EDUCATION NECESSARY.
Liberal Education and Tolerance VIII Pre-
serve the Government.


dents of the Kansas State university
delivered at that institution October 4
j. Willis Gleed discussed the uses OF
liberal education, using as "a text th'
question, "Whst does the business
world think Of q liberal education? ?
Along with the many things which Mr.
Gleed said with no other object than Il
entertain his audience, he sandWiched
some remarks that would naturally
tend to set them thinking In the right
direction. He expressed no definite
conclusions, but left that for the stu
dents to do as they liked. On the sub
ject Of political economy, he did not
explain how colleges could make pro-
Rress In that direction while using the
works Of Adam Smith or some other
fossil Of the last century as textbook.
He referred to the "free trade heresy," "
Nv way Of illustration, but did not ven
ture to explain that the sblest political
economists treat the tariff question ss
one Of local concern, and that the tariff
system is right OF wrong as the condi'
tion Of q country changes.
However, In recognition of the fact
that Mr.. Gleed did we'll as far as ne
went. wa Ouote the following from his
excellent oration:
"Thoughtful men in the business
world look to liberal education, look to
you, the literally educated, for the
preservation of all that is good in our
civil institutions; for the promotion of
good government upon the earth.
''They see, for example, the tremen-
dous evil Of blind partisanship in poll
tics. They see the citizens of a common
country, the children Of a common
mother, divided into hostile camps.
They see the leaders of one camp in
flaming their followers against their
fellow citizens in the other camp,
They see these leaders construct horrid
images with flaming eyes and red,
gaping mouths, with dragons heads
with Shiny serpents' bodies; and they
parade these images up and down the
ranks and say, See, these are the
images Of your fellow citizens in the
other ranks. They want to subvert
liberty, to bring down ruin on the cOun'
try. They are called democrsts-repub'
lIcans--populists the case may be-
NOW, you must hate them and fight
them. Self-preserVation Is the first law
Of life, and this Is war Of extermina
tlon. All means are allowable, and nc
quarter is to be given The children
born in the camp remain there as
matter Of course. For man to pass
from one camp to the other is to be
traitor, hated at home and suspected
abroad. You must stand by your side
right or wrong; you must fight TO
your party, right or wrong; and TAX
your share of the spoil according to tn
fortunes Of war.

Wild Was the Gale.

Chicago went to sleep Friday night
many hours earlier than usual--under u
blanket of snow which refused to remain
stationary, except In spots, for more than
twenty minutes ut u time. A shrieking
forty-mile an hour gale blow "the beau
tiful" from sky to earth, half way back
again, and In more directions than tho
average compass has points. And when
the snow did settle down 1t settled for
kccps--settlcd into drifts rs solid Us II
packed by strong-armed laborers. Trans.
portatiOn companies waged the same old
battle for supremacy. Downtown they
managed to keep things moving, but In
the suburbs 1t was another story. All
schedules and time tables were lost as
effectualy Us the rights of way, and cars
only logged along ut irregular intervals
by grace of the snOw-plows and through
the efforts of from four to six horses.
Electric lines suffered principally through
the coating of the trolley wires with ice.
Hardly u passenger train reached it's de-
pot on time and the delay ranged from
one to five hours. Outgoing trains got
away, hut all ran slowly. Communica-
ton with the West was badly broken, but
enough was learned Saturday morning to
tell that tho West had experienced tho
worst blizzard known In years.
