THE CRIME AND THE MAN. DDRESSING the Phi Beta Kappa at the Uni- versity of California Gov. Woodrow Wilson said: “It should be recognized as a fundamental prin- ciple of our law in dealing with corporations that , though we call them artificial persons the only | persons we are really going to deal with in imposing the penalties of the law upon them are) the persons who constitute their directors and officers.” That principle cannot be too often asserted, nor too strongly enforced. It is the one principle that has enough of vigor in its, life to déal effectively with the violations of law by giant cor- porations, A corporation cannot of itself commit any act good or bad. There is always a man somewhere in authority responsible for every action. And experience shows that the surest way of prevent-| ing bad actions is to punish the authors of them. | Moreover, even the Supreme Court will probably concede the | principle to be reasonable. | ebe A SOUND DOCTRINE. AYOR GAYNOR, in a letter to a delegation of & marine engineers in the employ of the city, says: “You are subject to the laws and regulations which exist for the government of the city and its em- ployees. Anything counter to these laws and regu- lations on your part is insubordination which will not be tolerated.” (his is in line with the recent statement of President Taft that employees of the Federal Government should not be permitted to become affiliated with the Federated Trades or other labor organ- izations. | The doctrine is a sound one. It in nowise interferes with the tights of individuals, nor does it either directly or indirectly con- demn labor organizations. The employees of the city, the state or the nation cannot be permitted to act as the employees of private citizens or of corporations. Upon their service depends the opera- tion of public utilities of daily necessity. Strikes on their part would paralyze the social organism. Common sense as well as pa- triotism demands that he who serves the Government must serve it loyally and with a willing discipline, Any other creed would be anarchy. i i Ae MENTAL DELINQUENTS. ROM experiments that are to be made with a new system of treating juvenile defectives or mental delinquents in this city much good may be ex- pected. The venture is not wholly new, for it is said similar systems of treatment in certain Euro- pean cities have had good results in many ways. There is, therefore, ample reason to sustain the! hopes of those that are most sanguine of achieving in this way the difficult task of converting into useful and happy men and women some whose natural deficiencies seem to have destined them either to pauperism or to crime. ‘ There is an optimistic philosophy that teaches that nothing in the world was created uselessly, that every creature has some possi- bility of useful existence, that even a weed is merely @ plant for which we have not yet found a use. Perhaps this doctrine is too} sweeping in its hopefulness. But it is certain we have been wasting @ great deal of human material that with better care might have been saved. One of the best features of our advancing civilization is the increasing intercst taken in these waifs and strays. In hardly any other department of endeavor have we so much right to boast ourselves of what has been accomplished in the past and of what is| tc be attempted in the future.

TARBELL. Miss Tan bell ts the biographer of Standard Oil, the author of a classic life of Lin coln, one of the editors of the American Magazine; and one of the sanest, clearest woman thinkers this country has yct produced. rrr There are only American women, and they are num- dered by millions. “I see no one type on which to hang gen izations, The country is too big, too broad, One can only speak of @ majort'y, and the woman who is in the majority in America to-day the working woman. “The working woman, tf you like, may claim by force of number the | tétte of ‘THE’ American woman.” That was Miss Ida Tarbell's quie almost dif dent, summing up of the situation. “The point has been reached,” she continued, “where you and 1 and by far tne gr 6c Tom 1s no ‘American woman.’ ‘In the home or out of it we labor from eight to elghteen hours a day, And remember, we are the bulk of American women, even though we are the least conspicuous ones.” “And what characteristics specially distinguish the Amerfcan working wo man?" asked Marguerite Mooers Marshal, “She works hard," promptly responded Miss Tarbell. “Very often she works much too hard, just as her husband works too hard. It's something of an Ameri- can habit, and it certainly ls an American necessity in many cases. “The most important Job of the many undertaken by the modera American woman is that of homemaking. “There t# no achievement, literary, artistic—what you will—whte: a woman can perform that is of the same vital significance to the nation asa family of mentally, morally, physically healthy boys and girls. It ts the great natural job for the majority of us. “Others of our working women are serving the State in other ways, te sides Keeping themeelves economically independent.
