Hampers Business.
.entlemen of tlie Congress:
In my report on “the state of the
Union," which I had the privilege of
reading to you on the 1st of December
last, 1 ventured to reserve for discus
sion at a later date the subject of addi
tional legislation regarding the very
difficult and intricate matter of trusts
and monopoljes. The time now seems
opportune to turn to that great ques
tion; not only because the currency
legislation, which absorbed your atten
tion and the attention of the country in
December, is now disposed of, but also
because opinion seems to be clearing
about us with singular rapidity in this
other groat field of action. In the
matter of the currency it cleared sud
denly and very happily after the much-
debated Act was passed; in respect of
the monopolies which have multiplied
about ns and in regard to the various
means by which they have been or
ganized and maintained it seems to be
coming to a clear and all but universal
agreement in anticipation of our ac
tion, as if by way of preparation, mak
ing the way easier to see and easier
to set out upon with confidence and
without confusion of counsel.
Legislation has its atmosphere like
'everything else, and the atmosphere
of accommodation and mutual under
standing which we now breathe with
so much refreshment is matter of sin
cere congratulation.
It ought to make our task very much
'less difficult and embarrassing than
it would have been had we been obliged
to continue to act amidst the atmos
phere of suspicion and antagonism
which has so long made it impossible
to approach such questions with dis
passionate fairness. Constructive leg
islation, when successful is always the
embodiment of convincing experience,
and of the mature public opinion which
finally springs out of that experience.
Legislation is a business of interpreta
tion, not of origination; and it is now
plain what the opinion is to which we
must give effect in this matter. It is
not recent or hasty opinion. It springs
i out of the experience of a whole gen
eration. It has clarified itself by long
I contest, and those who for a long time
battled with it and sought to change
1 It are now frankly and honorably
yielding to it and seeking to conform
itheir actions to it.
The great business men who organ
ized and financed monopoly and those
who administered it in actual every
day transactions have year after year,
until now, either denied its existence
or justified it as necessary for the ef
fective maintenance and development
of the vast business processes of the
I country in the modern circumstances
of trade and manufacture and finance;
but all the while opinion has made
head against them. The average busi
ness man is convinced that the ways
of liberty are also the ways of peace
and the ways of success as well; and
at last the masters of business on
the great scale have begun to yield
their preference and purpose, perhaps
their judgment also, in honorable sur
render.
What we are purposing to do, there
fore, is happily, not to hamper or in
terfere with business as enlightened
business men prefer to do it, or in any
sentfe to put it under the ban. The
r .tagonism between business and gov
ernment is over. We are now about
to give expression to the best business
judgment of America, to what we know
to be the business conscience and
honor of the land. 'Hie Government
and business men are ready to meet
each other half way in a common ef
fort to square business methods with
both public opinion and the law. The
best informed men of the business
world condemn the methods and pro
cesses and consequences of monopoly
as we condemn them; and the instinc
tive judgment of the vast majority of
business men everywhere goes with
them. We shall now be their spokes
men. That is the strength of our posi
tion and the sure, prophecy of what
will ensue when our reasonable work
is done.
When serious contest ends, when
men unite in opinion and purpose,
those who are to change their ways
of business joining with those whd
ask for the change, it is possible to ef
fect it in the way in which prudent
and thoughtful and patriotic men
would wish to see it brought about,
with as few, as slight, as easy and
simple business readjustments as pos
sible in the circumstances, nothing
essential disturbed, nothing torn up
by the roots, no parts rent nsunder
which can fie left in wholesome combi
nation. Fortunately, no measures of
sweeping or ndvel change are neces
sary. It will be understood that our
object is not to unsettle business or
anywhere seriously to break its estab
lished courses athwart. On the con
trary, we desire the laws we are now
about to pass to be the bulwarks und
safeguards of industry against the
forces that have disturbed it. What
we have to do can be done in a new
spirit, in thoughtful moderation, with- 1
out revolution of any untoward kind, i
We are all agreed that "private ;
monopoly is indefensible and intoler- j
able,” and our programme is founded
upon that conviction. It will be a com- :
prehensive but not a ra-iical or unac
ceptable programme and these are its
itemB, the changes which opinion de
liberately sanctions and for which
business waits:
It waits with acquiescence, In the
first place, for laws which tfill effec
tually prohibit and prevent such inter
lockings of the personnel of the direc
torates of great corporations—banks
and railroads, industrial, commercial,
and public service bodieB—as in effect
result in making those who borrow
and those who lend practically one and
the same, those who sell and those
who buy but the same person trading
with one another under different
names and in different combinations,
and those who affect to compete in
fact partners and masters of some
whole field of business. Sufficient
time should be allowed, of course, in
which to effect these changes of organ
ization without inconvenience or con
fusion.
