place, the management of our great
railroad and industrial enterprises
upon a plane that shall in effect be
purely mechanical, a plane whore ex'
perience, judgment and ability shall
not count and where financial ex-
perience and backing shall not be
necessary. The preservation of en-
terprise is quite as necessary as the
suppression of abuses, especially con-
ditions that have in Difference to hui
man nature arisen from a too con-
centrated control of public utilities.
On the other hand, the first recep-
ton of the presidents plan is apt to
be considered too seriously. Mr..
Taft has shown no disposition to alb
rogate to himself any powers not &C.
knowledged to be we'll within the
province of the executive. He is not
endeavoring to be at once the legis-
lative branch and the execute branch
of the government. Therefore his
recommendations are likely to be
thoroughly discussed and their value
appraised before they take their
place on the statute books. The re-
striction upon the arbitrary issue of
securities will provide distinct
check upon the character of concen-
tration so clearly exemplified in the
Hartman system Of railroads.; or, to
go still further back, in the Gould
and Vanderbilt systems. A check
upon arbitrary financing means a
check upon combinations that as a
first requisite must have the neces-
sary financial backing; and the net
result, therefore, will be that combin-
ations would not be possible until
examined and approved. The presi-
dents ideas may therefore not be
considered highly revolutionary in
themselves. But not the least of the
depressing features connected with
their progress will be the tendency
by parties affected by them to dis
tort their true significance. 1t may
thus be taken for granted that con-
gress when it convenes in December
will be the source of mo little uncer-
tainty and nervousness in Stock Ex-
change circles
All of which tends to show that
MIR. Taft is safe man and that the
great question of conservation of the
nations natural wealth, it's rivers, its
forests, its fuel deposits, will be safe
guarded to the people so far as his
efforts can prevail.

In 1850 or thereabouts at the ancestral
Chateau Les Guillettes, on his estates

The castle. Of frowning outward as

taste and wealth. Its owner, contrary
to long existing tradition wore no

tuft below the lower lip. He was
known through the countryside as

with an indescribable terror. -

RICHEST BARoNET a MINOR
Sir cha sutton Has Enormous
Estate at Age of Eighteen
Years.

LONDON, Jan. 0.--CSpecial)-Sir Rich
ard Sutton, the richest baronet In England,
who is but IS years OF age, will shortly
become still more wealthy through the
falling in OF the leases of many OF his
houses in stratton and Curzon streets
Great rows Of chambers, flats and shops
will undoubtedly replace the existing small
dwellings and rental values will go up
street a few years ago.
For eighteen years Sir Richards enor-
nous wealth has been growing by accumu.
lation. Ills wants have been few and his
expenditure but a small fraction Of his
immense annual income. He was a post
humous child, being born two months after
the death of his father.
Just how tremendous his wealth is has
probably been more nearly gagged by
Matchmaking mamnQs with schoolroom
daughters than by anyone else. though
anyone who has ever visited London can
give a fair guess OF it's magnitude when
II is mentioned that to this youth belong
the west side Of Picadilly and nearly all
the streets off it-Sackville street. Vigo
street, Bolton street. Charges street, Half
Moon stceet, partof Curzon street. Ii fact
all fashionable Mayfair which does not
belong TO the duke OF Westminster, is
with the exception OF a small property
which belongs to Lord Howe OF the Penn.
Curzon family, after whom Curzon street
was named, owned by Sir Rich
ard Sutton. There is also a large district
of property north Of Regent street. which
stands in his name.
When his father, Sir Richard Sutton,
died I'm February, 1891. the deceased
brother. Arthur Edwin. was the heir, but
il was decided that the title and helrship
should remain in allegiance for a few
months and when in the following April
Lady Sutton gave birth 10 a son il was
to the title and vast estate Of his father
that this little infant succeeded. while his
uncle stilI kept his old role OF presumptiys
heir.
Whether this young boy will take after
his father is still a matter of conjecture
Although always rather delicate. he is a
fine-spirited lad. with extremely warm at.
tachments. His father was we'll known and
popular in America and was a rlan Of
munifcent lberality. He was an enthusi,
astic yaehtsman and owned the Genesis
