The Morals of the Respectable.

The methods OF the respectable
business classes in America today in
clude such practices as this: Certain
men among the directors of great
corporation organize a new corpora
ton to construct Or operate, or to buy
and sell, and then, as directors of the
parent corporation, make bargains
with themselves as directors of subsid-
larry corporation whereby enormous
profits are diverted into their private
Golfers. While holding Office in the
directorate of one corporation they
accept positions in the directorates of
many other corporations, sometimes
for the purpose of evading laws
against combinations or pooling ar
engagements, and always for the pur-
pose of obtaining inside information
that will enable themselves as individ-
uals:to :'sell short" or take other ad-
vantage OF any approaching turn in
the stock market. AS promoters they
work up interests in half-civilized
lands, not expecting, like straight
forward and courageous men, to make
the best of any misfortunes that may
fall to their lot while taking risks,
but expecting through any kind of
misrepresentation or fraud to secure
the backing of their national govern
ment and to commit the people of a
great nation to policy which may
have in it no element of righteousness
and every element of national dis
honor and misfortune. These things
business men do, and, what is more.
when taken to task for them, they
openly defend them as both necessary
and right under modern industrial
conditions.
Innumerable great scandals exist
under these conditions, and sooner or
later they are publicly exposed: Then
the worst and most hypocritical phase
OF the morals of the respectable is re-
vealed. The yellow journals, the
'populist" organs, the "socialistic
elements are the first to make charges
and to-, demand fuller Investigations.
Then the whole respectable contingent
rises in righteous indignation and
swears that the charges are infamous.
Unhappily. in practically every case,
they turn out to be true. The revela-
tions of Erie years ago, the scandal
act of the Broadway street car fran
chise, the story of Standard oil have
been more than paralleled by the ex-
posture of the doings of the gas mon
opoly and the practices of the Equit-
able Life Insurance company.
Two questions are germane: What
do our respectable business men ex-
pect in the long run to achieve: Do
they imagine that in the face of popu-
lar indignation and an increasing
Suspicion they can continue such

Some Fool Liar Broke Loose.

Last Fridays Pioneer Press con-
tanned what purported to be special
dispatch from Foreston, stating that
James Hunter of that place, had been
arrested and was in the hands of the
sheriff of Mile Laos county. charged
with criminal carelessness which
caused the recent dynamite explosion
which wrecked his house. The dis
patch stated that the grand jury would
take up the case this week. If such a
dispatch was sent the sender should
be caught and hung up by the thumbs
awhile. There has been no thought
OF preferring charges against Mr..
Hunter and the dispatch was the work
Of some one with ghoulish propensities.

To Prepare Boy for the Penitenttarv

To Prepare a Boy for the Penttentfary.
From country newspaper in Mis-
souri, comes the following helpful sug-
gestions on how to prepare boy for
the penitentiary: ''When he does not
want to go to school let him loaf the
street. When he gets into mischief and
your neighbor reports it to you, curse
your neighbor in the presence of your
boy. When he gets little larger
and parloins something of value and
you find it out, just laugh at him and
let it go. When he does something
that calls him into the justice court
and he is found guilty, pay the fine,
curse the court, the jury, and every
one connected with the matter, and
pity the boy. By adhering to this
policy on all occasions, you will,
after few years, have splendid can
didate for the penitentiary.''

DEATH OF HERBERT SANBORN.
Another Minnesota Boy Pays the Penalty
of Service in the Philippines.

of Service in the Philippines,
Herbert Sanborn died at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Arson Howard in
this village at $3.50 O'Clock a. M, last
Monday, of consumption. He enlisted
for service in the Philippines when
about twenty-one years of age and
served there three years. The climate
did not agree with him and his health
was impaired at the time of his dis
charge. Upon being discharged he
came back to the United States and
spent about two years in California,
and came to Princeton last summer,
since which time he has made his
home with his uncle, Arson Howard.
He applied for pension which was
allowed about six weeks before his
death.
William Herbert Sanborn was the
son of William S. and Florence San
born and was born in the town of
Baldwin, Sherburne county on the
10th day OF May, 1878. He was not
married. His father and two sisters
passed away before him and he was
the last child Of the family. His
mother, whose maiden name was Flor
ence Howard, survives him.
The funeral was held from the home
Of Arson Howard at O'Clock D. m,

THE SOLDIER DEAD.
With Words of Love and Songs of
Praise, Flowers Will be Strewn
on Soldiers Graves.
The North, the South, the East, the
West, United Now, Have
Called Them Blest.

Thin grow the ranks. Each veteran now
Has silver locks around his brow,
And slow and measured tread.
Dim are his eyes once keen and bright,
And frail his arm, that in the fight
Was strong where duty led.
On Tuesday, May 30, the surviving
veterans of the civil war will honor
the memory of the heroes who have
gone before. In their ceremonies they
will be joined by millions who will
wish to show their appreciation of the
gallant services of the dead soldiers.
It is fitting that work should be sus-
pended for few hours on one day in
each year that the cause of these SER
vices may be wildly impressed on the
memory of the younger generation,
few of whom can more than dimly
realize the true import of the eventful
times forty-four years ago. History
recounts the glorious deeds Of those
who gave their lives for the preserva-
ton of the Union but their deeds
would seem dim and distant to those
who have no personal recollection of
them if we relied solely on the written
pages. To impress these deeds upon
the minds of the young people of the
nation, as we'll as, to show our own
appreciation Of Them, let US all unite
with the Grand Army of the Republic

Day. A program has been arranged
