Beginning to Realize Vigilance
Is Necessary to Proper Cor
poration Administration.
BY B. C. FORBES.
Eternal vigilance Is the price not
only of liberty, but of progress,
prosperity and even bare solvency.
Security holders of modest mean*
-.the great array of America's four
million bond and stock holders—are
not vigilant enough. They leave
i hinge overmuch to the will of di-
ngwtors and onicer*, waking up only
altar something serious has hap
pened to Injuro or wipe out savings*.
The original Havomwyer uiiert to say
It wj4* none of a stockholder's busi
ness wtrat a company was doing aa
long aa the atochholder received his
dividends regularly. Wo all knov,-
VHY Havemeyer took that attitude:
there were things going on In the
Sugar Trust that its head did nor
want pryed into.
But ara American stockholders be
ginning to realize that vigilance on
their pert Is necessary to the proper
administration of corporation af
faire. There are encouraging sign*
that they are.

Did you notice that the Stool Cor
poration had quite an interesting,
Illuminating annual meeting tho
other day'.' It wits more like tbo an
nual meeting of a British company
than an American one. Tho holders
Of South Africa mining shares re-
oently compelled directorates to hold
aet only the regular annual meetings
in Johanneeburg. but annual meet
ings in Lonion alio, where stock
holders could attend and put the
director* through their paces. The
Johannesburg meetings— T hero at
tended hundred* of them—ate of the
eut-and-drlcd, American pattern.
* *
Minority stockholders have bean
manifesting lively Interest In the run
ning of numbers of corporations here
lately. They ara not satisfied with
certain ads of the managements, and
they hat o asserted vigorously instead
of remaining dumb and submissive.
Bodies of stockholders In such com
panies as Centra: Leather. Federal
Mining and Smelting. Vulean Det'.n-
rting Nett York * Harlem Railway,
Rutland Railroad and Goldfield Con
solidated have been showing active
interest lb the doings of directors,
ar.d In more than one instance tangi
ble results have been obtained.
* * •
Tito days when the presiden, or
one or two directors of a big cor
poration could tun it as a private,
personal affair art, over. If the pub
lic are asked to supply capital for
an enterprise, th-jr. that 6ame public
are surely entitled to be Informed
as to how their ■ capital Is being
used. Secrecy hegete acts of dark
ness; publicity breeds honesty.
• * *
I have received a letter from
President F. D. Underwood, of the
Erie. Railroad, which will not be mis
applied If reproduced here, for it
bear* upon the need for vigilance
upon the part of security holders—
although the vigilance he urges re
lates to the activities, not of tho
directors, but of tile multiplicity of
governmental authorities who now
have virtually usurped the powers
of the men responsible for conduct
ing the roads. Mr. Underwood;
write*:
If some one can do something
to awaken the shareholders of
the railroads the situation will be
much Improved. Surrounded, as
railroads are, by spineless gover
nors and designing legislators, the
shareholders are haring cold
comfort, but they do tick seem to
realise they have a remedy.
As for the oondhoidors: They
are in a class by themselves. You
will get nothing from a bondhold
er until his interest stops. While
many railroads in this country
will pass and others reduce their
dividends, the situation Is not yet
serious enough to involve the
bondholders; so that It Is upon
the stockholders (In many in
stances widows and children thAt
cannot be marshalled) that the
hardship "will fall. The Vvorik of
despoliation will continue until
the facilities become Impaired,
when the public wiil take a band
in it, and we shall then, perhaps,
. have a remedy.
« « *
The American has been urging the
necessity for vigilance on the part
of security holders. Heretofore, al
most every class of citizens has had
its champions, but the rank and file
of bondholders and stockholder*
have had few friends In the halls of
our Legislatures. Is it not time, to
change this? ^ ^ <

NEW YORK. April SO.—“Do you
think she looks neglected for ray hav
ing devoted.some time to my profes
sion?” asked Beatrice Forbes -Robert
son Hale, as she proudly exhibite 1
her two arid a half year old baby to
a reporter.
The youngest member of the well
known dramatic family of England
had been speaking from practical
experience on "The Married Woman’s
Problem: Shall She Work or Shall
Sue Not Work Outside the House?"
'Like score® of young women of
to-day I insisted upon continuing
my work for a while after marriage,
or delaying our marriage for at least
two years. Mr. Hale was a graduate
of the Harvard law school when we
became engaged.
“I felt that I wanted to give my
baby fresh air and the conditions that
make for strong and healthy children.
1 continued my star career, as Mr.
Hale sensibly agreed that I should .i >.
Like plenty of young people, we
might have preferred to live in a
two-room and kitchenette apartment
in Harlem, with the baby looking out
on the stone walls of a court Instead
of green trees and the sunshine, but
we preferred to work together until
we could have things Just as vre
wanted them.
No Disgrace to Work.
“When young men get over the
foolish idea that It is a disgrace for
their wives to work we shall have •
more ideal married conditions. A j
man has far more respect for a wife :
whom he knows has been able to j
support herself before marriage and i
can help with the support of the
family, if necessary, after man lag#*.
She becomes a true partner In mar
riage. and no* a leaning, whining
creature—the kind that frequently
accepts alimony and considers it no
disgrace.
"All this talk that is receiving uo
much attention from school boards
and corporations of married women
teachers and other married women o f
the professions sacrificing their ca
reers to children is nonsense. For -
ing capable women to abandon a pro
fessional or business life for this rea
son belongs to the reasoning of a
past age.
Tells of the Benefits.
“And why shouldn’t she be as mu *u
if not more interested in working for
the little family she loves, and socie
ty for whom she has done a servb e
than before marriage in merely
working for herself?” asked the
young woman, who before her mar
riage to Swinburne Hale, four years
ag^had won fame on the same stage
Ellen Terry, Herbert Tree.
I
Henry Irving and other noted English
players.
At her pretty home at Forest Hills.
L. 1., Mrs. Hale explained why so
ciety and the family were oenefitted
by the wife working outside the
home.
“The chief reason why young folks
hesitate about marriage is the econ
omic one,” she said. "Society’s snob
bish notions ?ind false standards of
life, instead of encouraging matri
mony among the young, make it as
difficult for them as possible.
