State Factory Inspector John c. Ward
is credited with saying that the glass
manufacturers intend to hire boy help
ers for their fall operations without re-
gard to the new law which require boys
to be IA years old before they can work
in factories. He states the companies
have been advised that the new law lie
unconstitutional. AS the old law which
Mr.. Ward was appointed to enforce was
a dead letter, probably leads the manu-
facturers to believe the new one will be
no better.

In hearing an application for a receiver
for a toDacco company which has in
creased its capital stock from 500, 600 to
81 1000, 900. Vice Chancellor Pitney said:
II wish to express right here my Judicial
distrust Of such practices. There is no
honesty in a stock issue of 81 600, 600 on
a Is or 80 per cent. basis, and the forcing
out OF the holders of the common stock
to the p~referment Of those holding pre-
ferre1 stock. That sort OF practice is a
fraud on the people who invest their
money, and it is thievery to do it." One
Of the great frauds in mushroom corpora
tions is the issuing of stock to several
times the cost of a property of a company
and the selling Of stock at less than par
value. The law should require honest
values and honesty earned dividends
without water and forced dividends.

Those newspapers that rejoice because
the Populists have decided not to fuse
with either of the old parties desire that
the Democratic party become more like
the Republican party and less democrat
ic in principle. The principles on mon
ey legislation promulgated by the Popu-
lists are the same which Jefferson and
Jackson believed in and are the same
pronounced feasible and constitutional
by the U. S. Supreme Court. If the
Democratic party adhere to those princi-
pies the Populist party will be small even
though they do not fuse. If the Demo-
cratic party decides to cast it's lot for a
gold standard and banknote currency
the Populist and Socialist parties will
grow.

tire from the cabinet in the early
part of next year. In his retire
ment, the country loses M of the
ablest men who have filled that
responsible position since the begin
ming of tie nation. Without any
previous training except what he
had received IL the pursuit of his
profession, he assumed charge Of the
department at a time when new
conditions were presented. The ma
tion had entered upon the new field in
the Pacific. Our army must not only
be properly cared for and the des-
ultory Instructions among the ma
tives quelled, but it was necessary to
establish in a strange land the p%rinci-
pies of the American nation, and edu-
cate the natives who had been taught
by centuries Of oppression to hate the
foreigner, to respect the functions Of
an orderly government. Nor was this
all. Upon the war department fell
the task Of administering the govern
ment not only in the Philippines, but
in Cuba as we'll. In the latter, the
long suffering people were slowly but
certainly prepared for self govern
ment. This preparation was the work
of Secretary Root, and the manner in
which 1t was done can best be judged
by the results accomplished. The
Cuban Republic was launched without
a jar or a single friction Out Of a
nation of revolutionists was construct
ed a government Of conservatives.
Out of chaos was constructed order.
In the Philippines tho work has been
greater. This empire of the sea was
not in a condition to become self
governing, and 1T was necessary to
win the love and confidence Of the
people while ruling with an iron hand.
The task seemed hopeless but the IKE
executive ability of the head Of the
war department proved equal to tho
task, and the work has been 80 far
completed as to Leave no question Of
the result. Aggressive yet conserva.

The address of Senator Hansbrough
delivered at the meeting of the Bank
ers' association in this city has at
tracted considerable attention, and
has beer the subject of not a little
comment. The currency question is
a complicated one, and not easy for
a layman to grasp. The advocate of
any particular sort of financial legis-
lation, if he has studied his subject,
is able to present arguments in favor
of his plan which the ordinary bust
ness a though he may not be con-
WINGED by them, is powerless to meet.
The subject is not one that CAL be dis
cussed understandingly off hand, or
settled in a paragraph or two. There
is one portion Of Senator Hansbrough's
speech, however, which deals with
IN important question, and on which
the principal involved appears to be
80 plain that there should be no doubt
concerning it. This is as to the sort
Of security which should be accepted
for the privilege of issuing bills.
The senator takes the position that
the line should be drawn at the bonds
Of private corporations The point
is made that to admit to the privileg-
ed class the bonds of railroad compan-
les would be to introduce a principle
wholly foreign to our system, and On
tirely wrong. 1t is difficult to see
how any other view of the subject can
be taken. Bonds of public bodies.
such as states and even cities, are
safe and stable commodities. They
are not speculative securities. They
have a fixed value, and that value is
| expressed on their face. This cannot
be said of the bonds of any private
corporation, OF Of it's stock. 1t is
true that there are stocks which dc
not huctuate materially, but the
control of them is in the hands of pr
vate individuals who are at liberty te
use them as they see fit. So long az
the stock Of private corporations i:
watered as it is, and so long as it i:
possible for spectators to make {
plaything Of this class Of securities
it would appear to be poor policy t.
base our money on it.-Grand Fork

There is that in the play to the gal

johnson is one Of these men. He is
wealthy and a large corporate owner

much interested in the doctrines
taughtby that dreamer that he return
