MorHlsR1NG 11l1s TRUSTS.

For a good many years the state of
mother of trusts. the reason being that
the laws of New dorsey With relation
to the incorporation of companies and
their management after incorporation
were such as to he attractive to those
wishing to organize great corporations.
The enactment OF the laws known pop
ularly as tho "sevcn sisters which
were urged upon the New Jersey leg
islature by Governor Wilson have
changed all this. and the state is no
c~orporators. Since the enactment Of
those laws few large companies have
been chartered in that state. and some
that held New Jersey charters have
withdrawn and incorporated else
where. Delaware seems to be getting
the bulk of this business just now. all
though it is spread around a good deal,

Of large corporations organized.
The question arises: How mucl, far.

shift about from state to state. select
ing the state in which the laws give
the greatest privileges and impose the
fewest restrictions. One of the newer
southwestern states. for instance, holds
out Inducements to organizers Of cor.

that IN that state the fees are lower
and the restrictions less than in other
states, making what seems to be a
Very attractive combination.
The practice of state incorporation
tends to promote competition among
the states in offering inducements of
this kind. \ corporation is an asset

not the same incentive to careful Sill

ton with reference to corporations.
There has been a great deal said
about national Incorporation, and.
while strenuous objections have been
made to it, the fact remains that there
is a hiatus somewhere in a system
which permits a company to be o.

sort Of terms satisfactory to the To-

LOCAL AND TREATY RIGHTS.

The avowed purpose of the propos-
ed legislation in California to exclude
aliens from land ownership is to break
up colonies of japanese which have
been formed here and there in that
state, and which have acquired large
land holdings and threaten to domin-
ate a large share Of the business of
the state. We have a treaty with ia
pan. and it appears that one of the
provisions Of that treaty is that the
japanese shall be given the privilege
of land ownership in the United States.
The Japanese protest that the propos-
Cd California legislation would involve
q violation of treaty rights. The old
question arises as to the supremacy Of
state or nation in matters involving
on the one hand the relations of this
country with others, and on the other
the rights Of the people of a state to
manage their domestic affairs in their
" way.
Some years ago. when a number of
Italians were massacred in the streets
OF New Orleans, the Italian govern.
ment appealed to the United States
government for redress. There en-
sued a discussion which threw some
light on some of the complexities of
Dur federal constitution. A violation
Of the peace in the city of New Or
leans was a matter to be dealt with
by the authorities of the state of
Louisiana. and not by the federal au-
thortties. But the dealings Of the
Italian government with reference to
all matters in this country were with
the government of the United States,
and not that of Louisiana. One of our
states can have no dealings with a
foreign government. 1t appeared,
therefore, that Italy had made a
treaty with the government of this ma
ton. only Ito find that our govern
ment, by the terms Of its W consti-
tuition, was powerless to carry out its
part OF the bargain. AS the matter
is recalled now. a settlement was eff
tected by the payment of an indemnity
by the government Of Washington.
A somewhat similar situation would
exist II, should we have Il grievance
Of an act injurious to Ameri-
can citizens committed somewhere in
the German empire. on appealing to
Berlin for redress We were told that
the act was committed in the kingdom
Of Bavaria, which is "A SOVEREIGN state.

For Wilson Just as He Re-
signs as Governor.
New Jersey Legislature Turns
Down His Jury Reform Bill.
President.EIect Declares He Will
Take Stump on the Issue.

Trenton, n. j., Feb. 25.-Gov. Wood
row Wilson warned the members OF
the New Jersey Legislature, tonight
that as President of the United
States. he would feel privileged tc
come back even as early as next week
to fight before the people of the state
for pending reforms.
Mr. Wilson resigned the governorship
today, to take effect. Saturday. Both
Houses had hardly received his notice
of resignation when the Assembly
went on record by an overwhelming
vote against pushing the jury reform
ill from first to second reading. This
bill had been urged particularly by
Mr.. Wilson in his messages. 1t would
take away from the shcrffs the power
To draw juries and lodge il with a
commission appointed by the Cover
nor of the state.
MIR Wilson regards todays develop
mcnts as breach of party discipline.
He believes. moreover. that the prin-
ciple of justice IN this country is at
stake in the process of selecting juries
and he considers the issue SO vital
that he declared that soon after his
inau2ura ton he might deliver several
speeches ON this subject before the
people of northern New jersey, most
of whose assemblNmen voted in effect
against the Governor, today.
Yes it looks as if the bill were
beaten" said Mr. Wilson. tonight. but

The Governor was asked if he would

sembly proceeds his chief opposition.

The Governors declarations caused
a furry of excitement hl political
circles. Sheriffs from many of the

against the bill and political lines in
the fight are drawn in every direction.

last working day. Saturday, he will

WONDERFUL SHOWERS
SPIDERS.
o
One Seen by Darwin at Sea-Atmos-
pheric Conditions.

Gilbert White gives an account of
spider shower that continued for near
ly whole day. Darwin saw one at
sea. Each spider was supported, it
appears, by a tiny parachute composed
Of few threads of almost invisible
gossamer.
Spider showers have from time to
time been made the subject OF scientif-
ic reports in this country. one of them
gives this description of the phenomen-
on:
On the morning of this shower there
had been some electrical disturbance.
There had been one loud peal of thun-
der nut no rain. At 10 o'clock there
was observed a number Of spiders that
ran over the coat sleeves of the OBJ
server. He brushed off several trails
OF gosSamer web.
Upon looking about he discovered
that the houses, walls and trees show
ed these webs dangling from them;
and that other gossamer webs were
continually falling from above and
adding to the accumulation.
By midday a fence the festooned
from point to point OF it's triangular
rail tops with q ribbon-like ladder OF
gossamer. and this continued to become
broader and broader as the tiny erea
lures continued to run along this lad
der, each spider increasing the breadth
by adding its own contribution of an
other silken thread.
All along this ladder the spiders
We're running in an excited and hur-
ried manner, as il they had lost theii
way in strange country. Some, in
proceeding over their improvised roao
made mistakes and got into the border,
ing webs of the garden spiders, by
which they We're speedily devoured.
At O'Clock the clouds vanished, the
sun came out and the observer noticed
that some of the spiders had begun tc
ascend into the atmosphere. Fixing
his gaze upon one of them he observed
that as it left the gossamer pathway
it selected q clean spot on an iror
railing and. gathering its legs closely
together, projected its spinnerts. sew
raj threads that extended outward ant
strtclied upward from 3 to II inches
| Then this parachute seemed to show
| a buoyant tendency, and suddenly ths
tiny creature let go of the iron rail
or was lifted off it, and quickly van
ished into the air.-From the New 4orI
