REMEDY FOR ABUSES.

Personally l firmly believe that there should
he national legislation to control all industrial
corporations doing interstate business, in
Guiding the control of the output OF their Secu
rites but TO these the necessity for federal
control is less urgent and immediate than is the
case with the railroads. Many Of the abuses
connected with these corporations will probably
tend to disappear that the government
the public-is gradually getting the upper hand
regards putting stop to the rebates ana
special privileges which some of these corpora
tions have enjoyed at the hands OF the common
carriers But ultimately it will be found that
the complete remedy for these abuses lies i'll
direct and affirmative action by the national
government. That there is constitutional power
for the national regulation of these corporations
I have myself no question. Two or three gener-
ations ago there was just as much hostility to
national control of banks there is to ma
tiona control Of railroads or of industrial cor
porations doing an interstate business. That
hostility seems TO us ludcrOuS in its lack
of warrant; in like manner. gentlemen, our de-
scendants will regard with wonder the present
opposition to giving the national government
ADEQUATE power TO control those great corpora
tions which it alone can fully and yet wisely.
safely and justly control. Remember also that
TO regulate the formation of these corporations
offers one OF the most direct and efficient meth
ods of regulating their activities.
NOT URGING GENERALIZATION,
l am not pleading for extension of consti-
tutional power. 1 am pleading that constitu-
tiouai power which already exists shall be ap-
pled TO new conditions which did not exist when
the Constitution went into being. / ask that the
national powers already conferred upon the
be so used as TO bring national commerce ana
industry effectively under the authority of the
FEDERAL government and thereby avert industrial
chaos My plea is not to bring about condi-
tion of Capitalization. 1t is that the government
shall recognize a condition Of Capitalization in
field where II already exists. When the national
banking law was passed it represented in real
ity not Capitalization but recognition of the
fact that the country had so far advanced that
the currency was already matter of national
concern and must be dealt with by the central
authority at Washington. So II is with inter-
state industrialism and especially with the mat
ter Of interstate railroad operation to-day. Cen
tralzation mas already taken place in the world
of commerce and industry. All | ask is that the
national government look this fact in the face
accept il as a fact. and fit itself accordingly
for a policy OF supervision and control over this
centralized commerce and industry.
SPEAKS AT BANQUET.
After the address, the President and the other
visitors were guests of the ST. Louis Business

Qualities Of Bees Sting.
THE bees sting is a trowel, not
rapier," said a nature student as he
heh,ed himself to honey. 1T is an eS-
quistely delicate little trowel WITH
which the bee finishes off the hoL ey
cell, injects a little preservatiye IN
side and seals it up. With its trowes
like sting the bee puts the fnai
touches on its dainty and wondereui
work. With its sting 1t pats and
shapes the honey cell as mason pat;
and shapes a row of brick. Before
sealing up the cell il drops a wee LIZ
Of poison into the honey. This is for
mic acid; without it honey would
spoil.
"nost of us think the bees sting.
with its poison, is z weapon only. II
is a weapon secondarily, but primarfs
1t is a magic trowel, trowel frcia
whose end as the honey cells are
built up wonderful preserving fluid
drips."
