sued here played an important part
in the romantic and stormy life of
Theodore Harvey, of Michigan City,

Harvey was credited with owning a
farm and other property worth $780,

the contending parties agreed on a
financial settlement, the wife receiv-

did not give up the case, has won and

A Curious BOSSiSm.

News comes from Wisconsin that
the La Toilette machine has an
nounced a program for the States
politics for the next few years.
Briefly, it is proposed, first, TO bend
every energy to getting La Toilette
nominated and elected President;
second. to have Francis z. Mellow.
ern, the Doodle prosecutor OF Mil
waukee county, elected governor;
and, third, TO send Irvine L. Lenroot
TO the Senate in place of Stephen
son, when his term shall expire.
The odd thing about this program
is not that such careful figuring is
unusual, but rather, the frankness
with which it is announced. That is
the difference between the neSv kind
of bosses and the old. La Toilette
and Cummins are bosses just as
much as Platt and Quay were in
their time. But they do things diff
ferently. They tell the community
Just what they are planning to do
TO IT.. Instead of secrecy, they use
publicity as their most effective
weapon. They prepare a program,
and ask the people 10 indOrse it..
They assure that the people will get
q real chance in the game, by put
ting the matter up to a Statewide
voting primary. The primary makes
the-uld kind of bossism about i'm
possible, and gives the new kind
which is really leadership rather
than bossism-a chance to earn just
what it deserves.

report Of an interesting feud between
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid. another Of

Robert J. wynne, consul general TO
London. Mr.. Wynne was Postmaster
General before he became consul gen
eral, and the stories that he has been
violently snubbed by the diplomatic rep
resentaton there have not been cheer
fully received. II has been explained
that the attaches and secretaries Of the
embassy have assumed general social
precedence over Mr.. Wynne and his
wife on the ground that diplomacy
proper was superior 70 the mere con
sular service, which represented merely
trade interests. This may be good ETH

Fairbanks in Verse.

Indiana takes just pride in its lit
erary lights. The atmosphere of
the Hoosier State seems to be par
ticularly conducive TO the making Of
successful novels, plays, and verse.
Much of this literary output has a
local setting, wherefore it cannot
be denied that novelists, play
wrights, and poets find satisfactory
inspiration in the life and manners
of their State.
As an inspirer of poesy no one
excels Charles Warren Fairbanks. A
week ago we presented TO our read
ers a poetic composition which be
brated the Vice Presidents oratori-
cal powers. Today, we respectfully
submit a poem called forth from the
pen of Stuart Maclean by the recent
rescue incident in the carer of Mr..
Fairbanks. The verses are entitled,
Nearly Saved by Mr.. Fairbanks"
and are as follows:
I'm the little girl was nearly saved by
Mr.. Fairbanks
When I fell into the lake at Yellow
stone,
When / gurgled In the water In a way
/ hadn't ought ITO,
And I screamed out in loud and pierre
ing tone.
Mr.. Fairbanks. he was sitting on the
Reading articles on How to Grow
I was saved from being saved by Mr..
Fairbanks
BY the fact that Mr.. Fairbanks
wasn't there
I'm the girl was nearly saved by Mr..
From the waters,of the icy inland sea,
Twas n cruel trick OF fate he was half
an hour late.
But Mr.. Fairbanks nearly rescued me,
When you read the advertisements in
the papers.
Please remember I'm the only one
there Is
Who can furnish up the pageant for an
up-to-date press agent,
Provided that he understand his biz;
Though it's true that all the wet on

But the thing that was the worst wa
that others saw me first,

tor, we venture to assert that Mr.

or carving occasional melons by
making distributions of extra divi-
dends 10 its stockholders, then the
stockholders are not, in good eco
Monies, good morals, or sound public
policy, entitled to ask the privilege
of issuing additional capitalization
as soon as their corporation, depre-
ciated in physical condition or out
grown by the demands of the COM
munity, becomes unequal to the de-
mands upon it. The people who
have enjoyed the excessive profits
should provide, to the extent of
that excess at least, the working
capital.
The rule is now thoroughly estab-
lished, in this country and in every
other progressive one, that capitali-
cation. must not be so high as to
impose an unfair burden on the
public. That is, it must be sufficient
to meet the reasonable, legitimate
business needs of the corporation,
and not more.
If the Georgetown Gas Company
is found, on inquiry, TO be asking
the privilege of capitalizing better
ments which it has paid for from
surplus earnings, the privilege
should be denied. If it is found to
have been paying excessively large
dividends while failing to care for
its property or to make needed eX-
tensions, likewise the privilege
ought to be denied. 1t would be
denied in Massachusetts under the
administration by the gas commits
sion of that State; it would be de-
MED in England under the corpora
ton system in vogue there; il would
be denied in every country where a
scientific code of regulating laws
for public service corporations has
been worked out.
If the Georgetown Gas Company
has been paying fair. remuneratiye
dividends, and no more, and has
need now of more capital to make
necessary betterments or extern
sions, it should be granted the privi-
lege of increasing its issues. Like
wise, if it has been making better
ments out of earnings, dePriving its
stockholders OF dividends in order to
do so, it would be fair 10 permit an
issue of capitalization to represent
this amount which the stockholders
/ havt invested.
The question which Mr.. Justice
Anderson has before him is a con-
crete illustration, and an excellent
one, of the whole problem to which
President Roosevelt has demanded
attention of Congress: the problem
of assuring that no more than rea-
sonable capitalization shall be per-
mitted 90 public utility concerns.
