W. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by a
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
dlce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tions. The method of the present ma
tiDnal administration is to dissolve
tie great organizations and make
item smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor, writes W. L. Douglas. former
governor of Massachusetts,, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big. perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm-
er. They give opportunities to small
Investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
loung men who have no capital at
,lll. but who receive handsome sal
nries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that 1t could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac-
countant. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations Just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex-
anime the records Of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

Haven was under the shadow Of Yale

the home of Theodore B. woolsey.
then president Of Yale.
Among Major De Forests friends
was George H. Watrous. a prominent
lawyer Of New Haven. who afterwards
became president of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railway sys-
tenn. To him Major De Forest confid-
ed his purpose to write a novel the
leading features of which were to be
incidents of the war.
But" said Mr.. watrous. don't you
think 1t is too soon to do that? Il
seems to me that perhaps ten years
should elapse before any one attempts
TO write a novel based upon the war"
But" replied Major De Forest. the
incidents. especially of battles In
which took part. are all very fresh In
my mind" He further intimated that
II he did not write a war novel some
body else would. and Mr.. Watrous was
persuaded that Major De Forest was
ambitious to be first in the field with
a novel based on the war So no more
was said with the idea OF persuading
Major De Forest from his set purpose.
and somewhat more than a year later
came the announcement that a novel
Of the late war had been written by
participant In It. the well-known man
OF letters, Major John William De For
est. and that 1t would shortly be pub
lished.
The book was published in 1867. and
by the book critics II was well nigh
universally conceded to contain battle
descriptions that were unsurpassed In
literature. an opinion In which Mark
Twain. and others afterward concurred.
Especially was the description of the
land and water fight at Port Hudson
praised. But II was also well-nigh uni

the remark commonly made. and the
statement proved to be justified. Major
De Forest had given the novel the title

But his later works were more or less
