...first number. While anonymous expressions of opinion are not likely to be taken very seriously, since anonymity means irresponsibility, "The Aristocrat" presumably cares little whether its opinions are taken seriously or not, if only it can sell enough copies to pay the printer's bill and can thus maintain its seat by the fireside and play the amiable dilettante...
...large university, in general, can secure for its faculty "bigger" men than the smaller institutions can afford to maintain. The youth in quest of higher education is supposed to have outgrown his preparatory-school days; in entering the large university he finds himself in a man's college.

Manufacturers will always charge for their product as much as the public need will stand; laborers will likewise strive to exact from their employers the maximum compensation for their services. Ultimately it is the consumer who pays. If we would preserve American prosperity, we must maintain the only satisfactory compromise between wage slavery and the autocracy of labor,--the open shop. The suppression of individual bargaining would be of inestimable value to the unions; armed with a monopoly of production they would be in a better position to pry further into our national life. But the people...
