Tragedy's Derivation

The word tragedy" now in danger of belittlement, was itself born in obscurity. Nobody doubts that it's parents were 'tra- gos'' ta he-goaD and ode" a song, but why it attained to it's present rank is nat ter of conjecture. We know that it was the practice of the ancient Greek worship pers of Dionysus to sacrifice goat before beginning their devotions, and that fact may have transferred the name of the sacrifice tot the ceremonial that gradually developed into the tragedies of Aeschylus. But then 1t was also the cus- tom of the primitive actors around the shrine of the god to dress in goatskins. A third explanation of how tragedy came into the language rests on the pres entation of goat as prize for the best performance.

 First, business was done by the in- dividual. Next, in order to have larger capital and business. partnerships Of ln- dividuals came into vogue. Combination could go no further than this without the aid of some legal advice Then statutes were passed for the creation of corporations-mere artificial entities so that there could be more capital combined to produce larger business and also to do away with the incon- Nenience and breaking up of business partnerships caused by the death Of enc partner after another and the dis tribution of their estates. But these corporations which were allowed by statute could not unite together as partners or In any way for business purposes.
 Alone at First
 Each had to stand alone and do business alone. Next these holding com pany statutes were passed-the first one not until 1SS5-enabling corporations 10 unite or be combined as a business unit under a holding company in the way I have stated These are the different stages leading up to the gigantic unions of corporations which we now have. Should there be statutes per hitting these combinations of corpora tions? Now that they have been per r1ftted for a full generation the ques- tlon is more difficult. But what would Jefferson say of these mighty com hinations, with revenues and capital and liabilities even larger than those of the United States government 1tself! Would he say that they ought to be permitted to exist and to grow? In the end every one in the country will have ceased to be an independent bus mess entity, and will be mere ser want of one of these great concerns if they continue. Does that tend to make men better citizens or weak and in different ones, by reason of a feeling of dependence and seryitude? What would Jefferson say?'