Such a prohlbtion will work much
more than a mere negative good by
j correcting the serious evils which have
arisen because, for example, the me.i
who have been the directing spirits of
the great investment banks have
. usurped the place which belongs to
j independent industrial management
I working in its own behoof. It will
; bring new men, new energies, a new
spirit of initiative, new blood, into the
management of our great business en
terprises. It will open the field of in
dustrial development and origination
to scores of men who have been
obliged to serve when their abilities
entitled them to direct. It will im
mensely hearten the young men com
ing on and will greatly enrich the busi
ness activities of the whole country.
In the second place, business men
as well as those who direct public af
fairs now recognize, and recognize
with painful clearness, the great harm
and injustice which has been done to
many, if not all, of the great railroad
systems of the count! y by the way
in which they have been financed and
their own distinctive interests subor
dinated to the interests of the men
who financed them and of other bus
iness enterprises which those men
wished to promote. The country is
ready, therefore, to accept, and accept
with relief as well ns approval, a
law which will confer upon the Inter
state Commerce Commission the pow
er to superintend and regulate the
financial operations by which the rail
roads are henceforth to be supplied
with the money they need for their
proper development to meet the rap
idly growing requirements of the
country for increased and improved
facilities of transportation. Wo can
not postpone action In this matter
without leaving the railroads expos
ed to many serious handicaps and
hazards; and the prosperity of the
railroads and the prosperity of the
! country are inseparably connected.
Upon this question those who are
chiefly responsible for the actual
management and operation of the
railroads have spok°n very plainly
and very earnestly, with k purpose
we ought to be quick tc accept. It
will be one step, and a very important
one, toward the necessary separation
! of the business of production from
the business of transportation.
The business of the country awaits
also, has long awaited and has suf
fered because it could not obtain,
further and more explicit legislative
definition of the policy and meaning
of the existing antitrust law. Noth
ing hampers tiusiness like uncertain
ty. Nothing daunts or discourages it
! like the necessity to take chances, to
J run the risk of falling under the con-
i demnation of the law before it can
make sure just what the law is.
Surely we are sufficiently familiar
j with the actual processes and meth
ods of monopoly and of the muny
! hurtful restraints of trade to make
’ definition possible, at any rate up to
the limits of what experience has
1 disclosed. These practices, being now
abundantly disclosed, can be explic-
j itly and item by item forbidden by
statute in such terms as will practi-
: cally eliminate uncertainty, the law
I Itself and the penalty being made
equally plain.
And the business men of the coun
try desire something more than that
the menace of legal process in these
matters be made explicit and intel
ligible. They desire the advice, the
definite guidance and information
which can be supplied by an admin
istrative body, an interstate trade
commission.
The opinion of the country would
Instantly approve of such a commis
sion. It would not wish to see it
empowered to make terms with mon
opoly or in any sort to assume con
trol of business, as If the Government
j made itself responsiuie. It demands
: such a commission only as an Indis
pensable instrument, of information
and publicity, as a clearing house for
the facts by which both the public
mind and the managers of great bus
iness undertakings should be guided,
and as an instrumentality for doing
justice to business where the pro
cesses of the courts or the natural
forces of correction outside the courts
are inadequate to adjust the remedy
to the wrong in a way that will meet
all the equities nnd circumstances of
the case.
Producing industries, for example,
which have passed the point up to
which combination may he consistent
with the public interest and the free
dom of trade, can not always be dis
sected Into their component units as
readily as railroad companies or sim
ilar organizations can be. Their dis
solution by ordinary legal process
may oftentimes involve financial con
sequences likely to overwhelm the
security market and bring upon it
breakdown and confusion. There
ought to be an administrative com
mission capable of directing and
shaping such corrective processes,
not only in aid of the courts but also
by independent suggestion, if neces
sary.
