The Lesson to Corporations.

There is much food for thought
Gently made before the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce by President
Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast Line.
Mr.. Emerson spoke of the prejudice
against corporations, and frankly adj.
mitted that there was justification for
some of the charges. There are bad
corporations said he, "and laws should
be enacted and enforced to punish
their wrongdoings: but to assume that
all are bad is as unjust as to call the
entire human race murderers because
some commit murder. Railroads should
be regulated by proper law, but should
be protected in their rights, and laws
should be corrective and not destruc-
tive"
That is perfectly sound doctrine, and
If all manager of corporations had
managed the affairs of their several
concerns in a spirit of fairness to the
public and obedience to law, the preju-
dice against corporations had not been.
There Is no objection to a corporation
per Sc. The objection Is to the law
lessness, the arrogance and the inso-
lence of corporations. Corporations
have abused their powers, have detied
the laws, have mercilessly crushed
their small competitors, and have
snapped their fingers at the rights and
interests of the public. There are
honorable exceptions but many have
done so, and the innocent must suffer
for the misdoings of the guilty. But
now that the storm of public indigna
ton has broken, the bad corporations
are running to cover and placing
themselves under the wings of the
court for shelter. Some of them have
evaded the law; others have wifulb-
disobeyed the law. and still others
have openly defied the law; but as soon
as trouble comes they all, with one
accord, rush to the courts for protec-
ton.
Managers of corporations are having
bitter experience, but they are learn
ing valuable lesson. There Is no
protection outside of law. Those who
would find protection in law never see
how valuable the law is and how
necessary to every lawful interest that
1t be obeyed and upheld.

Inc crime of which Steptoe was ac-

OF Amherst, but the venue was CHANGED
under statute which provides that
whenever the Mayor of any city or
'he sherlif of any county shall call on
me Governor for military force to
protect the accused from violence. the
Judge of the Corporation or Hastings
Court of the city, or of the Circuit
Court of the county, having Jurisdiction

was enacted upon the presumption that
no man can get perfectly fair and
unprecedented trial in community
where popular feeling against him is
80 strong as to require the presence of
troops to protect him from mob yio-
lence.
Steptoe was accused of the unpardon-
able crime but when arrested the gov
