Cabbages and Capers.

AS to cabbage, the government argued
before the court that rolling it into ball
and covering it with salt was in the way
of preparation for eating, while Sun
Kwong On, the importer. through his
counsel, contended such treatment after
the salt was washed off left it in It's nat
ural state. The salt, his counsel argued,
was used to preserve the cabbage during
transit. There is a difference of 10
per cent in the contentious.
Capers from southern Europe and north
ern Africa have nothing to do with tours
of distinguished personages, but as both
sides carefully explained to the court.

COOPERATION IS FEARED
MIR. SULZER THINKS IT DE-
STROYS INDIVIDUALITY.
Differs With Chairman Knapp at
Annual Dinner of Terminal
Y. N. C. A.

A difference OF opinion resulted between
Chairman Martin A. Knapp of the inter
state commerce commission and Repre-
sentative William Sulzer Of New York at
the second annual dinner of the Terminal
Y. NJ. c. A. last night. when the former
declared he was in favor Of social and
Industrial cooperation as the need OF
the age. In his address following Mr..
Sulzer said:
III by the use of the word you mean
cooperation in the principles as en-
bodied in the Sermon on the Mount, then
am for cooperation, but If you mean
cooperation to the end of a few control
a few owning all the wealth, then I am
opposed to cooperation.
"Co-operation means Capitalization
Capitalization means socialism, and So
cialism means death to progress and
retrogression Of all human achievements.
Il am not a socialist, but l am an
individualist. i would preserve the iden-
tity of the individual at all hazards. /
do not want to see the identity of the
individual lost in cooperation. 1 would
not have all men on dead level, for
that is what socialism would have /
would have every man stand distinct,
the other, and all trying to press forward
in righteous way to a goal of human
aspiration"
Offenses of Railroads.
He also declared that the proper en-
forcement of the law would mean the
Imprisonment of many railroad officials.
"A railroad he said, lis amenable to
the same laws as private citizen. If
an individual breaks the law he is i'm
prisoned. The officials of a railroad also
should be imprisoned when breach of
the law occurs"
