DIR. Mackenzie to Sue Tome Institute

DIR. James g. Mackenzie, direc-
tor of the Tome Institute, has re.
tanned Messrs. John S. Writ and
Albert Constable as his attorneys,
who will shortly bring suit against
the institute, claiming heavy dam
ages. While the amount of the
suit is not positively known, it is
rumoled it will be for 100000.
This suit is the outgrowth Of the
differences between DR.. Mackenzie
and the trustees of the Jacob Tome
Institute, which will undoubtedly
result in much litigation. The
statement made in the public press
several weeks ago that DR.. Mac
kenzie had resigned is not the fact,
a majority of five of the nine trus-
tees having passed a resolution, a
copy of which is now in the pos
session of DR.. Mackenzie, notifying
him that he will not be employed
after the expiration of the present
school year.
In addition to the suit of DR..
Mackenzie number of professors
who have been summarily dismiss
ed from the institute will also enter
suit for breach of contract.

The Young Mans Chances.

The million dollar salary voted to Mr.
Schwab by the steel trust caused numer
GUS republican editors to write enthusi
astic articles on the opportunities offered
to young men by the great corporations
The subject has now been taken up by
debating societies and the school boys are
investigating the matter for themselves
That Mr.. SclIwab's rise to fame and for.
tune has been rapid there is no doubt
neither is there any doubt that his pres.
J ent position is attractive 10 many, but the
very fact that his case has attracted SO
much attention is conclusive proof that it
is extraordinary. He has won the capital
prize in the industrial lottery, but where
system Of monopoly offers such an op-
prtunity to one man it closes the door of
opportunity to thousands of others equally
able and deserving.
When all the great industries are COIL
trolled by trusts, there will be few big
salaried officials and the remainder of the
employees will be condemned to perpetal
clerkships with no possibility of indie
pendence in the business world.
If the present tendency toward consoli-
dation becomes permanent it is only a
question of time when the principal posi-
tons. in the corporations will go to rela-
tives and favorites, and descend from
generation to generation. Competition
puts premium on brains; monopoly puts
premium on blood
Young men, and old men for that mat
ter, will find that industrial independence
will give sufficient opportunity to a
large number of people while the trnsts
will give an unusual opportunity to a
small number ofpeople Tile Commoner.
Will Mr.. Bryan tell us, or rather tell
everybody, how competition and indus
trial independence are to be secured under
existing conditions? The perfection to
which machinery has been brought.
much of it automatic, almost thing of
intelligence in its movements and execu-
ton, has destroyed free competition and
industrial independence as to individuals.
Large concentration of capital is required
to set up the best machines, and when
they are started the economy and speed
with which they produce defy competition
by any power except of their own kind
This is the present condition, and against
machinery such as is now in use, indus
trial independence and competition by
the masses are wholly impossible.
To prevent the aggregation of capital
and purchase of this high priced and
wonderful machinery, the setting up and
operating it is impossible, if desiable.
These are conceded facts, and in the
face of them what chance has free conf
petition and industrial independence
among the masses? Mr.. Bryan and lead
ers of the democratic party must find
more effective against the
evils complained of than glittering gen
eralities or quit consoling the people with
hope without visible realization.-ED

Anti-Saloon Convention.

There will be held in Elkton, on
Friday, May 3, an anti-saloon con,
vention, to which every person OPP
posed to the licensing of saloons in
this county is not merely invited,
but urged to attend, even if some
sacrifice of time and convenience is
necessary to do SO. 1t is hoped
that those enlisted in the cause OF
better citizenship, better morals
and better government, will exert
themselves to induce IA large attend
ance, which eXerts a moral force on
the community in favor of abolish
ing the saloon, which no other in
tluence can have.
In matters of public meetings in
the interest of a good cause, Elkton
is about the sleepiest town in the
universe. The good, easy-going
folk of that borough seem never to
discover there is to be a convention
on the day named so the out of
town people must be looked to for
the chief attendance.
1t is of special interest to have a
large meeting in order to organize
a force to bring pressure on the
aspirants for legislative honors,
against the liquor power. Don't
fail to attend the anti-saloon con-
vention to he held in the Elkton
Opera House May 3, at 1870 a. IN.
All churches and other organiza-
tions are urged to send delegates.
