THE MICROBE OF GRAFT.
Thrives Best in Corporations Where
the RakeoR is Rich.


The microbe of graft thrlves especially
In corporations, public and business. A few
are, indeed, immune against it, but these
are rare exceptions. Nearly all are ex-
ceedingly susceptible to the growth OF the
microbe, and once let it obtain secure
Judgment In the body of the corporation, a
loathsome and often deadly disease surely
follows. The best cure ia exposure to the
light. There is no certain way, however,
OF preventing the disease. though various
methods of quarantine have been estab-
lished against it,
The microbe thrives in any kind of n
corporation, but Is most prolific in those
which represent vast financial power
lodged In the hands OF few individuals
who feel no due sense of obligation to
anybody. The corporation that is cor
trolled by a man who regards it as my"
corporation, and its business as private
business, affords most fertile ground for
the spread Of graft. When a fnancier
handling immense sums of other peoples
money gets to the point of regarding his
trusteeship as private" business 1t is
not long before he begins to think that
their money is my" money and then uses
1t in all sorts of scandalous ways for his
personal profit
When "a captain of industry" gets to
the point OF regarding the great railroad
or pubic utility as a private business" IL
does not take long for him to persuade
himself that anything he may do is right
and that the public, or the government
representing the public. has no right to
interfere in his affairs" Thus is devel-
oped a condition of egotism that approaches
the vanity of czars and kings, and of ir-
responsible power that leads naturally to
control of corporate property and business
for personal profit regardless OF the inter-
ests and the rights OF others. Great BUSH
ness carried on by corporations whose
powers are derived from the public cannot
| be private In any strict sense, nor can II
be my" business, 1t represents the in
vestments of hundreds, and perhaps tens
of thousands; its operations affects the
interests, 1t may be, OF millions, and it's
profits, especially If it be a public service
corporation, are derived from franchises
bestowed by legislatures and municipalities
or If a bank or insurance company, by
virtue OF certain privileges bestowed by
law. Such business is essentially public
and rightly subject to public supervision
and publicity, and when conducted the
microbe of graft can make slow progress.
| II thrives best and most rapidly develops
the cancer OF corruption in those corpora
| lions which are subject to one-man rule
and controlled on the principle that they
are private enterprises carried on for pri-
vate gain and in which the public has no
concern or rights.

DIRECTORS MUST DIRECT.
More Active Men, Fewer Dummies,
Needed on Boards.



The address Of the comptroller Of the
currency before the American Bankers as
ISOLATION gives his authoritative support Of
the assertion that the national banks are
exposed to the greatest danger from the
inside, and that no system of governmental
inspection or examination can prevent the
occasional footing Of bank by its trusted
officers In the course Of his remarks Mr.,
Ridgeley indicated the efficiency OF his
corps Of examiners, who he says can do
little until after the discovery has been
made that the banking laws have been
violated and some harm has been done to
stockholders or depositors, or both "A
good bank examiner does his whole duty
in the discovery Of such case It is not
reasonable to ask him to prevent it,"
The safety Of our financial institutions
and the proper execution OF all fiduciary
trusts lies, in the last analysis in the in
tegrity and financial skill Of those who
have oversight ION the inside" Business
is conducted upon the theory that men
are honest, and, compared with the trusts
which are honestly and ably executed the
lapses are few, and the sums lost infintesi-
NAL when measured by the enormous sums
which are faithfully administered by per-
sons who would remain inhexiblY faithful
and honest If there were no statutes pun
ishing those who criminally betray trusts.
No law can hold all trustees to their duty.
There Is no substitute for plain, old-fash-
Toned honesty on the part of those who
have charge of the funds in the banks or
otherwise. This is a truism, and its truth
is illustrated by many examples drawn
from the experience of the comptroller, the
official who watches and guards to the ex-
tent of his powers the vast national bank
ing system.
Mr.. Ridgely says that there has been a
determined effort to secure a more thor
ough cooperation between bank directors
and the official supervising authority He
suggests certain improvements in the sys-
tenn of supervision. He has imposed greater
responsibility on the directors by placing
them in direct communication with the
comptroller's office. Until recently critl-
cism from that Office OF the conduct of
bank was addressed to the president and
was, as a rule, answered by the president
or the cashier. This was a fatal course in
some instances. Directors remained iEno-
rant OF Irregularities, for a delinquent bank
president or cashier would not scruple to
withhold from the directorate knowledge
Of Irregularities for which he was respon-
sible. 1T was a common complaint of d.
rectors that they had not been notified
of things going on in the bank about which
the officers had been written repeatedly"
Now the directors are communicated with
personally by the comptroller. The new
plan has been in operation a short time,
but its good results are apparent in the
greater attention of directors to the details
of bank management

