Neglec,lur the Greater Danger.

NdTISdH NIIN JUTII IIII
 Legislative reformers from one end of the country to the other are doing val iant service In the ranks of the general crusade against corporations, and so fevered are they by the holy contagion for hampering Of destroying certain classes of business enterprises that they are utterly negleCtful of the amazing ut terances of anarchists in various parts of the country, who are taking full ad- vantage of this opportunity to spread their terrible doctrine of social dissolu- tion right under the noses of the legts- lators themselves. Anarchy is to be dreaded infinitely more than any cor poration that now exists, for the cor poration can be regulated by law. while anarchy is not respertor Of any law

spr,dle-shanked Men of Today.

 'You see said MT Simpson. editor of The American Gentleman, trousers are trousers and there are no new ideas possible in them. We've had the baggY trousers and the peGtop. The normal has now been attained and we're going to stick to it. Knee brooches? Oh. my. no, Nuun never see them in Amer ira-not even for evening dress The trouble ia that the modern city man is too spindle shankod and knockkneed te wear them with distinction. And it's not ony the city mans legs that are dct,riorating in grace and strength. ITS well known fact among tailors that tn" man of today is physically i'm terior 10 his grandfather, It's the cN- tension of transit facilities and "lc- vator service that is ruining him.

 Any one who has lived on a farm does not need to be told the reason, for he krows of the strain under which the American farmer lives during the i've months of spring and summer. His workday is from 1 or in the morning until or 9 at night, including chores fifteen to seventeen hours of the hard est kind of physical labor and every minute of it al high tension, especially during harvest Then comes a period of relaxation in the fall, the one time in the year when he has just enough muscular exercise to keep him Tn hcalth. Later the winter season. ap- poracaing stagnation in which he takes on Hes1. gets "logy." and then furious dehauch of hard labor through the spring and summer again.

Civilization Needs ia Muaier.

Detroit Free Pr0SS.
 Until a man got to work improving things on earth there was no such thing as noise. The sound of the storm of the flood and the tide, the lowing or herds and the call of beast to beast was music to the ear. But civilization IS A horror of contrasted sounds. Noise, noIse!' The man that makes the most noise and dirt has precedence among US fellows. Whatever does the ear the most violence seems to be most prized :. The plea of the protesting nerves should bA needed. The man who on rlslng III the morning and going upon the street finds q noise and kills it should be rich lv rewarded civilization Is in great need of a muffier.

Democratic Bickerings.

Washington special
 A constitutional convention in Okla homa composed a hundred Dem ocrats and only twelve Republicans cannot agree on a charter for new Democratic State, and it's members are going to their homes with no intention of returning.
 Get more than one Democrat In a room and there will be a violent dis agreement no matter what tho subject of discussion. Unless the Democrats get together on some question. and get together quick. there will be nothing left of the party of remarkable vital ity'' except that hope which never dies in Democratic breasts.

An Iniuatice.

Unwittingly, perhaps, MT. Cleveland did a grave injustice to MT. Roosevelt when in his speech to the Union League Club of Chicago the ex-President com- pIained that party organizations "have been known as matter of shrewd management to encourage voters to hope for some measure of relief from economic abuses and yet stand pat on the day appointed for realization"
 The tariff seems to be about the only thing that MT. Roosevelt IS not keen to have the Federal government regulate. Apparently he regards the agitation for a revision of the Dingley schedules much as a scientist views the efforts of a red ant to lug grasshopper leg up timothy stalk--as curious mani festation of futile and profitless activ- ivy He Is interested in the matter only because nothing human Is foreign to him.
 If tariff schedules were babies Mir. Roosevelt would have pronounced an emphatic opinion about them. If they were railroads he would bo pumping their heads together. If they were news papers he would be telling them how they ought to edit themselves. If they were canned corned beef he would be ciamoring to have Congress order tho dates stamped on the lapels. If they them. If they were interstate com- merce he would insist on the govern ment's regulating them to prove that such power existed under the constr. IuJlOn. II they were WOTuS WOutU be telling everybody how to spell them. If the Dipgley schedules were members of the 25th Infantry he would be giving them dishonorable discharge and pro hibiting their re-enlistment. If they were the disgusting details or the Thaw trial he would exclude them from the United States mail.
 The Republican organization is Theo- dore Roosevelt. In justice to the Pres ident 1t must be said that 1t has been years since he encouraged anybody to hope for some measure or relief from economic abuses" as MT. Cleveland phrases it. He long ago ceased to re- fer to the subject in his State papers. although he has graciously confirmed to the Massachusetts Republicans thelr right of petition. He never appointed a day of realization. and never hinted that there was such a day In the cal endar. Mir Cleveland has taken roc much for granted He might as t,Ll wei say that MT. Roosevelt has skiilIuils ta H1aus led the people to believe In santa GIaus s as to say that he has led them to hope for tariff reform.

BASKETBALL GAME AT
UNIVERSITY GYMNASIUM.

One of the most interesting games of
last year was the basketball game be-
tween the Sigma Beta Phi fraternity
and a university team. At that time
the fraternity was sure of winning the
game, but the university team won in
a very exciting contest. The sport was
fast and furious. This year the frat
has again challenged the university
students for a basketball game ard
the challenge has been eagerly ac-
cepted. The frat has endeavored to
secure the most promising basketball
men, and the university students in
lend to give them the same treatment
administered so easily last year. The
frat will probably play NOR, Price,
Dean Hunton, W%orthington and Cor
thall. The other students will prob
ably be represented by Jones, Crow
ley, Akeson, Wheeler, Roberts and
Tom Hunton, and there is every pros
pect that this will be the closest game
of the season. Lovers of basketball
who attend the game to be held in the
gymnasium on Saturday night will see
the most exciting game of this year.
Play will be started late on cou of
it being held On Saturday night.
