Charter Forfeiture Criticised.

A paragraph in the draft of the pro-
posed federal incorporation law which has
aroused criticism is that providing for
charter forfeiture in the event of certain
violations of the law. 1t Is pointed out
that this provision would work punish
ment and hardship on innocent stock
holders and at the same time permit ON
Gals responsible for the wrongs to es-
cape. That is one of the clauses hkely to
be very thoroughly discussed and possibly
amended.
There is one straight path to reform In
the methods and practices OF the STOCK
exchange and banking machinery which
might put stop to many of the abuses
complained of. and that Is to force a
change in the attitude of the federal and
state banking departments IN the matter
of overcertification of checks Both ma
tional and state authorities wink at So
called technical evasions" of the laws
making generalization of bank checks
crime. There are several ways by
which the plainly written laws on this
subject are lodged and the money OF de-
positors jeopardized in order to help along
the gambling operations on the stock ex-
change.
The method most commonly practiced is
for brokerage and commission houses de-
string generalization to bridge over
with day-by-day notes unsecured to the
amount of the checks to be presented.
The confessed object is to enable the
banks to certify without seeming to dis
obey the law, although only the widest
stretch of imagination could construe
these unsupported notes into real deposits.
1t is regarded by the unsophisticated as
very strange that this factor in the sit
uation should not provoke drastic action
in Washington and Albany. Such action
would render unnecessary many OF the
reform plans now being mulled over by
the amateurs and uplifters in these two
centerS of political thought.

NEW YORK, February 12-"Please

Brooklyn policeman last night. please
come quick. The graveyard is on fire
Lead me to it, said the policeman; y
never saw a fire like that"
Sure enough. flames were leaping from
broken columns and gates ajar to plain
tombstones. Investigation showed that
the stones were in reality pine wood
treated with some preparation which
made them look like marble. The ceme-
tery is largely owned oy families too
moor to afford even true granite. Some
vandal. it is supposed, set the fire.

Mr.. Gompers' Address.

President Gompers' address was large
~ tribute to Lincoln. He quoted from
Lincolns speeches to show the great
friendship of the martyred President for
the working classes, and in that connec-
ton made a reference, by inference. to
the contempt proceedings which have
cast the shadow of prison bars over him.
Capital is only the fruit of labor he
quoted Lincoln as saying, .'and> could
never have existed if labor had not first
existed. Labor is the support of cap
ital and deserves much the higher con-
sderation."
THAT was Lincoln's great declaration"
commented President Gompers. that la
Dor should be considered above capital.
And that thought might commend itself
to presidents, senators. representatives
and courts of justice of our present day."
He quoted the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in the bred Scott
case, and said:
Imagine the cost to the country of
plotting out such a decision. There are
elements at work in our own day, forces
at play now as pernicious, as tyrannical
as during the struggles of the civil war.
The concept of human freedom and of
human tyranny is still in the arena. Av-
arice is not dead. The love and lust of
power is not dead. Pity tits, it's true,
that men for gain and power will en-
deavor to crush others under foot,
