INJUSTICE BEING DONE.

During the present term OF the
federal court in Guthrie five men
were sentenced to terms in the peni-
tentiary for violation OF the federal
statute known as the Mann act None
of these men were given sentences
for a less period than twenty years.
The chances are that not one OF
them violated the spirit OF the Mann
set That act was designed to stop
the traffic in women, and as such a
law il occupies useful place upon

same as a life sentence.
There is another feature that en-
tiers into cases of this kind, and that
is woman's inherent disposition TO
protect her own reputation. She will
make any sacrifice she will see A
man hanged before she will enter a
plea that would compromise her
character That is the self-protect-
i've instinct which nature has armed
women with. and she can no more

ARE CORPORATIONS souLLEss7

The term "soulless corporation is
applied to corporations for the pur-
pose of conveying the idea that when
a number OF individuals incorporate
a company as a medium for the
transaction of business, that this
company acts without heart and with
out conscience; that it does not feel
and think like a human being that
it possesses no interest in humanity,
that it is never promr,eu IN its acts
by the finer feelings of humanity,
but seeks only 10 accumulate money.
whether by foul or fair means, just
so It manages to stay within the
law"
The appellation "soulless corpora
tion" is getting to be a misnomer.
At the head of these corporations are
men. with hearts and brains and
feelings and consciences like other
men. and these men who are placed
at the head of great institutions
must be at least fairly good men or
they would never be trusted with
big affairs That these companies
are managed with a conscience has

Cross examination by lawyers Is much less severe today than it used to be. Sergeant Ballantine once cross ex- amined the defendant in civil action in England so fercely that after a quarter of an hour of the ordeal she fell down flat in the witness box and could not be further questioned.

CANADIANS SCOUT RUMORS OF COMING
 AERIAL INVASION

Ottawa, Feb. 15.-After an an-night watch for the air visitors, in three or four aerop1anes, reported to have crossed the St. Lawrence river at Morristown. N. r.. and to have drop ped a fire ball as they passed over BrockviIle, the Dominion police ana officials of the government were of the opinion today that the report was un-t founded.
 The chief of police of Ogdensburg, N. Y., twelve miles downlthe< St. Law renee river from Brockville, had heard nothing of the passage of the aero planes over Brockville or of conse- quent excitement incident theret0. He said, however, that on Friday last 8 farmer living, five miles from Ogdens-, burg had reported the passage of an aeroplane over his farm traveIing in the direction of the Canadian border. l After receiving the report last night, Premier Borden notified Col. Sher- wood, comm issioner of the Domfnion police, and the lights around the par 1iament building, the Royal Mint and the residence of the governor general were mediate1y ordered extinguish- ed. This was the first time in it's his tory that the mint has been darkened. Residents of Brockvil1e refuse to accept the statements made by young men from AIorristown, N. Y., that balloons sent up by them last night were responsible for the reports that airships had crossed the border at 1 that point and were headed toward Ottawa. The Canadian press today 1 received a despatch to the effect that responsible residents claimed they saw the aeropIanes cross the St. l Lawrence from the United States last 1 night and they aIso saw them home l ward bound at 1:30 a. m.
 The incident, it was said by the I Dominion police, would be reported 1 to the state department at Washing ton.
 | Various persons told the police that 1 the first of the machines approached Brockvil1e between Sand 10 o'clock
 last night and the second followed
 in the same path about 20 minutes | later. Both were said to have dis | appeared in the direction of Ottawa
 The report was telegTaphed here and I lights in and around the parliament
 buildings and the government house
 were extinguished.
