W. H. Pfelfer, Polacca, Ariz. 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.

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. Pardon mo for stat
ing that, in my opinion, you should
not rest until you nave reached the
million mark. Thousands of your
readers will help gl&qly. Such a sub
scription list would only be a proper
reception testimonial to William J
Bryan on his return home. I am
pleased to send you eighteen new subscriptions.

D. L. Braucher, Lincoln, 111. 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."
