.rfersou County Union
Professor Van Dyke Of Princeton
University bewails the low standard Of
life and knowledge of the rich mems
sons who attend college. he says:
1T is not luxury which threatens
them, but an incapacity for work, fos-
tered, and even trained by the willing
ness of parents to let them follow the
line of least resistance.
1t has always been this way with
rich men sons Every boy born poor
has reason to thank his lucky stars for
his poverty, The sons Of the rich do
not win their way in college or any
other field Of effort They do not con-
troll the destinies of government, of
trade and commerce nor of anything
but the selfish line of their own indul-
gence. The children of the rich de-
serve the sympathy Of discerning peo-
pie.

Punish Them All.

Milwaukee News.
Developments in the sugar customs
scandal, which are coming rapidly these
days, Indicate even more scandalous
conditions than were at first suspected.
Following the discovery Of the evasion
Of huge amounts of duties by the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company came the
news that the Arbucllles had paid over
$500, 900 claimed by The government in
vestigators.
Now the National Sugar Refining
company has suddenly awakened TO the
fact that il also owes the government
money and Ihas announced its intention
of paying over something like 500, 600.
Evidently the probe is reaching, not
to the cousciences but to the fears, Of
men who are more important than the
weighers and inspectors and other
small fry. The investigation is bearing
good fruit and should be kept up.
And it should be borne in mind by
the authorities that the principle has
been firmly established in Jurisprudence
that restitution does not wipe out the
otIense. Regardless Of whether restitu-
ton has been made or not, those guilty
of the enormous frauds against the gov
eminent should be promptly and vigor
ously punished. H., sugar barons have
fattcncd sufficiently from the people by
methods sanctioned 10y the law, and
now that it has been discovered tina, in
their greed they have been defrau9ing
the government in addition they should
be dealt gi.h severely as the laws
