out regard to his motives in seeking
such enforcement, is asserted by Judge
/ Pugsiey Of the Court of Common Pleas
of Lucas county, Ohio, in the case of
John Arbuckle and others VS., the Wool
son Spice company and others. The
Arbuckles owned sixty-one shares of
stock, for which they paiG more than
its actual value On these shares they
brought suit to have the court compel
the Woolson company to register the
stock, and to let the Arbuckles inspect
the company's books. The judge noted
that it was admitted that the sixty
shares of stock were bought, not as an
investment but for the purpose of in
stituting litigation against the compa-
ny, and thereby endeavoring to promote
their interests, as such competitors,
but decided that "the right to transfer
stock is given by law and is incident to
ownership as much as the right Of in
spection;" the judge holding that the
owner of stock of a corporation may en-
force such rights as are incident to his
ownership of stock without regard to
his motives in seeking such enforce
ment." As to the extent to which the
Arbuckles are entitled to inspect the
books, the judge ruled that "the stock
holder is entitled to an inspection Of the
stock books and records of the directors
and stockholders, and the books and /
records of the company which will fur
nish information as to it's receipts and
dividends, profits and !
losses, and generally as to it's business
and financial condition; !
but the decree in this case should eX-
clude the plaintiffs from the right to in

NOT IN ARID SUBJECT.

The discussion concerning the re-
claiming of arid lands in the West is
bound to grow. The matter Is one of
great Importance. A fair estimate that
has been made of the land that may
be made available for cultivation by
impounding waters for irrigation pur-
poses places it's area at 100, 900 acres.
1t is now practically worthless. With
irrigation it is claimed this land would
be worth from $500, 100000 to perhaps
ten times that amount, and if not sold
it could be rented for 81 to SIS a year
per acre. The necessity of dealing
promptly with the problem is emphasize
ed by the fact that all over the arid re-
gion irrgating companies are now at
work obtaining control of vast tracts
of land and of impounding basins by
means of which they may be supplied
with water. In many instances vested
rights in water privileges and land are

will be used as the basis for making
extortionate demands on the govern
ment should some plan for general i'm
provement be decided on. The Repub-
lican national platform strongly pro-
nounces in favor of a system of arid
land reclamation that will leave the dis
tribution of water on such lands in the
hands and under the control Of the peo-
pie of the States and territories where
the lands are situated.
1t will be vast improvement If the

Not long after he had the offer of the

with q salary of three liras, $3.50, a

six years worked himself to death, be-
loved and lamented by ALL intelligent
Turks declaring that he was wonder
full man. He inspired his pupils and
friends with the desire Of a college, and
1T may be, at least III part, owing to
his influence that a Turk gave the
grounds upon which the Aintab college
now stands.

BRYAN THE PROPHET.

Mr.. Bryan has been such failure as
a prophet that perhaps any single IL

not sufficient in peace, and there is no.
body who thinks that we could main
tain it single day after war was de-
clared by any nation on EARTH
When this prophecy was made it was
rather impressive, because nobody but
Mr.. Bryan really knew what effect a
war would have on financial matters,
But since it was made the United States
has fought with Spain, and England
has fought with the Dutch in South
Africa, and the gold standard is more
firmly intrenched in the financial sys-
tenn of the United States than ever be-
fore, and there Is more gold in the fed
eral treasury than at any other period
of the nations history. -Four hundred
and fifty millions in gold Is a fair
backing to the gold standard in this
country.
