1 Hv iVf 'V "sssit! 1 1 Governor Wilson 8ajs We Must 8end 1 Man Behind the Gun" to Jail. Detroit, Mich E. Miller sends the following from Sea Girt, N. to the Detroit News: If Gov. Woodrow Wilson evvr becomes President of the United States his message on the subject of trust busting will come to congress with the decisive emphasis of the rifle shots which echo through his library from the range as you sit in conversation with him in the state executive summer home here.

They will if the governor retains the opinions he now holds on illegal things done by the people characterized by Mr. Roosevelt as malefactors of great wealth. Governor Wilson is no hope less despondent. He disagrees utterly With those who believe the law cannot be made to reach such as seek to adjust the business machinery of this country so that all the wealth will fall into a few hoppers. His ideas are sharply defined and his plans simplicity itself.

He would send violators of the law to jail. That is the whole of the antidote he prescribes. Fines, he says, place too much of the burden of the punishment up on the innocent. And he scaffs at the idea that the guilty cannot be detected and convicted. "The managers oi corpora tions themselves always know the men who originated the acts charged against them as done in contravention of the law is there no means by which their uames may be disclosed to the officers of justice? Every act, every policy in the conduct of the affairs of a corporation originates with some particular officer, committee or board.

The officer, the committee, the board ordering an act or originating a policy contrary to the law, or intended to neutralize or contravene it, is aserious offender against society and must be punished if our instiutions are to stand. "It is neither sensible nor effective to attempt to punish the corporation. We do not indict the gun, but the man be. hind the gun. It is a fatuous and unnecessary fiction to treat a corporation as in all respects a legal person.

To control such of its acts as are against public policy we must cease to deal with it by means of the law as if it were only a single individual, a responsible individual, and must handle it for what it is artificial agency. You cannot punish a corporation. Fines fall upon the wrong persons, and more heavily upon the innocent than the guilty. Those who know nothing whatever of the offense for which the fine is inflicted must pay as well as those who originated and carried through the illegal act. So the real punishment falls upon the stock-holders and thecustomers.

"If you will but put one or two conspicuous dummies into the penitentiary there will be no more dummies for hire. You can stop the traffic in dummies, and then when the idea has taken root in the corporate mind that dummies will be confiscated the custom of the business will change. Modern Tk pie so justly complain."

TWO WIN AND TWO DEFEATED Judge Allen Hands Down Interesting Decision in the Famous Fee Gases. Judgt Says Ttat AvdHar It Within MfHti and Tkat Cwnty Judga Alas WNMs fligliti, But Oaalsrss Agalsat Raflatar Daatfa and His Casnty Hava Arauiad WMa MaraaL Judge Frank P. Allen of the district court of Sargent county handed down his decisions in the famous Sargent county officer fee cases.

He holds in favor of the county auditor, the county judge, and against the county register of deeds and the county treasurer. The actions have state-wide interest because fee questions have arisen in many counties, and these are looked upon as tests. In the case against the auditor fees received for certifying abstracts, certifying deeds and for recording township bonds were in controversy, the total amount being about $1,000. Attorney George A. Bangs of Grand Forks appeared for the auditor.

Against the county judge action was brought to recover fees collected for marriage licenses, but the court holds thai such fees belong to the judge and that their collection is optional with that official. Also, certain fees claimed to have been collected by him for certified copies of records are held to belong to the judge, and not a fee provided by law. The treasurer loses on fees collected on court house bonds, but wins out iti the case of fees for making collections of school moneys. The register of deeds loses out on tees collected for registration of deeds and other papers, the law making provision for a record of such fees and the covering of the same into the county treasury.

"I have lived in Notth Dakota for over 30 years and my business and public life is well known generally to the people of the state.

"Should I be nominated and elected governor of North Dakota, I would give to that office the same care and attention that I have given to the office which I now hold would give to the state a clean, honest, economical, business adminis. tration.
