A GOOD CAMPAIGN ARGUMENT.
Ottawa Mayor Elevated Through His
Musical and PoeticaI Powers.

Musical and Poeticai Powers.
tennessee once had a governor who
fiddled himself into the executive
chair, Bob Taylor attributed to his
Skill on the violin all the political dis
tinctlon he ever attained Now the
capital of the Dominion of Canada
(OttaWa) has mayor whose vocal
powers elevated him to that nigh posi-
ton. His name is Fred Cook. and it
is said he makes a good Official as
we'll as being great singer.
For many years Mr.. Cock has been
the Canadian correspondent OF he
London tEngland) Times. In 1901
he entered the race for mayor Of OF
tawa and was defeated for the nomi-
nation. Tae successful candidate was
in office but short time when he
offended against the laws of the Do
minion by buying drink after the
legal closing hour and the common
council of Ottawa elected an alderman
to fill the balance of the term.
Again this year says the Pailadel-
phia Record, Mr.. Cook entered the field
anu llIcQ poetry as campaign
argument. The experience proved a
great success. He sent to each voter
in the city handsomely decorated
card. having on one side his picture
picture of the mayors office, the
British flag and Canadian emblems,
and on the reverse side his little
poem. printed in both French and
Eglish. He was elected by surpris-
ig maturity.

AFTER THE CORPORATIONS.

Mr. DeArmond, of Missouri, has in
troduced a bill in congress, providing
that, in addition to the grounds of
bankruptcy now existing by law,
corporation or association shall have
committed an act of bankruptcy and
shall accordingly be subject to pro-
ceedings to adjudge it an involuntary
bankrupt and wind up its affairs and
distribute it's assets whenever it shall
have issued stock in excess of the fair
reasonable value of its property, or
whenever it shall have given or Of
fered to any person or association or
corporation any privilege or rebate
denied to another. Or when it shall
thirty days to effect settlement of
any difficulty or dispute with a MAORI
ty of it's employees or. patrons or to en-
ter into arbitration. or when it shall
have entered into any combination to
destroy competition. or whenever it
shall have failed to give correct infor-
nation in response to any lawful in
quiry.
Mr.. Diamonds bill, if enacted by
congress. and then should run the
gauntlet of the supreme court, would
correct many frauds. and would save
many a man from being feeced of his
money by having watered stock unload
ed on him But there is danger of abuses
arising under the law. 1t would at
ford a means by which unprincipled
persons could annoy the incorporated
concerns very much. The bill goes to
extremes Not all corporations are
bad ones. and what is need is a law
TO punish the bad ones without bring
ing unnecessary hardships upon those
which do business wholly along egit-
innate lines.

PLI.NS FOR WISCONSIN.
Five (hairranships the Reward for In.
dOrsing Cannon for speaker.

MILWAUKEE, Wis Nov Wisconsin
will have five chairmanships and the ser
geant-at-arms in the next House Of Repre-
-entatives for coming out for Cannon for
Speaker. Mr.. Cassait will be sergeant at =
arms. These are the chairmanshps: Dis
trict of Columbia chairman. Babcock:
Mines and Mining, Brown; Insular Affairs.
Cooper; Judiciary, Jenkins; Railways and
Canals, Davidson.
This is said TO be the promise that Con-
gresham Cannon made TO Congressman
Babcock when the latter agreed to pull out
of the Speakership contest and give Cannon
a clear track. The belief here gains ground
that Babcock was never seriously after the
place. but worked in the interest Of Cannon
when he allowed his name to be used "a A
SUCCESSOR of Speaker Henderson.
IL is this course Of BabcOck that is now
being criticised by friends Of the other
members Of Congress In this State They
assert that Babcock has used the Wisconsin
delegation for Cannons ends Every man
in Wisconsin thought Babcock serious
in his candidacy, and up to the time the
caucus met and indorsed Babcock all the
Wisconsin members supposed he would
become a candidate. Then when he was
called in and told of the Endorsement, he
sprung his little surprise
The delegat lon now feels that /, was taken
