TRY A NEW PLAN.


Why do people so cordially hate the
great corporations? Probably because
the great corporations have fooled
the people so much, by buying legisla-
tors, congressman, and hiring lawyers

rulnouS to the great corporations, why
should not an appeal be made directly
TO the people, rather than to hired lob
pylsts! The people have no desire to
pc unfair. The recent correspondence
between John D. Archbold and certain
politicians shows plainly that the
standard Oil company paid out money
to influence legislation, and that 1t also
paid out money to influence the ap-
pointment of judges. This angers the
people, naturally. On the other
hand, some managers of great business
institutions say the attitude of the peO-
pie is so unfair that it became neces-
sary to bride legislators. We doubt
this. Has the plan of appealing to the
people direct, through the newspapers,
been tried? And wouldn't this cost less
than the employment of lobbyists, who
are always extravagant, and have a
horde of favorites who do nothing? The
old plan OF railroad attorneys distribut-
ing passes to favorites greatly annoyed
the plain people. They knew it was dis
honest; that 1t meant corruption. Now
there has been a shakeup, why should
not the corporations try another plan?
In future, people will demand more of
off1ceholders and of public corporations.

Tom L. Johnson, who has achieved
all sorts of fame as the mayor of
Cleveland and the fight he made there
for three cent car fares, has always
been credited with being made of the
right kind of stuff and now there is no
doubt of it. He announces that he has
lost all his personal property. He will
have to give up his palatial residence
and move to a cottage. He will also
have to deny himself the pleasures of
automobiling and many other things
In other words he is fiat broke, but
only financially. His spirit is not
broken in the least and he will start in
all over again just as though he was
never once a millionaire. 1t is not
prohesying too much to say that if his
health and strength are preserved to
him he will again become a man of

Delaware College Needs Money.

Delaware College is in need OF funds
for general expenses, and unless the
alumni or other friends Of the institu.
ton give their aid, the next Legislature
will be asked for an appropriation. 1t
is estimated that S., 900 is needed. The
reason why the college should have
such a fund is that the money secured
from the government can be used only
for certain specified objects, such as
agriculture, engineering, etc. In view
Of this fact, there is very little money
available for their departments, such
as history, philosophy, and ancient and
modern languages. Because OF this
lack Of funds, also, extensive repairs to
grounds and buildings are not possible.
Money is needed to increase the heat
ing facilities OF the college. The rooms
are Improperly heated, for while the
buildings have been enlarged and in
creased in number, the heating facilities
have not been pTOpOrtiOnstely enlarged.
The library is in need Of money, too,
ss there are no funds provided for the
salary Of a librarian and for the pur'
chase Of books in various fields. Should
such an appropriation be made, it could
be used at the discretion OF the presi-
lent aud the trustees where it is most
needed. The Slate has been very con-
ideTate Of the needs Of the college in
he past and its aid is sincerely appTe.
