Public and Private Ownership.

a seat; in New York one in three is lucky

Grated cars in Great Britain provide-and

a larger fare the private monopoly here
provides ride without seat. One gives

HUMANITY.

Managers Have Hearts.
Brooklyn Eagle.
It has passed into'ea proverb that cor
.porations have no souls. Fortunately. the
men who manage corporations often have
hearts. The news item which tells how
the St. Paul railroad ran a special train
100 miles to carry to a surgeon brake
man who had his foot cut on is at least
suggestive. We do not imagine that the
superintendent who ordered this action viii
be a candidate for a lAe-savers medal. and
we have no idea that the president Of the
road who will approve the course taken
will expect vote OF thanks from the union
TO which the brakeman belonged. They
viii no more seek TO star their generosity
than do the mine-oW'ning corporation man

dispensation OF Providence. and Il takes

Every generalization Is false" said a
witty Frenchman. adding, after a pause.
"even this one" Corporations have no
souls. A manager of corporation property
Is trustee who can only be generous
with other peoples money. Therefore. the
inhumanity OF corporations must exceed
that Of Nero who had moments OF pity;
and OF Caligula. who sometimes relieved
distress. Reason that way. as far as you
like. and your generalization is false.
Stockholders are men. Directors are men.
Managers and superintendents and foremen
are men. They have indignation TO be
stirred; scorn to be aroused. tears to be
shed. And when the emergency comes, and
the lives OF the humblest employees are in
peril. the news nies OF American news
papers will show that corporations are very.
