OPPOSED TO CONTROL
OF CORPORATIONS
COMMISSIONER coNANr UPHoLDa
THE SHERMAN LAW IN RE-
PORT JUST ISSUED.

Washington, d. c.. FeD. 24.--Luther
Conant Jr., commissioner of corpora
lions, has come out In opposition to
the proposition for federation OF
monopoiies under governmental regu-
lation, and urged the continuation OF
the policy which permits competition
among the industries of the United
States.
In his annual report to Secretary
Nagel, the commissioner says that re-
cent decisions under the Sherman anti
trust act have demonstrated that
statute ID effective.
'It Is remarkable" he added, that
after years Of effort to maintain the
vital principle of the Sherman anti
trust act that the first real success In
this direction, SO far as Industrial
combinations are cercerned, should oe
accompanied by rather widespread
demand for the practical abandonment
OF that principle and the substitution
therefor Of regulated monopoly. It
should not escape notice that among
the foremost advocates OF such regu-
lated monopoly are the representatives
Of some Of the most powerful consoll-
dations Ct the time"
Opposed to "P1tern1llSm.
The creation OF proposed trade
commission with powers Of regulation
over private corporations similar to
those exercised by tho Interstate COM
merce commission would mean, the
commissioner says, the substitution
of a marked degree Of paternalism fof
that freedom Of individual action under
Aich, despite admittedly fragrant
abuses, the country has attained an al
most unparalleled prosperity"
The commissioner adds that even IN
connection with railroads, where COM
petition has been virtually destroyed,
"as in the case Of certain New Eng
land railroads, the results have proved
exceedingly unsatisfactory from the
public standpoint"
Where Conditions Alter.
However, it may be conceded that,
so far as railroad and certain old
ouasi-public corporations are con-
cerned, the public has accepted the
principle that competition must large
l. be subordinated to regu, ton. But
to assume that the same principle
should be adopted in dealing with the
private corporations of the country
is radical departure.
Undoubtedly there are industries
outside the field Of railroad transporta-
ton and other public service enter
pr1ses where the competitive principle
is not entirely applicable, but these
instances present exceptional PROB
lens to be dealt with on their 1ndi-
vidual merits"

RUNN|ON CHILDREN
LEAVE FOR LkWTON
FATHER AND FOUR CHILDREN
HAPPY As THEY START ON
Az THEIR TRIP.

Charles nunnion and his family OF
four CHI -, two girls OF IL and 3,
and two boys of 8 and 8. left this
morning on the Milwaukee for Law
ton, Okla, their tickets being pur-
chased with money raised in the
Courier Juniors campaign. In add
ton they were furnished with . bes-
ket of lunch by the Open Door Mis-.
sion and with money from the Cour.
Ter fund sufficient to buy their meals
after the Missoin's basket Is gone.
The disposition thus far made Of the
fund is shown as follows: ....
Tickets to Lawson ........., $Sl.So
For meals en- route ......... 4O5
Iotdl ...... .............'.. $oo.vo
Balance In fund ............. 5000
The sum of IS remaining in the
fund will be given for charitable pur-
poses or form the nucleus for some
fund to be raised similar to that
for the Runnion family.
The four little Runnions were the
happiest children in the world when
they left this morning to join their
relatives in Oklahoma. The death Of
their mother and misfortunes met
with by the father brought neglect
and poverty to the children. They are
assured better care from relatives Of
their mother in Lawton. The Courier
Juniors and their friends who contrib
uted to this worthy cause would have
felt amply repaid If they had seen the
smiling faces of the children as they
boarded the train today.

College Professors
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF 'fAt Good Old Siwnsh.S

"HERE are two kinds of college
professors. One kind teaches
things and the other kind learns
things.
The college professor who teaches
things cords up as much knowledge as
he viii hold and then retires behind a
pair of spectacles and a desk and ped
dies out said knowledge to ten genera
lions of college students for $1,000 a
year. At the end Of this time his rela-
tives wake him up in order to bury
him. Professors of this kind differ from
text books only because of the fact that
they are self-propelling. The college
professor who learns things acquires all
the knowledge that the past has pro-
yided and then begins prying into the
future aud dislodging huge masses OF un-
classified information. He Is the explorer
OF philosophy, the skirmisher in religion,
the sapper and miner against supersti-
ton and the personal conductor Of
science. In all parts of the world pro-
fessOrs are leading human knowledge by
