DANGER IN CLASS LEGISLATION.

Although the farmers bloc" seems
to have the whip hand I'm the Senate
there are some members Of old-fash-
ioned ideas, like Senator Brandegee OF
Connecticut, who do not intend TO let
purely class legislation go through
without protest. Mr.. Brandegee fails
to see why combination is crime
among manufacturers but an entirely
proper procedure among farmers. And
yet this In the distinction msde In a
bloc" measure now before the Sen
ate which exempts farmers corpora
tions from the provisions OF the sher-
man antitrust law.
Farmers co-operatives are doubtless
an important means for the improve
ment OF their economic position. They
have been put In successful operation
In California and elsewhere. But that
very success indicates that they do not
need any privileged position under the
law I'm order TO serve their purpose. To
exempt them entirely from antitrust
regulation would but open the door &c

THE COLLEGE AUTOMOBILE.

When President Hibben OF Prince
ton sent his circular letter to parents
Of students in the university point
ing out that undergraduates were
better off without automobiles than
with them the immediate result was
considerable Indignation among the
parents affected and an outcry of pro-
test from the upper class eating clubs.
The classic halls rang with this senti-
ment for few days. probably are still
ringing, but In the mean time DR.
Hbben has received more than hun
dred letters from all parts of the coun-
try upholding his position. many Of
them from men-who have or viii
have sons in the institution.
That the presence of numerous and
luxurious motor-cars is a distracting
influence in college community
needs no proof. A group of pleasure
seekers in the midst Of a society ded-
icated to the accumulation OF knowl-
edge through hard work must neces-
sarily blur the ideals OF the estab-
lishment by emphasizing the aristoc-
racy of wealth at the expense of the
aristocracy of intellect Social prefer
ment is one thing, often thing that
can be bought; scholarship Is quite
another.
Whatever the students at Princeton
may think OF DR.. Hibben's attitude he
can rest assured Of support from with
out. A preceding president of that uni
sersity, It win be remembered, at
g,mpted democratic reforms that
brought him unpopularity on the
tampus and eventual alienation. Yet
he people OF New Jersey elected him
Governor later, and he held the Presi-
aency of the United States for eight
years. The point of view of the
yeAlthier undergraduates at Prince
ton Is negligible In any large survey.
