Fortunately, says Banker Clews. there has been some abatement in the activity of federal and state authori- ties against corporations, and in fu- ture these attacks are less likely to be of confiscatory nature than in the past. Both Governor Hughes action on the two-cent fare proposal and the temperate tone of the Interstate Commerce commission on the Harri- man investigation have had dis tinctly reassuring effect in financial circles. It would be a mistake. how ever, to suppose that all sorts of gov ernment activity towards corpora tions is likely to cease. On the con- trary 1t is almost certain to continue, but probably upon more conservative and less disturbing lines. It is a serious matter for the government to exercise its power in the direction of enforcing unprofitable rates, or in practical confiscation, or by violent disruption through receivers, or by stirring up popular prejudice through vindictive investigations and prosecu- tions. It is quite another thing to establish reasonable regulations gov erning and restraining great corpora tions in manner which shall be equitable to both owners and the pub- lie. The difference between two lines of policy is marked; and it is reassuring to know that the present tendency is towards the latter and against the former. AS the too vio- lent attitude of federal, state and municipal authorities towards corpor- ations has been one of the causes for the setback in confidence, the adop- tion of more moderate policy is of much importance to investors and the public alike. The other and chief causes of disturbance, over-issue of securities and over-extention of cred it, are slowly correcting themselves as result of the more conservative spirit in banking circles; a spirit that will have to be maintained for some time to come.

The most significant dispatch that has come out of Ohio is special com munication to the New York Times to the effect that even if the Ohio state central committee indorse Secretary Taft, Senator Foraker will ignore the committees action and work along national lines to beat MT Taft for the nomination with Governor Hughes In other words, Senator Foraker is going to strike directly at President Roosevelt and his future control of the republican party by forming a coalition with Governor Hughes to support him for the presidential nom- ination against the presidents choice, whom, it is generally conceded, is Secretary Taft. Thus does the fac tional fight in Ohio assume national proportions. Already is the evidence abundant that the battle has been carried into New York. For instance a we'll authenticated report from New York ascribes the defeat of the direct nominations bill of Governor Hughes by the assembly to the influence ex- erted against it by President Roose- welt, who 1t is alleged feared that the measure was a clever attempt to as- sure the election of Hughes delegates to the republican national convention next year.

The American minister at Caracas, says that the new Venezuelan nation al leper hospital on the seashore near La Guaira has been completed and is now ready for occupancy. The old hospital in Caracas has been aban- doned and the no leper patients have been transferred to the new hospital
 This transfer was made in the early hours of the morning, the English railway employing for the purpose a lot of old open freight cars, and the cars were all brought back to the Caracas station and burned. The new hospital is a very large and commo- dious building and is in an isolated spot on the seashore between Cape Blanco and MaiQuetia. -.,

light;
A star that trembled on the
With beams OF love and dreams
of home.
The bells rang DER the tossing
bars,
The white sails CLEANED be.
meath the stars;
But, fairer than all stars of
of night,
The barbUr light-the harbor
light!
And fast we fed from storm and
gloom
To smiling shores of light and
bloom;
The sorrow of the voyage past
Sang in the JOY of Home at
last"
Home! where the ship In shelter
rest;
Home! where the light-the
love is best!
Over the pIunging seas of night
Loves blessing in the harbor

Sometimes Trouble com e s
dressed so much like Joy that
he fools you tell he gets inside
the house and pulls his hat off.
Change is the law of nature.
You can't keep a IS bill long
before you'll need change.
Don't try to live in the stars.
IT you can just hold your own
in the low grounds of this old
world you'll be lucky.
Don't try 10 meet trouble on
the way. If you just have pa.
thence, it'll hit you before you

Even the poor man can see
money in his dreams. The only
trouble is-he has to wake uI
