New Jersey has been In a, a breeding ground for trusts. Its laws have been deliberately Li:Ju :!hI doctored so as to invite incoi-poration under them of r. V ur.\ initeresis operating in every part of the country. It is . i;o’- W ii^-on’s State which has won a shabby notoriety by , ibi.v eiureu'ing these freebooters of commerce, giving them ‘ and sending the piratical craft fr.rth to prey upon the und^"- the flag of New Jersey. ■ :-ong ttie most notorious may be mentioned— i ;i ‘ Siandard Oil Company of New Jersey $98,000,000 of stocky fo ^a^anc.v o’/ the Supreme Court of the United States of flagrant vioiauufis ot the law. The shoe machinery trust, $38,000,000, the heiriousness of whose practices Mr. Wilson may learn from one of his chief supporters, Louis D. Brandleis. , , , » The glucose trust, $88,000,000, some officers of which are also of ficers of the oil trust. ' " . , . i The sugar trust, $90,000,000, convicted of cheating the united States government. , , , i The powder trust, $61,000,000,000, under prosecution by the re^ ml authorjities, and significantly incorporated in New Jersey »y interests which saw there better opportunities than they could find even in their property, the State of Delaware. „ The tobacco trust, $100,0(K),000, found guilty by the United Sta- fss Supreme Court of criminal acts. The distillery trust, $48,000,CK)0, . ' . Not to carry iteration too far, we shall summarize the situation bv citing the fact that the laws of New Jersey, now administered by Governor Wilson have created during the last few years ,7,900 trusts and combinations, with a total authorized capitelization of nearly seven billion dollars. -Fast and numerous," indeed, has b^en the production of his State. Governor Wilson will not raise the objection that this scandalous and menacing condition is outside the bounds of his official pro vince. He himself has barred such a plea. He hiaiself officially and formally assumed the obligation of meeting tlie emergency not only the evil, but his duty to combat it, and pled,4ed the authorit:r 01 his office to that cause. The greater part of .his inaugural ad dress on January 17, 1911, consisted of an ex;)03;tion of the public wrongs due to New Jersey's tnist-stimulatuig laws and to his (ianiand that prompt measures be taken to e:‘a ii;ii!;e the abU5es, Among other things he said: ■‘We are much too free with grants of charcers to corporalicn !n New Jersey. A corporation exists only oy license of iaw, and the law is responsible for what it creates. It can never rightb authorize any kind of fraud or imposition. The la w ca-inot give its license to things of that kind. It thereby aathei;t!C,i.e.i what it ought of right to forbid. ‘1 would urge, thereby, the imperative obligation sve are under t> effect such changes in the law of the Statj as will henceLortii effectually prevent the abuse oi‘ che privile.w of incorporatiOi- which has in recent years brough'c mj much discredit upon oui State.” Governor Wilson recognized his “Imperative obiligitioa” c > invoke the power of the Stace, not only a> rrfg^rds aew trusts but the^ol^ones; for, specifing tne kind of changes he demanded, he “And such scrutiny and regulation ought not to be confined io corporations seeking charters. They ought also to be extended to corporrtions already operating under the license and authority of the State. For the right to undertake such regulation is susceptible or easy justific-ation.” There was a great deal more to his statement than wehave quot* fed ail of it adrnirable, almost Rooseveltian in energy. But the mere presentation of the case exhausted his zeal, even his interest. As the year 1911 passed the resou.nding call of duty fell on ears grevv steadiiy duller. Not a paragraph; not a sientence, on ^^st eviis appeared in Governor Wilson’s first annual message, and ’^eithe/’ bofore time nor since has any further recommendation on Jfie .vaijjeet come from him, nor has any bill what>oever aming at tne eniorcement of his stirring demands been presented in the iMature or outUned by the Executive. ' 'ii * i.iv 15, four months after the Governor had committed him- ^ • to ■1,4:hting trust evils under States’ rights the Supreme Court Liiited States found New Jersey’s premier trust guilty of • crirnes. It was of th.e Standard Oil Company of New Jer- '■■■'the decree held. J 'io ids and dealings established by the proof operated to de- tJ'e potentiality of completion. The control which resulted ' f'o.nibination or conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation '■ tne rir&t section of the act, but.also an attempt to monpolize, a