WHERE sToeIzHoIpERs PARTICIPATE

N A SHARE HOLDER in English company "A is a share holder and not merely d dummy, as an American owner of corporate stock more frequently is than not. There was a meeting of the shareholders of Lipton's Linn tied, the other day, and lively interchange of opinion. The directors were severely criticis- ed for involving the company in scandal with the British government, over the award of ar my contracts for tea One stockholder sug gested that it would be better if Sir Thomas Lipton cut out yacht racing, and devoted his time to the affairs of the company. Other stockholders resented the infliction of a charge of $25.OOo upon the company, as cost of litga- ton in the contracts scandal, and thought the directors should meet that expense Altogeth- CT the meeting was interesting and illustrative of the different methods abroad In Connec- ticut there was a railroad stockho1der who used to make himself disagreeab1e in meetings of his company, until finally rule was passed cut ting off debate, and that slenced him.

BRAINS IN BASEBALL

D EOPLE WHO never see ball game always IL imagine the bleaeher crowd as an as semblage of sports. They would expect to find there incessant cigarette smokers and fellows with 'highwater pants,' older men who came to bet with sprinkling of f1ashily dressed women.
 The crowds at the ball parks of the bigger leagues include many of these types. Also there are great numbers of clean cut, modestly dress ed business and professional men, whose pres ence is a credit to any gathering.
 There is something in t-that appeals to all interested by human achievement. It has it's own spectacular power. A hard batted ball, speeding runner, an agile stop, a swift accurate throw a sure catch, these are beautiful forms of human skill.
 Equally also it is battle of organization and mastery of personal force. It is not enough to assemble a group of men who can bat, throw, and catch a ball with great speed, strength and accuracy.
 It is also prearranging the movements of these, men so that they fit into each other like the levers of a machine. It is question of so winning their loyalty that they will not play simply for salary and their own averages.
 man who is quick witted- enough to play baseball is apt also tq be quick to take offense, imaginative, sensitive, morbid. The balance be- tween competing players needs to be held with absolute fairness, based on competent judg- ment of their play.
 The manager of & professional ball team has the problem of maintaining balance of justice between the personal interest of his players, so that if any man gets grouch, it shall be of his own creation. Then there is that indefinable power of creating enthusiasm, which radiates from some men, while others leave their asso- ciates wholly cold. When one sees a group of players having all these qualities of skill, led with all this enthusiasm and systematic work and quick wit, he sees a product into which there has entered plentiful supply of brains.

LIMITING CAMpAING EXPENDITURES.

rT~HE LOWER HOUSE of Congress passed al
 1 bill few days ago, to limit campaign expenditures in any state to amounts contribut-# ed by actual residents of the state Money for literature and speakers is expected. Atcareful distinction needs to be drawn between legiti-| mate and illegitimate spending. Pay and trans portation of speakers hire of halls postage sec retarial work, printing and advertising, are 1e- gitimate. Anything that tends to bring the real argum ents of the campaign before the voters in a logical way is helpful to public intelligence. Every conRre ssional district has group of men who claim to hold political influence. They are mixers" some times saloonkeepers often people who frequent the loafing hang-outs of the neighborhood, or whose business brings them into contact with wide range of people. They are mouthy fellows, who do little else than prate politics. They claim to sway the convictions of large groups of their fellow citizens. It is commonly understood, that if man cherishes the honorable ambition to run for office, it is good Judgment to 'see''I these men who have 'sinflooence'' at their dispo- sal.
 Of course this is not bribery. The time of these workers is so valuable that it must be liberally compensated, to justify them in drop ping the onerous duties of their regular em- ployne ents But there is a growing suspicion that this influence, more or less for sale is not so great as the possessors thereof maintain. It is highly probable, were all political machines and candidates to decline to compensate these workers, that there would be no difference in the result at the polls. Certainly if Congress and the state legislatures could pass corrupt practice bills cutting off this great source of ex Ependitutre it would meet with the warm appro- val of every one

 Capt. Amundsen has spent the last few months studying aeroplane flying in Christiana, and expects to use this method of travelling in his dash for the northern pole. The explorer qualified last month for a pilots cer- tificate. and is now a fu11-fIedged bird-man. In 1907, and again in 1909, Walter We1lman, the American newspaper writer and explorer, plan ned to make dash to the pole in an airship. but the project came to noth- ing. Amundsen believes that the aerop1anA is much better suited than an airship for a polar dash. and is confident of success.

