T IS now the season of tjie year
when the satirist takes pleas
ure in poking fun , at the col
lege graduate who, in long syl
labled words and rhetorical phrases
is about toJlaunch upon the world
solutions of enduring problems.
Why rob the graduate of his
hopefulness that he will go forth
to conquer and subdue? Why tell
him that his road will be hot and
dusty and that he will encounter
realities that are cold and stern?
Why not say to him instead:
Better the sorriest citizen thinking
he can take hold of life and that his
faint epark of free will can burn
holes through the thicket, than a
worldful of orderly persons of regu
lar habits and contented mien.
Bather wlldnesa than that men should
find this a, locked world where all
the returns are in.
Better, absurd mites strutting over
large landscapes, than such a flatness-
of cheery slaves taking orders
from their betters. Better a petty
race should strive vainly than accept
its own littleness. If it is doomed
to futility let it, at leasts live as If
all the roads to victory were open,
Let us be glad that the col
lege graduate can see all roads
leading to his castle of desire. It

From the Omaha World Herald, i
The. officials of various manufac
turing organizations who went to
President Wilson with their petition
that all anti-trust legislation be sus
pended pending investigation by a
trade commission, got precisely such
a reply as they must have known in
advance they would get. It was "No,"
plainly and emphatically. But it was,
at the same time, a polite no. a rea
sonable no, and, to men whose minds
are open to conviction, a convincing no.
It was. furthermore, the only answer
it was possible for the president to
make. Any other answer would have
made him a president forsworn and
faithless. And the ultimate effect of
that faithlessness, upon the temper
and conscience of the country, would
have been a molten lava wave ot radi
calism, destructive rather than con
structive, its spirit that of bitterness
rather than of rational reform.
Since 188S the issue presented by the
problems of trusts and monopolies
has been, fundamentally, the issue on
which every presidential campaign has
been fought, and practically every con
Rressional campaign. Free sliver and
Imperialism were ephemeral issues.
Tariff reform itself was an Issue prin
cipally because it was one aspect of
the trust Issue. But in every campaign
wherever th dividing line has been
drawn between Indurated and selfish
conservatism on the one hand and an
enllghtend radicalism on the other, the
trust issue has largely determined who
should stand on the one side of that
line and who on the other.
