Cvrp oration and the Law.

Corporations are creatures OF
law. No creature can be greater
than lis creator. Laws are madC
by the people for tho protection ot
The people. The corporation thai
violates law should be punished,
not by Imprisonment, moi by fine,
bat by the ending OF its corporate
life through the revocation Of the
franchise giving it legal existence.
There is 40 more reason why Il
corporation should violate Law
than there is why an iDdivid-
nal should violate law. There
is no more reason why cor
poration should not become in
terestcd in roIiiical questions af-
fecting the life OF that corporation
than there is why an individual
should not become interested in
politics affecting the individual.
No stream cnn rise higher than its
source, and the source Of all laws
rests in the vCter Of the Iecp!e.
Corporate influence cannot corrupt
al Incorruptabe man. Corrupt
men receive pay for granting fran
chi5es to corporations that should
never be granted! Under orr
| system Of government The !l@a Of
incorporation are necessary. No
indiyi lual, no set CT partners,
would furnish the money to finance
! the giant institutions that have
grown up, step BY step, with the
growth of this country. Corpora
tlons are creatures made by law TO
protect the individual from loss Of
a greater sum thar, the individual
pledge in corporate enterprise.

Idleness and laWbreaking.

Easy money" mania that led to
murder has sent 19-year-old st.
Louis boy to life Imprisonment.
This life of shiftless existancc and
its inevitable consequences may be
taken to heart by the young men
of vagrant tendencies. His number
seems to be increasing in this city,
to Judge by the youth of - per
cent Of the culprits arraigned in
St. Lonis courts on charges of
pocket-picking, purse snatching
house-breaklng and other offenses
against the law.
The sentence imposed on the 10
year old murderer is an abstract
commentary on the conditions that
encourage crime. What is wrong
with American cities that they
permit their youth to contribute
only nineteen years of their lives
to society, and, at that, years that
end at a permanent public expense
At the bottom Of the whole sorry
fabric is this growing idea of,
"What's the use of working when
it's easier to be idIe?'
If compulsory education of chill
dren is right, compulsory work
for the youth who has not reached
the majority age might not be IN
reasonable when he either will not
study or is prevented, by circum
stances, from getting an educa-
ton. There should be DO such
thing as enforced idIeness. The
idIer who is incompetent might be
compelled to give his time without
compensation to common labor in
the service of public Improvement
for which the American community
is now spending the money Of tbs
hard working part of its popula
ton. The human shark who i,

though the race may be slow, the
saloon creeps on with the impel!-
ing force of the liquor traffic be-
hind it until the public parks and

slowly and surely paving the way

The good judgment Of the vot-
ers of this county should bring
them to the support of the court
house bond issue without equivo-
cation. The court house must be
built aud, as matter of economy,
in which the obiectors to the bond
issue pretend to be most interest
ed, it should be built quickly. If
the bond proposition should be de-
feated it would only mean another
election in the course Of short
time, and each time the matter
goes before the people it means an
expenditure of six or eight hun
dred dollars. The county records
are not proof against destruction
by fire in their present location
and the county officials have their
quarters scattered about town in
