When the Annual Reunion of the G..
a. IL. is held, Michigan is always well
represented. Around the camp fires of
the encampment our boys tell OF the
hardShips they have gone through and
the listener who knows nothing of war
will wonder how they lived to tell the
tale. Few men, who followed old glory
and escaped the shot and shell, re-
turned home without some legacy as a
constant reminder of their war days.
Our representative found Veteran o. T..
Newcomb, of Detroit, at his place of
residence, No. 237 Second street. Mr..
Newcomb told him how the little con-
queror had rendered him invaluable
service. He gives his account here, and
some words of advice tersely told. lie
said:
"A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of
20 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but / was one of the many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but one
of the many hardships and privations
passed through during the Civil War,
and it is no wonder that G.. A. Il. men
suffer from aches and pains, the most
prevalent of these being due to kidney
disorders. I am pleased to note that
great many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as i, have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.

perience, but from observation. To

''She doesn't need any help, does
she?" inquired VIII innocently. And,
going over where Clara lay with her
face hid in the pillow of a large couch,
VIII tried to pull the pillow out from
under her head.
LET me alone, VIII. / don't feel

pillow.
"Pshaw! you're fooling"'
"No, I'm not. Let me alone"
"Come here. or won't read your SEN

reluctantly withdrew, for he knew
from experience that Alice would keep
her word.
"All right. Now, go ahead; not too
fast. Here! Wait a minute! Let me

At that minute the door opened, and

audience, Mr.. Bryan propounded this
question, so ridiculous that it would be
unworthy of notice had it come from
any other man than one who aspires to
be president:
"Why should corporation organized
in this state be permitted to enter into
interstate commerce until it first shows
that it is going out to do legitimate

POLITICAL COR
PORATIONS.

no,,ors acceptance Mr.. |
Bryan stated that |
"the democratic party does not seek to
embarrass corporations engaged in legi-
innate business, but it does protest
against corporations entering politics
and attempting to assume control of the
instrumentalities of government. A
corporation is not organized for political
purposes and should be compelled to
confine itself to the business described
in it's charter" Notwithstanding this
assurance, the populist attorney general
of Nebraska, under instructions from
Mr.. Bryan, began suit against the cor
poration operating the starch factory at
Nebraska City to compel the abandon
ment and closing of the local factory.
The starch company is a corporation
that has never "entered politics." It
never attempted to "assume control of
the instrumentalities of government"
It never sought in any way to influence
legislation in it's favor. It never asked
or received any bounty, bonus or special
privilege from the state. In short it
did contine itself exclusively to the
"business described in it's charter" But
this did not protect it from the attack of
populism.
Several months have now elapsed
since the filing of the petition against
the starch COM
pany. In the
meantime this petition has been used as
the text for numerous declamations
against trusts by both the attorney gen.
eral and Mr.. Bryan. But no effort has
yet been made by the trust smashers
to get any of the parties into court. No
summons has been issued or asked for.
If the law has been violated why have
not the guilty ones been apprehended
and brought to trial? Why all this de-
lay? Gan it be that the following SEN
tence, from Mr.. Bryan's letter, imme-
diately after the one quoted above, sug-
gests the reason:
Honest corporations engaged in an
honest business will find it to their ad-
vantage to aid in the enactment of such
legislation as will protect them from the
undersigned odium which will be
brought upon them by these corpora
tions which enter the political arena"
Mr.. Bryan evidently did not mean it
when he said that corporations must
not enter politics
He gives them all
a cordial invitation to get into politics
and laid in the enactment Of legisla-
tion." He frankly says they will find
it to their advantage" to do so. In
other words Mr.. Bryan objects not so
much to corporations "entering poll
tics'' as he does to tho qDay they go
