TRUSTS DEFEATED HIM.
Standard Oil Interests Force the Res
ignation of College Professor.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 3.-According
to a statement in an evening paper it
appears that the resignation of John r.
Commons, professor of sociology and po-
litical economy at the Syracuse univers-
ity, was caused by his attack on trusts
and monopolies.
In a communication published, said
to be from one of the students, 1t is as
serted that the professor used no mild
terms in denouncing trusts and that
for that reason Chancellor Day de-
manded his resignation. John D. Arch
bold, the Standard Oil magnate, is pres
ident of the board of trustees Of the
university, and other millionaires of the
board are men said to be interested in
other combines.
Neither the professor nor the chancel-
lor would deny or confirm the state
ment. 1t has been previously given out
that the resignation was due to a diff
ference of political opinion between the
professor and the chancellor and when
this was denied it was said that he had
resigned to take a position at Wash
ington.

PLUG TOBACCO WAR.
Cut in Prices by Liggett & Myers Met
by the Continental

New York, April 3-Carefu1 inquiry
among interests identified with the sew
era1 tobacco concerns confirms the re-
ports regarding the proposed abandon
meme of the Liggett & Myers option by
the syndicate headed by Thomas F.
Ryan. Furthermore, it can be stated
upon the highest authority that the

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determin.
Ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
tIOns of High-CIass Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
aproduct is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and a large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and Af-
rica, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.
