"Paid in Full" PIeases.

Beneath the rough exterior of the
Pacific south sea captain beats a heart
filled with rich red blood susceptible to
all the passions of the more sedate
civilian; the love of a man that does
not die when friend secures the hand
of his sweetheart in marriage; the love
of another man, who married the girl,
but is as shallow as his skin and the
worship by a woman of her husband,
which she believes love, but turns to
hate, when she sees him unmasked-
these are the elements that go to make
up the plot of Paid in Full The
drama was presented before a packed
house at the Gennett theater last
night. There are but seven persons in
the caste. The principal characters,
the sea captain, the friend, the husband
and the wife were acted by Frank Bur-
ton, Albert Andrass, Thomas Cooke
and Catharine Proctor. Sach was a
star in his role and the acting was such
as to make the spectators live the life

of the performance. The play is strong

world was told that 100000 men were
engaged as employees in the railway
service.
Every invention, l repeat, has en-
larged the demand for labor as it has
multiplied the efficiency of labor.
l am not prepared to say that We
have yet recognized the duty society
owes to bear some of the burdens that
may fall temporarily on people dis
placed by improvements that bring a
large gain to society. l am not sure
we have yet recognized that when
society is to get honor, society ought
to compensate those who individual
ly suffer for societys benefit.
But whether we have found an accu-
doubt society has gained one of the
great intentions that has made largely
for the enlargement of commerce is
the corporate entity.
The corporation is a step in ad-
vance. 1t enables people to do to-
gether what people could not do
alone. 1t relieves those who cooper
ate of the embarrassments of parti-
sanship, and it substitutes larger OPP
erations and thus facilities the work
of exchange and no one who has es-
timated with intelligence the useful
ness of the corporation will for one
moment think of destroying the pow
er that corporation gives for coopera-
tive efforts
New Responsibilities Arise.
But with every new step in advance,
responsibilities come. When the rail-
road took the place of the turnpike
laws were necessary that were not in
the highway, but society. recognizing
that the railroad had become a neces-
sity, adjusted itself to the railroad and
then proceeded by legislation to correct
whatever abuses might arise in the
management of railroads.
And society. accepting the corpora
ton as an established fact. is proceed
ing to enact such laws as may be ne
cessary to make the corporations serv-
ice the purpose for which they were
created and 1 am sure that the mem
bers of the association. this association
organized for the promotion of the
city's interest, for the development of
the city's commerce and for the ad-
vancement of the city's good, recognize
that with the large power that cor
porate action gives restriction is ne
cesSary.
There is difference between the COR
porate man and the natural man. There
is a difference in the creation. God

stool to carry out divine decree. Man
made the corporation for a material
purpose When God made man he did
not make the tallest man much taller
than the shortest and he did not make
the strongest man much stronger than
the weakest, but when the law creates
the corporate person that one man may
be made hundred. thousand, ten thou
sand. a million times stronger than the
God-made man. When God made man
he set limit to his existence: that II
he was bad man. he would not be bad
long.
