Warning to Capital of The Misuse of Power Ey Woodrow Wilson, President of Princeton University. F . OR the first time in the history ol America there is a.gen- X . , , . -wt ho Joined. T eru leeiiuK mat issue is now joiuou ur between the power of accumulated capital and tie privuesoB and the,opportunltles of the masses of the people. The power of accumulated capital, as at all other times and in all other circumstances. Is in the hands of a compara tively small number of persons, but there Is a very wide- vfrtt fr-nst spread impression that these persons have been able In re cent years, as never before, to control the national develop ment in their own interest.' ' ' The contest that has resulted is generally said to 86 between capital and labor, but that is too narrow and too special a conception of it The contest Is rather between capital in all its larger accumulations and all other less 'concentrated, more dispersed, smaller and mere economic forces in the land. This process of segregation is always a symptom of deep discontent. No observant man can longer shut his eyes to the fact that' the contest ing forces in our modern society have broken its unity and destroyed its or ganic harmony not because that was inevitable, but because men have used their power thoughtlessly and selfishly, and because legitimate undertakings have been pushed to illegitimate lengths. The most striking fact about the actual organization of modern society is that the most conspicuous, the most readily wielded anu the most formidable power is not the power of government, but the power of capital. Wo have forgotten what the power of government means, and have found out what the power of capital means, and so we do not fear government and are not jealous of political pawer. We fear capital and are jealous of its domination. There will be need of many cool heads and much excellent, judgment amonsst us to curb this new power without throwing ourselves back into the gulf of old (governmental) domination, from which we were the first to And a practical way of escape. Capital now looks to the people like a force and interest apart, with which they must deal as with a master, and not as with a friend. No one can mis take the fact and no one knows better than the manipulators of capital how many circumstances there are to justify that impression.' We can never ex cuse ourselves from the necessity of dealing with facts.' I am sure that many bankers must have realized that the most isolated and the most criticised interest of all Is banking. The banks are, in the gen eral view and estimation, the especial and exclusive instrumentalities of cap ital, used on a large scale. They stand remote from the laborer, and the body of the people, and put whatever comes into their coffers at the disposal of the great captains of industry, the great masters of finance, the corporations which are in the way to crush all competitors. I shall not stop to ask how far this view of the banks is true. But they are, in fact, singularly remote from the laborer and the body of the people, from the farmer and from the small trader of our extensive countrysides. I trust you will not think me impertinent if I say that they (the bankers) excuse themselves from knowing a great many things which it would be man ifestly to their interests to know, and that they are sometimes singularly ig norant, or at least, singularly Indifferent, about what I may call the social and political functions of banking, particularly in a country governed by opinion.

SAiaVNAjAA-' HE green field lay bright in the sunshine, while beyond rolled the ocean, blue as the sky above it About the side lines great ladies and gentlemen of fashion were gathered to enjoy the game. Some sat in finely upholstered carriages, drawn by magnificent horses, whose golden harness trap pings glittered in the sunshine; others sat in automobiles, while others, clinging to the tradition of an earlier day, were there on horseback. On the piazza of the club-house finely gowned women and well-groomed men drank tea while they watched swift-footed ponies, bearing their crimson and yellow clad riders helter-skelter over the field. As for the game, it was a splendid show they played well, those husky young fellows, with a skill and courage alto gether admirable, giving the lie to the notion that wealth and dissipation necessarily go hand in hand. As I watched the game, admiring the skill of the players, and realizing the magnificent surroundings in which they spend their livessurroundings permitting of Infinite leisure for the cultivation of body and mind the words of Matthew Arnold, in his beautiful apostrophe to Oxford, came to my mind. "There are our young Barbarians at play." Arnold, it will be remembered, referred to the upper, middle, and lower classes of English society as Barbari ans, Philistines, and Populace. The aristocrats, he said. Inherited from the Barbarian nobles, their early ancestors, that Individualism, that passion for doing as one likes, which was so marked a characteristic. From the Barbari ans, moreover, came their love of field sports, the care of the body, manly vigor, good looks, and fine complexions. "The chivalry of the Barbarians with its characteristics of high spirit, choice manners, and distinguished bear- j Ing, "-what: is this," he asks, "but the commencment of the politeness of our! aristocratic Class?" "There are our young Barbarians at play." That line of Arnold's coming to my mind, which at that moment was contrasting the scenes. I have described, suggested the thought that despite the familiar words in the Declaration of Independence, and our inherited repugnance to the idea, we have an upper, middle, and lower class in America.

