Who is the most important man
in the world? Some one says
John ID. Rockefeller, because he is the
richest. II he has the most of what
most people want, money, they argue
he is the most important person. We
suppose it depends on the view one has
of such things. II wealth is the most
important thing in life, the one thing
most to be desired, they have the
argument. II character is most i'm.
portant, then Rockefeller isn't in it,
If political position, or vast learning
either measures more than money
then John ID. is outclassed. 1t de.
ponds on ones views on those things.
To be candid, we don't admire Rookie
Teller as a man, o think his surplu:
of riches makes up for his shortage IL
character.

nothing on board to sustain the charge

damages for illegal seizure and deten-

the night in the wake Of the others.
She had witnessed the chase and
flight. but had stopped to catch a
shark by the way. In the stomach Of
the shark the sailors found tin box
In the box were the papers OF the
fugitive vessel. These proved her to
be SLAYER of the most unequivocal
character. and upon their evidence she
was condemned and conHscated.

One of the most serious problems
before Congress is the question what.
IL anything, can be done to regulate
the operations OF great corporations
for the protection Of the public with
out interfering with the legitimate de-
velopment OF capital or coming into
collision with the reserved rights Of
the States under the constitution. Com
missioner James II. Garfield Of the Blu
reau OF Corporations, in his first annu-
al report, recommends the adoption OF
system under which all cOrporatio
which do an interstate business should
be required to have national fran.
chise or license. He would make con
formity with all necessary require
ments regarding corporate organization
and management condition to the
grant Of such license, and the max
Ing Of all required reports and returns
condition to its retention. and would
shut out from interstate and foreign
commerce all corporations which did
not hold such a license. He argues
that some such system as this is need
from the practice OF charterlng cor.
poratlons in States whose laws are lax
to carry on business In other States to
the laws OF which they cannot be held
accountable because Of their incorpora-
ton elsewhere.
