JUDGE GROSSCUP'S REMEDY.

Peter S. Grosscup. judge of the fed
eral circuit court of appeals, is a jurist
who thinks about many Other things
than the cases that come before him.
He has been thinking a good bit about
the corporation problem, and in a re-
cent issue of the Outlook asks whether
we are on the right track. He points
out, justly enough that thus far the
abatement of corporation evils has been
sought in but two ways-by denuncia-
ton and by lawsuits. The principal
proponents of the former are men like
Hearst and Bryan, and of the latter,
men like Roosevelt and Hughes. There
is. of course the solution offered by the
socialist of government ownership. so
repugnant to the American individual
istic ideal, to the instinct for property
ownership, which has been the MAIN
spring Of our development from colo
NAL times.
Competition is not to be restored by
making the corporation an alien. Nor,
in Judge GrOsscups view, is it to be
restored by lawsuits. When corpora
tons are enjoned from conspiring to
fix prices, they merge naturally into
one large corporation, which cannot be
reached by existing law. The policy
of isolating the corporation, whether
by denuncation or by lawsuits, can
never build up competitors, can never
restore to the people the ownership of
property which is rapidly being taken
away from them
What then, is Judge Grosscup's So
luton? In a word, he would have the
corporation itself reformed and made
republican. The reconstructed corpor-
alton must have no place in it for
schemes of spoilation that plumber
either those whose capital has created
1t or those whose patronage supports
it. Securities issued must have some
regulated relation to the values ac-
tually put in The officers must be
held to strict accountability as trus-
tees and not permitted to make profit
out of their trust. There must be tan
gible inducements to every employs
from highest to lowest to secure a
share in the proprietorship.
Judge Grosscup- points out that Ger
many some thirty years ago went
through such a period of reconstruct
ton and that principles substantially
identical with those he lays down now
rule in that country. Officers and di-
rectors are not supreme in Germany,
and shareholders meetings are as DEM
ocratic as the New England town
meeting. No new corporation can be
organized until it has proved its right
to existence and had its capitalization
carefully scrutinized. The result is
that proprietorship is distributed among
the people. not concentrated in a few
hands. To this policy is attributable
in large measure the astounding
growth of modern German Industrial
ism. 1t is noteworthy that the attacks
OF socialism are directed solely at the
unjust landed proprietor and its corol-
larry of militarism
Altogether Judge Grosscup's discus
sion is illuminating. Probably he
would not have the government dis
continue its effects to force corpora
tons to obey the existing laws. But

The Bellboy.

George c. BOldt. the noted hotel
dress before an association of hotel
clerks in New York:
"A spirit of willing service, of eager
helpfulness, goes far toward bringing
| success in the hotel business.
Let me illustrate the spirit 1 mean
| by an account of different spirit.
"A hotel man in New Hampshire was
surprised to see one of his women
guests come downstairs several nights
running, fill her pitcher from the water
cooler in the hall, and return quietly to
her room again.
AT first he thought the lady had
some special reason for this queer per-
Torrance. Then he thought he had
better speak to her. Accordingly, on
the fourth or fifth night, he approached
her politely. took the pitcher from her
hands. and filled it himself.
IF you would ring, madam he said
this would be always done for you.
There is no occasion for you to come
down yourself for water. A ring
but l have no bell said the lady.
"'Oh, madam, of course you have a
bell. I'll show it to you
"And he carried the pitcher up to
her room for her, and pointed to the
bell beside her bed.
THAT is the bell he said.
The lady started in surprise.
THAT the bell" she exclaimed.
Why, the bellboy told me that was
it on any account except in case of
fire."

mand of the royal guards, the conspira-
tors intrigue to overthrow the reign
ing government. At the court is a
most gracious and beautiful young
woman, the Countess Hilda Won Draga.
| She is loved by both the crown prince
and the captain, but to the latter her
heart has flown. Captain Travors ac-
quaints his sweetheart with the doings
of the conspirators and she, finding
that his designs are retarded by lack
of money, takes to the road disguised
as free rider and soon becomes
famed as Red Feather. From the rich

QUESTION OF MORAL WORTH.

Down at Fort Collins the other day
the bankers of Colorado held a on
vention and threw many beautiful
bouquets at the Poudre valley nj in.
cidentally at themselves and their bus
mess, The president of the ~associa
ton, in the course of an eloquent adj
dress, said: "The greatest question
for a banker to decide is the one of
moral worth. 1t is the best asset a
man has in the world, and the world
is full of men who mean to do exactly
right, and whose ideas of honor are in
flexible. This is the basis upon which
many a poor man has slowly but sure
ly risen to place and fortune"
Bankers above all others realize the
value of a good name. Moral worth
is held higher in their estimation than
good security. Security often van
ishes, but character rarely ever. There
is nothing SO valuable as the reputa-
ton for doing exactly as n agrees
to do.
A little further along in his remarks
the president paid this beautiful trib-
ute to womanhood.
There is but one road to success,
1t is that which gives you peace of
mind and contentment. 1t "a this

greed and gain, that which might en-
rich you and ~impoverish another. It
was not in her to bid you to bring
grief and sorrow, trial and spoliation,
to the quiet and humble fireside where
in trusting confidence you held a
place, that you might fill your own
miserable purse with filthy offerings
"a practice so common in this day
and time and chronicled as success.

his money till after he had received
