Uncle Sam Not
Going Into Business.
BY Attorney General BONAPARTE.

BY Attorney General BONAPARTE.
- HE GOVERNMENT HAS NO IDEA OF GOING INTO THE
BUSINESS OF RUNNING THE TRUSTS. THE RECEIVER
SHIP APPLICATION FOR THE SO CALLED TOBACCO
TRUST Is MERELY A MEANS OF RELIEF, JUST As ANY
RECEIVER MIGHT BE CALLED UPON TO ADMINISTER A
CORPORATION IN THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ATTAINING CERTAIN TEMPORARY ENDS. IT IS
TRUE THAT IT IS A NEW DEPARTURE IN EQUITY PRACTICE, BUT
THERE ARE ANALoGiEs WHICH SUSTAIN IT.
The theory is that if a court Of equity finds a corporation or cluster
of corporations engaged in an UNLAWFUL business it will utilize
all Of its ACCUSTOMED AGENCIES to put a end to this unlaw-
full business, because of the illegaity of the business.
The court is to be asked to appoint an officer who will Temporal
RILY conduct the affairs of the corporation " corporations involved,
SO as to gradually eliminate the unlawful features while PRESERV-
ING so FAR AS POSSIBLE THE LEGITIMATE INTER
ESTS OF ALL CONCERNED from injury during the process of
adjustment.
The prayer for this relief, if sustained by the courts, will, it is
hoped, prove a PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE method of insur-
ing obedience to the law in cases where there seems to be much danger
of evasion.

Railroads WeiGhed
In the Balance and
Found Wanting.

HE railroads until now have been permitted to WELD
- WITHOUT ANY REAL CONTROL the enor-
mousy important franchise of furnishing transporta-
ton to the entire country. They have constructed
100000 miles of road. In certain respects they have
- done A MARVELLOUS WORK and have afforded
transportation at a cheaper rate per ton per mile and per passenger
than in any other country in the world.
THEY HAVE, HOWEVER, MANY OF THEM, sHAMELEssLY vo.
LATED THE TRUST OBLIGATION THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER TO
THE PUBLIC OF FURNISHING EQUAL FACILITIES At THE GAME
PRICE TO ALL SHIPPERS.
The WATERING OF STOCKS AND BONDS AND THE
OVERCAPITALIZATION OF SOME OF THEM for the profit
of their managers have prevented the NEEDED improvement Of
their railroads in construction and equipment. The tremendous de-
mand for increased facilities due to the enormous growth of business
shows the INADEQUACY of their equipment and construction.
While they might not have been expected to meet in full such an ex-
%traordinary demand, the obligations some of them have assumed in
the form of stocks and bonds leave no doubt that had the money they
represented been put into the roads IN GOOD FAITH the shortage
Of cars and equipment and inadequacy of roadbed and track would not
be so great. They discharge public function.
WANTING. THE REMEDY FOR THE EVILS MUST BE RADICAL
TO BE EFFECTIVE. IF IT IS NOT so, THEN WE MAY CERTAINLY
EXPECT THAT THE MOVEMENT TOWARD GOVERNMENT OWNER.
SHIP WILL BECOME A FORMIDABLE ONE THAT CANNOT BE
STAYED.

Society Women Ought

Mothsra Win q Purnn..

