Special Sessions Cost

The defeat administered to reciproc-
ity by Canada serves as reminder
that the special session of congress.
Just closed, foots up on the books OF
the nation as a total loss.
Called by President Taft to pass his
reciprocity bill, the members Of con-
gress, fresh from their constituencies
and with the desires of the people up
permost in their minds, not only pass
ed the reciprocity measure but also
placed before the president the far.
mers' free list" bill and revisions OF
the cotton and wool schedules.
Despite his Characterization of the
two latter items, as ''indefensible" I'M
der the Payne-Aldrich law. and the
fairness of the farmers free list" as
a justiRable companion to the reciproc-
ity measure, President Taft vetoed
all three. The reciprocity bill alone
was graced with his signature and it
now lies buried under the votes of the
Canadians.
The special session carries with it
a far greater loss than its mere cost
in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There is the loss of confidence in
President Taft, due to his instability
and inability to steer a straight and
true course.

There's your commission and cold
storage men gathering up food sup
plies and holding them for years for
higher rates, sometimes rendering this
food unfit for use.
Even our commercial ethics has
rendered the Scriptural text as fol-
lows: 1.-THE earth is the landlords
and the fullness thereof" There is
enough wasted, under this regime, to
maintain many families in comfort
a long time.
The remedy? Listen: Collective own
ership of all the means of production
and distribution, as set forth in the
Socialist platform. Every worker
would then receive the full value of
his product or services, or it's equiva-
lent, which he could exchange with
others for theirs, thus eliminating the
wastage and stealings from which our
parasites are fattening. Every COM
munity could have it's emporium
through which these exchanges could
be effected, through the use of money
as a medium of exchange, instead of
being controlled by financial jugglers.

Friends within the limits OF Indiana
and Western Yearly Meetings have
made poor investments Of their means.
Property has been left in wills to vari-
Gus enterprises that have not proved
permanent or fruitful. and much mon
ey has been wasted. Often large sums
are left to children who prove unwor-
thy or incapable, and in this way for
tunes have been dissipated. We are all
accountable for cur stewardship. 1t is
but a matter of good business pro-
cedure for every person to make a
will, and in doing this. friends of Earl
ham should remember that the Col
lege is permanent institution. that it
will go on blessing humanity through
countless generations, and that any
amount placed in the hands of the En-
dowment Trustees will multiply in
fruitfulness. During the year some
wills have been made in which Earl
ham has been remembered, and We

JOSEPH MARTIN.

Joseph Martin, the Canadian-born
meber of the British parliment who re-
turned to Canada and took an active
part in the recent election campaign,
was born in Milton, Ont, Sept. "a,
1852. After leaving school he became
first telegraph operator, then a
teacher. and then barrister. 1t was
when practising at Winnipeg that he
entered politics as a member of the
Manitoba legislature, sitting continu-
ously from 1888 until 1892, and be-
coming successfully encouragement
and railway commissioner. In 1897 he
went west to Vancouver, and, not con-
tent with both practicing law and own
ing and editing a newspaper, he en-
tered the Provincial legislature, and
passed from the offices of attorney
general and minister of education to
that of premier. In 1909 he went to
live in London and last year was cleo
ted to the British House of Commons
for the constituency of East st. Pan
chas.

New Whitewater Bridge

A New York engineer is authority
for the statement that the proposed
South End bridge over the Whitewater,
II constructed Of reinforced concrete,
will cost at least $4,000. The esti-
mated cost of steel bridge is $4,000,
and the county commissioners are un.
derstood to be in favor of the cheap
er structure.
Rome's glorious 1000 years old ruins
contain many examples OF the lasting
qualities of concrete construction.
Enough. It is safe to say, to show that
the first cost of a concrete structure
IL the last. Wayne county's expert
ence with the dilapidation and alb
normally high depreciation OF the
Main Street and Doran steel bridges
should be a sufficient argument
against any more such structures. If
further argument is necessary 1t is
right at our doors. In all its new con-
struction work in our county, the Penn.
sylvania railroad has built all its new
bridges OF concrete.
A new steel bridge over the White
water means a higher tax rate for US
and for future generations.
A new reinforced concrete bridge
over the Whitewater means reduced
tax rate for US and for future genera
lions. ..

Reorganization Made.
In the more restricted sense of edu-
plishment of the year, perhaps, was
the thorough-going reorganization of
the requirements for graduation. For
many years the College has required
each candidate for a degree to choose
a major subject to be pursued for at
least three years of daily recitations.
In addition he was required to take
certain prescribed subjects, the bal
ance of the work being elective. 1t
was felt by the faculty that this sys-
tenn might be improved. The chief OBJ
jections to it We're that it encouraged
too early specialization; that the
amount of work required in some of
the prescribed subjects was so small
as to be practically valueless, and
that the elective subjects were frequ-
emily, if not usually chosen because
of reasons not educational in their ma
ture. Under the cid system, at one ex-
IRENE, students have graduated, not
so much from Earlham as from a sim
gle department Of Earlham, and at the
other extreme, students have made
enough credits TO graduate" without
any clearly defined reference to sub.
