SO they say. You have seen only the
lighter side of life at Smith College.
Confound the other side What care
| for their quadratic equations and
comic sections and cumulative analy-
SEES? Here are nearly a thousand of
! the incest girls in North America girls
with an appreciation of basket ball and
golf and boating and tennis and dane
ing; girls who can handle guitar or a
mandolin and slide down hill on a tea
tray; girls who can pop corn over a
gas Jet and cook a rarebit fit for the
king; In short and in fine, here are girls
to be reckoned with.
The pretty part of it all Is their per-
feet freedom. Good nature gets its
way, except in half-dozen rather I'M
important particulars. Buggy-riding,
unless the couple are engaged, ranks
as a high crime and misdemeanor.
Hitching" lhooking rides in winter

was long ago done away by college
statute. Curfew rings at ten in the
evening, and heaven help the tardy
lass who lacks an accomplice in a
ground-fi floor room to help her in at the
Window Another salutary blue law,
which provides for chaperonage at the
theatre. suggested the verse in the top
ical song
IF lassie have a chaperon,
Going to the play
If a lassie lose % her chaperon,
Need she stay away?"
These, with one more, compass the le-
gal exactions of Smith. The last rule
seeks vainly to suppress that clever bit
OF college phraseology which speaks of
ball as "mandance." Say IMAM
dance" and you perish miserably.
Yes, but l forget. The law is more
than any code of stated ordinances Far
wider reaching, and certainly more eff
fective, is the inner mandate of a we'll
bred conscience. A Smith girl being
first and last and everywhere a lady,
is an autonomous institution. You can
trust her implicitly. So far as ever
have observed, she is not only above
reproach but also above suspicion. On
the whole, girls are a good deal like
socialists. Give them full swing, and
things will be lovely; tie them up, and
they pull down the heavens.

GrIggs seems to be following his prece-
dent In selecting what laws he Is to en-
force and constituting their conStltu-
tlOnality. OF course there never was
an attorney general Of the United States
who attempted any prosecutions OF the
trusts but there were never any before
who declared publicly they had no bus
mess prosecuting them. His method OF
shifting the responsibility 10 by declar-
ing that they are only matters for State
prosecution. Very broadly he says
'It is a popular error to assert that tho
attorney general Of the United States
has control of corporations or COM
binations which engage In manufacture
In the various States. This is entirely
a matter of State control and unless the
functions of interstate commerce are
interfered with i would be super
olllclous to attempt crusade against
affairs with which have no business"
Indeed, IN the opinion Of the attor-
nsy general, those who most need pro-
lection In the premises are the invest
ors In the trusts. He says: with
reference to these large combinations
Of capital which are now forming, my
own Judgment is that the danger Is not
so much to the community at large as
1t Is to the people who are induced to
put their money into the purchase OF
the stock" Perhaps this last para
graph tells the tale and explains
why the attorney general Of our presi-
dent, Wm. Mckinley doesn't want to
prosecute. lie Is afraid Of hurting
these tender individuals who are in
vestors in the trusts, and incidentally
it might be added, who were the prn-
cipal investors In the republican cam
paign fund.

TnEkE are now a number of wrathy
bankers In the good State of Kansas.
Those who have attained to sufficient
rank in the social fabric to be entrusted
with the care and keeping Of other
mems money, have many prerogatives
that are not the portion of the palmer
people. They alone, perhaps, Of all
men are the only ones Of whom 1t NAV
be truly said, that they live on what
they owe' 1t not infrequently occurs
that they as individuals owe the bank
and as bankers owe the depositors the
same money. Then as individuals they
become slothful, proaigate, or more
often speculative and with the money
ofthe depositors loaned to them on their
individual notes, they play fast and
deep the great American game of buck.

Col Fred Funston is now distinctly
che lion Of the republican party in
Kansas, and the party organs are start
ing little political boomlets for him
for various high offices. There seems
TO be no doubt that Col, Fred IS a
brave, nervy man, but when the papers
tell how he charged at the head OF his
column, they forget that 1t means the
whole column was equally In danger
with him, and while we pass votes Of
thanki for their bravery, their names
are not known, there Is no POLITICAL
preeerment for them, and they draw
$3.50 per month while he draws $500.
The man who enllsts as a private Is q
patriot, that is II he knows what he is
doing. He Is worse slave than an
African, he suffers the worst of priva-
tons, Is used as o scavenger for the
big beef packers, he undergoes the
worst dangers, he gets little pay and
less glory. II he has any CONSCIENTIOUS
scruples against the policy the govern
ment pursues, he must stultify them.
Probably half the soldiers in the Phil
ippines do not believe in the policy
the government has adopted toward
the Fihpinos, but they must shoot
them just the same.

