THE DRAWBACKS OF 1T

President Thwing Of the Western Re-
serve university has an article in the De-
cember Forum under the caption, Draw
backs Of a College Education, in which
he undertakes to enumerate some of the
disadvantages of college training. Sim
gularly enough, he believes the chief
injury to be through fixing the habit Of
loving and doing only that which is
agreeable" In general sense that is
true. but underlying the formation Of
that habit is feeling of self-sufflciency
and superiority which the young gradu-
ate feels, and which wholly units him
for the currents of commerce and re-
tards his advance in the professions.
The mistake very many young gradu-
ates make is in supposing that some
how an extraordinary amount of COM
mon sense is transmitted to them by the
"sheepskin," whereas a college train
ing does little more than furnish an
encyclopaedia of, we may say, practi-
cally every branch of knowledge, but
in no degree does 1t supply common
sense. A college-bred man should know
better where to seek and how to acquire
knowledge than one who has not had
that training. but that is all the advan-
tage he has, other things. that is, the
ability to absorb knowledge by expert
ence, study and observation, being
equal.
What the future may develop 10 only
conjecture, but thus far the colleges
have not furnished many OF the worlds
projectors and founders of great COM
mercial enterprises, nor have the ave-
nues Of the political and social advance
ment of humanity been widen
ed and deepened. generally speak
ing, "by the product of the
university" 1t is the common sense
man of affairs to whom the world looks
for q leader. 1t is not the dead lam
guages, but the living issues Of the times
which need to be most understood. 1t
is better to know little of the prob
problems Of Euclid. 1t is better that the
American boy should know somewhat
Of the spirit of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence than much of Virgilian verse.
1t is better that he should have knowl--
edge of the science of human govern
ment than Of the science of the stars.
It il better that he should measure the
advance Of mankind to higher and truer
levels of existence than the inter- planet
that he feel it is no conde-
scension on his part to go from
the college building to the ware
house Of commerce. to the lathe Of the
machinist or to the case OF the printer.
A college education might be made to
dignity labor but never would honest
labor disgrace a college graduate.
Nevertheless, the advantages Of a col
lege education are too many and they
are too valuable in the employments cf
life to be turned away from by anyone.
In fact, it may be said to be duty that
every young man and young woman
owes to the world to strive for the high
est and best education his or her circum-
stances will permit. Then aim high in
the activities of life, but do not think
college education is necessary to reach
the ultimate Of human success.

A WORD TO GOOD PEOPLE

The first victim Of the wrath Of the
Parkhurst Summing committee was told
by the court yesterday to go in peace.
1t is not the province of newspapeS to
anticipate the decisions of the courts,
nor try to influence them in anyway but
if the case that was tried and dismissed
yesterday was a representative case, it
would be wronging the taxpayers of Los
Angeles to pile up court expenses merely
to give certain notoriety seekers an op-
portunity to pose upon the witness stand
as "holier than thou men. This slum-
ming committee and it's indecent word
pictures Of indecency is fast becoming
a stencil in the nostrils of all good peo-
pie, and public sentiment is rapidly
reaching the point where smothered in
dignation will burst forth and go sweep
ing down upon the Parkhurst smut-mill
like a fierce tornado.
There Is no doubt at all that the slum-
ming committee has and is still doing in
calculable harm to the youth of this
community. The committee is composed
Of men whose business it is to polish and
weave words into bouquets of rhetorical
flowers and sprinkle them with the gilt
tering dew of the rhyme and rhythm of
seductive poesy, and when they employ
their descriptive powers to portray
scenes of vice there is bound to be
aroused in the heart and mind q young
men burning desire to witness it all,
first, because of the horror of the situa-
tion, and then by wish to prolong the
scene until desire prompts participation.
And when the young man is bound to the
wheel of shame and degradation, will he
not be justified in moments of contrition
in pointing his vice-marked finger at the
committee and saying, my sins be upon
your head?"
But that is not all the evil that the
Summing committee is sowing broad
cast in the minds and hearts OF the youth
Of Los Angeles. 1t is natural for woman
to abhor a man who tyrannizes over her
rous man to stand between woman and
her oppressor. Is it SO difficult, then, to
see how this persecution-persecuti
apparently instigated by desire for no.
toriety-might create sympathy in the
hearts of girls for the unfortunate of
their sex to. if not beyond, the danger
point? Is there one so blind that he can
not see how such brutal treatment of
women, in the gutter OF sin and shame
though they be, might arouse spirit of
resentment in the heart Of the brave
young man that would lead him too far
on the wrong side?
And. again. has the Summing commit
tee raised it, voice in condemnation Of

REPUBLICAN TREAcHERY

Senator Aliens motion to take up the
Dingley bill forced the leaders Of the
Republican party to practically admit
that their campaign talk about the press
ing need of a revision of the tariff to
provide for the expense account Of the
royernemnt was not only misleading,
but deliberately laid plan to deceive
the people The necessities of the gov
ernment was so great, they said during
the campaign, that the Dingley bill
would be rushed through the ssnate to
give the treasury relief until a more
thorough and comprehensive measure
to provide revenue could be adopted, but
their insincerity was shown when Sena-
tor Allen moved to make the Dingley bill
the order of business. The motion
brought the leaders Of the Republican
side to their feet, and they lost no time in
forming a combination to bury the bill
In the finance COMMITTEES.
Senator Allen is Populist and he
looks upon the Dingley bill as a scheme
to rob the people, and his purpose in
moving that it be taken up and acted
upon by the senate was to prove out of
the mouths of Republicans themselves
that they are dealing treacherously with
the people. Time over and again Mr..
Mckinley, as did other prominent Re
publicans declared during the campaign
that If the Dingley bill were passed at
this session of congress the necessity
for an extra session would be obvated,
as the customs duties collected under
that bill would be ample to provide for
a thorough revision of the tariff law
could be made, but the very first motion
to take the bill up by the senate and en-
act into law was defeated by the Re
publicans, and the whole question of ad-
ditional revenues practically shelved.
Every move of the Republican leaders
since the election substantiates the
charges made against them by the
Bryan following during the campaign.
that If Mckinley were elected the trusts
and monopolies would jump into the sad
die and ride rough shod over the people.
Hanna and company do not want any,
thing done by the present congress. It
would spoil all their plans. What they
want IL an extra session of congress i'm
mediately after Mckinley is inaugur-
ated so as to put their schemes into
operation as soon as possible, among
which are the retirement of the green
backs and treasury notes, tariff act
on the lines of the old Mckinley schedule
and the annexation Of the Hawaiian
islands. The industrial and other trusts
and monopolies which donated $500
600 to elect Mckinley do not propose to
wait FOR the regular session of congress
9 year hence. They want to begin to get
their money back right away. The in
dications now are that the next congress
Will be convened not later than March
36, and that 1t will remain in session
until every promise that Hanna made to
the country's barons and plutocrats is
fulnlled to their entire satisfaction. The
advantages that were to accrue to the
contributors to the campaign fund will
be due aud payable on March 4. and the
