UFs Mrs. W. J. Bryan Ill Tries to See Wilson MUST KEEPIftB 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? ^ ^ < To discriminate against investors 1„ tantamount to putting a ban upon thrift and a premium upon thriftless-1 r.esa. i Mini»t«r of Foreign Affair* In Note to Powers Act* for Government.

If you do, Japan will pounce upon them without a moment's hesitation." “There will be no war,” he con tinued. “It Is out of the question. Japan’s desire for the Philippines is a strong Incentive, and the action of Califor nia—which is opposed by a respect able number of Californians them selves—is another, but Japan Is not prepared for war and neither is the United States. “If Japan should go to war with us now they would lick us—at first.

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#*.

"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.

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.
