Jim Kupihes is claimed to have
said that all the members OF the
notorious rsd-shirted brigade are
willing to testify that they were Re-
publicaus and that it was at their
own desire that they went to the
polls ia q body as an organized
semi military body. He thinks that
that will save him, but we very
much doubt it.

At last the Territorial grand jury
has indicted "big Jim" Kupihea, the
leader of the red-shirted brigade
notorious on election day and the
days following, for an iufraetion OF
the election law. This is exactly
what it should be, an example for
the benefits of others. But he's not
the only one, a small fry; there are
others and much bigger game at
at that.

HOSTILITY TOWARD CORPORA
TIONS.

The Manufacturers Record of the
18th instant quotes from the annual re-
port of President Taylor, of the Will
minston chamber of on the
subject Of industrial developments in
this section and the conditions which
initiate against them and says by way
of comment:
He added that there was manifest
in the community a disposition on the
part of certain individuals to harass
corpora tons. and, as was commonly
reputed, to bring suits on contingent
fees resulting in expensive litigation to
defendants. He urged that the COM
munity's duty was to discourage this dis
position, m as capital would not
seek a location where such injurious
and unjustifiable practice obtains. The
public have he said, the matter in
their own hands, for obviously contin-
gent fees are not a very reliable re-
source
That is an excellent suggestion.
which should be put in practice wherev-
er the shyster is giving a standing in the
courts. The libertv allowed many at
torneys, who are really officers Of the
courts, would il attempted by the lay
man, be properly held to be contempt
of court. Communities suffering fro n
shysterism in high or low degree should
develop a public sentiment that would
forbid a court to ubInit to contempt
frCm its own officers. With the devel-
opraent Of that sentiment would speedi-
~ OH a reduction to the minimum of
suits against corporations on the con-
t:nSent fee basis"
That the Inauguration of new enter
crises in this state is hindered by the
attitude of many of our people toward
corporations cannot be denied. There
are too many lawyers who are ever
ready to bring suit for damages against
corporations for any kind of an acct
dent. We do not mean to oppose the
taking of contingent fees by lawyers.
That has become a legitimate feature
of the practice. but we do say that
lawyers who work up damage suits
against corporations should be frowned
down by the better element in the pro-
fession.
Capital realizes this condition of af-
fairs and is for this reason shy about in
vestigating where such state Of feeling
exists.
We know it to be a fact that not very
long ago a very important enterprise
contemplated for this section of the
state was given up because the persons
who were thinking about getting It up
were unwilling to put their money into
a corporation under the laws and court
rulings of this state. The contemplated
concern would ave been of great Pc
cuniary benefit to Wilmington. But
about the time the enterprise was un-
der contemplation there was a flood of
damage suits against corporations in
this section and the men at the head
of the proposed movement were driven.
on by fear Of lack of appreciation by
the people and a rush OF damage suits
on trivial p~retexts against the orpora-
ton. So they abandoned the scheme.
