LIST OF QUESTIONS SENT A Smile All the While Kinship of the Monopolist to the Highway Robber. 4 J J By WILLIAM J. BRYAN. I I INSIST that the commandment "Thou shalt not steal" applies as much to the monopolist as to the highway man, and we shall not make any material progress in the protection of the people from private monopolies until we are prepared to obliterate THE LINE THAT SOCIETY HAS DRAWN BETWEEN THE ORDINARY THIEF AND THE LARGER CRIMINAL WHO HOLDS UP SOCIETY AND PLUNDERS THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF PRIVATE-" MO NOPOLY. - - The man who 6tandi by the wayside and, holding a revolver to your head, demands your money or your life is no more a criminal, measured by every moral standard, than the man who, obtaining con trol of a nation's fuel, collects a tribute from every householder, offering him the alternative of payment or suffering from lack of fire. It is entirely possible that very many of those who enjoy the benefits of monopoly some as managers, some as directors" and some merely as stockholders are unconscious of the principle ' involved, UNCONSCIOUS OF THE MORAL CHARACTER OF THEIR CONDUCT, but surely this is an opportune time to impress upon the conscience of the nation the real moral character of the conduct of the monopolist And it is not sufficient that we shall appeal to the conscience of i i; i .1 Ti - - a.

HONORS FOR ATHLETES. On the Stability of Character. By President HADLEV of Yale. 'VERY day and every hour we have to be making choices. Sometimes the matter to be decided is one like the choice of ' a profession, which will affect our whole future life and , which demands months of careful thought. Sometimes it is a mere trivial choice of what we shall eat or drink, what we shall say or do for our amusement, which is settled upon the instant and -then forgotten. This principle we call a man's philosophy of life. A CHILD CAN PERHAPS GET ON WITHOUT SUCH A PHILOS OPHY, CONTENT TO DECIDE EACH QUESTION UNDER THE CON TROLLING IMPULSE OR CONTROLLING FORCE OF THE MOMENT. A MAN CANNOT, AT LEAST NOT UNLE83 HE 18 CONTENT TO REMAIN INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY A CHILD. HE CANNOT ACT ON ONE PRINCIPLE AT ONE MOMENT AND ANOTHER PRIN CIPLE AT ANOTHER MOMENT AND EXPECT ANYBODY TO TRUST HIM. " V".' - He wfll have no stability of character. Nay, if we are to define character as the habit of doing the same thing under different circum stances, he will be destitute of ch.iracter itself. . , Prophecy of Prosperity ; For Year 1910. By President A. W. GARRETT of the Seibosrd Air Line Rsilwty. ARK my word, 1910 will be THE GREATEST YEAR IN THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL LIFE OF THE COUNTRY. The remainder of this year will show improvement in the conditions, next year will see business grow in volume, and 1910 will open the eyes of the world. This is bound to come. Confidence will have been restored, the money which is now being hoarded through a general distrust of what the morrow may bring will be poured into investing channels, and we shall see a GROWTH IN BUSINESS WHICH WILL SATISFY THE FAIREST HOPES.
