The court is the,rod by which the law hopes to obtain obedience from its soulless child under the fear of chas-| tisement. And this corporation-child early in its legal life sets about with what cunning it possesses or can purchase to make the rod as painless as possible. | This filial depravity is explained by the fact that the cor poration has no soul, a curious ref n of the axiom that the whole is equal to the sum its part A corporation | made up of human beings, each with a bedy and soul, but in their totality as a corporation they are soull | What becomes of the souls in the prenatal evolutions of| the corporations must be left to the ingenuity of the mathema tician who deals in psychological numbers and quantiti } But by whatever the process, the corporation is born from law's dic tates.

If a corporation or a set of corporations lift up a man from inversely and dictating the ranks of law to the supreme bench, is it presumable that they do so simply out of their good nature, and with no expectations of remuneration? And remember that corporations are soulless. Admitting that these justice-clevating corporations ex- pect some return for their time, labor and money, what is this recompense most likely to be? The only commodity that a court has is its decisions. And we have seen a decision handed down by a member of our own supreme court which was written | by the attorney for a contending corporation against an individ: | wal. As long as judges are human and corporations unhuman, such a premise as we have set forth is possible, and if the premise be admitted the conclusion is inevitable. And as long | as the premise is possible, no investigation of charges bearing | ‘on the conclusion is wrong.
