ftg~ G,1MMELD PLAN.. Same Defects As to Proposed Cox trol of Trusts. ITomas G. Frost, general couns Er the National Incorporation con vaRy, -and author of "Frost on Inco pration," upon being interviewed : reference to the proposed federal I censing of incorporations, said: "The proposed remedial corpor: tion legislation recommendtd t Commissioner Garfield involves tw separate propositions: First, th passage of a general federal inco pwation law; second, the enactmei of a federal statute requiring all co: portaions engaged in interstate con inerce to procure a license from th federal government before engagin therein. 'My opinion as to the advisabilit an'd practicability of such legislatio is this: A federal corporation lav permissive and not mandatory i -character, while it would have muc to recommend it, would do little tc wards remedying existing a:,use Suci an act would simply meet th wants of those who preferred a cha1 ter issued under authority of the fed eral government, and this, too, at t1i epense of the state government would unquestionably suffer a dimir -cation in income were federal inco: poration to be permitted. As source of revenue to the nations government such an act would ur doubtedly be a pronounced succesf but as a 'trust-buster' it would b grievous disappointment. "The proposition to require a fec eral license from all state corpora tiws engaged in interstate commerc is crude,. visionary and exceedingl ill-advised from a business stanc point It is a species of radical leg islation suited to a strongly centra z,d government, such as Franc rather than to one, such as our -wherein the rights - of the sever states are carefully guarded by cor 'stitutional enactments against er croachments on their prerogatives b the federal government. "The objects to the proposed fed eral license law may be briefly sum inarized as follows: First, it is cer tralization in its worst and most vix ilent form; second, it would be im possible to make it wholly effectiv owing to the fact that the right t forfeit the charters of the corporn tions so licensed would rest necessai ily with the stat4 authorities fror 'whom the charter was procured. Fir ally, if such a bill were introduce into congress it would be difficult t find friends for it among the nurr erous body of "safe and soun statesmen !" WIomen Tired 0? -jandem Rule. New York Sun. Woman suffragists iourneyed froi all parts of New Jersey and eve from Brooklyn recently to hear tli Rev. Anna ,Howard Shaw, presider of .the National American Woma Suffrage association, lecture on "Th SFate of Republics," at the annual rt ception of the Orange Politics Study club, given in Union Hal Main street. East Orange. On tli sentence "all republics have grow along the strength of the mascuhil1 character and decayed along tlh strength of the female character. !Niss Shaw built arguments for thi suffrage movements. She said: "Men have been talking about the: superiority for 6,ooo years. It's oni been about forty years that we w< 2nen have been allowed to talk abot our superiority, and we will have t talk lin a hurry to catch up. The have been going tandem loin enough; we now propose to ride b< side thenm. "Women are superior in that the are more moral, more temperat more peace loving and law abidir than men. I don't mean by th: *that we don't talk more than a ought, bhut we don't fight, and that: the very reason many men say a should not be enfranchised. Or class of men that always tall against women voting because the can't fight is the class that sern substitutes to the army. Now v could do that, too, for, of course, t1 2en who love us would be delight< to fight and die for us. They put us on pedestrals wi1 sale idiots and male criminals ar call us angels. Didn't I attend ti famous fight in the senate wh< 1moming was proposed for stat hood, and when those senators V through discussing us I wouldr - have been an angel for anything, v were so much more beautiful. asked Miss Susan B. Anthony if si el knew before that we were so tender! reverenced, and she said, that st hadn't been conscious of it until th n I time. "There are never any monumen erected to women, and w%y-becau, - we are the unfranchised class. Whe Y the Pilgrim monument was unveile o I took a party down to see it, e: e pecting that women, would at lea - be included in this tribute, but it w t dedicated to the Pilgrim fathers, wit fathers occupying a whole line. Yc L- have all looked at that picture of tl C Inding of the Mayflower, a grou g9 standing on the bank, awaiting tI man who is wading ashore throug y the water with something in h n arms. It looks like a woman, bi r, you are told they are all forefather n no matter how much like wome h they look. "Once I had a discussion with D s. Buckley on woman's suffrage, and h e told me that women were so em( tional that if they got into politi< they would go crazy. . Of course, e didn't want to go crazy, even for m , country's sake, nobody wants to, bt I decided to look up statistics. - found