GAME OLD STORY.

Now that the hue and cry raised at
the heels of all the corporations of the
country, good bad and Indifferent, has
passed and We have a so-called safe
and sane" administration once more
there seems to be a disposition on the
part of the most fragrant offenders of
past years to play the game to the lin
it and double the ill-gotten gains gar
nered under the Mckinley administra-
ton while the latest product of Ohio is
in the presidential chair. There does
not seem to be any great amount of fear
on the part of these men that they will
be called to book. They have been spot
ted. however. by the Wall Street Jour
nal, which says:
There is a very obvious experiment
to see how much in the way of return
to old methods of improper secrecy and
unfair inside privilege the public and
the administration will stand. The
movement is quite clearly marked and
is showing itself in other ways besides
the one indicated in these remarks. The
old and vicious practice of regarding a
position ON a board of directors not as
a trusteeship with serious responsibility
for other peoples money, but as an OPP
portunity for private ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
has been revived. 1t is deeply to be re-
GREETED because such backsliding al
ways involves especially heavy effort
before the ground lost is recovered.
In order that there shall be no i'm
plication of an attack upon particular
stocks, it is not proposed TO give at pres
ent the names Of the corporations re-
terred TO. Any student of financial at
fairs should know them well enough and
If a real indication of an effort to do
better is shown it may not be necessary
TO publish such a list at all"
