scholars at Oxford. The editorial very
properly points out the essential dis
tinction that the two systems, while
similar in method are wholly dissimilar
in object. In selecting the best product
Of American colleges TO represent the
country at Oxford, the consideration Of
physical qualifications, IA attested by
actual performance on the athletic field,
II entirely justihable; in It's application
TO the normal undergraduate society Of
a native college II Ia pernicious, with
no redeeming feature, and cannot be
too severely condemned
The oanvassing Of preparatory schools
for promising athletic material is al
ready prosecuted with quite, sufficient
energy and thoroughness by the col
leges, and the inducements offered TO
athletes 10 persuade them TO enter GER
tain colleges have gone quite as far as
they should. We hear Of instances
where this extreme zeal has passed the
boundary and entered the territory Of
downright dishonesty. II Cornell has
thus far avoided the pollution Of such
methods, she should be proud Of the
record, and find abundant consolation
for the consequent lack Of material
in the consciousness that she has had
no part in the prostitution Of sport.
The timid, tentative condemnation Of
the proposed scheme as being "a poor
disguise for directly offering athletes
financial inducements TO enter the uni
versity should have been made sweeping
and emphatic. This is not a subtle,
delicate question Of athletic meta
physics, but a straight out, up and down
matter Of right and wrong.

The Trustee.

A wave Of infdelity to the obligations
of a trust is sweeping over the United
States, Not the trusts which are the
bogies of Populsts, Bryan Democrats
and too many Roosevelt Republicans,
not the fdei eommissum which is the
essence Of the tie between guardian
and ward, between an administrator Of
the estate Of a deceased person and the
property, between the executor Of q will
and the beneficiaries thereof, nor a trust
in a public office, but that other kind
which grows out Of the relations that
ought to exist between a'director OF
corporation, an officer thereof, and
shareowner therein.
The big wave extends west and east,
south and north Wisconsin feels it as

insurance companies are under its bale

Men who recognize and obey the high

The memorial committee Of the class

sidering the application Of the fund
which II is customary for graduating
classes TO devote TO some object Of col

mends that the class Of 1905 endow a

basis: one-third for scholarship, one
third for qualities Of character, popu-
larity and all around ability for lead

Prairie Wolf and Fence.

We have not been in thorough sym
patty and charity with the Department
OF Agriculture since it intermitted it's
long and fascinating series Of studies on
the Pocket Gopher Now we forgive
and bless again those Federal speeders
of the pillow. The Prairie Wolf comes to
make good the void, to console for the
loss Of the Prairie Dog.
The Biological Survey has been sur
veying the Coyote and views him with
undisguised alarm. We wish that a
recent treatise on Coyotes in Their
Economical Relations could be placed
in the hands Of every economist. In
deed, It should find an honored place in
every American home. As the learned
author says, 'the coyote problem is a
serious one We're II not, It would not
occupy the lAborious hours Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. Coyotes are
increasing. Consequently serious prob
lens are increasing; but time, research
and the ripe thought Of our best eoono-
mists will yet get this barking dog where
his hair is short.
Why are coyotes fond Of mutton chops7
We find no sufficient answer to this inn
portant question In the work before us.
MSy not the incorTigible passion Of the
coyote for returning to his muttons be
due not ~ much to any acute physiology
cal perception Of the flavor as TO blind
and devilish opposition to protection and
protected industries? At the proper
time we hope TO demonstrate this propo-
sition by convincing economic, moral,
physiological and esthetio reasons.
Why is barbed wire fence incapable Of
bridling in a struggling coyotei The
fact is clear, but what Is the explanation?
The biological economists do not face
the problem fairly. We suggest that a
barbed wire fence, being the subject and
product Of a trust, is regarded by the
coyotes as tainted. Their objection is
moral, not physical II this working
hypothesis works, the further expert
ments with wire fences which the biol
ogists propose will be waste Of thought.
These men Of science seem to hold
that the coyote Is Of a neurasthenic,
hysterical temperament, and eludes the
barbed wire in uncomfortable excite
ment. We cannot attribute such patho-
logical condition to an animal living a
simple, out-of-door, athletic life, and
diversifylng his chop with chicken. Both
the diet and the habits Of the coyote indi-
cate health and poise.
Can a hungry coyote break into close
from which a neurotic coyote can break
outI The biological surveyors, with the
caution Of science, declare that the ex-
periments have been insufficient to de-
eide. Asserting as we do the intelli-
gence and complete coordination Of the
coyote, we must insist that excitement
is not factor in the problem. Besides, il
the coyote is hungry, why doesn't be-
nevolent Government feed him7
To the sociologist, the biological ex-
periments in this volume as to the sslta-
tory instincts, capacities and powers Of
coyotes, and the height and shape Of
anti-coyote fences, are = mine Of honest
satisfaction.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-04-29

From this 1t would appear that, II the
prices OF 1904 are 80 utterly disastrous,
those Of 1899, 1900 and 1901 we're little less
so. Yet no such bitter complaint was
then heard as that which is now being
made. On the contrary, the earlier
years were regarded az a boom time In
the Middle West, which is the center Of
the cattle industry. Moreover, the avail
able census returns do not indicate any
serious reduction In the total number Of
cattle. In this connection, reference may
be made TO Mr.. GARFIELD's report, show
ing the number Of cattle received at
twenty-iour leading centers as 9,114, SOs
In 1899 and II COS, PCS in 1908, which was
the year Of lowest prices.
A review Of the whole question leads,
therefore, to but one conclusion. That
Is, that many interests are involved, and
that the real truth OF the matter is not
to be reached by approach from a single
and special direction. The report Of the
Bureau Of Corporations declares that the
trust is not robbing the public in the mat
ter Of prices. The danger Of reducing
the available supply by making cattle
raising an improbable enterprise is GER
tainly open to investigation and definite
determination So are the assertions
made by the cattle raisers that railway
rates on live stock are excessive.
A great hue and cry has been made
over the matter, and the Federal Gov
eminent is spending thousands Of dol
lars in Investigations. The report re-
Gently submitted does not quite get at
that which the consuming public most
wants TO know. The profits made by
the Beef Trust are an incident only.
The public wishes to know why the
price OF beef has been increased with no
clearly shown reason therefor The pub
lie has assumed that the Beef Trust was
the responsible cause Of the advance.
The Bureau Of Corporations, by state
ments OF figures and by assertions which
must be accepted as facts, shows that
it is not. Yet between the complaining
cattle raisers and the complaining beef
consumer there is leak which should
not be difficult Of location.
In view Of this. it would seem in order
TO institute an investigation by which
the public could be shown, in concise
and comprehensive tables, the progress
Of beef and It's prices, from range &c
block, for a period Of several years.
Briefly, thus: A steer Of certain grade
was worth such price on the range in
1908 and auch n price in 1904 CornnaFa-
tive tables might be submitted showing
the 1895 cost Of transportation, fattening,
slaughtering and dressing, the whole
sale price Of dressed beef, and the cost
OF the same items for each subsequent
year AL these are matters Of record.
The public il not interested in tedious
and vohlminous reports. 1t wants TO
know why It's steaks and it's roasts cost
more than they did short time ago.