Inasmuch as our object and' the
spirit of our action in these matters
is to meet business half way in its
processes of self-correction and dis
turb its legitimate course as little as
possible, we ought to see to it, and
the judgment of practical and saga
cious men of affairs everywhere
would applaud us if we did see to it,
that penalties and punishments should
fall, not upon business itself, to its
confusion and interruption, but upon
the individuals who use the instru
mentalities of business to do things
wli'ch public policy and sound busi
ness practice condemn. Every act of
business is done at the command or
upon the Initiative of some ascertain
able person or group of persons.
These should be held Individually re
sponsible and the punishment should
fall upon them, not upon the business
organization of which they make il
legal use.. It should be one of the
main objects of our legislation to di
vest such persons of their corporate
cloak and deal with them as with
those who do not represent their cor
porations, but merely bv deliberate
intention break the law. Business
\ men the country through would, 1 am
sure, applaud us if we were to take
effectual steps to see that the offi
i cers and directors of groat business
bodies were prevented from bringing
them nnd the business of the country
into disrepute and danger.
Other questions remain which will
need very thoughtful and practical
treatment. Enterprises, in these
modern days of great individual for
tunes, are oftentimes interlocked, not
by being under the control of the
same directors, bul by the fact that
the greater part of their corporate
stock is owned by a single person or
group of persons who are in some
way intimately related In interest.
We are agreed, I take it that holding
companies should be prohibited, but
what of the controlling private own
ership of individuals or actually co
operative groups of individuals? Shall
the private owners of capital stock be
; suffered to be tbemselvps in effect
holding companies? We do not wish,
I suppose, to forbid the purchase of
stocks by any person who pleases to
buy them in such quantities as he
can afford, or in any way arbitrarily
to limit the sale of stocks to bona
fide purchasers. Shall we require the
owners of stock, when their voting
power in several companies which
ought, to be Independent of one* an
other would constitute actual control,
to make election in which of them
they will exercise their right to vote?
This question 1 venture lor your con-
1 sideration.
There is another matter in which
imperative considerations of justice
and fair play suggest thoughtful
remedial action. Not only do many
of the combinations effected or sought
to be effected in the industrial world
work an injustice upon the public in
general; they also directly and ser
iously injure the individuals who are
pul out ot business in one unfair
way or another by tne many dislodg
ing and exterminating foices of com
bination. I hope that we shall agree
in giving private individuals who
claim to have been injured by these
processes the right to found their
suits for redress upon tiie facts and
judgmehts proved and entered ‘n suits
by the Government whole the Gov
ernment has upon its own Initiative
sued the combinations complained of
and won its suit, and that the statute
of limitations shall be suffered to
run against such litigant! only from
the date of ■ the conclusion of the
Government action. It is not fair
that the private litigant should be
obliged to set up and establish again
the facts which the Government has
proved. He can not afford, he has
not the power, to make use of such
processes of inquiry as the Govern
ment has command of. Thus shall
individual justice be done while the
processes of business are rectified
and squared with the general con
science.
I have laid the case before you. no
doubt as it lies in your own mind, as
it lies in the thought of the country.
What must every candid man say of
the suggestions I have laid before
you, of the plain obligations of which
I have reminded you? That these
are new things for whir-1 the coun
try is not prepared? No; but that
they are old things, now familiar, r»d
must of course be undertaken if vve
are to square our lnws with the
thought and desire of the country.
Until these things are done, conscien
tious business men the country over
will be unsatisfied. They ate in these
things our mentors and colleagues.
We are now about to w.ite the addi
tional articles of our constitution of
peace, the peace that is honor and
freedom and prosperity.

COLD WEATHER DISHES
ABUNDANT NUTRIMENT FOR THE
BODY IN WINTER.
Appetizing Method of Preparing and
Serving Veal Cutlet*—Corn Bread
at Ita Be*t—Recipe for Vir
ginia Smothered Chicken.
By 1.1 DA AMES WILLIS.