that in Wyoming, where w< a men had been in politics for te L years, there was only one insane w( man. Mr. Spencer says that whil , the theory of women voting is a e right, the calm legal mind of ma is superior in politics to the emc - tional mind of women. Well I a1 , tended a convention of these caln e legal minds, and when the favoril Y man was nominated for president saw the calm, legal minds slap th - hats down over the eyes of othe - calm, legal minds until only the. , ears stuck out." , Amid rapturous applause, th J speaker stopped, while every one - the 200 women and the three me who had timidly ventured in hurrie y to the platform to greet her. Mrs. Emma L. Blackwell, presider of the club, announced that a so< ial would follow, and for half an hot - the members and guests talked < suffrage problems and the time whe they would all vote. e CHICAGO SUBWAY. Value of Freight Line That Carrie The Transcontinental It is claimed that the undergroun d railroad of the city of Chicago w~ in a great measure relieve the cor gested condition of the streets of th: city, not so much by the diversic ,f traffic below the surface as by th semoval of the great number< n1 eams heretofore required to handl n the freight traffic of the great wesi e ern metropolis, says the Scientifi it American. n The first instance of this kind wa e recently accomplished in an exper -mental manner by the transport: l tion of the mails by this subsurfac 1, line instead of by horses, conveyin e the bags across the city from one d n pot to another. The entire trans e cantineal mail had to be transpor1 e edin hismanner, and much dela " eul i ncident to the exchang e from the trains to the wagons an back again, independent of that whic r frequently happened to the wagor y in the course of their trips throug I the thronged streets of the busy cit: it Connection had been established be o tween the stations of the Lak y Shore and ,Milwaukee Central ar gthe Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Pai -and upon the completion of the wor the mails were transferred directl y to the tunnel cars and after beir , sealed were sent on their way. g The operation is largely automa it ic, and as the way is clear no time e e lost in transit. The company u: .s dertaking the contract agrees to c1 e the present time of handling the ma ie between the points named in hal ss but at the same time the officials al y! confident of their ability to do ye: s much better than this. If the scherr ee proves successful other connectior ee will be made to and from the mai d postoffice handled in this manner. This innovation besides cuttir h down the time of mail transportatic dd will be the means of saving mu< e money now spent by the governme: n in the maintenance of wagons at -he. t+ wil alsn plae at tl yt disposal of the Chicago postmaster t' considerable room about the post re office structure which is now given I up to the purposes of a wagon stand. e This is an item of some importance ly in this case, as there is a scarcity of e room and the space thus gained can It be put to good use. ts SAYS "STAY AT HOME." n Secretary Wilson Paints Glowing d Picture of Rural Life. ; In his annual report James Wil s son, secretary of agriculture, after ,h showing that the products of United u States farms in one year are worth e $4,900,000,000, states that the hens of the United States lay i,666,ooo,ooo e dozens of eggs a year, or enough in h one month to pay the interest of the is entire national debt for one year. It Mr. Wilson figures that the corn s would be sufficient to pay off the n debt. The cotton crop, he estimates at $6oo,ooo,ooo. r. Secretary Wilson says that all the be gold mines of the entire world have not produced since Columbus dis -s covered America, greater value of I gold than have the farmers of the y country in two years. This year's t product of the' farms is more than six times the capital stock of all the national banks, three times the n gross earnings of the railways, four times the value of all mineral pro e duced, twice the sum of the imports 11 and exports, and comes within three n quarters of a billion dollars of equalling the value of all manufac tures for the year 1900. Secretary Wilson is pleased with the bureau of plant industry, which after eight years' work had produc e ed an orange that will grow as far r north as North Carolina, and is proof ir against the frosts of Florida, thus insuring a crop. For several years e the experiments for an orange re sulted in a lemon, but this year a n sweet orange was produced and Sec d retary Wilson ate one of them on Thanksgiving day with his dinner. t The secretary shows that the de posits in banks have greatly in r creased. "The farmer may not become a n millionaire," he says, "but he is surer than the millionaire to retain his wealth and to have independence in living." Mr. Wilson advises young men not to leave the farm. His Inference. De'rtoit Free Press. Tom-My grandfather must have d been a very thin man.
