mination of sensational charges made

tual slayers of Rosenthal were tried,
convicted, and sent to the electric
chair in the fall of 1912, and Becker
was also convicted and sentenced to
death. The court of appeals, however,
granted Becker a second trial in
which he was again convicted and
sentenced to die. Despite the re

and the efforts of his counsel to have
him freed the decision of the last

READING THE STEEL
BAROMETER
Throughout its existence of four
teen years, net earnings of the United
States Steel Corporation have never.
been so small as they were in the six
months including last fall and winter.
These earnings are now rapidly rising
to normal. They promise for the cur
rent quarter to equal the highest pre
vious quarterly record of $45,000,000.
I
i
It is thus arjrjarent that the Steel
Trust can "come back." 'Can it everj
do much better than that ? It can .
undoubtedly consolidate and hold this
position, as they say in the trench
warfare of Europe. Can it extend
that position in relation to the whole
steel industry of the country, whose
steel consumption is much greater
than in 1901 ? I
Perhaps it docs not want to under'
the Anti-Trust Law as now adminis-j
tered. Its most powerful argument
againsl the Government dissolution
suit has been that its proportion of
the whole industry is now less than
half, where before it had been much
more than half. I
i
Perhr.ps it cannot if it would. The
boasted "economies" of vast industrial
combinations have as a rule proved a
delusion and a snare. It is the small- j
er independent steel companies which
are now making most of the noise in '
the trade. I
But there is every evidence of busi-.
ness piling, up enough to tax the ca
pacity of them all. This in turn re-'l
fleets an activity affecting all lines of
industry. No surer barometer of trade
exists than steel. As it now reads,1
that barometer forecasts an immedi-!
ate era of exceptional prosperity.

ONE UROOD SOW PAYS $431
PROFIT
The Reidsville Review, in reporting
a farmers' meeting in Rockingham .
county, gives this item showing how
live stock pays:
"Mr. D. W. Johnson drove home ar
guments that have been made as to
the profitableness of live stock on the
farm. He gave the history of just
one brood sow that in five years has
netted him $431, and the remarkable
thing is that he still has his sow and
that she is right on the job with fair
promise of handing him another $60
or $75 during the late spring. He
told of the great possibility in the
Northwest, a country that flows in
milk and honey and money, and said
that after making a trip through the
dairy farming district of Illinois and
Wisconsin last winter it was mighty
hard for hm to make up his mind to
ever come to Rockingham. 'But I
know,' said he, 'that we can do better
here than the Wisconsin farmers have
done. We have a better climate, just
as good land, and I am going to have
more live stock on.my farm, more ma
nure for my soil, more money, I be
lieve, than I ever had before.' "