Veal Cutlets a la Maintenon.—Pro
cure two poundB of veal culets, having
them cut three-fourths of an Inch
thick. Trim neatly, then dip each
one first in beaten egg, and thon in
pounded cracker crumbs, seasoned
with salt, pepper and a bit of mar
joram. Wrap each cutlet In half a
sheet of buttered letter-paper or heavy
paraffin paper, well buttered; lay on
a greased broiler, and broil over, or
exposed to, a clear tire, not hot
enough to scorch, however. Turn oft
en. When they are done, have fresh
papers ready to put the cutlets in if
those enveloping the cutlets become
discolored. The edges of the papers
should be fringed and twisted to se
cure the juices of the chops. Veal
cooked in this manner is delicious, as
all the juices and flavor are retained.
Baked Squash.—Cut in pieces as for
serving, remove the seeds and stringy
portion, brush with molasses, season
with salt and pepper, and bake until
soft. Add butter and serve from the
shell.
Trifle.—Get half a dozen little
sponge-cakes (lady fingers or slices of
stale sponge-cake may be used). Also
a dozen fresh macaroons. Make a
thick custard with three eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of com starch mixed
with a third of a cupful of sugar, and
two-thirds of a pint of milk. Scald
the milk, turn it over the eggs and
sugar and cook over hot water until
thick; then set away to cool. Arrange
the sponge-cake in a glass dish and
moisten with a gill of cream, flavored
with vanilla. Sprinkle powdered su
gar over the cake. Then spread a
layer of raspberry jam or strawberry
jelly over this. Add the macaroons
and pour the cold custard over the
whole. Heap whites of eggs, beaten
Btiff, over the top, sweetening them
slightly, or whipped cream in place
of the eggs. Chill thoroughly before
serving.
Corn Bread.—Sift one cupful of yel
low cornmeal, and one cupful of flour,
and put together. Add one teaspoon
ful of baking powder, and half a tea
spoonful of salt. Beat two egg yolks
light; add a pint of milk and a table-
spoonful of melted butter. Stir this
into the meal and flour, and last of all
stir In gently the beaten whites of
the eggs. Pour the batter into a
thoroughly well-greased breadpan.
The batter should be two inches deep,
.lust before it is placed in the oven,
pour carefully into the middle of the
batter, a cupful of sweet milk. Do
this very gently, and do not stir It.
Bake in a moderate oven for at least
three-quarters of an hour. When
done, cut into squares with a hot
knife, split open and butter and eat
while hot.
Virginia Smothered Chicken.—Spilt
a tender chicken down the back and
lightly season with Balt and pepper.
Put Into a roasting pan with a cupful
of liot water and bake in a hot oven
until tender. As soon as it begins to
brown, make a paste of two table
spoonfuls each of butter and flour,
spread over the chicken, and then
baste every ten minutes with the pan
drippings until the chicken is a nice
brown. Take out the chicken and
keep hot. Place the pan over the fire
and pour in a cupful of rich milk or
thin cream, and stir until It bolls up.
Season to taste with salt and pepper,
and pour over the chicken. Garnish
your dish and serve.
Fried Oy*ters.
Select large fine oysters, drain and
dry with n napkin, lift with thumb
and forefinger on either side of the
eye or hard portion; dip into bread
crumbs and then into beaten egg. and
again into bread crumbs. It is seldom
necessary to add salt to the crumbs,
but a little pepper, black or red, as
preferred, is an improvement. After
crumbling, pat the oyster between
the hands and 'ay upon a platter to
dry well before frying. To fry, im
merse in deep hot fat in which a
piece of bread will brown nicely.
When the oyster comes to the surface
it is done. Drain and keep upon a
hoi platter until ail are ready to serve.
Oyster Cocktail.
Cut a cover off stem parts of six
even sized sound green peppers, scoop
out Insides, remove seeds from covers
as well as stems, and place in six
small, deep oyster plates with shaved
ice all around. Place 48 freshly open
ed small Blue Point oysters In a
bowl, add six drops tabasco sauce, six
tablespoonfuls freshly and very finely
grated horseradish. Mix all well to
gether, then evenly divide oysters In
the six green peppers, place covers
on and serve with a teaspoon on each
plate.
Olive Oil for Shoe*.
Patent leather shoes may be kept
in good condition during the cold
weather by rubbing them with a little
olive oil and polishing with a piece
of Canton flannel. This will keep the
leather from cracking and the shoes
will always appear new
Hard Soap.
