The Public Conscience.

Evolution is steadily working its
Jay in all things and the public con-
cience is gradually becoming more
cute, less deadened to the things that
stood for in politics, corporate life
nd municipal operations.
He of the famous public be
ahmed episode is not a possibility of
bday. The public will not be damned !;
is awake and demands its full legal
lights and expects its official servants
o exact them.
Nowhere is this more evident than
q corporate life. The directors of a

hen, jtstifying themselves that what
hey did was perfectly legitimate and
n compliance with custom would no

A few years ago the directors of
me of the big New York industrial
Preparations visited another city and
obtained an option on another cor
Poration in the same line of business.
Returning home they recommended to
he board of directors that the pur-
lhaSe of the other corporation be con-
|ummatsd at a price of $4,000 in ex-
Eess of the option price held by them
|elves.
After the absorption some one told
he story and the shareholders were
Falled together to. review the action.
They approved of it and instructed
he directors that, if they could re-
beat the procedure elsewhere, as salts
Factorily, to do it. They stood for the
pig bunch of graft. Today the directors
would have been made to disgorge.

For this purpose the modern utility

Newell Sanders, not long ago Re-
publican short-term Senator from Ten
nessee, has not given up his allegiance
to the @. o. p, but he has figured very
prominently In the Anti-Saloon League
operations since leaving the Senate.
He has even declared in his speeches
that the country ought to have Presi-
dent In favor OF national prohibiton'
but gives no promise that such Presi-
dent will be doing business In this gem

Sanders may be in conventions called

publican comrades are not worried.
They expect him here in December with
the meeting of the Republican National
Committee and they also expect him to
be as aggressive against the cutting
down OF Southern representation In ma
tional conventions as he is in his as
saults upon the wicked saloonkeepers.
The Sanders soul will be stirred when
the Northern members Of the committee
urge smaller delegations 70 national con-
ventions from States that can promise
nothing in the way Of Presidential
electors.
As Sanders comes from the one South
ern State that has made something OF
a showing for the Republican cause, he
will be entitled to a little more consid-
Grafton than the committee members
from other Southern States, but the
trend Is against the South. and not even

methods OF packing a national conven-
ton with delegates who are wonderfully
powerful in June but helpless in No
