Misplaced Prejudice (By A. Porter). Wo should guard our prejudices and see they are excited by right motives, rather than ignorant envy and directed against the enemies of our best interests rather than against our best in terests. Notice just how that one word prejudice is used by Abraham Lincoln in his warning to the American people of the results of enthroned corporation. Prejudice assumes many phases. It varios in its results according to the diircrcnt conditions and dispositions in which it is the motivo power. It lays its corner stone whore ambition failed to lay hors. So any industrial peo ple's ambition is to rise above their surroundings, and they are not more interested in actually rising, as they are in lowering thoir surroundings. The author of corporation conspiracy, in stead of seeing the rise of hu manity to harmony and prosper ity in the merits of honest co operation discovered by taking a stono from beneath the feet of their neighbor and placing it on top of the one on which they stood they had lowered their neighbor one stone and risen ono stone themselves, thereby gaining a double advantage over their neighbor, or rather the American people; for they have taken every stone of industrial opportunity from beneath our feet and forced us to wallow in the mire of despair, dangling at the ends of their strings to be towed about at their will or dance to the pain of their hook in our eye. for the laboring masses, witn little exception, can see nothing but wages, and to get thorn to see any ol the self re ant principles on the side of lion est co-onoration is impossinle. This inhuman treatment has naturally prejudiced m against our tormuntor. The armies o solicitors have been the strings dangled towards us.ollering only baited hooks.and we have tmlur ally become prejudiced ugains the solicitor. This is miHplnccc prejudice. The solicitor, lik the laborer, is only the string the hand, or control, of the tor mentor. Our prejudice shouli bo entirely against the lack o proper protection for the snial investor in co-oneration laws Wo should aim our prejudice more against the wrong than the perpetrators of wrong. The wrongdoer may sometimes be oxcusable. but the wrong never is. When man extinguishes wrong thoro is always a right to lie embraced. There is a right corporation system that has power to take the stones from bonuath the feel of tyranny am place thorn under the feet of the laboring people, and by the munns of the despised solicitor wo must w n the commence o the oxcoptionnl few that can (lis linguist! the right from the wrong, and by. placing a solii foundation under their feet, demonstrate to the general pub lie tiio safe, just, prosperous methods of honest co-operation and thus loach the laborer to em-) Draco ngiu ami ioivo ine lyraui to embrace right. When humanity realize that the unjust triumph over our fel low man, and the courted honors wo call laurels from an individ ual's point of view, are our fail urort, and dolmstw from a univer sal no nt of view: when pub ic sontimont touches man that ma- tor al ga in is not longer conuid orod a laurel, but that the only laurel rocognixed is man s ear noat effort to see cause am effect, and ovorrulo with an eye effort is either directly or indi rectly under the control of the trusts. To compete with co-operation we must handle business in large quatities, and to do so we must co-operate. Prejudice against co-operation Hall Transfer & Storage Com pany. T. O.

Was it not pro judiuo on tho part of promoters luminal allowing the people the control of their aggregated money that Iihh returned in our indtutritil and political evil? Surely tho renults tv a rebuke to misplaced prejudice. How many people realize that it was tho people s own nu ustria IH'Ojudico ngninst allowing the maftsoj ot i)eoi)le to control thoir invofltmont by majority vote that nuulo it ixmsiblw for promo tors, by taking advantage of that projudlco, to center control in tho few, responsible to no one. It may be necessary to center tho managomont of an industry in the hands of leadens, but those loaders should be responsi ble to tho people, whose money thoy aro handling. Tho J)9-Yoar System gives oropor freedom to managors, but also gives tho people proper control of tho managers. It is perfected for tho protection of tho peoplo far in excess of any co-operation systom that has over preceded it. Many peoplo allow thomsolvos to bo prejuuicod against co-opor-ation.
