parently the two corporations are dis
tinct. What IN certain IL that the Star
Company when assessed for taxation
petitioned on February "a. 1909. to be
relieved from taxes on the plea that IL
possessed no taxable property but was
simply the holder OF stock in certain
corporations for which IL had issued
bonds. In other words. the Star Com
pany is a holding company the pre-
cise counterpart Of the Northern Securi-
ties Company. which used TO be held UP
to adherence in the editorials and car
toons Of the Hearst newspapers.
That is to say, HEARST not only unites
in his own person three corporations
but personifies the concentrated essence
Of Trusts. The Star Company Is not the
only one Of his corporations which has
evaded the payment Of taxes. In the
same month Of February, 1908, the New
York Evening Journal Publishing Com
pany and Das Morgen journal Asso-
citation petitioned to be relieved from
taxation on the ground that their debts
exceeded their assets. In other words,
II you want 10 sue HEARST or collect
taxes from him he slips behind his cor
porations, and II you next bring action
against them you find that there is
nothing to sue against. That such sham
corporations are serviceable to HEARST
is plain enough, but whether they are
serviceable to the community at large
is a different question.
The truth about HEARST in his cor
porate capacity seems to be that each Of
his three newspapers in the city Of New
York is incorporated separately, and that
all three are consolidated in the control
OF a holding company similar in all re-
spects to the holding company which
constitutes the Standard Oil Trust, the
Sugar Trust or the Tobacco Trust.
Against these corporations actions for
libel, the damages claimed in which
aggregate hundreds Of thousands of
dollars, are now pending in the courts.
HEARST objects to the nominees for
seats on the bench Of the State Supreme
Court who have been put forward by
a large body of lawyers, on the ground
that some OF them may have been recon-
mended by corporations, and in the
same breath designates nominees Of his
own for the same seats who will owe
their nominations to the three corpora
tons which he personiies.
Not only is HEARST in his own person
three corporations and a trust, but his
treatment of individual small dealers is
precisely that which he denounces as
Characteristic Of the Standard Oil Trust.
A retail news dealer named THEODORE
SPEYERER OF Corona, l.. l., has been
compelled to issue a notice to his Gus
toners informing them that an agent OF
HEARST called on him on a date speci-
fed and commanded him to cease selling
all editions Of the World on the penalty
of having his supply Of all editions Of
the journal and American cut of. He
adds that previously, by a similar threat,
he had been compelled to abandon the
sale Of the Globe. That is to say, the
Hearst corporations force retailers to
handle their products alone, the exact
kind Of oppression for which the Hearst
newspapers arraign the Oil Trust and
the Tobacco Trust.
As Mr.. HUGHES says, sincerity is the
keynote of his canvass, and hypocrisy
Of his opponents.

LOST CHILDREN.
Another Case In which M Police Hun
dcred.

To rHE EDITOR or THE SuN-,Sfr. The srtIcls
In TIE SUN entitled a Lost Boy" reminds me OF
an experience concerning q boy something under
ten years OF age. whose failure to return home had
been reported TO the police. A few years ago
just before midnight. the boy was discovered In q
small coal boz which stood outside OF q grocery
store. The grocer had been previously robbed.
and having. from his home across the street, Oh
served the boy enter the box. he became suspicious
and Immediately went over to the store. lie In
formed a friend and myself later that he had been
waiting fully an hour for a policeman 70 appear.
When we arrived at the spot the policeman had
reached there just before and was trying to get
some Information from the boy. who was then
standing on the sidewalk. The boy acted ina
da1ed manner. and / do not doubt that had he
remained In the box much longer his life would
probably have gone out.
The boy could not recall his name or address or
give any about himself for some tine.
The policeman was reluctant TO take him to the
station house. as II was almost time for his own
relief. In fact. his relief came up a moment after.
and there were at least three policemen present.
The boy finally mumbled out a certain street and
number. and my friend and | volunteered TO taEs
him there. which We did. but the address was In.
correct. We then took the boy to another house.
which turned out to have been his former home.
and Il was there we learned where the boys par
ents were living. We nnally got him home. Ills
mother was sitting up alone waiting for the father,
who was searching for the boy. We learned from
the mother that the case had been reported 10 the
police. We stopped at the station house on our
way back and notined the desk sergeant that ihs
boy had been found, The sergeant told rs ihAt
notice had been given to the patrolmcn. TIE
three policemen who saw the boy were from tho
station house where the notice was sent. and yi
not one Of them seemed to have the fainteS' Enowl'
edge that an alarm had been given concerning
lost boy.

Laughter Aids Digestion.

Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time in the home. There Is
a vital connection between amiability
and digeStion-betWcCn good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has. and depression. or
mclancholia. its worst enemy. NumCr-
Gus experiments have shown that
mirth and cheCrfulness stimulate the
secretion of the gastric juices. and are
powerful aids to digestion. Yet, know
ing this, many of us sit as gloomy and
absorbed at the table as at a funeral.
In many homes. scarcely a word is
spoken at meals. outside of requests
for an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some

measures passed by the House Mon

Mr.. Mann said that 931 railroad en-

MoFFAT ROAD PROGRESS.
Completion Of Its Own Line Into the
Denver Depot.

1enycr.-After four wears of hard
work the Moffat railroad has at last
built into Denver, says the Repubii-
can, Saturday morning. At G O'Clock
las evening when the engine of the
construction train gave Il long, loud
whistle calling the men to knock off -
worls it was at the Denver, Northwest
ern ( Pacifics own depot at Fifteenth
and Bassett streets.
Superintendent Deuel. does not know
exactly when the company Will begin
using its own tracks, but it will be just
as soon as possible. At present the
company has an arrangement with the
Burlington road, which handles all its
trains in and out of the city. delivering
them at Utah Junction. This is very
expensive, costing not less than Sl0O
a day, it is said.
Mr.. Moffat said yesterday that he
does not expect to get the road built
through to Salt Lake before the end
Of the two years. They are prepared
to put large force at work and rush
it, but it cannot be done unless labor
ers can be had. They can use 1000
men this summer If they can be had,
but there is a demand all over the
West for them. The Western Pacific
can use 5000 to 10000 Of them in its
work.
The contracts are let for the Moffat
road to the firms now at work on the
line to Daniels pass, within thirty
miles of Heber, Utah. From this point
into Salt Lake the road will parallel

MOROCCO CASE SETTLED.
Germany and France Reach Satlsfae-
tory Agreement.

AlgeciraS, Spain.-The committee OF
the conference on Moroccan reforms

This agreement was sanctioned at the
plenary session OF the conference Fri
day afternoon.
The complete accord resulted from
long conference held Saturday morn
ing between NJ Revolt. head of the
French mission, and Count Won Tat
tenbach of the German mission.
The causes of the long dispute over
Moroccan affairs, which led France
and Germany to the brink of war and
impelled the calling of an international
conference, were that the empire Of
Morocco, an absolute despotism, has
been in a state or turmoil for
many years past. owing to the
natural course of events in Il
country unrestricted by any laws
civil OF religious, and also on account
of the steady warfare which the Sui
tan. Mulai Abd-el-AZiz. has had to
wage against the pretenders to the
throne
This caused feeling of uneasiness
among the Arab tribes in Algeria. the
adjoining French territory, and led to
efforts on the part of France to assume
a guardianship over Morocco. Ger

agree to this, being second only to
GreaU Britain in the extent OF her in
