SOUTH
AMERICA
More Dope on Our Sister ESQ.,
CaIled) Continent - Who
Live There and Why.

THERE are some very large
rivers'in South America.
The reason that they are
large Is because . lot of water
flows in them. The more water
you have in . river the bigger
tho river. The more water you
have in a bathtub the bigger the
piece that falls out of the ceiling
below.
The rivers are much freQuented
by alligators and fish. Fish In
South America are passionately
fond of water and spend all their
time In 1t, regardless of whether
or not they get rheumatism.
This habit makes 1t necessary for
South Americans who want to
catch fish to 60 to a lake or
stream.
The wild animals In South
America are very wild. In fact,
there are none wilder. The wild
ones live in the wild and the
wilder ones live In a wilderness.
Among the widest Of these
animiles Is the jaguar. This 10
a ferocious brute, which lives on
porcupine quilts. When the
quilts pierce its mouth 1t smits
demoniacal yells, which give Il
the earache and consequently
render 1t wilder than ever. Fed
exclusively on mush and milk,
the jaguar would be az mild as
scrapple.
There are other animals in
South America, such as the tapir,
the bell bird. the alarm clock fish,

proposed that a director shall be al
lowed a vote in only one corporation,
however many boards he may serve
upon.
Perhaps the most important recon-
mendation the President will make
may have to do with consultations. An
idea there is to put the power into the
hands of any citizen to sue out a writ
of injunction. At present only the
attorney general can do it, acting in
the rame of the government. This
would give minority stockholders a
special grip, as we'll as outsiders. With
such a law, it is argued, the steel
trusts acquisition of the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company some years ago
would have been made very difficult.
counter movement among Demo-
Gratis in congress is also to be noted.
Not a few of them would like to ap-
ply the soft pedal. The old time aver
sion to too much legislation is show
ing itself. Perhaps business is entitled
to be let alone for while. 1t has
been cuffed around pretty hard during
the last twelve months. Tariff and
currency have halted enterprise. There
Is such a thing as giving patient too
much medicine. The Democratic adj
ministration has been rigorous. More
cautious men think it has been rigor-
Gus sufficiently long to rest a little.
Democrats Uneasy.
Democrats are finding many things
to plague them at the present juno
ture. At no time before, since get
ting control of the government, last
March,, have they been quite so I'M
easy. Fear of too much trust bust
ing has inspired many fervent hopes
for a lenient policy in the department
of justice. Can not the attorney gen.
eral permit huge corporations to re-
organize on voluntary terms and avoid
long court proceedings? The great
New Haven railroad system is sup
posed to be under way with such an
enterprise. Department lawyers have
been after it vigorously. Attorney
General McReynolds after many con-
ferences has shown some compassion.
In many respects it is best, if the
possum will come out of the tree with
out any shooting.
Antitrust suits galore are pending
in the department. In many cases
these are brought to compel reorgan-
ization or dissolution. The law in
such matters has now been thorough
ly defined. The courts have passed
upon it repeatedly. Good lawyers can
determine in a given instance about
what is to happen. This often makes
easy an arrangement for adjustment
with the department of justice. The
department intends to bring only good
cases where it can expect conviction.

ing law, see advantages in bringing
themselves into compliance speedily.
They must yield ultimately. There
are not always additional dollars in
delaying.
Indeed the general conscience about
higher standards of business is keener
and more responsive. This is by no
means a Democratic administration
product. Two, if not three, Republic
can administrations which preceded 1t
are largely responsible. In this regard
President Wilson is reaping some ben
efits. There will not likely be another
antitrust suit as fiercely contested as
that against the Standard Oil Com
pany, although there may be disso-
luton verdicts that are more effective
Former antitrust verdicts frequently
upset business materially. They dis
arranged trade conditions. Nowadays
big violators of law have anticipated
action. They and their trade clients,
as a matter of shrewd business, have
been making ready for the inevitable.
So ii is that President Wilson and
Attorney General McReynolds have
an enviable advantage in carrying an
THRUST work forward. The opportun-
ity for them to pursue beneficent
course is excellent. They can permit
the defendant to go under bonds to
keep the peace, rather than impose
sentence of confinement. The next
few months will demonstrate whether
they will improve this opportunity.
They can help the business of the
country UNNECESSARILY, it is contend
ed, by easing off with offenders who
are willing to obey statutory require
ments hereafter. They can also help
by not crowding too hard with legis-
lation which might prove unduly OPP
pressive to business.
