cue. There was never a time when
the candidates party utilization count

individuality counted for so much. The

Good citizens who are in doubt as

in mind that what we need in Con

can be delivered by somebody else upon

such a report is a criminal ofense.
I know Of one case where articles OF
Incorporation would have saved tbraa
men from absolute ruin. Three business
men took a flyer in the purchase OF a
rock quarry They put up s.. COO each and
put foreman with a gang of mon 70
working the quarry. The foreman was
careless, and one morning q blast went
on prematurely. adding nine Italian faces

widows walled and then sued for dam
ages, which the court allowed at the
rate OF $1,000 per victim. The total was
$500 and when the entire assets Of the
three owners were gathered in q brnch
they amounted 70 S2S.o0O. OF which one
man had less than 5, .O00. another .S.59.
and the other fellow the balance. Had
the quarry been a stock COMPANY the
only liability To either man on non
assessable stock would have been the
proceeds Of the sale OF the quarry and
the tools used in working it.
"One more advantage in the stock com
pany IS that each has its board of
directors con ssting of from five 10
twenty men, and the policy Of the
firm is settled by these men in con-
ference. As a result Of having a dozen
men cooperating the affairs OF the firm

A YEAR IN WHICH THE PARTY
LABEL COUNTS FORLITTLF.

As the Congressional election ap-
proaehes, it finds everywhere a confu-
sion of issues which may well perplex
the voter. Independent citizens who
would support Democratic candidates,
in the hope that capture of the House
will hasten reform of the tariff, must
be put to it when they recall the max
ing of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
There were a score of Democrats
from the South after the swag in a
way that made the average Republi-

which learned seafaring by polishing
up the knocker on the big front door
have been rebuked.
Some fresh-water Viking with q me-

bethought him of the canned penn

deep-sea rover, weather beaten in every
zone between Spitzbergen and the
White Nile, would have thought OF

as the event has shown, the true great
ness of Mr.. Wellman appears. Like
( all sailormen, with the tang of the

Is superstitious. He would as soon

his binoculars as without his cat.
For hours he was in great peril,
with his cOckle-shell boat tossing in

deared to nautical rescued the
threatened lives-including those of the

The true sailorman and his super

Where a partnership exists incorpora-

man who owns an interest in a business

the law for the entire debts Of the es-

thus provided viii be an appreciable
factor in the expenditures of the rail
roads for some years. But it will be
one of the best investments the roads
ever have made.
Railroad vital statistics show a
startlingly large number of accidents
each year in which employees have been
manned or killed. in many instances
the cause is the absence Of safety ap-
planes or a lack OF uniformity in
the appliances in use.
Every large road has its pensioners.
The sums paid voluntarily to injured
employees, or in damage suits, have
run into tens of millions The army
of MANNED gate tenders and fagmen
testify to the number of accidents.
Viewed from a purely practical
angie, the move to install safety ap-
planes is excellent insurance. View
ed as a moral proposition, it is a long
step in progress.
Human life is greater than any
financial consideration. It is not to
be weighed in the balance with dollars
and cents. The lives that will be saw
ed as the result of improved appli-
ances are worth far more to society
than any amount of money the rail
roads are likely TO Lave to spend.

The Island of Crete. as you know, was
once province of Greece and is settled
chiefly by Greeks. 1t was, conquered by
Turkey. The people. who are Christians,
were prosecuted and oppressed in bru-
tai manner by the Turkish officials.
To relieve their fellow countrymen and
co-rellg1onists Greece went to war with
Turkey and was badly whipped. The
great powers of Europe interviewed and
put Crete upon an autonomous semi-in-
governor and guaranteed to protect the
integrity of the island
AS 1t stands now Crete Is neither
Greece nor Turkey
The people OF Greece, all torn up over
local conditions and universally dissatis-
fed with their present form Of govern
ment, nave summoned a national assem-
bly, to amend their constitution and deter
mine upon new form of administration.
According TO precedent, the natives of
Greece living In other countries have been
invited to send delegates to participate in
the assembly and to assist in restoring
tranquility and promote the welfare OF
the fatherland
The Greek residents Of Crete and OF
Turkey generally, who number several
hundred thousand and are among the
most prosperous and wealthy members OF
the commercial and industrial world, have
selected their delegates and are sending
them to Athens to participate in the ma.
tional assembly, regardless of the prohi.
bition or the Turkish government The

delegates were chosen.
