TREITMEWT Of CORPORATIONS
Judge C*rv, ctiairman ot the board
of directors of the United States Steel
Corpora; ion, ?the "steel trmt,"? never
said a truer thing than he did when he
told an interviewer, in New York, that
there "has been a great change ot late
year? In the attitude of corporation* to
ward tne public and their employes."
He never said a wiser thing then be did
when be told th? tame newspaperman
mat "the time has passed (or tbe great
corporations to Iguore the public."
One of tbe hopeful signs of progress,
uot merely in the I'nited Suits but In
tbe drilled world, Is the growing con
sciousness of wealth and corporate
power that public welfare mutt be par
amount; that the general good must
always be superior to tbeinteresis, real
or apparent, of the few. Tbe responsibi
lities ofgreat riches and great influence
over the lives and fortunes of thou
sands of families are better understood
than they were a few years ago. and
less denied.
Corporations, especially, being crea
tures of the s ate ? legal persons owiog
their existence to the government, not
to nature? must be mantgid by men
who are williog to keep within the
bounds of law and equity. Any other
control is perilous. There is grave
danger in flouting public demands based
upou justice and sound policy. Such
folly leads to more vehement tad ag
gressive agitation which often exceeds
the limit* of fair play acd prudence.
When the corporations pay their just
abare of taxation: treat tbe puMIc as
they should, and attempt to obtain o?
special privileges which are denied the
man in the ordinary walk of life, tbey
will find their path a less bard ooe to
travel and their earnings almost as
great, after deducting the expenses in
curred in fighting to retain tbe unlaw
ful exactions they have obtained.

IT IS A FACT
The Skagwsy Alaskan io aiecent
Issue says:
"Odinarily ihe source is considered
by newspapers aod but scaai bred is
paid to newspaper 'knockers.' How
ever, to those patrocs of the paper
who appreciate what it is to get the
oews, a word or two io explanstion is
necessary . The Alaskan is at the pies
ent time pay ing more (or its telegraph
reports than has ever been paid by a
newspaper in Skagway before. It is,
at the same time, giving more local
and territorial news thau the people
have been accustomed to, and, all
in all, the Alaskan is a belter news
paper than it has been. This is not
said vaingloriously? it is a fact."
There is no doubt about it. The
Alaskan it 100 per cent better paper
than it ever was before, and the people
of Ska way should be patriotic enough
to give it their hbe:al patronage.? The
Juneau Kecord.
Keally, if the Record does not quit
saying nice things about us, we can't
help but like it.
The AluUan is in receipt of the in
Ilia! copjr of The Musher, a sma'l paper
published by the men of tbe Post at
Fort Seward. In the introductory the
editors say:
' Realizing that in this place, so ftr
from the homeland, that even amo-g
men armed with the most modern arms
tine is the hardest thing to kill, we
have launched ourselves upon the
storm; sea of journalism in hopes that
our feeble effort may help keep away
that dreadful and Irreaistible feeling
commonly called (he 'blues.' If we
succeed, our effort shall not have been
is Tain. If we fail we will have the
satisfaction of knowing that we did our
best to contribute to the contentment
and happiness of our fellows."
Tbe Alaskan is glad to welcome the
new pfcper and hopes that on the Alas
ka newspaper road tbe Musher may
shortly develop into a sprinter.
cTssie cTadIck
Mrs. Cassie Cbadwick, who, In the
vernacular of the money district*,
"ttimttid so many luokerl'1 out of
latjj? suffii of money thai the was Anal
ly forced to go to jail for doing o, has
become absolutely blind. The amounts
ihat Caul* is alleged to hare separated
confiding bankers from ran np into the
millions, but not much of it has ever
been recorered? in fact, no one ap
peared 'o know what she had done with
it. She had no money to speak of at
the lime of her arrest and ne*rly all of
her jewels were paste. Mrs. Chadwlck
did not do ooe whit more than a lot of
men who are trading in stocks are
doing today, but she got oaught. Cas
sie ui?y be blind aow, but when she
wis in her heyday, cijoling the bmkers
into loaning her money. It was the
bankers who were blind.
HE WAS THERE
Attorney A. A. Crane left on the
steamer Humboldt this morning on his
return to Idaho. Whatever his con
nection may be with the Pettibone,
Moyer and Haywood case, hi certainly
did not oome np here this time of the
year on a fishing excursion. Jack
Simpkins has a valuable timber claim
in the Coeur d'Alene worth $20,000,
principally on account of its white pine
timber. Simpkin's presence in Alaska
was known to A. A, Crane, who accord
ing to the record of the court, was act
ing as attorney for Simklns before in a
Umber land deal. Question: Did he
meet him to buy that timber ?
A. A. Crane left in a hurry and had
nothing to say. That Simpkins was
seen here we can prove by reliable
people.? Juneau Record.
Jack Simpkins is wanted in Idaho for
murder and there Is a reward of |7,
000 out for him, As told in The Alas
kan recently he was seen in Junea'j but
got away before he cou!d be appre
hended.
