University Ranks High.

The statistics relative to the attend
ance of American universities, which
is annually compiled for ''Science'' by
Registrar Tombo of Columbia Univers-
ity, shows that the large attendance at
the University of Wisconsin places it
among the largest universities of the
country. The college Of letters and
science of the University on December
l, 1904, the date on which these
statistics in Science were compiled,
had 1852 students, the third largest
enrolment in the country; Harvard
being first with 2, 412 students, and the
University of California second with
| ,453, only one more than the number
at Wisconsin. In the number Of stud
ents in agriculture, the University of
Wisconsin takes second place with
529 students, Minnesota being first
with an enrolment Of 705. The Uni
versity OF Wisconsin ranks fourth
among American universities in the
number Of students attending its scien-
tific schools, the enrolment this year
being 500. The university school Of
music takes fourth place in the matter
of attendance with 220 students. The
graduate school Of the university is
fourth in size, Columbia being first
with $50 Students; Chicago second
with 3S9; Harvard third with 500; and
Wisconsin fourth with 205. In total
attendance excluding from the enroll
ment of other institutions the college
of medicine, dentistry and theology,
which are not included among the pro-
fessional schools at Wisconsin,, the
university takes sixth place with
1920.

ing but capacity for labor, upon the
great organizations Of labor That is
paternalism; paternalism in almost it's
final form"
AS able as the article is to this point,
it is in Judge Grosscup's three clear
suggestions of ''How to Save the Cor
porationn that we find it's unusual and
constructive value.
Government control: 'putting aside
the five and-forty bewildering state
hands, FOR one great national hand. :"
Regeneration: ''cut out the stock
jobbing corporation; the water-logged
corporation; the mere vision of vision
aries; the labyrinthian corporation,
whose stock and bond issues are :.
purposely tangled"
Opening of proprietorship to wage
carriers; to such workers, no less than
to captains and lieutenants of industry,
a share of profits should be given.
This statesmanlike summary ought
to be read by every voter in the United
States.

Judge Crosscup on Corporations

Not how to crush the corporation,
but how to save it, is the text of an
able and lofty article in the February
McClure's by Peter S. Grosscup, Judge
of the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, Chicago
Our sovereign national menace is
the increasing loss of individual pre-
prietorship, the ownership of the in
dustrial property of the nation by
fewer and fewer people, in the form
of corporations. Judge Grosscup as
serts that the present tremendous bank
boards of wage-earners are menace; ;
that they ought to be devoted to in
dividual enterprise, as in the early
days of the republic; and that to bring
this about, proprietorship in corpora
ions must be made safe and accessible
to work ing people.
That the.institution of private prop
erty seems at present doomed by the
corporation, Judge Grosscup shows by
striking comparison of the bank de-
posts in 1880 with those in 1904.
During that period, the population of
the United Statas increased about fifty
per cent; it's wealth increased about
sixty per cent; while it's bank deposits
representing the capital withheld
by the bulk of our citizens from active
private erprise-increased from two
and a quarter billion dollars to eleven
billion dollars; over five hundred per
cent.
This means that wage-earners of
moderate means increasingly prefer to
let others invest their savings for them.
And Judge Grosscup's remarks on this
phenomena are memorable:
The transformation of the owner
ship Of a country's Industrial property,
from It's people generally, to a few of
it's people only, reaches the bed rock
of social and moral forces on which,
alone, the whole structure Of republi-
can snstitutions rests; for, under such
conditions, instead of depending each
on himself and his own intelligence
chiefly for success. the great bulk of
our people. increasingly will become
dependents upon others Those who
possess investible means will come Ic
rely solely upon the great financial in
situations: and those who possess moth

WASHINGTON LETTER..
From our Regular Correspondent

The senate of the United States wit
messed pathetic and even dramatic
scene when Senator Mitchell of Oregon
pied his innocence of a federal indict-
ment. Standing by his desk at the
rear of the room he tt liked for nearly
an hour of his alleged connection with
the Oregon land frauds. His argu
mena was connected and forceful and
delivered with such intensity of feeling
that it was necessarily eloquent.
The senator had not previously APP
peared in the senate since the indict-
ment was returned and when he en-
tered the room a number Of his old
friends crowded around him with many
evidences of good will. and when he

