I see, according to the papers, thai the pack ers have raised the point that they ,can not he compelled to testify In a' criminal charge against themselves. They have so long accustomed them selves to the idea that they are "it," that it is not surprising when they assert that they are "it" tile corpor ation. On page 39, Smith's Elemen tary Law, he defines a corporate in stitution as hody corporate to he "a collection of individual persons" bo organized "that a legal personality re sults distinct from the member's that compose it." On page 265 he defines "a corporation" to be "an artificial person, created by law and having Un individuality distinct from the mem bers that compose it, its powers being- limited to those1 granted to it by the law by which it is created." Clark, in treating of the power of cor porations to contract, on page 192 (Clark Contracts) says: "It can not act through one or any number of its members merely as such, for though, they compose the corporation, they are not the corporation. It must act through an agent exprOssly authoriz ed to act for it. Now the corpora tion is a distinct artificial personality, and can act only through agents. The corporation acts. . Therefore it can give testimony; and since it is a per son in law and can act only tnrougn an agent, It can give testimony through that agent against anyone not itself, and hence can give testimony against an agent, though that agent be the testifier, and the testimony incrimin ating against himself. I can't see how the point raised can be sustained. " i A. K. Grow, -Hamilton, Mont. I no tice, with some alarm, that our good brother, Mr. Stonyfeller (I think that is the name) has removed himself surreptitiously or otherwise, ffoin the visible presence of the public. The question that worries me Is, whether he was able to take with him nis Bible and his Sunday school class, Which, I am told, was a great cpnsol-atio-n and a iov forever as it were from . the strenuousness of great worldiy cares. F. F. Fritz, Towner, N. D. Please find enclosed a clipping from the Minneapolis Tribune of January 31, i-no-ovUnrr n rertiifit.inn of the narcel postage. Now will you explain if this is not a good measure for the bene fit of the greatest number of people concerned, even if the wholesalers and retail men do protest to a reduc tion of postage on parcels. Why then, are they howling about the express companies charging "such high rates? Mirmtfonnlln Tribune. Minn. W. J. Rouleau, business manager of the St. Paul Trade Tournal, -returned yester day morning from Washington where he filed with Congressman Stevens, for presentation to the poslofflce and post roads committee of congress, a petition -containing the names of a majority of the general merchants, wholesale merchants and manufactur ers of the northwest, protesting against the enactment by congress of any form of parcels post .legislation that will tend to lessen the cost of transportation of merchandise through the mails. The petition, as presented by Mr. Rouleau ana filed with the committee, is as follows: "St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 23, 190C To the Honorable r the Congress of the TJnited States: "Whereas, There has been recom mended for consideration and action by your honorable body, legislation providing for the consolidation of the third and fourth classisof mail mat ter, and the transmission of the same at a less cost than now .h provided for by lax; .and "Whereas,-We are profoundly Im pressed by the knowlodgo that, such legislation would prove inimical to tho best interests of tho people of tho United StateB as a whole and to tho retail merchants, wholesale merch ants, manufacturers and others en gaged in commercial traffic, particu larly, and, in our opinion, based upon experience, would work great hard ship upon and place tho above men tioned interests at great disadvantage In the pursuit of their business call ing, by favoring centralized interests in the shipment of merchandise di rect to consumers through the mails; now, therefore, "We, the undersigned, general mer chants, wholesale dealers and manu facturers of the United States, do hereby humbly petition your honor able body not to enact any law that will admit of the institution by the government of a parcels post, so called, or any law that will in any way tend to reduce "the present cost of transportation of merchandise through tho mails." J. R. Sullivan, Belvidere, Jll. I would suggest another "Commoner Day" in the near future, The net results to you. are practically the same as derived from your clubbing offer known as "lots of five," but it gives the solicitor a better chance to push the work.

I note in your last Issue you quote Ingalls on ''opportunity" with Dooley's com panion piece. Each, in its way, Is very good, but for the question aris ing in one's mind as to the inspiring cause of Mr. Ingalls effusion. I think it was written about the time he was installed into the graft department of tho United States government, com monly known as "the senate" or "up per house,' of congress; but, perish the thought: that such a grand, effu sion could possibly be inspired by ''oportunities for graft." W, H. Allen, 710 Franldln Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. In his last message to congress, President Roosevelt, re ferring to the financial situation at tributed the money stringency to our Inelastic currency. Mr. Roosevelt's equipment for -dealing with financial problems is pretty plainly shown in the following editorial from the New York Evening Post: "When lords take to literature, It has been said, they ought to be ac curate, but no such obligation rests upon a president enlightening and captivating tho south. Otherwise, it would be necessary to say something severe of Mr. Roosevelt's statement yesterday: 'It was the cotton crop of the south that brought $400,000,000 of foreign gold into the United States last year.' Just to record the facts, we may state that the total amount of foreign gold brought In last year was $53,637,862; and, as we exported in the same period gold to the amdunt of $92,594,024, we were just $38,965, 162 to the bad. The president was only $438,956,162 out of the way." J. B. Gibson Elmore, L T. Find enclosed a list of subscribers to your paper taken Saturday evening after I closed the bank.
