Our contemporary's comment on one 0 t
the real amid great abuses which too mam1 r
pf time courts , both federal and state , bav
hong encouraged , Is timely , TIme time cami
long ago whoa the judicial tribunals tha
exercise jurisdiction in time matter of ru

less generous view of the compensation tiui

ilciarles of iifo insurance policies , to owner :
of stocks or bonds in railroad atmd manu
facturing companies , and to the creditor :
of other corporations have been wreste
from them to pay extravagant salaries an 0
enormous allowances to receivers.
We do not know anything about the con

to have been expected is that the imprea
