The 10000 stockholders of rail road do not know where there off cers are leading them, but the off cers know. If officers had known that they personally and not their company as a whole would suffer through questionable acts, nearly ev- cry one of the numerous cases of the past ten years where corporations have been assailed would have been avoided.
 Individual gain for few and not wholesale gain for the many has been mainly responsible for. the glaring faults of some big companies. Every consideration of logic and justice therefore demands that those who dc the wrong shall suffer for it.
 The stockholders, not the officers, suffer when the corporation is fined for violation of the law. A yawning cell would do more to prevent the officers of railroad company or other big corporation from going wrong than would the fear of $1,000,000 fine imposed upon all the corporation s stockholders. The most effective way of enforcing the antitrust laws will be by making guilt personal.-Ex.

 Dcnver.-A rap of the bailif's gavel, followed by loud Hear ye, hear ye, hear vel" brought a number of specta- tors to a halt in the first division of the district court. Court attaches as sumed their accustomed places, and the first judgeless court ever held in Denver was in session.

 The judgment against the Snyders, amounting to $1.730, was awarded by a jury over which Judge. Little pre- sided last May. The judgment was set aside on the showing made by Snyder that he had not been officially notified concerning the date of the trial and the case was allowed to go by default.

MAKING GUILT PERSONAL"

President Wilson. who is strongly in favor of making guilt personal in the punishment of corporations that violate the federal laws. is finding an illustration of the need of this meth cd in dealing with the railroad rate question. The president, according to Washington reports, realizes the i'm portance of the issues involved in the application of the Eastern railroads for permission to increase their freight charges The chief objection to granting this permission is found in the expose of the methods by which high tinanciers wrecked and footed the Frisco, the Rock Island and the New Haven roads. The president appre- ciates the unfairness of making all of the railroads of the country suffer for the sins of these financial jugglers.
 The shareholders in the railroads. and they are not capitalists but small investors for the most part, are not responsible for the manipulation of the high officials of the roads. Only few shareholders of any big com pany can know what is going on in side The few who know are morally responsible for it's management When such a company is deliberately footed it seems unfair to punish the many for the guilt of the few. Were guilt made personal and not corporate, whatever penalty the law could inflict would fall upon those individuals who had done the wrong and who had pro- nted most by it. but not upon all the innocent shareholders.

NEW MONEY ORDER PLAN.
Postoffics Department Would Cash
 Checks at Any Station.

Washington Officials of the poStOf- flee department have determined to urge congress at the regular session to amend the postal laws so that money orders may be paid at any postottice in the country, although drawn on a giv- en office. A committee appointed by Alexander M. Cookery. third assistant postmaster general. has worked out details of the plan.
 Information has reached the depart ment that the express companies all ready are opposing the plan because it would mean a sharp curtailment Of the money order business handled by them The expectation Is that bank ing interests also will oppose the plan. as it would be likely to cut into the bank draft business.
 Under such a system a money order would be treated identically as a draft or express money order. The party to whom such an order was made out would indorSe it just the same as draft or check. making it payable to the bank or individual whom he de sired to cash it if he did not take 1t to the poStof1ce.
 Postmaster General BurleSon will in- clude the proposed change in the mon ey order system in his annual report Officials of the department are conf dent that congress will act favorably upon It.

SATURDAY, APRIL Il, 1914.
AN IMMIGRATION SUGGESTION.

Advocates of the literacy test for immigrants admit that the chief ann of it is to restrict the number ot aliens coming to the United States every year. The difficulty with the provision is :: at it is aimed at de feet which is easily cured. The second generation of our immigrants are among the brightest of the pupils in school. Restriction of immigration may be desirable, but it should not be based on literacy test. Dr. s. l.. Gulick, who has spent 26 years in Japan and is now in this country on a lecture tour, offers restriction plan which might work we'll and which is highly preferable to the literacy test method.
 Dr. Gulick proposes that we meet the situation by restricting the immi- grafton from any foreign country. either in Europe or Asia. to five per cent of the natives of that country already located in the United States and become naturalized citizens of this country. While the proposal is a novel one, it is also extremely prac- tical, since it would put substantial ly no check on the most desirable class of immigration, that from Nor thern Europe, because five per cent of the naturalized citizens of any country in that region now living here would be more than enough to include the present immigration from such sources. But it would put prompt and arbitrary check on the influx from other countries wh;ch are today sup plying the bulk of the undesirables who come to our shores.
 Such policy recognizes the i'm perative need of assimilation of new ly-come citizens if they are to be- come an asset to the nation instead of menace to American institutions and a peril to the American stand ards of living We need have no fear of being overwhelmed by new arriv- als from lands where real liberty is unknown, and whose peoples are un- trained to distinguish between liberty and license, if we confine the number who may enter to five per cent annu- ally. This plan has the additional and quite vital advantage that such a method of handling the immigra- ton question displays no favoritism, or preference, such as that which has aroused Japan and strained our re- lations in that quarter. If Japan is limited in the same way that En- gland, or France, for instance, is linn tied, in the number of her citizens who will be admitted to the United States, every possible reason for ob- jection disappears.
 We hope that Dr. Gulick's plan will get the consideration it seems to de serve at the hands of congress and the administration.

