Elizabeth C'ady Stanton makes ob jection to the American custom of Initials and snitsals snitsals for names, and is of \a.ttiea, . the opinion that A, Band C do Tcry well for kegs of fish, barrels of flour and ppools of thread, but not for immortal men and women. Mrs. Stanton mentions an acquaintance with an insignificant name whose given name was Wendell Phillips. He always signed himself W. P. , and thus consigned himself to darkest obscurity, whereas if he would lay hold on the Wendell Phillips jiart of his name with pen and ink the whole might have been dignified into a title of some importance. But if he were a person of no importance 'Wen dell Phillips* couldn't save him. On the other hand, as the St. Louis Globe- Democrat has remarked, the query arises, how many deserving, even su perior, persons may have been clogged from rising by humble names? Might not Jaggs become a man of weight in the community if he were named Gor don, or Winthrop, or Buckingham, or St. Clair? This is a deep question and one that much may depend on. The two greatest presidents of the United States were Washington and Lincoln, names of distinguished flavor, had their owners never been patriots or presidents. It is significant, too, that they might have been G. H. Washing ton and A. B. Lincoln, but, on the con trary, were christened with no super fluity of identifying cognomens; sim ply George and Abraham. The inde pendence of mind which is in this day overcoming accidents of birth and what one might call the absurdities and excesses of christening now per mits the bearer of a name that does not suit him to change it. Persons branded with the inevitable two ini tials drop the first name if they so desire and spell the second one in full. One does not have to wear a name as some people do a wen or a wart, as if it were sacred and could noi be re moved. A man living in a communi ty where there were 20 others of the tame name continually getting his mail, cashing his money orders, con fusing his identity with theirs in po lice court, perhaps, would be justified in appealing to the law and becoming an Ardleigh, a Featherstonebaugh, a Plantagnet-. or anything euphonious that might strike his fancy. Fate should not be permitted to suppress him with such a feeble instrument as a name that mingles him with a thou sand others from whom he has noway of being singled out. This is an age of freedom.

REVISION AS REMEDY Repudiated by the President for Treatment of the Trusts. Gorernmf lit Control and PnbllcMy trfrd to Meet the ( rl»l«—( iinitl tulional Amendment the I itinmite He««oree. The keynote of tire republican par ty's attitude on the tariff crisis, pre cipitated by Speaker Henderson's wwith drawal from the congressional race in liowa, was sounded at Cincinnati on Saturday, September 20, by President Roosevelt in a lengthy address, in the course of which he said: "There are certain conditions which, I think, we lay down as Indispensable to the proper treatment of all corporations which, from their size, have become Important factors In the social development of the community. "Before speaking, however, of what can be done by way of remedy, let me say a word or two as to certain proposed reme dies which, ir. my judgment, would be in effective or mischievous. The first thing to remember Is that If we accomplish any good at all It must be by resolutely keeping In mind the intention to do away with any evils in the conduct of big corporations, while steadfastly refusing to assent to in discriminate assault on all forms of corpor ate capital us such. The line of demarca tion drawn must always be on conduct, not on wealth. Our objection to any given corporation must be not that It is big, but that It behaves badly. "Nor can we afford to tolerate any pro posal which will strike at the so-called trusts only by striking at the general well being. We are now enjoying a period of great prosperity. This prosperity Is gener ally diffused through all sections and through all classes. The men who propose to get rid of the evils of the trusts by meas ures which will do away with this general well-being advocate a policy which would rot only be a damage to the community as a whole, but would defeat its own professed object. (onaldrri lte-medlea for Evlli. "A remedy much advocated at the mo ment is to take off the tariff from all arti cles which are made by trusts. To dothis it will be necessary first to define trusts. The language commonly used'by the advocates of the method implies that they mean all articles made by large corporations, and that the charges In tariff arc to be made with punitive Intent toward these large corporations. Of course, If the tariff is to be changed in order to punish them it should be