An Epoch Making Decision.

On this page will befound President
Wilson's decision in the matter of the
sixpower loan. The president has
reached the only conclusion that a
democratic president could reach.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
acted in good faith in asking a New
York syndicate of bankers to join
with similar syndicates in five other
countries to finance a Chinese loan
but they looked at the matter from
their standpoint, which is essentially
different from the democratic stand
point. The conditions upon which the
six power loan was to be made would
be entirly in keeping with the prin-
ciples upon which the republican par
ty has administered affairs at home,
but democratic presidenlj Commit
ed to the program which President
Wilson has outlined, looks at the en-
tire situation from different stand
point, and it is we'll that the announce
ment of the presidents position came
at the beginning of his administrator.
1t clears the air and gives our finan-
ciers at home and the borrowing ma
tions abroad notice of the change
that has taken place in the govern
ment at Washington.
| This administration will encourage
the extension of trade but it will be
an extension open to every legitimate
trader-no trade limited or restricted
to few. Other nations, too, will un-
derstand that the United States does
not propose interference with foreign
governments or the independence Of
nations when it encourages American
capital to invest abroad. China will
breathe easier as she recognizes the
friendliness Of our country and meas.
ures the force of the example which
our nation sets. President Wilson
could hcve done nothing better calcu.
lated to promote American com.
merce nothing better calculated tt
promote peace and friendship be-
tween our nation and the nations
whose resources await Development

course of the disease and for variable
periods after convslescence the germs
are thrown out of.the system in the
sputum, and in the sputum they may,
come in contact wit other people,
thus spreading the s.sease.
The symptoms oep demic cerebro-
spinal meningitis are due to two fac
tors. First, the pols9n of toxin given
off by the germs; second, the pressure
exerted on the brafrsand the cord by
the accumulation OF fluid about the
brain and cord incidental to the in
fiammation process of meningitis.
The diagnosis of cerebro- spinal
meningitis in the beginning of an epi-
demic is very difficult matter and
may require psychological exam
ination of the fluid about the cord.
This fluid is obtained by passing a
needle into the spinal canal and draw
ing off little of the fluid for exam
ination. The germs are found in this
fluid.
An antitoxin has been developed for
the treatment of cegebro-spinal-menin-
gifts. To insure thesbest results from
the use of this antitoxin it must be
used early in the course of the disease
and injected into the spinal canal. If
used later in the course of the disease
and injected under the skin as are
other antitoxins, practically no cura-
tive results are obtained.

Cerebro-Sp Meningitis.


mo. 4.
Cerebro- spinal meningitis is
disease caused by germ which grows
most abundantly on the membrane
which covers the brain and the spinal
cord. The inflammation of this mem
brane gives rise to the name, cerebro-
spinal-meningitis. The disease oc-
ours in epidemic form over consider
able areas. During these epidemics
the number Of cases varies greatly,
sometimes there are only a few, at
other times very great number. The
disease is highly fatal and, even where
recovery occurs, severe complica-
ton leaving various types OF incapac-
ity may develop.
The germ enters the system through
the nose or mouth, passes to the blood
by which it is carried to the meninges,
or covering. the brain. During the

Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER.

WASHINGTON, April 1.--One hun
dred dollars annually! This is the
amount the crime of overcapitaliza-
ton, watered stocks, costs every
American family!
This statement flows easily from the
pen, but it can be best demonstrated
by little arithmetic.
Various prominent financialstudent
and authorities are responsible for the
statement, and their conclusions are
wholly sustained by reports of the
United States Commission and the
published figures of the National Cor
poration Tax Returns, that about
$50 ,000, 100000 of the stocks of our
industrial or tariff trusts represent
only water.
On this stock, dividends of about
81, 100000, 900 are being paid yearly,
amounting to approximately SIS a
person or nearly $10O an American
family!
This 81, 100000, 900 is not picked up
out of the steets. Where, then, does
it come from? The answer is: from
the pockets of the cons umers. There
is not dollar of "water" or imitation
in the capitalization of corporations
which deal in commodities, or in the
railroad or other public service cor
porations, that does not impose bur-
dens upon the consumers and pro-
ducers of this country.
The above figures, which may be
accepted as fairly conservative in
view of the fact that United States
Senator LaFollette and various other
students of the question assert that
the amount of watered stock is more
than double the amount estimated
above, mean this: That an average
family in this country is paying tax
of $1OO year in supporting the over
capitalization of our industries. Can
there remain any doubt, then, as to
over capitalization's being one reason
"a sister reason-to high tariff, for
the ever increasing ost of living?
Watered stock is not only one Of the
prime causes for increased prices of
commodities, but it is also an impor-
tant cause of the present unsatisfac-
ory condition of labor. To pay these
dividends on watered stock; the trust
magnates must either hold down
wages abnormally low, or raise prices
artifcally high. The fact is they are
doing both.
Over-capitalization, therefore, is
obviously one of the most important
problems confronting the American
people to-day. Politicians, for some
reason, refer to it less than they
should. The subject ought to be one
of the foremost political issues.
Five hundred glaring illustrations of
the crime Of over capitalization could
be cited. They would average like
this: The Chicago & Alton was cap
italized at 10000, 100000. When
turned over to the purchasing syndi-
cate in 1899 it was capitalized at $94,-
100000.
'The people are not going to forever
permit the Perkins and the Morgans'
and Other financiers to strap upon
their backs the burdens of these
enormous over capitalizations, which
constitute one of the principal causes
of the increase in the cost of living.

The Farmer is to be commented for. it's eandor in questioning an estimate of population which it believes is more pleasing than accurate. It is quite correct in saying that the muI- tipIe of two and six-tenths per cent is Arbitrary. A similar comment could bs[made. and with equal justice, on the manner of estimating the popula- ton of other communities. of which there are directories published. The Bridgeport directory gives that city a rate of growth of 10000 a year or a irrespective population of over 200, 900 seven years hence. That is too mcuh, even for a paper like the Farmer, which taxes pride in its city and which has unbounded faith in it's future, to credit The Farmer shows, in. it's honest questioning of the estimate. that there is limit to the credIity that Is based on possibilities. The progressive city of Bridgeport does not need exaggerated estimates of it's population to show that it is growing and that it will continue to grow.
