FEDERAL CONTROL
SAYS W|CKERSHAM
Would Extend ii Over All Great
Industries.
A PLAN TO CONTROL PRICES.
Attorney General Declares That
Government Commission Should
Resu ate All industrial
Corporations.

Duluth. .-- Attorney General Wick
ersham, before the Minnesota State
Bar Association here, took an adj
vanced stand on the further Federal
regulation of corporations and de-
clared that a government commission
to regulate great industrial organ
izations in the same way that tho
Interstate Commerce Commission
regulate railways, was certainly most
desirable and that It might be alb
soutely necessary. Mr.. Wicker
sham's speech was little short of sem
sational in many of its features lie
declared that 1t was a matter Of seri-
Gus consideration whether 1t would
be practical to give to the proposed
interstate corporation commission the
power to fix prices. To do this in
theory would simply require an eX-
tension of the principle by which the
Interstate Commerce Commission
controls the rates on railroads.

CONTRIBUTION TO
HELP HARRISON
Sugar Trust Gave $4,000 to
Campaign Fund.
PIONEER OF AMERICAN TRUST
John e Parsons, Former Attorney Tor
the Company, Bsiore House
lnvestisa Ing Committee
---Proud OF It.

New York.-The American Sugar
Refining Company contributed $1O,-
900 to help Benjamin Harrison IN
one of his campaigns for the presl-
dency against Grover Cleveland. The
contribution was told Of by John o..
Parsons, former attorney for the
company, in his testimony before the
Congressional committee which is In
yestigating the affairs OF the social
ed trust. He could not remember
whether it was the first or the second
Harrison campaign.
Mr.. Parsons frankly boasted that
! he was the pioneer in the formation
OF the American trust" and was
proud of it, but secuted the idea that
the Sugar Trust constituted mon
opoly such as the Standard Oil or
American Tobacco Companies.
The committee spent the afternoon
visiting several sugar reiineries IN
this vicinity, and held informal con-
ferences with many superintendent,
but took no testimony.
Mr.. Parsons opposed Federal in
corporation law for local corpora
tions, although he said such law
might be beneficial for public sery-
Ice corporations. He opposed the
law which permits the government
to examine the books, question the
officers and obtain the secrets OF a
corporation.
81 strongly condemn the modern
theory of publicity of corporation af-
fairs" he said. "lt is unjust to the
American citizen that he should be
compelled to make his private affairs
public"
In reply to questions by Mr.. Sulzer,
Mr.. Parsons repudiated the many
| statements which have been made
that H. o. Havemeyer was the one
power in the sugar trust and that
the board of directors did as he bade.

SAVING AND EARNING.
McConnellsburg, Pa.

A Chicago millionaire came to this
country In 1871, with l2 cents in his
pocket. The other day, referring to
Il, he said he laid down this rule:
Never to be out Of work and never
70 spend as much as you earn" 1t
was that rule that made him a mil
lionaire, and that is the kind Of mil
lionalre that is entitled to honor. His
idea is that II is good for man TO
save, for economy is a healthy habit,
says the Ohio State Journal. As a rule
men can live on half they spend, have
better health. and can do more work.
Let a man sit down and make a list
of what he needs, not scantily but
beautifully. and he win be surprised
how many things he can cut out and
yet keep body and mind In fine con-
dition. There are many things that
one buys that are the objects of his
fancy He sees them and wants
them; II he didn't see them he
wouldn't want them. We once heard
OF man who would NOT go to market,
because he said, he wanted to buy ev-
erything, and succeeded in buying
much he did not need. II is possible
TO live well on meals that average
only 10 cents per capita. In a school
on the west side they do II, and that
little club of teachers are hearty and
happy as robins in a cherry tree. We
must get out of the idea that great
chunks of heavy food are required for
energy As rule they reduce ii.

are present methods and modes of
procedure the best that can be done to
obtain greater success. We say that
the greatest success was in Baptist
enthusiasm and oratory, therefore
God could get more out OF each con-
vention if other ways were adopted.
First, let the convention assemble
every three years at some central
place in the United States. Let the
several boards as now constituted
with full executive authority, do the
business assigned them; let the Bap-
fists of each city or district appoint
one of its best men or women to can
.vass and speak to each church and
keep its members well worked up to
"a sense of duty in the spirit OF mis-
sions. home and abroad. Let each or
ganization faithfully do It's ICte@
Christian duty by sending to the sev-
eral boards by mail. all the money
they need to do their work These
methods would give to God the ra1i
expense for two years. At each tr1-
ennial session let each State delega-
ton sit together with its State banner,
and when each State Is called, let her
respond in order by the spokesman
of each delegation. The expense OF
one convention saved would enable
the convention through its home
mission board to buy a thousand acres
of land and erect buildings thereon
and put to work a thousand boys and
girls, which are now found in eacf
large city. Training in Christian Cul-
ture work. drill and discipline, is what
