THE CORPORATION WAY.

Il neSlSIcT dAu LcduSA. AWOASS
years ago Benjamin Oppenheim,
fresh from school where he had
worked diligently and conscientious
ly, began the practice Of the law in
New York City. His parents and his
friends entertained sense of whole
some pride in the promise of bril-
liant career for him. And his ideals
were untarnished.
Among his first cases was one put
into his hands by the mother of a
3-year-old child whose foot was
cut off by street car, and who
sought to recover damages from the
corporation. A jury gave her a
verdict of $4,000. Pending appeal
the corporation charged BENJAMIN
Oppenheim with the bribery of his
material witnesses and asked dismis-
sal of the case. A judge wac found
who sustained the motion and APP
pointed a lawyer to investigate the
charges against Oppenheim.
/ This Investigator reported that
the witnesses had sworn that the
lawyer had bribed them to testify
for the child and against the corpor-
alton, and on the basis of that re-
port Oppenheim was disbarred. Inn
mediately there was falling of In
the law suits for damages against
the railroad, and the young man
whose career had been wrecked went
into other work and disappeared,
presently, from public notice.
Twelve years later an ex-employe
of the corporation jumped his board
bill. He left stack Of papers in
his room, and his landlady, going
through them in the search for
something valuable, came upon
vouchers. which disclosed the expen-
diture of 10000 in bribing witness
ses to swear that Oppenheim had
bribed them in the damage case on
account Of which he had been dis
barred and ruined. With rare good
Judgment she called the papers to
the attention of the authorities, and
on shining day last week Open
helm was restored to membership in
the legal profession, and it was en-
tered of record in the courts Of New
York that he was not guilty of brib-
cry. But his parents years ago went
broken hearted to their graves and
his friends have scattered to the four
quarters.
There the narrative stops. A
keenly sympathetic public, gratified
that justice has been done after
twelve years, has only begun to an
aiyze the Oppenheim outrage. Some
one put up the Infamous job on this
young man, some one furnished the
money to blast his reputation, some
one furnished the brains and some
one else the energy to carry out the
most desperate crime of which men
can be guilty. Who were they?
1t would seem to be UP to the law
yers of New York to probe the OPP
penhefm case

Senator Kenyon is going to get
after the abuses of the franking
privileges of the mails. The senator
seems to be live wire and is always
doing something in the interest OF
the people and the square deal. The
Iowa legislature made no mistake
when they elected Kenyon and the
people made none when they nomi-
mated him by $4,000 majority. The
abuse of the franking privileges
costs the people much money in
more ways than one. Postage rates
could be reduced and the expense OF
the service would be much less were
these abuses cut out.

democrats residing remote from the
offices will name the postmasters in
each instance. The boys who, are
candidates, that is some of the limo
cent ones, think a petition amounts
to something, but the average petit
ton has about as much influence
upon the appointing power as a fly
has upon the drive wheel of loco
motive. The fellow who has the pull
gets the persimmons and the pull
does not consist of petitions. Ordin-
arily the successful aspirant must
make the congressman believe he is
the man who can do the most for
him (the congressman in the future.
As soon as he is successful in that
he can rest until the psychological
moment for the plum to drop. into
his capacious nav. The other fell
lows can have the petitions and
make a great showing Of strength
among the patrons of the Office, but
it will avail nothing. Future nomi-
nations are what the congressman is
looking out for and when he knows
who can do the most for him In
that direction the contest is settled.
Of course, this modus operandi does
not hold good when there is war be-
tween the congressman and the ad-
ministration, but in nine cases out
of ten it will land the goods.
Even the rich railroad companies
like to deadbeat their advertising,
as is abundantIy proven by the fire.

pers to kindly publish the inclosed

enough importance to your readers"
The inclosed is nine times out of ten

has no idea, but they must be num-
erous, as the companies have been
doing this sort of thing for years
and they would not spend the time
and postage If enough chump news
paper men did not respond to make
it profitable to the roads. The Free
man Tribune always fires such stuff
into the waste basket. Some OF the
automobile manufacturers have the
railroad advertising spirit, too. Free
quently readers" are received from
them with the request to publish
for the benefit OF your readers"
These likewise find their way
promptly into the FreemanTribune's
waste basket, the publisher not ev-
en- taking time to read them. How
would it do for the newspaper to-
ask the railroad companies to give
them an occasional present of SIS
or $50, "just for the good of the pro-
fesh?" and the automobile people
might also send around an OCCASION
al check for fifty or seventy-five. Yes.
they might, but they don't. When
the Freeman-Tribune goes into the
charity business it will not seek out
rich corporations as subjects for it's
benevolences.

NEGRO IS SOUGHT

AND VICINITY STIRRED
BY ASSAULT.

Atlanta. Aug. Gas a result of an
attempted assault upon a little white
girl IL years of age, London Green,
a negro, was sought for hours by
large crowd of white men.
The attack took place in the home
OF the negro at 50 Lampkin street,
about 1880 o'cloc Monday morning.
The young girl was playing with her
sister, age 10. on the porch of her
home, which is directly across the
street from where the negro lives,
when Green called her, asking her II
she did not want a bunch of flow
ers.
According to her own story when
she arrived at Green's door he ask
ed her TO step inside, as he had the
flowers in a back room already cut.
Upon reaching the second room of
the house. she states that Green, who
is a large negro about As years old,
threw his arms about her and Kissed
her. She Immediately began TO strug-
gle but made no cutlery. Although OF
