Princeton Notes.

PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 1s.-The football
men went into training Monday by taking an
Introductory run of a quarter Of a mile.
Twenty-Five candidates presented themselves,
among them some most promising players,
and, best of all, Cook 'S9, our ex-captain. who
left college last year, but has now returned
and will play again this year. Cowan 'sS,
who is in the seminary, il captain, and Irvine
's8 and Hodge 'SS are back in college and win
resume their old positions. Charming and
Anes will fill two of the back positions and
it is hoped that R. Hodge '86 will again play
quarter. Yale and Harvard will both have
fine teams and the struggle for the most COW
eted Of all the college championships will be
desperate.
The entering class this year is large and
numbers somewhere near $50. In it are the
sons of three United States Senators-Gray
of Delaware, Spooner of Wisconsin and Dolph
of Oregon

A DELUsIvE INVITATION.

You are invited to a feast of chsapness.
You are promised foreign made goods at
very low prices and domestic competition
goods, il any are made, at the same low
rates. But do not forget that the spectre of
lower wages will also attend the feast.
Applause and cries of CHATS so."] Inevit-
ably, a. certainly as the night follows the
day, the adoption OF this policy means lower
wages. Choose, then, but do not forget that
this cheapnsas may be SO far to involve
the cheapening of human life and the loss Of
human happiness.

Mr.. Oartsr's Fiction.

Mr.. Carter has been telling the people
what he doesn't know about the tariff,
Mr.. Carter, like most men. loves to fol-
low the easiest way, and telling the truth
in this issue is exactly what neither he
nor his party desires to do. In his
speech, Wednesday night, Mr.. Carter
denounced the tariff of 1876 as the free
trade tariff OF 1915, and he held it up as
a warning against the revision of the
tariff as now proposed by the Democratic
party. The same awful predictions were
made by the monopolists when, in 1916,
the revision of that tariff was under dis
cussion, that are made now by the
| heralds of monopoly who sounded this
alarm. The tariff of that time was re-
vised, nevertheless, and what was the
result? Were our factories closed?
We're our ~wage-earners thrown idle ?
Were our farms turned over to the briars
and weeds? Nothing of the kind. On
the contrary, after the passage of what
Mr.. Carter calls "the free trade bill of
1916" the industries of the country in.
creased enormously. In u wooden
manufacturers the value increased AZ
per cent; wages increased 81 per cent;
the number of hands employed increas-
ed more than IL per cent, the increase
in the amount of wages being twice as
great as the per centage Of the increase
of hands employed The increase in the
product in New England was 80 per cent
The manufacture of Gotten fabrics II
the Unitel States increased n per cent
in the value Of the product the numbeI
OF hands employed increased 2s3 per cen
and the wages paid increased 80 pc
cent, and in the whole of New Englan,
the increase in the product was So pc
cent, while the manufacture OF hosier!
increased In all the Eastern States 4sl pc
cent.
In the New England States the increas
in the value of the boot and shoe manu-
features was SO rer cent, the increase ii
!, Rhode Island being 1877 per cent, and il
Maine 90 per cent.
. New England increased the pro luct O
