TO PUNISH TRADING sTAMPERs.

At least two bills have been miro
6uced in the Iowa legislature TO pro-
hibit the use of trading stamps by mer-
chants, and classifying them with lot
iery schemes. one of these provides
penalty of one year in the penitentiary
months imprisonment or similar me.
The aim is to prohibit lottery schemes.
and to include the trading stamp fad
as such. 1t may well be doubted how
ever, whether it could be so classified.
There is no chance involved in the
trading stamp scheme. All purchasers
are treated alike, and the plan really
involves only discount by the mer-
chant. II this be true, such a bill would
which would be against public policy.
The Times Republican does not present
this view because II fayors the trading
stamp scheme; on the contrary 1t re-
CARDS it as burden and nuisance to
merchants and largely deception and
fraud to buyers. If left alone it will
soon fall into disuse because of its own
Inherent weakness. 1t is known that
the merchants who have adopted 1t
would like to rid themselves of it, and
only keep it going now because COM
petitors do so. Instead of being an I'M
lawful thing 1t is only one phase of the
keen competition which exploits every
channel of commercial life. If 1t does
not manifest itself in trading stamps 1t
will take some other form. The trading
stamp will run its short career with
out legal repression and will soon be-
come thing of the past if let alone

WHY FAILURES OCCUR.

In a general way 1t may be said
that successes In the business world
may be emulated with profit and fail
ures studied in precautionary spirit.
For this reason the following inter-
esting data on the subject of failures
turnout the country gives a classiti-
cation that liz of value in pointing out
errors and weakness in the commercial
world. 1t was given to the representa-
tive of the Chattanooga Times by
Manager Close of Bradstreet's agency,
recently:
The saying that man is the ar
chitect of his. own fortune, and that,
generally speaking, the individual
trader possesses within himself the
elements of success or failure in the
business world. has been very effec-
lively demonstrated in preceding dis
cussions of this subject, wherein the
leading causes of business embar-
rassment have been analysed. For the
benefit of those who have not followed
this matter closely, however, it might
be stated that experience over a per-
Tod of years has shown that the causes
of commercial embarrassment may be
quite generally classed under the fol-
lowing eleven heads, close study of
which is invited in order that the
reader may become familiar with theiu
application to the matter in hand

CUBA WILL RECEIVE AID.

The latest word from Washington in

On Saturday the president had a very
plain talk with Speaker Henderson and
his colleague, Dalzell, at which it was
made clear that something must be
done for Cuba in order to make good
the promises of this government. There
was no attempt on either side to exer-
else authority, for the conference was
merely an exchange of honest differ
ences of opinion, but the speaker was
made to understand that the president
stood Arm for Cuba. Again on Monday
Messrs. Payne and Grosvenor house

INVITING CUBA no COME IN.

Congressman Newlands, of Nevada,
has introduced joint resolution In the
house inviting Cuba to become part of
the United States, first as a territory
and then as state, to include such
other islands in the West Indies owned
by the nation as may be deemed advis-
able. condition unforeseen when
Cuba sought independence has arisen,
that of the adjustment of trade rela-
tions with the United States in order
to secure entry for her products over
tariff bars. 1t has been held that we
are under no legal obligations to grant
the island trade concessions, tho we
are under moral obligations to place
no impeachment in the way of her pros
large Industrial interests in our nation
declare that by granting of concessions
such as the Cuban people would like
would result in injuring their interests,
IL not in destroying them. If we are
under moral obligations to Cubans in
the respect named, it might be urged
with propriety that we are under still
greater obligations to guard our own
home interests. Whether the granting
of tariff concessions to Cuba would in
iure home sugar and tobacco planters
and beet sugar interests is to large
extent merely conjectural, yet the claim
is made and must be taken into ac-
count
For this reason condition has been
created in public Judgment both here
and in Cuba, when the thought of in
viting and even urging the Cubans to
become part of Uncle Sans dominion
presents itself fairly for consideration,
without involving selfish motives on our
part.
President Palma, the new Cuban ex-
ecutive. has urgently presented the plea
that unless trade concessions are grant
ed the islands industries will be ruined.
He voices the opinions of his people.
They know or believe that our great
market is their only hope of reaching
and holding prosperous conditions, and
it ought to make them willing to be-
come part of our nation-a privilege
which many another isolated and weak
country would jump at.
The invitation ought to be fairly cons
sidered, free from partisan bias, by
both countries, If the joint resolution
passes and the invitation is thus ex-
tended. It is certain that under the
terms of the Plat resolution the United
States will have to exercise a protec-
torate over the island, and guard it
from outward foes and internal strife,
and under the circumstances it might
be better situated as a member of the
family of states

CLASS ROW AT YALE.
Battle Between Seniors and Freshmen
in Which Noses Are Broken.
last fall.

