Commissioner Garfield

James h. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, in
his annual report to the secretary of commerce and labof,
made public today, concludes his report in these words:
1T is universally recognized that the great highways
of commerce should be open to all upon equal terms.
II is likewise true that the opportunities for the individ-
ual to engage in Industrial enterprise should be equally
free. The individual is not strong enough ordinarily 10
protect himself against a great corporation. He can We
secure in his rights only under a law which subjects the
corporation to regulation by a government whose juris-
diction is broad enough and whose power is great enough
TO compel obedience. Such a law would lessen the pos
sibilities of unfair and dishonest competition. Under
such a law the questions of the reasonableness of com
bination, of conspiracies in restraint of trade, of monopO-
listic control, would be left, as they should be, for the
determination of the courts; and the government would
then have, as it should have, the opportunity at all times
to know the detailed operations of those corporations to
which it has granted great powers, upon which it has
imposed great responsibilities and over which il will
exercise its full measure of protection so long as they
obey the laws of the land.
1T is not necessary to repeat what was stated in
my last annual report regarding the relative merits of
federal license or a national Incorporation law. If the
principle of federal regulation be agreed upon, there
will be little difficulty in determining which method
should be adopted"

john BWrmSo Member
OF English Cabinet

Born in London, 1858; a labor agitator in 1886;
elected to the city council in 1890; elected to parliament
in 1892; appointed a member of the British ministry in
1905. That is the bare skeleton of the life of John
Burns, the first workingman who has ever been named
as a member of the English ministry. The full story is
q story of hardships and of self struggle.
If you should go to his modest home in the London
district that he has transformed into decency, you would
discover the secret of his steady climb upward. One
room is his library and it is filled with books. Burns
says each book represents the number of days he has
gone hungry. That he might buy a book he has gone
without food many days. You cant keep that sort of a
man down. The struggler who will deprive himself OF
a days food To buy a book is sure to get a full feast out
of the book.
Burns had natural gifts to begin with, but he made
the most of them. He added to his own observation and
experience a close study of economic and sociologic ques-
tons. He became a powerful advocate of reforms and
is one OF the few men who is always listened to when
he gets up in parliament. He always has something
vital to present. He is always thoroughly informed,
speaks what he thinks. His sincerity makes him a
power. Hence, when the new ministry came in John
Burns was chosen a member of the cabinet because of
his great influence and strong following. His is a fine
story of brains plus perseverance. AS a type of the
new democracy in England John Burns stands as a living
object lesson of the possibilities of the poorest man.

they were made such by employment

Twrm om More Eiqhf

Thanks are due Walter wellman for the bold, il
somewhat sensational, article which he had in Saturdays
Record Herald. He says that the Arizona mine owners
have a lobby at Washington, which, with a backing of
hundreds of millions of dollars, is resorting to startling
measures in its efforts to defeat the statehood bill. He
further states that scandals of national importance are
likely to arise from the conduct of the Arizonans. Well
man describes the lobby as the most strenuous, pictur-
esque and dangerous that has ever invaded the national
capital.
1t is picturesque, he says, because OF the bold
methods il employs and because it has at least two
United States senator's among its owners and hackers.
II is dangerous because of the possibility that grave
scandals may result from its operations. 1t is a lobby
with hundreds of millions of dollars back Of it.. The
agents and manipulators of its schemes are too smart to
offer outright brbes. But they have mining stock for
sale-stock which is sure to earn big profit; stock that
will pay big to all who get in on the ground floor, and
just now we are letting a little of It out to our friends.
Some day there may be a congressional inVestiga-
tion of Arizona mines and speculation and stock sales
Men who are caught owning such securities will not be
comfortable. 1t seems rather strange that the rich mine
owners of Arizona should be here fighting statehood,
either single or joint, but the reason for it is not far to
seek. They own the territory now. They run risks by
a change to statehood

Deserves More Than
A Medal or Thanks

They are talking down at Washington of granting a
medal giving a vote of thanks, writing an official COM
mandatory letter or doing something of the sort in recog-
milton of the courage and skillful seamanship of Boat
swain Sweeney in saving the gunboat Wasp. Unques-
tonably, this hero deserves honors. For more than for
weight hours, in a storm that hammered his little boat
furiously and ceaseiessly, and supported only by a raw
and inexperienced crew, he at last steered to safety, after
naval officers had given it up as lost. He deserves a
medal and a vote of thanks and a commendatory letter;
but he deserves more. He deserves to be promoted. 1t
is everywhere recognized that the crying need of the
navy is more good officers. Here is a good officer ready
made. The navy needs the courage and skill and fer
tihty of resource of Sweeney in a place of higher re-
sponsibihty than that of boatswain. 1t would be worth
while to sacrifice red tape for the sake of having in the
navy at least one officer who is a man standing upon
his own merit and whose promotion is due not to the
rule of succession, but to individual accomplishment,

Another evidence that Epes Randolph has less judg-
ment than imagination, and less honesty than either, is
plainly shown in the following from his talk in the Los
Angeles Express, to which reference was made by The
Citizen ON Saturday: IF the two territories are joined
in single statehood it will mean that at least one of the
new United States senators and the congressman and
governor of the state may need an interpreter 10 do

CHESTER OF THE GRANTS"

u.s. as we expected would be the case.
meeting with an exceedingly favorable re-
ception from the reading public. We learn
that the sales of the book are exceeding
even the sanguine expectations of the
the successful novels Of the day. The
following from the Army and Navy Jour-
nal of New York is one among the many
favorable notices of the book given by
leading journals:
Hester of the Grants, by Theodore
Peck 1rox, Duffield & Co., New York,
81 SOY, is a spirited and wholesome story
Of love and war in Vermont during the
Revolution. The Hampshire Grants. in
which the scene of the story is laid, were
described in an official report of General
Burgoyne of the British forces as "a
country which abounds in the most active
and most rebellious race of the conti-
nent." rhe heroine of the story was a
daughter of that race and the author has
given her personality which Is little
short of fascinating. The story is full
of action, sentiment, courage and patriot
usnl, the characters ARE all fkilfuly
drawn and the plot is developed with con-
vincing force and effect. The author of
this story. who is a daughter of Gen. Il. S.
Peck of Burlington. VT, is deeply imbucd
with the New England spirit and has inn
parted its full strength to this attractive
novel. Her heroine is a daughter OF a
royalist whose lover Is a patriot scout.
Thus beset by the opposing requirements
of love and duty. Hoster's position is one
which appeals strongly to the readers S
sympathy. 1t is but just to say that Miss
Peck has treated her theme with wOm-
anly feeling. grace and dramatic art of
a high order. The whole story abounds
in the Green Mountain atmosphere. and
among the central figures of the action
ono recognizes many heroic figures of the
Revolutionary period, including Ethan
Allen, Ira Allen, Seth Warner, Stephen
Fay and Thomas Chttcnden.
