FROHMAN EXPLAINS.
Declares His Theatrical Syndicate
Gives 900 People Employment

New York, Dec. 7.-Charles Frohman,
who is alleged to be one of the principal
men interested in what is called the
theatrical trust, gave his side of the
story in an interview today. He said:
Yes, I am in with the syndicate,
The syndicate facilitates theatrical
bookings, and it is run on business
principles, and it is the best friend
the successful dramatist, actor, or man
ager ever had.
1.-The men that are interested in this
chain of theaters, extending throughout
the country, are on the alert for sue
cesses, no matter who manages them.
LAS for myself, within the last ten
years I have brought it about, to
great extent, that dramatists. native
and foreign, receive larger royalties
than formerly; I have placed many of
the best managers in positions they
have been glad to occupy and I have
raised the general average of the ac-
tors salaries. 1 am giving employment
to about 900 theatrical people.
I am perfectly willing to go on rec
ord now for the first time that I am not
in the theatrical business for arts sake.
I am endeavOring constantly to find
out what the public wants in the way
of entertainment and amusement, and
it is my effort to provide them with it."

A Wandering Lake.

The Swedish explorer of Central Asia,
Sven Hedin, gives the latest information
concerning the wandering" of Lake
Nor in the Cobb desert, q phenomena
about which contradictory views have
been entertained. He says that Tarim
river, entering the lake from the west,
brings down, during the period of high
water late in summer, great quantity
of silt, which has the effect of driving
the lake, lying on the level floor of the
desert, toward the southeast. But the
summer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast and
1t, too, tends to drive the lake before it.
The combined effect of the urging by
the wind and the river is to force the
lake southwark. Yet Sven Hedin thinks
the migration of the lake is not constant
in direction, but it shifts back and forth
internationally. according as the cir.
cumstances change.

"Dollars Always Worth One Hundred
Cents"

This goldbug dishonest cant is
we'll exposed by the Bimetallist in
the following illustration.
"The price of gold stated in
dollars and cents is merely the
price fixed by law, or the mint rate.
Properly speaking it is not a "price"
at all. 1t signifies nothing more
than that certain weight of the
metal will be manufactured into a
certain amount of coin. That is to
say the Government will take 1922
grains Of gold, mix 25.S of alloy
with it, fashion it into price of
certain shape, stamp certain
emblems or designs upon it and call
it an eagle, or ten dollars. Origin
nally the eagle contained 2474
grains of pure gold. Now it con-
tains 1922 grains. When the
former weight prevailed a dollars
worth of gold was 244 grains. Now
it is 1922 grains.s What has
happened to the gold? Nothing.
The law has been changed. That
is all.

What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We cannot
be held responsible for the dispositions
and tendencies which we derive from our
ancestors, nor are we responsible for the
germs of disease which may manifest
themselves in our blood as a heritage
from former generations. But we are
responsible if we allow these germs to
develop into serious diseases which will
impair our usefulness and destroy our
happiness. We are responsible if we
transmit TO Que descendants the disease
germs which it is possible for us to Grad
icate by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the one true blood purifier. This med
icine has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place of
disease.

The National Congress of rlothers.

The pre-eminence of the cause repre-
scented by this congress of mothers is
beyond question. Important as they seem
to be and are, the thousand and one other
interests so zealously aud vigorously
championed on convention platforms
whether social or political, are chiefly
limited to things which pertain to either
locality, class, or period; but the cause Of
motherhood is as wide as the world, EN-.
bracing the welfare, both temporal and
spiritual. of the whole human race, i'll all
generations. In other words, the ma
terial, intellectual, and moral interests Of
mankind, as referred to human agencies,
are fundamentally dependent on the cap,
ability, opportunity, and supreme loyalty
of mothers. 1t is therefore a cause in the
highest sacred. And, accordingly, to
give to mothers everywhere just realiza-
ton of these vital truths is a first and
most solemn duty of those who, being OF
them, are also able to represent them

The recent Lexow investigation by a
committee of the New York legislature
makes it plain that trusts and corpora
tons cannot be confined to legal bounds
or prevented from preying upon the public
without placing all such associations
under surveillance of the power of the
State which grants them their franchise.
The commission in its report says:
can important difficulty is that of
securing the testimony to a judicial
ascertainment of violation of any pro-
vision of New York State laws by a So
called trust or foreign corporation
This is self evident. The only way that
corporations can be brought under con-
troll of law and made answerable to the
power which creates them is by con-
slant inspection and oversight by that
creating power, state or national.
Nothing will destroy the trust and
check monopoly except publicity. A
rigid inspection by a public officer and
frequent publication of the business of all
corporations which are created by the
government is necessary to prevent them
from imposing on the public. The safety
Of the people demands such public super
vision and rigid control of corporations.
They are far from being private enter
prises A corporation in no sense re-
sembles an individual or copartnership
business.
The railroads are the most powerful
corporations in this country, and when
the Supreme Court decided that they were
amenable to the antitrust law they cry
out that they will all be ruined unless
they are permitted by special act of
congress to form great trust. The his
tory OF railroads in this country proves
that these giant corporations, for their
own or stockholders protection and for
the public safety, above all others, need
to be supervised by the government
These corporations are all artificial per-
sons and the nation and states which
grant charters to create them should hold
tight rein over them and conhne them
closely to the grants in their charters.
