The ButterfeId Players.

In selecting the players for his stock
company, Everett ButterfieId has direct
ed all his efforts toward one end. name
". to have an aggregation of players
who would combine to make this an
ideal stock company.
The popular and successful stock actor
or actress Is one who not only is COM
petent to play all sorts of roles and
parts. but one who must also have a per-
sonality to make them a sort OF footlight
friend to the person attending the plays.
Mr.. Butterfield has not only selected his
players with all this in mind, but he has
also selected the plays he intends to
produce, TO meet with like friendly favor
on the part OF the local stock theater-
goers.
The observing ones will note that the
old favorites whom Mr.. BUtterfeld has
brought back to Washington have all
proven their worth here, and II the new
ones line up in the same degree he will
have accomplished all he has aimed for.
The second week, when The Spend
thrift will be presented, will bring the
new leading woman out in a very strong
part and no doubt will strongly an
trench her as a local favorite. He also
promises that the leading man, whose
name will be announced in a week, is
not only a star leading man, but one
whose looks will cause the hearts Of
the matinee girls to flutter.

FOrty-fOur years have passed
since women began to come to the
| University campus as students. On
September %, 1867. the College OF

Other girls braved the affliction of
the degree. Each succeeding year
saw its woman graduates walk down
the Via CuratOrum,'' the path
which led from old Academic Hall to
the north of the campus past Lake
Saint Mary, pool that occupied that
part of the campus where the Law
Building now stands.
The women students first had their
classes in normal instruction in
rooms set apart in the "Univer-
sity edifice." Then a pile
of bad lumber shivered itself
into severe looking building at the
north of the campus, where South
Seventh street opens on Elm. AS an
evidence of good intentions, it stuck

THAT EXTRA DAY.

The year 1912 will have 366 days.
What are We going to dc with the
extra "a hours? To the Rockfellers
and the Morgans and the Guggen-
helms it means that 1912 will add a
little more to their wealth than did
1911. To the idle it means just one
more day to loaf. To the man on an
annual or monthly salary, it means
one more day to devote to his en-
ployer's interests for which he will
receive no additional pay.
Ministers are probably glad that
the extra day does not fall on Sun
day, and that 1912 will have but fif-
ty-two Sundays, as do ordinary
years. Think of the saving in SER
mons! Upon the backs of the tired
washerwomen must fall the burden
of this extra day, for there will be
fifty-three Mondays in 1912. There
will also be fifty-three Tuesdays in
the year.

THE TRUST PROBLEM.

America is tackling the trust
problem from the wrong angle, says
DIR. F. c. Hicks. formerly a professor
at the University of Missouri. and
now in the chair of political economy
at the University of Cincinnati. 1t
is the common opinion, writes Doc
tor Hicks in a recent pamphlet, that
a fall in price is due to increased
competition among sellers, while a
rise in price is caused by similar
competition among buyers.
This theory necessarily makes all
combinations in restraint of trade
harmful. But it contains a logical
fallacy, according to Doctor Hicks.
The error is that when prices fall
below the normal-that is, below a
price which gives the producer fair
profit-they are again raised, not by
the competition among buyers result
ing from decreased production, but
by unity of action among producers.
In other words. no matter how great
a demand there may be for an arti-
Gle whose price has fallen below the
normal, there can be no rise in price
until the producers agree either for
mally or informally to the rise. For
example, the price of eggs in coun-
try town depends upon the united
action of the merchants of that town.
This perfectly justified unity of ac-
tion among producers falls under the
Sherman antitrust law as an illegal
com mbination in restraint of trade.
This is what Doctor Hicks criticises
about our present attitude toward
the trust problem. Every combina-
tion in restraint of trade cannot be
regarded as a trust. Whether or not
it is a trust depends upon the degree
of this restraint, he asserts and our
attitude should be revised according
ly.
