Some Difficult Questions.

A contributor to the Farm Journal
asks several questions which are not
easy to answer satisfactorily:
Why it is so much easier to put up
the bars after the cattle are in the
corn than it is before.
Why we do not investigate the land
agent or the commission merchant be-
fore we send him our money or Our
butter or fruit, instead of waiting to
do it afterward.

as she subsidized, shivering and crying,

His frame shook with great, fearless
sobs.
For moment Hilda was too shock
ed to know what to say or do, but
while she waited silently she thought
out a plan. It was late in the after
noon, and the rain was beginning to
fall.
"Perhaps you would deliver the
things she said. "You could close
the shop early. 1t is not likely many
people would come tonight, is it? And
then you could see her I am sure
you would be happier if you knew
how round and plump and dear she
is" Then, as he hesitated, "My uncle
will be glad to have you see what a
good doctor T am" And he promis-
ed to come.
1t was after eight, when he arrived,
and the girls uncle and her old bach
elor cousin made him as welcome for
her sake as if he had been all the de-
sirable things he evidently was not.
There was something almost painful
in his joy over the rescued kitten, and
he touched her as if she were little
child Very ha1ting1y he told the sto

content, and her running away to earn
her own living and be free of his re-
stralnt. And when he went back to
his menagerie he carried with him
hope that he might still find his own
little one, and save her from danger
and hardship.
After that, every two or three weeks
the old man slipped quietly in for half
an hour and slipped away again, like
an unobstructive shadow, always
bringing some small offering for the
kitten Something of the pity the girl
had felt for the animal was trans

Witnessed the Tragedy.

James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary Of
the Interior. was standing by the side
of bis father in the Pennsylvania Rail
road station in this city on that fatefui
day in July. 1851 when the assassin s
bullet for the second time dealt death to
a President of the United States. The
Secretary was then only seventeen years
old-just the age when the average mimi
is most susceptible TO impressions. Close
friends say that the horror of that
hideous tragedy has never fully left Mr
Garfield's mind, ana some of them be
lieve that its effects account for the
half-sad expression that always fingers
in his face. even when he smiles or
laughs. Ii is stated that only on the
rarest occasions and with his most
intimate friends does he discuss the
tragedy which shocked the world and

Ineffective CORPORATION Law.

The pressing need of sound corporation
legislation is strongly urged in a pamphlet
by J. Selwyn TAFT. OF this city, wherein
he points out the unprotected condition of
the stockholder under the laws governing
corporations i'm this country. To give the
stockholder the protection that is his due.
Mr. TAFT would have all charters Of in
corporation based on the general principle
that the business Of the corporation
should be conducted in broad daylight
in other words. the principle of publicity.
This alone Mr.. TAFT believes. without any
government examination or supervision.
would enable the stockholder to protect
himself, instead Of being at the mercy Of
a clique Of directors who are able TO con-
ceal their operations not only from the
public, but from the actual owners Of the
properties they manage.
As to the matter Of capitalization, Mr..
TAFT says that 1T is both rational and es-
sential that such safeguards should be
thrown around the issue of stocks as
shall make the public feel safe in invest
ing i'm them. also, that stocks should
represent actual existing values, and not
a more or less optimistic estimate of fu-
ture profits. or, what is still worse, a
fictitious value placed upon the property
by the owner and his associate pro-
moters." This is the end toward which.
so far as interstate corporations are con-
cerned, Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers
are working, and it agrees substantially
with the views expressed by AIr. Bryan.
and by many other students of the cor
poration question. Mr. TAFT, too. favors
a national corporation law. following
somewhat the analogy OF the national
bank act.
1t is a curious fact. as Mr.. TAFT shows,
that after more than twenty years Of
anti-corporation agitation, and a great
deal of supposedly anti-CorDoration legis-
latiOn. the bulk of our corporation law.
as to regUlative efficacy. should compare so
unfavorably with that Of. England and Ger
many. One Of the reasons. doubtless. is that
corporation legislation has been made a
football of party politics, and so has been
antagOnistic rather than remedial in char
aCter. Popular Outcry against trusts. in
articulate and often unreasoning. has
given many time-serving politicians op-
portunity for leadership which they have
seized without any intention or capacity
Of dealing with the real evils of the situ-
alton in an effective way. Much Of the
corporation legislation decorating our
statute books is more spectacular than
operative. tending to lull the public into
a fancied security from evils which have
never been actually eradicated
The present need, therefore is for sound
legislation upon the lines experience has
shown to be essential to the protection of
investors and the public. Ii is time 20
have done with the Down with the
trusts slogan Of the hustings, and to
approach the corporation problem from a
saner point Of view. and with the purpose
Of settling it without uprooting tie indus
trial fabric or imposing on the govern
ment burdens unsuitable to its constitu-
ton. To this saner view Mr.. TAFT has
made worthy contribution.