changed so as to punish those who do ill, not merely those that are pros perous. It would neither be just nor ex pedient to punish the big corporations as big corporations; what we wish to do Is to protect the people from any evil that may grow out of their existence or maladminis tration. "Some of those corporations e"'o well and others do ill. If in any case the tariff is found to foster a mor.oply which dots ill. why, of course, no protectionist would ob ject to a modification of the tariff sufficient to remedy the evil. Hut in a very few cases does the so-called trust really monopolize the market. Take any very big corporation which controls, say, something over half the products of a given Industry. Affeela IIIK nnd Utile Alike. "Surely In rearranging the schedules af fecting such a big corporation it would be necessary to consider the Interests of its smaller competitors, which control the re maining part and which being weaker woulds suffer most from any tariff designed to punish all the producers; for.of course, the tariff must be made light or heavy for big and little producers alike. Moreover, such a corporation necessarily employs Very many thousands of workmen, and the minute we proceeded from denunciation to action it would be necessary to consider the Interests of these workmen. "Furthermore, the products of many trusts are unprotected, and would be en tirely unaffected by any change In the tariff, or at most very slightly so. The Standard Oil company offers a case in point, and the corporations which control the anthracite coal output offer another— for there Is no duty whatever an anthracite coal. Seope of Arnrame^if. "I am not now discussing the question of the tariff as such, whether from the stand point of the fundamental difference be tween those who believe in a protective tar iff and those who believe in free trad'e. nor from the standpoint of those who, while they believe In a protective tariff, feel that tfiere could be a rearrangement of our schedules, either by direct legislation or by reciprocity treaties, which would result In enlarging our markets; nor yet from the Standpoint of those who feel that stability of economic policy Is at the moment our prime economic need, and that the bene fits to be derived from any change in sched ules would not compensate for the damage to business caused by the widespread l agi tation which would follow any attempted general revision of the tariff at this mo ment. "Without regard to the wisdom of any one of those three propositions, It remains true that the real evils connected with the trusts cannot be remedied by any charge in the tariff laws. The trusts can be (lam aged by depriving them of the benefits of a protective tariff only on condition of damaging all their small competlfors and all the wage wrkers employed in the Indus try. This point is very Important, and it is desirable to avoid any save willful misun derstanding. Kffeet of TnrlfT (linnge*. "I am not now considering whether, on grounds totally unconected with the trusts, it would be well to lower the duties on vari ous schedules, either by direct legislation or by legislation or treiaties designed to secure as an offset reciprocal advantages from the nations with which we trade. "My point is that charges in the tariff would have little appreciable effect on the trusts save as they shared In the general harm or good proceeding from such changes. No tariff change would help one of our smaller corporations or one of our private Individuals In business, still les? one of own wage workers, us against a large corporation In the same busir.e s, on the contrary, if It bore heavily on the iutge corporation It would Inevitably be felt still more by that corporation's weaker rivals, while any injurious result would of neces sity be shared by both the employer and employed In the business concerned. "The Immediate Introduction of substan tial free trade in all articles manufactured by trusts that is, by the largest ar.d most successful corporations—would not affect some of the most powerful of our business combinations in the least, save by the dam age (A>n« to the general business welfare of the country; others would undoubtedly be seriously affected, but much less so than their we*her rivals, while the |OM would he divided l>< tw. <-n th. capitalists and the la borers. and after tlie years of pal I- ai d dlstreai bud been lived! through n d some return to prosperity hall occurred, ever, though ill wire on a lower plane of pros perity than tefore, the relative ■: iffet ei.re between ti e trust; am! th ,rd Its Ameri can competitors would" probably be im proved Utile, would b ive lit «t. dor e tow .rd cut til k .in ,r nriioiniUli.K thi u tl till I I otliii.g I .

