College Education Useless.

The old question, Is a college educa-
ton necessary to fit a young man for
life? has been decided in the negative
by d farmer living few miles back from
town some forty miles up the Hudson,
says the New York Mail and Express.
Not long ago the invasion of that district
by the trolley greatly exercised the ma
tives, AS the cars swept by the fences
and over the crossroads at breakneck
speed, they were regarded with no little
awe
The feeling gradually extended 40 the
uniformed conductors and motormen,
with the result that all the farm lads
and many of their fathers began to re-
gard such a position as the pinnacle of

Ixau1RINc INTO MoRGAN's DEALS.

A subcommittee of the United States In
dustrial Committee is in New York in
curing into the recent railroad and coal
deals OF the syndicate OF which j. Pier
pont Morgan is the head. The committee
wants to know whether or not the price
Of coal has been advanced in consequence
of the deals. The evidence brought out
thus far shows that the price to the con-
sumner is about fifty cents a ton higher
than it was two years ago, but it has
not yet been shown that this increase in
price is due to the combining Of coal
properties and coal-canying roads. Mr.
Morgan will, it is expected, be on the
witness stand within a day or two, and
doubtless he will throw some light on this
point, as well as on some others
1t seems to be the understanding that
the committee will also inquire into the
effect the formation of the great steel
trust will have on the prices of steel
products. 1t is evident that the trust will
have 1t in its power to put up the prices
of nearly all kinds Of these products.
1t may be that the Information the COM
mittee Is collecting will be the basis OF
radical antitrust legislation, There Is
one thing Congress ought TO do whether
it appears that the steel trust Intends 20
advance the prices of steel products or
not. 1t ought TO take the tariff off
steel products. No one pretends now that
the steel manufacturers need protection.
They can make steel at a less cost than
it can be made elsewhere In the world.
If the tariff on steel products is retain
ed there viii always be a temptation to
steel manufacturers to make the prices of
steel products in the domestic market
higher than the prices demanded for sim
liar products by our manufacturers in
foreign markets The repeal of the tariff
would be a warning to steel manufac-
turers that they must deal as literally
with consumers In this country as with
those in other countries.
BY the time Congress meets in regular
session next winter it will be pretty wel
understood what the policy OF the steel
trust IS If a disposition is shown by the
trust to take from the peop.e every cent
it can get, there will be a demand for
antitrust legislation that Congress will
not be able to resist.
No doubt Mr. Morgan would like to
avoid going before the Industrial Commit
tee. There is no probability, however,
that he will be excused. The committee
and the world want to know just what
his purpose is in making such tremendous
industrial combinations, and what he
thinks will be the effect of them. They
are so large that people are beginning to
feel that their interests and the welfare
of the country requires that a check shall
be put upon them

NO TURN-oUTs on WHITAKER.

Barnard street will, within week or
two, be double-tracked. This improve
ment will give, at least for the time be-
ing, ample street car facilities so far as
the north and south lines through the city
are concerned. 1t is a question whether,
in view of the opposition that exists, side
tracks or turnouts should be put on Whit
aker street, so that cars on that street
could be run both ways. Within three
hundred feet of Whitaker street there will.
be double tracks and cars going both
ways thus furnishing ample rapid tran
sit facilities.
Whitaker street is narrow, and not in
the best of condition in consequence of the
adherence to its Anticipated cobb.e-stone
pavement. Were It otherwise there
would be no objection to switches.
1t would be great public i'm
provement If the street railway COM
pany could be induced to remove its track
from Whitaker street altogether. Then
the city might pave that thoroughfare
with asphalt or brick, to the needed relief
of the coRgested traffic on Drayton street
There is little likelihood, however, of any
such good luck as getting the railway
track off Whitaker street, therefore the
next best thing is to keep the obstruction
of it at a minimum, as at present.
The street railway company would
doubtless be very glad to have the city
ask that the Whitaker street line remain
as 1t is, since there would be very little
If any, additional business to be secured
by running the cars both ways. Of
course there are persons who would like
to have the cars run into their lots, or at
least stop at their front doors, so that
they would not have any walking to do.
and get the maximum of service for their
nickels; but such persons are COMPARE
lively few. The majority of the people,
and no doubt the street railway company
also, would be e ad to have turnouts
omitted on Whitaker street,

When Representative Wauhope Lynn
introduced into the New York Legislature
his bill to regulate the size OF type used
in the printing of books, newspapers and
all periodicals In New York state, the pub
fishers were inclined to laugh and call the
scheme a craekbrained notion. However.
there is now serious danger that the bill
Will be passed. A hearing on the matter
was held in Albany yesterday. at which
the publishers presented arguments
against the proposition. The Lynn bill
requires that al books, papers maya
zines and other periodicals shall be print
ed in type not smaller than "S-point," or
what is better known es BREWER. This
applies to advertisements as well as to
reading matter. Should the bin become
law It would make the New York news
papers very much larger than they now
are and call for the use of a large ad-
ditional quantity of white paper--a very
good thing for the paper trust. Repre-
sentative Lynn bases his demand for the
proposed law on the ground that reading
small print ruins the eyes Of people,
therefore small type ought to be prohib-
tied by law

coon ROADS IN rLoRIDA.

1t is a safe prediction that Florida win
have more miles of good roads than any
other state in the South in the course Of
the next twenty years. She has started
the good roads movement In the right
way. She is educating her people IA
the direction of good roads, and it VIII
not be long before they will be not only
demanding them in ali parts of the state.
bat will be willing to be taxed to get
them. The session Of the convention Of
the commissioners of the various eoun-
ties which met in Jacksonville on Tues
day, was almost entirely taken up with
a paper on the good roads question and
with the discussion of that question.
Florida already has many miles of ma
cadamized roads, and she is Increasing her
mileage rapidly. The more roads there
are constructed the more anxious the
people seem to be for good roads. And
the fact must be kept in mind that In
most parts of Florida it costs a great
deal of money per mile to construct
roads. because the right sort of material
is not easily obtainable.
The county commissioners are lead ng
in this road building movement. And
from all accounts they are all pretty much
of one mind in respect to it. That is
because they know that they have the
support of the people.
Good roads viii do more than anything
else to build up the state. With macad-
amized or good dirt roads, by means of
which the railroad stations can be easily
and quickly reached. there will be a very
large increase in the immigration TO the
state. The lands will be more valuable
and the cost of getting products to mar
ket win be very much less.
This state could follow the example
of Florida in this matter with great
profit Unless we are greatly mistaken
very little is being done to improve
roads in Georgia-that is, roads that are
at considerable distance from the cities.
The people do not seem to appreciate the
fact that money put into roads is well
invested. Some of these days they will
awaken to the fact that Florida IL max.
ing the greater progress simply on &C.
count Of having better roads.

Two days before his marriage with Miss
shelagh West, in London, the Duke of
Westminster in the presence of company
acted in a manner so queer that some
Of his friends began to fear his mind was
not quite right. Recent information, how
ever, removes all fears on that score. 1t
appears that on the occasion in question
the Duke was showing his present to
the bride-elect, a splendid tiara, to some
Of his friends. After 1t had been passed
from hand to hand the Duke laid it upon
a chair, and went on conversing. Pres
entity he wished to sit down, and sat plump
upon the tiara, bristling with golden
spikes. Now, even golden spikes are no
respecters of persons. There were some
CALCULATIONS as the Duke bounced up, and
his friends proceeded 10 separate the
tiara from him. His aosent-m indedness
is supposed to have been caused by
legal paper he had received that day.
