.M'EACHRON SAYS HALT.
After Students Battle Today He Is
sues an Ultimatum.

Class spirit dubbed over at Washburn
this morning.
The freshman and sophomore classes at
the college valiantly tried to subdue the
swelling class spirit which arose in the
breasts of their opponents. Brute strength
was resorted to and brute strength multi
piled by numbers won the day. The fresh
men left the field victorious and still were
possessors of the little green class caps
which caused all the excitement.
Last Friday the sophomores posted no
tees on the trees Of the campus warning
the freshmen to desist from wearing their
chased, and fixing Tuesday, April 4, as the
time limit The freshmen retaliated by
tearing down the posters and to further
ava ken the militant spirit, issued dodgers
on Monday calling upon the freshmen to
stand together and resist the demands of
the higher classmen.
This morning, in accordance with ex-
pecta tons, the two classes met in battle
royal Immediately following chapel. which
meets al 1920. The battle was short. as
the sophomores were outnumbered two to
one and were tied up as they came down
the chapel steps Immediately following the
devotional exercises. A number of the
sophomores eluded their captors, however,
gle for the green of the freshmen. A soph-
omore by the name of Fearle was hurt
in one Of these conflicts, carrying away
a battered face as memento Of the coca

Utica Press: One Of the complaints
made by manufacturers, merchants and
shippers generally against the railroads
Is that they discriminate either by low
er tariffs or rebates to the great cor
porations which so by the name of
trusts. They are accorded an advan-
tage over their weaker rivals and the
difference in cost Of TRANSFORMATION
they are enabled to secure comes close
to being a fair profit on the business.
In fostering and favoring these great
concerns the railroads are actually
working against their own best inter
ests. In the first place they are getting
less pay for the freight carried than
they would if there was no discrinina-
ton. The roads put themselves at the
mercy Of the trusts, enabling them
practically to dictate terms and compel
compliance Herewith. It is really a
great deal better for the roads to rely
upon q large number Of smaller and in
dependent concerns for business than
upon two or three big ones strong
enough to say what they viii give. The
smaller scattered and diversified indus
tries build uD the several communities
along the line and make other business.
Instead of fighting legislation calcuIa-
ted to 40 away with aad abolish this
discrimination they should favor it.
