If It be true, as reported, that |
Una] actiou by the federal court au- ;
thorizing procedure of the receiv
ers of tbe Chicago, llock Island & !
Pacific road against directors1
chargcd with wrecking thg road, '
>vua >lue to the weight Of
argument of a brief submitted by
former President William H. T.u't,1
it is tc be said that he seldom
did a better service for his country
men, sa%s an Eastern exchange, j
Evasion ai responsibility to in
vestors, plus conservation of per- j
Sonal Interests and rapid growth of
fortunes through manipulations of
funds owned by stockholders, make
up au indictment which men of hon
or hasten to refute formally and
lu court. But lacking such
vcluctary action by men so charged
with betrayal of stewardship, it is
impossible for the courts to sanction
condonation of the offense. K
ceivers, who supposabiy represent |
tt? court and through It societ>
must act. Why it should be con
sidered optional or need any formal
weighty argument to convince a
cour' that it must so decree, it is
difficult to see, assuming a re
ceivership that is square.
(.ommeuung on me uisi.ii. tues in
thb Interstate commerce commis
siou as to the manner iu which thiS
prosperous property during thirteen
years ot control by certain men was
trau^iormed from a steady produc
er o' dividends into a property with
an actual deficit or .$11,600,000,
while claimiug a nominal surplus of
ubcut $t),i>00,u00, the Bellman of
Alinneapolia truly says: "The- tacts,
incredible as they seem, surpass
all fiction. N'o pirate story *vcr
equalled this bald narrative of
liuta. Such methods as thtse are
til- shame and disgrace of the
country." The Bellman is a con
servative, anti-muckraking journal
but it speaks for a large middle
ho.ly of citizens of the United States
whj are not fanatics, who are nut
hostile to wealth is such, who are
capitalists of the old school, and
who believe iu execution of law
against all offenders. They wel
come the test which prosecution of
this case will give to see whether
ths exploiting of railroad properties
by owners of large holdings of se
curities, wlto buy control for specu
lative purposes, has any real basis
of Illegality, or whether it is to be
condoned by the courts and by the
business world. A decisive ans
wer oce way or th; other will clear
the air. Citizens and lawmakers will
kuoy what to do after the courts
bavs exposed the facts In this case
and have made the decision, wheth
er lax cr rigorous.
"Whenever or wherever it has
been made clear that bank direct
ors must direct, and must be held
legally as well as morally account
able fcr their use of their steward
6hip, the banking standards of a
state or a nation have improved.
Sizrilar consequences will undoubt
edly follow use of like discipline iu
Industry and transportation. If
hoctr, sense of duty, conscience
and the code of ethics of the best
men in a line of business will not
cheek a steward's covetousness or
oar him from usiasc official power
for rerecaial gain, then society, act-(
ins through the courts, has to
Bteo in. The Bellman is quite right
lu gaying that the case Is typical,
bu*- not o£ the best or even of a ma
jority of the railroads. The hon
est majority owe It to society to de
nounce the conduct of the speculat
ing gambling minority, lacking
wu.cn repudiation American rail
roading suffers in reputation every
where.
HARD TASKS.
Do not let a hard task discourage
you. To seek to do only the easy
things of life is a foolish and suicidal
choice, for anybody, even a nonen
tity, can do these things. Let us
care rather to do hard things, the
overcoming of which will bring us to
moral strength, a tested fortitude
and a wider experience of the deep
er meanings of human life.

The Signal
Of the Rose
A Girl Who Had Every
thing She Wanted
By AGNES G. BROGAN
David Bourne turned from the wild
commotion of the "pit," with Its babel
of high keyed voices, and passed out
Into the morning sunshine. "80 old
Richards has won again." Failure
seemed a word unknown to this wiz
ard in the world of finance. How did
he do It? What "god of fortune" wait
ed upon this great speculator, giving
him infallibly the proper cue? And
what new extravagance would this
later victory bestow upon Paula—
Paula, the daughter of whom her fa
ther so proudly boasted, "She shall
have everything she wauts?"
"The girl who has everything she
wants," Bourne thought of her now
as he strode along, and an inner light
passed over his features, erasing all
weariiless. It had been u mistaken kind
ness upon the part of the doting father,
carrying out tills humble clerk In his
employ to spend delightful days at his
famous home on the Hudson. Had it
been an Intentional kindness, David
wondered gloomily, or merely the Insa
tiable desire of the man to impress
another with his greatness? And the
daughter, who was beautiful, had also
been kind. David pictured her now
moving with a sort of stately dignity,
her little dusky head held high, her
rare and radiant smile. And sho had
done Justice to the generous advantage
of her training; her touch upon tho pi
ano was a Joy, her voice a charm to bo
remembered.
David sighed abruptly, "The girl
who has everything she wants." Ho
recalled hulf bitterly the luxury of
her surrouudlngs, the rich drai>ertes
which clung about her slender figure,
the little jeweled fingers—Paula Rich
ards, only daughter of the king of
finance—and he, David Bourne, loved
her. Sometimes ho had fancied a ten
derness In the girl's eyes upraised to
Serial No. 02488.
