antipOdai isle and at present soJournlng
in Washington. There, il appears, all
the radical reforms that can be sug-
gested for the adjustment of society
have budded into laws and lowered into
practice. The government down there
has usurped all the prerogatives and
functions which J. PierpOnJ Morgan,

Here is the list of functions that the
authorities there have had thrust upon
them by law:
