WHERE ARE YOU,
PROFESSOR WILSON?
Are you for free trade, as you were
for years and years when professor
In Priaceton College; or do you now
actually believe in the hazy sort of
gradual change to "tariff for revenue
only" which you now advocate?
Are you opposed to labor unions as
you were when you were a college
professor; or is your suddenly adver
tised conversion to their benefits cf
late a real one or only for purposes
of being president?
Are you still at heart as much op
posed to the initiative and referen
dum as when you lectured at Prince
ton to your college students; or have
you really changed your mind since
the presidential bee began to buzz
In your bonnet?
Are you against exclusion of the
Chinese from the Pacific Coast, or do
you still believe in their "superior
skill and intelligence," as you did
when you wrote your History of the
American People.
WHERE DO YOU STAND, PRO
FESSOR, on these vital questions?
If you were president would you carry
out your brand new opinions or your
former lifelong opinions?
CAMP IN FAVOR OF SHIFTS.
Tells Yale to Keep Opponents In Guess
ing Mood Throughout.
Walter Camp, the noted football ex:
pert, recently gave a brief outline of
the new football rules as affecting
Yale and expressed his opinion that
the quick running game with many
shifts to draw out Hie defense will
enable a light, experienced team to
overcome a heavy team which resorts
to old fashioned football..
"The best uitut-k.'' he said, "will be
the one that combines shift plays";
Which will necessarily put the defense
In. motion with regular plays. In this
way not only will plunges through the
line be effective, but also greater effect
will be given to the end run or the run
outside tackle, if a team allows its
opponent to realize that the attack Is
concentrated and that the plays all
must start from a comparatively small
radius behind the line, those opponents
will close up and render such a form
of attack extremely onerous and ex
hausting. Brazil Nut Seeds.
All the seeds varying from fifteen to
twenty-four of the Brazil nut germi
nate at one time. The most vigorous
one gets first through a small hole at
the top to the open air and then feeds

The young peoples' session began
deviltry together. As he was I am
doomed to be, this I have
learned from Jesus." My Lord, you
were dead then, but alive now. If
you had a beautiful Jesus, but a dead
Jesus, would you preach him? I would
not."
The minister then quoted Arnold's
pathetic quotation describing life,
love, etc., as delusions, and showed
that this was the best that could be
done bv a world without Christ. He
said he knew three things: ;
"First, all the dead receive a wel
come from the heart of God immedi
ately, as they enter into glory. Sec
ond: Until that day, Christ is get

He's praying for me. Why then should
I fear?"
He ended by) saying tnat Christ,
last of all, saves by his imparted life,
wherein the people become partak

One Way
to Solve
the
Trust
Problem
By
LOUIS D.
BRANDEIS
CHE issue of the present day is
between REGULATED MO
NOPOLY AND REGULATED
COMPETITION. Competition
in business corresponds to liberty in
political and civil life. No believer in
true liberty will ask for unregulated
liberty. We have found the regulation
of liberty to be ESSENTIAL TO ITS
PRESERVATION and to its develop
ment. . - -
To preserve the liberty of the many
we find it necessary to restrict the lib
erty of the few. for unliceused liberty
leads to oligarchy and despotism. We
curb the liberty of the strong man in
order to PROTECT THE LIBERTY
OF THE PHYSICALLY WEAKER
MAN. Thiit is a regulation of the civir
liberty of the individuals. We also
curb industrial liberty in the individ
ual business in order that the weak
may be protected against the strong.
We restricted the theoretical free
dom of contract between employer and
employee by enacting factory laws
governing the conditions under which
work may be performed and to some
extent the hours of labor. We did this
because we recognized the difference
of position of the employees and the
employers under ordinary circum
stauces. -
The liberty of the individual em
ployee was in dhnger of being stamp
ed out unless the inequality of his po
sition was PROTECTED 'lnd the
workingmau given consistent life and
health and some opportunity for that
leisure which the Greeks held to be
the esserve of liberty.
SIMILARLY THE RIGHT OF
COMPETITION MUST OF A NE
CESSITY BE LIMITED IN ORDER
TO PRESERVE IT. EXCESSES OF
COMPETITION LEAD TO MO
NOPOLY, JUST AS EXCESSES OF
LIBERTY LEAD TO ABSOLUTISM.
The Standard Oil company.- practic
ing its riitht to unrestricted competi
tion, frequently destroyed a competJ
tor through a LOCAL PRICE CUT
TING CAMPAIGN. The trust was
ab!e to conduct such a campaign be
cause of Its infinitely greater resources.
The tobacco trust resorted to exactly
the same tactics.
This so called competition really was
BUSINESS MURDER. It was resort
ed to with the deliberate purpose of
KILLING THE COMPETITOR and
us a step to monopoly in other words,
INDUSTRIAL DESPOTISM.
SUCH EXCESSES OF COMPE
TITION IN BUSINESS MUST BE
CURSED . IN ORDER TO PRE

