to promote general uniformity of leg

that ultimately the prescriptions con
cerning marriage and divorce may bt

The speech of Judge Grosscup at
banquet given by the Marquette Club
of Chicago attracted considerable at
| tention. His Characterization of Tho
latest phase of corporate legislation
namely, that it is the business of legis
latures to furnish any kind of broad
gauge charter that promoters will pay
fees for, is uncompromising and un
| auestionabIe 1t is in essence and ef
feet to moor porate dishonesty. 1t il
nothing less than public policy favor
ing high prices and oppression; fol
where there is the necessity to declare
dividends on the creations of the ini'
agination a means will be found" The
remedy he proposes is a reconstruction
of corporate legislation by the National
Government But in the absence of any
guarantee that National legislation will
be any truer to the public need tnan
State legislation the first remedy is the
creation of an outspoken. intelligent
and clear public opinion. When that
is SO universal that every betrayal OF
the public interest by legislation in the
interest of the corporations is at once
rebuked it will not make much differ
ence whether the enactments are by tht
Federal or State Legislators

NEW CARDINALS NAMED
Pope Gives Little Evidence OF
Being Seriously Ill
HEIS SLOWLY SlNKIN G
Believed He Cannot Last MncI Longer
Was Unconscious Last Sunday Night
And His Relatives Was Summoned

Rome, June 23.-Ine consistory was
specially important, owing to the per
sistent rumors regarding the popes
i'll health and previous postponements.
Naturally, a ceremony in which the
pope, half hidden in vestments, Is
borne on a chair and is continually
assisted is not the best opportunity TO
judge of his arneerance or the state
of his health, but a man capable OF
undergoing the strain OF such a func-
tion has plenty of vitality. The pom
tiff's features seemed slightly more
clear cut and his hands trembled per
ceptibly, but his voice is plainly
heard, though it has lost something OF
its power. The ceremony was short
ened as much as possible and only
lasted about thirty-fiye minutes.
The following were created cardi
nails Monsignor TalianI, papal nun
clio of Vienna; Monsignor Cavicchiono
secretary of the congregation of The
council; Monsignor Ajuitt, papal nun
clio at Lisbon; Monsignor Nocella, sec
retary of the consistoral congregation
