The Old Subscribers.

We sometimes wonder if newspa-
per men generally appreciate the old
subscriber at his true value, says the
Lansing (Iowa) Mirror. We mean
the old standby who takes the home
paper year after year, through evil
as well as through good report, and
pays his subscription regularly just
the same as he would any other hon
est debt. AS a general thing the old
subscriber is patient and slow to
wrath. He will overlook many little
sights from the editor, Sights which
the man who borrows his reading
would not stand for minute.

|ROCKFELLERS SUBPOENAED
Judge Lands, Of Chicago, Demands
Facts About the Standard Oil.
Courts Action is the Result of Re-
fusal of Attorneys to Supply FL
nancial Information Requested.

Chicago .-Subpoena 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 .. 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
the 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 500 ,240,0 900.
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.

Club life, as 1t 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 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 1niver-
pAIy, tAOAI WAuAS IuOuSuC lS COuCSu-
trated upon individual ambitions,
upon means 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.
THE present system of our life is
artificial and unwholesome.

GOOD FELLOWS ALL, AND EQUALS, At ONE COLLEGE
Princeton University Adopt Radical
Away With the Individual CIuhs Together
Residential 0uads- Present Club Le President
Wilson, DemoraIxns IN UnvshoI

Princeton, N. President Wood
row Wilson has just instituted a most
radical and complete reorganization
Of social life at Princeton University
one that marks departure from
the other big universities and which
will be studied with deep interest as
to it's 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 real
democracy, with each Quad" occupy
ing dormitories, dining rooms and
rooms for social enjoyment in COM
mon. Instead of the rivalry and Bit
ter feeling engendered by club cleo
tons and reflections, there will be
unity and desire for the common
good-true loyalty to the university.
President Wilson in. one phrase
summarizes the plan: ITO associate
the four classes in generally or
ganic 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-
scioushess 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 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.
