TICKETS
Plan THIS YEAR
Students Have Opportunity
of Buying Admissions to
All Activities.

During the summer vacation a plan
was worked out whereby students at
the University of North Dakota will be
able to purchase season tickets to all
college activities including, athletic.
debating and o%ratorical contests. These
tickets are now being sold to all who
wish to buy them for SIS each and by
rious associations paying propositions.
Those in charge of the sales claim
that they will be able to sell over 500
tickets for the year and this money,
together with the money from single
admissions during the different sea-
sons ought to pay all expenses and
leave a substantial sum besides.
The university board Of trustees was
asked to charge each student IS extra
at registration time for the support Of
these organizations, but the PROPOSE
.tion was turned down as the trustees
did not believe that the plan was FEAST
BILE. While nothing definite Is known
about the division of the money taken
in from the sale of these season
tickets, the athletic association will
pobably receive S7h per cent. the ora
%torical association 7h per cen and
the debating board 5 per cent.
During the past few years these or
CARNATIONS have had an extremely
meet and the new plan will help along
financial lines. 1t is hoped.
For each student to attend all Of
these contests would ordinarily cost
SIS and thus it can easily be seen that
the student body will be benefited by
the new system. Aside from the
money side of the proposition the sea-
son ticket idea is a fine one as it will
aid materially in developing college
spirit at the ~" II the students have
their tickets they will attend both big
and small contests and this cannot
help but stir up enthusiasm.

PUT IN
COAL SUPPLY
Dealer Say There is Some
Fuel in Town, But
Not Much,

With the first real wintry sign this
morning. the coal shortage question
was forcibly brought to the minds of
Grand Forks residents.
Local dealers are very reticent in
talking about the situation, but one
of them admitted this afternoon that
there would be q shortage.
There is still considerable coal in
town, he said. but all Of the dealers
have an unusually large number of
orders booked ahead. In one or two
cases, there are not enough teams to
assure prompt deliveries. but the
dealers are doing their best to keep
those who have orders in supplied
until the entire amount can be deliv-
cred.
When asked this afternoon whether
there was enough coal in town to last
until the first of the year. one dealer
said 1t was impossible to say. The
present supply would no last very
long. but as long as lake transporta-
ton lasts more coal will keep coming
to the city. The shipments will cease
before long, however. and the resi-
dents will then have to depend on the
coal that is in town for their supply.

BATH TUB TRUST
: IS Prosecuted
Sherman Law More Ener-
waiting Than Venom
of Anarchy

Washington, Sept. 24-The enom Of
anarchy could not elaborate a more
enervatins. paralyzing prescription
than the Sherman antitrust law,
translated literally. declared attorneys
for n so-called bath tub trust" in
a defense Of that organization FLED
with the supreme court of the United
States. Their brief constituted he
opening Of the fight before the high
est tribunal over the finding of the
federal courts in Maryland that the
enamelled ware manufacturers were
violating the Sherman antitrust law.
The question swill be argued orally
in October.
Herbert Noble, Henry d. Estabrook
and Hartwell P. Heath. whose names
appear as ounse for the defendants,
argued in the brief that the alleged
illegal combination had been a bene-
At instead of an evil to the public.
1t referred to the contention that the
combination possessed the power to
do evil, even If it had not done SO.
W. respectfully protest against the
rule Of possible evil," said the attor-
neys. 1.-THE rule that the mere power
to do evil is the equivalent to the
actual doing Of it would make poten-
tial bomb-throwcrs Of us all. In the
very nature Of things the law may

1t was contended that II the Sher-
' man law were to be interpretated ac-
cording to its rhyme and not Its rea-
son. 1t would be the righteous duty
of every lawyer to circumvent the
Sherman act, If 1t can be accom-
plished.
The technical argument in the case
was based largely upon the nimeo-
graph decision Of the supreme court
last spring. From this decision the
attorneys argued hat the owner Of
a patent has the right to attach such
conditions as he pleases in regard to
tie uses Of his patented article when
he licenses or sells 1t. The attorneys
%contended hat Edwin L. Wayman, in
licensing his patent dredger to enam-
Ell ware manufacturer: on condition
that certain prices be maintained in
exercising a right gwen him under
the patent laws. unaffected by the
Sherman antitrust law.
The lawyers denied that the license
system was a mere scheme to circum-
went the antitrust law. They defend
ed the patent laws. saying they pro-
tected new inventions just as protec-
tive tariffs protect infant industries.

LARGE NUMBER
ENROLLED TO-DAY
More Students Registered at
the University Than at
This Time Last Year

Registration today at the University
Of North Dakota was better than was
expected, the enrolment being twenty
five per cent greater than at the same
time last year. Over 200 students en-
rolled and this brings the total up to
over 800. 1t Is expected that there will
be over 200 freshmen alone this year
and this will be the record at the state
institution for first year students.
Many students have come in from
the extreme southern and western
parts of the state this year as a re-
suit OF the good crop prospects. We'd
nesday will be the last regular enroll
ment day and students coming in aft
