THE NEMESIS o. The BLIND
POOL.

More than century ago the Haver
meyer family was in the sugar rein
ing business. It's reputation, socia
and commercial, was second to none
II grew as the country grew. There
was good deal OF the Dutch stub
bornness ia that old Knickerbocker
family. They were intoIerant of inter
ference, and had good reason TO be
confident in their ability to manage
their own affairs They were the pre-
cursors of the American Sugar Co.,
and the late Henry o. Hayermeyer
carried into the management Of that
business what was virtually the tradi-
ton Of his family.
He regarded the management VI the
property as a matter which concerned
himself alones He considered that the
stockholders should be satisfied If he
got results. or the men who worked
with him, not one knew all of his
business. Even the counsel to the
company probably knew no more than
was necessary to make his work eff
Client. The directors did not direct,
and, unfortunately, public opinion toll
crates that fruitful incentive to wrong
doing. Abuses grew up in the opera
tIon Of the corporation, and how ex-
tensive they became has been shown
in recent disclosures. The stockhold-
ers sat still and accepted their divi.
dends. II they had been English |
stockholders they would have snap |
ped their fingers at the control and
heckled the controllers. Instead OF
his, they did not even attend the
general meetings of the/company.
Now Havermeyer is dead and

o point out how much the stockhold

. stock company. II he relegates
hose duties to another who is inter
sted in deceiying him, there is no
Institution which can become more
utocratic and corrupt. says The Wall
treet Journal
The stockholder, moreover, cannot
lain that he sinned In ignorance. He
eliberately entered the Havermeyer
lind pool for the sake OF the large .
eturn on his investment. We are.

Here Is an object lesson upon the

CHANGE ADJOURNMENT.
Matter of Receding From Ac-
tion Discussed.

Austin, March 5.-An effort TO hack
down in the matter of adjourning fin.
ally on March 13 was made by the

Cathey, Brooks and Stpher, to recall
from the senate the concurrent fixing
the date for sine die adjournment.
Fuller was recognized by the chair
to speak for resolution, when Ray
raised the point of order that il was
not debatable. So much time was con.
sumed In discussing the point of or.
der that while it was finally oyerruled
by the chair another point of order by
Ray that time for consideration of res.
olutions had expired was sustained
and resolution went over.
Members of the house appear to be
divided on the question Of authority
OF the house to recall resolution finally
passed and sent to the senate should
the latter body not wish to send II
back.
It is contended by some Of the lead
Ing members that the senate may
adopt the concurrent resolution not.
withstanding that the house may re.
scind its action and that action of sen.
ate would be binding upon the house.
The house adopted unanimously the
resolution offered by Reedy, inviting
President Taft to visit Texas No date
is given.
