MKRGING ON LAND AH D SEA
John Pierpont Morgan has achiev
ed a reputation as a combiner never
before attempted and consequently
never before attained by any man in
this or in any other country. We
have had business combinations on
what were considered colossal pro
portions before he took a hand in
the business by merging and con
solidating these combinations into
still larger ones, reaching proportions
that surpassed the anticipations ana
dreams of the boldest of combiners
that had figured in that field before
he entered it. Of course it goes
without saying that he must have an
extraordinary talent for that kind of
work and extraordinary perseverance
and indomitable will to succeed as
he has in the face of the obstacles
and the powerful opposition that he
sometimes has to contend against
As far as known, he haa never failed
in carrying out any scheme that he
entered upon. To a large extent he
has bv his methods revolutionized
the modes of doing business, and es
tablished great triumvirates to rule
the industrial domain, and trans
portation on land and sea.
Ambitions as he is and wide-
sweemnfir as his schemes are. he will
not be permitted to realize his am
bition without evoking opposition
which will attempt combinations to
dispute supremacy with the combi
nations he has created, so that we
may be Baid to have entered upon a
new era, an era of mighty combi
nations to take the place of indi
vidual and of ordinary corporate
effort, and that means a fight of
capital . against capital, in which
some of these mighty combinations
will come to grief and be wrecked.
The trouble is that men of Morgan's
mould, with his marvellous powers
for organizing and directing, are
few and far between, the exception
instead of the rule, and as it requir
ed extraordinary ability of a special
kind to call these combinations into
existence, so it would require ex
traordinary ability of a special kind
to keep them alive, without the for
mative brain and the directing hand
that shaped them and put them to
gether, they may fall to pieces
as rapidly as they came together.
This is what may be expected some
time and perhaps within a short
time. This world is not so large,
but it is too large, and the conflict
ing interests between men so great
that no 8 mall number of men will
be Ion? permitted to dominate it in
their own interest.
But the study of Morgan's
achievements is an interesting one,
whatever the result may ultimately
be, for there is not only boldness in
them, but harmonious method. His
combinations are what might be
called a chain, every one of them
linked to another and all working to
the same end industrial and com
mercial supremacy.
Beginning with the half dozen or
more steel trusts, each acting sepa
rately and independently of the
othersjand in the aggregate repre
senting many millions of dollars, he
welded them into one, a colossal
combine, representing the enormous
capital of $1,100,000,000 (real and
watered), the biggest thing of that
kind the world has ever seen. That
was a success.
But steel makers must have iron
and coal, and therefore he reached
out, combined the iron mines on
Lake Superior, and made sure of a
practically unlimited supply of iron
for his steel combine.
Iron and steel makers must have
coal, and therefore he reached out,
combined and got control of lead
ing coal mines, so that his steel
combine couli depend upon a sup
ply of coal "
Steel, iron and coal must have re
liable transportation, and therefore
he reached out, combined and got
control of the leading railroad lines
and kept at this until he could prac
tically control transportation . from
ocean to ocean.
To complete the chain reliable
ocean transportation became a ne
cessity, and with the same energy
and perseverance that marked his
former achievements he crossed the
ocean and began the seemingly dif
ficult task of combining the princi
pal trans-Atlantic lines of x steamers
and getting control of them, which
he has succeeded in doing, thus
completing the system which he
"began when he merged the steel
trusts.
But Mr. Morgan and his asso
ciates are not going to have undis
puted possession of the fields which
they have entered, for it is but a ques
tion of time when they will have op
position, and formidable opposition,
in all of them. There are other men
who know how to make steel, and
they will form combinations and
make it in competition with Mor
gan steel company. That will
force it to put priceB down, and
then the profits will not be so large
nor me wybbuubuus in it so capti
vating. The large profits are now
the inducements that hold the
plants together.; Capitalists who
have put their millions into rail
roads are not going to permit the
Morgan combine to control traffic,
and there will be opposition and
competition in that, which will cut
down profits and make invest
ments in their securities less
attractive. Men who have invested
millions in ocean transportation are
not going to let the Morgan merger
have undisputed domain over the
seas, and there will be opposition
and competition in that, competi
tion which will materially reduce
the profits anticipated, and make in
vestments in these shipping lines
less attractive.
Already it is said that a movement