Soap that is allowed to dry and
harden lasts twice as long as if used
when fresh. Therefore, it la cheaper
to buy in quantities and keep it in a
dry place.
POULTRY
• W3S
COLONY HOUSES FOR WINTER
Some Poultrymen Arrange Summer
Coop* iri Suitable Manner for U«e
During the Cold Weather.
When young birds are brought In
from the range we often find our
selves In need of more house room to
winter the increased flock.
There are several ways In which the
summer colony coops may be made to
piece out the winter houses. If there
is but one it may be placed close to
the main house and used as an extra
scratching and exercising room. The
fowls may then pass from the main
room to the addition by means of a
tube constructed of boards and set
into the opening about 10 by 20 Inches
in size, cut near the floor of each
building. A dry goods box with top
and bottom removed will answer nice
ly as a connecting passageway.
Some people fit up the summer col
ony coops as laying rooms, arranging
all nests in them and thus leaving the
whole space in the main building for
use of the hens in the daytime. Still
others use the coops as dusting rooms.
Especially do the early brooder bouses
answer nicely for this, as there is usu
ally plenty of sunlight. The dust may
be kept moist and free from trash and
so does not get into the food and water
vessels, as it often does when nesting
and feeding must be done In the same
room. Sometimes two or three of
these coops are used together for 'a
small flock, one being used for a roost
ing room, ODe for a nest room and
exercise. In each case they are joined
by a wooden tube or passageway.
Some make their summer colony
coops of knockdown BectionB so ar
ranged that some five or six of them
may be set up together in one continu
ous shed for sheltering the birds in
winter. Such a pen must either be
banked with straw or covered with pa
per for the winter to rhake it wind-
proof. By the time the young birds
are ready for the colony houses an
other year the old ones are having
free run of the farm.
DRINKING PAN AND GRIT BOX
Vessel Is Elevated to Prevent Litter
Being Scratched Into It—Contriv
ance Is Easily Made.
The accompanying illustration of a
combination drinking pan and grit
box appeared in a recent issue of
Successful Farming. The idea of ele
vating the drinking pan is to keep the
water clean and prevent litter being
scratched into it. The birds soon
learn to fly upon the perch In front
of the pan, to get the clear water.
The pan Itself Is made about three
inches deep, so that when the wa
ter becomes frozen it can be easily
dumped out.
The small hopper or box under the

for oyster shell and grit, or beef
scrup. The frame on which the pan
rest: is made to fit over the side of
the hopper, the cross slats being firm
on the top of the hopper. The whole
contrivance can be easily made out of
odds and ends of lumber found lying
around most poultry or barn yards.
The combination, when finished, Is
hung on the wall at a convenient
height.
PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS
Better Prices Are Always Secured
When Eggs Are Sorted According
to Size and Color.
Even buyers at the country store
will appreciate your efforts if you will
sort your eggs according to size and
color. Graded eggs show up a great
deal better than those that are piled
in promiscuously, and should — and
will—command a better price If the
dealer’s attention is called to the fact,
and he Is assured that your eggs will
be furnished that way all the time.
There are few, even of country
stores, that would not be able to
command a higher price for uniform,
clean, fresh eggs, attractively picked,
and one that produces that kind the
year round can Becure an advance in
the market price. Large shippers
will jump at the chance to secure eggs
of this class, and are always ready to
pay a higher price.
One firm made the statement re
cently that strictly first-class eggs
Were worth eight cents a dozen more
to their trade than eggs that they
could not guarantee. It is the
cheapest possible way to increase the
poultry Income. Try It.
Beat Grain Ration.
A mixture of wheat and ogts makes
one of the very best grain rations for
hens. They lay on it because it con
tains the stuff of which eggs are made.
CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUPJF FIGS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose” mother Insisted
on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
agulnst taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize wnat they
do. The children's revolt Is well-found
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
Injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious “California Syrup of Figs." Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that It never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle, Adv.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don’t Look Old! Try Grandmother’*
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray,

Grandmother kept her hair beauti

with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that, dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a
largo bottle of this old-timo recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be, depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and Is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
ono strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glosEy, soft and abundant.—Adv.
