Pigs is Pigs.

Pigs, at $40 a hundredweight, is
pigs, and the town of Meyersdale, Pa,
woke up the other day to realization
of the fact. A special meeting of the
town council was called, and an ordi-
nance that prohibited the raising or
keeping Of hogs within the town limits,
was repealed. The next day more
than a thousand sites were built, and
the country district was secured for
half grown pigs. In the future, the
fair maiden of Meyersville will be
ecoarted on her way to slop the pigs;
odd neighbors will meet at the pig
poems TO visit, and lovers will meet in
the cleaning at a convenient pig sty.
And why not? There is money in
pork, Meyersville has been wasting
ats slops, and the pig offers a solution
'ofeshe garbage problem, as well as re-
plenishing. the family purse. Those

I noticed in a daily newspaper
recently that there were collected from
students of the university one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for this,
that and the other, says the Anoka
Union. This great sum contributed
by boys and girls, many of them,
striving and working to gain an
education when they should not be
required to pay a single cent. The
state university with its gigantic
school fund obtained from lands, it's
biennial appropriations from the
legislature to enlarge its campus, to
erect new buildings and pay current
expenses, should be free institution
where the rich and the poor boy can
get an education without bankruptine
themselves. With this collection in
view; the school book trade, the many
deposits here and there for this OF
that at the beginning of each schoo
year, begin to believe that our state
university is great graft, one tina
should be carefully investigated AMI
brought down to hard pan.

A New England admirer of Long
Gellow proposes that the afternoon of
February q of each year be set aside
in the public schools as time to give
special attention to the poets life and
works. Longfellow was doubtless a
great American poet, but he already
has sufficient place in the schools by
being represented in every reader put
forth since he lived and wrought. And
there is already too much foolishness
in the schools and too little reading,
writing and arithmetic. Unless this
tendency toward holidays and special
days in schools comes to an end soon,
it will be necessary for teachers to
take course ia vaudeville to provide
the needed variety, and about all the
children will take, is a vacation

In it's brief offered in the supreme
court as a defense against its threat
ened dissolution for lawbreaking, the
Standard OH company makes three
points:
First, that there is no principle of
law or policy that requires a manu-
tacturer to give away profit which he
can make by economizing in manufac-
turing.
Second, that net profit of Is per
cent annually is s'a reasonable one for
a great manufacturing business"
Third, that few, if any, manufacture
ing enterprises make less than Is per
cent profits.
However true these statements may
be as to small Individual, partnership
or corporate manufacturing enter
prises, they are wholly untrue as to
vast corporations which have, for all
practical purposes, created mon
opoly.
The assumption that the owners of
such monopofes have right to the
full profits of economies made posi-
BILE by invention, the ingenuity of en-
ployes and the increased purchasing
power of the people, without regard to
the cost of living or the rate Of wages
paid their employees, is equivalent to
the claim that such monopoly is
greater than the government and
greater than the people, and that the
demands of its stockholders for divi-
dends are superior to the demand of
labor for a living wage and the de-
mand of the public for commodities at
a reasonable price. That assumption
is absurdly unjust and unfair, and to
follow it to its logical conclusion
means to breed revolution.
Higher than the right of trust stock
holders to dividends are the right of
the public to good service at fair pri-
ces and the right of labor to living
wage. Industry is entitled to fair pay
for its services, but to no more. Capt.
tai is entitled to fair return upon It's
honest investment, but to no more.
And the time is coming when what
constitutes fair pay for corporate SER
vices and what is a fair dividend re-

turn upon invested capital will not be

tors, but by the people, through their

Says the Omaha World-Herald, dis
cussing the Standa ard Gil case:
Suppose ten men started to live and
do business with each other on an
island. Suppose all had equal health,
equal ability and equal fortunes in the
beginning. Suppose five of them OBJ
tanned control of the production and
sale OF the five great necessities of life
on that island, and were allowed to fix
their own prices. How long would it
be before the other five began to COM
plain of the Increased cost of liv-
ting?" How much longer would it be,
if this condition continued, before the
five Stree men, became the literal and
helpless slaves of the five monopo-
lists?''
And how long would the five slaves
consent to remain slaves? Not long.
Not nearly SO long, in that island
without courts to delay and confuse
with legal hairsplitting, without poll
tical parties to blind and delude, with
out sycophants to praise and palayer,
as it has taken in this country to ava
ken. It would not be long, on that is
land, after the five men found them
selves slaves, before they would refuse
to be slaves any longer. In the face
Of hunger and slavery, cherished no.
tions of the sacredness Of property
rights would be swept away on a tide
of revolt. If the five oppressed men
were wise, they would take over the
five monopolies and deal with them
justly to themselves and to their own
ers. If they were not wise, but if they
had been oppressed so long that they
we're desperate and reckless, they
would probably seize the monopolies
of the five monopolists without gentle
ness or mercy, and the monopolists
would be lucky if they got off alive
and were permitted to become pension
ers of the five who were lately slaves,
and who had become masters.
Oppression is dangerous business;
dangerous alike to oppressor and OPP
