(2) The provisions of the Charter, ex-
cept that of emineat domain which
has now been omitted are such as
would permit incorporation of the
Company in one Of the States of
the Union.

cisI act of Council in this case for
the reason pointed out above.
(4) believe that aside from the pro-
vision for eminent domain, which
is now omitted. most of the suspi-
cion and discussion has arisen
from misapprehension as to the
purpose of charter.
Neither an individual nor partnership
requires charter from the State for en-
gagingin business. An indivldulI may
engage in any business he CHOOSES so
long as he meets the requirements of
state and local laws. He may buy and
sell property, give mortgages, engage
in agriculture, manufacture, transporta-
ton, banking, or any other business in
any manner whatsoever, all On en-
dlkion that he does 50 within the state
and local laws.
The same rights are enjoyed by part
nershp.
These unlimited rights are not enjoy
ed by a corporation. The business of a
corporation is limited by a charter in
which is stated i corporate rights.
Such charter is an authorization to the
officers of the Corporation elected by the
stockholders to engage only in such BUSH
ness as is set forth in the charter. Thus
a charter for bank differs from the
charter for transportation company.
For corporation engaging in general
business. il is customary to state In de-
tail all the various kinds of business 'of
whatever nature" might under some cir
cumstanees come within the SCOPE of the
corporation. Even then the powers of
corporation are limited. as compared with
those of an individual. Indeed. it is COM

a partnership are Unlimited by charter.
while the rights of a corporation are
limite1 by its charter.
Any individual or partnership in st.
Crolx may engage In any or all Of the
businesses set forth in the proposed
charter for the Virgin Islands Company,
and in ANYTHING which be wishes, includ-
ing such as banking business. enter
tainment business. and scores of others.
81 Another misunderstanding re-
garding the proposed charter
seems tobe that the rights author
lied by the stockholders to their
officers through the medium of
the charter, are rights of the Mu-
nicipalty which the corporation is
thus authorized to exercise
1t should be clearly kept ia mind that
in granting charter to a corporation,
the Municipality has never surrendered,
nor can iI surrender its own powers.
Any Corporation to which charter is
issued must carry on its business accord
ing to the laws of the Municipality. Like
wise, the corporation to which St. CrOix
may issue enarter, mutt operate under
60G laws Oh Sucn state OLn6r IMAM st.
Croix in which it may do busin ess. as in
New York for example. where it is like
ly that the Virgin. lslands Company
would have a branch office
e. 1t is to be noted that Sac. 4 pro-
vides;
mo dividends or profits of any type
or description whatever shall ever be is
sued, paid, or made available to any of
the holders os the said srock or to anyone
on their behalf. but all of the earnings,
income and profits which may be deriv-
ed by the corporation from tie opera
tons of any of its powers hereunder,
shall be expended in effecting the econo-
mic rehabilitation of tie Virgin Islands
of the United States in promoting the
general welfare of the Inhabitants of the
Virgin Islands of the United States"
Thus it will be seen that through the
Virgin Islands Company the people of
the Islands are to have all the benefit.of
activities of the s2siness in which the
Company engages,
No act of the Trustees can change this
provision of the charter without the con-
sent of the Municipality of st. CrOix. 4

All in al, the evidence Is pretty
strong to show that repeal has intro
duced an ominous new factor into
the traffic problem.
What needs to be done in the face
Of this new factor Is not at all clear.
That there is hardly city in Amer

men goes almost without saying.
That the police and the courts need

Is equally clear.

MORE GOOD NEWS FOR GRANNY

MORE GOOD NEWS fOk GkAMKY
Charlatans are strong for crediting
Nature Ohey always spell it with q
capital NJ with preventing and curing
things. My own idea is that nature IS
cruel and teacherous and should never
be trusted. Nature does hideous
things to innocent victims unless the
vicious harridan is restrained and
guided and controlled by the intel
ligence and skill Of good doctor.
Nature Is particularly wicked In her
treatment of the mothers Of the race.

raised large families Of children?
Death from cancer Of the womb.

where women suffer much from hot

We gave some space here last year
to the improved method Of treating
prostate obstruction In elderly men:
that is, the method Of removing the
obstructing portion Of the enlarged
gland by diathermy (electro-surgery)
through the natural channel. This Is
called trans-urethal prostatectomy. It
is not suitable In all cases but II Of

Dr.. H. L. Kretschmer, reports that
since March, 1882. he has done no
external prostatectomies but has
treated all cases by the transurethral
method.
Like all new departures in medicine
and surgery this method has been
frowned upon and secuted by the old
established docs who have gained
their reputation by the old methods.
