HELP THE SCHOOL FUND.

''The school fund, too, comes in for a
share of the benefitsderived from his jul
dicial determinations and the officers have
little difficulty in collecting the judgments
imposed. The judge is far from being a
joker in the matter of inflcting punish
ment upon an offender, which is always
done in accordance with the gravity of the
case. The law is his interpreter in al
matters
Thus comments the Hendersonville
Hustler on Judge Shaw who is holding
court in Henderson county. There has
been much too lax a system with reference
to fines and too many cases are suspend
ed upon payment of costs" No man
ought to be fined for the purpose of help
ing the school fund, but when the law
has been violated no judge has a right tC
rob the school fund by remitting or fail
ing to impose a fine that is contemplated
''The law is his interpreter" That is
what the people expect. IF fines had al
ways been as large as they should have
been, the school fund would have been
largely increased.

MINORITY CONTROL.

The Wall Street Journal has AS lead
ing editorial a treatment of four ways
in which a minority interest may con,
troll a corporation:
I. 1t may be large enough and represent
such character and ability as TO attract
to itself the support of other holders
of stock so as to really control. The
vast majority of railroads are controlled
in this way.
g. To practice the device established by
the capitalists in control of the Rock Is
land. The Rock Island system was pyra.
nided upon. The inverted apex of the
Rock Island Company, with the provis
ion in it's charter that a majority of the
preferred stock of about SAT ,000, 900 should
always elect majority of the board OF
directors. Thus the holders of about $24,-
100000 of preferred stock elect seven out
OF the thirteen directors of this company,
which controls one of the three largest
railroad systems in the world.
g. The Northern Securities plan, or the
plan of the Pennsylvania which owns
$500, 000, 900 in sother corporations.
A Through the voting trust. Mr.. Nor
gan, who became so prominent in the
reorganization of many of the large sys-
tens which number of years ago de-
faulted on their interest, was the first to
apply the voting trust idea in an extern
sive way, and it is of interest to note
that he not only used the voting trust
III some of the railroads in which he be-
came interested, but he also established
it, with himself as one of the trustees,
in the reorganization of Harper & Bros.
1t was he who established the voting
trusts in Southern Railway, Reading and
in Erie.
These are the four ways that prevail
in Wall Street, There is fifth way
the one recently put into practice in
North Carolina. 1t is this way: Get a
Spectator in New York to buy or bar
gaiL for few shares of stock in a sol
vent railroad, have his confederate to
offer to lease the road, then get Fed
eral judge who will make the applicant
for the lease receiver of the road, and
then inform the owners that the receiver
shir will be declared off lin jiffy'' if
the owners will submit to the terms of
those who have conspired to rule or
ruin" This is the newest, and most revo-
lutionary method of minority rule yet
put in operation. Under this new buc-
caneering method all that is necessary is
for one who hasn't dollar invested to
bid for lease, confederate to buy
one share out of / ,79O shares, some law
yers to draw up high sounding applica-
tions, and Federal judge to make the
order, 1t is the simplest and cheapest
Elan for complete minority control ever
devised, and the men putting it in opera
tion can live on the property while try
ing to rule 1t or wreck it. AS to the ma
jority owners, they havnt as much to do
with property they have paid for as
Democrat has chance to be elected
Governor in Vermont or Republican

Judge Simonton will recover by March

I may be angry with a man who might

spent his life In making mock flowers out
of wax and paper; but when a man who
might have God for company shuts up
and disowns those very doors of his ma

lives the emptied life which every man
lives who lives without God, his loss is
Itoo dreadful to be angry with. You
merely mourn for him and long and try

To him the Bible appears merely as a

Of the unknown and the unknowable. Yet
we who believe know there are passages

that its ideals of morality are those to
which the best within us is always aspir-
