The value of the farm lands along

than 1880, 100000 in the five years
1900. to 1905. The United States
census figures gave an aggregate
value for seventeen States in 1905
as 1924, 7S2,864, while in 1900 it
was only $5,692,230,S72. This is
an advance of nearly forty-five per
cent.
By States the percentage of in
crease vary from 119 per cent. for
Wyoming to twenty-four per cent.
for California. Other records are:
Washington, ~sixty-eight per cent;
New Mexico, sixty-five per cent;
Texas, s%ixty-one per cent; Idaho,
fifty-eight per cent; and Nebraska,
~ffty-seven per cent.

Club life, as it exists to-day at the
university, is demoralizing, says Pres
ident Wilson, mot because there is
in the clubs any cynical Indifference
to study, but because the social activ-
tiles into which their members are
naturally and inevitably drawn are
very many and very delightful and
very engrossing, and study has to
take its chance in competition with
them.
"These influences" he continued,
ARE splitting classes into factions
and endangering that class spirit
upon which we depend for our self
government and for the transmission
OF most of the loyal impulses of the
university. The politics of candi-
dacy for membership in the upper
class club not only produce a constant
and very demoralizing distraction
from university duties in freshman
and sophomore years, and inforce all
sorts of questionable customs, but
they cut deeper even than that.
Group rivalries break the solid
arity Of the classes. The younger
classes are at no point made con-
scious Of the interests of the aniver-
sity; their whole thought is concep-
trated upon individual ambitions,
upon mean of preference, upon COM
binations to obtain selfish individual
ends. They strive against this when
they become juniors and seniors, but
they do not strive against it success
fully, and when they are freshmen
and sophomores they do not strive
against it at all. =.

GOOD FELLOWS ALL, AND EQUALS, At ONE COLLEGE
Princeton University to Adopt a Radical Plan of Social Democracy, Doina
Away NTH the Individual Clubs Live and Eat Together at
Residential 0uads- Present Club Life, Says President
Wilson, is Demoralizins and Unwhoesome.

Princeton, N. president Wood
row Wilson has just instituted a most
radical and complete reorganization
Of social life at Princeton University
one that marks a departure from
the other big universities and which
will be studied with deep interest as
to its working out.
In brief, it aims to absorb the
various college clubs into what are
termed Residential Quads," where
there shall be good fellowship and
closer intimacy between faculty, up
per class men and "freshies."
The system will establish a real
democracy, with each Quad" occupy
ing dormitories, dining rooms and
rooms for social enjoyment in COM
o Instead of the rivalry and bit
ter feeling engendered by club cleo
lions and reflections, there will be
unity and a desire for the common
good-true loyalty to the university.
President Wilson in one phrase
summarizes the plan: "To associate
the -four classes in a generally Or
gapic manner and make of the uni
versity a real social body, to the ex-
clusion Of cliques and separate class
social organizations to give to the
university the kind of common con-
~sciousness which apparently comes
from the closer sort of social con-
tact, to be had only outside the class
room, and most easily to be got about
a common table, and in the contacts
of a common life"
The Board of Trustees of the uni
versity have adopted the main parts
embodied in the plan and it will
probably be put into effect shortly.

BOOKSELLERS SUBPOENAEO
Judge Lands, of Chicago, Demands
Facts About the Standard Oil.
Courts Action is the Result of q Re-
fusaI of Attorneys to Supply FL
nancia1 Information Requested.

Chicago.-Subpoenas were issued
In the United States District Court
for the leading officers of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey.
Subpoenas were also issued for the
officers of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana.
The officials of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, for whom
summons were issued, are John D.
Rockefeller, president; William
Rockefeller, John d. Archbold and
Henry H. Rogers, vice-presidents; w.
H. Tilford, treasurer; c. M. Pratt,
secretary; William P. Howe, assist
ant treasurer, and Charles T. White,
assistant secretary.
The following officials of the Stan
dard Oil Company of Indiana were
also summoned: j. A. Moffett, presi-
dent; w. P. Cowan, vice-president,
and G. w. Stahl, secretary and treas
urer H. E. FELTON,, president of the
Union Tank Line, and F. A. Wan,
former general freight agent of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad, were
also served with subpoenas.
The issuance of the subpoenas was
the direct result of the refusal of the
attorneys of the Standard Oil Com
pany to supply Judge Lands Of the
court with information he requested
regarding the financial condition of
che company. The attorneys declared
that the information should have
been sought at the time Of the trial,
and declared that the request of
Judge Lands was eXtra-judicial and
unwarranted. The Judge replied
that he was entitled to the informa-
ton and intended to have it, and di-
rected District Attorney Sims to pre-
pare subpoenas for such officials of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, or
for any of the officers of the control
ling corporation of the Standard Oil
Company who might, in the opinion
of the District Attorney, have the in
formation desired by the Court.
The Standard Oil Company was in
dicted in the Federal court on the
charge of using illegal freight rates
rendered to it by the Chicago and AL
ton road, and after a long trial was
found guilty on 1852 counts of the
Indictment.
A maximum fine of $4,000 is al
lowed on each count of the indict-
ment, making a total possible fine
against the company of $29,240,00O.
Before passing sentence on the COM
pany Judge Lands announced that it
was his custom to proportion the fine
according to the financial condition
of the person or corporation convict
ed, and asked for specific information
regarding the financial condition of
the Standard Oil Company. This in
formation he has been unable to OBJ
tain, and the subpoenas issued were
the consequence.

JUDGE LOVING NOT
GUILTY OF MURDER
Verdict of Jury at Houston, Va,
UphoIds the UnWritten Law.
0FFENSE JUSTIFIES THE KILLING
Jurymen Admit That the Plea of
Emotional Insanity Did Not At
feet Their Decision - The De.
PENDANT Congratulated.

Houston, Va.-After being in the
jury o one hour the jury re-
turned a verdict of mot guilty in
the case of former Judge William G..
Loving, of Nelson County, the mana
ger Of the Virginia estate of Thomas
F. Ryan, who was placed on trial
here before the Circuit Court of HALL
fax County, for the murder of Theo-
dore Estes, the son of Sheriff M. K.
Estes. of Nelson County. Judge Low
ing shot and killed young Estes on
the afternoon of April 20 at Oak
ridge, following a buggy ride that
Estes had taken with the judges
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Loving,
who told her father that her escort
had drugged and assaulted her.
The verdict is a complete vindica-
ton of Virginia's "unwritten" or
higher" law. Members of the jury
admit that the plea of emotional in
sanity had nothing to do with the
verdict they rendered.
Judge Loving did just what any
Virginian would have done under
similar circumstances" one member
of the jury said. 1--WE rendered the
verdict we did because we in Vir-
ginia believe in preserving the sane
tity of homes and the honor of
our women"
Scores rushed up to congratulate
Judge Loving and Miss Loving as
they withdrew from the court room,
but when they walked to the hotel
none of the curious sought to follow
them. The Estes faction is dis
tressed owe the verdict, not so much
because they are vindictive as be-
cause the verdict casts an imputation
of guilt on the dead man.
Collateral evidence touching his
culpability was excluded, and it was
this ruling which scored the victory
for Judge Loving. Friends of the
dead man still adhere to the belief
that he in no way wronged the girl.
Counsel for Judge Loving upon be-
ing interviewed in this connection
said: "The conclusion of the jury to
the effect that no assault was COM
mitted was absolutely correct"
Miss Loving will leave for a visit
to friends in a distant State in order
to escape n%otoriety.
