The Week

This article discusses the matter related to politics and economics in the U.S., and other international issues. Out of all the legislatures chosen in 1904, the Populists had members in Alabama, the Prohibitionists in Illinois, and the Socialists in Wisconsin. The Socialists have increased their legislative membership in Wisconsin, and elected for the first time members in Illinois, Florida, and virtually in Pennsylvania, where two candidates of the Federation of Miners have been sent to Harrisburg. The postal service has always been the standard example of Government ownership and operation in Illinois. A group of Chicago capitalists actually made the formal offer before the Congressional commission to take over the Post Office bodily. France and Germany, jealous and opposed in so many respects, are in unison at least in the matter of due protection of literary property The agreement of 1883 between them has now been amended, extending the period during which an author nay control the right of translation.
