 she began. 'I don't suppose Kip4ns

 Penney read the verse which counsegs
 men to avoid the vengeance of the
 squaws 'HNow as a matter Of fact,

 MT. Shipney explained >Tf1e torture

 squaws after the battles. It was just , custom, that was all" To the males in the hall 1t seemed
 as if the remark was rather easuat way to treat such thing as torture, but the subject was changed lnrne- diately for another lady stood up and said:
 .It takes a man too long to decide anything anyway. A woman settles things immediately, why one time down in Providence my husband and matter for five days. He asked me
 how I'd settle it and it was settled tn five minutes" The first applause Of the afternoon arose at this point That's true, said the next memOer "I taught school for many years and they had to bring the hard cases to us women, men can't handle them Why I loved my scholars, too. they used to call me The Old Hen and her chickens I loved them as such as did my own.'

 Mr. Shipley is instructor in biology at Yale and was asked by Mrs. Herz' the president, to appear before the club and defend Kipling's attitude. He did, even though Mrs. Hyde. who was to rake R. K. over the coals, wlth- drew at the last minute and left MT Shipley to both explain and defend the poem He had his troubles when the general discussion opened, for the chance to ask sarcastic questions.
 .In the poem, Kipling answers the press in it's attitude against woman suffrage. He puts in it the opposition of the English maie voter to g1vlng women political equality. woman is impelled to defend her young an as animal is, by instinct, the female of any species cannot stop to reason out why. It is her nature to defend them by every means in her power. When a. Woman's children are grown, she turns her mind to other things and Tn the same manner Is impelled to de1eno her convictions by every means in her power, ethical or unethical For the children of her mind or of her body, she uses the same methods of defense.
 ."The uncompIimentary part of the poem relates to the male. Kipling is no advocate of political equality NOT is he attempting to insult the London suffragette, but to defend her acts
 MT. Shipley closed his address, ana the three male members of the audi ence perked right up. There wasn't anything to take issue with there They were willing to be insulted by Kipling, if it was going to help the sui fragettes. But they did n4 know the club The gentle art of heckling then began, for MT. Shipley was asked If he would answer questions. He ln- nocently said he would-said he'd be glad to.
 Mrs Penny was the first to demand attention of the chair. '..Wil1 MT. Ship lev tell us why if men went to civic war and broke into fine churches to get suffrage, why that isn't the way for women to do, too?"
 Mrs HerZ interrupted before the speaker of the afternoon answered.: MT Shipley looks at it as a rebuke to man, we women look at it as re- buke to women, we can't see it the same way"
 .aThe poem puts women in a poor light" protested Mrs. Penney. 'He makes women out stubborn, says that she don't take time to decide and to consider. What can you say of the men who started the lynch 1aw?'' Mir. Ship1ey didn't say anything and there were smiles. from the members. "I think the poem ought to be stop ped,' cofcluded Mrs. Penney.

be taken.
 If Congress chooses to add to that a well considered law, which has been submitted to the able business mer- chants, manufacturers, and bankers, and pronounced "conservative," it will do us a great good. TO-doy the Gov ernment simply is saying: ''Do not do wrong, and then you will do right; but as we doubt all of you and as we think it likely that any large corporation has sinned against the law, you are all un- der suspicion, and we shall examine you, and, meantime, we shall, as it were, publish you"
 Nothing material in this world has value unless it is of use and in use. Shops and houses in street or city to bricks and mortar. Factories or rail- roads not in use are waste. Capital is only the result of work and cannot be separated from work. If capital is not in use-that is, if it is hidden in boxes or the ground, or sent abroad, mse to us, the American Nation. The Government is causing disuse of many things.
 Capital employed in manufacturing establishments or railroads or banks is doing the country good. The divis- ion of profits may be unjust, but on the whole, the laws Of trade will wipe out this injustice. But there is no such folly as driving capital into dis use if the material condition of the country is to be considered. What one man loses another man gains, if an enterprise is sound.
 Therefore, do not banish enterprise Men are afraid that their neighbors will make more money than they. If they did not fret themselves about it and did not wish to pull down their neighbors, but to build themselves up, the world would go on better
 Our Administration and Congress may well think over these points, for they rest on the natural laws of the world, which are eternal. The laws of Congress are not eternal.

believe that the Sherman law is bad It should have told business cor porations how they could do their bus mess and not how they could not do 3t. But it is fair to suppose that it is now, not being interpreted in the dense which Senators Edmunds and Hoar, who wrote it. meant that 1t Should be. They were men of good interpreted and used. it is destructive
 The Government is using the law fufhlessly, declaring that 1t will be forced no matte what the conseQuen- ees may be. and it adds to the indict- nnents considerable attacks on men of SciousIy done anything wrong.
 E If the characters of our best men are injured or ruined by the Govern ment in the person of the Attorney General, it is a great injury to our country, for character goes beyond and easily lost. Men will pay fines, will suffer hardships, but they will not allow themselves to be slandered if they can help it.
 & If a Director or manager of a manu- featuring establishment asks the Gov Simply Is told: "Do nothing wrong and you will be all right"-a reply that really is childish and fit only for the primer of day school. Yet such 5 the answer sent from Washington. In one or two instances the Govern ment is reversing the decisions of for mer administrations. It is declaring Chat President Roosevelt did not know what hs was doing when he aIioweo fhe Tennessee Coal and Iron Company 10 be taken in, or rather that he be- 1feved the two men coming to him that it was to be done to save a worse pan 4c, when in. fact, it was done for profit.
 This assertion is purely sensational. For years the Tennessee Coal and Iron \ G:ompany had been Wall Street foot bah, had no doubt great value, and, oD far as any one knew, had been badly managed. Up to date it is hard
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-11-28

