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

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
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 n
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
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
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t 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 1t could not be
misunderefond II chould roottira NIL
capital to be paid In full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public ac-
countaint. There should be board
OF examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just MS our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

Book for Holding Various coIored
Silks 10 Always a Most We'll
come GIT.

An inexpensive gift for the woman
who sews or embroiders is a book
made of stiff cardboard backs, four
by ten inches. and covered with heavy
silk or an art linen in dull colors.
Embroider across the upper face

PUTTING ON THE TRIMMINGS
Girl OF Slender Purse Need Not Go
Without a Touch That Would
MAKE" New Frock.

The girl of slender purse who is
attracted by the graceful imported
garnitures of beaded fringe shown on
some of the most attractive gowns of
the present season need not feel 1t
obligatory on her either to be extrav-
agant or to go without the touch that
would make her new frock.
Beads in themselves are not rela-
lively expense, and with well chos-
en- assortment of these and few long
needlefuls of silk either to match or
contrast with that of the ground work
plain silken fringe may be trans
formed into one that need be no imi-
tation OF any shown on the latest i'm
portations, but--may, rather, have the
far more desirable quality Of original
beauty In its devising.
The best method Of attaching these
somewhat fragile and elusive dan
gles' is to knot the threading silk
firmly, first In the heading of the
fringe. then, at the proper distance,
around the bead, and again in the
heading with another knot, so that
each bead Tor set OF beads. If more
than one Is desired on each loop) is
entirely secure, both In itself and az
regards Its. neighbors.

The Feminine jury.

The beautiful young prisoner en-
tered the box in her own behalf.
What is your age, Miss?" asked
the lawyer.
'Forty-eight," was the steady reply.
The feminine jury caught it's breath
with an audible little gasp and sat
there rigid.
How much did you pay for the hat
you are wearing?"
''Ninety-eight cents
Are you guilty of the crime that is
charged against your
NO"
Thus did the willy prisoner attempt
to establish her veracity and then con-
vince the jury that she was innocent.
But don't forget that this was jury
of women. A verdict of incurable in
sanity was brought in.

Net BIouses.

After lapse OF season or two net
blouses have been revived once more.
this time 1t is Paris who calls them
back into favor once more and some of
the recently arrived French blouses
have been of sheer nets.
In keeping with the present vogue.
these new blouses frequently show
wide, frilly. fiuffy side ruffles. which
may be of the same net as the blouse
proper. or of colored net or chiffon.
Usually they are rather simply in
style, however, with daring touch of
color. band Of black satin. vivid
tie or some little touch to distinguish
them. And though many of them are
made from sheer nets, chiefly Brussels.
others are of fancy nets or beautiful
aces.

WORKS WITHOUT FAITH

A Bay State belle talks thus about
coffee:
While a coffee drinker was a suf
ferer from indigestion and intensely
painful nervous headaches, from child
hood.
Seven years ago my health gave

the exertfon Of walking. II only few

tried faithfully to get relief from med

ployed all kinds Of drugs. the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
It was in his power to cure me.

duced me to quit coffee and try Post

Silence is Golden.

1t is to be regretted that among the
dozen and one unnecessary things
which the modern girl is taught, some
deep-thinking person has not added
to the list that most necessary thing
for a girl to learn. the art Of silence.
Silence is tremendous power in
this day of talkative women. Besides
1t is infinitely nicer to have some
depth which every passing acquaint-
ance has not sounded. The girl who
confides to you the story of her past
firtations and the secret hope her
heart is set upon the second day Of
your acquaintance VIII soon bore you,
II she does not actually disgust you.
There is no subject in the world
that cannot be discussed with pro-
priety with the right persons and un-
der the right conditions. But few
girls seem to possess the eye of dis
elimination for these two facts. On
the contrary. they frequently seem
rather to pride themselves on discus
sing the wrong subject with the
wrong person.

.HENWOOD IS
FOUND GUILTY
Ending Of Denvers Sensational Mur-
der Trial Comes After Jury
Had DeIIberated for
Fourteen Hours,
Will TAKE AN APPEAL
Convicted Man Intends to Flight for
Freedom After Being Found
Guilty Of Second Degree
Murder.

DENVER, Colo, June 30.-Frank H.
Henwood, who was found guilty OF
murder in the second degree for kill
ing George E. Copeland in the bar
room of the Brown Palace Hotel, May
20, will move for a new trial within
the ten days allowed
When the verdict had been read,
as he was about to be taken back to
his cell, Henwood said he thought he
would be granted new trial. If not
by Judge Whitford, then by the SUI
preme court And then l will be
cleared of everything he said.
District Attorney Elliott announced
he would insist upon the beginning OF
trial on the second charge against
Henwood-that of killing s. l.. Won
Phul--on July 5, whether or not the
motion for a new. trial in the Cope
land case shall have been disposed OF.
The jury received the case at 10
o'clock at night and considered 1t for
over fourteen hours before returning
the verdict. 1t is said about a dozen
ballots were taken, and from the first
the jurors were unanimous for
conviction, the only disagreement be-
ing the degree of guilt The jury was
about evenly divided between first
and second degree murder up to the
noon hour, when they all agreed on
| second degree verdict.
.'I am disappointed, Of course. he
said, '.but I am sure that If second
+ trial is granted, / ultimately will re-
! gain my freedom"
| The jurymen refused to be inter-
/ viewed. Foreman John Baxter said
/ that they had made a compact not to
disclose what happened in the jury
room
The charge on which Henwood was
| tried charged wilful, deliberate muir
1 der, and the plea of Henwood was
self-defense. This plea was based
on previous quarrels between Won
Phul and Henwood, during two OF
which blows were struck. The de-
tense also claimed that Won Phul was
reaching for gun, and taat HenWood
fired fearing his life was in danger.
When arrested Henwood expressed
no regret over the shooting of Won
Phul, but said he was sorry he wound
ed innocent persons. He told the chief
of police and reporters that the
trouble was over chorus girls.
1t developed however, that Henwood
had been trying to compel Won Phul
to return letters written to Won Phui
by Mrs. John w. Springer, society
woman and wife of Denver banker.
After the shooting of Won Phul ana
Copeland, Mrs. Springer has been
sued for divorce, and the hearing has
been set for next month.

WASHINGTON June s0.-"There
perjury right here.''
This startling declaration was made
by Senator Kenyon Of Iowa when Ed
ward Hines of Chicago. the storm cen
ter of the second Lorimer investiga-
ton, was on the witness stand.
Il will not be asleep on that end of
it when you get around to it," quickly
responded the witness.
The room was packed and jammed
with spectators. When the Iowa SEN
ator made this statement a thrill
passed over the room. 1t is taken as
a definite announcement that members
of the committee are going to the
bottom of Senator Lorimer's election
and every story told in : connection
with it, even If 1t leads to the Grim
inal prosecution of witnesses. 1t is
calculated to put all witnesses yet to
be heard on notice that they will dc
we'll to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
The explosion" came after Mr.
Hines had been on the witness stand
for several hours and had repudiateo
absolutely the story told by Clarence
s. Funk about the alleged 100000
corruption fund in connection with the
| election of Senator Lorimer, the viz
orous and bitter recital of Writ H
