creates, said Governor Wilson, and 1t
cannot righteously allow the setting
up of a business which has no sound
basis, or which follows methods which
in any way outrage justice or fair
dealing or the principles of honest in
dustry." Therefore the governor spoke
in his message of "the imperative
obligation of public policy and public
honesty we are under to effect such
changes in the law of the state as will
henceforth effectually prevent the
abuse of the privilege of incorporation
which has, in recent years, brought so
much discredit upon our state" He
decided that scrutiny and regulations
to this end Ought not to be confined
to corporations seeking charters" but
ought also ito be extended to corpora
tons already operating under the IL
cense and authority of the state"
Harmful trusts, like all other cor
porations, are creations of law. If
| lawmaking bodies had not made some
Incorporation statute too liberal, many
of the trusts of which so much com.
plant is made could not have come
into existence.

Assuming without definite knowledge
on the subject that Governor Wilson

Mayor Gaynor, in a public statement,
asked why no governor had sent a
message TO the legislature of that

Governor Wilson called attention to his

TAKE THE TAXES OFF FOOD.

When II is considered that many Of
the 10000 strikers at Lawrence, Mass,
earn only S. or Sc a week in one Of
the most highly favored OF the tariff
protected industries, IL is easily to be
seen that there is reason in Governor
Foss' demand that congress take the
taxes on food
A tax on food. however. should be
condemned on general principles. No
such pitiable scenes as are now wit
messed at Lawrence should be needed
TO convince honest men that taxes on
food In the main are cruel and wicked.
In this country taxes on food were
first imposed as a 3oke-to fool the
farmer and make him think that he
was getting something out of the
tariff
For many years they were inopera-
tive. but now that combination, con-
spiracy and cold storage have come
into play they pinch and they pinch
hard.
A government that taxes food for
the benefit OF middlemen is false to
itself and false TO the majority of the
people.

BUSY WILLIAM.

BILLY" Mckinley. congressman from
the Champaign district, is a busy lit
tie man. He not only runs the great
eat interurban syndicate probably in
the world, but he is chairman of the
congressional committee of the repuD-
lican party and general manager of
Bill Tafts campaign.
Under these circumstances it is a
little difficult TO see how Mr.. McKin-
ley will have time to earn the salary
Of $500 a year which is due him as
a member OF congress.
But there are some men that can
do a great deal and Mr.. Mckinley
seems to be one Of those who at least
thinks he can.

CLEAR CASE.
~ DUNCAN N. SMITH

WHEN every poem speaks Of her:
When through the songs you hear
In very pleasant undertone
Her name Is running clear:
When In the darkness or the day
You always see her face
Before you smiling everywhere,
You know 1t Is q case.
When every bird upon the bough.
When every modest bloom
That lightens up the forest glade
And sheds Its sweet perfume
Somehow recalls her merry eye.
Her cheeks. her lips, her throat,
Then. as in Slangland we observe,
You know she has your goat.
When every step reminds you Of
The patter OF her shoe;
When every ribbon floating by
A message has for you;
Though far away In distant lands
Your thoughts to her elope.
Then you may guess your case is quite
Beyond the realms Of hope.
By certain tokens you may know
II love has cast its spell
II she alone is in your mind
It isn't hard to tell.
II you can think Of nothing else,
Though you may think a lot.
You'd better hunt a preacher up
And have him tie the knot.

DRINKING WATER AT MEALS


Pursuant to a tradition of long
standing, 1t is a common custom to
forbid the drinking OF water at meal
time. There was a time when such
advice appeared most reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils at
the University Of Illinois have been
investigating during the last few
years, the correctness of the current
attitude toward this question, with
results quite at variance with the
traditional idea. When the influence
of water-drinking with meals was ex-
amined by direct experiment on man
the alleged direful consequences we're
found missing. There were no appar-
rent i'll effects. On the contrary, the
general conclusion from all the find
ings is that If water is taken with
meals there Is a better digestion and
more complete utilization of food. A
pronounced improvement in the diges-
ibility OF fat is also observed.
Since there is a constant tendency,
at least among persons whose know
ledge of the given subject is slight, TO
carry to extremes conclusions de.
rived from experiments, it seems
worth while to add a warning against
the indiscriminate and excessive use
of large quantities Of water Further.
more, that nothing has been said that
is intended to lend any support to the
American custom of drinking water
that is ice-cold. The experiments Of
Professor Hawk and his pupils indi
cate that our ideas with regard to the
drinking of water may have to be re
vised, but we must wait for reports Of
observations from a larger body Of
observers. In the meantime we may
allow water more freely with meals
subject to the individual exceptions
which experience brings out.

The Field of Literature

panion is a big advance spring fashion
number and it is filed with the latest
fashion news from Paris, New York
and other great centers. Grace Mar
garet Gould, the we'll known fashion
authority, who edits this important de-
partment for the Companion, has, as
usual, done her work thoroughly, inter-
estingly and practically. Women of
ordinary means can find in her pages
suggestions for spring clothes that are
artistic and up to date, and yet eco
nomical
The special features of the Compan-
ion this month are unusually entertain
ing and Informative. There is great
array of fiction and a number of nota-
BILE articles, titles Of some of which
| follow: "Maude Adams" an illustra-
| ted description of the work of Amer
/ ica's leading actress; How Laws Are
/ Made" an article by the vice president
of the United States; The Girl With
Voice." being an account of the ad-
ventures of young woman who pre-
pared for opera singing; "A Business
/ Woman in Politics. being a descrip-
ton Of the work Of the food inspector of
the city of Tacoma, who is a woman,
and when Baby is Sick an article
on the illness Of children by DR.. Roger
II. bennett.
The many other departments in the
Companion, aside from the fashion de
partment, are filled with facts and ideas
and suggestions of interest and value.
The March American Maeazlne.-The
March American magazine contains the
first authentic report published in this
country of certain highly important
discoveries in a London laboratory as
20 the relative strength, both mental
and physical, of the younger children
of family as compared with the older
children. After examining thousands
OF cases the evidence seems to be tina;
the first two children in a family are
not, in the majority of cases, as strong
mentally and physically as those that
come later. The point for American
readers Of course is that economic
pressure, which increases the cost OF
living. reduces the size Of families and
weakens the mental and physical
strength Of a nation. There are many
other important articles in the March
American. For example. Stewart Ed
