SELF. Gen. Macarthur, says the Jour
nal, might have said:
THE army under my command offers
the nation as an Easter present the cap
ture of Aguinaldo."
That would have been perfectly true.
General Macarthur commanded the
army in the Philippines, just as Ad-
miral Sampson commanded the fleet
at Santiago. There was no more occa-
sion for Macarthur to mention Fun
ston than there was for Sampson to
mention Schley. But this is what
General Macarthur actually said:
Splendid cooperation navy through
Commander Barry, officers. men, Vicks-
burg, indispensable to success. Funston
loudly praises a Entire army joins
in thank sea service.
1.-The transaction was brilliant in con-
ception and faultless in execution. All
credit must go to Funston, who, under
supervision General Wheaton, organized
and conducted expedition from start to
finish. His reward should be signal and
immediate. Agree with General Wheaton.
who recommends Funston's retention Vol
unteers until he can be appointed Briga-
der General regulars"
Our contemporary invites Admiral
Sampson to study this dispatch a lit
tie and compare it with his W from
Santiago. But Sampson is doubtless
disguised with this Funston business
and pays no attention to it. Funston
is not a member of the army and navy
aristocracy. He is not from West
Point. And SIMPSONS opinion of the
ACCESSIBILITY of promoting sucn persons

a letter to Secretary Long concerning

CORPORATION LAW
STAMPEDES CAPITAL.
Communicated

communicated.
An enormous amount of business is
transacted in one State by corporations
organized under the laws Of other States.
The many drummers on the street, sell
ing goods for incorporated merchants or
manufacturers, means hat contracts for
millions are made daily.
The remarkable law passed last month
prohibits foreign corporations from trans
acting business in West Virginia unless
they comply with section 30 of chapter 54s
as amended. They cannot maintain suit
and are subject to a fine. This section re-
fers to section IS of chapter 30 which. as
amended. purports to require a. foreign
corporation to annually report. "a the
amount of property owned by it in West
Virginia; C) the VALUE Of its property
outside of West Virginia; 90 the proper
ton of its authorized capital stock rep
resented by its property in West vir-
ginia. Such corporations as the Steel
Trust. or Pennsylvania Oil Company. will
be surprised TO hear that this law. If en-
forced, will shut them out of West vir-
ginia unless they employ an expensive
corps Of trained clerks to prepare stats
tics and make disclosures which may

ma contribute something to allay the
anxiety caused by it in commercial cir
Giles. Intelligent readers will understand
that the function Of a paper like this is
10 present briefly such facts as cause
thoughtful men TO Investigate the SUBJ
ject.
First. as to disclosing property in other
States
Section 30 says. If a foreign corporation
complies with THIS section il shall have
the rights, powers and privileges, and be
subject TO the same regulations. ~restric-
tions and liabilities that are conferred and
imposed (by chapters, q. 81, 50 and "a as
amended by this act) on corporations char
tered nnde the laws OF this State. 1t
will be observed that no duty is imposed
except what is imposed on corporations
chartered under the laws or this State,
and THEY are not required to make such
report.
Again. Section IS. being unskllifuny
drafted, fails to effect the object it's au-
thor seems to have had In view. Ii a
"a foreign corporation, which accepts sec
ton % and which desires to avail itself

THE MAN IN THE UNIFORM.

If ever officer won promotion, Gen.
Funston has won his by sheer hard
work, self-sacrifice, extraordinary
bravery and brilliant ability. There
is no element Of chance in the case OF
Gen. Funston. No mere luck. 1t is all
due to his own unaIded effort and
merit that in three short years he has
elevated himself from a mere filibuster
an unframed, adventurous soldier of
fortune-in Cuba with Gomez, to be a
Brigadier General in the regular army
of the United States. "
1T is another proof Of the fact that
after all it is not training that makes
the soldier. In time of peace the out
put of our military academies is looked
upon with a sort of awe by the citizen.
Brilliant and faultless manoeuvres on
the parade ground are accepted as
guarantees of soldierly ability. A
great parsonage is this trained and
schooled Mars-in time of peace. But
in time of var when all the nation is
alive and every walk of life has it's
quota in the army, it is different. The
regular is still a great man and stands
at the head, but he has no longer a
monopoly. The man fresh from the
pillow, the counter, or the shop, for
whom he has q traditional and pro-
found contempt, is shoulder to shoulder
with him, proving himself as good and
often a better soldier.
Less of a machine than his trained
brother in arms from West Point he is
often freer and in emergencies acts on
original lines. He finds special use for
his daring and bravery and wins dis
tinction and promotion while the more
methodical soldier stands still.
There are scores of cases such as
that of Brigadier General Funston
plain Fred Funston three years ago.
By his incessant activity and~intrepid-
ity he has become a Brigadier General
while many who started with him fully
equipped from the United States Mil
tary Academy with all the technical
knowledge of a soldier a. their fingers
ends and bearing commissions as sec
ond lieutenants are still l~ieutenants.
To-day the g~rizzled soldier at the
head of the United States army is not
a graduate Of West Point.

well considered and able article from
Hon. ]. M. Mason on the subject of the
new corporation law passed at the last
session of the Legislature and the in
evitable effect it is bound to have, Is
already having, on capital. The new
statute is utterly ~indefensible and it is
safe to say will remain a law no long
err than the next session if the courts
do not decide it unconstitutional in
the meantime. Mr.. Mason's article
will be Of special interest to capitalists.

Rural MAIL Deliverr

Clarksburg Post
We hope that some of our public
officials will take up at once the
matter of establishing rural free mail
delivery routes from Clarkeburg.
Nearly every kind of business in the
city would be benefited and the
convenience would be greatly ap-
preciated by people residing in the
country. Government authorities say
these routes will be established
throughout this State, but why not
begin right here with the territory
surrounding ~Clarksburg? If some of
our public servants will urge the
proposition upon the department we
have no doubt but that this city
would oon see the establishment of
these routes.

The capitol annex will be a most
beautiful building, but it was erect
ed without the full consent Of the
people of West Virginia, and the peo-
pie are the sovereigns. When the
Legislature distinctly orders and acts,
with proper limitations, it is not
right for any set of men in executing
that order, to go beyond the limit.
Yet it is done in regard to every State
institution every year, and will be
until the people can take the matter
into their own hands.