"You must face the fact that only harm will come from a proposition to attack the so-called trusts in a vindictive spirit by measures conceived solely with a desire of hurting them, without any regard' as to whether discrimination should be made be tween the good and the evil in them and without even any regard as to whether the necessary sequence of the action would be the hurting of other Interests. The adop tion of such a policy would mean tempor ary damage to the trusts, because it would mean temporary damage to all of our busi ness interests, but the c-ftect would be only temporary, for exactly as the damage af fected. all alike, good and li&d, so the reac tion would affect all alike, good and bad. Itemed? by l.etilxlu t ton. "The necessary supervision and control in which I tirmly believe as the only method of eliminating the real evils of the trust must come through wisely and cautiously framed legislation, which shall aim in the first place to give definite control to some sovereign over the great corporations, ancil which shall be followed, when once this power has been conferred, by a system giv ing to the government the full knowledge which is the essential for satisfactory ac tion. Then, when the knoweldge, one of the essential features of which is proper publicity, has been gained, what further steps' of any kind are necessary can be taken with the confidence born of the pos session of power to deal with the subject, and of a thorough know ledge of what ought to be ar.d oan be done in the matter. We need ao'idtional power; and we need knowl edge. "Our constitution was formed when the economic conditions were so different that each state could wlseliy be left to handle the corporations within its limits as' it saw fit. Nowadays all the numerous corpora tions which I am considering do what is really an interstate business, and as' the states have proceeded on very different lines in regulating thtm they are often or ganized In a state in which they do little or no business and do enormous business In. other states, to the spirit of whose laws they may be openly antagonistic. For < 'on* I il(■ I ion nl Amendment!. "It might be better If all the states could agree to work along the same lir.es in deal ing with these corporations, but there is not the slSghtest prospect of such agree ment. Therefore I personally feel that ulti mately the nation will have to assume the responsibility of regulating these very targe corporations which do an interstate busi ness. The states must combine to meet the problem caused by the great combinations of capital; and the easiest way for the states to combine is by action through the national government. "I am well aware that the process of con stitutional amendment is necessarily a slow one, and one into which our people are reluctant to enter, save for the best of rea sons, but 1 am confident that In this In stance the reasons' exist. "I am also sjware that there will be diffi culty in framing an amendment which will meet the objects of the case and yet which will secure the necessary support. The very fact that there must be delay in securing the adoption of such an amendment Insures full discussion and calm consideration on the whole subject and will prevent any Ill considered action. It«iom fop Peep I) I«<-u «« I<> n. "I have no intention of trying to outlin* the proper phraseology of such an amend ment. for I know it must come as a matter of agreement and! discussion. Hut I firmly believe that all these obstacles can be met if only we face them with the determina tion to overcome them and. with the further determination to overcome them in ways which shall not do damage to the country as* a whole, which, on the contrary, shall further our industrial development and shall help instead of hindering all corpora tions which work out their success by means that axe just and fair toward ail Men. "Without the adoption of a constitutional amenc'ment my belief is that a good deal can be d'one by law. It is difficult to say exactly how much, because experience has taught us' that in dealing with these sub jects whore the lines dividingthe rights and duties of the state and of the nation are in doubt it has sometimes been difficult for congress to forecast the action of the courts upon Its legislation. Aikii fur SnpepvUlon. "Such legislation, whether obtainabla noworobtalnable'only aftera constitutional 1 amendment, should provide for a reasonable ! supervision, the most prominent feature of which at first should' be publicity; that is, the making public bofh to the governmental authorities and to the people at large of the essential facts in which the public is con cerned. "This would give us exact knowledge of many points which are now not only in doubt, but the subject of fierce controversy. Moreover, the mere fact of the publication would cure some very grave evils, for the light of day is a deterrent to wrongdoing. | It would doubtless disclose other evils with ' which for the time being we could devise no way to grapple. Finally, It would'dis close others that could be grappled with and cured by further legislative action. "I advocate action which the president only oan advise and which he has no power in himself to take. Under our present leg islative and constitutional limitations the national executive can work only between narrow lines in the field of action concern ing great corporations. Berween those lines I assure you that exact and even handed Justice will be dealt, and is being de-alt to all men, without regard to per sons." The- Pretldent'ii I* r o«r it in ine.

