up, and we must effect a new set of
adjustments We must have a work
ingman's compensation act which will
not put upon him the burden of fight
ing powerful composite employers TO
obtain his rights, but which will give
him his rights without suit, directly
and without contests, by automatic op-
GRAFTON of law, as if of law of in
surance.
But there is a regulation needed
which lies back of that and is much
more fundamental. The composite en-
ployer himself needs to have his char
acter and powers overhauled his con-
stitution and rights reconsidered, re-
adjusted to the fundamental interests
.of society. If | ma yspeak very plainly,
we are much too free with grants Of
charters to corporations in New Jersey
.A corporation exists, not of natural
right, but only by license of law, and
the law if we look at the matter IN
good conscience, is responsible for
what it creates. 1t can never rightly
authorize any kind of fraud or IMPOSE
ton. 1t cannot righteously allow the
setting up of business which has no
sound basis, or which follows methods
which in any way outrage justice or
fair dealing or the principles of honest
industry. The law cannot give it's Ii
cense to things of that kind. 1t thereby
authenticates what it ought of right 10
forbid.
Il would urge, therefore, the impera-
tive obligation of public policy and of
public honesty we are under to effect
such changes in the law of the State as
will henceforth effectually prevent the
abuse of the privilege of incorporation
which has in recent years brought so
much discredit upon our State. inI
order to do this it will be necessary 10
regulate and restrict the issue of Sc
curities, to enforce regulations with
regard to bona fide capital, examining
very vigorously the basis of capitalize
ton, and to prescribe methods byI
which the public shall be safeguarded
against fraud, deception, extortion and
every abuse of its confidence.
And such scrutiny and regulation
ought not to be confined to corpora,
lions seeking charters. They ought al
so to be extended to corporations al
ready operating under the license and
of the State. For the right to |
such regulations is suscep-
tible of easy and obvious justification. |
The corporations affect sometimes the
lives and fortunes of the whole cons
dominate prices, determine
land values, make and unmake mark
cts, develop or check the growth of |
city and of countryside If law is at
liberty to adjust the general conditions
Of society itself it is at liberty to con-
troll these great instrumentalities
which nowadays, in a large part, de-
termine the character of society"

SOUTHERN INSURANCE COM
PANIES FOR SOUTHERNERS

That the South is again coming into
her own is being proved daily
The marvellous growth of her indus
tries and the wonderful development of
her resources has attracted national
and international attention until the
eyes of the entire investment world are
now turned upon Dixie.
And perhaps. most significant of all
( is the conservation of her financial re-
sources and the tremendous strides
that are being made in this direction.
There is no better proof of this fact
than the present standing of many of
the Southern insurance companies.
Time was-and not so very long ago
that the proper protection modern bus
mess conditions demand necessitated
a constant flow of large sums into the
East and this constant drain cost the
South millions of dollars annually.
Then it was number of the most
successful and far-seeing capitalists of
the South organized and provided safe
and practical remedies for just such
conditions. Life, fire and casualty in.
surance companies were builded upon
safe and conservative foundations that
promised much for the up-building Of
the South The policy of these home
companies was such as must appeal 20
the most careful whose names stood
for all that is best in both the old
South and the new While the officials
comprised men of recognized ability
and wide experience together with an
intimate knowledge of existing condi-
tions.
That they builded even better than
they knew is best proved by the truly
remarkable growth and development
of these Southern companies. The ex-
detrimental stage has long since passed
and besides offering unquestioned Sc
curity and advantages to the indi-
vidual, they have become factors in
the development of Dixie the value of
which is almost beyond estimate 81
Our own people, too, are being more
and more educated to the mutual ben
ehts that must follow in the wake of
patronage of home industries. The
corn and wheat and other supplies !
which we imported at such ire
mendous profits to the Western
farmer are rapidly being supplant-
ed by home-raised grain. Southerners
have been quick to see and realize the
eXpediency and profits of raising their
own supplies.
The same principle holds good in con
serving home finances. The keeping 81
Southern dollars to circulate in the
South offers the same protective and
profitable principle that has been de-
monstrated in the raising of corn.
wheat and all necessary supplies at
home.
And best of all, the present unpr,-
.cedented growth of Southern insurance
companies proves that Southerners
generally realize this fact and recog-
nize the tremendous advantages of
Keeping 'hOme-raised dollars" right
here in the South, the security offer

Jury Service in the District.

There are two factors in connection
with jury service in the District which
must be taken into consideration. The
first is the large number of persons le-
gally exempted, and the second is the
wide discretion vested by law in the
court.
Immunity from jury service in the
District OF Columbia is granted to ex-
ecutive and judicial officers, SHARED
officials of the Federal and municipal
government. attorneys in actual prac-
tice, clcrgymen of every denomination,
practicing physicians and surgeons,
keepers of hospitals, asylurns, and other
charitable institutions. and captains and
masters and other persons employed on
vessels navigating the waters of the
District In addition. no person over
siNty-fve years of age is required to
serve
In the matter of persons who are not
ineligible the law allows loophole for
escape from jury duty 1t declares that
"a person may be excused by the court
from serving on a jury when, for any
reason, his interests or those OF the public
may be materially injured by his at
tendance It is comparatively easy for
any business man to demonstrate to the
court that his interests would be ma
terially injured by enforced attendance
on Juy duty. and the court is con-
stantly compelled to exercise its judg-
ment in determining how far it should
go in imposing civic duty upon the citi-
zen In this difficult task the presump-
ton invariably IS that the court uses its
discretion with wisdom. The rule is
that in the absence of any ,howing to
the contrary, it will be presumed that in
eNcuslng a juror the court acted on cor
rect principles and that the excuse was
sufficient to warrant its action. In any
event. the exercise Of its discretion will
not be revised unless it has been clearly
apparent that it has been abused"
The point Of the matter IS that there
should be a willingness to do jury duty
whenever such duty can be done without
actual personal loss, and then the court
would be required to compel service
only in rare cases. There should not. OF
course, be ground for complaint that
some persons are never called for Jury
duty. and that others are compelled to
serve frequently, The panel should
be impartially distributed over the en-
tire community. and when this has been
done, every man should he willing to
do his share toward securing admin
istration Of justice.

The Senate Minority Leader.

The election Of Senator Martin, OF
Virginia, as the leader of the minority
in the Senate discloscs the fact that there
arc insurgents in the Democratic as well
as in the Republican party. Sixteen
Democrats, representing what they are
pleased to call the progressive wing OF
the party, declined to cast their votes
for Senator Martin They are not likely,
however, to act as an independent body
in the Senate.
Senator Martin has achieved an en-
viable reputation for himself as an or
ganizer with great executive ability, as
sagacious counselor, and as a pains
taking, efficient Senator The charge
against him is that his Democracy is
too conservative, He is by temperament
and training opposed to many of the
modern political theories. In the minds
of many people. however, the charge OF
conservatism is not altogether to his
diScredit.
