho human being must be reproduced by the one man and the one woman under normal conditions and this could only be accomplished through an insistence upon a previous state of personal chastity. That women were largely to blame for the fact of the existence of a double standard of morality was the statement by Mr. Piatt and when women recognized no difference between as severe a moral record in men as the latter demanded of them, then would a state of affairs have arrived from whence society could make progress toward perfection. v
