Some writer's are trying to restore
the name of Moldo-WaIlachia. dis

an interesting young stranger was
presented. And now" she asked,

eyeglass to receive his bow. tell me

But at last they heard of him, and
in a way to create the utmost con-

all read the account of wealthy
ranch owner who was arrested and
held for trial on charges of former
dishonesty. How for years he had
commanded the universal respect OF
the community in which he lived:
how he had risen from being the man

governor fortunately was a man of

and beauty of Constance touched him,
for he was gallant man.
At all events, after some delay and
no little consideration, a full pardon
was granted Victor Hamilton, and
thenceforth he was free to travel as
he would, and without fear. 1t was

ARMY OF LAWMAKERS.
More .hnn 5000 Of Them Required
TO Frame Our Statutes.


There are S,155 lawmakers in the
United States, counting both State and
federal legislators and those who are en-
gagged in the framing of laws for Ha
waii and Porto Rico. These lawmakers
cost lot of money. In New York tie
members of the Assembly and Senators
used to get SO a day each, with the idea
that the session would last ON an average
of 100 days.
This limit was oyerrun so often bow
ever, that change was made some years
ago, the payment of each session being
fixed at 1900 for each of the 200 SEN
ators and Assemblymen or Just $500, GOO
year in salaries for the lawmakers them
selves. These salaries, of course, are only
a beginning in the annual cost of the
lawmaking mill; there are legislative EN-
ployes of many sorts ant grades; all
have to be paid, and the grand total would
be fortune every year for anybody with
notions of wealth below the multi-mill-
iOnaire level.
In most other States the pay is by the
day, ranging from So in Kansas and some
other States to IS in Florida. Penpsyl-
vania pays $1,000 a session, like New
York; Massachusetts, $3.50; Illinois. ST.
900; New Jersey, $500; Wisconsin, $500;
Mississippi, $500; Ohio, 5000; Iowa,
$3.50; Washington, $500, and Maine,
$3.50.
Such investigating committees as the
insurance committee. whose report is now
up in the New York Legislature, are a
fruitful source of cost, and years when
such Investigations are made the law
making expense is increased in New Ycrt
by many thousands of dollars.

Mrs. Ana E. Peterson and Mrs Chris
tine Schaefer, two pioneer women of
the city, unconsciously rounded a most
striking parallel in life history, says
the st. Louis GlObe-Democrat. Born
eighty-six years ago in Germany, both
came to this country when young and
located in St Louis, where each had
lived continuously since. They were
both married soon after arriving here
and each was the mother of a large
family. The descendants of both have
entered into the business life of the
city and won for themselves a place in
the esteem of their fellow citizens.
Both of the aged women have lived
in the same part of the city, yet they
never met Attending the same place
of worship, they were unknown to
each other. Their children discovered
the remarkable similarity in the lives
of the two women after their deaths.
Mrs. Schaefer lacked but three
months of being Sc years old She was
born in Gross, Rallenbach. Germany,
and when - years of age was brought
by her parents to this city. She had
lived here ever since coming to st
Louis When a young girl she was
married to William Newman, and one
daughter by that union survives.

Bill TO Incorporate Company Is
Presented in Congress.
The bill to incorporate the Lake Erie
and Ohio River Ship Canal Company was
taken up by the House by the vote of 1S6
to 81. Chairman Davidson (Republi-
cam of Wisconsin of the committee on
railways and canals said this would be
the last link in the chain of waterways
from New York - New Orleans. over
which the commerce of twenty-four States
could go, and las canals everywhere
have proved to be, would be a regulator
of railway rates" Leader Williams of
the minority said he suspected that the
franchise had already been turned over
to the Pennsylvania railroad or some
other railroad interest at Pittsburg. His
objection to the bill was that the govern
ment surrendered its power over a river
and harbor improvement to a private COR
poration. Mr.. Dalzell (Republican( of
Pennsylvania, who is the author Of the
bill, declared it to be great nationa.
project, the construction of which wouli
not cost the government a penny. He
said that the idea of connecting the lakes
and the Ohio had been advocated as far
back as 1924, when the government made
the first surveys.

TRUSTS ARE aiT.
Supreme Court Decides They Must

Supreme Court Decides They Must

Corporations can not receive immu-

and corporation officials must testify
when called before grand juries. Off
GERS of corporations may be granted
immunity as individuals, but must pro-
duce evidence to convict the corpora

corporations are creations of a sover-
eign power and are not privileged to
commit any Illegal act or possess any
thing unlawful. When corporation
does either it is placed beyond the pale
Of constitutional protection.
This is the principle laid down by
decisions Of the United States Supreme
Court in four cases affecting the paper
and tobacco trusts. The result will be
that all corporations must produce
their books and papers when actions
are brought against them by the gov
eminent and witnesses may be com
PEELED to answer all questions Indi-
vidauls may have immunity from self

individuals.
1t is possible under the Supreme
Courts decisions for the Department Of
Justice absolutely to prevent the COM
mission of Illegal and unlawful acts by
any corporation. No corporation against
which proceedings are instituted here
after can avoid convicting itself if any
of its acts have been Illegal, A cor

Two opinions were rendered regard

and Justice McKenna on the paper
trust. Justice McKenna read his deci-

Justice Browns opinions, which follow

A PICTURE SERMON.
Cartoon Which Shows the Root of
the Boy-Bnndit EVIL.


the Boy-Bnndit EVIL.
The cities and towns of the country
are having an epidemic Of crime OF
greater or lesser degree In which the
offenders are mere boys who have
started on the wrong path so early In
life that for them the outlook is any
thing but encouraging. A strong ser
mon on the cause of this youthful vice
was preached the other day by Nc
Cutcheon, the cartoonist Of the Chicago
Tribune. His picture showed a father
and mother sitting by the fireside, the
father reading and the mother sew
Ing. Where's Willie to-night?" asks
the father. Il don't know" replied
the mother, do you want him?" mo"
says the father, Il just wondered
where he was"
That is the picture, but what q
story it tells. That boy is on danger
GUS ground when he is away from home
evenings and his parents do not know
where he is or what he is doing The
worst may be imagined when parents
are so careless OF the welfare of their
boys that they permit them to have the
run of the town without knowing their
environments and associations. The
temptations of the cities are so varied
and alluring that men and women of
experience fall 1t Is not to be won
dered, therefore, that youth becomes
an easy victim.
The situation is so grave that the
question should be handled plainly
Who is ct fault? Primarily the par
ents. When fathers and mothers are
unconcerned as to where their bows
are after night, they are giving an
impetus to the wave of crime. Juve-
nile courts are unit in demanding
such changes in the laws as will nor
NIT them to punish careless parents
rather rhan their erring children and
common sense proves the need of sucb
modification.
Parents who bring children into the
world are bound by every law of na.
ture to protect and guide them tbroupb
the formative period, and they should
be compelled to do so by statute or suf
fer a severe penalty. The parent
knows the pitfalls of the city and
town, and it should be his duty as
well as pleasure to guide the feet of
his children until they arrive at the
years of understanding If this were
done. the road 70 ruin would have
fewer travellers, and more boys would
elect to become worthy citizens.
No boy starts out with the aim and
ambition to become a bad man. All his
aspirations are to be a useful citizen,
and if he is properly protected during
his teens. the chances are he will land
all right. And to whom should society
and the state lock for his proper care
during these critical years, if not to the
parents? They cannot shirk the re-
.s1Onsibility.
What is true of the boy, is in a vet
greater degree true of the girl. If the
home is not made a haven for the
youth, then, indeed, are society and
the nation in danger.
Where are your boy and your girl
