FACULTY AND STUDENTS TAKE

prises-Activity of Students
Varied and Profitable.

New Haven, Conn.-The Yale stu
dents are resorting to many enter
prises to supply at least additional
money for college expenses.
The Yale dining hall, outside of the
dormitories themselves, was one of
the first business enterprises started
as money making concern for the
college. 1t now serves 1000 persons
at every meal and has a waiting list
of 200.
The Yale cooperative store sells
everything from pin to pony. The
college runs its own heating and
lighting plant to the exclusion of out
side corporations, ard the dormitories
house 5000 men.
Recently an order went forth from
the college officials prohibiting the
selling of light fixtures and student
lamps on university property except
at a store recently fitted for the pur-
pose on the campus.
The province of the popular dog
wagon, or all night lunch, has recent
ly been invaded by the opening of
two lunch rooms for students, one
on the academic campus and one at
the Sheffield Scientific school.
The enterprises conducted by the
university through its faculty and
corporation. such as the dining hall.
dormitories, lighting and heating
plants, lunch rooms and cooperative
store, are purely business PROPOSE
tions of little interest in themselves
save as they represent the entrance
of the modern commercial spirit into
educational institutions and because
the merchants protest against what
they consider the usurpation of their
field of trade.
The entrance of the undergraduates
into college commercialism is inter

of the occupations chosen and the
way in which these enterprises sup

Mir. Lyons for Speaker.

sThe newspapers of North Alabama, ? said a South Alabama Democrat, have apparently overlooked the fact that our section has candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives.
 T have not seen 1t stated in any of the. newspapers that Hon. A.. S. Ly- ons of Mobile County. will contest for the Speakership and yet in. our section of the State we think he is d winner. We have been told by the fiewspapers that Mir. Goodwin of Montgomery and Mir. Arnold of Calhoun are the only aspirants for the Speakership. would like for The Advertiser to correct this impression. Mir. Lyons Is candidate and candidate with an influential 4,l- lowing. He Is one of the best inform ed men in the State sterling Demo- erat and one who has served in both branches of the Legislature. He is vice Mayor of Mobile, a young man and one who will have considerable sup port for the office he seeks.
 You may look to see Mir. Lyons of Mobile a strong factor in the race for Speakership in January"

The case Of Stensland. the footing President of the wrecked Chicago bank. and possibly vf others more or less Implicated. will furnish test case as to the punishment Of big criminals as we'll s little oles It has long been cor tended that 1t is easy to convict a petty thief and exceedingly difficult to punish one who steals or enibezzles on a grand scale, and who has rienty of money to fight his way in the courts. It Is only fair and Just to admit that there is frequent cause for such belief, and the escape or long delayed punish ment of prominent criminal is not al- ways because Of corrupt courts and ju- ries. There are various ways by which the cause of Justice can be legally de- layed If the accused has money 'to fight his case through the courts.
 stensIand and Cashier Herring are glfbly accusing each other of the crime of bank footing, and it may be that full investigation will show both to be guilty. In fact. it seems hardly possible that the two could have got
  out complcity or mutual knowledge It is possible that other parties will be implicated before the thing ends, but however, that may be, there is little doubt that those who are accused will have ample means to contest every inch of ground. In any case a Chicago jury witl have the opportunity to show that little criminals are not the only ones who can be convicted and pun ished.
 The case of the wrecked Philadelphia bank offers another opportunity, before a different court. to disprove the charge so often made. True, the President of the institution avoided trial by com hitting suicide. but other officials of the bank must answer to the charge of footing Though when Nipple took the towards course of quitting the world he left behind him a written charge against one who was probably an ac- complice, and the courts of Philadel- phia. like those of Chicago, will be able to show the world whether or not they can punish big thieves.

The ante-convention night was mark ed by an overfiqe at all the hotels. The New ExchaHse,Sas large at 1t is. was filled up before o'clock. Before the crowds which came in on the Louisville and Nashville trains had secured ac- commodations every hotel in the city had every room taken.
 Before o'clock. delegates WHO had friends in the city were telephonfng for any old sort of sleeping place In the early part of the night the finding of sufficient sleeping room was se- rious problem Many of those who had been left out. were given timely aid by delegates who had already seeured rooms and who were willing to take in their friends rather than see them wafk the streets during the night

TIE prMocRArrc coNvENraoN.

7he Democrats of Alabama meet to- day In Convention to carry out the wishes of the people as to candidates for places on the Supreme Court bench and so select an Executive Committee. These are the specific purposes for which the Convention has been called. but the action of the Convention is not necessarily IlnafSed thereto.
 From present indications there will not be much dtff4culty in arriving at speedy conclusion as to the Supreme Court nominations. The only absolute ly initiative action that the Convention Is called on to take Is the selection of the Committee. For many years the Committee was selected by the State Convention, each Congressional district. through it's delegates, making choice and che Convention ratiies the whole. It gave measurable satisfaction, but of course in some respects was often par- tisan. This, however, as long as there are differences Tn party as to men or measures. may be expected. com mIftee. however. should be composed of fair minded men who will do their duty as they see 1t. and not be the mere creatures of any man who may set back in dignity. pull strings and tell them to dance. It should not be made qp of men who have axes to grind, who have revenges to sratify, or who are So intensely partisan for a few men as to sautSout all ideas of fair ness and justice towards all other men.
 The fresent committee has been most shamefully maligned as heinz corpor- ation tools. and owned by interests hos tile to the well being of Alabama Of course these charges were false, basely false. yet they have been repeatedly made in speeches and in papers during the last six months. This committee came fresh from the people. They were elected by direct primary vote of the Democrats of the nine Congressional dis tricts of the State. and if they are not free of the malign influences which certain persons charged against them, then the people are to blame, for they selected them. It Is a severe arraigB- ment of the intelligence and virtue of the Democrats of this State to charge that they are Incapable of selecting a committee to look after party affairs, which is not boss or corporation own ed.
 We sincerely hope that the commit tee to De selected today will be com posed of men who have only the good of the party and State at heart, and that the fortunes of men will be su- bordinated to the greater interests at stake.
 Possibly the Convention may adopt series of resolutions bearing upon fu- ture political events. It should be borne in mind. however, that there will be another Convention held before the National Convention assemblies and that convention being nearer to the time of action can speak with more certainty as to the political animus of the Dem oerats at that time. If. however the Convention desires to go on record as favorable to any future nominations there ought to be explicit repudiation of any endorsement of propositions which are the very foundation stones of the Socialist Party of this country. This much is due to the past record of the Democracy of the State.
