Garfield Says Its the Corporations
or the Government.
QUESTION; WHICH WILL RULE?
Commissioner PayB High Compliment
to Organized Labor and Says it is
as Necessary as Organized Capital
Discusses Recent Legislation.
(By Associated Press.)
BUFFALO, N. \\. Oct. 10.?"Gov
ernormcnt,' Control of Corporations"
was the subject which Commissioner
James P.. Garfield. of the bureau of
corporations and Industries of the do
part dent of commerce and labor,
chore for Ills address before the Kos;
in/nister Club last night. I
Mr. Gar field said that organized la?
bor was just as Important a part of
the Industrial system as was organiz?
ed capital, and that organized labor
was now going through the same con?
ditions which organized capital had
gone through for fifty years, lie said
that he had found among the leaders,
an well as the rank and file of or?
ganized labor, men who represented
the highest type of American citizen- '
Whip, and that, because now and then
si dishonest or unprincipled man was I
found among them it was unfair to
?criticize all organized labor from the |
same viewpoint.
Mr. Garfield dealt at considerable
length with the new rate bill, which, j
he said, would throw light on the
corporate Interests. It is now up to
the government, he continued, to see
that experts are hired who will bo
a bio to go over the books of the rall
H'oad companies?men who will lie
able to trace every penny?and who
will be able (o tell when a rebate Is
given no matter In what form i: I
given.
"Under this system the managers
will he afraid to give rebates," he
said. Continuing, he said the situa?
tion hail simmered down to where It
was sluiply a question of the govern?
ment controlling the corporations or
the corporations controlling the gov?
ernment.
Mr. Garfield said that the benefit
\i{ government regulation was shown
in our national banking system. He
admitted, however, that there could
be some improvements In that.

The environs of Pclusjuin, In lower
Egypt, in ages past stood foremost
among sunny lands where the culture
of indigo and the manufacture of fab?
rics died with it were the principal In?
dustries. In the middle ages, when the
Crusaders landed on the coast of
Egypt and entered Pclsliim, where
Port Said 1.1 now situated, they pur?
chased quantities of the bluo material
which they east over (heir panoply of
war. Afterward the same material
w:ts made In Franco and became the
fabric of which the working garment
of the m?h- peasant was made and is
to tili < day.
The name of the Ideality was given
ll:- fabric, and this was retained by
tile French production, but contracted
lo Peloiise, which later on was changed
to idoii.se (pronounced bluzoj. The
smock worn by English male peasants'
is a similar garment ami. I bough it is
not written in history that the Idolise
crossed the channel soon after Its
entry into Franco, ii would seem
probable from the fuel that In other
times the smock was now and then
Called a "blowse."
This, fair ladies, is the origin of Ilm
garment of our warmest alVeelion. to
which we have loyally clung for years
In spile of many ruthless detractors
nud will continue to do so notwith?
standing the fact thai, whether called
"lilnzc" or "blowse," ll Is not of aristo-1
crntie lineage.

THE LOBSTER'S SHELL.
A Xtm One 1? nrtitvn llrror?- the Old

Odd as It may sound to say so, the
lobster mows before, not after, be
casts bis old hard shell?-that Is to say,
he makes new cells ami tissues, which
art* not at ohco tilled out. but which
are intended to swell to their full Ub
inenslous as soon us be has gol rid of
his binding ami c.e.illnitig external skel
cletoti. When the ei'llleal moment; at
last arrives a new soft shell grows en?
tire within the older and harder one,
and the animal then withdraws him?
self, leg by leu. daw by claw and
swimmcret by swlintnuret, out of tho
enveloping eon! of until which covers
him. The shedding of the old ni.it W
complete and absolute. Not a frag?
ment remains, liven the apparently In?
ternal hard portions are east Ott with
ihe rest, for the entire covering forms
one elnllutlotis piece, the Interior por?
tions being really, so to speak, folds of
the skin inserted inward,
An out I rely new skeleton had already
grown within the old one, but exceed?
ingly soft and flexible in texture, and
the body becomes so almost fluid or
Jellylike?not In structure, but In pow?
er of compression ami extension? that
even lite big claws are drawn out
through the narrower apertures of tho
joints in a perfectly marvelous man?
ner. After a longer or shorter period
of muscular paroxysm the soft lobster
at last disengages Itself entirely from
the dead shell ami emerges upon tho
world a tiew and defenseless fleshy
creature. The whole cask skeleton, tin
ruptured in any part, hut disengaged
by lifllng up the body piece where II
.joins (lie tail, looks exactly like tin ar>

The British Medical journal says
(hat only an imaginary remedy will
cure an Imaginary disease, which i->
true to the old maxim. "Simllhi siuilli
bus eurantnr." It continues: "This,
may be condemned by the righteous as
quackery, and quackery of a kind it
undoubtedly Is. But if the real end of
medicine is to cure can she, when le?
gitimate means fail, afford to despise
anything that relieves suffering, even
though the suffering be Imaginary?"
ForfrivriM??,?.
"I can forgive, but 1 cannot forget," \
Is only one way of saying. "1 will not
forgive." A forgiveness ought to bo
like a canceled note, torn in two and
burned up, so that it can never be
shown against a man. There is ah
ugly kind of forgiveness In the world
~ a kind of hedgehog forgiveness shot
out like quills.
