WILL TEST ROAD AND BRIDGE Law
Probability That Attorney General
will Regard it Invalid.

Attorney General Young, in an
opinion to be given shortly, will de.
clare the 5000, 900 road and bridge law
passed by the last legislature to be in
violation of the constitution. An in.
formal statement to this effect has
been made by persons intesested and
close to Mr.. Young.
In anticipation of the opinion, State
Auditor Iverson, who has the distri-
button of the fund, made formal appli-
cation for the opinion Monday, and he
expects the answer in few days. It
follows on an application from Kilt
son county, which has just built a
bridge and wants the state aid the law
entities it to.
The new law provides for the distri-
button of 100000 a year, from the
state revenue fund among the counties
for road and bridge improvements and
it is here that the unconstitutional

Every corporation is personally
directed by some one dominant person,
or by some group of persons. Some
body, in particular, is responsible for
ordering or sanctioning every illegal
act committed by its agents or officers
but neither our law of personal dam
age nor our criminal law has sought
to seek the responsible persons out

acts complained of.
tive have never attempted such
statutes. We indict corporations
themselves, find them guilty of illegal
practices, fine them, and leave the in
dividuals who devise and execute the
illegal acts free to discover new eva
siOns.
'sSuch acts should be passed and
enforced if we are to better our in.
dustrial conditions. Unless some
thing of this nature is done, and done
quickly, socialism will result.
'sIt is only in this way that We ear
escape socialism. Unless we car
single out the individual again and
make him once moresthe subject AND
object of the law, we shall have to
travel still further upon the road Of
government regulation, which we have
already travelled so far, and that road
leads to state ownership.

Rudyard .Kipling undoubtedly got
his wit from his maternal grandfather,
the Rev. George B. Macdonald, a
Wesleyan clergyman. In the days
when young Macdonald was counting
the lady whom he afterward married,
the father-in-law to bean aged
Methodist with extremely strict no
lions in regard to the prophecies
was injudicious enough on one oeea-
sion to enter the parler without giving
any warning Of his approach. The
consequence was that he found the
sweethearts occupying single chair.
Deeply shocked by this spectacle, the
old man solemHly said: 'sMr. Mac.
donald, when courted Mrs. Brown
she sat on one side of the room and I
on the other.'' Macdonald's reply
was: ssThat's what I should have
done if I had been counting Mrs.
Brown. Cleveland Leader.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE
IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

its becoming the master of humanity.
The country is in q crucial age.-
Great business combinations have
grown up suddenly, accompanied pF
many abuses, and. have spread deeply
into the body. of the nation the roofs
by which they feed. To tear them ous'
by the roots is to seriouly in]nre, u
not to kill. Yet they must be con
trollea; they must be made to minister
to. the greatest good of the greatest
NUMBER They must not be permitte6
to yield the fruits of4great wealth Tor
the few, and great, poverty Tor the
many.
The fight is not, so much against
these gigantic combinations OF capltai
as it is against the corrupt Methods
that some of them.have used. It is not
so much against the saving in cost OF
production thas' they have brought
about, but against their policy OF
diverting the profits ofthis saving IN
to- the hands Of fewwithout giving
the people at large a share OF tne~
benefit.
The need of broaa-minded leaders,
to. wage this fight for the best inter
ests OF the country. and,its people; the
need of a vast army, efivolunteers to-
follow prayerfully and understanding
ly the directions ofthese leaders; the.
need of the patriotism that will make
the country's- needs rise superior to.
prejudice and partisanship these
needs are greater than any the nation
has ever felt before, since the days OF
it's first fight for freedom.
For now another fight for freedom
is being waged-a fight for freedom

SIT is just as absurd to indict or
dissolve corporations for ofenses
against the public as it would be to
arrest and coniscate automobiles be-
cause their owners killed pedestrians.
In these words President Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton University pays
his respects to the present manner of
dealing with violations of the law on
the part of the corporate interests.
Continuing along these lines he says:
Individual accountability for the
acts of corporations, the arrest and
imprisonment of corporations heads,
instead of the fneing or dissolution
of corporations themselves, is the
remedy for the monopolistic tendencies
and the unlawful practices of modern
industries.
Zone really responsible man in Jail,
one real originator of the schemes and
transactions, which are contrary to
the public interest, legally lodged in
the penitentiary, would be worth more
than a thousand corporations mulcted
in fines, if the reform is to be genuine
and permanent.

