BARGAIN DAY IN CONSTANTI
 NOPLE

The real reformer among the nations is not New Zealand with her single tax, Saxony with her Socialist majority, or Switzerland with her unlimited in- itiative and referendum.
 It is Turkey, with her new constitu- tion and her bargain days in wars and provinces.
 Turkey had an option on war which was fast maturing, and she really did mt know what to do with it. She had what lawyers call the "bottom title" to two provinces called Bosnia and Her zegovina since-oh, since the Ottoman Turks irrupted Europe 500 years ago. After the power of the sublime porte had become far less sublime Austria fenced these provinces up, governed them, and as far as the people could see they were Austrian. But Turkey has lot of such provinces that have not been lost in theory, but only in fact. Egypt is one. Tunis, Tripoli and all the Barbary states are probably on the books and assets of the Turkish empire. They are lost, but not forgotten. Nevertheless, when Austria took over these two lots of mixed-up anarchy and barbarian, Turkey just had to do some thing. She would fight. She would not endure it. She

PEARLS AND wAsHBAsINs

Our news dispatches say that the U. s. circuit court of appeals has cut from $l32,000 to s22,0o0 the duty in the $34o.ooo pearl necklace imported for Mrs. w. B. Leeds, widow of the former head of the tinplate trust, and the wo. man can now splurge around in New York city with her famous jewels to her hearts content, unless the case is taken to the supreme court.
 We have our own little, short and pointed opinion of woman who will PUT s340,0o0 WORTH or VULGAR VANITY ON HER NECK, while s4o,. 900 women and children of her home city are living in rat holes and suffering from lack of bread and clothes, but this celebrated pearl necklace case shows how the tariff works, and we want to call attention to it.
 The duty on raw materials that would go into houses and clothes for poor peo pie is so high that trusts spring up and are prosperous through monopoly and extortion. The duty on pearls and other luxuries of the very rich is low or, when not low enough, court i, found to cut it down.
 The $340,000 for that necklace wa, squeezed out of the people by protec tion of trust. The people paid higi for their washbasins, dippers and othe, tin utensils. Mrs. Leeds, inheriting tho usufruct of the tinplate trusts cinch or the consumer, pays low for her neck lace. Both ends against the middle! Nc wonder that relicts and divorcees ana captains of industry are rich enough to eat four meals of pearls day, il they want to.
 We pay!
 But they're talking of revising tn, tariff. Already pretty much all tn, kinds of actual producers of the coun try have had to rush down to Washing ton to save what little advantage they ve got in the way of tariff protection and mighty little that is. But, the sor of revision we want is that which vii RAISE DUTIES ON THE LUxURIEs OF THE RICH and level those on tn, products of trusts that turn out S340, 900 baubles for their fool women.

FOREVER AND A DAY

I little know or care If the blackbird on the bough Is filling all the air With his soft crescendo now; For she is gone away, And when she went she took. The peachblow on her cheek, The laughter from the brook, The blue from out the May And what she calls a week Is forever and day! It's little that mind How the blossoms, pink or white, At every touch of wind Fall a-trembling with delight; For in the leafy lane, Beneath the garden boughs, And through the silent house One thing alone seek. Until she comes again The May is not the May, And what she calls week Is forever and day!

STATES AND CORPORATIONS

. The supreme courts unanimous de- cision upholding the Texas authorities in busting subsidiary branch of the Standard Oil company and imposing a heavy fine for violation of state anti trust laws goes to confirm the opinion of those who believe that the solution of the trust and corporation problem lies largely within the competency and duty of the states, inasmuch as they are the sole creators of corporations in the first place. Various technical questions are disposed of in the courts opinion, but the main fact is that drastic pro cedure against corporation that had for years defied regulative and prohib- itive legislation has been confirmed. The law can be enforced by a state against even the most powerful of mod ern combinations of wealth, as was shown in the recent custer of Standard Oil corporations from the state of Mis- souri on grounds closely resembling those on which the Texas proceedings were based. A few more actions of this sort, and the most persistenly law defying trust will soon see the necessity sf mending it's ways
 We have antitrust laws in plenty, and they can be made effective in some directions, as the Texas case proves, but the corporation ought to be controlled and limited and hedged about with in- hibition at it's very formation by we'll considered and exhaustive incorporation statutes. State laws are singularly de- fective on this score. Gov. Harmon of Ohio. in his inaugural address, declared that it was easier in that state to get up a corporation than a partnership. The constitution of Virginia contains most carefully compiled chapter on corporations, yet omits to prescribe what shall constitute the capital stock of corporation, thus leaving the door wide open for speculative enterprises of every sort. A New York lawyer, writing in the Atlantic Monthly, calls attention to the great need of intelli- gent corporation legislation in the states. pointing out that such legislation would greatly minimize the need of ad- ministrative regulation of corporations, which is now so strongly urged as the one remedy for corporation evils. When it is recalled that not one of our Ameri- can states has such a complete statute of corporations as that not long ago adopted by the British parliament, we may realize how far behind we are in corporation legislation.
 It may be all very well for state to oust predatory corporation, but it ought to be impossible for such corpor- ation to get charter from any state. To bring about the necessary uniform ity of legislation, it will be necessary for the federal government to prescribe the conditions under which corporations may engage in interstate commerce, as has been suggested by various students of the corporation problem. The states may then see the advantage of having corporation charters conform with the requirements of federal legislation.

sprung up on the shores OF Lake Mer
ced, from which the city draws its aux
iliary supply The shores and the hills
surrounding the lakes are supposed TO
be reserved for watershed purposes so
that the streams may flow unpolluted
to the reservoirs.
1t occurred to Bourn during recent
visit to the lake that the land in the
vicinity could be put to use. The
water from the lake has been notori-
ously bad and the company figured, no
doubt, that it couldn't be made much
worse. Be that as it may. the potato
farms were sliced from the watershed
and colony of agricuIturists placed
on the soil Most of them rent from
the company.
The potato patches have been located
in the area to the southeast of the
lake. Some time ago signs were posted
in that vicinity, warning people to keep
at a distance; fences were erected, and
gates were locked. The Impression
prevailed that Bourn was protecting
his watersheds. Now the secret is out.
Bourn was building his potato patches.
The company.s agricultural depart
ment raises a new and vital issue. 1t
was hinted yesterday that Bourn pro-
posed to raise the valuation of his
plant to include the price OF the on
coming crop.

he remarked that tile company had an

specify from what source, but it now
