Federal License Of corporations.

The Federal license plan for the regdla-
ton Of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, hinted at by President Roose-
welt in his message. receives the unquali-
fed Endorsement of Secretary Metcalf
who regards it as the most feasible meth
Cd Of exercising governmental control
over corporations. The essential require
ments Of a Federal license to do business,
in Mr.. Metcalfs judgment, are a full dis
closure Of all facts necessary TO show the
ownership. properties, financial condition
and management Of the corporation; pro-
vision for inspection of the corporation s
records and annual reports. The govern
ment, he thinks, should have power to re-
woke the license and to prohibit cont!nu-
ance in interstate business in the event
that the corporation fails in its obligations
toward the government or violates FEEDER
al laws.
The license plan is, Of course, not a new
one. having been more or less discussed
in the press and on the platform for ii
number of years. It presents the great
advantage Of coming within the constitu-
tional authority of the Federal govern
ment, which has unquestioned power to
regulate commerce among the States, a
power which has been constantly broad
ened by statute and by judicial interpreta-
tion as necessity has arisen. Mr. Metcalf
points out that the control Of corporations
under the license plan would not conflict
with the right of the States 10 create cor
porations and to regulate their conduct
within State boundaries, another strong
point in Its favor
No honestly managed corporation could
object to the requirements for a license
proposed by Mr. Metcalf They simply
provide for publicity as 10 those facts
about every big corporation which the in.
vestor has a right to know. Public senti-
ment. both in and out of Wall street, is
strongly in favor Of exact statements of
the financial condition Of every corpora
tion and of honest and impartial annual
reports. The Federal government would
accomplish ii great public service by COM
pelling the rendering Of such reports and
statements at stated intervals

There seems to be some difference of
opinion as to the advisability OF the gen.
eraI tone Of the letter sent on Friday by
Public Printer Stillngs to members Of
both Houses Of Congress. But one para
graph of the document, which, so far,
has been overlooked In the general crit
Icism, is worthy of deeper consideration
than his proposed use Of the public car
riages or the hours fer receiving callers.
The paragraph In question is that in
which Mr. Sullings declares:
TT is my desire that the Government Printing
once shall be pre-eminently the leader among
printing and binding establishments, not only IN
equipment and administration. but in personnel and
in quality Of production
In every respect this is a most worthy
desire. II sets a high ideal, one which
not only can be attained, but which
should be attained. There is every reason
why the Government Printing ONCE
should be pre-eminent among printing
Offices. II has the men, the money, and
every possible facility. 1t comes into
competition with no one, for its rate of
wages, generally speaking, is higher than
that in non governmental shops; there
should be that environment that spirit
of contentment. that pride in labor which
alone insures coed work.
There has been some friction between
the Public Printer and some Of his en-
ployes. Much has been said on each side
to9 much, perhaps, but enough, at any
rate 10 show that there was present a
feeling OF unrest and dissatisfaction with
executive methods. 1t may well be that
much Of this was the outcome of at
tempted reforms. of too eager zeal on
the part Of the Public Printer to force
reforms rather than to let them come
naturally under a new and more busi-
.nesslil1e system Of doing business. What
ever the cause, we think that If tire
Public Printer clings to the ideal ok-
pressed IN that paragraph Of his letter

believe that the governments service is
highest service, demanding patriotic fidel-
ity 10 duty. Every government employe
should feel that he is set in high place
and that his work should be an example
TO his fellows.
Particularly has the Government Print
ing Office the opportunity TO impress the
value Of its work upon the country. No
department sends the results OF its labors
so directly to the people. The output Of
the Government Printing Office rot only
reaches the people; it goes into every
printing house in the country. and, sub

APPLIED LEANING.

