Rockefeller Raps University.

The faculty and students OF the Uni
yersity of Chicago have been much stir
red up by the reported criticism made
by John ID. Rockefeller while he was in
Chicago to attend court as a witness In
reply to a question as to what he thought
of the univcrSity'S work, the oil king is
reported as saying: The only regret
have concerning the university is that
there are not as many men as successful
as | hoped there would be after their
schooling there. But | am advised by
some of my friends that the future may
show better results than the present. If
the future will show thai it was a wise
undertaking, | shall be satisfied" In
reply to these remarks. the members Of
the faculty arc disposed to question the
Interpretation which Mr.. RSkefcller
makes of the word success. If he means
the ability to make money. they admit
that not so many of the graduates have
been successful as might be desired. But
they maintain that making money does
not necessarily mean success. The i'm
preston prevails among the student body
that the founder and bcnefactor Of the
great institution has been diSplpased by
numerous radical doctrines preached by
certain members of the faculty. it being

RepOrt on CITY Ownership.

The investigation of public owncr-hil
Of public utilities in Europe and this
country by the National Civic Fedora
ton's commission has resulted in two re-
ports, one by Prof. John X. Commons Of
Wisconsin university favorable to the
proposition and the other by J. w. Sulli-
van of the Clothing Trades Bulletin dis
approving. Prof. Commons says they
found the privately owned utilities in
England dividing surplus for civic bet
termcnts because of the prevailing ten
dency toward public ownership and its
example in cities where it had been
adopted. Many have shrewdly arranged
copartncrship plans and have recognized
the labor unions. He is convinced that
the recognition of the unions is the safe
guard against political corruption in pub
lie ownership and that private ownership
offers no escape from politics. Editor
Sullivan says that in all but the most

land no street car business has ever been
a private enterprise, in the sense that the
word is used in this country, thus making
comparison with American conditions un.
fair. Taking Syracuse. Allegheny and
Wheeling as the best samples of Ameri-
can municipaization offered, they found
conclusive evidence of political rotten
ness in each case. He regards it as "a
project to restrict men in their activi-
ties by methods foreign to the American
genius"

Ike Of Chemicals in Food.

The Department OF Agriculture has
promulgated regulations governing the use
of benzoate of soda and sulphur fumes as
preservativcs of fruits and other foods.
In accordance with the prdeision of law
that food products shall not contain sub
stances which lessen their wholesomeness,
orders were issued that no drug, chemical
or harmful or dcetcrious dye of pre-
seryative should be us,d. These regula-
tions were temporarily withheld, owing
to strong protests from certain quarters.
The statement now issued permits the
use of common salt, sugar, wood smoke,
potable distilled liquors and condiments,
and. pending further investiga ton, the
use of saltpeter.

from what he understands it TO be in
Delaware, as in Maine the Democrats
and the Prohibitionists stand for the rigid
enforcement of the prohibitory law. Some
Of the Democrats there favor high license
and others want local, option. Enforce
ment they believe, would bring it about.
They do not have local option, that is, the
right Of the people to vote on the question
IN Maine. as the sale of liquor is forbid

Smith declares that in Biddeford, Prohi-
