President of Cornell Addresses
Utah Teachers on Reformers
and Antitrust Law

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Dec. 22.-In
an address before the Utah teachers
association at the Tabernacle last night
DR.. Jacob q. Schurman. president OF the
Cornell university, said in part:
If asked TO name the man to whom
the great reform in elections is due
would unhestitatingly name William J..
Bryan.
More than any other man to arouse
the spirit which demands the apDlica-
tion of principles of general honesty
to public affairs has been Theodore
Roosevelt.
History Will show that the great re-
forms of the age began with the work
of Charles E. Hughes in the now
famous insurance Investigations in New
York and TO him is due the original
awakening.
The Sherman antitrust law must be
repealed. because it strikes at combi-
nation. which is the foundation of
twentieth century business"