See the man!
Oh, yes, the man is swearing rapidly.
Now he is putting his thumb in his
mouth.
That is why he has stopped swearing:
not because his thumb has stopped hurt

Yes, he has smitten his thumb with the
hammer
How did he do so?
Do you not see the book on the floor?
It IS entitled Every Man His Own Car
penter.
Yes, the man was holding it in his left
hand and reading the instructions for
driving nails while he tried 10 follow
them with his right hand.
Now he has removed his thumb from
his mouth and is saying some more things.
Ha, ha!
We should not laugh so heartily had we
not smashed our own thumb once or
twice.
We learn from this that in the onward
march Of time We often learn that from
our misfortunes of to-day we CLEAN our

THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER.
THE OLD SCHOOL BEIr.


The oiden paths are dim to-day, long time
the weeds have blown
In witheTed dreariness upon the trails that
lie alone
The old home is a ruin now. place of
cTumbling walls.
With all the dust Of emptiness strewn
thickly in its halls.
And there is nothing left OF all the days /
loved so well
Except the silver singing Of the old school
bell

those were hOmely days.
And back they come in memory until ]

girls and boys.
And own again the treasures OF my van
ished childish joys;
And on and on the echoes run, more sweet
than tongue can tell
The clinging, ringing cadence Of the old
school bell.
The roses Of the long ago are shriveIed OF
the stem,
The trees are whispering that now have
no part with them,
There is no old familiar face in all my
walks around,
And so I stand and brood upon the changes
/ have found,
Until there comes a strain that from tho
boy days surely fell
1t is the mellow music OF the old school
bell
The tones sweep out across the morn, they
drift upon the breeze
And I have heard great organs make their
marvel melodies.
And have heard the battle song OF winds
upon the sea
And giOry-chants Of mountain choirs oi
gale and crag and tree,
But never have I heard a song of bali
the mystic spell
That is worked by the magic of the ole
school bell.
The hand Of time has taken all the thing!
/ owned of old
Save one, but it has changed the bell.
harsh notes TO tones OF gold,
Has softened them and strengthened then
and deity woven all
The best of all the days I thought wer,
gone beyond recall
Into a strain OF melody with soul-uplift

school bell.

Great suffering in Kentucky.

We have the very highest authority for
saying that B'rer Rabbit has about reach
ed the limit of his impudent and ruthless
depredations in the once proud State OF
Kentucky. The latest accounts from the
blue grass are to the effect that large
majority OF the population is living IN
barricaded houses, and has abandoned
the poultry, the young pigs, and all the
smaller and feebler domestic animals 20

first fought the invading horde, are now
out of ammunition. Those equally brave
but far more cautious citizens who look
ahead are saving their cartridges Tor

seemed imminent The situation, how
ever, is the same for all, the only differ
ence being that some viii perish help

themselves and their families rather than

In the Kentucky State Journal we find

issues a Macedonian cry for rescue. and
who is thus reported:
They had. he said, cleaned up all his late gar
den stuff. dined of his grass, barked has fruit

A LAY SERMON.
BY A LAyMAN.

And do not go near the water.

Mother. may ] 80 out to swimg
Oh yes Oh, yes my daughter
But hang your clothes on a hickory limb,
And do not go near the water.
The author of these lines evidently
intended to teach a lesson of parental
care. Learned commentators have diff
fered about the answer of the mother
some, perhaps the greater number, hav-
ing her refuse by saying, "oh, no; oh,
no, my daughter" but from very
careful study of the subject have come
TO the conclusion that the answer was
one of assent, as I give it above.
If she had announced her refusal she
would simply have said, "Oh. no; oh. no.
my daughter" and certainly would not
have advised her to hang her clothes on
a hickory limb.
The affirmative answer shows the
method Of an affectionate mother, by
which she hopes TO crafty, or rather
not to offend, her daughter, and yet
couple her assent with such terms as
really amount to a refusal. In this
she shows the parental instinct as well
as great acumen.
It may be said that her object was
to have her daughter avoid the danger
OF drowning, or. perhaps. only Of taking
cold. or she may have desired her to
take sun or an air bath The writer,
however, does not give US the time Of
year Of the important incident, hence
we can not settle the question.
Unfortunately for us the incident
closes without our being Informed as to
what action the daughter took. If the
