occurred in California an what 3 occurred in Illinois. In Illinois. for 'n- stance. one of the ra' q 'lities devef.ocd b,- tro r,cent inv,s str ton was the existence of a combination of legsla- tors who Nlackrrailed fishermen along certain river. forcing them to pay to prcvrnt legislation which would have intcrfered with their business.
 No Distinction of Glass.
 Now scoundrels who do these kinds of things are. of course, the very men who, on t1s one hand. will blackmail a corporation. if they get chance. and. on the other hand will cheerfully if the chance occurs. sell themselves to that corporation against the interests of the public. Their corruption Is no more due to the action of the corpora tons than the corruption of the cor porations is due to their action; and evil, and not good, is done by the hon est but misguided man who would per sunde you that either fact is true. Our duty Is to war with equal sternness gainst the corrupt man of great wealth and the small man who makes a trade of corruption; our fight is against both the swindling corporation and the blackmailing or bribe-taking politician.
 We cannot afford to limit a campaign against COT Iruption to those who hap pen to have a certain social status. We need laws which shall put the corpora tion out of business. so far s concerns cOrruptlng the servants of the public and betraying the rights of the public. l believe that the great issue now be- fore the people is the doing away with special privilege in all its forms; do- ing away with the power of the big corporation to control legislation in it's interests and to interfere in politics in order to secure privileges to which it is not entitled. But I regard the essen ton factor in this campaign as being an aroused civic conscience which will unsparingly condemn dishonesty in every form, and in every man, high or low. The reckless. woull-be reformer who. in speaking or writing. seeks to persuade us that we need pay heed to corruption only when it shows itself in tie rich man, is doing as great a moral wrong as the rich man whose low moral standard tends to lower the moral standard of the whole commu- nifty. The people of this country will get justice from the corporations only if they both do justice to them and rigidly exact it from them. Unless they do justice to rich men, they put a premium upon injustice and dishon- esty among rich men. Let us hold them to the strictest accountability for any wrong doing; but let us in- SiSt upon honesty in our own ranks, no less than theirs; let us war on crook edness of every kind in the man of Smvll means as well as the man of large means Let us judge each man by his conduct. and not by his social or financial condition.
