CONSIDERING the scandalous and
brutal hazing episodes that have dis
graced several of our universities
within the last few months, it seems
that some Of those institutions might
do worse than try the disciplinary
system which obtains at Bowdoin and
two or three other colleges. The Bow
doin method places the government
of the undergraduates in the hands
of the students themselves, beyond
the reach of faculty interference or
presidential veto. They have full
power in all matters relating to good
order and good manners in the COL
lege, and of course have the full re-
sponsibility. The governing body is
called the college Jury" and its sue
cess may be judged from the state.
ment of President Hyde, who says
that "the government of the students
by themselves has been better than
the government of them by the facul-
ty could have BEEN" There is certain
ly food for reflection in these words
for the faculties of Cornell and other
colleges nearer home which have
shown themselves utterly incapable
of enforcing discipline or even COM
mon decency. AS the college authori-
ties have been found lacking, suppose
they let the students assume the
reins of government for a while.
They can't, at least, make worse
mess of it than their preceptors have
done

to exact 500 security for positions

in his case this habit has been

Letter Was Forged.

Sarah f. Chamberlain, who makes
the sensational claim for $2o,0 0 in the
will of old Moses w. Wheelock, has
left for her home in WATERFOWL, S. ID.
She says she ccrresponded regularly
with Wheelock, and they were engaged
to be married. One Gay she received
letter purporting to be from him,
saying he had concluded to break the
engagement. The handwriting was
not Wheelock's. Mistrusting some
thing, Mrs. chamberlain wrote letter
to the old man, inclosing it in q letter
to q friend. Wheelock was thunder
struck. He replied that he never
wrote declining to marry her. The
letter was a forgery. Wheelock was
furious, fer the evidence was conclusive
that his correspondence had been in
tercepted. 1t is believed now that the
heirs will settle with Miss Chamter-
lain. to prevent certain disagreeable
matters being aired in the courts.

YOUTHS COMPANION: A bill has
been introduced in Congress to make
it unlawful for any alien to work for
wages In the United States while re-
tanning his residence in another
country. The bill imposes as PEN
atty fine upon the laborer, and a
larger fine for the employing person.
The proposed measure is aimed
chiefly at industrious men and women
who come daily or weekly, or at
longer intervals, across our borders to
labor in the United States, and give
dollars worth of work for a dollar
SO long as they remain. The only
farlt that can be found with them is
that they do not come to stay. One
of the most serious objections to the
immigrants whom we emphatically
do not want is that too often they do
come to stay. They are assisted
hither by governments glad to he rid
of them, in the hope and almost with
the certainty that they will never be
able to return. They are the shift.

who fill our almshouses and prisons
with themselves and their progeny.
They are the unfortunates bred in
the slums of the old world, and
shipped hither by padrones to swell
the number of salaried beggars who
exhibit their deformities on the street
corners. Begin by keeping these out.
