Almost all questions large and small are settled

w. [. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN |
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back 20
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tions. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller. which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing large and legiti-
sible under the licensing plan which
I 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 consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it 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 it 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
countaint. 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 nx-
anime the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

Whims of Parrots.

ut Is odd" said the bird store
keeper. but it is true, how people
come into bird store and expect to
open up conversation with a parrot
offhand. They fail and then make up
their mind that the parrot is worthless.
This will apply to majority of seekers
after a talking parrot. They do not
give the bird. credit for the sense it
actually possesses. There are parrots
valued at anywhere from $50 to $500
that will not be coaxed into converse
ton with a stranger nor while he is
present. although they are the very
best of takers. Parrots often refuse
to perform when there are purchasers
looking on. but once the store is clear
Of them they will chatter away through
their whole vocabulary as If their very
lives depended on their being heard.
This obstinacy often spells good sales.
Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo-
man much quicker and freer than to
boy or a man" -Browning's Monthly.

either India or China. In one of John
Asht0ns works on England he cites a
case in which boy charged with
gambling stated that the money found
in his possession had been made by
picking tea leaves. This led to the dis
covery that many persons made liv-
ing by picking sloe leaves and white
thorn leaves in the fields near Gambler
well and selling them to local cow
keeper for penny pound. One man
said he picked from fifty to sixty
pounds day and always found mar
ket for them. The leaves were subse-
quently sold to wholesale merchant,
who obtained as much as shillings a
pound for them under the guise Of tea.
The merchant was prosecuted and
fined, not for adulteration. but for de-
frauding the revenue. And the "tea
leafer' is still the slang name for the
petty thief.-London Standard.

the way they bring up their babies.

eggs every day, and, being far apart,
they would not hatch together. When
the nest is prepared therefore, all the
ladies' in the neighborhood are invited
to contribute an egg apiece, the hostess
returning the favor in due time.

New York, June 17.-F'ive big coast
ing vessels are tonight deserted by sea-
men, stewards, hremen, and stokers as
a result of a strike declared today by
the International Seaman's Union
against the Morgan line. Officials an
nounced tonight that the Momus. with
ninety nine passengers aboard. would
sail Monday The El Cid. freighter,
scheduled to sail today. is now sur
rounded by picketing tugs, manned by
sailors, lowering near to dissuade the
strike breakers from enlisting.
The strikers held a mass meeting
this afternoon near the waterfront and
state they are willing to fight all sum-
mer." General Secretary Griffin of the
Seaman's Union, said tonight the first
days strike was a greater success than
had been hoped for.
Organizers of the coastwise seaulen
have said that they control between
$4,000 and 20, 900 men and that a gen.
eral strike order, If obeyed, would tie
up all coastwise shipping but the gem
eral situation will not take form until
Sunday, when a mass meeting will be
held.
The Momus was due to sail at noon.
Earlier in the day, S. Ira Cooper, of
counsel for the Morgan Line, said:
"All this trouble is being stirred UP
by walking delegates, who are trying
to show that they are doing something
to earn their salaries