monf.'polization bringing about a perennial violation of the f coruj section. * * * The acts and dealings necessarily invloved ; I '-, inrent to drive others from the field and to exclude them from ‘OU’ right to trade, and thus accomplish the mastery which was end in view.” “iv/o weeks later the same court convicted another combination Tby the laws of Governor Wilson’s State. It was of the iwacco Trust that the formal ruling said: ^ vvK u of tfi® combination is replete with the doing of acts wnich it was the obvious purpose of the statute to forbid, demon strative of the existence of a purpose to accquiredominion and con- f ^ tobacco trade by methods devised in order to monpolize we trade by driving competitors out of business, which were ruth lessly carried out upon the assumption that to -^ork upon the fears Hhi ^ i^Pon the cupidity of competitors would make success pos- decree the combination to be a restraint of trade daa an attempt to monopolize and aSmono|K>lization, within the &:st and second sgtftioii3S‘of the act. ^ ^ . Here, as a result of prosectioris Instituted oy Theodore Roosevelt w^re two peculiarly odious trusts certified to Governor Wilson as proven and convictied violations.of the law, as gulity of that kind of ^'Imposition” and “abuse of the privilege of incoroporation” w^ich he had pledged himself to eradicate. He was not called upon to wndertake long and costly litigation ; that had been done for him upibn the initiative of Roosevelt. * Governor Wilson fears the “extension of federal power” over such combinations. The Stat^; he holds have the rights and duty to 4eal with them. Yet as Governor of a State, with two of the most d^noi'trions combinations dielivered to Ms authdrityj indicated prdKf cuted and convicted by the natibh’s highefst tribunal, he did n9t;^fta fin^r punish the criminal combines or to protect tHe public.' Was it his duty to act? He proclaimed his sense of the -‘Impera tive obligationi’^ Had he the power tt> act? Beyond question or doubt. The laws of New Jersey, bad as they are, explicitly provide for the most drastic and effective action in such casie. These trusts depend upon the government of New Jersey for their powers, for their very life and both may be cut o€f>>r proved defiance of law. If the Oil Trust and the Tobacco Trut hlive been guilty of Inbndpoiization or have worked unwholesome mergers or stock issues—and they haVe been convicted of these crimes^their, charters can be readily amended, altered or repealed. Governor ■ Wilson had at his command Section 4 of the Corporation Arrt:, as ! follows; ' , i “The charter of every corporation or any supplement thereto or amendinent thereof, shall be siibject to alteration, sus^nsiye and appeal ia the discretion of the Legislature, and the Legislature may at pleasure dissolve any corporation.” ’ Moreover there is a criminal statute in New Jersey w^hich put into Governor Wilsori’s grasp a remedy xvhicli he has repealed, stated would be the most effective that could he devised. Chapter 257 of the laws of 1895 provides: “Any periion or persons who shall organize or incorporate, or procure to he organized or incorporated, any corporation or bod,V corporate under the laws of this State, with intent thereby to furth er, promote or conduct any fraudulent or unlawful object, shall be guilty oi a iViisdemeanor. “Any person or persons who, bein,g officers, director, managers or emr>!oyes of any corporation or body incoporated under the laws of the State, shall willfully use, operate or cont;rol said corporation or bodv corDorate for the furtherance or promotion of any fraudu lent or unlawful object, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. - - The fate of two trusts was in Governor Wilson’s hands. They were guilry of flagrant crimes. They had been coniicted of “con- spiracv in restraint of trade,” of “attempt to monopolize” and of “monopiizition.” their offenses being characterized in the act as misdemeanv^rs, punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. He was committed to regulation by the State which created these trusts, under the laws he was sworn to administer^ And he ha ready to be invoked statues which would destroy theevilSpower by canceling the trusts’ license to prey. Governor Wilson met his duty by doing exactly nothing at all. The trusts legally condemned through prosecution begun by Theo dore Roosevelt have had not the slightest interference from Wood- g row Wilson. They still onerate from behind the shelter of the " laws which created them, and in defiance of the criminal statutes which Governor Wilson is supposed to enforce.

