WAR ON THE LOAN SHARKS.
Eastern Employers Plan Remedy 10
the Abuse.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune
It is an interesting experiment which
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is about
to make In it's endeavor to better the con-
dition of its employees. The corporation
has forbidden each and every man on
its payrolls to assign his wages to any
body, under penalty of immediate suspen-
sion or dismissal. 1t is hoped that this
will drive away from the preserves that
familiar animal, the loan shark, whose
Tavages, at one time or another, have
disturbed almost every large employer in
the land. The move gains in significance
by the report that the Pennsylvania and
the Reading will adopt the same policy.
II vigorously conducted, the test will af-
feet. directly and indirectly, nearly a state
full Of people; and, II results are good, 1t
will bring into general use an equitable
loan system which has already been tried
out on a small scale and found highly
profitable to all concerned.
The railway companies cannot reason
ably prevent their workers from visiting
the usurer unless small loans are pro-
durable from other sources. Although
heartily desp'sed even by his most faith
full and constant patrons, the loan shark,
under existing conditions, fills an inevI-
table niche in the gallery Of economic in
st.tutiuns. Laboring men freq emily must
have ready money, and II is an old story
that thousands o. them have not so in
ready cash between themselves and hun
ger. The loan shark IS virtually the only
man TO whom appeal can regularly be
mad in emergency; accordingly, the al
tTuistis employer who tabooes him is NOR
ally obliged to see that his place will be
filled by a more lenient lender whenever
a woTkingman is reduced to honorable
need. Several prominent manufacturer
and department store propTletors, moved
to indignation by the loan sharks out
rageOus eXtortion, have assume his func-
lions. in various ways they have succeeded
in Teducing the borrowers cost to lit
tie more than ordinary interest rates AZ
the same time clearing for themselves a
respectable profit. The scheme 2leases
the employees and incidentally improves
shop discipline, by making each mans
record and reputation a measure Of his
borrowing capacity. The railroads will
doubtless round out their fight against
the usurers by initiating this beneficent
system. II not directly, then through
the medium Of some reputable society,
Thu Will be bound another tie Of friend
shin between employer and employe.

vote than Georgia, is democratic by a
much smaller margin. The state gave
Judge Parker 10000 plurality, while
Bryan carried II by but $1,000. The
democratic party in the state is torn
by factions, while the republicans are
united as they have not been for years.
With the vigorous campaign which the
rational committee plans to carry on
in that state, the chances are very ia
vorable for Tennessee being placed in
the republican column this year,
Chances are more than favorable for
republican success in Kentucky, and
North Carolina is debatable ground.

fornia.
Party ties hang loosely and a solid south
may be badly broken and a solid north
'shivered into irregular sections.
The republican party has been reorgan-
lied and is in new positions. Whether as
strongly entrenched as of old remains to
be seer.
The democratic party is stronger In the
north than in 1896, 1900 or 1904.
There will be nothing m-onotonous about
this campaign. Both leaders will be in the
thick of the contest from start to finish,
and a slip in speech or pen or action may
be decisive of the struggle.

National Chairman Hitchcock, recalling
Mr. Cortelyou's announcement for -four
years ago, that he would give out no in
terviews whatever during his service as
national chairman, and that any utter
ances purporting to be such which might
appear in the newspapers should be re-
garded as spurious, has gone one step
further. Hitchcock now declares that he
will make no predictions, or forecasts, at
any time during the campaign. This is
good common sense. 1t is the business of
a national manager to try to carry every
state in the union, and the efforts of party
workers in none of them should be allowed
to flag by the acknowledgment that they
are in the rainbow-chasing belt.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGE,
Eastern Education
for Young Women
A Unique Course OF Instruction mat
Enables Lnscll Seminary Tor YOUNG
Women at Auburndale. Mess. to
Excel the Best of Othcr Schools.


While no one will gaiusay the many de-
sirable features of the golden, glorious West
as a place to live, we must all admit that
when 1t comes to the matter Of educationi
and more especially the education of youni
women, the East, with its many advantagel
of facility and association, Is proverbiallJ
the place TO learn.
At Lasell the first requisite considered ID
the education Of q young woman Is physical
welfare. The location of the seminary ID
particularly fortunate, being, rs it is, in the
mids of most beautiful and healthful resis
dental district, only ten miles from Boston.
On the Charles River, near by, Lasell stu,
dents enjoy the use of the schools canoes
and boats, and no one is allowed to 20
canoeing unless she can swim. Lasell was
the first school in the United States 10 teach
swimming. There are fine tennis courts
on the grounds. Military drill twice a week
has proved a potent influence for the devel-
opment Of agraceful figure aud carriage. A
competent nurse resides at the school, with
no duty but to look after the health Of the
students and to regulate their exercises.
1t is in the many unusual branches of in
struction, however, in the methods used and
the objects sought, that Lasell Seminary ex-
cells. There is, of course, the preparatory
year, withits algebra, English, Greek history,
drawing, Latin and German, followed by
French, botany, music and painting, geome-
try, physics, higher mathematics, literature
architecture, chemistry, astronomy, psychol.
ogy, etc. Then, in addition to these
branches, there is thorough and scientific
instruction that covers in the widest range
the theory and practice Of Social and Do
nestle Economics, knowledge of which is so
essential to the well-bred woman who is at
once cultured, accomplished and selE-reliant.
Here a girl is taught the principles of
hygiene and sanitation, and the science of
foods that may some time mean the differ
ence between health and i~nvalidism. The
art of entertaining, of house-furnishing and
management, even the more prosaic duties
Of marketing and bread-making, of dress
cutting, fitting and mending are here ele-
waited TO the rank of a science and investi-
gated in detail. 4
No mere description can adequately cover
the wonderful work that is done at Lasell.
which has for its unique motto "Women for
homes" A personal visit is best, ifpossible,
but, if inconvenient, a request by mail to
Lasell Seminary, Auburndale, Mass, will
secure a comprehensive illustrated catalogue
that Is we'll worth the careful consideration
Of those interested.

Judge Grosscup, it seems to us, went a
trifle out of his way to whack Judge Ian
dis for having tried the Standard Oil COM
pany Of Indiana and convicted the Standard
Oil company of New, Jersey. The whole
question in the case wal whether the latter
corporation was not the real defendant In
court. The case was similar to the frauds
sometimes successfully worked upon judges
in criminal cases, where a thief With a po-
litical pull is convicted, and the political
pullers substitute another man to be sen-
fenced and incarcerated. This has been
done a number of times in New York. Judge
Lands had to decide the question whether
the Indlana oil company was not in fact the
New Jersey oil trust. What did he do? AS
sumo the facts? Not by any means. He
called Rockefeller into court and secured
from him an admission hat the two COM
panies were one and the same. Judge Lam
dis then simply refused to be a party to
a fraud against justice. He declared, in
effect, tina whereas one large darby had
been discovered in the woodpile, the friends
of the rebate frauds were trying to substi-
tute a small p~ickaninny for purposes of
sentence, and to impress him with the idea
that this colored boy was poor and that 1t
was his first offense.
Judge Grosscup may find many sound and
sounding legal Authorizations to condemn
Judge Lands action; but, after all, 1t had
common sense and common fairness back

Easy Money from Corporations.

Colonel Bryan held out the glad hand
for $1,000 of the money Of the s~oulless
corporations who manufacture photograph

Of an honorarium for Services" the money
could be turned into the democratic cam
paign fund without an infractlon Of the
law. Here is a fine example Of a way to
evade the statute and the pledge. Any
