Resigns JudgeShip to Take
Part in Politics.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Peter S Grosscup
has served notice that he will resign
from the Federal bench Immediately after
| October J.
Epitomized. the reasons the judge gave
| for his impending action was that he
wished to get out OF office in order 10
have larger liberty as an individual
! and in order that he might take part in
the big politics that he believes are i'm
pending. And he repeated these reasons
as the real ones for his action when
he was fOun at the ExmOOr Club later
in the evening.
Has there been any intimation from
Washington that you should resign
was the impertinent question he was
asked. No" he saiC gravely, and them
his eyes twinlled as he added If there
had been any such intimation l would
not resign
What is the reason for your sudden
determination to leave the Federal
bench?" the reporter continued
Il gave my reasons in the little state
ment made public" said the judge. Il
really want TO get out of office to have
more freedom, more liberty as a Citi-
zen and an individual.
And then | expect to mix in politics
a little. just as | said | think there are
to he important changes in the politics
OF the country. l desire to take my part
in way that l could not if l remained

probably will think we will have a re-
division of the American people upon

What do YOU think those lines will

The control Of the corporations, the
public mOnupUli"s.' ne said without any
Hesitation.
Tile real issue is going to he over the
control and regulation Of mOnnpUli-s. The
big corporations are the creations of the
State, and the State should control them.
! would not control their operations. but
their profits. I would not fix the prices
they should charge for their products.
but l would fix their dividends. | would
limit those dividends to a reasonable re-
turn upon their investments"
We have got TO deal with the big cor
porations,' the judge went on. just as
We deal with the labor unions. Those
unions are described as combinations in
the Sherman act. They may do great
good OF great harm. As long as they do
good they are not inhibited in their Oper-
atiOns. 1t is only when they become a
menace to the welfare of the nation that
they are restricted. And they are not
considered a menace until they do a
wrong act. l would give the corpora tions
The mOnOpolies-the same treatment.
We permit them to get monOpolics, and.
Of course. We have right to say how
much they make out of the power we
give them.
Mr. Rockefeller" the judge said has
a right as an individual to make as much
as he can. But Mr. Rockefeller with a
charter from the State in his pocket is a
different person. and has the right TO
make from that charter only what the |
State thinks is fair and reasonable"

Indianapolis, Sept 19.-Canadian repre-
sentatives in the Sovereign Grand Lodge

the unanimous action of the lodge in Sc
lecting Winnipeg, Manitoba, as next
years meeting-place of the sovereign
body
Friction between the governing bodies
Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge and the
Fatriarchs Militant, the military branch
of the order, is reaching the danger
point, because of the recommendation Of
the grand sire. John B. CoCkrum. that
the office of commander of the Patri-
archs Militant be made appOintive instead
of elective.
This question is regarded as the most
important yet proposed to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge. The military council Of the
Patrtarchs Militant voted almost unani-
mously against the recommendation of
the grand sire.
In submitting to the Sovereign Grand
Lodge as a part of his report decisions
on forty-nine lodge questions which had
come to him during the last year, Grand
Sire John B. CoCkrum carried the ap-
prOvai of the judiciary committee of the

Making Scrap Books.

The very best kind of scrap book for
the nursery is one made of linen. color
ed cambric or muslin. Cut four pieces.
"a by II inches, and buttonhole stitch
the edges Then stitch down the
middle, fold over and stitch again
along the folded edges to make the
book stay shut The edges may be
scallopcd instead of buttonholed. Ad-
vertisements may be cut from news
papers and magazines and by combin-
ing them make very funny pictures.
Another kind of scrap book can be
made from a blank book which has all
of the leaves cut across about Il third
of the way down. Cut from picture
cards or old books figures of men.
women, boys or girls, and. cutting of
the heads. paste the bodies on the
larger part of the page and the heads
on the smaller part so they just fit to-
gether. By only turning part of the
pages, either the upper or lower. at a
time, each body can be made to fit a
different head But you must be care
full to paste the pictures SO that any
head will join any body. A linen book
can be made in the same way.
Make the paste by mixing one halt
cup Of flour with cold water to make
smooth thin batter. Stir continually
Remove from the fire as soon as it
boils and add three drops of cloves.
