CORPORATION Limited.

BISMARCK, N. D., September %
Under a decision of the supreme court of
North Dakota the secretary Of state is
without power to revoke the franchise
of a corporation, and the law that makes
provision for such procedure is declared
unconstitutional.
The decision is made in the case of the
Standard Oil Company ex rel. the state
of North Dakota VS.. Alfred Blaisdell
former secretary of state.
The action involved a hearing ordered
by the secretary of state on the question
Of whether or not the Standard Oil Com

The first thing driver does when one
of his tires blows out is to look for some
small sharp object that he is certain
caused the trouble. The next move very
often is to form ironclad opinion that
the tire manufacturer is wholly to blame
for the accident. As matter of fact.
it is more than likely that the fault lies
with the driver, for there are two re-
suits of cafelessness that no tire can pos
sibly Observation-Disclosures initiation and
constant overlooking.
Few motorists ever concede the fact
that they have been guilty of either
fault. Some drivers claim that they have
been particularly careful before starting
on the particular trip when the blow
ont occurred to test their tires so as to
be sure that the air pressure was abso-
lutely correct. and others claim that
their cars We're far from overloaded.
Many drives forget that previous care
less treatment affected the tires strength:
that, perhaps, with the exception of a
few times ever since the first day of
the tires service it had been compelled
to carry an overweight Of from one to
two hundred pounds. and had probably
been insufficiently inflated most of the
time.
The fact that there was no overload or
underinfiation al the time the blowout
occurred proves nothing. To draw
tragic parallel, a man may die suddenly
of some internal disease which unknown
TO him has been developing for d con-
siderable time. In the same way tire
will eventually succumb to long-sus-
tanned strain. In the greater number of
cases it is Ecnly after n long period of
heavy work that signs of wear begin
to appear.
1t should be remembered that tires are
not made of granite concrete, but of
rubber, and should be treated accordingly.

The Importance of keeping the radiator
of a car clean cannot be overemphasiZed.
Sediment inside reduces the conductivity
and makes the radiator as a whole less
efficient. Mud in the air tubes or be-
tween the f1anges tends to reduce the
cooling surface and therefore to have the
same effect in a smaller degree as does
sediment.

Will Fight Segregation.

A few days ago colored woman was
fined heavily in the police court for viola
ton of the segregation ordinance. which
became effective some months ago. This
has served to arouse the colored people
of the city, and they have inaugurated
movement looking to the testing of the
law in the state courts and finally in the
federal courts.
A colored lawyer has the matter in
charge, and has called meeting of all
the colored property owners interested
to devise ways and means for taking the
matter to the courts. That the action
would entail considerable cost and much
labor there is no question, and 1t remains
to be seen if the colored people are will
ing to take up the question and to seek
Iedress in the courts. The idea is to en-
ploy white counsel to take charge of the
case and to fight it to the end. the SUI
preme Court OF the United States being
the tribunal which will. if the plan Is
supported ultimately pass on the sub
ject.

Defeated Opponent Of Senator Swan
son Urged to Enter Race
for Governor.

RICHMOND, Va, September 23.-Rep-
resentative William A. Jones of the first
district will have to pay for his temerity
in Offering to succeed Senator Thomas S.
Martin in the United States Senate. That
is what the political prophets are saying
these days when they discuss the matter
of redistricting the state for members OF
Congress, which will have to be taken up
the coming winter.
The first district at this time Is one of
the largest in the state. and as it is ad-
jacent to the eighth district the talk Is
that some of the counties of the first dis
trict will be placed in the eighth in the
general shake-up that is to come, there
by giving Mr.. Jones a virile opponent IN
the person of Representative Charles c.
Carlin, who has been in Congress only a
few years and who manages to come out
with an increased majority in each cleo
ton. OF course, the implication is that
just enough counties will be put into the
eighth from the first to make it impos-
sible for Mr.. Jones to save his face, and
that the first district will have added
such counties in lieu of those taken to
make it impossible for him TO win.
There are other districts, of course,
which will share in the great shake up
especially the sixth (Mr. CLASSY and the
third (Mr. Lamb's). Then there will be
some changes in the fourth. which will
serve to put Judge W. ter A. Watson of
Nottoway. the gentlem1 i who tried Henry
Clay Beattie. in the running. For some
time his friends have been demanding
that he enter political life, and 1t is be-
lieved that if conditions are right for the
next primary he may be induced to enter
the contest.
OF course, much of the talk about re-
districting and attending to the case of
Jones' comes from those who are his
closest friends and who are endeavoring
to put an end to any such attempt. What
the outcome Will be no one can tell, but
the state will be redistricted for members
of Congress during the coming winter

Restore Spanking
In the Public Schools.

The members of the Brooklyn Public
School Teachers Association have
with practical unanimity signed petit
tons for a restoration of the good old
privilege of spanking.
The movement is not confined to
Brooklyn. School teachers everywhere
are practically in agreement on this
question.
1t is not to be assumed that these
teachers want to be permitted to spank
because they enjoy it. 1t is not a
pleasure, but a painful duty which
they ask to have put upon them.
There has been a lot Of nlaudlin SEN
ttmentality against corporal punish
nent in the public schools. And it is
to be observed that in about the same
proportion that this sentimentality has
prevailed retormatories and juvenile
courts have become necessary.
Not very long ago the principal of
the high school at Evanston, H., de-
