Several citizens have ex pressed disappointment inl the size of the gun, but . perhaps its history, when : written up: will compensate for .what it lacks in size. - At any rate we should not "look the gift gun in the mouth." Tbe News is glad the gun is here, and that, its mouth is so large, and that it is close to the office.- If certain contempora ries do not stop monkeying with the tail of our, comet, and cast ing inuendos about -the. size o! our eggs, r we will - load. ; this engine of war with tomatoes and potatoes, and turn her loose in the ; direction of Shelby - and Newton .,, i Great Ilesace to Cur Pulllc an J " Private Morality la the Modern Business Corporation Need of :: Cdocatlnf ' Individual Con science. . A AmocUK acforaud Presbyterian. In the business methods of to day the' individual is largely lost sight of. His personality is merged in a fictitious personality. created by law, in whose name business is conducted t or ; it is swallowed up iu some union through ' which labor seeks to protect itself against corporate wealth. - Organization is ' tbe order, as it has become a necessi ty, Of our present day civiliza tion. Colossal enterprises, such as the construction of railways and canals and tbe furnishing of great cities with water, light and transportation, are planned, financed and executed by power ful corporations, in which men of - great wealth and : business capacity work together, As we would not give up the advan tages which accrue to the public through such corporate activity and go back to the ways of form er days, so sure is it that we shall not put an end to that corporate activity, through which . the advantages accrue. ,;T Along with these benefits of corporate ' activity nave come evils and abuses, well known and well nigh as ; colossal, as the benefits themselves. Ex tortion, graft, rebates.' suppres sion of competition, the anarchy of labor disturbances it is a long, dark catalog. .: . These evils it is not proposed to discuss particularly. But it a worth while. to put the finger on a common characteristic of them all, through which we , may per haps ; discover the - underlying evil principle and even get a suggestion ot the way to a rem-; edy. And that common fact is the merging of personal responsi bility, so that the individual loses sight of himself as a moral agent and gives countenance to cor porate acts , an-i methods to which, acting singly, he would not stoop. The ring gets its hand in the public purse and divides , the.;. spoils; : the r trust crushes competition and extorts, fabulous profits from the public; the labor union makes heroes of assassins; the mob, murders the criminal, real or supposed. And yet; the individuals composing ring and trust, union and mob, are not robbers and assassins. In. individual life they , may , be men of high principle and even of Christian profession ; - but in taking corporate action they merge individual in corporate responsibility. And "corpora tions have no souls"; , they may therefore act soullessly, irre sponsibly,' immorally such is the reasoning. This is the old principle of going with a multitude to do evil. It is in t this instance ag gravated in its ; manifestation, however, by the enormous exag geration of the evils perpetrated, by the reduction , of the partici pating' multitude to , its lowest terms, and by the element of cool calculation which : always enters in. -V.---' :-V; Of this matter it should not be necessary to say that there is in morals no such process as merging individual moral : re sponsibility. .Every moral act of a body is the act of each indi vidual forming; f the J ; body. Every member of a mob that commits murder is a :' murderer. Judge Landis was right in class ing oil magnates with common robbers and ; counterfeiters. Woodrow Wilson was right in prescribing personal im prisonment instead of corporate fines as a remedy for such evils. Corporation : :, ethics do not differ, from individual ethics. Accountability is in the nature of tbe case individual.- The at tempt to uicrce in morals is it self immoral, and it brings forth fruit after its kind. Tbe individual may not be able to control corporate conduct, but he can control his own be can get out iof f a, body whose methods and acts are immoral. .The individual and the public conscience uted educating in these simple principles of ethics. They have their, bearing on a vast field of conduct to which they have been too little applied. Corporations would do well to learn tbe lesso.i before an out raged public be driven to action revolutionary and hurtful. And al an incentive to diligence aud dispatch in learning it we know of nothing better than the im posing of adequate personal pen alties on the members of , guilty corporations.
