This U the social barrier appearing in modern college life between the poor

and the rich students.

For generations Yale was known as “the poor man’s college." not so much from the fact that on unusually large percentage of Its undergraduates were the sons of men In moderate circumstances as from the absence of marked social distinctions. Merit, ability, worth, counted for more than and station, and the poor stndent could be sure of being received on terms of perfect equality by bis classmates. The decline of this democratic spirit has been noticed in recent years, but President Hadley Is the first to take official notice of it and utter a warning

as to Its consequences.

The situation which President Hadley has the courage and Judgment to attack In his own institution is by no means peculiar $0 Yale, but in many other univerelties and colleges there appears the same undemocratic and un-American spirit, creating a constantly widening gulf between rich students and their financially less fa-

vored fellows.

One reason for this condition is thought to be the growth of fraternity life among students. When the Greek letter society movement was started In this country, the test of admission to nearly every pne of these organizations was merit But as the club idea developed among them merit and worth were thrust aside as crlterions and wealth and social standing took their place. The rapid increase Jn the size of classes and the impossibility of each member knowing all his classmates, a* be could do when classes numbered only fifty or a hundred, are doubtless further reasons for it while the new conditions wrought by the growing wealth in American society hare been to a greater or less degree reflected In

college life.

Whatever may have been the cause. It is deplorable. If there Is any place where a young man or a young woman should be esteemed according to real worth, It Is at college. There should be there the fewest artificial distinctions and the entire absence of anything in the nature of caste built on the possession of wealth. President Hadley does well to sound the warning, and the authorities of other colleges where such a spirit has manifested Itself should follow his Initiative. President Truesdale’s Explanation. President Truesdale of the Lackawanna rood is reported to have asserted at the annual meeting of that company that the anthracite strike was Incited and fostered by certain bituminous interests which are In direct competition with the bard coal Industry. Whether or not this be true, It is evidbnt that the anthracite strike would never have occurred had the anthracite operators been as ready to arbitrate at the beginning of the trouble as at the end of 1L At any stage of the proceedings from the time of the original demand of the miners the anthracite operators had It in their power to prevent or end the strike by doing what they eventually did do nine months

later.

In the light of this Indisputable fact says the Pittsburg Dispatch, it must be apparent that if tbi wicked bitnmlnons operators incited and fostered the strike In order to capture the trade of the hard coal field the anthracite operators played right into their hands. In either event the anthracite people, by Mr. Truesdale’s showing, were either remarkably ignorant of their business or are now stating a proposition which is self contradictory.

Russia is at work preparing a new tariff bin to get even with Germany. The Noroc Yremya of Bt Petersburg •ays that “in the vast majority of* cases the duties of the new tariff show on increase of 50 per cent on those of tht tariff of mi. while the duties on many articles have been doubled and in some cases more than doubled.” As the Russian tariff is now the highest of any civilized nation, these new rates j will be practically prohibitory. One peculiar feature of the bill provides for 20 per cent more duty on an article when imported by land Instead of by, . Evidently the Russians will meet
