Concerning Smith

 Smith has got some tenements down on Allen street; Pretty tough to live down there; too much dirt and heat; Too much haggard poverty, too much dis content At sacrificing children's health so Smith can have his rent; But still they pay him right along, and as for lack of air And sickness, that don't worry Smith, for he don't live down there. In summer, when the killing heat keeps getting worse and worse, You'll always see the doctor there, and after him the hearse. But Smith don't have to pay those bills, and though he's often sore Because good tenants go thatway, he soon can find some more, And if mother makes fuss about some dirty brat Who's sick from heat or sewer gas, Smiths agent secs to that. They've had some hot old flies down there, but Smiths not much concerned When he reads what the papers say about the people burned; He keeps his houses we'll insured, and if men will not wake And get their foolish families out, what difference does it make? Smith leads pretty decent life, according to his lights; He doesn't beat his wife, or drink, or bat around of nights; It's business, running tenements, and as business man He shrewly tries to run 'em cheap, to pay him all they can: Which seems first rate business rule but, on the judgment day, When Gabriel trumpets Smith, speak up'' wonder what he'll say?

ALCOHOL AND THE CORSET
French Writer Says They are Compan-

French Writer Says They are Compan-
 ion Plaques.
 Evidently realizing that the above title would prove somewhat perplexing to his readers, M. Marcel Provost, the author of the article appearing therer under ill a recent number of Le Figaro (Paris) explains in his opening para graph that it is not the title of fable, nor it is the fantastical juXtaposition of two words drawn at random from the dictionary. It is the rapprochement,- - perhaps unexpected,-of the names of the two worst plagues that ravage humanity called civilized, " and partic- ularly the people of France. One is more especially a masculine plague; the other is exclusively feminine. Both, however, have this common characteris- tic that their attraction is purely arti- ficial
 The evils of corset wearing are summed up in the following terms:
 From all this results this sad pheno- menon: With a smaller expenditure of energy, with a regime more sober and more chaste than that of man, with less of alcoholism, the modern woman IS less healthy than the modern man. She Is becoming more and more a being fragile, bizarre, dyspeptic, and neuro- pathical. She is fitted less and less for the duties of maternity; and thus the feminine plague conspires with its mas culine follow to attack the race at the very root.

probsbsy higher ,haa whes the act was passed. Now he insists that all his present power Is faadequate and that all interstate commerce and the facilities of such commerce must be made subject to his personal auto cratic control
 In his latest aud fortunately his last, regular message, he proposes to destroy the Shermau law and allow the Executive to authorize oombina- tions which are in the interest of the public" The railroads to be exempt cd from the Antitrust law and per. mitted to make such combinations and pooling agreements as the Ex' ecutive may permit. The Presiden, Is even to control the rate of wages. for rates must not. fo~ instance. be reduced in such fashion as 10 neces sitate a cut in the wages of the em- ployes."
 Moreover. the courts are to be eliminated from all interference in regulating corporations, for there must be power not by judicial but by Executive action to put stop to every form of improper favoritisp or other wrong-doing." This would create a centralized power which neither the German Emperor nor the Car of Russia prstends to exercise.
 Mir. Roosevelt's Pilgrims Progress would be ridiculous if it had not been so tragical in effeetS. In his first message he warned the country that "to undertake by crude and ill., considered legislation to do what may turn out to be bad would be to incur the risk of such far-reaching national disaster that it would be preferable to undertake nothing at all" His last message finds the coun- try slowly recovering from precisely such far-reaching national disaster v brought on largely by his own foliies and his own government by denun- citation; yet his final recommends tions are for legislation more crude and ill-considered" If possible than anything he previously proposed.
 The country is now in a position to take an inventory of seven years of Roosevelt crusading. I find that Mir. Morgan, Mir Rockefeller, Mir. Hartman, Mir. Ryan, Mir. Hill, NIT. Schiff and their associates are if any thing more prosperous than when he began. On the other side Of the lodges are more than 2,00O.00O Amer ican toilers who were out of work or working on part time during the Roosevelt panic, hundreds of small dealers driven to tbe wall, thousands of merchants who have suffered greatly. savipgs-bsnk funds exhaust ed, failures and all the individual want, misery and suffering that a great panic has produced.
 Measured by their results in good and evil during the seven years that Executive ignorance and hysteria have held the stage, Mir. Roosevelt's policies as a whole are among the most melancholy failures in American history. There is only one useful purpose that the Roose- welt methods and recommendations can serve to Mir. Taft--as a lesson and a warning.

SEVEN YEARS OF MUODliNG.
(New York world.)

All reports from Augusta as to Mir. Taft's probable corporation poll. cIes agree in one respect-namely, that he is not going to renew the rec concentrations in Mr Roosevelt's message of December 8.
 To free himself from the Roose. veltian vagaries is the first step Mir. Taft must take if he expects to ar. rive at a sane, intelligent and useful solution of the railroad and trust problems. James Buchanan was not more muddIe-minded on the subiec; of controlling slavery than Is Theo- dore Roosevelt or the subject of con trolling corporations.
 In his first message to Congress, in December, 1901, Mr. Roosevelt was certain that
 The first esseptsal in determining how to deal with the great industrial eombinatic-1 is knowledge Of the publicity. In the interest oi the public the Government should have the right to inspect and examine the workings of the great corpora tions engaged in interstate business, Publicity is the only sure remedy We can now invoke. The first re- quisite is knowledge, full and com. plete-knowledge which may bs made public to the world
 Congress granted his request. ere ating the Department of Commerce with it's Bureau Of Corporations, so that he could provide that full and complete publicity which he called the first requisite The act was signed February II. 1903, and the bureau has been at work ever since
 in his message ef December, 1903, Mir Roosevelt declared that the pre- linninary work of the bureau ''has shown the wisdom of it's creation" :" He insisted that
 Publicity in corporation affairs win tend to do away with ignorance and Will afford facts upon which in- teIligeut action may be taken"
 In his message Of December, 1904. he announced that
 The Bureau of Corporations has made careful preliminary investiga- lion of many important corporations. The bureau offers to Congress the means of getting at the cost of pro duetion of our various great staples of commerce"
 Since the day this bureau was ere ated to %afford the facts upon which intelligent action may be taken Mr. Roosevelt has recommended ah amendment to the Constitution. Federal license for corporations en- gagged in interstate commerce, a Ia. tional incorporation law. a Federal franchise for public-service corpora tions, congressional control of inter. state commerce under the pOst-roads clause. Federal supervision of insur- ance. telegraph and telephone compa- | nies. a Federal receivership for law breaking trusts ami tine denial of the facilities of interstate commerce to my corporation of whose manage nent the President does not approve.
