Indiana in the old times so aroused
the cupidity of the North Carolinians
In 1892 that Mr.. Ransom determined to
get the state entered on the doubtful
list By giving an exaggerated en-
phas1s to the claims of his opponents
ana sending these reports assiduously
to New York, he frightened the Demo-
cratic campaign managers into the be-
lief that North Carolina was really
doubtful. Then he made a trip to
New York himself to finance the doubt
full state idea. His experience is not
the only one that might be mentioned.
1t is probably true that the Platt Re
publlcans in New York today rather
rejoice in the now prevalent view that
New York will again be a doubtful
state in the next presidential contest.
The division Of the electoral vote sys-
tenn would change all this, and make
every one Of the forty-five states of
the Union equally doubtful. and hence
equally deserving Of attention and Gull
tivation. A vote in one place would
be as good as in another
But 1T may be asked why the same
result might not be accomplished by
choosing electors from congressional
districts, as was done in Michigan in
1892 under the celebrated Miner law?
The trouble with this plan Is that it
would multiply the evils Of the gerry
mander, which are bad enough now.
If the presidential contest, as we'll as
that for the house Of representatives,
were at stake in an election by dis
tricts, the carving up Of a. state would
be much more remarkable than 1t Is
now, and party once in power could
be dislodged only by a political earth
quake. Moreover, the presidential vote
would then be-excepting a few men
who run ahead Of their Enthusiastically
equivalent to the party strength in
house and senate combined. A Repub-
lican candidate for president would
have as many votes as there were Re-
publican representatives and senators
elected. There is probably some ad-
vantage in having the presidential
choice rest upon slightly different
basis from the congressional.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF TRUSTS.

the Eastern states a tendency to re-

herently injurious, just as all forward
and upward movements have been re-
sisted The New York Sun Is among
not the apologists, but the stoutest of
advocates. 1t proclaims the trust as
the highest and best development of
our modern civilization" Others take
middle ground and seem to regard
them as inevitable, something to which
men must submit, leaving to the fu-

product of human greed combining

partnership. the joining of effort and

But the partnership and the corpora

TOMORROW YALEs DAY.
Old ELS G1ee and Banjo Clubs Are
Coming.

The Yale Glee and Banjo clubs will be
here at the Peoples church with mirth
and song. There is a ring and swing
to the music of these clubs that is very
pleasing to both young and old. Their
songs and tunes carry the youth for
ward to the happy college days in
store for him, and they carry the old
back to the days when the world SEEM
eel biggest and best to them
Those that have heard the college
songs sung can understand the feeling
they create in the listener, and to those
that have not, no description can give
them justice. The concert this year
VIII be a regular oId-fashioned glee
club concert full Of college songs and
medleys which will be rendered with
Vigor that is charming. The Christ
mas trip is one continual round Of fes-
Invites. In every city where a concert
Is given they are entertained royalty.
There have been many discussions Of
late as to how important a part ath-
letics play in the growth, reputation,
and fame Of q college. It would be
equally interesting and quite as aston
1shlng could one know exactly to what
extent Yale college Is indebted to it's
Glee and Banjo clubs. The scenes of
the athletic contests are almost en-
tlrely confined to the four states Of
connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jer-
SSS, oAI0 ANSW LOIh, WINE the musical
clubs travel this year as far west as
Denver, as far south as Louisville and
as far north as Montreal, carrying the
songs and fame Of Yale and arousing
interest, attention and enthusiasm
wherever they go.
The clubs are in admirable form, Civ
ing their numbers with unusual zest
and evident enjoyment. OF course the
very nature Of the entertainment pre-
cludes a detailed criticism, for, how
ever delightful college glees and banjo
playing may be, there is nothing
about them calling for analysis It Is
enough to say, in the way of general
comment, that this concert is one OF
the best Of its class. The glee club
sings characteristic Yale songs, and the
banjoists are heard in a variety Of
choice selections.

A NOVEL SUGGESTION.
Something That Legislators Have

The various lines or interests which the
fertile legislator OF the period has been found
ready to assail in the way Of taxation. or
other penalizing measures, are supposed TO
be pretty well known. The idea that any in
dividuals or organizations which might be
subjected to possible taxation, or other legis-
lative regulation, have been overlooked
would be apt to startle, not to say disgust.

But how about the legislators themselves?
Has bill to tax, fine or otherwise make
life animated for them ever been introduced
in state assembly anywhere? How would
a measure strike the popular fancy enacting
that every member of the legislature pre-.

of each house every session in every state.
should be subject to fine and Imprisonment?
a fair round sum for. every day fooled away
them for their varied deeds of omission and
commission; taxing them, indeed. for the
privilege of being legislators at all?
They are everlastingly ready to consider
schemes for taxing all the rest OF creation;
maybe few to tax themselves for being
allowed to breathe the air and wake the
echoes Of legislative halls would at least
give them something to think about. Think

pulse of human nature that leads men
to try to get for what they produce the
most possible.
1t IS also in accord with the funda-
mental premise of the policy Of ma
tional party now dominant. The prem
fse is: Competition of foreign with
domestic producefs is an evil to be
either totally suppressed or reduced to
a minimum. Thus taught and exam
pied 1t Is net strange that domestic
producers reach the conclusion that in
ternal competition among themselves is
also an edlA Without a congress in
sympathy they proceed to exterminate
the evil Of their own initiative. Con-
gress and states enact prohibitory laws
against them, but very naturally these
men reason that neither congress nor
states can be sincere in their opposi-
ton while tenaciously insisting upon
the evil Of exterior competition. And
the 1nertness OF state officials, who
complacently behold the formation and
operation Of these combinations under
their very noses, and the ineficiency Of
congressional enactments give the
trusts warrant for such confidence.
But both the fostering policy and its
logical If disowned outgrowth utterly
Ignore the corresponding half of hui
man impulse, the equally universal de-
sire to buy as cheaply as possible. Only
when these two antagonistic forces
have free play Is 1t true that, as the
old trade wisdom has it, compet1-
ton is the life Of trade. It is only then
that an equilibrium of profit Is posi-
bic. Neutralize either force, prevent
either the cheap purchase or the dear
sale, and the eternal balance is dis
turbed and the economic penalty fol-
lows the violation Of economic law. For
1t Is In these inherent, ever operative
human impulses that we find those
forces men call economic law. To JUS
tify, then. either the existence OF pro-
tecttve tariffs and other impediments
to free exchange, or the existence Of
the commercial trust, 1t Is essential
that mankind be convinced that 1t is
to their injury that they be able to
buy what they need as cheaply as pos
sible.
Even the trusts themselves refuse
to admit this. Each seeks to get what
1t wants. either of material or labor, at
the lowest cost. We are assured by the
latest formation. the wire trust, that

point Of familiarity with trust methods,

lied by economics due to a partial con-
troll of raw material down to the ore
and fuel" and ito the certainty of low
purchases on large scale" The cheap
buying impulse will be strong enough
to prevent any display in buying Of
the dear-selling impulse 1t can be de-
pended upon that every trust will re-
gard competition among sellers Of the
things it buys as essential to the life
of trade. 1t is condemned by It's own
philosophy.
