white is best and whatever is black is
worst, whatever is white is of heaven
and God and whatever is black is OF
hell and the devil, that whatever is
white is superior and whatever is
black is inferior. This error due to the
ignorance, numerical predominence
and biased literature of the whites
needs vigorous refutation that our
people have their minds disabused OF
such erroneous impression.

A New Factor in College Problems.

Randolph s. bourne, In the Atlantic.
An ever larger proportion of college stu
dents today comes from the business class
where so years ago 1t came from the pro-
fessional class. This means a difference
between the intellectual background of
the home that the man leaves and Of the
college TO which he comes, very much
greater than when college training was
still pretty much the exclusive property
of the professional man or the solid mer-
chant, and almost an hereditary matter.
For, nowadays, probably majority OF
undergraduates are sent to college by
fathers who have not had college educa-
ton themselves, but who, reverencing, as
all Americans do, education If not learn
ing, are ambitious that their sons shall
have it's benefits. These parents can we'll
afford to set their sons up handsomely so
that they shall lose nothing Of the we'll
rounded training that makes up college
life and although 1t is doubtful whether
their idea of the result Is much more than
a vague feeling that college will give their
boys tone. and polish them off much in
the way that the young ladies' boarding
school poEshes off the girls, they are a
serious factor to be reckoned with In any
discussion Of college problems.

". |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
,ome to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method Of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller. which is a backward
tep, There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiu'
nate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
| favor. writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear
plain and definite that 1t could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
| public and certified by public ac-
countant. There should be board
| of examiners in each state to look aft.
er these corporations just as our ma
| tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex'
| anime the records OF all the direc'
torates Of these companies.

The Golden Are Light.

In place OF the pure white glare-cold
and unkind in it's whiteness-of the usual
form OF arc-light. still more glaring ra-
dance, but of soft and pleasing golden
color, is now everywhere seen.
The golden color OF this light Is due
to a peculiar preparation Of the carbon
pencils, which are said to contain the
salts OF various somewhat rare minerals;
but their. exact constituents are not re-
vealed by the manufacturers.
The golden arc-light gives q curious
spectrum quite unlike the continuous
band afforded by ordinary carbons. which
is very similar to that Of daylight. The
spectruro yielded by the new carbons is
discontlnuous. and consists Of a number
of brilliant strips separated by spaces
Of darkness. The red, orange and green
are especially conspicuous. while blue and
the colcrs beyond 1t are scarcely rep-e-
scented. The carbons have the disadvant-
age Of giving a somewhat unsteady light,
and for this reason they are held by many
to be more suitable for outdoor than for
irterior illumination.

 ATTACKED IN SENATE
Bourne Says Federal Patronage
 Was Used In Nomination.

Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon in the course of q speech in the sen ate made an attack on President Taft and on former President Roosevelt. The senator was discussing the Ore gon plan" of voting direct for dele gates to national party conventions. He charged that President Roosevelt used the federal patronage to nomi- nate his successor in office and to "thwart the will of the people,"
 'I have as much respect for the ward heeler who buys a vote with money as l have for the president who uses his federal patronage to influence the ac- ton of members of congress on pend ing legislation" said Senator Bourne. "The Beverly letter issued last year, if we are to consider 1t authentic, con fessed that federal patronage had been given to those senators and members who acted in accordance with the pres ident's desires and was withheld from those who did not follow them in matters of legislation.
 , "The president through the power he yields with his office is the head of the biggest political machine in the world, and this is true whether he di- rects 1t himself or delegates the power to others. 1t is pernicious in either case"