WHITSETT, NORTH CAROMNA Serious Kidney Disease Treated „ . - By an Old - Fasliioned Doctor s. B. HARTMAN, M. D. - In 1860 I was practicing Kiedlcine In Mlllersville, Pennsylvania, a thriving farming' comnmnity. A prominent eitizen of Ibat locality called at my eflBce one day In a very feeble condi tion. So much so he had to he asssist- ed in fighting from his wagon. I fouhd on questioning him that he bad been afflicted for about two years. He had consulted various doctors, among them a specialist from Philad cl- phia. They pronounced his disease to be Bright's disease ot the Mdneys. He was gradually failing’ in strength, los ing flesh rapidly, and altogether pre sented a very pitiable spectacle, the rentDant of a once strong and happy man. I had been treating' a neighbor of hla successfully. This neighbor had highly recommended me and thus It Was he had come to me. He told me ths.t the doctons had practically Kiven up his case aa hope less and he felt free to consult any other pbjralctan. I hesitated to take tb* eaisor as I felt sore I could not do aasytliing more than the other phy> •tetaiw don*. I told him sa FSt he insisted upoB lixjr i>rMcriblng. I waa ft Jettenoa Medio^ Col lege at Philadelphia, and as one of the consulting physicians bad been a pro fessor in that college It seemed to me quite unlikely that I wotild be able to do any more ,than had been dme, but I prescribed what seemed to be the best thing- under the circumstances. He went away and iii a week he re turned saying he was no better, that he was stin losing- ground. He judged; that he had taken the samo medicine before. No doubt he had. But he wished me to prescribe again. I did so. This went on for about two months, the patient f&iling all the time, and I was becoming thoroughly discouraged with the case. One day the patient said to mo, “Doctor, why don’t you give me thg' medicine you gave my neighbor? We all thought he would die, but your medicine cured him. Thiii was why I came to you. "Why not give me the- same medicine you gave him?’’ “But,’' I said, “your neighbor did not have kidney disease. It wai a bowel eomplalnt that I prescribed for in his caseJ I remember I gave him tlie •Neutralizing Mixture that I maJie a great deal of use of in bowel dis-i eases." “Well, I want some of the s?:me medicine you gave him. It worked wonders with him and I believe It will "vrtth me." "But," 1 said, "this Is not a medi cine for kidney disease.” “Well, since you seem to be like the rest of the doctors, you cannot help me, why not try the medicine that helped my neighbor?" After some hesitation I concluded to give him a bottle of it, Jn ten days he returned, He at once began to be rate me in no complimentary -woi-ds, saying; “You knew veiy well this medlcfaie would help me, Tou held it back merely to get more fees for treating me. lYom the first the medlctne has helped me and 1 ha-ve made rapid im provement If I co«ld have had this medicine a year ago X should have been saved a great deal^ of expense and loss of time.” Z replied that I srlad th« medl-. da* had help«fd tain. I wui amuewhat eonfiued hy hla hraaqm manner and looili speech. I gave him another hot- fl» of »Mdlotn& DM not see hlni«siiin for shout thn* wmIm. Onoe zaon h« called at ihy ofEce for another hottl# of medicine, which was his last call. A month or so afterwards a neighbor of his called and got a bottle of ths same medicine, saying that iny patient was practic^iy a Well matfi attend^ to his duties aboQt his faniii : j I iia:d given film the Hckitncii^ji Mixture which wa^ a remtedy that I had used hiefore only for bo^el dis eases. The same remiei^ that heis Since been sold under th^ iijftanie' of Penma. I could not quite T^derstandv io^/it was that Peruiia Snould opemte so beneficially in such i^eemihgly different diseases. I had not yet grasped ths correct philosophy o;f disease., X did not then clearly Oomprehehd that catarrh may affect the kidneys M well as the bowels. Nothlnisr of that s^ was taught in the books in those days. It took me years before I: clearly com^ prehended that catarrh a diiaease liable €o attack ahy organ of the ^dy. Catarrh is, a disease of the mucous membranea. The mucous; iniembra^ line every organ, duct and cavity in; the .body., Thus it k cataixh may i^etr tie anywhere where there is a ihucibus membrane. ■ V'• ; i , V Peruna is my remedy for all theso case^ 1 insist upon it, however, that Fenma is not a cure-all; I.,use’ for just one disease, catarrh. But as catarrh is liable to affect so many dif ferent places, disturb so many difTer- ent functions, deranige/so many difl^er- ent organs, it does seem to m^y peo ple as if I regarded Peruna as a cure-’ all. The above narrative is slmpfly one of the many cases in my early pi^tice that, brought me tp comprehend the wonderful efficacy of Peruiia ih such a variety of diseases. Tlie kidneys may be affected by otfi^r diseasets «ian catarrl^ but the averse case of bldi ney dlsfease is catarrh of the ®dney& All eases of .Bright's disease begin with catajTh of the kidneys. This bein? tpi«, and it ^sb belriif true that Petruiiii.lB ;a .catarrh Hined^'it follows that, many^ c^es of . kidney diseili^'frou]l4 ^3 ^^^ted by Peruna.
