BRYAN ON CORPORATIONS.

According to Mr.. Bryans own dis
tinction between a natural person and
an artificial persona corporation
was "created to make money"-the
corporation ought to be given special
privileges by the government The
trouble with MIR. Bryan Is that he has
been playing a one-sided game so long
he can't see everything in front Of
him at once.
A corporation is created to enable
a number of men to accomplish what
one alone, or all disconnectedly,
could not do. Only through an Or
ganization, capable of acting as a
legal entity, OF suing and being sued,
can big industrial and commercial en-
terprises be carried out When an in
dividual or partnership builds up a
business to a certain point. develop
ment and advancement is impossible
until a corporation or joint stock COM
psny is organized. under the laws of
the state A corporation is simply
a convenience, by which the highest
possible attainment Is reached in ths
business world.
Being artificial and more or less
restricted in its operations and meth
DDS, it is excessively sensitive to tinan-
cial and industrial conditions, and
while its use as an instrument of in
justice must never be countenanced,
the utmost care must be exercised in
correcting abuses. Most of the fac
tories and big business concerns in Pa
ducah are corporations. all the news
papers are corporations. and most so
cial and religious institutions are cor
porations.
Some designing individuals have
used corporations as a blind, created
trusts, and violated the civil and moral
laws, but It is the God made men
of whom Mr. Bryan speaks, who are
guilty OF these outrages. Wreakine
vengeance on a senseless. artificial
impalpable name, which is corpora
ton, is Quixotic. II abuses have
sprung up under our cooperative sys
tenn, let us with moderation and calm
ness correct the abuses. not BY harsh
moaSi1 res directed M Al c11rOOratiOus.

Saddest of the Sad.

IT'S sad, when you must borrow cash
To find your friend won't lend it;
To be in jail for taxing graft,
And can't get out to spend It,
'Tis sad to walk where peaches grow
And be too short to reach them;
To world-awakening sermons write,
And net be asked to preach them
Tis sad TO learn scandal, through
A key-hole. so can't tell IT,
To read the joke YOU called your own
Before you'd time to sell II.
But this Is far the saddest fate
The sun will ever shine on:
To be vine and want to twine,
And have no oak to twine on.
