Nine, Women and Song Do Not
Tempt Corporations.

In the department called 1.-THE
Interpreters House, in the March
American Magazine, appears a very
interesting talk, an extract from
which follows:
"A corporation, as every lawyer
knows, is an artificial person, be-
gotten by the Law, a vast being
composed of many individuals, with
powers both greater and less than
the sum of all its parts; invisible,
and without the imbecilities of the
body.
1T is not tempted by wine, wo-
man, or song, like the rest of us,
but its whole life is ruled and di-
rected by one desire and passion
which is never quenched nor salts
fled. 1t is created for profit; it
gets its life-breath, its muscles and
thews, its intellect, and its size by
profit. 1t has vast acquisitive
mind, but no heart of pity nor bow
els Of compassion.
This uncanny race of incorporeal
but corporate persons has begun to
multiply among US OF late, and to
grow to unearthly size, towering
among us mortals as the skyscraper
towers among the plain old homes
Of ou1 cities. 1t is doing our work
for us with giant hands, and doing
1t we'll; but it demands to be fed
with profit, and its hunger is in
satiable. At times a cold horror
creeps over US as we see its fingers
feeling where our children play.
1.-The corporation, which is fast
becoming the agency through which
we manage all our large affairs, in
terposes between the individuals of
the owning class in such way
that human kindness and good
will get in a minimum CT influence.
The stockholders are scattered abb
sentee owners.
"Ruskin mockingly called the eco
nomic man that did business in the
orthodox political economies "a cove
tous machine The corporation is
that thing. 1t does not smart un-
der public disapprobation like a
business man. Like the judge in
the parable, it feareth not God and
regardeth not man.
"A civil engineer can calculate
with fair accuracy the amount of
water-pressure which a certain dam
can safely stand. A moral engineer
can never predict how much pres
sure of temptation a given individu-
al will stand, but he can predict
with absolute certainty that human
nature in the mass will collapse un-
der such temptations as our eco
nomic system puts upon it.
"a given employer may regard
his workmen with genuine human
affection, while all his business in
terests bid him regard them as
mere units of labor making money
for him. But the mass of human
nature in the business world has fol-
lowed the line of least resistance
and acted as the situation prompted

marbuPy and Lee.

The announcement of William l.
Marbury. Esq, of Baltimore, that
he will be a candidate for the Unit
ed States Senatorship to succeed
Senator John Walter Smith gives
the Democratic voters of this State
an opportunity to vote for a SPLEEN
did type of the real, Progressive
Democratic statesman, as opposed
to that professional class of poll
ticians, whose success has been
achieved by dickering with both
sides. Senator Smiths votes in the
United States Senate with the Re-
publican machine makes that por-
ton of his announcement concern
ing the opposition to the Demo
cratic organization ridiculous. In
other words, he seems to think that
it is all right for him to vote with
the Republicans whenever his own
interests are to be benefited there
by, but no one must call him to
account for doing so.
It cannot but be gratifying to
that element of the Democratic par
ty which seeks no office-and this
comprises by far the greater portion
OF the party-to have abundant evil
dence that President Wilson will
not sit idly by and permit a Sena-
tor of the type of Senator Smith
to ride, roughshod, over Demo
cratic principles and platforms. II
may be assumed as certain that
President Wilson will not permit
Senator Smith to name the federal
appointees in this State, for the
President has had experience
enough to know what would be the
result.
We are delighted at having the
chance to support for the long and
short term Senatorial nominations
two men of the character, standing
and ability of William L. Marbury
and Blair Lee, and we believe that
the people of this State will recog-
nize their worth and demand their
election to the Senate.

CLASH OVER HAPPY
DAY HOME BENEFIT
Question Is Whether There
Are Any Profits and Who
Shall Receive Them

The recent benefit performances for
the Happy Day home. given at the
Tivoli. in which Mrs. A. W. Scott
Jr. took the leading roles. have re-
suited in clash between A. W. Scott
Jr. and Mrs. Catherine Osborne, presi-
dent of the Happy Day Home society,
over the disposition of the receipts
of the shows.
Mrs. Osborne says she consulted At
torney Matt Sullivan, who reported
back to her that Scott said he had
spent all the $1,000 taken in, to-
gether with $500 from his personal
funds to stage the operas, and that
there would be nothing for the Hap
py Day home.
Mrs. A. w. Scott Jr. states that there
is a Misunderstanding, that there is
between $1,000 and $500 to be turned
over to the home, the only question
being who shall receive the money.
She declares that Mr.. Scott will not
pay the money to Mrs. Osborne or
any one representative of the home,
but will appear at any time and place
before the board of directors and
make a report of receipts and ex-
penditures and pay over the balance
Mrs. Osborne says there will be no
meeting of the board of directors for
this purpose as she is the person to
receive any money that is coming to
the home.

POLICE FAIL
To TRACE
NJ 'CREERY
No CleWS to Millionaire Who
Fled Guardians at
Ranch
BULLETIN

At noon today Attorney H. II. Nc
Pike asserted that the trail leading to
the whereabouts of Walter Nc
Creery, his eccentric millionaire
ward, was growing hot and that he
expected definite information within
a few hours. He refused to divulge
the nature of his clews.
There are two solutions to the
mysterious disappearance OF Walter
McCreery, eccentric millionaire. who
year ago was declared an incom-.
petent and ordered held at the Los
vuertos rancho near HoIlister. that
the police and detectives think prob
able One is that McCreery is still
hiding in the vicinity of Sargents and
the other that under cover of dark
ness he embarked from some point
on Monterey bay in a launch to be
picked up by a ship at sea.
Nothing more tangible than deduc-
tions has been reached by the detec-
tives now combing the state for
trace of the missing man.
The report that McCreery was in
Watsonville yesterday sent Attorney
H. H. McPike, guardian of McCreery,
hurrying down there, but on his re-
turn today he said that he had found
no trace. None of the points on Mon
terey bay has reported seeing any one
fitting McCreery's description.
Assistant District Attorney Moore
of Hollister said that he did not think
McCreery insane. He admitted hav-
ing held a conference at the ranch
with A II. Fredson, the rich rancher
with whom McCreery made his mid
night flight.
Robert villines. Fredson's chauffeur,
admits taking his employer and Nc
Creery to Sergents, but denies know
ing where they went from that point.
Mrs. Fredson also denies knowing her
husbands destination.
1t was reported in Hollister today
that Attorney McPike was furious at
his inability to trace his ward and
threatened to prosecute every person
connected with the escape.
