Oh Lne ScrlppS fOunuaClOn, Miami Uni
versity, told the American sociological
society yesterday afternoon. "They
not only take their heavy toll in
deaths, but prevent their victims from
participating in the future because
they sterilize them" The sociological
society which, is now in session at the
Congress Hotel, is one Of seven eco
nomic organizations promoted by bust
ness men to uphold the capitalist sys-
tenn Of exploitation of the workers.
The close connection between these
organizations, which include the eco.
nomic foundation, the statistical as.
ISOLATION, farm economic association
university instructors, and association
for labor legislation, and the large
business interests which supply them
with funds is shown by the fact that
all the arrangements for the conven.
ton Of these organizations are in the
hands Of Chicago business men.
"Swift's" Manager Member.
Among those who took leading
part in organizing the convention of
the bourgeois economists are-L. D.
H. Weld, manager Of the commercial
research department" of Swift and Co.
packers, who is chairman of the com.
mittee in charge Of arrangements; c..
H. Crennan, Of the Continental and
Commercial Bank; Walter Lichten.
stein of the First National Bank; Ru-
dolf Clemen, Of the Illinois Merchants
Trust company; John Bowman, of the
Chicago association of commerce; and
H. W. Moorhouse, of Brookmire's ag-
ricultural service.
Purpose: Bigger Profits.
Most of the speeches were advice to
business men as to how they can
make bigger profits. Train college
students to win white collar jobs by
means of the overall route" was the
suggestion Of Professor Charles G..
Leeds, head of the department of ma.
chinery production of the Carnegie in
stitute Of technology, which is con
trolled by the United States Steel cor
poration Leeds advised that the col
lege students must learn how. to fl
themselves into the profit system
"They must learn the value Of discip-
line" said the goose-step professor
Culture and science have largely been
forgotten by these professors. They
openly bow down to big business and
admit they use the colleges in the
service Of the large corporations.
Thorstein Veblen admitted this in
his address before the American eco
nomic association yesterday; mo ar

the development of bananas in Nor
way. Now, however, seeing how other
leading public men got along, Mr..
Well decided that being a piker did
not pay. He organized half a dozen
corporations, discussed the operation
of the Dawes plan with leading Chi
cago bankers, posed as purchasing
agent for the Grand Duke Nicholas to
the society danes on the north shore,
was American representative to
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany to those
who have warm spot in their hearts
for that gentleman, and some cash in
their pockets; in fact he was all things
to all men and to all women. It paid.
THE fact that he has been arrested
and taken to jail is merely one
of the obstacles placed by the regular
robbers, whose principal method of
living without performing any service
to society is the robbery Of the work
ers thru wage slavery. The yellow
Kid" has not sunk that low. He robs
the robbers. The robbers own the
government, SO they punish this "out-
law" every once in a while by send
ing him to jail. But the legalized rob-
bers have not things their own way
at all times. Occasionally a politician
with Wells proclivities slips into high
Office. Perhaps he is mayor, governor,
chief of police, bailiff, judge or states
attorney. He also robs the robbers.
And when the fellow craftsman like
Well comes along ready to wear the
stripes, he simply cannot stand see
ing a mate in distress, so he turns
him loose.
THIS is not a bedtime story with
| heavy moral. There is nothing
moral or immoral about 1t. The "Yel-
low Kid" is not dangerous to those
who have no money to be separated
from. Far from being obnoxious he
is an interesting fellow. He fen some
what in our estimation when he
threatened to carry the bible around
as camoufage, but he was only hav-
ing his little joke. Mr.. Well has sense
enough to know that society as II is
constituted today is divided between
those who are robbed and those who
do the robbing. He robs the robbers.
We wish him a long and active life
In his chosen field.

means Of intoxicating in the impress

The attacks against the represent

made by Libby while addressing the
school children in the public schools.

The grIlling to which Libby was

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, October 16.- Although
the wheat market today opened at
the highest price which the December
delivery had yet touched this season,
heavy profit taking sales quickly
brought about a decided setback.
The initial upturn was due to higher
quotations at Liverpool and to fur
ther drought complaints from Ar
gentina. Advices at hand said that
owing to drought and frost the Ar
gentine crop could hardly exceed IS
per cent of last years total. Open
ing prices, which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to / cent
higher, with December 1.51k to
152% and May 1.56 to 1.56 y, were
followed by a general downturn that
in some cases went cents under
the earlier top level.
Corn and oats declined as a result
of fine weather and lack of support.
After opening at n of to an equal
advance, December 1.13h to LA, corn
showed losses of moro than 2 cents.
Oats started unchanged to n

months underwent material decline.

Some report that it was commonly es-

This eagernesS to subscribe is re-
garded as especially noteworthy in
view of the existence of considerable g
aversion to lending money to Ger

adverse effect is attributed in some
quarters to profound faith in the