A brilliant young woman was recent
" talking Of two Of the older women
Of her relationship whom she greatly
admired. They had both aimed at the
education Of their children and had
succeeded in their aim, sending forth
from their homes men and women OF a
high type. They had accomplished
their end by much self denial and hard
ship. She said OF these relatives: ''They
both had a purpose and never lost
sight Of It. They carried out their pur-
pose The trouble with me, 1 think,
is that have no purpose. They want
ed the right things, and they went aft
er them and got them. do not want
the right things, though l want to want
them. suppose do not want to want
them hard enough. Grandmother and
aunt wanted the right things hard. and
they got them. What most Of us need
Is more purpose" She Is a good wom-
an as well as a bright one, is a fine
mother and wife, and possibly her
Judgment OF herself was a little harsh,
says Calvin Dill Wilson in the Moth
ct y NldEaLlllts GulIOuuQtu Hl AuAu-
ries, she does not have the same IN
centive to effort In the same direction
as her relatives. who had to make a
struggle for the education of their
children.
Her children win be educated with
out her self denial. Yet IN her favor
able conditions she recognized the su-
periority of the women with a pur-
pose and felt that in her own life and
in that Of many OF her acquaintances
some great thing was lacking-a pur-
pose. The mothers who are struggling
may be encouraged by the thought that
their sisters, who seem to have so
much more than they and seem to be
in enviable environments, really in
their hearts look with admiration and
awe upon those who are struggling to-
ward a noble end. The mothers with
a purpose, WAC "want the right things
and want them hagd and 90 after
ehea.' command the respect Of all.

Discretion Needed

While It may be beyond human
power to avoid making enemies in this
life. nobody will attempt to deny that
vast amount Of carelessness is ex-
hibited in the treatment Of those who
are likely to be vindictive when occa-
sion arises. II is the worst blunie
a woman can make, for reputation is
one of her most valuable assets, and
most perishable also.
Men can walk through double lines
Of unfriendly faces and suffer little
from the experience. Possibly an enc
my's influence may affect his business,
though that does not happen often. Ger
tsinly it does his character little or
no injury and does not affect his social
standing. But woman can be hum
bled in the dust by malicious tongue
and malice is a. common weapon. When
you find a woman with a guarded ton
que, you see one with few enemies.
probably none save those who are ac-
tuated by envy and jealousy, and those
are not OF the really dangerous type.
It requires some degree Of cleverness
to steer clear of such pitfalls as ma
lice. The average woman is gifted
with Intelligence enough to look care
fully to her own interests in many di-
rections. and it would be largely to her
advantage to give the department OF
discretion some extra attention Speech
and written thoughts are both too free
ly indulged in for safety.
No person is so humble but what
their kindly feeling is OF more value
than their malice.

4 Beauty Hint

Two simple and inexpensive arucfes
OF diet that are excellent for the COM
plexion and system generally are not
eaten as much as they should be. They
are green salads Of any sort. with
French dressing oil. pepper. salt and
vinegar, and oranges. The latter can
not be too highly advocated. Occasion
ally there Is a person with whom they
disagree radically, but this is the ex-
ceptlon, and individuals who cannot
eat @hy other fruit will thrive upon
oranges.
This particular form Of fruit is nour-
ishing, its action upon the digestion is
peculiarly beneficial, and therefore It
is clearing to the skin. A dozen a day
is none too many to eat II person
wishes.
If, however, they have not been eat
ing them, It would be well to begin
gradually. Before breakfast take the
juice Of one strained. This is given to
babies and is more easily digested than
when the pulp remains in. If, how
ever the digestion is good, there is no
objection to the pulp. II Is better
however, always when possible to
eject the fine inner skin, and under no
circumstances should the tough white
underskin be eaten, for It is one Of the
most indigestible vegetable forms
grown.
Another orange may be eaten an
hour after breakfast IL wished, and
couple at luncheon is none too many.
After that one or two at a time at in
tervals OF two hours may be taken,
with some just before going to bed.
At this 'last time they will frequently
induce sleep. 1t is not, Of course, nee
essary to eat so many, but they Will
take the place Of other food. Always
buy a good quality and be sure they
are not overripe.
For girls working In offices oranges
are Invaluable food If they did but
know it. One after luncheon will piece
out that meal most satisfactorily, and
many times 1t would be possible to
have one Of the fruit kept In a desk
drawer to be eaten in the afternoon
when one Is tired. at the same time not
stopping work. A little food is a great
stimulant when body and mind are
fatigued.
