ILLEGAL CORPORATIONS.
President's Action in Enforcing Law
ARatust Them.

President's Action in Enforcing Lave
Axatnst Them.
(Northwestcrn Christian Advocate, Sept. co.
In holding large corporations to strict
accountability to the law the President
is serving the best interests of those
corporations rs well as conserving the
welfare of the country. All corporations
which are operating oil an unlawful basis
should be compelled to conform to the
law. II they cannot or will not they
should go out OF business. This, some
have been forced by the lawlcss conduct
of their promoters and operators to do,
to the great loss OF their stockholders.
Many formerly wealthy men are now
broken in fortune because corporations
with which they were connected were
formed and operated in violation Of law.
The action of the President in enforc-
ing the law would prevent, not promote,
such losses.
One OF the crying needs Of America
to-day is such respect for the laws of
the nation as the President has shown.
He did not make the laws, but it Is his
duty to obey them. He has set an ex-
ample which every citizen should follow.
Ii that be done, we shall hear no more
OF mobs breaking into jnils, defying po-
lice and militia. and hanging or burning
prisoners suspected or convicted of
crime. and burning property in wild
frenzy of disorder and lawlessness.

The best of all markets for American
manufacturers and farmers is the home
market. The internal commerce of the
United States aggregates each year more
than S23, ,OOO,OOO and is far greater
than the international commerce of all
the world. This vast market is at our

should we surrender it to foreigners, as

would do. and pay to foreign manufac-

room in that structure. The new portion

practically the same height as the present

keep pace with that of the country: but