is on foot in Europe to merge some
of the great lines, lines that will, if
the deal be made, have more ton
nage than the Morgan combine, and
will be backed by ample capital.
It has been said that Morgan's
combinations are the beginning of a
battle for the commercial supremacy
of the world American commercial
supremacy but it is not. It is sim
ply a movement to get control of the
respective industries involved and to
make money for those identified
with them. That is all. The flag
or national supremacy does no figure
in it with him or with them. But
as it is alleged to be the beginning
of the movement to establish Amer
ican commercial world supremacy it
may lead to a commercial war, in
which this country will be confronted
by combinations of commercial rivals
on the other side. jphis would make
it very interesting fr Messrs. Mor
gan and Company and for this coun
try, too.
THEY DON'T WANT IT.
Sixto Lopez has an article in the
June number of Guntons Maga
zine in which he forcibly and elo
quently discusses the question, "Do
the Filipinos Desire American
Rule?" He contends that they do
not and gives good reasons in sup
port of his contention.
It has been asserted by Governor-
General Taft and others that the
sentiment of the Filipinos is for
American rule and that the opposi
tion to it is by an insignificant mi
nority, the leaders of which have
schemes that can be best promoted
by obstructing American rule.
In answer to this Mr. Lopez says
that the expressions in favor of
American rule come from time
serving and office seeking Filipinos
who have an eye more to their indi
vidual fortunes than to the good of
their country or the welfare of their
countrymen, and that every one of
them expects to be personally re
warded for the assistance he gives
in fastening American rule upon his
people, which is probably true. The
article of Mr, Lopez concludes with
the following strong and feeling ap
peal to the justice and generosity of
the American people:
But why should all this be necessary
when the end can be attained by oth
er and more humane means, and with
out crushing a laudable aspiration
for national liberty which America, of
all nations, ought, on the contrary, to
encourage f A promise of ultimate in
dependence, or even an intimation
that such is the policy of the adminis
tration, would remove not only all
cause for a continuance of armed con
flict; bat all the sorrow of heart and
bitterness of spirit on the part of the
weaker contestant Under such a
promise the Filipinos would willingly
yield everything that America, is now
demanding or can in ngnteousness de
mand, and there would be addition al
mutual advantages. The Filipinos
would learn of everything that is good
in the institutions of America in its
religion, its morality, its wisdom and
its law; whilst America would have a
wider market for Its products, a new
field for commercial enterprise, and a
basis of trade and military ooerations
in the far east There would also be
the rebirth of a republic in that Quar
ter of the globe, where liberty has
been sought by only .one small strug
gling people, and where despotism has
been the nightmare of millions of the
human race.
There is nothing unreasonable in
this, nothing in it that this govern
ment could not 'grant without any
surrender of prestige or honor. And
there is nothing in it either to which
this government is not virtually if
not literally pledged by the resolu
tions adopted . at the beginning of
the war with Spain and on the rati
fication of the treaty by which Spain
surrendered her sovereignity over
the Philippines.
PERNICIOUS ACTIVITY.
Mr. Thurber, president of the
Export Association, added gaiety to
the proceedings when he testified
before the Senate committee, Wed
nesday, that between 18,000 and
49.000 had been raid out of the
Cuban treasury by direction of Gov
ernor General Wood, to promote
reciprocity with Cuba.
General Wood has all along been
a most active and zealous advocate
of reciprocity, so much so that he
has authorized the publication of
interviews, and has written letters
which have subjected him to criti
cism bv the opponents of reci
procity and to the charge of perni
cious activity in one holding office
by the appointment of the Presi
dent of the United States, whom
they hold individually responsible
for Wood's activity in this matter.
They will now assert that what
ever justification he may plead
for the interest he took in
that matter there can benojuati
fication for his taking money from
the Cuban -treasury to push reci
procity in the United States, and a
good many people, even those who
favor reciprocity, will agree with
them.
There is some question as to what
effect this revelation will have on
the Senators. Our opinion is that
is will strengthen the opposition 1 to
reciprocity who will make the most
of Wood's "pernicious activity" and
his use of public moneys, out of the
Cuban treasury, to promote one side
of a question under consideration in
Congress. If Wood were the only
party, to tbis they might not make
so much out of it, but they will
hold President Roosevelt even more
responsible than Wood, on the
ground that he must have known
and approved of this culpable use of
money out of Cuba's treasury.

