The Ketchikan miner., 1912-05-03

.The extent to which direc- tors are personally liable for lthe acts of their employees is being widened. According te the reasoning of the court in
 the case, it is very easy to put
 the directors of a new concern lin the position of personal em- Iployers of the company's agents when stock is being sold to the public. =.
 By making directors or pro.
 motors of new companies per- Isonally responsible for pros- pectuses, the name of a prom iinent man will carry more weight than it does at present. This would give the public
 greater confidence in such of Iferings and should make it cas- Her and less expensive to sell stock in worthy enterprises.
 People are always willing to
 take chance in anything with which successful men are iden tified, and the assurance that stock salesmen are telling them
 through printed prospectuses |or statements just what the linen whose names attract them are willing to back with their money and regulations, should improve this class of business"
 A suggestion made by the Commercial in this connection is we'll worth consideration, viz, to make it illegal to issue prospectusees or representa-
 tions of any kind which do not bear the names of those re- sponsible at law for truthful ness. By so doing, it will curb the enthusiasm of such agents
 as have none too strict a re-
 gard for the thuth, for those
 actually responsible for the company will then not be able
 to assert that they are not a. ware of the character of the representations being made by
 their agents. It would put a stop to the altogether too com
 mon practice of using figure
 heads.
 The decision in question will go a long way toward nal. ,ng
 investments in stocks more se-
 cure, in that it will cause pro.
 motors and officers to be more
 careful as to the class of litera- ture put out and the represen-
 tations made.

MUST DELIVER THE GOODS

Within the past few days the court of appeals of the state of New York has rendered a deci. sion that is of vital importance 10 mining promoters and in fact everybody interested in the stocks of corporations.
 In effect it holds all the par ties connected with the sale of stocks or the promotion of company responsible for any and every representation made in the literature or prospectus issued, either by the company itself or by an accredited agent. By SO doing, the common law of justice between man and man is strongly upheld.
 The case as viewed in New York is commented upon by the New York Commercial in the following words:
 'It has sometimes been said that the laws of this country do not give the investor the pro lection he should have and would have in England for in- stance. The judgment seems to go as far as any English case has ever done, and all that dis satisfied investor has to do is to keep the literature he re- ceived through the mails as proof of the representations which induced him to pay over his money.
 "This case simply settles that which was always supposed to be the law on the subject of representations, and it will have the effect of making men of standing more careful about allowing their names to be con nected with any business over which they cannot maintain close personal supervision. It is strictly in line with the grow ing disposition to make direc- tors of companies take an ac- tive part in the management of such instead of trusting all to executive officers.
 "The liability of an employer for the acts of his servent when engaged in his service is well settled and thoroughly under stood. The court of appeals has simply decided that sales man binds his employer by any by any representation made in effecting a sale, and it will com pei all who employ salesmen to be very careful in picking the men.

THE POLITICAL POT

The call for an Independant Republican convention at Val deg adds another complication to the political situation in AL aska. Judge Wickersham was reported some time ago to have said that he would not stand for election again as delegate, but, like a certain other notable gentleman who loves to bear his country's bur dens, the statement seems to have embodied a mental res- ervation, for he is now quoted as saying that he will run a. gain if his friends desire; and his friends have taken the cue.
 There is also some talk of the nomination of Dan Suther- land as a candidate in case Wickersham decides that he doesn't care to take the race, and the nomination of Suther- land may be the outcome of the Valdez meeting. Sutherland would be a very strong can- didate, for he is not only well known in the Interior and in the Nome regions where he has operated for many years, and very popular, but in a great many eyes is. martyr to the cause of the people and a vic- tim at the hands of the very ones who now esquose the cause of Gilmore, the regular candidate, and his treatment at their hands has not been for gotten. He would be a stron- ger candidate than Wickersham for he would have all of Wick ershams friends and many of his enemies, unless of course the passage of the Home Rule Bill will give Wickersham a prestige that will bring the masses of voters to his banner. It is practically certain that the Valdez convention will nomi- nate either Wickersham or Sutherland, and if Wickers- sham says so the nomination is his; and either one will cut n big figure in the running.
 With the democratc> divided and the regular republicans standing for Gilmore tt would seem that Jennings and Harr- ais will kill each other or for the benefit of tl:o republican nominee, while the socialis! with tic labor vote
 
 adds further opportunity for some awful good guessing a> 10 inc final outcome. Either Wirkersham or Sutherland will cut into the Jennings vote in southeastern Alaska where he ought to run strong, while in the Interior Harrais will feel the brunt of this opposition. While Gilmore is reported to be very strong in the Nome country it is safe to say that in the Interior and in southeast ern Alaska he will receive only the orthodox republican back ing which is not enough to el- ect any one, and in his home district he will be opposed by the socialist, probably Chilberg who ran very strong during his last campaign, as we'll as the in-

Helen Is Much Impressed
With the Gloomy Grandeur
of the London Hotel.

TT was a typical London hotel room.
Large. dark, high-ceilinged. and the
furnishings had an air of massive
solidity.
There were long red velvet hangings
at the window, and the bedstead,
wardrobe and dressing table were of
heavy English walnut. over the open
crate was a broad black marble man
tel.
The velvet window hangings and
marble manteI seemed to Helen par
ticularly impressive They gave the
room an atmosphere of gloomy gran
deur, which satisfied her ideas of an
old and famous London hotel.
Here, can't we have any more
light?'' demanded Warren, frowninG
into the mirror before which he was
adjusting his tie Push back those
curtains there"
Helen drew back the heavy hang
ings, but outside was only a grey stone
wall It might have been dusk in
stead of in the morning. Then she
turned on the electric light, but for all
that large room there was only one
small bulb dropped on a wire from the
center of the ceiling.
Warren looked up with contempt
uous, Huh, that's a brilliant illumina-
