THE TWILIGHT ZONE.


Besides propositions to strengthen
the Sherman law, group of proposals
seek to solve the trust problem through
the control Of the state corporations.
These aim to do away with the triplet
of corporate abuses stock watering,
interlocking directors and holding COM
panies.
In seeking to deal with these great
corporate evils, we find ourselves in
the twilight zone between state and ma
tional powers The states have the
sole right to create corporations. Con-
gress relies wholly on the Commerce
Clause of the constitution, already
stretched to the breaking point. The
Knight Case, holding that the forma-
ton of the Sugar Trust was not indi-
rectly an interference with interstate
commerce, always stares us in the face.
The engine that is to strike down
these giant evils cannot work on miry
foundation. To prevent these evils we
must clear up the question of constitu-
tional power. There is no reason why
the federal government should take
away the right Of the states to deal
with their corporate creatures, except
as to evils with which they cannot cope.
There should be clear and positive pow
err lodged in congress to prevent such
evils.
To give congress such powers. and
yet not to interfere with the great body
of the corporations doing business in
the states, | have proposed an amend
ment to the constitution, by which con-
gress is expressly given the power TO
define, prevent and suppress monopol-
les, combinations and agreements in re-
straint Of trade.
Some would erect the engine Of fed
eral incorporation, or of federal regis
tration and license, to deal with the
evils Of monopoly
The first Of these proposals is almost
certain to be lost in the mire of uncon-
stitutionalty, and the last two are un-
necessary If congress has the power
to restrict these evils by refusing to
registcr or license, it has, also, the
power to prescribe these restrictions in
a general law.
Can congress, under the Commerce
Clause, reach stock watering? We
cannot say until the Supreme Court has
spoken. Yet we cannot tolerate the
tremendous burden which has been
placed upon the present and unborn
generations by the billions Of dollars of
stock issued without thing in the
world back of them except the mono
poly privilege of taxing the American
people.
And. conceding that the courts will
hold that congress may prohibit holding
companies, and its kindred evil Of in
terlocking directors, what good will be
ACCOMPLISHED? When the Supreme
Court declared tins holding company
form of trust unlawful. the Standard
Oil Company, with joint stock owner
ship as before, simply became a TWEEN
ty-eight headed octupus AS long as
the courts sanction the common owner
ship of stocks, prohibiting holding conf
panies and interlocking directors viii do
little good. The owners of the stock
will control all the twenty-eight heads
Of the octupus and viii only be put to
the trouble Of selecting dummy directors.
1t will not help matters to suppress
the evil in one form and leave open
other ways Of doing the same thing.
Congress must have power to deal with

HEALTH AND HYGIENE
Issued by the Idaho State Board of
Health.

When it comes to cancer of the
breast men have greater advantage
than women have in cancer of the
lip Cancer of the breast is one hum
dred times as frequent in women as in
men
The figures furnished by the old
time surgeons showed that three
fourths of the tumors of the breast
were cancers, that is to say, figuring
solely on mathematical basis, the
chance that a given tumor would be
a cancer was three to one. | am sure
that this estimate was far too high,
and that the chance is at least two to
one the other way.
The figures for the cases operated
on were correctly given by the sur
geons, but the nonmalignant tumors
are not operated on. The cases not
operated on did not enter into their
calculations. To start in, then, when
a woman finds a hard nodule in her
breast and she has made certain that
it does not belong there, the chance
is at least two to one that it is not
cancer.
Being at the cancer age will not
make much difference, since the can
Ger age is also the fibroma age 1t is
not, however, the retention cyst age.
A point by which she has learned
that she can be guided is retraction
of the nipple. This is pretty good
sign when it is present, but from the
practical standpoint it does not help
much. Rertaction of the nipple does
not occur until the disease has run
on some time. Operation should al
ways be done before a cancer adj
vances far enough to retract the nip
pie.
Pain is a SYMPTOM that is empha-
ssised. When violent pain is present
1.-THE hard nodule is almost certainly
cancer, but many cases of cancer
are not accompanied by pain.
Enlargement Of the glands under the
arm is sure sign, and yet of no
practical value. diagnosis that is
not made until the glands enlarge
might as well not be made at ALL
A hard tumor appearing in the
breast at the cancer age should be
watched for a month or two. At the
end of this time, if it is found to
be growing, it should be cut out and
the mass examined microscopically
If the microscope shows the growth
not to be a cancer, let the woman hold
ueiSSll luChy anu ~ Oll HeI way re-
joicing. If it shows the growth to be
cancer, let the wound be reopened
and everything removed that is I'M
der suspicion, whether by reason Of
its appearance or by reason of what
experience teaches as to the paths oil
spreading and the zones of danger
DR.. Evans.
One sign of cancer of the breast
is that the tumor is fixed and car
not be moved around This is pref.
ty sure sign, but not of practical
value. When the tumor has been
fixed to the chest wall so that it car
not be pushed about, operation time
has passed Another sign is immova.
biIity of the skin, but this sign also
lis of little value. a benign fibroid at
tached to the skin gives the same sign

CuriOSitieS In
Writing Paper

Police Officer Gault was showing
letter a few days ago, written from
Honolulu by Mr.. Blue, formerly of
Ashland, to group of men on the
street. The paper was of Japanese
manufacture and was in the form Of
sheet about the width of an ordi-
nary letterhead, but several feet in
length. Along one side was col
ored design in classic Japanese art.
While the party was looking, at
the paper d. Perozzi came along and
remarked that he could match 1t
and go 1t one better. He drew from
his pocket a letter recently received
from a brother in Switzerland. The
letter he said was written on d sheet
taken from a parish register ESQ
years old. The paper was of a rough
finish similar to the modern "an-
!, tique" paper and showed It's age
plainly in the discolored edges II
also plainly showed where it had
been torn from the register.

Three Are Called
BY Death Angel

Mrs. s. M. Wise died at about
eleven o'clock last Saturday night
following a very serious surgical op-
Grafton which was performed several
days previously Deceased was the
wife of s. M. Wise, well known in
Ashland through his connection with
the Depot Drug Store and the Star
Theatre. Deceased was born at
Badger, Iowa, December sixteenth,
1880, and was the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Odland, now of
Minot, North Dakota. Besides her
parents she leaves two brothers and
five sisters, widely scattered over
the western states. Owing to the
suddenness of her death none OF
them arrived before the sad event
occurred. One brother is banker
in North Dakota and the others are
living on ranches in various parts OF
the west. Deceased was formerly a
school teacher and about ten years
ago was elected county superinten-
dent of schools in Palo Alto county,
Iowa, after a strenuous campaign.
Funeral services were held Monday
at two from Dodge's undertaking par
lors-Rev. Schwimley officiating.
Burial took place in Mountain View
cemetery. Mr.. Wise and the three
little motherless girls, aged six and
four and one years respectively, have
the sympathy OF the community in
their sad bereavement.
