restrained without undue interfer-
ence with legitimate business.
II Is agreeable to note in this re-
gard that the Republican platform
expressly and the Democratic plat
form impliedly, approve an amend
ment to the interstate comerce law.
by which Interstate railroads may
make useful traffic agreements lf
approved by the commission. This
has been strongley recommended by
President Roosevelt and will make
for the tenefit of the business
The Republican platform recon-
mends legislation forbidding the is
sue in the future of interstate rail-
way stocks and bonds without feder-
al authority. II may occur in. such
cases that the full value of the rail-
way, and as an elemtn thereof, the
value of the tangible property of the
railway, would be a relevant and
important factor in assisting the
proper authority to determine
whether the stocks and bonds to be
issued were to have proper security
behind them, and in such case, there
fore, there should be the and ma
chinery to make valuation of the
physical property.
Another suggestion in respect to
subordinate and ancillary machinery
necessary to carry out Republican
policies is that OF the incorporation
under national law or the licensing
htr N a 1foacA Il
try of companies engaged in inter-
state trade. The fact is that nearly
all corporations doing a commercial
business are engaged in Interstate
commerce, and II they were all re-
quired to take out a federal license
or a federal charter. the. burden up
on the Interstate commerce of the
country would become intolerable.
IL is necessary, therefore, to de-
wise some means for classifying and
insuring federal supervision of such
corporations as have the power and
temptation 10 effect restraints of in
terstate trade and monopolies Such
corporations constitute a very small
percentage Of all engaged In inter-
state business.
With such classification in view.
Mr.. Roosevelt recommended an
amendment to the antitrust law,
known as the Hepburn bill. which
provided for voluntary classification.
and created a strong motive therefor
by granting immunity from prosecu-
ton for reasonable restraints Of in
terstate trade to all corporations
which would register and submit
themselves to the publicity regula-
lions of the department of COM
merce and labor.

BAD CONDITION
LAID TO SALOONS
CAUSE OF cHlcAeo's ARMY
OF FAMIsHED LITTLE
ONES.
TEMPERANCE LEADER OPPOSES
PLAN TO PROVIDE FREE
BREAKFASTS.

Chicago, Oct. IA plan to give
free breakfasts daily to 10000 of Chi
cago's public school children, who are
declared in the special report to the
board of education to be "habitually
hungry developed opposition yester-
day. 1T would be ridiculous to spend
$4,000 a year for free breakfasts, 7
said Charles r. Jones, chairman of
the prohibition national committee.
1T would mean that drunken fathers
and mothers would have SO much
more to give to the saloons. Half the
$50 100000 which the saloons OF Chi
cago take each year comes out of the
pockets of the parents of the school
children. There are no less than
100000 starving school children in
the United States, and their condition
is due largely to the saloons. After
Kansas City, Kas., had enjoyed en-.
forced prohibition for less than 80
days, public schools reopening for
the fall term had to employ 18 new
teachers because no less than 600
boys and girls of u to Is years OF
age had come to school for the first
time. These gave as their reason for
non-attendance in former years that
they had to assist a drinking father
to earn living for the family. +
the law against all night and, Sunday
saloons were enforced here there
would be little need of free break
fasts. and if all the saloons were
closed all the time there would be
no need at ALL

pioned each one of the planks which
the Chicago convention had rejected.

WARNING CLASSES TO BE DIvl-
Madison, Oct. 3

We should retain the old lake rush
modified in such a way that the ele-
ment of danger in it will be decreased
rather than adopt an entirely new
form of class contest in which all OF
the underclassmen cannot take part,
was the verdict of the student confer
ence committee, which conferred with
PRESIDENT G. r. Van. Hise on the sub
ject OF this years rush yesterday af-
teInoon. The conference committee,
which was organized by the president
a few years ago to express student
sentiment, favored the following chan
ges ii he old rush:
l. Beth classes to be divided into
three sections to contest the owner
ship OF the lake shore for not more
than til n minutes each.
2. "A committee of-nOt less than
fifty upperclassmen to supervise the
rush and nut an immediate stop to
any unnecessary roughness.
3. No feat, flag of any kind which
might bring the rush to a focus to be
used. The committee in charge to
name the Victorious class.
The committee meeting was called
by President Van Hise for the express
! purpose of devising a rush in which
the liability of danger could be les
sened or if possible entirely done
away with The president has been
held responsible in the past by both
regents and general public for acct
dents which frequently happened, but
refused to be so this year. If the
committee had not recommended the
change they did the matter would
have been referred to the faculty, who
might have abolished the old institu
ton altogether
An exhaustive search into the
forms of class contests of all colleges
in the United States showed that
nowhere but in Wisconsin did Sc
large a body of contestants take part
at one time in a class rush. The
same research held the massing of
such large body as directly respon-
sible for accidentss The changes this
year will make it impossible for such
large numbers to get together at once
and this, together with an increased
committee of upperclassmen to stop
any brutality the Student Conference
committee expect will remove the OBJ
jectionable features of the rush The
only other form of rush considered
was that of a class field and track

student body and incapable of allow

ed last july, Mr.. Taft last night adj
dressed, a throng setting forth the
reasons and arguments why the Ne
braskan should not be elected. Judge
Taft paid his respects to Mr.: Bryan
many times. One new feature of his
address was in handling the subject
of the beet sugar industry which he
took as an Illustration of the demo
cratic proposals towards trusts. Beet
sugar, he said, was trust made arti
Gle.
The democrats proposed to put all
such articles on the free list Just to
punish the trusts This could. he
maintained, not only punish the
trusts, but also punish many limo
cent farmers and producers as well.
Talking Right Out.
Taft said things yesterday. His
language, particularly on the labor
question. was decidedly vigorous ami
positive
''This thing of Gompers having the
labor vote in his power and the la
boring men believing the lies he
tells is something ] complain of.
THE laboring men ought to look al
the record and see which party has
done things in their behalf. If you
viii examine the legislative record
you will find not line in the fedora
statute books that was put there by

put there by Bryan when he was

ing all underclassnen to take part,
the proposition was not accepted.
1t was pointed out that the rush
generally puts stop to hazing and
that if its spirit were altogether taken
away hazing might grow and expand
as it has done at other universities
and colleges. Hazing oftentimes is
rougher and more Objectionable than
the rush at wisconsin. 1t remains to
be seen, however, whether the modi-
fications are effective, if they are not
the cid rush should be abolished and
the president should not hesitate to
take the matter out of the hands of
the students and refer it to the fac
ulty. Some form of freshman-sopho-
more contest may be admissible only
If it does not give opportunities for
brutality.
Green Cap Graft.
The conference committee also dis
cussed the question of the monopoly
and consequent high price of the
green caps which freshmen are com
that the caps are selling at the Coop
for ST apiece and that the profits ac-
crue to committee of sophomores.
This procedure seems to be but an
ether of the petty university crafts
which form part of our blessed higher
educational system. A committee,
consisting of Kenneth F. Burgess,
Obert Sletton and ]. L. Thompson
was appointed to look into the matter
NJ c. Riley and F. w. Ives are the