CAPT. AMUNDSEN, 42 TODAY, PLANS FLIGHT
 TO THE NORTH POLE

The world has two poIes-meani not flag, barber or Poland poles, but those points in which the axis of the earth is supposed to meet the sphere
 of the heavens Most people are ready to accept the testimony of geog- raphers and astronomers on this point, and go about their business. But not Capt. Ronald Amundsen. No, sir! He knows there is a south pole,
 because he has been there and has to the existence of the north pole, however, Capt. Amundsen refuses to accept the statements of either the
 persistent Peary. or the most ce1ebrat- ed of the elan of Cook He is going to take a run up and see for himself, and if everything is not as represented, and the pole is not strictly on the lev
 el, there will be an exposure, copy lighted with all rights reserved.
 Ronald Amundsen was born forty two years ago to-day, July Is, 1872, not, as one might expect, in zMissou- ri, but in Sarpsburg, Norway. His youth was spent in Christians, where
 he studied medicine for a year. His ambition to become a medical man [ was th7varted by the death of his
 father, sea captain, and, forced to
 earn a living, he followed the natur-
 al bent of a Norwegian and took to
 the sea For years he cruised about
 northern waters in Norwegian whal-
 CTS and sealers.
 Amundsen began his career as an
 explorer in 1897, when he joined Ger 1ach's Belgian south polar expedition
 as first officer of the He1gica. This trip lasted two years and it gave to the young Norwegian sai1or a passion
 for polar exploration which has grown with the passing years. To fit Himself for the work, he spent two years in Hamburg, studying under Neumayer, the expert on magnetism. The Northwest Passage. the goal of a multitude of explorers since Co., scene of the young Norwegian's tri- umph. With his own savings and l the assistance of his friend, Nansen, l the Norwegian polar explorer, he
 raised 3O,000, and equipped the tiny
 whaling sloop Gjoa, of forty-seven 1 tons, for the attempted conquest of l the dream of centuries. He sailed
 in the Summer of 1903 around the north end of America, and in Sep
 tember reached. the mouth of the
 Mackenzie River, named after the | great Scotch Canadian explorer by | whom the northern stream was dis covered and first navigated, and who was the first white man to cross the
 Rocky Mountains and reach the Pa cif1c. From the Mackenzie, Amund-.
 sen proceeded through Baf1n's Bay,
 Lancaster Sound, Barrow Strait, Peel l Strait and thence through Behring | Strait and Sea into the gelid waters of the North Pacific, the first man to 1 accomplish such a feat. Twice the | Gjoa wintered in the ice, and for 1 m onths Amundsen mai aintained an ob- servation station on King Williams 1 land, taking daily observations with 1 in ninety miles of the nagn netic pole. | In 1909 the intrepid Norwegian set l out again, this time with the South

THE DANGER OF STOCK WATERING.

CUPT RUFUS M. POTTS, head of the insur o ance department of Illinois, has directed the attention of the Federal authorities to the circumstance that 43 companies doing fire in surance business in Illinois hold almost $7,OOO,- GOO of the depreciated securities of the New Haven Company Tn this he indirectly calls att tention to one of the dangers attendant upon wholesale stock watering.
 The men who control the great insurance companies and to a large extent some of the who are foremost in promoting dilution of cor porate securities.
 By their positions of authority these men are enabled to take the savings of the people in payment for their worthless or nearly worthless paper, and thus transpose real values to their own pockets giving sham values in trade.
 Such "a system many years more continued must result in financial disaster which would exceed anything of that kind yet known to the world.
