HC KKKK PKESb CX)., Publisher ur?L EDARDS BtlTOK Botared at ths P;:cft.ie u ttcond ch tr.vui NOT A THEORY BUT A CONDITION In view of the fact thai the tobacco situation ii condition aod not theory, It teems to us that the action of the people in thU section, merch nls, farmer and all others taking part, is rather to be commended than rthe mere theoretical "cussing the trust" plans usually adopted by the beneficiaries" of the system. We do not indorse the principle of boycott unequivocally, but when apeo- ide are driven to a corner by question able methods of a power it is but natural fur human nature to assert Itself in a measure most effective at Itheir command. This the merchants, farmers and consumers who reaii.e -the importance of immediate action to meet the exlpeney of the case deemed to be found in the boycott, and, while the boycott in itself will not accom plish the desired result, possibly, it is foolish for one to say that the re cent action of the Retail Grocers and General Merchants' associasion will ;be void of results for it can be seen already from the acts of people in Other communities that the seed sown Jd that meeting is bearing fruit. In the contemplated building of to bacco factories in eastern Carolina 'towns, though not attributable alto gether to the action of the merchants at that meeting, it is plain that that Influence is manifesting itself. Further, the spirit manifested by the merchants in bringing their powerful organization into play in behalf of the farmers as well as themselves, .though not entirely unselfish, because they know the community of interest existing between the two, possiblybet- ,ter than the former, will oertainly make more cordial the relations be tween the two and make more probable ' solid front with which to meet the common, foe. At to the trust' responsibility for :the present low prioes, there is no .question and that the condition is f largely the consequence of their arbi trary Dower to do it is also patent to all who are at all conversant with mo nonolv'a methods. There are. maybe, -some other reasons that play a minor part la the present state of affairs but it ia useless to put the whole blame of the trouble on these and hand it to an Intelligent public for credenoe. They and know, or think they do, the cause of the present deplorable condi tion and are using the best means as they see.lt to check further disaster. The thing to do NOW is the question, shd what to do later will be determined afterwards. A diversified farming cer tainly will tend to make independent ifarmers, and every, farmer who has been caught in this snap will do well -to remember this when they go to pitch their crop next season. But that jfloes not relieve the present distress, and If the boycott will do good we "wish It all manner of success. The Fit ee Press does not know "the solution of the problem, but if -there is to be an organized effort to light the giant trust it is reasonable rthat anything to strengthen the forces "that are to do the fighting is to be commended to the people and it seems that Independent factories will clo this very thing. In this fight for better conditions "Thb Free Press assures the people of its hearty co-operation and will give Jts earnest support to any move that -'la for the betterment of this commu nity. ;i ;v ',"' The action of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, in donating to Columbia University 12,000,000 to en dow s department for journalism, is a graceful actandhighly commendable in due who has been all through the pro ' cess of editor making, yet we doubt whether the process will be successful. The donor himself, though one of -the most successful editors and pub lishers in America? we believe did not Shave these advantages and yet he is .among the leaders of newspaper edi tors In America. . : A Good TMa.

DILL, rameu Corporatism Or ionizer IIP IIIE assertion has been made that the doing awav with the small independent manufacturer, the ehnnna tion of the small storekeeper and the apparent crowd ing out of the individual man in professional work are all against the college man. I cannot bring my plf to relieve that this is true. I believe that THE TENDENCY TO ORGANIZATION, TO COMBINATION, HAS PUT A DEMAND ON THE COLLEGE TRAINED MINDS, has put a premium upon the services of such men and has made it easier than formerly for the college graduate to get started and to succeed in the world. . - ' This view is opposed sometimes with the suggestion that the men of today who are at the head of the great combinations ate not college bred men. That suggestion is answered by the fact that the MEN WHO ARE COMING TO THE FRONT -ARE COLLEGE MEN and the MEN WHO ARE RETIRING AND WHOSE PLACES THEY TAKE ARE NOT COLLEGE GRADUATES. When the combination movement first gained headway there were chosen as executives men who were personally familiar with the details of the business, not college men. It was necessary at the start to select men to control a great organization who were familiar with the details of the business, who had had actual experience. t si st THE COLLEGE MAN HA8 COME TO THE FRONT WITH HIS TRAINED MIND AND HI8 TRAINED BODY AND TODAY 18 PU8HING OFF THE THRONE THOSE MEN WHO HAVE NOT HAD THE ADVAN TAGES OF A COLLEGE TRAINING. When the trust movement shall have steadied itself and when it shall have eradicated those tendencies which are, apparently, in the wrong direction, when it shall have increased and strength ened those elements' which are right, then the men in charge of the great combinations and in executive positions will be the MEN WHO NOT ONLY HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUSI NESS, BUT WHOSE MINDS HAVE BEEN BROADLY TRAINED AND WHOSE CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN FORMED WITHIN UNIVERSITY HALLS. i' The situation demands the employment of college men. The outlook from the corporate standpoint today betokens the possibil ity of storms. While I am a believer in combination and organ ization, yet I believe that tendency has been carried in some in stances beyond its legitimate purpose and -that there has taken possession of some a combination fever, a greed for unearned wealth, which amounts almost to a mania. Many combination have been organized nominally upon economic grounds for mutual saving and the stopping of competition, but really , have accom plished little more than the unloading of blocks of indigestible se curities upon a deceived public. t IN OTHER WORDS, THE COMBINATIONS WERE MADE TO SELL SECURITIES, SO CALLED, RATHER THAN THE MANUFACTURED PRODUCT TURNED.

If the option had been for sixty days instead of four months the stock would not have receded befow 140 in that time, in which case the STOCKHOLDERS WOULD 'HAVE TAKEN WITH AVIDITY THEIR ALLOTMENT OF SHARES WITH OUT THE NEED. OF ANY, UNDERWRITING. ' i It is largely due to this mistake that railroad stocks have had such a long bear campaign waged against them. ' ' The industrials were similarly affected jioy theirs, .cornersjone property being weakened through the $250,000,000 bond .scheme of the Steel company, the hurtful feature of which; in,, public esti- mation, was that $50,000,000 of that contemplated issue of, bonds was to raise $40,000,000 new capital for the company at a cost of $10,000,000 of bonds. THIS PART OF THE SCHEME STRUCK A SEVERE BLOW TO CON FIDENCE IN ALL INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES, ESPECIALLY, THE KING PIN UNITED 8TATES STEEL. " T At the recent low prices of these special properties, which car ried ALL OTHER SIMILAR ONES DOWN, with them in about the same ratio,' it means that those two grave mistakes, the giving of a four months optionyt the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany and the bond issue of de United States Steel company, have now been FULLY DISCOUNTED, , and their pernicious effect upon the market generally has already been fully realized and will now no longer be considered as a factor of further depression, but an adverse factor of the past and soon to be forgotten. . v, !
