his acre of corn was suffering from
drouth last summer he carried water

untechnical shape for the average reader.
ION June 4, 1909, the bureau prepared
for the President report on the prices

to the Senate, where it was largely con-
suited in connection with certain proposed
changes In the internal revenue tax on

as current work investigations into the
lumber and steel industries, the Interna-

destroy unfair methods, but it should be
| reserved as the last resort rather than
used as the normal instrument.
| THE bureau has proved the practical
value Of cooperation. In 1908 it pointed
out certain defects in the methods of the
| .ew York and New Orleans cotton ex-
| changes. Each exchange at once offered

result of such conference, the New Or

unanimous vote, the entire recommends

improvement, affecting benelcially the
various interests in that great staple. was
secured simply by publicity and voluntary
cooperation.

for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1900,
were $47,720. The number Of employees
was III.
"On December IA. 1903, at the request
of the chairman Of the committee on
ways and means of the House Of Repre-

the President, the bureau furnished that
committee in connection with It's pending
hearings on the proposed tariff bill. with
a statement as to the costs, prices and
profits connected with the production of
standard rails. for the years 1907 to 1908,
inclusive. On December II. 1908. the
bureau. in response to a similar request
furnished to the chairman of the said
committee statement as to the costs
and profits ip connection with the pro-
duction Of steel billets both Bessemer
and open hearth basic. The information
In both of these statements was part of
the data secured by the bureau In the
course Of Its investigation Of the iron and
steel industry, and, while brief in form,
was unique In its accuracy and scope The
data as to rails covered companies pro-
ducing more than 93 per cent OF all the
rails manufactured in the United States
during the period covered. The informa-
ton as to billets covered practically the
entire Bessemer ingot production Of the
country. and more than Is per cent Of
the open hearth production, for the
period covered. The detailed facts upon
which the statements were based were
taken directly from the books Of the COM
panies producing the rails and the steel.

Closer Supervision Needed.

THE corporation has concentrated
enormous commercial power in the hands
Of few men. At the same time it has
lessened their personal responsibility for
the proper use Of that power. Sense Of
personal obligation to the community be-
comes submerged in vast corporate en-
titles. The resulting abuses call for some
. restraint that shall take the place OF the
old personal obligation. Government SUI
pervision and publicity of, corporations
must be that substitute.
Two types of corporate managers are
struggling for control. The one bases
his success upon increasing the efficiency
of his organization: he acquires and holds
his business by giving better service OF
lower prices. The public thus shares the
benefits of his efficiency. He builds uE
our Industrial strength.
THE other succeeds, not by his own
merit, but by Gripping the efficiency OF
competitors: by railway rebates, by un-
fair competition, by commercial oppres-
sion. by public rights monopolized fol
private gain; not by giving better service
but by unfairly preventing others from
giving any service. If this process con-
tinues, it will surrender the control OF
our commercial forces to the commercial
pirate. to the injury Of the nation and the
unfair ruin Of individuals.

WAR IN PRINCE GEORGE
SENATOR WELLS ROAD BILL
OPPOSED IN COUNTY.
Show of Feeling Is Caused by Fight
Against Regular Democratic
Organization.

