A DISPATCH from Sioux City, Iowa.
says that Mayor Fletcher, who Is also

undertake to enforce the new liquor law

saloons of the city continue to run as Of

benefits and tle evils Of the different
methods OF suppressing the liquor traffic
Is IN a chaotic state. No two experts

clusions from their statistics are
as variable as weather vane ia a

conclusion from the statements Of ex.
perts who examine the effects
Of the various laws for the suppression
Of the liquor traffic Their statements
contain facts, but the facts they omit
are sometimes of greater Importance
than those they publish. The recent
celebration Of General Neal Dow's birth
day has provoked discussion of General
Oow's failure as a prohibitor of the

seems that all the radical measures he
advocated have been neither absolute.
uor even partial successes The liquor
traffic has not been suppressed. it has
not even been curtailed in Maine, or ia
Iowa, and worse, drunkenness has been
as bad i'm those states as any where else

SIX: There has been considerable con-
troversy In Newark over the college
and the president. Before the meeting
there were several charges preferred
against DR. Raub which were not sub
stantiated at the meeting The best
thing that could be done was the APP
pointment of committee TO investigate
these charges and 20 make an earnest
endeavor to find whether these
rumors had any foundation. The CORE
spondent of the Every Evening from this
town has been ventilating ideas, formu
lated by others, through that paper The
cores pondent never seeks information
from the president, but gathers It from
other sources. A number OF the charges
are shallow, but they have been published
80 many times that the Every Evening
correspondent evidently thinks they are
true

injury which has been done to the college
Is considerable, and unless there is an

students will grow less each succeeding
year. There is no satisfaction expressed
about the supposed charges TO be officially
