STEPHENSON'S
SEAT TOTTERS
Wisconsin Senator Bought
Election, Is Charged.

Washington, July 1.-The charge that
Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin purchased his seat has been form
ally presented for investigation, the
resolution adopted by the Wisconsin
legislature having been received by
Vice President Sherman. 1t was laid
before the senate and referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
The general sentiment among sena-
tors is that an investigation is newt
able; that the request Of the Wisconsin
legislature cannot be ignored.
The Wisconsin legislature %investi-
gated the charge that money was i'm
properly used in securing the election
of Stephenson. The house members Of
the committee did not return a specific
finding. The senate members declared
the election was secured by corruption
and named SOTO as the amount *
pended.
Edward Hines and his associates in
the Lumber trust are charged with
having engineered the campaign which
resulted In the selection of Stephenson.

- CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL ~
THE VALUE OF RELIGION.
nx WILLIAM Il. RANpEN.

Sometimes a man of pragmatlc
mind inquiries; What practical val
ue is there in religion?" Some re-
cent events serve to accentuate a re-
ply. When simply one sect of a re-
ligion not to mention all the adher-
ents of that religion, leave an abld-
ing mark on the political history of
any great nation, the answer itself is
patent.
The Pilgrims, fleeing persecution
in the home land, sought to establish
on these shores a commonwealth
where men should be free from those
prosecutions. But their idea of free
dom meant only freedom from prln-
ciples in which they did not believe,
and a freedom to live according to
principles In which they did believe.
In other words, there was no freedom
at all, but only liberty to exchange
a distasteful domination for Il
which was acceptable.
William Penn, in founding his
commonwealth, took one step for
ward; for he granted to all colonists
religious federation. There was still
one principle which was believed to
be right, and which was ever kept
to the fore; at the same time, those
who differed were tolerated.
1t remained for Roger Williams,
who tasted Of the prosecutions me-
ted by the Pilgrims, to establish a
commonwealth wherein full religious
liberty was granted unto all the c1tl-
zens. He belonged to a sect that
had been much prosecuted in various
parts of Europe, a small, un1mpor-
tant and despised sect. Nevertheless
he so fully believed that such were
the teachings of Scripture that he
had the temerity to found a colony
in which every man was permitted
to worship God according to the die
tates of his own conscience.
1t was the perfect democracy of
the small and scattered churches OF
this sect in Virginia that formed a
model in the working out of the con-
stitution of the United States of
America. 1t was this same sect, who
feared that the constitution as adop-
ted did not sufficiently safeguard re-
ligious freedom, that secured the
first amendment thereto, forever Sc
what had been denied them by eV-
cry other nation under the heavens.
And in Europe to-day the tendency is
all in the anne direction.
This sect has a name, flung at them
in derision centuries ago, a name not
fully descriptive of their belief, but
at least a name hat disprOves that
religion is of little practical value.
To-day they are the most numerous
religious body in the United States.

DECLARE STEEL
STOCK WATERED
Result OF Seven Years In
vsstiaation Made Public.

Washington, July 1.-The depart
ment of commerce and labor, after
nearly seven years of investigation,
has made public, by direction of Presi-
dent Taft, its report on the birth, or
ganization and present value of the
greatest trust on earth-the United
States Steel corporation.
The bureau of corporations fails,
however, openly to characterize the
combine as a monopoly, as 1t did the
tobacco trust and the Standard Oil
company. Obviously this is In the cor
p%oration's favor, so far as threatening
proceedings under the Sherman anti
trust law are concerned. The report
charges that the opportunity for reap
ing a huge promoters profit was an
other consideration that led to the
launching Of this giant corporation.
Commissioner Smith finds, after q
thorough investigation that has ex-
tended over several years, that the
steel corporation, when it was organic
ed In 1901, was heavily o~vercapital-
lied"
The entire issue Of S50S, OOO, 900 of
the common stock, the commissioner
declares, had no physical property
back of 1t, and from one-ffth to two
ifths of preferred stock was likewise
unprotected by tangible assets.
Even granting" says the commits
sioner, that there may have been a
nnnG11nysu hln Unlnn In tho into pr~tEIo
considerations, it Is reasonably clear
that at least the entire issue Of COM
mon stock, except in so far as what
may be termed merger value may be
considered. represented nothing but
water"
The commissioner finds that In the
years that have elapsed since the steel
corporation came into existence con
siderable OF the water has beer
squeezed out through additional in
vestments made partly from earnings.
The excess of capitalization over in
vestment at the end of last year, as
figured by Commissioner Smith, was
1921 ,051 ,222, as compared with $780,
S4G,S17 of water in 1901.
The report is unsparing In its con-
demnation of the commission paid to
the syndicate which underworld Unit
ed States Steel. This syndicate, he
charges, got $62, 100000, of which one
fifth. $12,5 1000. went to ]. P. Morgan
& Co. as syndicate managers.
The commissioner makes the start
ling statement that at least $15 O,OOO,-
900 Of the steel corporations stock, in
Guiding $4,000 900 Of the preferred
stock in 1901, went directly, or in
directly, for promotion or underwriting
services. The enormous amount in
cludes Of course the old commissions
allowed promoters of earlier combina-
tons, which were finally embraced
within the United States Steel corpora
ton.
AS regards the production Of steel,
the commissioner finds that the rela-
tive proportion Of the business con
trolled by the trust has been gradually
diminishing since Its organization. The
corporation, according to the govern
ment's figures, now controls only a lit
tie more than 90 per cent of the
crude and finished steel production as
against 90 per cent in 1901.