Has Chapters in Many Cities and Originated in Chicago Mem bers Give Bodies to Science, Then tp Flames. This strange fraternity had its in ception at Hahnemann College, in this city, in 1878. During the thirty one years of its existence its weird teachings and practices have been a profound secret. Its members at the end of their probationary period take an oath that silences their tongues forever. The life on this earth is enjoyed to Its utmost by them. At the end their colleagues, attired in long white sur gical gowns, gather about the bier on which lie the earthly remains of their friend. The spirit they know has de parted, and the clay that is left is given over entirely to science. Their theories are augmented by this grew some gift. When they have finished the rites are' said. At a crematory all that remains is given over to the flames. The doctor that was is re duced to a handful of dust. Dr. Fred W. Wood, former su preme encephalon, acknowledged that the fraternity was for the pur pose of autopsy and cremation. "We believe In three degrees," said Dr. Wood. "They are fraternity, which means the .real fellowship on this earth; autopsy after death, which helps all mankind, and cremation, which puts an end to the earthly shell that remains after the spirit has fiown." "What is done at tho autopsy?" was asked. "I cannot say," replied Dr. Wood. "Our oaths are solemn. What we .do to the body is all in the Interest "of science. It does no harm and it ad vances our knowledge." - ."What is the fraternity's belief in regard to cremation? "wm asked. We believe that cremation is pro per. The body is but clay, and soon er or later becomes but a handful of dust. When it is given over to the fire all Is ended. The translation of 'Ustion' means fire." . Chicago. A strange secret of thirty-one years' standing was re vealed when more than a score of prominent Chicago physicians and surgeons -admitted that they were members of the Ustion Fraternity, a society having for its object the dis section of the bodies of its members after death and cremation of the re mains. This weird fraternity, to which only members of the medical profes sion are admitted, is of national scope. Its headquarters are In a well furnished clubhouse at 3232 Lake Park avenue. Chapters exist in New York, Phila delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities. Its membership is taken from the ranks of the most prominent practitioners in different parts of the United States. Each chapter is known as a verte bra. The Chicago chapter, being the first organized, Is called the "Prime Vertebra." Its high officer is known as the "encephalon," and Its next highest officer is the "medulla." Its other officers are named for other parts of the human body. The members of the fraternity must undergo a preparation or ap prenticeship of four years before they are admitted to full knowledge of its weird rituals. During this period each must study some physiological or medical problem entirely original in his own mind. If his faith and persevernace in the ironclad rules of the society are deemed doubtful he does not become a partof the "body." If the showing Is complimentary the fantastic ceremonials are adminis tered. The society is -divided Into three "degrees," through which ts members must pass. They are fra ternity, autopsy and cremation. Dr. P. M. Oliver, who lives in this city, is the supreme encephalon or national head of the Ustionians. r Make Use of Smamri 1 c - . " r- . 5. y ..

Convention; HcYd la Charlotte Organize for Extermination " PLAN A VIGOROUS WARFARE Assembled ts Make War on the Great 'White PlagTie,-Tnbercnl6l'ifeir Prevalence, Costliness and Fatality Remedies Fointed Out. . At 10 o'clock Tuesday mornwg in the Selwyn Hotel in Charlotte, the North Carolina Convention for .the Prevention ' of Tuberculosis, assetnbL. ed. After the preliminaries were done in due form the doctors plung ed into their subject with great earn estness and real , Space will per mit of only the. gist of the arguments ui . favor of a vigorous warfare gainst the ' great .white plauge." Dr. J. P. Monroe said Tuberculosis is the greatest enemy of modern peo ptejind that it must be exterminated. He held out hope to the afflicted thai' cures are possible, , Dr. Harper ' said that it is esti mated that tuberculosis fatalities ex ceed those ; of war, famine, plague cholrea, yellow fever 'and , small-pox, all combined..- ". 1; It was set forth that even in our own nation 553 people die daily of the disease and that North Carolina shares only too fully in the propor tion. Its courses are understood to be, hereditary tendency, lack of suffici ent clothing, living in infected houses (which should be disinfected) lack of ventilation, lack of cleanliness, un sanitary invironment, lack of proper food, etc., which . can be summed up in the term, Ignoraneo on the part of the people as to the nature of the disease and the means of prevention and cure of it. Poverty was given as a cause and a result of the malady. The cost of the dread disease as brought out is an eye opener. When it is considered what is the average earning capacity of. victims, together with costs of treatment while linger ing, an average .estimate of $8,000 each is placed. Probably 200,000 people die in the United States every year of this malady.. Thus $1,600, 000,000 worth of productive energy is cut off from our nation every year. The remedies advocated so unani mously and forcibly are popular edu cation on the subject, means of treat ment of patients and power to en force laws of health. To educate the people Dr. Williams advocated a small,-well bound, neat book of. about 50 pages, composed in readable, attractive style, also a smaller printed pamphlet as well as other forms -of literature. ' These should be gotten up by the legisla ture and distributed by county co operation. - These books should be taught in the scheols, the teacher having had suitable training, and also frequent lectures should be de livered in the schools on the subject .Hospitals, sanitariums and colonies seem to be the means of -treatment for infected. These, k was set forth, should be maintained parity at least by taxation in order that no; one would wait ; too long ' to apply for help through a feeling of dependency but could claim it as a right. To any objection on ihe score, of costliness is rebutted .. the i immense loss now sustained by Me ravages of tbe disease. -; vi'''.'-':';v ;;t:""'vT''t;-'' A eity like Wilmington: it ' was "es timated, would have about 80 deaths A year. - The eoet of the sickness and death, together with the earnings of these : persons in normal : condition and average life, being about $3,000 would , bring the city's -loss up to $640,000 annually, : It is estimated too,, that in a hospital or sanitarium at a cost of $175, the average life of the afflicted would be1engthened by ten 'yearst i-. - "' .
