EUGENE E. PRUSSIG, an eminent lawyer of Chicago, recently delivered an address An enrnnrata rofnrma hpfnro tie national civic conference on trusts and combinations that de- 1 serves the attention, of all makers of laws and moulders of opinion. was delivered at the height of the - panic, which he said was a "corpora tion panic," and "is greater than any , disturbance of the financial '. world ' since the bursting of the South sea bubble 200 years ago." . Tet , should have surprised no one, for "from the day of Bryan's first de feat and the election of McKinlev. ' successive debauches of promotion and resulting fits ot Indigestion of i securities have gradually weakened tha, people's resources and confi dene. . . The $29,240,000 fine . Is comparable in its- effect to the blast of Gabriel's trumpet. It opened all tha graves, and there is walling and gnashing of teeth. . . The separation of the sheep from the goats by the people is now going on." Mr. Prussjg praised the cor porate idea, but said It had been greatly abused, and there was need of tne greatest publicity and the i strictest regulation of corporate af- . fairs compatible with practical op eratlon. A corporation, as between Its managers and its stockholders, is simply a trust. In the legal sense, and It is or should be so as between the corporation and the public. .:-:A corporation should be created only on a petition filed in a local court, setting fo'rth Its purposes in . Entail an. tKo eUta'o ffni.nav should attend the vhearing in behalf of the people...' Similar proceedings should be had on everyj proposed . change of - the "amount of capital stock or Investment in other corpor ate stock or . property; The manage ment should be 'under 'strict super vision, and .should noube left to a ingle body: of directors' or officers. The stockholders should have an actual voice v in fhe v corporation's control, and ' 1t should- always ;. be tinder Judicial control. Mr. Prusstg went Into detail td j Illustrate bis roeaning, and compared corporate control In this country arid "abroad, showing that we are far behind other countries In-this respect .Surplus xni'.'.t, frier the payment.oi reasQn principles of the party." What have they to do with, or how do they op erate with regard to control of rail roads, inland waterways. Improved rivers and harbors, government own ership of coal lands, revision of the tariff, checking of the power of the plundering trusts, or any other live, up-to-date Issue before the people toe day? What has "basic party prin ciples" to do with land frauds, rob bing the state school fund, taxation of franchises, extirpation of gam bling, regulation of streams, or any thing else in which the voters of Oregon have a present lively inter est? All these Republicans who ever voted for a Democrat or in any wise opposed the machine and the bosses are said to be "shapes of men with souls of geese." And thia insult is flung at them because they have be come tired of Doodling, and grafting, and deception, and corrupt trading for offices and spoils; tired of the leaders and officeholders and cor rupters and dlsgracers of this state who have flourished-- here for 30 years. Votaro would be far more deserving of being called "geese" If they did not revolt acalnst these things, and if they should now all "fall in line" and "stand shoulder to shoulder" for the revival' of a party ring and the rehabilitation of the party machine. Tiere Is no better citizenry in this country than the rank and .file of Oregon Republicans. 'They have steel in no form could benefit the Americans, the greatest builders in the world." xet we suppose tne same paper can '.'point with pride" and is ready to hurrah for the highest protection 1st in the country if he should be come a candidate for president. The Journal takes pleasure in re printing and commending these sen tences from an editorial in its morn ing contemporary. But to those who do not read that paper it Is necessary to say. that what is quoted below Is contradicted and combatted dally at far greater length: "The day has passed in this country wlren the people can be led by the nose to the shearing pen. Henceforth and forever let ua hope, the men who do the work and create the wealth of the nation are .going to rule it, and political success can be won only by sincere devotion to the interest of the great public.

He rested on a flowery bank Beneath the fluttering trees. Assumed a thoughtful attitude. His elbows on his knees. , His tiny brows, with dainty grac. Were puckered in a frown. For dire disgrace had threatened Thi. imn nt wide renown. It seems the style of darts had changed since hundred years ago And Cupid found to his dismay mat nis ware an tou siuw.
