fore, become difficult to place respon-
slbility for III doing where 1t belongs,
and men who would be ashamed to
stoop to wrong practices in the open

a corporation or trust. So argues Sec.
retary Garfield in a recent speech de,

advocates strongly therefore public.
lty of all large business enterprises
50 that the light of public opinion
may freely search out the details of
corporation management.
The idea is notify any means new
one, but Secretary Garfield Is Droba-
bly, right. In Its very nature the cor
poration itself is the essential thing
and the individual an incident. The
management may change, but the pol.
fey remains the same. and managers
are prone to hide their personality be.
hind that of the corporation they di-
rect. And because of this fact, this
lessening of personal responsibility,
men stoop to practices which they
may condemn aud which they would
not resort to in other circumstances.
Doubtless for the remedy of this evil
is highly desirable. BY pub.
lefty Secretary Garfield means, of
course, publicity of an official charac-
ter, such as would be given in reports
complied and issued by some compe-
tent government authority.

EAIRMoNT MEN GAIN NoToRIETY
BY MAKING OFFER OF FREE
LOT.

The Kankakee, Illinois, papers are
publishing a good story concerning an
occurrence which just took place and
in which two well known local men
figured. Here is the story:
All the priceless jewels of the Or
lent, the precious metals OF the Klon'
dyke, the money of Wall street, yes,
and not even lot in Hobbie Heights
subdivision, could induce Thomas
Duncan to postpone his marriage to
Miss Emma Ducharme, of Bradley,
FIVE days.
No one offered Duncan any jewels,
gold or money, but he did have the
opportunity to demonstrate to his
fance, the worth of his love by re.
fusing to postpone the marriage cere.
mony, with lot in Hobble Heights, Of.
fered as reason.
This morning Duncan and Miss
Ducharme, Bradley girl, 10 years old,
and pretty, iourneyed to the court
house and secured marriage license.
Upon their return to the business dis.
trict they found the office of Justice
Tracy where specially is made Of
nuptlal knots.
1t was just the place they were
looking for and Duncan and his girl
entered the Office and asked to be
married as soon as possible.

both interested in the coming auction
sale Of the Hobbie Heights sub.divi.

time aud Prichard, who by the way, is
an advertising man and always on the
lookout for the novel, took advantage
Of the Duncan announcement.
SAY" said Prichard, "if you post
pcne that marriage until next Tues.
day and then get married in Hobbie
Heights, I'll give you lot"
Duncan was slightly taken back with
surprise, but he recovered in an in
slant.
mo, sir, I cannot accept your pro.
posal. We have planned the marriage
to take place to-day and we shall not
postpone it now"
"Not even for a lot'" urged Prich'
ard.

It he looked at his bride, who by the

rather than be without her five days.
They were married and Prichard