nWhy all this bother about stimu-
1ating patriotism on every possible
occasion, when we have no call to go
to battle for our country?" asks q
correspondent.
Why? Because there is call to go
to battle for your country every hour
Of every day.
The battles where shot and she'll
and sword are the weapons, and where
human lives are the sacrifices, are not
the only fights TO be waged for the
country, nor is war the only condition
that calls for patriotism.
It takes just as much patriotism,
just as much fervid public spirit, and
just as great love ofcountry to fight
the battles of peace as it does to fight
the battles of war.
There is just as great a call for
volunteers today to enlist in the cause
of country as there was in 1861, and a
far greater call than there was in 1898.
The enemy OF today is just as power
full and far more to be feared than the
enemies of 1861 and of 1898.
For the call for patriotic volunteers
today is not to go out upon the battle
field and risk wounds and death, but
to stay right at home and work and
vote for good, clean government IN
nation, state and city.
It is to fight the encroachmepts OF
corporate greed and capitalized bri-
gandry that volunteers are needed; to
raise humanity to its proper level OF
consideration and to sink property
and swollen wealth to the level on
which they belong. The aim should
be to make property the servant and
handmaiden of man, and to prevent

COTTON CLOSES 2
 ID ID POINTS OFF Cables Are Firmer Than Were
 Expected BIG HOUSTON ESTIMATES
The Opening Is Steady at an Advance of 4 to Points on Reports of
 Less Favorable Weather.

New York April 9.-The cotton market was quiet but irregular during today's session with the close easy at net de- cline of 5 to points. Sales were esti- mated at 75,o0O bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 4 to 2 points and shortly afterwards the active months were to s points higher on firmer cables than expected and reports of less favorable weather in the south owing to low temperatures which were accompanied by frost in the central belt and light precipitations in the east ern belt.
 The liberal estimate for tomorrow's re- ceipts at Houston was followed by in- creased offerings, however, as the trade seemed to place little stress on the talk of unfavorable weather and during the middle session the market ruled dull at about closing figures of late the previous day. Later there was some selling of May and rumors that the bulls were un- loading which started more general pres sure against the market and eased prices off to the low point at the close. The first weekly report of the weather bureau for the season was published at midday but had no influence on the market. Private cables from Liverpool attributed the advance there to American buying on less favorable crop reports. The Brit ish board of trade returns for March showed smaller exports of cotton goods from the United Kingdom than last year. But there was rumor that 0O00 pieces of print cloths had been sold at Fall River at an advance of A cent. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged. Receipts at the ports today, 19964 bales against 2s,959 last week and 269O5 last year. For the week, 5000 bales, against no,127 last week and 115.676 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 2S91 bales, against 7656 last year, and at Houston, 1912 bales, against 566S last year.

PROFESSIONALS IN CONTROL OF STOCKS Transactions Are Congested in
 Few Securities ADVANCE AND REACTION The Market Lacks Breadth and Com plaints Come From Commission
 Houses of Small Outside
 Participation.

New York, August 9.-The character of the operations in stocks today continued to suggest the dominance of professionals In the dealings. Transactions were con- cluded with signs of organizations and concert, and were largely congested in few stocks, usually favorites in such op- erations. The market lacked breadth and complaints from the commission houses that there was a small general participa- tion in the market. The market was much the same as that of yesterday ex- cept that the advance came first, followed by reaction.
 The return to near the starting point after considerable fluctuations was the same in both cases. The stocks which were of most influence in the leadership of the early advances were subject to special influence largely in the shape of uninformed conjectures. American Smelt- ing was active, and responded very readily to the assertion that 10 per cent advance had been decided on No author ity could be found for the report. The movement in Canadian Pacific was at- tributed to a fresh turn against the short
 
 also of the continued downward tendency in money rates, both here and abroad. Discount rates declined in London, Paris and Berlin, and cabled advices from Lon- don were of a general expectation that the Bank of England would reduce it's of- ficial discount rate this week. The Inn peral Bank of Germany made it's weekly return and showed moderate recuperation from the severe strain of the April set dement's, recovering $11,OOO,OOO of the pre- vious weeks loss of $35, ,600,00O in cash, while 29,S5OO0O of the $69, ,00o credit ex- tension of the week before was repaid Ind $S4 O55, COG of the $94. .915,000 note exten, sion of that period was recalled. Individ- ual stocks continued to be sold here for foreign account, and the opening of new account in London stock market re- vealed small commitments in American securities, notwithstanding the low carry ing rates.
 Some effect on sentiment was produced by the reports of pending note issue by the Delaware and Hudson, suggesting the Likelihood of a general resumption of this form to follow any additional supplies to banking resources. The later weakness of the market was aggravated by reports from Washington that the deposit of cus- toms receipts with the banks was to be discontinued for the present. and also that proceedings would be had to compel E. H. Hartman to answer questions to which he refused to reply at the interstate com merce commission hearing. The closing tone was easy. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, si,SsS,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

July went as high as 10 39 after which trading eased off somewhat as a result of profit taking.
