"'mpri.onIns corporasien:.


The idea Of imprisoning those "artt-
ficial" persons. 1.-The corporations" for
violations of the law by depriving them
Of power and liberty. and by putting
government agents In charge of their
affairs for a given period with q view
to drastic reorganization of system and
change Of methods, Is interesting and
original. It's Chicago author. Mr.. Rich
berg. first advanced 1t some years ago.
when it attracted but little attention
Now he has explained it to the COM
merce committee Of the senate. and
because OF the urgency of the trust
question the new idea is sure to arouse
interest
There is nothing impossible in the
idea. From federal Incorporation and
federal licensing, from strict publicity
and constant supervision to "imprison-
ilent" of corporate offenders in the
sense Indicated the step is short.
But will it ever be necessary or ad-
visable? Is not guilt personal" and
would not the imprisonment of natural
persons. officers and directors, be suf-
ficiently deterrent and effective?
However, Imprisonment either OF
natural or artificial persons presup-
tainty in the laws governing them.
This truth is now being impressed on
the congressional committees in con-
nection with the discussion OF the
Sherman act. Certainty is the first es-
sential. Juries will not imprison men
who are technical offenders. or who
have violated uncomfortable and i'm
possible statutes. Let the laws be clear
and reasona BILE, and 1uries will convict
natural persons" fast enough to rem
der the Imprisonment Of artificial ones
wholly unnecessary. 1t will not be
necessary for the government to main
tain and train large force Of re
ceivers'' and "reorganizers" Of cor
porations

S1OR|E BRIEFLY TOLD

The last sad rites over the re-
mains Of the late Thomas Hodson
were performed at the farm home in
Hebron at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and one more of this
Country's brave and noble men
sleeps the sleep Of the blessed.
SorroWing friends of the deceased
and the family came from st. Peter,
New Ulm, Lake Crystal and Man
kato to pay their last respects to
one whom they ali held in the high
est esteem as a neighbor and friend.
These, added to the neighbors and
friends from Kerns, Hebron and
Nicollet, made several hundreds in
number. Fully one hundred con-
veyances, autos and buggies were
there.
The services were conducted by
Rev. William n. Jameson, pastor of
the Mankato Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church and We're very i'm
pressive. Rev. Jameson had an in
innate acquaintance with the de-
and valiant deeds during his latter
years, his able defense of his coun-
try during the trying times Of the
Civil war and his honorable record
in that conflict. The Kerns Congre-
gati0nal church choir sang sweetly
Rock of Ages" the familiar song
of the deceased, and also sang at
the grave.
The remains were laid away in
the beautiful Hebron cemetery, a
short distance only from the Hold
son home Here Alexander Wilkin
Post, G. A. r., Of MankatO, of which
Mr. Ho65on had been a member,
conducted the service. The grave
vas beautifully decorated and sur
rounded with carnations and roses
and a large G. A. r. floral piece at
the head made of roses and carna-
tons. The national colors were also
displayed.
Judge Loren Cray, in placing the
wreath on the casket and on behalf
of the G. A. r. post, spoke loving
worG(s Of his departed comrade and
expressions Of cheer and comfort to
the sorrowing family.
Rev. Jameson followed the G. A.
r. service with beautiful prayer
and the remains were lowered to
earth, there to remain until the res
direction morn.
The pallbearers were William
Headley, E. J. Rood, Glenn Drake,
Grin Door, A. C. Vrooman and Len
Purrill.
Members of the Mankato G. A. r.
were invited and partoOk of lunch
at the Hodson home after the SER
vice, and before returning TO Man
kato.

places of several veterans OF the
Civil war, among the names Is &.

ond Minnesota, who died in 1868;

ST. Paul, June 14.-More than ST.,
900, 600 year is lost in Minnesota
each year because eggs are allowed
lowed to spoil, according to a cir
cular issued by the state dairy and
food department. The circular not
only gives suggestions on how to
avoid this loss but gives warning
to producers and shippers that the
laws CT the state forbid dealing in
or selling for use as food either bad
eggs, diseased chickens or decaying
poultry. Commissioner Winkjer has
given special instructions to his in
spectors to enfore the law, which
provides $50 fine or not less than
sixty days in jail. The following
suggestions are made:
Keep standard bred stock thus in
surfing uniformity of product.
Sell only full sized 1.-TWO ounce),
fresh, clean, uniform eggs.
Keep nests clean, confine broody
hens, gather eggs twice daily, keep
in cool place, free from odors OF
all kinds.
Do not offer for sale little, dirty,
checked, stained or doubtful eggs.
Most of these may be consumed at
home at full market value.
Fatten all surplus poultry, bring
ing stock up to standard weight.
To shippers the following sugges-
lions are made:
Pack eggs only in standard cases,
with medium filters, using excelsior,
cork shavings, cut straw or CORFU
