man it would be q great thing for
him. He hasn't got IT, I've stud

what / am saying"
Such being the sad condition of
affairs, what can the young men do2
There is one thing which they
can do, and that is to devote their
youthful strength, enthusiasm and
vigor to a campaign against trusts.
There is no foe so deadly, no en-
envy so hateful, no force so destruc-
tive to the youth of this country as
is the trust combination which de-
MES individuality, forbids personal
enterprise and hampers young am
bition.
Let the young men fight trusts.
Let them talk against the trusts, or
ganize against them and above all
vote against them. These are the
things which the young men can
and ought to do.

There has never been q political campaign that

WHAT CAN YOUNG MEN Dor

Independent, individual effort on
the part of young men is necessary
to build character and to give sup
port to the citizens Of any country,
says the Chicago Dispatch, and es-
pecially that Of free country like
the United States.
But what chance has the trusts
left for independent and individual
action on the part Of the young men
of to-day?
This question is answered by for
mer United States Senator w. d.
Washburn, Of Minnesota, who says.

SMITHS COLLEGE, November

There are two sides to a question, and
we expected that some one take issue
with us on the redistricting question.
but we hardly thought of being asked
by member of the county court if we
didn't know that an additional tax levy
was very unpopular 1t would seem that
he is for the popular side, regardless of
the best interests of the poor little chill
dren Of the county However, we vent
ure the assertion that it will be as popu-
lar in the sixth district next August as
any candidate for a district office on a
mugwump ticket.
OF anything that is worth doing
at all is worth doing well, and the only
way to redistrict the county would be to
make asurvey of the entire county, and,
according to those who favor the idea,
school house must be put in the CEN
ter of each square, be it three miles or
any othernumber of miles (some say six
square, regardless of whether it is in a
swamp or rocky hill, or miles from a
road or human habitation; thus some
houses would have enough students for
two schools while others would not have
enough for a four-handed game of mar
bles. On the other hand, if we must
adopt the conclusions of the Flatwoods
correspondent, what is the necessity OF
going to the expense of redistricting, as
our present houses were built with g
view to their convenience and other adj
vantages in view.
We are still inclined to the opinion
that a small tax levy, say enough to giv'
us six months school, would be les
burdensome than the expense of redis
tricting the county and rebuild perhap
half of our school houses, which woulC
create general disturbance and para
lie the school interest for many year

medical examiner he was. out OF $4,000.

Sponagle left Fresno the night after the

Gov. Gage further asserts that DR. Spon-
agile was also accused At one tine Of nav

OF a serious nature against Sponagle. who
