Theater and Y. ~. c. A. Building at
Springfield, O., Burned.

Springfield, O., Burned.
Springfield, O., Feb. 2O.-Fire de-
stroyed the new building of the Young
Mems Christian association, the Foun-
tain Square theater and several ada
cent buildings, causing loss of $780,
OOO. The alarm came about $3.50
from the Fountain Square theater.
When the firemen reached the place
they found flames issuing from the
rear OF Mitchell's plumbing establish
ment. They soon reached the second
story and then communicated with the
theater. There was much delay in get
ting water and very soon the theater
and the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building, fine new structure,
were hopelessly involved. The falling
OF one wall of the theater crushed the
little jewelry store of Mulholland ad-
Joining. Mr.. Mulholland was known
to have just entered his store before
the wall fell, and it was also known
that two men from the great crowd of
bystanders had gone in to assist him
remove goods. These men were soon
rescued, having been sheltered by one
wall that was not crushed, but it took
a long time and hard work to reach
Mr.. Mulholland, who had been given
up as dead. He was painfully injured,
but will probably recover. The fire
men suffered severely from cold
weather

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.
Movement From England Reaching Gil
gantic Proportions.

New York, Feb. 20.-Rev. Mr.. Bars
emigration project has reached such
proportions, cables the London repre-
sentative of the Tribune, that he has
asked the Dominion government to re-
serve forty additional townships for
the British colony and offers to pay
the entry fees for the colonists at
once and locate them within six
months. He has secured strong finan-
cial support, having on deposit $780,
900 at his immediate disposal. This
request will involve concession from
the Dominion government for the &C.
cupation Of more than 100000 acres.
The force of the example of the Ameri-
can farmers, who have crossed the
frontier into the Northwest Territory,
has been decisive. 1t has directed to
Canada from Great Britain most re-
markable emigration movement at a
time when South African mine owners
are powerless to attract workmen and

Requisition Papers.


Requisition Papers.
Concord, N. H., Feb. 2O.-Requisi-
ton papers in the case of former
Mayor Ames of Minneapolis were hon.
ored by Governor Batchelder after a
hearing. 1t is considered doubtful if
the physical condition of DR.. Ames
will admit of an attempt to take him
to Minneapolis. He is at the home of
his sister at Hancock.
BY agreement of counsel in the case
the papers will not be serviceable un-
til March 5. One of Mr.. Ames' lawyers
stated that his client would return to
Minneapolis without extradition if his
health would permit.
Mr.. Dreger, the Minnesota sheriff,
said that he was satisfied that Ames
was very sick man and that he had
determined to return to Minneapolis
and face the charges against him as
soon as his health would permit.

SPOKE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Carroll D. Wright Represented
President at New Orleans.

New Orleans, April 15-Interest in to-
days session of the National Assocla-
tion of Manufacturers centered in the
report of the resolutions committee.
which was expected to result in a deli
mite understanding as to the attitude
the associa ton viii take toward organ
lied labor. The scornrr=ttee held three
short sessions last night and began its
nouncement was made that it would be
unable to complete its report at the
agreed hour, II a. m. and the chairman
expressed the belief that the report
could not be made until late in the az.
terroon.
When the forenoon session was called
to order Carroll D Wright was intro
duced and given a hearty reception
President Roosevelt had been invited to
attend and in declining named Mr.
Wright to represent him.
Mr.. Wright said in part: THE COM
bination has in it all the elements Of
the corporation. for it is simply an en-
larged corporation embracing more ele-
ments, more factors and therefore it IS
more powerful for good or evil than the
corporation of d quarter of a century
ago. But it recognizes in its develop,
ment an effort to dernocra tize industry.
Like great department store, it dem
ocratizes the handling Of goods and en-
ables the purchaser to secure in one
place all that he may need in his shop
ping tour. The great combination en-
ables society to secure its commodities
on more stable basis than under the
previous methods. Its evils are those
The Topeka state journal., 1903-04-15

of management and not of constitution
These evils may be handled by law and
by society. We need not fear them, fol
when the combination does not seek the
common good and does not accomplish
by its methods and its machinery OF
production and distribution the welfare
of society. society itself win take care
Of the matter 1t is the result of de-
velODment of the idea of associated
force. and therefore under it industry
has secured greater power than it has
ever received.
Conversely. the single workingman,
working by the side of his employer,
was his employers personal associate,
but as the employer developed into the
firm and the firm into the corpora ton
and the corporation into the combina-
ton, the single workingman has devel-
oped along similar lines. He became
the emplOye of the firm with a larger
number of fellow workrnen. Then he
became the employe of the corporation
and the personal relation that previous
ly existed was weakened or severed.
Now he is grouped as the fellow en-
ploye of thousands and thousands under
the great combination where he is still
farther removed in a personal way from
his employer
Does this mean harm or does it mean
good2 The answer to this question de-
pends entirely upon the attitude of the
two parties in the new relation.
Capital may receive now and then an
exorbitant increase in the way of
profits or of interest and wages may
be raised or depressed artificially, but
under all normal conditions the profits
to capital and the remuneration to la
Dor will be regulated by positive econ
onlic laws: but these laws are more
elastic than natural laws, and hence
