THE SOMERSET RAILROAD
Lumber Line Now Building Deep in
Woods.

Wilmington, Sept D. Construction
work on the Deerfeld River railroad
has reached point near the Fegan
place in Somerset about mile above
the Farm and within about three
miles of the temporary terminus for
the year. A new camp has just been
established in this vicinity for the en-
gineers and right-of.way gang, making
the fourth camp now in operation.
Down at the "White barn" is the
headquarters of crew of about 30 men;
at the Roberts place near the conflu-
ence OF the east and west branches of
the Deerfeld some Is workmen are en-
camped and at the Tudor mill in Som
erset the largest crew of all, about 100
men, is located -
Rails have been laid some distance
above the covered bridge in Searsburg
and gangs of men are busy putting
down the iron and gravel ballasting
the railroad on the lower section. The
iron bridge on which the rails are to
cross the Deerfield near the white
barn" has arrived and the abutments
are ready for it.
From present Indications the road
will be in full operation over the mile
age originally planned for this year,
before the heavy SHOWS come to make
logging operations practicable. Next
year construction operations will be
resumed early and the building OF the
road continued to the final terminal in
the town of Manchester.

dead AND BURIED"

(From the Springfield, Mass, Repub-
lican.)
With all of the profound eXplana-
tons of Mr. Bryan's renascense as
a political force, there are many who
persist in saying that this is lone
of the devils own incomprehensibles.
There is nothing to be said which can

debtors, of selfish silver owners, Of
pelf-seeking politicians, of DIRECTORS to
law and order and the sanctity of the
supreme judiciary" who followed that
Jack O'Lantern light of a man void
of understanding"
These sober judgments were almost
universal, and they were delivered so
recently that there is no American
voter who finds himself startled in
reading them once more The quaint
lesson they teach today is that of all
our public men the dead and buried"
one may be SO full of life that no
grave can hold him. Mr.. Bryan's pres
idential prospects need not concern
us; they are highly uncertain. But
the present situation at least is one
of the most instructive in our political
history concerning the possible long
evity of public career. From the
dead and buried" viewpoint, we have
nothing in our annals to match Mr..
Bryan.

From their point of view, Bryan seems
to have been raised from the dead
The amaZement of these astOunded
people can be the better understood
by recalling the final judgments that
were passed upon the twice-defeated
leader, in the press, after the presi
Dental election of 1900 If ever il
seemed opportune and fitting and alb
solutely safe to entomb a public man
with an appropriate epitaph, the time
was Immediately after the second
great defeat. AS last tribute of eS
TEEN, a professor of the university
of Pennsylvania, in the following win
ter examined the press of the country
and made a collection of the opinions
on Bryan of the representative news
papers. The professor must have
| thought his labor of value chiefly as q
piece of obscure grubbing in contem
porary history which might prove Of
interest a decade or a generation later
to students of the Bryan era. He
could not have supposed that within
five years these same opinions could
be reprinted as a demonstration OF
the utter blindness of political writers
to the course of events and to the
changes in public opinion in the i'm
mediate future.
The professors collection is al
hand, and, in view of the New York
reception to Mr.. Bryan the last of the
present week, it is more than instruc
tive, it is positively entertaining tC

appeal TO the people is worthy or
praise:
I'VE have the same interest in good
government as has any other citizen
and the same right to display that in
terest. AS the largest corporation in
the state and the largest taxpayer we
have vital interest iii sane and con-
sentative legislation-and when (as
has too often been the case) there
is danger that the state will be swept
off it's feet by appeal to passion and
prejudice made by designing dema-
gogues for their own personal ends,
it becomes a duty to oppose those
men, by fair and legal means-in such
cases, and in such cases only, will
the Santa Fee be found in politics. In
dividual employees are unrestricted;
they may hold and express such views
as they think proper, but their action
is not to be taken as that of the COM
pany, nor is the latter responsible for
their political opinions or utterances.
This is a clever way of presenting
the corporation as legitimate factor
in politics largest taxpayer of
state But it cannot justify the con-
clusion as to the political privileges
of corporations. This is where tax
alton involves no right whatsoever of
representation We are speaking now
of private corporations and not of the
persons or interests represented. 1t
has been said of the corporation that
'its personality is an abstract concep-
ton of the intellect, unassociated with
that of the persons from whom it is
created. and it's existence is ideal
only" and to admit an abstract con-
ception" to the standing in politics
of a natural person is hardly to be
defended. If the corporation may
legitimately. mix in politics, then it
is entitled to the right to vote; and if
entitled to the right to vote it should
be stripped of it's limited liability and
exposed to the equivalents of the liza
bilities of natural persons such as i'm
prisonment or complete suspension of
all industrial functions for it's own
profit, service in war, and SO on.
The corporation may fairly claim
right to be heard before legislative
bodies, but beyond this it may fairly
claim nothing in politics. 1t must
look for political protection and con-
sideration to the natural persons
whose interests are bound up in it,
and they have usually proved quite
sufficient in this respect for all rea-
sonable purposes. Mr.. Ripley's con-
tention would justify corporation Cam
paign contributions, but the common
sense of people has been quick to dis
Germ the improperly of such course
and to pass upon it a general con-
domination.
The corporations must get out OF
politics and stay out. 1t is enough
that they may find representation in
politics by the natural persons COM
posing them, acting as individuals but
in the light of their corporate in
terests.
