~ The murder of Irving Denniston al
Ann Arbor last week is the fruit of the law
lessness that is predominant at all colleges OF
the present day.
One half the attendance at college consists
of brainless dudes who were born with the
proverbial gold spoon dangling from their
lips and who are sent to college to keep them
out of mischief. From yellow backed
novels fair knowledge of the art "hazing''
is cleaned and they enter their alma mater
determined to consume time in this and other
sports. A plodding brain and good morals
are looked upon as disgrace, and one who
has suchis dubbed "chump" and "scab.''
This class is continually at war with the town
element of the place wherein the school may
be situated and the student is invariably the
cause. The fracas at Ann Arbor is an exem-
plifcation of this, pure and simple. Young
Denniston was the victim of several students
whose aim is to create trouble, and whose
disposition is that of stubborneness, the re-
suit of indulgent parents and catering pro-
fessors. The management at Ann Arbor
cannot with consistency, policy or justice do
otherwise than expel all implicated in the
melee.

dist minister and his mother the sister of the

DR.. Fairfather, an Indian lecturer, minis.
ter, and doctor, lectured at the Presby-
terian church last Sunday evening. The
doctor is typical Indian, tall, straight as
an arrow, smooth faced, high cheek bones
and the saffron complexion. In fact he
brought vividly before his large audience the
real aborigine, despite an American costume
and classical education. His lecture, part
ly sermon, was well appreciated. 1t was
both interesting and instructive. Beginning
with the creatlon-in his language, ''the bar
rem ship"-he told the old story as given in
the Bible, and corroborated all with profane
history and philosophical argument. Both
evolution and psychology were touched on
and his information on the prehistoric race,
the Mound Builders, was of nature to hold
any audience any length of time. As q
lecturer he is success.

Everyone can be boomer. Keep your
money at home. Spend your money among
home institutions, where you stand a good
chance to get it back. Patronize those who
patronize you. Every dollar you spend with
a stranger is gone forever. Every dollar
you spend with home man finds its way
back to your pocket. A dollar spent in
some other town goes to build up that town.
Figure the thing down fine and you lose
money by buying away from home, even il
you get the article for one half what it would
cost you at home. Remember this and act
accordingly.

~ Last Wednesday night deplorable oc-
currence took place at Ann Arbor, Mich.
A lot of students connected with the college
located there and company of Malta got
into fracas, the result being the death of
one boy and number of soldiers and stu
dents wounded. The young man killed was
Irving Dennison, student of the college
from Toledo. his death resulting from wounds
received when the company charged upon
the students with dubbed bayonets. These
college fracases are becoming entirely too
frequent. and it behooves, parents and the
authorities to step in and put'a quietus upon
them. Quite a number of young men from
this city are at Ann Arbor attending the COL
lege, but none, we are happy to say, were in
this disgraceful proceeding.

The shipment from Napoleon was large ex-

is manifestly less than preceding years. This
is owing to the large quantity shipped to the
Pennsylvania field which is all done by rail.