in Which Noses Are Broken.
| New Haven, Conn, Feb. 6.-Yale's
! faculty has started an investigation of
a row among students early yesterday
morning which developed into one of
the fiercest fights in which Yale men
have figured for years. Preliminaries
to the row had been brewing for several
weeks between a crowd of Sheffield
seniors and freshmen who room in the
Hart dormitory on Wall street, across
from the Yale campus. The disorderly
conduct came to a head last Friday
night in the Hart when the Shelf SEMI
ors. to make life unbearable for the
Shelf freshmen rooming in the same
dormitory, remained up all night, yell
ing and singing songs fthat prevented
the freshmen from sleeping. The SEMI
ors would march thru the halls. singing
at the top of their lungs. "Boola' and
Wake, freshmen, wake"
Saturday night the freshmen had
their innings, for about midnight, when
the seniors in the Hart dormitory We're
asleep, the freshmen. augmented by
several classmates from other buildings
in the vicinity, swooped down on the
seniors, yelling and singing like 1ndi-
ans. The seniors slept no more that
night.
1t was arranged that Tuesday night
about midnight the seniors would make
another raid on the freshmen-this
time to secure apologies. 1t was part
of the scheme to secretly make dash
for the room of Sedley, freshman
leader, to get possession of him, and
first pound him and then compel him to
beg forgiveness for the action of his
classmen. II was stated that three of
their class had been captured by the
freshmen in their rooms and hazed in
a way that made the seniors cheeks
burn with Indignation.
The freshmen had spies out Tuesday
and when the seniors early yesterday
rushed up into the room occupied by
Sedley they were Unexpectedly met by
a crowd of freshmen prepared to pro-
tect their leader. From what was stat
ed yesterday, Sedley had about thirty
classmates at his side to Welcome the
seniors. and one of the thirty was Ows-
ley, the foot ball player.
The seniors after a few blows had
been exchanged retired and went to the
Hart dormitory looking for other fresh
men. Sedley and his crowd followed.
and in front of the dormitory at i
O'Clock in the morning the boys had a
battle that would put some of the an
nual rushes to shame in it's vigor and
its results. The two classes fought for
thirty minutes and there was great
deal of blood spilled Both sides finally
retired. 1t was stated yesterday that
there were at least five broken noses
from the blows.
Director Chittenden of the Sheffield
Scientific school stated that the Incl
dent" was not one calculated to present
the best side of the school to the pub
lie, and that the investigation he had
ordered might result in wholesale ex-

| head off legislation for Cuba, but freely
admitted among their colleagues that it
would be wise and Just to report bill
| for reduction of the tariff schedules
on Cuban tobacco and sugar.
The beet sugar lobby is fairly fran
tic at the new turn of affairs and has
proposed a compromise in the way of a
countervailing duty on German and
Austrian sugar, which received little
attention. Gen. Wood and other au-
thorities have shown that it is abso-
lutely necessary fer Cuba to receive
tariff concessions from this country be-
fore industry can thrive in the island
and it's people be given full stolnachs
without which all efforts at establishing
a stable government among them will
prove failure.
Realizing these conditions. the house
leaders can see that they must yield
their preiudices as to protective tariffs
or be driven to submission by the mere
logic of events. Cuba must have re-
lief. Without it she can not become
self governing. Therefore this country
must either save Cuba to itself with
tariff reduction or see the island throw
itself into Uncle Sans lap for annexa-
by the beet sugar interests than any
tariff reduction.
The house protectionists also see that
the president has the upper hand in the
tussle, for the reason that the senate is
on his side. Should the house refuse to
do anything for Cuba many of the best
lawyers in the senate maintain that the
same results could be brought about
without the consent of the house by
means of a reciprocity treaty in whose
making the president and senate alone
would be consulted. The president,
however wishes the house to be a party
to any Cuban action and is therefore
laboring with it's members to coax them
into line. The senate has already hint
ed at what it will do to the house war
tax reduction bill il the house persists
in it's opposition TO Cuban concessions.
When that bill reaches the senate ways
Cuban amendment which will force the
issue before the house. The retention
of the war tax on beer alone, which the
house ways and means committee pro-
poses to reduce, would more than make
UP the loss of revenue by any tariff re-
duction in the aid of Cuba and 1t is
likely that the senate will materially
change the house bill when the latter is
sent across the hall. There is no longer
any doubt that the president will win
in his contention with the house There
will be some kind of tariff legislation in
the interests of Cuba, whether the re-
duction will be Is, 20 or 80 per cent no
one can predict. 1t will probably take
the form of reciprocal arrangement,
making a reduction in the rates on Gu
ban imports into the United States
whenever Cuba shall grant like con-
cessions on imports from this country
into Cuba. The, senate and president
were right this time and the venerable
members of the house will have some
explaining to do to prove that they
have not held their jobs so long as. to
grow away from the thought and feel
ings of the people they represent.
