Most people have the impression that
tun and humor are life incidentaIs. not
necessities; that they are luxuries and
have no great bearing upon ones
career.
Many think fun is frivolous. indicat-
ing a lack of serious purpose in life.
There are parents who rebuke their
children because they want to have
fun and go in for good time. These
parents have yet to learn the great
part which fun and humor play in the
physical economy and their influence
on the life.
What complete revolution of your
whole physical and mental being comes
after seeing really funny play! You
went to the play tired, your mental fac
ulties were clogged with brain ash;
you could not think clearly. When you
came home you were new being.

FLoATsAM OF LIFE.
(Exchange.)

(EXchange,)
The flash of a vanished face shines
out
Like ships light far at sea;
Spars from a broken wreck float hazel,
The dreams of Used-to-be.
The sunken cave of a rock-bound
shore
HIDES the face of Hope, sea-wet;
And the tangled weet.s come swirling
by
With the corpse of dead Regret.
And out, far out on the sounding deep,
Red Wrong and unburied Care
The skeleton forms of dear dead things
Which but yesterday were fair.
The smiles that died ere they scarce
were born,
And the unshed, hopeless tears
Go drifting, drifting on with the tide
The flotsam of the years.

Tricky Finance,

The appointment of receivers for rail-
way systems is usually one of the signs
Of bad times. In 1898 so many roads went
into the hands OF receivers that the cor
poration that stood on its own founda-
tons and was Independent of the courts
was regarded as somewhat of a novelty.
For fully ten years, however. there have
been but few receiverships. and those have
reflected individual bad management
rather than general conditions. The Sea-
board Air Line troubles are apparently OF
the former class.
in the Se1board case, this difficulty has
arisen from the now familiar cause OF
overcapitalization, sometimes known as
stock watering. At least, the charge to
that effect is freely made, and appears to
be generally believed. However this may
be. il is no secret that in many of the
large corporations nowadays. not only in
the transportation line, but in manufac.
turing as well. stock watering Is so COM
mon as to be almost the rule.
Recently the facts regarding the
troubles of the New York traction inter.
ests have been brought to light in a man.
ner TO astound many citizens who had
never had occasion to inquire into the
reason why with such an enormous bust
ness the controlling corporations were
constantly in financial difficulties. 1t nov
appears that these properties were utilized

It's lucky that my Uncle Jim can't always
have his way.
Although he's bout the smartest man
we've seen in many a day.
He always has an answer pat, no matter
what you ak.
His industry and courage wouldn't finch
from any task.
He talks about the tariff an bout local
option, too;
Knows who should be elected an jes'
what he ought to do.
He thinks so fast that, as a rule, folks
can't keep up with him.
I reckon ~that's why office-holdin' aim
fur Uncle Jim.
He'd soon have peace a-reignin' over all
this mighty earth.
He'd let no man alive get more than what
his work was worth;
He'd settle every argument beyond all
room fur Goubt
An leave us absolutely nothin' to dispute
about.
That's what I'm most afraid of; If he got
the upper hand.
There wouldn't be a thing but peace and
quiet In the land
have to say.

have his way.

| by those In control of them, not as legiti-
mate money makers by way of reasonable
profits over and above cost. but as tricks
| to delude investors. Reorganizations
were managed solely for the purpose of
piling up the capital stock. The reorgan-
| izers paid themselves rich commissions
and fees and underwriting percentages.
They manipulated the stock market to
boom the prices of securities and then un-
load on the public. retaining practical con-
troll by means of so-called voting trusts
and bond holdings.
The truth is, our present system of in
dustriaI finance is rotten to the core. 1t
is maze of mysteries to the average per-
son. who can not follow the intricacies of
holuing companies, subsidiary companies
leases and the like. These complexities
are skillfully devised to prevent intrusive
examination into the affairs of the cor
porations and to block successful pursuit
of the truth. Without the silken thread
of inside understanding it is next to
impossible for the inquirer to find his
way through the labyrinth.
The net result of all this thimble-rig-
ging is that the stock market is overload
ed with inflated securfties-Pierpont Nor
time-which finds purchasers only in times
of bull excitement, and in normal condi-
tons act as a drag and handicap. An
other result is that public confidence in
the integrity of the managers of the large
railway and industrial corporations is
shaken. They are as a large class made
to appear to the country as tricksters. in
tent chiefly upon getting the dollars of
the unwary for no value in exchange,
whereas in truth the majority are honest,
conscientious conservators of the inter-
ests intrusted to them.
Until some method is found to prevent
stock watering, fraudulent reorganization
and the creation Of needless holding COM
panies,'' and to stop the vicious practice
of corporations owning the control of
other interests, thereby lessening the de-
gree OF personal responsibility, there will
continue to be distress and failure. period

Count that day lost, or at least dull,

Ohio situation. Mr.. Foraker refuses to
accept the state committees action re-
speeding the primaries, and things seem
to be up in the air again. But what
can he do? The properly constituted au-
thority has spoken, and how many will
refuse to obey? Great days these would
be for the Buckeye democrats if only they
We're united. But kicking. like sneezing,
seems to be catching. The Tom Johnson
forces and the anti-Tom johnson forces
are at it again, tooth and nail, and specu-
lation is lively as to what the effect will
be on Ohio's influence at the democratic
national convention. Cannot Judge Har-
mon add letter to his name and operate
as an agency of pacification?

The Philippine Tariff.
he Portland Oregonian says

! IF there is not to be free trade between
the Philippines and the United States,
then we should give the Philippines indie
pendence. 1t is wrong to compel their
allegiance and then pluck them py our
protective tariff"
This puts the case too strongly The
tariff. question is important, but independ-
'ence is more important still. AS to the
latter question, much more than the ma
rerial development of the Islands enters
into the equation.
We have been making progress in the
matter of fairer terms for the Filipinos in
our markets, though it seems slow. "A
campaign of education was necessary. At
FIRST the proposition had few friends. But
it has many friends now. So many
that it has been necessary to employ a
good deal of fine work in the Senate to
keep it from coming to vote.
Unfortunately. a new maneuver is now
observable which may still further delay
matters. Secretary Taft is the most ag-
gressive of the friends of fairer trade with
America for the Fil:pinos. and as he Is
candidate for the presidency the issue is
being employed against him. The stand
patters, who do not like his attitude on
the tariff question In general, are seizing
every available point. and the Philippine
tariff bill is one that has taken their
fancy They are using it in the beet
sugar and in the tobacco territory, IN an
effort to create anti-Taft sentiment IN
the presidential race. though they are not
forcing. nor are they likely to force, any
modification of the Secretary OF wars
position on the subject
Stripped OF all politics and small self
ishness, the appeal for lower duties on
certain Philippine products should pre-
vail It Is one of simple justice, and
involves no loss to US. Our control over
the archipelago Is complete. The for
tunes of the people are In the hollow OF
our hands. We have done much for
them. but much remains to be done. What
has been done cannot come to full fruition
unless followed by other things. And
this thing of new and lower tariff duties
is at once logical and imperative.
II will come soon, whereas independ-
enee. In the very nature Of things. can
not come for years. Secretary Taft. who
is probably the best informed American
on the subject, and friendly to both sides
certainly as good a friend as the Fill
pinos have anywhere-thinks that one
generation must pass, and maybe two, be-
fore the people of the archipelago will
be ready to take their affairs into their
own hands, and establish government
which will at once serve their own inter-
ests and tho general interests in that
quarter of theN world.
