Big Business Ethics,

Col. Robert w. Stewart has lost his
fight to retain the $125,000-a-year
Craftsmanship of the Standard Oil Co.
of Indiana. He has succumbed to the
attack captained by John D. Rookie
Teller, jr., who indicted him on the
ground Of moral unfitness" following
Col. Stewards acquittal of the charge
of perjury before the Senate commit
tee on public lands.
Mr.. Rockefellers victory was over
whelming. In total vote of 8,446, 100
shares. Col. Stewart found himself re-
pudiated by majority of more than
100000 The condemnation of the
Standard of Indiana's stockholders is
therefore sweeping and unambiguous.
Yesterdays dramatic events in the
petroliferous town of whiting, Ind,
made American commercial history.
They recorded, in particular, an epochal
triumph for clean business. Big bust
ness" in the United States, rightly or
wrongly, has long been synonymous
with unclean business. 1t has been re-
garded as a domain in which might
was right and in which the end always
justified the means.
Those were the conditions of yes
teryear. They are obsolete today. That
Is the lesson and significance Of Col.
Stewards Punishment from the chair
manship of the Standard Oils mid
western subsidiary. The ousting of its
chairman is, accordingly, an episode
which far outStrips its own intrinsic
Importance Its effects are bound to
be far-reaching. They will echo into
rot only every great corporation board
room of the land. They will resound
in the corner groceries of the country.
Business everywhere will be Influenced
by them.
I Mr.. Rockefeller has struck blow for
better ethics In commerce, for which
the American people owe him graft
tude. There is nothing inherently i'm
moral in the chase for the almighty
dollar. The pursuit takes on the at
tributes of wrong only when undercovel
methods are invoked for the purpose Of
getting rich quickly. Millionaire captain
OF industry or humble tradesman. who
Goes business on the square in the
United States has nothing to fear, nc
matter how high or how rapidly he may
pile his fortune. If he achieves greatly,
by open and above-board tactics, he
is assured of the plaudits and honest
envy of the American community. which
30 generously acclaims sSccess.
Mr.. Rockefeller did not Feel that Col.
Stewards maneuvers before the Senate
committee reflected credit upon Stand
ard OH interests or were designed to
fortify public confidence In big bust
ness" Acting on the theory that the
bigger the business the bigger is the
responsibility it bears to set an example
lof ethical dealing. Mr.. Rockefeller es-
sayed the role of Hercules In the Augean
stables of oil. He may not have con-
trived to clean them with entire thor
oughness, but he has opened wide their
doors, let sweep through them gust
of March wind and, at least to the ex-
tent of his ruthlessly exerted proxy
power, purified a polluted atmosphere
The good that was done amid the
odoriferous tanks Of Whiting yester-
day will live and be remembered tc

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Songstress of Spring. -
We must get our information
Often from humble source,
Though the higher education
Points scientific course.
Even when the wires are humming
OF the storm that's on It's way,
We know that Spring is coming
When the hens begin to lay.
Though the icicles are clinging
And the Robin Bird is mute,
Though the weather man Is bringing
Promises hresolute,
There's one prophecies so cheering
That her kind dispels dismay.
We know that Spring is nearing
When the hens begin to lay.

Universal Peace Aim
OF u. S. Receives Praise

To the Editor of The Star:
Having lived in the United States for
over 80 years. I am profoundly I'M
pressed with the fact that this Nation
does not seek conquest, but its great
desire Is for universal peace.
There are men Of God in England,
Canada and this country with IAN I'M
Outstanding heart" and vision to see the
way clearer than sunshine after rain,
torchbearers of truth Illuminating the
path to perpetual peace.
President Hoover recently voiced
public sentiment in these inspiring
words:
my conception of America IS q
land where a contented and
happy people, secure In their liberties,
free from poverty and fear, shall have
the leisure and impulse to seek a fuller
life. Some may ask where all this may
lead beyond mere material progress. 1t
leads to a release of the energies Of
men and women from the dull drudgery
of life to wider vision and higher
hope. 1t leads to the opportunity fer
greater and greater service, not alone
from our country to the whole world"
The following lines accurately express
the feeling of the United States toward
Canada:
Elder brother am I,
You are the younger son;
Held by ties of kinship,
We work together as one.
The weblike line between us
Needs no sentry nor gun;
In mutual understanding,
We work together as one.
Some may boast of warfare.
OF strife we will have none;
In peace and fruitful labor,
We work together as one.
The race now set before us
Alike with patience we run:
Girded with truth and honor,
We work together as one.
Elder brother am I,
You are the younger son;
Under the guidance Of God,
We work together as one.