BALTIMORE. Md, February 1O.-A
special dispatch to the American from
Annapolis says:
Democratic bitterness In southern
Maryland cropped out yesterday when del
egations came here from Prince George
county for and against Senator Wells
road bill, which he has prepared and
which he will introduce in a day or two.
There was a stormy interview between
Senator Wells and the delegation oppos-
feeling is the bitter factional fight in the
county between the regular organization.
headed by former Senator Clagett and
Senator Wells, and the other or insur-
gent faction, headed by former Speaker
j. Enos Ray. jr., and other prominent
democrats Of the county.
The fight began last summer when Mr.
Clagett threw down Mr.. Ray for senator
and took up DR.. Wells. his object being to
secure the county for his cousin, T. Van
Clagett, who had been appointed judge
by Gov. Crothers TO succeed Judge Mer-
rick. retired because of the age limit. DIR.
Wells won, but Clagett was not nomi-
mated.
Trouble After Election.
After the smoke of the election Lad
cleared away the Clagett-Wells faction
found that it did not control the county
commissioners, who, among their other
duties. appoint the road supervisors and
distribute the cash for the roads. To
win control Of the road department. the
Clagett-Wells people drafted a bill trans
ferring from the county commissioners to
the governor the appointing power in the
road department., creating at the same
time four supervisors, each at salary Of
1885,, and an engineer at q salary Of
s., 600.
BY this bill, say the insurgents Of
Prince George, the regular democrats
propose to violate every principle OF home
rule, one Of the principles so dear to the
democratic heart Mr.. Ray, counsel to
the county commissioners. told Senator
Wells yesterday that the commissioners
would swallow his bill II he would only
retain the appointing power at home. This
DR. Wells refused. OF course, it Is as
sumed that II DR.. Wells bill becomes a
law the governor will follow the recon-
mendations Of the state central commit
tee OF the county, which is controlled by
supervisors recommended by them. The
county commissioners. including two re-
publicans, are unanimously opposed to
Dr. Wells BILL
The fight yesterday and that to be
waged Is bringing prominently to the
front the candidacy Of Mr.. Ray for the
democratic nomination for Congress in
southern Maryland this year. 1t also
looks as though he will have to reckon
with the Clagett-Wells faction before he
can secure the backing of his county In
the district convention.

REMEDY FOR TRUST EVIL

Instead Of Furnishing Afterward.
ABUSES CALL FOR RESTRAINT
Commissioner Of Corporations in An
nual Report Discusses Means for
Conservation Of Public Veal.
ABUSES CALL FOR RESTRAINT

Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner OF
corporations, Department of Commerce
and Labor, in his annual report presents
a solution OF the problem Of correcting
and eradicating the evils growing out OF
corporate action in the business world, in
addition to giving a summary of the &C
complishments Of his bureau during the
past fiscal year. BY making public the
business transactions of public interest,
while safeguarding, at the same time,
business secrets, Mr.. Knox, according to
his report, believes permanent meeting
ground may be obtained for cooperation
and adjustment between the government
and business interests, and thereby those
corporations that deal fairly and openly
will correspondingly acquire public conf
dence and support.
He cites instances of good accomplished
by pointing out in 1908 certain defects
in the methods Of the New York and New
Orleans cotton exchanges and voluntary
cooperation resulting from publicity.
Such publicity, the report states, prevents
wrong beforehand instead of Furnishing
isolated cases afterward. Reference Is
also made to reports of the bureau upon
the tobacco industry, the taxation Of cor
porations, investigations into the lumber
and steel industries, the concentration or
Water-power ownership and transporta-
ton by water in the United States.

Liable Hue and the DOnkcy4.
(Detroit Free Press.)

tDelFOlt cree PreSS.)
Fathe Hue. d Jesuit missionary,
travelling through Tibet in the middle
of the last century. complained to his
~dragonan that the donkeyS OF his
raNan brayed SO loudly all night in
the -carayanserai at which they camp
that he couldn't get A wink Of sleep.
I'll fix them tonight" said the drago-
man, and, sure enough. the good
priest had a quiet time and a good
rest. Next morning, going about the
camp. he observed that every donkey
had a coDblestone tied to his tail,
which prevented the elevation of that
organ to the horizontal position es-
EentlaI to the emission of the bray
from the other end, and thereafter
he was not disturbed at night.
A similar noise has perNaded his
country for some time past. which a
become very annoying during the past
few months, e~manating from the
northern shore Of Long Island. and
reVerberating to the Pacific, keeping
and night. It is said hat some drago-
man has tied a coobie-stone marked

noisemafer and the noise has sudden
" ceased. The pFOfoundeSt silence

Only the ass. with motion dull
