In the human soul and in the larger images of hu- manlty which society," strife is the key to progress and the chief means of turning confusion to order The clash of ideals purposes and opinions leads to judg- ments it reveals principles and shows where we stand in relation to them We go forward by struggles and victories and such strife is necessary to the pur- pose of life, as needful as the two mstones which grind the wheat the hammer and anvil between whi- oh the tool is tempered.
 In such trials at arms ignorance takes sides too quickly, and allegiance often to obstnacy and prejudice than to judgment Yet wider knowledge may bring danger by urging compromise and leaving no enthusiasms or convictions for which we will live and die. Beyond such lukewarm caution there lies real conviction where vision rises above the smoke and dust of the and clearly and sngy the essential goal at stake
 Such visionaries, who see not merely both sides of question but also the greater principles to which it refers become leaders, These lift up standards which we may dedicate our strength and our sword These must have if strife is to find the short est way to peace and if to be spared the long struggles for unworthy victories and the old habits of blind hate and destructon.-Cordova Daily Times.

FRIDAY. APRIL II, 1886
NO pRIyACYFoR CORPORATIONS

The Allied Chemical and Dye Cor
poration has filed suit in the United
States circuit court of appeals to
have the securities and exchange act
of 1884 declared unconstitutional. OF
the FIVE reasons" which the COM
pany gives for this action, only two
are worth considering Allied Chem
ical alleges that the constitution of
the United States gives congress no
power to regulate the exchange Of
securities. But above all and beyond
all, Allied Chemical cries aloud that
the SEC is trying to pry into the cor
porations secrets, and would publish
it's private affairs to the world.
1t is about time for congress to
declare that a corporation has no
secrets or private affairs; and to
make that declaration good A cor
poration is an agency created by pub
lie fiat. Without the favoring will
of public authority, no corporation
could exist. The people have right
to insist that the books and records
Of their creature shall be wide open to
inspection by public authorities.
1t is time, too, to remind the busi-
ness world that when public authority
creates a corporation, it does SO in
the expectation of publ c benefits.
These often do not materialize; more
often still they are charged for at
extortionate rates. The least that
sensible public can demand Of cor
poration is assurance that the pub
lie will not be gypped in the future
as it has been gypped in the past, and
that requires pitiless publicity for all
corporation affairs.
As for the quibble that the consti-
tuition does not give congress author
ity to regulate securities exchanges
when every such exchange lives on.
interstate patronage, one need only
say that another amendment to the
constitution would seem to be very
much in order. The pretension Of fed
eral courts to set aside acts demand
ed by the people, passed by congress
and signed by the president, never
rested on any basis but usurpation,
which is fast becoming intolerable.

demic of wage slashing in industry
is making business conditions more
difficult, and the RFC must not per
mt itself to be used as a bludgeon

Every citizen can endorse Mr.. Edel-
mans demand that the RFC throw its
influence against wage cutting. The
RFC was formed to deal with the
evil effects Of 'dehation' policies, of
which wage cutting was the most
vicious. For it to do anything now
that tends to encourage pay cuttings

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The depression is getting in its work
in what scientists call a delayed re-
action. Science, public ad, philanthropy
and the devotion of social workers
shielded the babies from the depres
sion for a time; but the effects of
needless poverty are beginning to be
seen.
Rudyard Kipling was a citizen of
the British Empire to the last. His
will shows that. He provides for his
wife and his relatives; but if his
daughter dies without children, the
Kipling estimate goes to the Canadian
and Australian branches of the Fair
bridge Farm Schools, to which Kip
ling contributed generously during
his life.
The fortune thus disposed of is no
vast one; about 100000 in Amer
lean money; more than enough for
comfort and security, with luxury and
travel beside. BY comparison with
! some fortunes in England and many
| in America, it is pittance. But it
serves to show once more how loose
is the relation between service and
reward.
Kipling gave pleasure to more peo-
pie than any other writer of his time.
More than 3,50O,0O0 copies of his
books had been sold in the United
States down to the end of 1884; and his
royalties from this country alone are

as great one.

New York city has in Langdon w.
Post tenement house commissioner
who believes in telling the truth
about housing, and telling it so it can
be understood He told the young
woman's organization of the Wom-
ems National Republican Club that
six square miles of Manhattan Island
are covered with slums or old law
tenements.
BY ''old law tenements," Mr.. Post
means those built before the year 1900,
when light and air were considered
luxuries, and hundreds of acres were
covered with tenements which pre-
sent laws would not allow to be built.
But, being built, they stand. Contin-
uing his bent for plain speaking, Mr..
Post said that 78 per cent of the
tenements constructed before 1900 are
still standing, and still housing people
who cannot afford anything better.

rural slums as we'll No achievement

100 infants out of every 1000 born
in the states which kept track of such
things, died before the end of their
first year. That was already much
lower than it had been before; but in
1882, it was down to 576 out of every
900. In statistical phrase, the infant
mortality of the registration area OF
the United States was 57.6.

Let's hope this one is a good one.

i #
But why does a campaign have to
be SO much like big murder trial,
in which the foxiest lawyer wins out ?
Why can't we demand that we
have a scholarly review of the
facts, and then why can't we pass
a dignifed Judgment?
Well, part of the answer is that
we still love the circus.
We like a good show.
We like to see the animals jump
through hoops of fire and we like to
hear the old calliope go whistling
down the street like a steamed-up
madhouse.
So, ladies and genmun, we are
about to have campaign.
And you can't take it or leave it.
There will be no place to leave it.