BY SOL METZGER.

Buck" O'Neill, the ex-foot ball
coach at Williams, Syracuse and
Colgate, is undoubtedly one of the
originators of the hidden ball play
that figures so much in foot ball
today. One season Bucks Syracuse
eleven was not going so good. He
was hard pressed by the alumni.
Something had to be done to win
the final game or Buck stood to lose
his job. Whereupon he put his
brain to work. There emerged this
masterpiece.
The center was to snap the ball
back, but instead of giving it to the
quarterback he was to grip it be-
tween his legs as shown In the
sketch. There no opponent could
possibly see 1t. The backs and all
other linemen, except the left end.
were to tear madly to the left. After
they and all opponents went thus
ward, the left end was to saunter
over behind the center, pluck the
ball from its hiding place and rush
down the right Side-line for touch
down and victory.
Buck planned to spring it early in
the game. A score thus obtained
would inspire his team into fine
defensive fight. demoralize the OPP
position and turn in a surprising
victory. He heard the signal called
on one of the first plays. Every
thing worked like clock, except the
brain of the left end. He missed
the signal and went tearing west
with both teams. Bucks center
stood his ground, ball hidden beau
tifully. He was unable to run with
it because the rules would not pei
NIT. After a frantic search for the
ball the referee finally found it, blew
his whistle and called it dead.

~ 1G TEN teams will play more Inn

games this season than ever be-
IL fore, and in my opinion, this
is good thing in every way.
For the first time in history Har-

Michigan Stadium November 8. Except
for one visit to the Coast for holiday
post-season game, Harvard has never
| left the East. AS Michigan has played
Harvard's first appearance on Big
Ten field should be at Ann Arbor.
On the same day Harvard encounters
the Wolverines Red" eagle will lead
the Army warriors into the IllinSis Sta
dunn.
Princeton, to date the only member
of the Big Three which ever has trav-
eled to the Middle West, will be host
to Chicago at Promotion November 2.
The Tigers, defeated at home by the
Maroons In 1921, provided a historic
battle at Stage Field the next year when
they came back in the closing minutes
In sensational and successful fashion.
Ohio State, which closed its Prince
ton series with tie at Columbus last
season, will break lances with Pitts
burgh on Pitts field November 2.
Barriers Are Down.
Next season holds even more. In
1880 Wisconsin will begin series with
Pennsylvania, and when the Chicago
Princeton brace of games has been
played, it will be succeeded by Yale
Chicago series. Yale will journey TO
Chicago then. It breaks the ice this
Fall by travelling to Athens to meet
Georgia October ~
Thus, after long years, the barriers
are down. Until recently the obstacle
in the path Of negotiations between
Big Ten teams and members Of the
Big Three was the refusal of the East
erners to concede home -and-home
games. Iowa defeated Yale at New
Haven in 1921, and Purdue triumphed
Princeton was the only Big Three team
which had played return game. The
feeling in the Western Conference that
this was hardly fair prevented the
scheduling of interesting games.
Harvard and Yale are to be con-
graduated for taking this step. Their
Big Ten games will add spice TO their
schedules and will be popular with their
alumni in the Middle West.
Geographical rivals naturally will be
the backbone of all schedules. Big Ten
rivalries are keen and Of long standing
and can never be supplanted by in
tersectional engagements which lack the
background of jealous supporters OF
each team, who are thrown together in
daily life. Because of the distance to
be Travelled comparatively few partisans
of the far-traveling team can follow 1t.