It Is Abandoned on Account of Abcess on His Leg. The President Submit* to an Opera* (lon In nn Indianapolis llutplui and Ileturns to Wanhlngtou Hl* Reception nt Detroit Was Enthusiastic. Detroit, Sept. 23. —President Roose velt's two days' visit to Detroit came to an end last evening at the conclu sion of a banquet tendered him in Light Guard armory by the Spanish war veterans, the opening of whose third annual reunion lu; attended in the morning. It was a brilliant «pent. The banquet was the culmination of an extremely busy day for the presi dent. At 11 o'clock he drove to Light Guard armory and attended the open ing session of the third annual re union of Spanish war veterans. He was given a tumultuous welcome by the soldiers and his speech was en thusiastically received. President IJoosevelt drove from the armory to the steamer Taslimoo, on board of which he spent three hours riding on the river. Every steam craft on the river saluted the Tashmoo with earsplitting blasts of the whistle, and the steamer Yantic, U. S. X., fired a presidential salute of 21 guns as the Tashmoo left her wharf. For what is believed to have been the first time in the history of the country a president of the United States reviewed a regiment of British troops. The Twenty-first Essex Fusi liers participated in the parade by the special permission of this govern ment and the Canadian militia de partment. Indianapolis, Sept. 24.—President Roosevelt on Tuesday afternoon was forced to abandon the remainder of his trip to the northwest and to un dergo a surgical operation. The acci dent which befell him at Pittsfield, Mass., when a trolley car crashed in to his carriage is responsible for the sudden ending of the president's trip and his being compelled to undergo the operation. In that accident his knee was badly bruised and an ab scess formed which gave him some trouble, but not enough at first to in terfere with his plans. The hardships of his present trip, however, aggravated the trouble, and Dr. Lung, his official physician, to gether with Dr. Richardson, who ac companied him on the trip, thought it advisable yesterday to consult other dootors. Accordingly Drs. Oliver and Cook were called to the Columbia club, where the president was to be entertained at luncheon. They de cided that an operation was neces sary and decided that it should be performed at once. At the conclu sion of the luncheon, Secret p.-y Cor telyou issued a statement to the press giving the facts in the ease. The president was driven from the clubhouse to St. Vincent's hospital, where he was taken to a private oper ating room. He was accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou, Assistant Secre taries Loeb and Barnes, Gov. Durbin and Senators Beveridge and Fair banks. The operation was performed by I)r. John Oliver, assisted by Dr. Cook. The hospital was guarded by a de tachment of 20 soldiers, all of whom served in the 'Spanish-American war, under command of Col. Russell B. Harrison. At the conclusion of the operation the physicians authorized the follow ing statement: "As a result of the traumalism (bruise) received in the trolley acci dent at Pittsfield. Mass., there was found to be a circumscribed collec tion of perfectly pure serum in the middle third of the left anterior tib ial region, the sac containing about two ounces, which was removed. "The indications are that the presi dent should make speedy recovery. It is absolutely imperative, however, that he should remain quiet and re frain from using the leg. The trou ble is not serious, but temporarily disa tiling." At 7:45 o'clock last evening the president, accompanied by members of his immediate party and escorted by .*i company of infantry, was car ried on a stretcher from St. Vincent's hospital to his car and the train left a few minutes later for Washington. Washington, Sept. 25.—President Roosevelt returned to Washington last night from Indianapolis, where he was compelled to abandon his western trip because of an abscess on his leg which developed as a result of the trolley accident at Springfield, Mass. He stood the journey from In dianapolis remarkably well and when he was carried in a wheel chair from the railroad ear to his carriage he was in excellent spirits and appeared to be free from any pain. With Mrs. Roosevelt the president was driven to the temporary White House on Jack son place, where he will remain until the wound is healed. Lord Oerliv Ulna a Hlg l»ur«e.