 The principal topic was milk. That is the whole story of disease among infants" said Dr. Vincent. Get pure milk and keep it pure and there will he practically no disease among the babies. Milk should be given infants just as it comes from the cow. without boiling or any ether preparation"

WHO IS WHO2

| am pleased to call your attention
this week to an article written by At
torney S. Joe Brown, upon my re-
quest, that we find the names of the
members of the Iowa legislature who
were members two years ago and
voted against the Jim Crow legisla-
tion known as the "Intermarriage
Bill" that was introduced into our
legislature two years ago. Therefore
We are publishing, under the title of
"A Word To Iowa Voters" the names
of each representative who voted in
favor of the bill, also those who voted
against the bill who are now candi-
dates for your suffrage and are seek
ing our support next Tuesday.
1t is therefore up to you colored
voters of the various districts Of Iowa
to work and defeat every one that
voted for that Jim Crow bill and seek
to work and elect those who voted
against it, thereby showing that we
appreciate the stand that our friends
took. l hope that this article will be
read in every church and literary So
ciety, that they may know the names
of those who were seeking election,
and now IS the time to exert your in
fluence in behalf Of our friends and
against our enemies.

A WORD TO VOTERS.

Mr.. Voter: On next Tuesday, No
vember 3rd, you, as an American cltl-
zen, will De called upon to exercise
vour right of franchise. Especially is
this true of the colored citizen OF the
United States living north OF the
"Mason and Dixon line.' Unfortun-
ately it is not true Of those who are
living south of this famous line. 1t
is, therefore, necessary that | should
give you a few facts to refresh your
memory or that may be GUIDE TO
the exercising of your vote where TINS
franchise is not taken from you. l
want to say that I hope that no col.
ored man will vote for the natlonai
democratic ticket or members IN elth-
ar branch Of the American congress,
nor for any democrat in the various
state legislatures, because lnvar1aoiy
every state that is controlled by the
democratic party has disfranch'sed
and jim-crowed and segregated the
colored citizens or have made an al
tempt to do the same, but IN every
state controlled by the republicans
such is not true. Another very great
reason is that the present democratic
administration has been so hostile to
the colored citizens OF the Onlteo
States that they have practlcally re-
nlaced nearly all the colored ap,
no;ntees throughout the south and
Washington that they can reach anu
are still after more. One by one we
have lost the political recognition que
the race. Again many OF the soutn-
ern states will not make proper pro-
visions for the maintenance OF our
American public schools for the eau,
cation of the colored youth, but VIII
taLo tn ctaxes raised from the prop

The name Of Hon. Casper Schenk,
an attorney in Des Moines, will be on
the progressive ticket as a candidate
for U. S. senator, subject to the cleo
tion November 3rd. Mr.. Schenk is
one of the strong, able lawyers, clean
and righ minded Christian young man
with broad ideas, liberal with his
views and progressive in his ideas.
He is a true friend of the corored
race, as was demonstrated by the fact
that when the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, the official organ of the Crisis
of New York City, wrote to all the
candidates for members of the lower
and upper branches of congress to
ask their stand upon the great ques-
tions that effect the Negro race, Mr..
Schenk was the only candidate for U.
s. senate from Iowa that answered
the letter in all the questions which
was satisfactory to the official organ
of the Crisis. Neither Of the other
candidates made any reply, which
shows that if he is nominated and
elected he will stand by the principles
of right in so far as the colored race
or any other race is concerned. His
many friends solicit four support on
November 3rd. .@ .
