Standing for It. By J. Campbell Cory. Row, New York Puiteded by the Press Pudtiehing Company, No, 6 to @ Park io Poat-Office at New York as Second-Cinse Mall Matter, offices of a Mrs, W. E, Corey divorce from the Presi- Jent of the Steel Trust, } The spectacle of the plaintiff in tears on receiving her decree carries its own comment. Though the di- vorce is granted to the wife, it is the husband who gains a freedom jong sought and by unenviable means. Having now finally suc-} ceeded in discarding the wife of his youth, he is at liberty to pursue the he is said to cherish and with which her do- He may now enjoy to has secured a “society ambitions” which miestic inclinations are alleged to have interfered. Th in which comic-opera stars scin- j ez the full that “higher social atmosphere” tillate and to which the Delmonico dinner celebrating the verdict was a | fitting prelude | Ordinarily with the decree granted and the released husband begin- Ming his “new life” interest ceases and the episode is dismissed as closed. But the Corey divorce case is something more than a subject for court’ record and momentary newspaper chronicle It is a matter of public concern. The man who has gained his free- dom at the price of his reputation is not a private citizen, but the execu- tive head of the country’s greatest business corporation. He js a public character occupying an office which carries with it moral obligations of | the gravest kind The example of Pittsture nersonal morality which Corey has set cannot but react on his work as an executive. It must inevitably influence public opinion unfavorably. : Are the men who control the Steel Trust ready to stand for It? Can they afford to give it the indorsement of their tacit approval? No doubt it would be absurd to ask for certificates of moral char- acter in connection with steel-making. But at least it should be required of the head of the mammoth company whose relations with the public fare so wide-ramifying that he should have a character above the re- | proach which the Corey divorce proceedings have cast on its President. PATERSON’S OPPORTUNITY, Citizens of Paterson, sensitive about its reputation, are said to regret | the act of ‘the defaulter Belcher ‘in giving himself up to justice. They fear the notoriety his trial will give the city by reviving national recollec- tion of the half-forgotten misdeeds for which he became a fugitive, and they foresee Paterson again held up to public view in an unflattering | ‘These apprehensions seem groundless. What better opportunity to | fedeem its reputation could the city ask than that which is now pte- sented? “The nation is familiar with the quality of Jersey justice. All| that is needed is a direct and immediate application of that justice in this | instance. This will do more to correct unfavorable impressions than any amount of public protest or any number of libel suits, : ’s Daily Magazine, Wednesday, August I, 1906.