The trust question has struck Kan
sas with more force during the last two
weeks than at any time before. or
course Kansans I've other people have
been paying the freight to the trusts
on trusted articles but one of the worst
effects on Kansas of these combna-
tions Is the prevention of the develop
ment OF our resources and the employ
ment OF our citizens. The Standard
oil company has for two or three years
been holding out of use large oil prop.
srties in the eastern part of the State,
purchased by 1t to prevent competition.
But within the last two weeks the nail
trust has purchased and closed down
the large nail factory at Lawrence and
thrown several hundred men out of en-
ployment and also the linseed oil trust
mas shut down the two oil factories at
Topeka and Leavenworth respectively.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE.

Now come q number Of witnesses be
fore the beef investigating commission
and testify that when the question was
broached as to whether refrigerator
beef or beef on foot should be supplied
In Cuba, General Eagan told them that
the secretary Of war had decided 1t
should be refrigerator beef. A Boston
contractor who represented company
to furnish cattle on foot from Texas
and other southern parts, testified not
only to the above, but that Eagan had
told him they had q chemical process
for treating 1t so 1t would keep for sew
enty-two hours. In other words 1t was
embalmed. Now republican papers are
admitting the beef was bad and that
the soldiers had suffered from 1t.
The Topeka Capital says; "The
country Is sorry to discover that some
Of the canned beef served to soldiers
was bad and that the commissary de-
partment Of the army WIS either care
less, derelict or fooled by the contract
ors. But the yellow sheets should not
deceive themselves, The country Is
not gloating over these disclosures. II
has no vindictive spirit about the
canned beef matter. 1t bel eyes that
some mistakes were made that might
have been avoided but no mistake was
made Of 80 serious nature, so damag-
ing to the discipline and prestige of The
army, so demoralizing and mischievoLs
as the sensational methods adopted by
the commanding general to exploit
these blunders of the commissary &C.
par.ment Of his army through the yell
low newspapers, instead OF going about
1t In quiet and orderly fashion by Of
fetal report to the president. This re.
fected more humiliation upon the ma
tion than the errors made by Gen. Ea-
gan or any OF his subordinates in buy
Ing beef that spoiled, or that was
poorly prepared"
These remarks from the Capital are
not wholly untrue. The beef was bad.
The commlsSary department, Tor a
higher department) was either direllct,
or fooled by the contractors, or worse.
The country IS not gloatlng over these
disclosures. 1t is too serious a matter
for anyone to gloat over. But we
would like to call the attention of the
Capital to the fact that before going
into the newspapers, Gen. Miles inves-
tigated, called for reports from subor-
dinate officers on the quality of beef
and that 1t was only after his protests
and reports had been suppressed IN the
war department that he went before
the public. Governor Roosevelt also
made similar reports which were sup

| Mn. U. A. KAEPpLER, St, Paul, MINI,
My Dear Sjrl Id reply to yo'If favor oI
the sth inst relative to the emedy fo'
the many evils emanatlng from mop
olies and trusts under the system OF re-
stric:ed competition as discussed IN my
speech at Kansas City on the 20th of De-
cember, beg to say in giving You what |
believe to be the remedy, am compelled
to GO into detail in order to sustain my
position with practical, common sense
argument from business standpoint and
should this letter tire you by It's length,
the only apology l can offer is the deep
interest have for the past hve years
taken in these great questions. In the
first place, after thorough investlg CATION
OF the various lawS enacted by Congress
within the past decade, am convinced
that the effect Of these laws have resulted
In large measure 10 the Interests OF con
centrated corporate wealth, to the detrl
ment aud in many instances the destruc-
ton of the prosperity Of the great
masses who produce the wealth of the
country. To be brief on this point
maintain that by Legislation these evils
were brought into existence and by legis
lation they must he destroyed, or the
time is not far distant when their power
and their influence will be greater than
our government itself Now to the rem
edies that suggest the quickest and most
effective way to check the encroachment
OF these trusts upon the commercial and
labor rights of the people is first, that in
view OF the fact that the system OF u pro-
hibitive tariff to prevent the importation
OF foreign merchandise to this country,
to protect commercial and labor interests
is constitutional. II does seem to me
from the standpoint of sound business
principles, that when two or more cor.
porations as well as two or more individ-
ual or co-partnership enterprises engaged
In the same occupation, enter into or con-
centrate their interests thereby becoming
monopoly or trust, to control the pro-
duction and prices Of their specific COM
modities either by forcing other indie.
pendent institutions into their combine
or into bankruptcy, that constitutional
law could be enacted placing an internal
revenue tax so enormously high upon
each additional plant absorbed by said
monopolies that would prohibit any com.
binatons being formed. This law could
be applied to every phrase Of our COM
mercal system, banks, railroads, manu-
factories, mills mining, and the distrbut-
ing factors of our commerce including
jobbers and retail merchants.
A law of this nature would be consti-
tutional becauseit effects all classes alike
and does not prevent any citizen or citi-
zens from conducting their business as
combinations, provided they met the pro-
hibitive tax feature of the government.
Then hove in this law provision that
each individual stockholder of a corpora
tion monopoly, or trust, shall be liable
for the full amount of indebtedness iu-
stead OF double the amount of stock sub
