President of the Society.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-Miss Anthony

the state presidents of New Jersey and
Montana, from which it appeared that the
suffrage cause is making satisfactory prog
ress. Carrie Chapman Gait, of New York,
who yesterday was elected president of the
association, read reports of the committees
on course of study, headquarters and or
ganization. She said in part:
"Basing our Judgment on the reports of
the States, we announce our belief that the
organized condition of those States which
we can rightfully call organized is more
hopeful and satisfactory n ever before.
Many States have reported an increase In
membership this year. There are working
organizations in every State and Territory
except New Hampshire and Florida. All
in all, our association is showing signs of
greater stability, permanency and Influence
than ever before. The close Of the year
1899 found us completely out of debt. We
wish to express our deepest gratitude to
our many contributors who have made 1t
possible for our committee to perform its
mission in the past year."
In the course of the morning session Miss
Anthony stated that she did not like to
retire from the presidency OF the associa-
ton without a little money In the treasury.
Contributions being called for, S,02l were
pledged. A large number of beautiful gifts
were presented to Miss Anthony. among
them a silk gown, Jugs from her friends in
Rochester, art embroideries, a silver vase.
an album containing the photographs or
the officers of the association and some
thing over 500 in cash from friends in CAL

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, who sue

The trust question is an important one
and the American people are studying it.
They have got far enough along to discover
that it is a many-sided question with end
less ramifications and bearings on social
and economic conditions. They find that
trusts have their uses as well as their
evils, and that the real problem is how to
prevent the latter without interfering with
commercial development and progress, how
to get rid of what is bad in trusts while
retaining what may be good. They are
doing some hard thinking on the subject,
and are willing and anxious to get at the
real truth. but they will not get any as
sistance or light from a congress of cranks
like that just held in Chicago.

There is doubtless another side to the
Mr.. Carnegie, but, after making due al
lowance for the best showing a plaintiff
can make. the bill which Mr.. Frick has
filed against Mr.. Carnegie is a revelation.
There are certain statements upon which
both sides agree that are remarkable. One
of these statements is that the net profits
during 1899 were s21, 600, 900 on low-priced
contracts, and another that Mr.. Carnegie
estimated the net profits of 1900 at $40, co.,
900. This is the net profit of one great in
dustry in one year controlled by one COM
pany and practically by Andrew Carnegie,
who owns 5S1z per cent. of the property.
The man who has holdings that now yield
him a net income of more than 800, 900, 900
a year is doubtless the richest man in this
country. Even at his own valuation Mr..
Carnegie's holdings are worth $751;, $50, 900.
Upon Mr.. Carnegie's valuation Mr.. Prick
believes he should have about SIG. 00O, 900.
but 1t seems that the Carnegie valuation
is the figure it is worth to him, while the
luSlSIllCdUt % per cent. OI FLICK, WHO mas
conducted the great establishment for a
dozen years, is just what Mr.. Carnegie
sees fit to give when he has determined to
freeze him out. For a ia who causes
himself to be advertised as a great philan-
thropist who is devoting himself to so dis
pensing his millions that he may die a
poor man, this performance is not calcu-
lated to elevate Mr.. Carnegie in the public
estimation. 1t may be added that at the
rate of profits of more than $40. 0O0. 900 a
year it will take some time for Mr.. Car
negie to make himself a poor man by ex-
pending one-fifth that sum-. The real value
of this recital of Mr.. Frick. however, is
that it gives the public a vast amount of
insight into the profits Of great corpora
lions. 1t proves the value of publicity in
dealing with trusts. Indeed, more than all
the antitrust gabfests that have been held
the Prick declaration shows the real char
acter and the vast profits of great COM
binations which in no sense are trusts.

Public meetings in the United States to

If 1t Is true as stated that the Beers have
assumed the aggressive and are pressing
the British at certain points they may be
making a great mistake. With their long,
range guns and fine craftsmanship they
have been eminently successful on the de-
fensive, with kopjes, defiles and rocks as
allies. but 1t does not follow that they
would be equally so in pursuit. A British
army would be a bad subject TO overtake.
