If Honest, Nothing to Fear.

Upon the announcement OF an lnvestl-
CATION of the steel trust its stock ad-
vanced. The decline yesterday was at
tributed to trade conditions.
Ordinarily the menace of Congress
sional inquisition depresses corporate
securities. The steel trust officials, how
ever, say that they welcome an investi
ntion. They claim to have been COM
pletely vindicated by previous inquiry
made by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. and that in addition pub
licity will prove their superiority over
all rivals through superior equipment
and organization.
Corporations which have nothing to
conceal and which. on the other hand,
welcome the closest inspection have
nothing to fear.
There is no danger that their secur-
ities will suffer.
1t is only when there is a fraud upon
the public or inordinate profits are en-
joyed through special privileges, or
large dividends are paid upon fictitious
capitalization that corporations fear the
probe
If the steel trust is not a corpora
ton of this character. so much the better.

THE DRUNKARD's MONEY.
Fines Should Not Go to Police Court
but to Wife and Children.

Fines Should Not Go to Police Court,
but to Wife and Children.
From the New York Mail
Mayor Dickinson. of Titusville, Pa,
proposes a change in the judicial method
OF dealing with drunkards. which is
worthy Of legislative consideration. He
holds that a police court is not a legiti-
mate source OF municipal income, and
that. consequently. the fines exacted
from persons convicted of intoxication
should not be deposited in the public
treasury.
The money thus taken from a drunk
ard Is really taken from his family-in
other words. his wife and children are
punished for his offenses. Mayor Dick
inscn proposes that when a drunken man
is arrested he shall be taken before a
magistrate and searched. that all the
money and other valuables found in his
possession shall be turned over to his
family and the offender himself committed
to prison until he sobers up Why not?

slider the immense strides that have
been made during recent years, the
truly wonderful progress, we must not
set any limit to our hopes for what
the future holds in store.
This movement that we are working
on is not for the good of the United
States. Great Britain, or Canada alone.
1t aims to benefit the whole world. 1t
is only the duty of the more advanced
nations to take up this question"
Mr.. Bryce refused to discuss reciproc-
ity on the ground that that was poll
tics. Speaking Of the Scotch emigra-
ton. he said: "Of course. If they are
bound to leave old Scotland, I'd rather
see them come to Canada than any other
country. but I'm afraid Scotland cannot
spare many more.
Il am here to talk over Canadian
questions with my old friend, Earl
Grey. These Canadian questions are
always interesting to me, and I wish
to share ideas with him. We were in
the British Parliament together thirty
one years ago, and We travelled together
through Western North Africa twenty
eight years ago"

In this case there are contributions
from the employers and employees and
the state.
The exceptions to the compulsory
contributors are teachers and the army

The question Of organized labor or
