THE INCORPORATION
OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
A writer in the Atlantic has some
fresh and sensible ideas about cor
poration control.
We have come to think that cor
poration laws cannot be too liberal,
that the corporation as such is one
of the “inalienable rights.” We must
return to the original conception of
a corporation, as a special privilege
that must be carefully limited and
made subservient to the common
good. If, and so far as, it proves dis
astrous to society, to the individual,
its existence or its powers, the cor
porate powers of the persons control
ling it, can and should be destroyed.
The true remedy lies in remedial and
penal laws; laws, that are self oper
ating, limiting the formation and
powers of corporations and their of
ficers and majority stockholders;
laws of corporate management that
can be enforced in the courts at the
suit of the Government or of indi
viduals; laws that clearly define and
adequately punish and remedy the
wrongs incident to corporate rela
tions. The remedy less govern
ment, and not government; restric
tion, and not extension of its abused
powers.
WISE WORDS.
You can teach your child knowl
edge; he can teach you wisdom.
Were only one baby in each year
born into the world the whole world
would flock to worship it.
School may develop your child's
brain, but good manners can be
taught only at home.
The best way to keep your child’s
heart tender and pure is to fill it with
love from your own.
Children are most apt to be naugh
ty when they have naught to occupy
themselves with.
The thought of "mother” has with
held many a man and woman from
crime. Ee sure that your children
possess that safeguard.
A child does not know that steal
ing sugar is wrong; he does know
that hatred of his brother is so. En
lighten him in the first case and com
fort him in the second.
The man who is heard to make
light of his friends’ troubles rarely
refrains from swearing at his own.
The most perplexing problem to a
small boy is his big brother’s admira
tion for a girl who can’t throw a
curve to save her life.
One of the futilities of existence to
a small boy is the compulsory wash
ing of hands before dinner when they
don’t look dirty.
The angelic aspect of a girl in
church when she thinks the young
unmarried minister is looking at her
is enough to rouse the envy cf a
saint.
Odd how surprised a perfectly j
truthful girl can look at a man’s sud
den appearance in the dimly lighted
parlor when she has recognized his
footsteps a block away.
It is against the principles of some
people ever to borrow anything but
trouble.
Many a woman prides herself on
what she calls her nervous energy
and her friends designate as her fid
gety ways.
There are generous people—and
there are people who can say how
generous they would be if they had
money.
Many a child spanked by a mother
who professes to have been a youth
ful angel wonders how a disposition
could have changed so radically with
the flight of time. —New York Tele- |

The Wise Eskimos.
Everything in the Eskimo dress has
a reason for its existence, writes Cap
tain Roald Amundsen, in “The North
west Passage.” The members of
Captain Amundsen’s expedition had
become accustomed to the Eskimo
dress, and had adopted it, but many
of them thought it ridiculous for
grown-up men to go about wearing
fringe to their clothes, so they cut
it off.
I had my scruples about this, says
the author, as I had already learned
that most things in the Eskimo’s
clothing and other arrangements had
their distinct meaning and purpose,
so I kept my fringe and put up with
the ridicule.
He laughs best who laughs last.
One fine day the anovaks, a sort of
tunic reaching below the knee, made
of deerskin, from which the fringes
had been cut off, commenced to curl
up, and if the fringe had not been
put on again quickly, they would soon
have looked like neckties.

WHAT WIFE SAYS “GOES,"
Rut It Sometimes is Bad For the
t
Painting.
When a pfopertv-owner knows
nothing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the
painter. It would not be so if the
property-owner would always hire a
skilled painter and then really leave
everything Jo him. But the house
owner so often fools himself on one
or the other of these things.
The skilled painter in every com
munity has some of the most incom
petent competitors that ever vexed a
conscientious workman or contractor,
and the incompetents get jobs gener
ally by working cheap. In the next
place, when the skilled painter is
hired, they do not leave everything
to him, as so many property-owners
boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painter’s hurrying the work.
“I’m not going to have this painter’s
mess around my house a month,” the
"wife says, and what wife says goes—
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: “That painter’s
neglecting this work—guess he’s side
tracking me for Jones’ work. I won’t
stand it.”
What chance does a painter have to
do good work for a man who is con
tinually nagging at him and othei
wise handicapping him (without
meaning it, of course)? A poor job
is the inevitable result of such inter
ference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money—don’t forget that. It might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul
terants, which National Lead Cos. are

A Baltimore grand jury has recom
mended that the Legislature take ac
tion to limit he loan shark abuse.
Last year, relates the Indianapolis
News,' Massachusetts —prompt in good
works —dealt the business a hard blow
by a law. making validity of an as
signment of wages depend, first, on
the written consent of the employer,
and, in the case of married men, on
the consent of the wife. The accept
ance must then be filed and record
ed. Aiding this law in its tendency
to reduce the practice, the general
policy of large corporations in the
State is against assignment of wages,
some of them making it cause for
dismissal. The Massachusetts law,
while it does not cope with all of the
evils of the situation, does away with
some of the worst ones.
