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

latin* the trust? with a view to minim'x
ing or abolishing' the evils existent in them
is separate and apart from the question of
tarilT revision.
"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.

"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."

Publicity for the trusts is the first j
step on the president's programme for |
their regulation. The president, like |
all the republicans, is aroused on this ]
trust question, and is anxious that the |
combines which are harmful shall be j
curbed. Of course, all trusts are not of |
this order. Many of them are, how
ever, and these are the ones which the
republicans arc preparing to assail. \
The democrats find no aid and com
fort in the trust issue this year. The I
republicans' are ahead of them
in the attack on the trusts, and the
republicans not only have the power tc
make their promises good, but they
have tbe ability and the honesty, both i

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.

"Was Sick Eight Years with
Female Trouble and Finally
Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Yegetable Compound.
"DEAB MRS. PINKHAM: — I havo
never in my life given a testimonial
before, but you have done so much for
me that I feel called upon to give you
this unsolicited acknowledgement of
MRS. JENNIE E. O'DONNELL,
President of Oakland Woman's Riding CluK
the wonderful curative value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. For eight years I had female
trouble, falling of the womb and other
complications. During that time 1 was
more or less of an invalid and not much
good for anything, until one day I
found a book in my hall telling of
the cures you could perform. I became
interested ; I bought a bottle of Lydia
E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com
pound and was helped; 1 continued its
use and in seven months was cured, and
since that time I have had perfect
health. Thanks, dear Mrs. Pinkham
again, for the health I now enjoy."—
MRS. JENNIE O'DONNELL, 278 East 31st
St., Chicago, 111. 96000 forftit if abov
testimonial Is not genuine.
Women suffering from any
form of female ills can be cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. That's sure.
Mrs. Pinkham advises sick wo
