One by one the universities or the
land, from Harvard to Johns Hopkins,
have been drawn into a controversy
which has become so warm and bitter
that men Of national reputation may be
described as at daggers drawn.
Richard T. Ely, famed not only 10
his native land, out all over the world
as a student OF sociological aud econ
omic questions. may be said 20 have
originated the combat, or rather TO be
the means of its inception. He Is al
present professor OF political science
and history and director OF the school
OF economics In the University OF Wis

faculty OF Johns Hopkins. Such for

North they are subject to sudden and
very great changes Of temperature, so
that they become accustomed TO moth

does not necessarily proceed from ex-
posure to very great heat. Other con-
ditions are as important as tempera-

or-and this frequently occurs-because
he has been drinking too much liquor.
It is safe TO say, in fact, that liquor
plays It's part in at least two-thtrds OF
the cases OF serious heat prostration.
The handicap under which it places
man Is shown very clearly by an In
stance which recently occurred in New
York.
James McKenna was a very strong
man, full OF vitality. He did not drink.
On a recent very hot day, however, he

oerciless sun. he went down under It,

company. At lest. however, Mr.. White
was discovered 10 be in active sympa-
thy with the American writer's who
have been denouncing the treaty, aud
ii Is said, although this is not certain,
that Mr.. White even wrote letter de-
claring that the treaty is dep!oraoie
mistake.
Nevertheless, the RussIaa govern
nent did not dare give walking pa
pers" to Mr.. White. because il feared
to arouse public opinion here, and thus
endanger the continuance OF the
treaty. But matters were made so un-
pleasant for our representative that 1t
apuears he had either to abandon his
post or his self-respect In Difference
to Cleveland. however the matter has
keen kept quiet, and various ficttoDs
concerning Mr. White and Cornell have
served to hide the tEne condition OF
things.
Thus IL comes that the returning Dip
lomat's arrival is awaited with anxious
interest By many New Workers. 1t Is
confidently asserted that . crisis In the
matter OF the Russian treaty will soon
be reached, aud if Mr.. White will only
talk he can tell things.

"ethlcal grandmothers," as the occu-
pants OF the chairs who had supported

taken against Ely himself.
The department OF Public Instruction
Of Wisconsin, 1T Madison, took the hrst
move. Prof. Oliver Il. Wells prepared
a formal protest against the innuencs
OF the new ideas, declaring, indeed,
that the University Of Wisconsin was
becoming a hotbed OF socialism and
through its professor OF economics was
communicating the seats Of learning
from Chicago TO San Francisco.

The quarrel. in brief, Is based upon
the conflicting attitudes OF the differ
emit universities In this country on the
question OF the strike and boycott and
hinges upon tho thesis: Are the work
ingmen really lawless In resisting tho
application OF statute enactmebts when
engaged In contests on q great scale
with their employers? Prof. Ely,
and in this he has no less than nine
universities at his back, contends that
these demonstrations have an ethical
sanction even when organized labor re-
sorts to the boybott, the prevention OF
non-union from taking its place and 10
those more drastic measures which
have usually been condemned as law
less. This position was disputed by
Prof. Arthur Latham Perry, Of Brown
university, the most distinguished ex-
ponent OF what is known a. orthodox
economies 10 the land. He Is the warm
friend OF j. Sterling Morton, the Score
tary OF Agriculture, and through his In
fluence the professors at Yale lost no
time in combating the position OF Prof
Ely. But Harvard soon declared Itself
in favor of the Ely theories and the
battle may be said TO date from that
stand of the venerable seat OF learning.
Meanwhile both factions were walt
ing for the action OF the University OF
Chicago. This new seat OF learning
derives special importance from Its rich
endowment and radical experiment
I'm the line OF higher education.
Being supported by well known capl-
talist, il was thought that 1t would OPP
pose the Ely theories, but to the sur
prise of both factions the university
not only approved the Ely method but
adopted his works as authorities IN
their line OF sociology. This was so
severe blow TO the other side that
such universities throughout the west
as had hesitaied now came out boldly
in favor OF Ely. This was particularly
noticeable Ia the case Of Iowa college

ave been complications between our
overnment and that OF st. Peters
b nrg. but so carefully have they been
concealed that most persons will learn
with surprise that Andrew ID. White
narrowly escaped dismissal from the
Russian capital as persona non grata.
The trouble began as far back as the
beginning OF Josiah Quincy's consular
defamation. The Russian government
notified our department OF state that
II would shortly elevate It's diplomatic
establishment 10 Washington TO the
rank OF an embassy. Such step
would. OF course, be followed by the
appointment of an American amoassa-
dor to Russia. All this was designed
TO cement those friendly relations
which our treaty with Russia bad SER
we'd TO accentuate.
But precisely hero was the creux OF
the difficulty. Mr.. White soon became
obnoxious 10 the cars cabinet by his
attitude on the treaty question. All
tha, be could consistently do TO nullify

withal, that the Russian government
could take no exception. The treaty

yield 20 Mr.. Whitney and approve IL.
Mr. White, although a republican, is
warm personal friend OF the president,
and the latter would gladly have re-
tanned him as minister.

aid 20 the association In this country

White accepted toe courtesies OF the

Since then their relations have not
