Senator Tod of Youngstown has a
pretty level head and he got close to
the truth recently when he was con
sidering one kind of officials he re-
marked:
Conditions are changing all the
time and do not believe that the
same methods OF government which
We're In force years ago viii be effec-
tive now in different circumstances.
The rules have got to change with the
times in order TO preserve a popular
government
81 don't believe Senator Doster
could say: TO HI with public opin-
ion!' as he did In the state Senate the
other day. If the recall was in effect
II seems to me that Senator Doster Is
working for the people and If ] was
working for man / wouldn't be able
to come out openly and say; TO HI
with his opinionp If a man feels that
he cannot be in sympathy with his
employer us time for him to quit or
be fred. Generally one of those two
things happen to a man in that frame
of mind. But Senator Doster was safe
for two years and consequently he felt
free to say: TO HI with him em-
ployers' opinions"

New Haven Conn, May 17-For
the young man who will have to
make a living in the industrial world
college education in the classics Is
practically wasted time, according to
Andrew Carnegie, whose ideas on
college education and sports were
published in the Yale News today.
"Do you thing that underrate the
gems which the early literature of
our race holds" wrote Andrew Car
negle But why spend your pre-
cious youth on those things which
in after life will only give food aud
clothing to a chosen few. In ma
jority of cases the average college
graduate knows neither what TO do
nor which way to turn II he is
thrown on his own resources. He
has to unlearn much OF what he has
learned. He is even untitled TO start
at the bottom ,of the ladder"
Regarding sports. Carnegie believ
ed that they would always be needed
ITO keep the colleglan's energy from
effervescing In undesirable forms"

New York, May 1.-THE feature of

ufacturers' association convention was

New York Fire Department Edward
f. Croker on methods. of fire pro-
lection. He criticized severely the in
difference of manufacturers. declaring
that they place the dollar above hu-
man life and have found e cheaper
to hire fresh help than to properly
safeguard factories. Croker frankly
told the delegates that he had little

company got down TO work today or
plans 20 meet the decision of the

tive scheme had been drafted In an
ticipation of the mandate of the
lower court being upheld, but the

has obviated all necessity for haste
It is not likely that the final decis-
Ion Of the company will be made
public for some time TO come. Mean
while, persons vitally Interested are
speculating and II Is generally ac-
cepted that new companies whose ter
rltory viii be definitely defined win
be organized.
After careful inspection Of the
decision of the supreme court, Mortz
Rosenthal. who was chief counsel for
the Standard when the case was on
trial before the lower courts, said
today that the Standard could reor-
ganize by being divided into the fol
lowing sections; Producing. manu-
featuring, transportation and selling
companies.
"The decree OF dissolution" ne
said, Seems To concede the right to
the subsidiary companies to combine
in a single organization of each
subdivision whose operations are
similar such as all producers, all man
ufacturers, etc. II would, therefore
seem to me that the company could
be broken up into four parts, each
TO be operated within the statute, and
thus meet the letter and spirit Of the
decision"

tious similarly in restraint of trade
and similarly hanging on this inter-
probation of the law can now by a
shuttle. do what the Standard oil
company can do-make themselves
appear to be reasonably in re-
straint of trade and so escape the
immediate Indignation Of the peo-
pie.
But they will answer before lang,
nevertheless. For either the law It.
self will be quickly amended or else
the people will seek to destroy the
privileges enjoyed by the trusts. I
am confident also that this decision
will so widely weaken confidence In
courts as to quicken the movement
for the recall of judges.

"MoNTE cRIsTo."
Which Will be Seen at the GranS
Next Week

Which Will be Seen at the Grand
Next Week.
. For the third week of the engage
ment Of the Lewis-Oliver Players at
the Grand, commencing with a mat
inee tomorrow at 2:30, the dramati-
cation of Alexander Dumas novel,
Monte Cristo" will be the bill.
Interest is always aroused when this
famous old drama is announced, for
those who have seen it in years past
always want to attend again, and to
those who have never seen it, it is
revelation Of dramatic construction,
tense situations, refreshing dialogue
and duels Of the olden days. For over
half century this sterling play has
been given to applauding millions, and
its drawing powers appear undimin-
ished. The great storm scene, follow
ing the escape Of Edmund Dantes from
the terrifying surroundings of the Cha
teau DIFF. is one of the greatest master
pieces the stage has ever seen, and
when he mounts the storm-beaten rock
and shouts "The world is mine!' the
audiences invariably go wild with en-:
thusiasm. Written by the master dra-
matist of all times, Alexander Dumas,
it is conceded to be his best play. The
character of Edmund Dante is splen-
did specimen of noble mankind. He is
fine, strong, handsome, noble and gen.
erous to fault, and that he should be
the victim Of a cruel conspiracy which
robs him of sixteen long years of his
life is the cause for great regret. He
returns from his imprisonment, faces
his accusers, brings them to justice,
one after the other, and succeeds. in
Winning back the woman from whose
arms he is torn in the first act. No
expense will be spared by Messrs. Lew
is & Oliver in creating in the stage en-
vironment faithful replica of the pic
turesque locale in which the action OF
the Dumas story is placed, and the cos,
tuning will faithfully illustrate the
garb of the people of France in the
period of the play. Mr.. Rupert Drum
will play the leading role.
For the week OF May 18th the Lewis
Oliver Players will present ..Ten
Nights in a Barroom.''
