Riches at Yale.
(BostOn Herald.l

Professor BILLY" Sumner Of Yale =
officially known as Professor William
G. SUMMERTIME has attracted atten-
ton by his wise and pertinent COM
ments upon the recent financial hurri-
cane and it's cause, has often b cen
called by Yale men the best teacher
they had in college. Professor SUM
ner is now teaching sociology, but he
used to teach economics. and accord
ing to writer in the current Harper's
Weekly, he achieved the impressive
feat of making that subject entertain,
ing. Sumner was classmate of Will,
liam c. Whitney, who was very fond
OF the professor and who used to like
to play with him in New Haven. Sum
ner never got as rich as Whitney: he
never seemed to care to- He amused
his mind in another way, and he once
amused Whitney by telling
his old friend that the Yale corporation
had greatly increased his salary.
That's splendid" said Whitney.
"How much more. do they give you,
BiIl?"
"Two hundred and fifty dollars a
year" said Sumner.
And he always wondered why Whit
ney laughed so loudly and so long.

The intervening of a presidential
election with it's diverting incidents,
ought not to obscure the country's per-
ception of the main points of policy
that it is the business of the present
congress to deal with. The railroads
should have protection as we'll as reg
ulation; they should know their rights
as we'll as their duties: they should be
made to serve the public faithfully and
efficiently, and they should be allowed
to earn good returns upon their invest
lnents and their efforts as business or
CARNATIONS. The completion of Mr..
Roosevelt's railroad policy at the pres
emf, time ought to give stable equilib-
riunt to the railroad situation for
generation to come. Again, as respects
the big industrial corporations, Mr..
Roosevelt has shown that the law is
supreme and everybody is now ready
to admit it. But, altho the authority Of
law is vindicatedh the statute provis-
ions of law have been shown to be
very inadequate. and to some extent
absurd and unjust. Mr. Roosevelt lays
down a policy for the changing of the
statutes and for the better administra-
llOfl Oh LIe law. III us itdlIl OuellIle
this policy is right and Swise The
great businesses Of this country are
legitimate in their commercial motives
and in their general lines of conduct
The large way of doing business has
come to stay. But these enterprises
have to be subject to legal regulation,
and they cannot be properly supervised

The antiquary took more cranberry
sauce and refilled his glass.
"A Christmas dinner in feudal tines
he said, was served at II o'clock in
the morning. Ii began with plum pud-

it in their old-fashioned way; a suet

Next came boar's head on silver
platter decorated with holly. This dish
was heralded with flourish of trum-
pets and the lighting of the great Yule
log The head had a lemon in it's
mouth. A hot mustard sauce went
with it,
THE third course was peacock In
full plumage. Its beak was gilded and
it was stuffed with spices and sweet
herbs.
Geese and capons followed drenched
with ambergrease; and then came fru-

(Amercan Review of Reviews)
The high prices exist, there is no
question All average price levels
whether English or American. show in
eight years more than so per cent
increase. In other words. 1t requires
Sl.50 to buy what 81 would purchase
on the average eight years ago. II
these are not famine prices, because
during eight years the crops have been
bountiful, progress extremely rapid.
and the standard of living turnout the
world upon the increase, then the
citation of money. If the statistics
agree in showing the quantity of gold
increasing. the cost of production per
ton of ore diminished radically by new
inventions, and the worlds stock of
gold showing u marked and sudden in
crease, little doubt remains. The facts
are plain. A golden deluge Is already
upon us. In the year 100 the annual
production was $7,G00,000, in 1900 s12,-
100000 in 1900 1862 100000. in 1907
$425 100000 and the rate of increase is
accelerating. When we remember that
the larger amount of each years pro-
duction is added@to all that has been
produced before, unlike all other COM
modities. that at the present rate of
acceleration the worlds stock can
double in less than twelve years. and
finally. that the causes of the fold
flood are not sporadic and exception
al, but entirely rational. namely, the
ingenuity of chemists and metallur-
gists. who have succeeded in reduc-
ing the profitable working cost per ton
Of ore from s14 to less than 81 at the
present time, by new inventions, this
question of gold depreciation becomes
easily the financial problem of the
age. For the amount of cheap gold ore
is unlimited in nature. Mr.. Frederick
Upham Adams, in the August issue
of Success, quotes Mr.. John d. Rookie
Teller as saying: ut seems to me
that one of the most startling condi-
tons this country must face is the
of gold."-From "The

The late Senator Morgan used to en-
JOY telling a story illustrative of the
cheapness of military titles few years
after the civil war.
a traveller in the south was passing
thru certain populous country dis
trict and stopped to converse with a
farmer who had considerable number
OF men at work in his hay fields.
Most of these men are old soldiers,
said the farmer.
You don't tell me! Were any of
them officers?"
Two of them. One there was a
private, and the man beyond was u
corporal. but the man beyond him was
major and the man away over yon-
der was a colonel
Are they all good men?"
Well" replied the farmer, II amt
going to say anything against any man
that fought for the south. That pri-
Yates lirst-class man. and the coll
oners pretty good, too. but I've made
up my mind to one thing-I amt going
to hire any brgadier generals"