FRANCE THREATENS VENEZUELA

French warships are on the way to
dispatch says it is not desired there to
have the assembling of the vessels,
which will be at the island of Martin
ique taken as a menace. there can be
no doubt that It is threat to Venezuela.
1t announces plainly to the southern re-
public that unless France receives the
satisfaction demanded for the offense
against her diplomatic representative CO.
ercive measures will be taken, probably
a blockade of the ports of Venezuela.
The French government doubtless feels
that 1t has been sufficiently patient in
this matter and that the time has come
to show Castro that further trifiing will
not be tolerated. The Venezuelan presi-
dent has little regard for international
obligations. He seems to court trouble
and he has kept the country in contro-
versy with foreign nations ever since he
violently seized executive authority.
There is no question that he has given
France sore offense, but he has obsti-
nately refused to make any amend. He
may not do so even when France shall
have assembled her warships near Ven
ezuelan waters.
Will this prove to be another case for
the application of the Monroe doctrine?
Venezuela is not feeling altogether
friendly toward this country and per
haps would not ask it to intervene in
the trouble with France, but If such
request should be made our government
would very likely decline to interfere.
There can be no doubt that France, If
compelled to employ her warships to
bring Castro to terms, will respect the
spirit of the Monroe doctrine. She will
not attempt to take any Venezuelan ter
ritory. A peaceful blockade would not
be in violation of the doctrine and doubt
| less that is as far as France would go.
Certainly she will avoid anything that
might bring on an issue with the United
States and disturb the extremely cordial
relations between the two countries.
Venezuela needs a lesson in interna-
tional decency. Castro, whose will APP
pears to be law in the republic, needs to
be taught that he cannot ruthlessly dis
regard obligations universally recognized
and escape merited consequences. If he
forces France into administering such a
lesson no obstruction should be placed
in the way of her doing so.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP SOUTH.

Today President Roosevelt will start
on his southern trip which will occupy
the remainder Of the present month. He
is assured of n most cordial welcome by
the southern people, who have as great
an admiration Of Mr.. Roosevelt's char
acter and as high an appreciation of
what he has accomplished in statesman
ship and diplomacy as the people Of any
other section. The president is recog-
nlzed in the south, as elsewhere, as
man Of national sentiment and sympa-
tbies, desiring TO promote the interests
and welfare of the entire country, proud
Of the position of the United States
among the world powers and seeking in
all just and proper ways to maintain
that standing, The southern people, in
common with a great majority Of their
countrymen, like the courage and firm
ness with which Mr.. Roosevelt adheres
to the principles and policies which he
believes to be right and essential to the
public welfare. 1t is true there are
some in that section who have shown
displeasure with his attitude toward the
colored citizens, so far as concerns their
political rights, but there is reason to
think that this feeling is by no means
general.
The president should find much enjoy
ment from his southern trip. All the
cities he is to visit have made prepare
tions to properly receive and entertain
him. As the chief executive of the ma
ton he will be shown every courtesy
and consideration by state and munich
pal official and the great service he has
performed in the cause of international
peace will undoubtedly receive due rec
ognition. 1t is a good thing for the pres
ident to go among the people and talk
to them-to learn their sentiment and
feeling and to tell them of the aims and
purposes of those in authority. The eff
feet is enlightening to both, the people
are drawn closer to the government and
the tendency is to keep active the spirit
of loyalty and patriotism. Everybody
will earnestly wish that President
Roosevelt may find unalloyed pleasure
in his trip and return to the national
capital with renewed vigor for the ar
duous work which the meeting Of con-
gress will impose on him.