headed solon said, Its always the
same old story, boys, 'Cherchez la
Femme The woman in this case
was Mrs. Watson, for whom Puter had
enlisted the sympathy of Senator Nit
chell, and to whom the senator re-
ferred several times in his address,
vi the various ways in which Gov
eminent officials make use of their po-
sitions to save themselves expense Or
to supply themselves an outside rev.
enue, none is SO common for the lat
ter purpose as the selling of govern
ment information to periodicals. BY
this is not meant that class who take
questionable means of securing con-
gressional or white house reports for
the purpose of newspaper scoops"
That is business all to itself and for
tunately much less rare under present
conditions than formerly, but there is
class of government employees who
make their official positions an agency
to supply them with the material for
IL i
they sell to highest paying magazines.
All Of the depar tments entertain
these literary lights many of them be-
ing chiefs Of bureaus who re supp ed
not only with government data ex-
pensely secured, the results of expert
ments and research made by govern
mont experts, photographs inacces-
sble to any but the government Off
cials, but besides these the government
pays for the time in which the articles
are prepared pays for the stenographer
to whom they are dictated and even
supplies the paper on which they are
written and the envelope in which they
are sent. The consular bureaus have
been particularly active in this line,
relying on the information and photo
graphs supplied by our consuls abroad
for readable articles of all trade sub
iects. The latest incident of this
character, though is an article in a
magazine of wide circulation by H.
w. Wiley of the Bureau of Chemistry
on the subject of ''Adulterated Foods
and Drinks, and how the Governments
"pOisOu SQUAD has demonstrated the
curse of the consumer The article
is deceptive in not being such penny
dreadful as it sounds but the fact re-
mains that the government expert
ments for which Mr.. Wiley was paid
by the government and for which the
funds were supplied exclusively by the
government have been used by Mr..
Wiley for an article for which he alone
is paid. The article is accompanied
by government photographs also of
the poison, squad photographs made by
the government photographer in gov
eminent time with a camera and plates
owned ty the government.

The election of Governor La Fol-
lette was Of course a foregone conclu-
sion, but peculiar feature abouthis
selection is that his election was prac-
tically unanimous on the part of the
Republican senators and Assem- blymen,
only two votes being cast against
him That Governor La Folette's
election shows plainly the wonderful
power and popularity he has achieved,
is evident from the fact that at no
time had he openly announced his can
dldacy for the honor. 1t came to him
without personal effort, an honor
seldo conferred upon any man.
Mr.. La Toilette will surely make a
brilliant senator and be a worthy sue
c3ssor to Senator Quarles and col
league of Senator Spooner. In com
menting upon the election If Governor

Wisconsin voices our sentiments when

rels in the Republican politics in this
state and lead to a more perfect weld

left the Senate after his speech they
went to him again shaking hands with
him and wishing him well. Among
these were Senators Daniels and Tell
er and others from the west and south.
Senator Michel is an old man and
since his severe illness in Washington
winter before last when it was thought
he would not live he has broken visi-
bly,. When he entered the senate Tues
day he looked more than his SEVENTH
four years. His face was pale and
lined with care and the hand which
held the typewriter sheets of his ad-
dress shook SO that the paper f1uttered.
His handkerchief and a glass of water
were conspicuous on his desk; he filled
in pauses when his voice was too
choked to be audible in making use of
both. His address took up the history
of the land fraud case and his cOnnec-
ton with it from the beginning and to
many Of his colleagues it was a
thorough and convincing vindication
of the man. Every Senator in the
city was present during the reading of
ths statement and the galleries were
filed. The faces Of the senators as
they watched their colleague painfully
struggling through his affecting ad-
dress were interesting studies. Sena-
tor Depew who is generally so smiling
kept his eyes fixed on the cover of
congressional directory that lay before
him. Senator Fulton, of Oregon,
big raw boned man who looks more
like large and honest pillow boy than
a statesman sat by Senator Mitchell
listening intently to every word, his
face earnest with sympathy. Some of
the Southern Senators who are bv
temperament more demonstrative than
| their brothers from the east and north
were seen to wipe their eyes when
near the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Mitchell broke down altogether and
was unable for 81 few seconds to pro-
coed. Senator w. A. Clark of Mon
tana who is just back from Europe
with his young wife, sat on one of the
sofas at the back of the senate room
both hands behind his ears trying to
catch the words, which by reason of
his increasing deafness, since the
operation on his ears, were difficult for
him to understand. Many of the young
er Senators listened throughout in re-
spectful but frigid silence. At the
conclusion of the statement, when the
irrepressible gale ries had been ST.
fenced by the oft-repeated threat that
they would be turned out in body if
| they did not cease to applaud, the sena-
tors gathered about in little groups
and discussed the statement. A num-
Der of them with whom your cores
pondent talked were agreed that the
address had been a dignifed one in
spite Of its having violated every pre-
cedent, but there was no one who did
not realize the futiity of it. The Sen.
ate cannot take any action in the mat :
ter and democratic senator remarked
apropos of the senator's intimation
that he would not resume his seat:
IF every man Of US believed him as
innocent as a new boru babe, I think
he should not return to the senate I'M
