held up Ordinarily this message is
transmitted ITO the legislature on the
Gay after the assembling of the law
makers. However, until the senate or
ganizes the senate committee to mott

precedent to govern this situation.
Frequently the governors message
has been published in adyanc of its
transmission The governor, If he
chooses, may release for publication
the message which Is now in the
hands of the newspapers.

Horses Still in Demand.

1t IS tallacy to suppose that the re-
striction of race tracks in the crusade
against poOl-room gambling has put an
end to the career of the thoroughbred
horse. There still remains an undimin-
IShed demand for hunters; and il the
gambling evil can be eliminated it is
more than likely that racing may be
revived for sports sake Then there
continues to be the acquisition OF cav
airy horses by the government. which
IN itself offers remunerative field for
the horse breeder Nor has the auto
mobile put out OF business the draft
and work horse OF trade and commerce.
1t will be long while before the
necessity for horses will cease, and If
market prices are any criterion to Judge
by, the demand is greater than the pres
ent supply. Reports from the turf in
dicate that horsernen have offered their
blooded stations broadcast to encourage
breeding of desirable stock. Here is
suggestion TO create a by-product of
farms in the East, which would 90 a
great ways TO increase the revenue of
many rural landowner and to restore to
good use much of the abandoned farm
land in that section.

Federal Corporations.

The logical consequence of the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court in reference to the Sherman anti
trust act can only be Federal cor
poration law which would create a
standard as to the form of organization
for interstate business and relieve the
uncertainty concerning what is and
what is not legitimate combination.
Furthermore, while giving stability and
security to the organization of big busi-
ness within the law..' it would at the
same time establish certain definite
checks on the abuse of privileges
granted under the Federal charters,
making such laws in a measure auto
matte
The British government enforces
the principles of common law in its
broad companies" act. In this coun-
try the right Of the government to
regulate the form of corporations Is
recognized m every State. The Federal
corporation tax insures to the govern
ment jurisdiction over corporations en-

Faith in Mankind.

Faith in mankind should be strength
ened considerably by an occurrence ex-
perienced by the District Board OF
Charities one day last week. when part
OF the money advanced TO a man in
hard luck. to pay transportation charges
TO another place where work might be
secured, was returned. Wha, is more,
the letter accompanying the first in
stallment stated that the remaining sum
would be renutted next pay day
While it was only s. which had been
returned out OF an advance OF S., the
principle and not the amount is the
point to emphasize The District gov
ernment might never have been remen-
bered, and no one ever would have
been the wiser. But, true to his prom
lse that he would refund the loan on
| his first pay day, the recipient took
part OF his first earnings and made good
to those who befricndcd him when he
was sorely in need
While it is true that it is only on
very rare occasions that the Board OF
Charities ever hears from those whom
it aids, yet this action must strengthen
the faith OF the charity officials in
human nature ii this man remains
honest, and such is likely to be the
case, he will regain his former standing
as useful member OF society. And
what more can any board OF charity
ask:

Washington as Manufacturing City.

A Northern automobile manufacturing
concern several months ago sought a
site for new plant for the manufac-
ture Of motor cars. The committee on
manufactures of the local Chamber of
Commerce succeeded in inducing the
firm, after a long parley, to locate in
Washington. The factory was eStab-
lished, and has been 50 successful that
the company has extended an invita-
ton to the Chamber of Commerce to
see for itself what has been accom-
plished."
That plant has been established some
months. and yet it is safe to say that
comparatively few persons know OF its
existence. Here is a pleasing instance
of what can be done in this direction,
even in a city as clean and quiet as
Washington. Neither annoying noise
nor dust nor an undesirable class of
laborers resulted from its establishment
The committee is greatly encouraged.
and it has a right to be. 1t hopes to
be able to show Others that this" city
is a good field for factories, especially
of this character. 1t means TO convince
the citizens that inducements ought to
be offered TO other corporations to
locate here Washington has shipping
facilities. 1t has fine river 1t has
also suitable sites to spare Those who
have the commercial development OF
our city really at heart ought to profit
by this lesson.
