ages nor our CIlmludl law mas
sought to seek out the respons-
ible persons and hold them indi-
vidually responsible for the acts
complained of.
''It would require a careful
hand and a minute knowledge of
existing business conditions to
draw the law, but statutes could
oblige every corporation to make
such public analysis OF it's orga-
nization as would enable both
private individuals and officers
of the law to fix legal respons-
Utility upon the right person.
We have never attempted such
statutes. We indict corporations
themselves, find them guilty of
illegal practises, fine them, and
leave the individuals who devised
and executed the illegal acts free
to discover new evasions and shape
the policy of the corporations to
practises not yet covered by the
prohibitions of the law. We COM
plain that directors are too often
mere names upon the list, and that
even when they attend the meetings
of the boards to which they belong
they give no real heed to what is
done, and allow some committee
to have its way unquestioned; and
yet the law could easily make them
responsible, personally and indi-
vidually responsible, to any extent
it chose, for acts which their votes
authorized, and could thereby
change their nominal participation
in the affairs of the corporation
they pretend to govern into real
participation and watchful over
sight. Let every corporation ex-
actly define the obligations and
powers of its directors, and of its
several officers and managers, then
let the law fix responsibility upon
them accordingly.
SIN order to clear the air of un-
just suspicion, give credit where
credit is due, condemnation where
condemnation, let us set ourselves
to work to single out individuals
and fix personal responsibility, and
We shall both tighten the difficulty
of government and make new
platform of life. Governmental
supervision there must be; not the
kind that seeks to determine the
process of business, but the kind
that brings home to individuals the
obligations Of law.
"It would be happy emancipa-
ton. We should escape the burden
Of too much government, and we
should regain our self-respect, our
self confidence, our sense of indi-
vidual integrity. We should think
straight with regard to the moral
aspect of conduct, and we would
escape perplexity with regard to
our political future. We should
have once more the exhilarating
freedom of governing our own lives,
the law standing as umpire, not as
master"

Our Treatment Of Corporations.

full significance of the economic
development of the last century,
nor devised means to protect the
citizen in his pursuit of life,
liberty and happiness" whether
he acts as an individual or as
member OF a corporation. The
changes have been so great and
rapid, the constitution made
quate, laws not always in accord
with true economic development,
but rather the result of compro-
mise between sections of country
and interests. Agitation and
exposure there has been. I'M
scrupulous demagogues have
fred the imagination of those
not possessed of reason in high
degree, and the morally criminal
predations of the INSCRIPTIONS
corporations havearoused indig-
nation in the people.
Legitimate corporations, the
people and the predatory corpo-
rations, who are responsible for
many of the abuses arising, have
all suffered. Attempts have been
made to reach corporations by
fines, with little success. Laws
are inadequate; state charters
are a barrier to federal super
vision, and hepeople themselves
rebel against too much govern
ment, or any law which restricts
the individual, whether acting
singly or in agroup, from attain
ing his highest development, so
long as that development is guild
ed by moral and ethical laws.
There is no doubt but that a
corporation, wisely administered,
with immense resources at hand,
can transact business in a more
economical manner than an indi-
vidual, benefting thereby not
only the stockholders, but all
consumers as well. But when
that corporation by manipula-
ton of stocks robs the innocent
shareholder of the legitimate
earnings on his investment, Gre
ates fictitious values on some
stock and robs others of value,
he is just as much a thief as the
man who puts his hand in an
others pocket and takes from
his support. 1t should be made
a crime in one case as well as the
other.

cided yesterday afternoon at the semi

As an alternative proposition IL was recon-
mended that a further lease of five years
be given 10 the State with the express
understanding that the State shall vacate
the island at the end Of that time. The
commission favors the extended lease and
a modern building and requested the Mayor
TO ask Gov. Hughes. II the Mayor approves,

OF settlement for a long lease.
Mr.. Stewart, ex-Distriot Attorney Philbin

The commission spent most OF the session
considering the tuberculosis situation In
Kings county with reference 10 the city's
hospitals there. DR.. j. F. Fitzgerald, in
charge Of the hospitals, declared that the
situation was deplorable. The Blackwell's
Island Infrmary, to which all tuberculous
patients are supposed TO be sent, is over

Part ii. To-day Outdoors n ITS Fine-Whnt
Happened 20 the shotput.
In spite Of the fact that most Of the athletes
were musclebound after q whole weeks
strenuous training the Barnard girls man
aged to make their Field Day O very ex-
citing event. Because OF the general
dampnoss that prevailed yesterday some
OF the contests were held in the gym
nasium and sSnne were postponed.
The dasheS were deferred because in
the trials for the sixty yard dash Miss
Marie Frigoni, a freshman, fell so violently
against the wall that abe dislocated her
shoulder. When 1t wa time for the eight
pound shotput the judges discovered
that the shot had already been p~ut-some-
where. Nobody knew where. That was
postponed. too.
There was only one thing that q mere
outsider could not understand, and that
was the omission Of the broad jump. But
then the Barnard gymnasium is only sixty
yards long.
The high jump. the first scheduled event,
went without doing more injury than
spraining one ankle. Miss Bertha Fier-
baugh was the unfortunate one. and she
had to drop out. BY dint Of much massag-
ing OF stiff muscles the other contestants
were able to 20 IN until they were dis
qualified. The victors. Miss Elinor Huns

In the basketball throw II looked as IL
some OF the girls did not know the rules
OF the game, for most OF them did not even
hit the basket, to say nothing OF getting
into II. The person who missed least
often was Miss Adelaide Smithers, 90,
who made the basket five times out Of a
possible ten. Miss Edith Seguine, 90,
and Miss Florence Mastin, 'oS, tied for
second place. With three successful shots
out OF ten.
The contests ended with a basketball
game between 90 and 'os. This match
decided the championship for the year
n was therefore saved as q climax to the
excitement Of the day. Both teams showed
fast play and clever pass work, and time
had TO be called on several occasions when
bloomer ~elastics and other frail things
gave way. At the end OF the first half
the score stood 8 to S in favor Of '0S, but
in the second half 90 got down to business
and won the game by q score Of II to Q.
At the end Of the day the positions Of
the four classes according to points was:
90, 81 points: '0s, q; 10, 2. OF, D..