to see that it has been a profitable property.
 The fact remains that neither the business men nor the lawyers who ad- wise them understand the meaning of the sherman law, Or wherein any cor poration may sin against it. They can get no information from Washing ton, except through the decisions of the Supreme Court-and these decis- ions must be much delayed.
 CAPITAL TIMID.
 Therefore, any man wishing to un- dertake an enterprise will hesitate or refuse to undertake it because he does not care to sin against the law, and he certainly does not wish to be at- tackled. And men in their own enter prises hesitate, draw in, and do as little as possible, because they do not know what is legal, for it is evident that the words 'legaI'' and right, which should be synonymous, are not so.
 Beyond all this one notes that judg- ment in attacking the corporations is not used. Therefore, people are frightened, and business languishes Of course, this will react on the man who lives from his daily wages, and it will bear much harder upon him than upon any capitalist or small in veStOr
 A great many people can go on quietly living on what they have, but the workman must have his wages o1 he starves. The Government will have to contemplate great many hungry mouths until this enforcement of bad law is given up.
 Meanwhile, it is difficult to believe that politics has nothing to do with it. We have known for a couple of months that the officials in the South ern States and many of the planters were trying to make a. league in or der to hold up the price of cotton. Ii this is not in restraint of trade, what is?
 The interesting thing about this ex- perment- is to see that they cannot dc it, which ought to be a lesson to oul representatives that the natural laws will act, notwithstanding any legisla- ton at Washington or elsewhere. IT short, they can only impede and can-

lot prevent the world moving on.

not prevent the world moving on.
 This attempt at a cotton combina- tion, for which aid was sought in New York and now is sought abroad, is sin ful, if the Sherman law has any val ue. But, of course, the cotton plant CTS will says as the wheat farmers and corn farmers say, that they raise the crops and they have a right to ask what they please for their products.
 No power on earth can prevent this combination and it will succeed or not, according to the laws of trade, and not if anybody is to be attacked let the Government attack them.
 1t is not to be disputed that a cer- tain control over the corporations is advisable and perhaps necessary. Men have come to regard the public good as paramount, but, of course, they cannot forget themselves. If our Con- gress would busy itself in making a law which is constructive and not destructive, like the Sherman law, as to-day interpreted, it would do a great good.
 It may demand things; it can require publicity to the fullest extent. Very likely commerce court or commiS- sion, such as President Roosevelt sug- gested and as President Taft has sug- gested, might so regulate business that people would be content, for what business men need, like everybody else, is to know. what they can and cannot do. No wise man wishes to have un- limited power, and certainly no man to-day dreams that he can have abso- lute power to do just as he pleases- indeed, most men would ask that some limit be put upon their own power in order that they should not become too arrogant or even cruel
 The same remark applies to Con- gross and to our legislators; and, un- fortunately, in Congress and in our Legislatures, there are rarely men who understand the laws and needs of trade, and, unfortunately, these Ma tiona1 and State representatives do not believe that most men are honest
 On the whole, it is much wiser to be honest than to be dishonest. Hones- ty cannot be attacked with success; dishonesty will be attacked sooner or later.
 Also, it should be understood that combinations are essential. Unlimited competition is sure to result in mo- nopoly. But, as our country is con stituted, a monopoly hardly exists. If it does exist the common law will take care of it, and we need no Sher- man law for such purpose.
 BANKING AND CURRENCY.
 One thing has been urged op the Ad- ministrations and on Congress for years, and has been neglected, viz, a good banking and currency law. When crisis comes it can be met if mon- ey can be had by any reputable man or firm.
 It is not to be forgotten that the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-11-28
money is all in existence. The supply

money is all in existence. The supply has not been diminished, and cannot be diminished unless people hide it in boxes. It is merely question of put ting it where it can do the most good. If the banks all over the United States are so grouped and ruled that money needed in Charleston, S. C., can be got from New York, or Seattle can furnish Chicago with extra funds-in short, when the banks all stand to- gether the money will go where it is most wanted. (This always supposes proper Security.)
 The money, however, should come to honest, reputable borrowers. AS af- fairs now are it is the small man who is squeezed out; it is the small shop keeper, trader, Or investor who is sac rificed, and the profits go to the larger men who have money or who can get it.
 In short, every panic enriches the rich people and injures the poor peO- pie, unless they are so poor as to have nothing; and, at any rate, it 1njures the men of moderate means and mod crate credit. Our banking system as now arranged is most undemocratic; it is antiquated, foolish, and the re- suits would have been much worse in 1907 and the three or four panics be- fore it if the bank Presidents had not seen the proper cOurse-that is, to join hands all around in each considerable city and help one another.
 Just now we have seen something of shake in Europe, and the banks immediately helped each other. Half a dozen years ago in Germany two of the very large banks were opponents in business, each seeking to increase its own profits and strength. In a trou- bled time one of the banks was talked of as not strong. The opposing bank immediately went into the market and offered to take all the loans of this bank off its hands, and it made known this fact. The consequence was that the doubted bank regained it's position at once. This is simply good business.
 Congress can do no wiser thing, than adopt the plan now ready in our Unit ed States Treasury for banking and currency. It is doubt which is para lyzing business; it is doubt which brings on panfcs. As regards busi- ness men, large and small, almost without exception, they are willing to pay for money in a hard time but they want it. They do not grumble about the rates, but they want the money, and they can give excellent security for it.
 k TO PREVENT PANICS.
 Our panics are a disgrace to our land and have been so for fifty years or more, during which time we have had half a dozen. And it is to be borne in mind that, in adopting this plan, Congress will do more to make things even and comfortable for everybody and more especially for the small peo- pie. than any other measure that can