again by the news that an arrange

The value of this instrument lies
mainly in the fact that it prepares the

exported in large quantities with the
lint on, because of the danger of com
bustion, and with this machine to take
the lint off they csn be exported in

Tne Success of Tile Dralnasre
Farm Lands and Hihvry Some
Recent Experiments In Illinois.
Hon tne Work Should Be Done.
All roads except, those on pure sand
can be materially improved by tile
drainage, says Professor Ira O. Baker
of the Illinois agricultural experiment
station in Good Roads Magazine. This
is the opinion of many farmers in sev
eral communities with whom the writ
er has conversed on this subject. In
each community this is universally the
opinion of the' farmers who have had
the best success in draining their own
farms. The cost of tile drainage is not
great say about 50 cents per rod, or
$160 per mile and the Improvement is
permanent, with no expense for main
tenance, and the benefit is immediate -and
certain.
Further, tile drainage is the very
best preparation for - a gravel or a
stone road. Gravel or broken stone
placed upon an undralned foundation
is almost sure to sink gradually, what
ever its thickness, whereas a thinner
layer upon an underdrained roadbed
will give much better service. "Roads
tiled without gravel are better than
roads graveled without tile."
The road should be underdrained so
as to keep the water level well below
the road surface. In most localities
this can be accomplished reasonably
well by laying a line of farm tile three
or three and a half feet below the road
surface along one side of the roadway.
It is sometimes claimed that there
should be a tile on each side of the
road. Some tests recently made by the Illi
nois experimental station, not yet pub
lished, seem to indicate that one line
will give fairly good drainage under
the most adverse conditions. The ex
periment consisted in the drainage of
a piece of land selected as the worst
that could be found in a part of the
state notorious as having a large area
of hardpan which it was generally con
sidered could not be underdrained "be
cause the soil held water like a Jug."
Lines of tiles were placed two and a
half feet deep and fifty feet apart The
water levefat a point midway between
the lines of tiles was lowered eighteen
inches, when at the same time the wa
ter level in the undralned portion of
the field was only six inches below the
surface. In this case the surface of
the ground water had a slope of one
foot in twenty-five feet, but in a more
porous soil the slope would be much
less. Therefore a single line of tile
three or three and a half feet deep, if
of adequate size, will give nearly per
fect drainage, and a second line will
not materially improve it.
Some writers on good roads advocate
the use of a line of tile under the mid
dle of the traveled portion, and some
advocate a line on each side of the
wheel way. The object sought by these
tiles is rapid drainage, and therefore it
is urged that they should be laid near
the surface. It is doubtful whether
any water will reach the tile, since the
road surface when wet is puddled by
the traffic, which prevents the water
percolating through the soil, and it is
certain that in clay or loam the drain
age thus obtained is of no practical
value. More than one farmer has tried
to drain his barnyard by laying tile
near the surface, always without ap
preciable" effect
While a line of tile on one side of the
road is usually sufficient there is of
ten a great difference as to the side on
which it should be laid. If one side of
the road is higher than the other, the
tile should be on the high side to in
tercept the ground water that is flow
ing down jthe slope under the surface.
The tile should be laid in the bottom
of the side ditch below the frost line.
Of course the tile should have a uni
form grade and a sufficient fall and ai.
adequate outlet. The size' of the tile
required will depend npon the length
of the line and the grade of the ditch,
but local experience in farm drainage
is likely to be a better guide than anj
general statement that can be made.
Farm drainage is almost certain to
precede road drainage in anparticu
lar locality.
The side ditches are to receive the
water from the surface of the traveled
way and should carry it rapidly and
entirely away from the roadside. They
are useful also to intercept and carry
off the water that would otherwise
flow from the side hills upon the road.
Ordinarily they need not be deep and,
if possible, should have a broad, flar
ing side toward the traveled way to
prevent accident if a vehicle should be
crowded to the extreme side of the
roadway. The outside bank should be
flat enough to prevent caving. The
proper form of ditch is easily made by
the usual road machine or road grad
er. The side ditch should have a free
outlet into some stream, so as to carry
the water entirely away from the
road. No good read can be obtained
with side ditches that hold the water
until it evaporates.
Much alleged roadwork is a positive
damage for this reason. Piling up the
earth in the middle of the road is per
haps in itself well enough, but leaving
undralned holes at the sidS of the road
probably more than counterbalances
the benefits of the embankment A
road between long artificial ponds is
always inferior and is often impassa
ble. It is cheaper and better to make
a lower embankment and to drain
thoroughly the holes at the side of the
roads. Often the public funds can be
more wisely used In making ditches
In adjofning private lands than in mak
ing ponds at the roadside in an at

COTTON MARKETS.
By.TelezraDh to the Morronz Star.
New York, June 12. The cotton
market opened firm with prices fire to
seven points higher, a normal response
to bullish cables from the English
market and to dry weather reports
from the entire belt. The shorts were
the cmer buyers at the higher prices,
though Europe figured as a light pur
chaser of the fall and winter months.
But as public support failed to awaken
and as bull traders were in no mood to
take the aggressive, the Jwhole list sift
ed slowly backward after the call until
before midday last night's final
bids were once more in force. Fore
casts for showers were extensive areas
of the eastern belt and for portions of
the western belt inspired selling for a
reaction by the bear leaders. The
fact that New Orleans dropped from
ft A J 1 - . a
v 00 on me opening to 9.Z3 by midday
for July, led to claims that crop con
ditions as a whole in the South were
favorable and spot demand was less
active. The report that the India
monsoon had broken and would greatly
benefit the crops of that country
helped to depress the late forenoon
market. Later in the day the local
market slowly rallied on light cover-
I'ng of a profit-taking nature. The mar
ret was finally quiet and net un
changed to two points higher. Total
sales were conservatively estimated at
75,000 bales. Louisiana advices com
plained of insect damage on a small
scale. Otherwise crop news was gen
erally bearish.