OF THE PHYSICALLY STRONG
MAN TO DO AS HE PLEASES RE
GARDLESS OF THE RIGHTS OF

LY IS ONE OF THE MANY METH
ODS OF UNFAIR COMPETITION
WHICH THE LAW MUST REGU
LATE IN ORDER TO PRESERVE
COMPETITION.
Another very common instance of
unfair and oppressive competition is
the REFUSAL TO SELL SOME ES
SENTIAL ARTICLE unless the pur
chaser agrees to deal exclusively with
the seller in purchasing still other ar
ticles in which the seller deals.
That again, is taking advantage of
the seller's unassailable rights in con
trolling a single indispensable article
to DESTROY COMPETITION in all
other articles in that particular busi
ness. .
This is a form of unfair competition
being resorted to by the shoe machin
ery trust when by its leases of essen
tial machines it compels the shoe man
ufacturer to refrain from dealing with
its competitors in their machines, sub
stantially crushing competition in oth
er lines.
Our experience with trusts during
the last twenty-two years, since the
enactment of the Sherman law. has
furnished us abundant material from
which to DETERMINE IN WHAT
RESPECT EXCESS OF COMPETI
TION MUST BE CURBED IN OR
DER TO MAINTAIN COMPETI
TION. All that experience must be utilized
in providing for that regulation of
competition through which alone in
dustrial liberty can be preserved.
Regulation may mitigate the evil of
monopoly. But if through a perfec
tion of governmental machinery, a per
fection greater than has ever existed
in any country at any time, it were
possible to prevent special wrongdo

industrial absolutism would be MERE

the men are virtually the same They
said they left here in a car at 8
o'clock Thursday evening for Port-
4Jand.: The car was obtained from
Elliott's garage. Peter Marrs, who
has been employed at the garage for
several months, was the driver. They
said the machine broke down at
Gray's Crossing on the way to Port,
land, and after temporary repairs
were made the car was taken to a
garage in Portland. None of them
could tell the location of the garage.
They said it took several'; hours to
make the - repairs, which accounted
for their not returning home earlier.
All deny that anything happened on
the trip which would cause Miss Prof
fitt to commit suicide. The party

ing.
Deputy District Attorney Stipp and
Sheriff Mass, .after making an inves
tigation, decided that it would be best
to hold the girl and the two men un
til after the inquest and the comple
tion of the post mortem examination
The girl was placed in the custody of
Jail Matron Parker. Finucane was
taken hom.e to change his clothing,
and Timmons were locked up. Finu
cane was later placed in jail.
. Dr. Guy Mount, who is conducting
the autopsy said late .Friday .night:
"So for I have found notBing to in
dicate that Miss Proffitt was attack
ed. She had been a patient of mine,
but I did not think she was seriously
ill. It might have been that she
brooded over her illness until she de.
cided to end her life."
""I am still at a loss to find a motive
for the suicide," said Sheriff Mass.
"The other members of the'party say
Miss Proffitt was! in good spirits
when she left them, and that nothing
happened on the trip that might have
caused her to end her life. The moth
er said .this was the first time her
daughter had stayed away from home
at night, and it is possible the girl
feared to face her parents."
Deputy District Attorney Stipp, af
ter hearing the report of Dr. Mount,
said' the only theory he could advance
for the girl's act was that she feared
facing her parents after having been
out all night.
Miss Johnson is an orphan, and has
been employed at the home of Peter
Hass, Fourteenth and Center streets.
Sh,e was detained in the sheriff's of
fice most of the day, but it was not
until late in the afternoon that she
was informed that her friend had
committed suicide. The girl collap
sed and was in an almosa hysterical
condition when taken by Deputy Sher
iff Miles to the home of the jail ma
tron. She begged piteously to be al
lowed to go to the Haas home, but
Mrs. Haas sent word that she would
not have her back.
J. N. Elliott, who lives -near the
Proffittj home, - which is on Molalla
avenue at the city Imits, was attract"
ed by the cries of the mother when
he passed the house on the way to
work. The girl was dead when he
entered the house, the body being on
a chair. Miss Proffitt was fully dress
ed except her shoes, which had been
removed shortly after she entered the
house. '-.
Marrs the chauffeur, virtually cor
roborated the stories of Timmons,
Finucane and Miss Johnson. He
said that the machine was hired at
, 8 o'clock Thursday night and the
I party was supposed to return to. this
I city before 1 o'clock Friday morning.
I "We had a serious breakdown,"
', said Marrs, "and went to two garages,
! staying at one about two hours 'and
j the other about three. While we were
; at one of the garages the young men
and "women said they would go to a
restaurant nearby and eat. They
were gone only a few minutes. They
did not go into any saloons or leave
I the car except when they went to
j the restaurant. When the machine
'was engaged I was informed that the
party simply wished-to take a pleas
ure trip to Portland.
Marrs is one of the best known
young men in the city and his story is
implicitly believed by the authorities.
He was simply employed to drive the
machine; as he is, by other persons
daily. He said the party returned to
this city at 7 o'clock Friday morning
and left him at the restaurant.
