GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE
Number Of ColIege-Trained Men In
Business Is Of the Highest
Significance.

There was a time when half the col.
lege graduates of America became
clergymen, and when the legal and
medical professions swallowed up
nearly all the other half. Now, less
than per cent Of the men who COM
plete college courses 60 into the min
istry, and the three learned profess
sions" together number only minor
ity of the college-trained population
Of the country.
This illustrates not only the rapid
spread Of higher education in the Uni
ted States, but the way In which So
ciety is constantly differentiating into
more and more diverse occupations.
Go back far enough in history. and
there was but one trained profession,
the ecclesiastical. In more recent
times there were three-law, medicine
and the church. Today, no one knows
how many lines of effort deserve the
name of learned"
In fact, business itself is rapidly ap.
preaching the status Of profession,
both in the learning required and in
the ethical standards which are being
set up to guide the business man. 1t
is this fact, quite as much as faith in
legal enactments and prohibitions,
which makes the average citizen look
for more fair play In the future thar
ever has prevailed in the past.

BY MARAH ALICE PETERS.

For good or bad, the world all be-
before me! Freedom, health-which
path shall take?"
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
Wet. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving a ten
years sentence for embezzlement He
was not thirty-five, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
In a word, Mark Burnham, with lit
tie or no bringing UP, an orphan from
tender age, had wasted five years of
his life, had secured a good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted.
During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved a stolid, rather than
submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on a notched stick The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit Of clothes and
few dollars in his pocket At the
door Of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. A free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or it's equiv.
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
to line of hills overlooking the coun.
try around, to analyze his unexpected
condition Of affluence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit-
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law its penalty. He was
clear Of the world, and its fortune,
good or bad, all before him. Which
path, indeed. might he take!
AS he recalled how harshly fate had
dealt with him, as afar to the east
he caught the glittering spires of big
bustling city, his breath came quick
md hard. With all he had heard Of

clever criminal ways in his prison cell,
how shrewdly might he use his little
capital in schemes to fleece the I'M
wary. to enrich himself. Then, too,
the pleasures of the great metropolis
dazzled him.
10 live the life!" he breathed hot
ly- after those ten years, chained up
like a wild beast!"
Just then an echoing hail attracted
his attention. From the doorway OF
a neat little farmhouse a comely girl
ish matron Was waving a welcome to
her husband, returning from work in
the fields. The observer noted the
aspect Of comfort and plenty about
the place, the warm genuine love
greeting of the twain.
His lip quivered, tear fell upon his
outstretched hand. He turned from
the sight.
Love, peace, happiness!" he NUT
tered in a broken tone, but not for
me, the branded! the accursed of hu.
manity!"
A bitter scowl wreathed his face and
he walked away from the spot amongst
the deep shade of the river path. AT
that moment, as he realized that his
hand was against every man and ev-
cry mans hand against him, the
wealth that had come to him was az
worthless dross. There was a strug.
gle between his better nature and the
promptings of his recent environment,
hut the struggle was not decisive.
Help"
The word rang out involuntarfly
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
ltramping on recklessly in his desper'
ate mood, he had not noted his course
He had stumbled on trailing vine,
The next moment he went headlone
down the steep decline and was en-
quilted by the rushing waters Of the
turbid river.
There was a rapid swirl to the cur
rent that at once swept him into mid
stream. Burnham was not swim

FINDS NOTHING NEW IN
5 Mr.. ROCKEFELLER'SPLAN
Secretary Morrison of A. F. of L. Sees
in Welfare Scheme Repetition Of
Employers Former Efforts.

Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor Today
made this statement commenting upon
the announcement of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Companys plan for dealing
with it's employees:
..Mr Rockefeller's plan is significant
In his alleged collective bargaining
plan he yields more than any other EN-
ployer hostile to the trade union move
ment Great corporations have been
using every device that can be con-
ceived by their ablest representatives
to prevent employees from organizing
in trade unions. financed and con-
trolled by the workers.
Power That Permits Can Withdraw
"Mr. Rockefeller says he acknowl-
edges the principle of collective bar
gaining-and to enforce his conception
of this theory creates union and
evolves a comprehensive plan that the
press states, is financed by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. We are told
these workers will be "permitted' to
present their grievances.
"Organized workers present their
grievances through the power of their
economic organization. They enforce
their rights to have a voice in the dis
posal of their labor power. MI.
Rockefeller's plan provides that work
ers will be permitted to present griev-
ances. If one dissects this theory he
sees that the power that permits can
also withdraw any time it elects.
No Compromise Between Theories.
Herein is the fundamental difference
between the Rockefeller plan and that
of trade unions. One develops indie
pendence, Thine other relics on the gra-
ciousness and good will of the employer.
There can be no compromise between
the two theories, for if workingmen
are to be really free their right to reg
ulate their own lives must be acknowl-
edged.
Mr.. Rock efellers welfare plan con-
tains nothing newt is only repeti-
ton of efforts made by employers to
keep their workmen satisfied. l am
sure that time will demonstrate that
the plan prepared by Mr.. Rockefeller
for his employees in Colorado will prove
full cousin to the other schemes of
like character inaugurated for the sole
purpose of preventing organization of
employees that will enable them to Sc
cure improved conditions"

John D. Rockefeller Said
to Be on Syndicate List Of

NEW YORK, October John D.
Rockefeller was reported today to have
subscribed to the $5o0.o00.000 Anglo
French bond issue. 1t was said that
his subscription was among the largest
taken by individual investors, and ap-
proximated $10,000,000.
At the Standard Oil Company's Of
fees here a member of the Rockefeller
staff declined to confirm the report. to
deny or to comment on it. Mr.. Rookie
Teller is now at his home at Pocantico
hills.
There is small likelihood that Mr..
Rockefeller's participation will ever be
officially announced, unless he sees Mt
to state it. The syndicate managers
have decided not to make public the
list of large individual subscribers on
the ground that these subscribers are
their clients. and that to talk OF their
affairs would be a breach Of confidence.

Would Abolish Fee System.
Il am in favor of getting rid of the
fee system, for one thing. and putting
all marshals and clerks on a salary.
The fee system hiss been abused and
the fees charged litigants are too high
while in many cases the emoluments
of the office are excessive and out OF
proportion. There Is no uniformity OF
fees in various Offices. All the states
grees.
II also favor a provision which will
direct the United States Supreme Court
to make rules of practice for common
INV cases III the IcucTdi CCuEtSs tHe
same as in equity cases The law now
requires the judges to follow the prac-
tice which prevails in the state where
the federal court is held. The diff
Guilty now is that the rules of practice
are made by the legislature and there
fore are not flexible.
Takes Up Courts Time.
las a result. the time of the court is
occupied in dealing with questions OF
practice rather than with substantive
law. In New York it il estimated that
one-third of all the cases which go to
the appellate division relate to Ques-
tons of procedure. 1t seems obvious
to me that the court which is engaged
in constituting and administering the
law is better able to prescribe the
mere method in which that is to be
done than the legislature.
The proposed change was recon-
mended by the American Bar Associa-
ton at its last meeting"
