AORN ETTA TE ————— VOLUME 47...... ———<—_—_ principal is ending of MEN HIGHER UP. a crime has been committed the The HEN the man who should be punished. one Man-Higher Up-tothe yor to Sing Sing would do more good than the conviction of « score of subordinates. Sending Al Adams to Sing Sing broke up his systematized policy game, some- thing that the conviction of runners and slip sellers had failed to do. The conviction of one higher in- surance official, one high financler, one banker of dis- _finction, would-make-grand_larceny_more— unpopular than the crowding -of the State prisons with —clerks— and minor officials. Killing men, women and children, whether on pur- pose or only through negligence, is a crime, Ifson purpose it is murder. If through carelessness it is | manslaughter. In either case it is a felony, and every one who intluced or took part in the killing is guilty. A few days ago the New York Central Railroad | Company killed twenty-three persons. The heirs of “these_dead-people-will recover money damages from the New York Central corporation. The only penalty that can be inflicted upon a corporation is to make it pay money. ; ! “That is a well-recognized chance which the managers of the railroad systems have carefully figured out. They; find that it is cheaper to pay for the killing of a few people now! “ahd then than to reorganize their methodS so that the safety, the comfort | and the converiience of the public shall come first and the capitalization, | the dividends and the ticker shall become secondary.” = | | © The law does not provide for sending a corporation to jail because | & corporation fs Incorporeal and has no personality to put in a cell. But thé law does amply provide for the punishment of the officers of 4) whether of high or low degree, and for everybody in its employ who has been guilty of a crime, whether a president or engineer. — Hitherto It-has been the custom when there was.a-fatal-accldent-to+ arrest the engineer or motorman. If several people were killed the whole straint would-be-arrested-— If the-accldent —were-a-very-bad—“one-the- ) train despatchers, too, would be locked up. For the General Slocum _ disaster the captain was sent to jail. For the Park avenue tunnel wreck ~ the engineer was prosecuted. So habitual has become this custom thai _éven street car motormen are locked up when thete is a serious accident. ~ Of course. this arresting of the-minor-employees does.no- good. It oes not even make the accidents more expensive. So long as the -presi- _ dents and directors can offer up an engineer or a captain as sacrificial expiation by proxy, rallroad trains will continue to kill people, and old, out steamboats will -from-time-totime-fall-apart, — - ‘Coroner Schwannecke took the right course in directing that the president and directors of the New York Central should be held —re- Sponsible for the Woodlawn wreck. Among these directors are William Rockefeller, James Stillman, J. Pierpont Morgan, George F: Baker and several Vanderbilts. 5 Some of them are men who are high up in the life insurance ——=scandals; “They are high up in the banking world. They are backers of “the Wall street gambling game. Back of the ticker, back of the syndi- cates and promotions, back of the minor -officinls of. the New Yor's Cen stand these powerful men.

For Méfe were scandalous stories aftcat-of the— youthful Prince Henry's misdeeds and ‘he was known to keep doubtful company. Morcover, there could be no doubt that his father, King Henry iV., disliked and disapproved of hin. England was {n a somewhat troubled tondition at best. Edward TL had outlived his brave son, “The Black Prince,” The latter's weak, M- advised ton, Richard II., hnd succeeded Edward. During his reign the plain people had suffered, and affairs In general had gone wrong until bis cousin, Henry, Duke of Lancaster, ¢.ad headed a rebellion which doposed Richary and put Lancaster himscif on the throne under the ttle of Henry IV. Even; then-matters-were not much more settic Uprisings-occurred-in-many- pt the-provinces-and-the new King was hept. busy putting gown these fnsur sections, In--1490,-when—hts-etdest-son, thn —witd Prince Henry, wes bit thirteen, Wales rebelled, led, by a Welsh nobleman named Owen Glendower, The thirteen-year-old Prince, who-had {rom childhood been trained as ® soldier, was put-in command of an expedition to crush the revolt. Here he recelyed the one serious sethack of his life, for Glendower gave the boy prince and his army a sound beating. Three years afterward he retrieved his reputation. The Earl of North umberiand rose against Henry IV, At the battle of Shrewsbury, 1403, in \ which the rebellion was completely put down, the } Prince distinguished himself in splendid fashion, ‘Then, it is sald, followed a period of dissipation and mad-escapades of yartoun kinds. At twenty-one he © again proved his military skill by leading a second, and this time a succesafu), expedition-against Glendower. The youth's courage, his bright, genial personality and even his wildness made him the popular Idol of England. “His father, who was none too well loved, openly showed his jealousy of thic eldest son of his. Altogether Ife at court was made,none too pleasant for the Prince. Henry IV. died five years later, leay~ Prince” came to the throne under the title of Henry V. Now, in an hour, his character underwent a marvellous change. His dissoluto habits and companions sere cast aside and Houry made ft clear to all that he was destined to be a, strong and progressive sovereign. His first act was to claim the French crown. Later he compromised by demand- $ng of King Charles VI. of France all the French territory that England had once held and of which du Guesclin and others had deprtved her.
