The Modern College President.

The college president has come TO
be primarily great executive officer.
In time, doubtless, his work will be
subdivided he himself will submit TO
the prevalent specialization, deans are
relieving him OF the internal admins
tration; superintendent of buildings
aud grounds are caring for the estate;
expert treasurers and great trust COM
panies are looking after the invested
funds; the boards of direction are
limiting themselves to their proper
functions, and faculties are allowed a
freer hand in the educational details.
All this points TO day when the
president will again find the oppor-
tunity enjoyed by his earlier predecess-
ors of employing his own particular
gifts and impressing strongly upon
Others his own personality. He will
become again within the university a
vital force-a Man, written with a
capital M.
Under the pressure of the hour be
may be chosen primarily because it is
thought he will meet an existing ex
igency. That exigency is most often
to raise money. What we want, y is
reported to have been said by a. rich
member of church recently seeking
a pastor, sis a man who will sell
pews. 1t was 5rutally frank, but it
accurately described the situation.
Out of this spring, however, a multi
tude of other duties, and the college
president of to-day has a position
quite above any chance exigency, and
occupies place which no other man
can FILL His excellence is in lines
that are distinctly noble and are his
own. It's measure is to be found
largely in his readiness TO obliterate
himself In giving TO other men their
opportunity and supply their inspira-
ton. He is to provide for Others every
facility for successful work, putting
himself behind all and finding his re-
ward in their achievements and
growth. 1t is easy for him to be
heavy handed, for the traditions of
his Office secure TO him underlined
power; but he is chiefly called upon
for unselfishness. In proportion as
he attains to that he secures coopera-
ton within and support from with
out. In no position is self-seeking or
uncertainty of motive surer to defeat
all.-From 1.-THE Evolution of the
College President by Henry A. Slim
son, in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for April.

STEADILY INCREASING DEMAND.
West Virginia Coal and Timber Lands
Sources of Investment.

The following from the Cumber-
land News Is q good indicator of a
big factor tending to the develop
ment of this States resources
"A. Thompson, manager OF the
Blackwater Lumber Company, of
Davis, w. Va, whose headquarters
are at Philadelphia, left Wednesday
night for visit to the Michigan
lumber camps Mr.. Thompson said
there was steadily increasing de-
mand for West Virginia spruce lum-
Der, which caused a boom in timber
land in that State. i have just re-
turned from West Virginia, he said,
and / have found a great many
agents in the field purchasing tim
Der land. But the demand for lum-
Der is, ] believe, equaled, if not sur
passed by the desire for coal land.
Hundreds of acres Of coal land have
recently been purchased in West
Virginia, and these transactions
have given new impetus to bust
ness generally in sections that have
suffered from a lull in trade

FILIPINOS POOR STICKS.
A Returned Tenth Man Gives Them
Very Bad Rating.

A dispatch from Rochester, Pa,
dated the 29th, says: Edward M.
Power, Jr., of this town, member
of Company A, Tenth Pennsylvania
regiment, arrived home tonight, and
was warmly welcomed. He left Ma
Mia on January % on the transport
Sealandia and arrived in SanFran-
cisco after voyage of 81 days. The
voyage was one of the worst known
on the Pacific ocean. Power enlist
ed in Washington, Pa, at the out
break of the Spanish-American war.
He recounted the story of the battle
of July 81.
Mr.. Power, in describing Manila,
gives it the worst rating possible.
He says it contains about 10000
people, the most lazy and INDECENT
seen anywhere. Their buildings are
one and two-story shacks. Those of
two stories have the second floor pro-
jected over the street. The natives
do very little beside engage in sports
and amusements Their greatest
pastimes are footracing, cock fight
ing and gambling. They use dice
at their gambling, and a native
would sit and gamble until his last
coin was gone. Speaking of the boys
Of the regiment, Mr.. Power states
they are anxious to do their duty
toward Uncle Sam, but are almost
as anxious to come home

A Big Fruit Crop

Those who watch signs and govern
themselves accordingly predict an
carly spring. They hold that there
was no warm weather sufficient to
start trees budding during the
month of February; the same condi-
tions will be in force till April,
when an unusual warm spell will set
in and continue. One of the largest
fruit yields ever known is predicted
through certain sections of the state.

FOR FORGERY.
E. c. Gribble under Arrest at his
Home on Wiles Hill.

Tive Notes Discounted Mt the Bank of
the Monongahela Valley are Forger-
ies--Men on whom they are drawn
Deny Issuing Them Gribble cannot
be Removed FROM Home ON account
of Illness.
f. G. Gribble who recently came
to Morgantown from the vicinity OF
Brueeton, in Preston county, is un-
der arrest at his home on Wiles Hill
on the charge of forgery. The war
rant was sworn out by DIR. Coombs
of the Valley Bank and was served
by Deputy Sheriff John Wallace.
Gribble was found to be unable to
leave his house on account of illness
and Rob Barrackman and Will
Smith have charge of him until he
RECEIVERS enough to appear at the
preliminary hearing. When this will
take place is not known.
The charge OF forgery grew out Of
the discodnting OF couple of notes
which were taken to the Bank of the
Monongahela Valley sometime ago
by Grihble. The men on whom they
were drawn were at once notified
that they were due and they replied
that the notes were forgeries Acting
on their advice DR.. Coombs swore
out the warrant and the man was
arrested.
The notes were on John Gale for
$s4.25 and w. O'Neal for 1924. Both
these men live near Bruceton where
the prisoner formerly resided.
Gribble is stone mason and has
been living here for some time occu
plying the house owned by DR.. Kelly
on Wiles Hill He has wife and
several children but does not seem
to be very well known in town.
What defense he has to offer has not
yet developed.

hold-0rigin of the custom shrouded
in mystery-Some Of the historic
hoaxes-Jokes that may be play ed -
Many people will probably be bitten.
Tomorrow will be All Fools day
and as usual there may be expected
to be great many hoaxs played on
great many people who will forget
that this day is here despite the
warning that is here given them.
The day is usually celebrated in all
its glory by the small boy but there
are children of a larger growth who
are not averse to letting other people
see that they are still kiddish in
that direction.
Some of the jokes that have been
played on that day have become his
torical as for instance the invitations
that were on one occasion sent out
to hundreds of people in London in
vitlng them to call at the tower and
see the white lions washed being
careful to seek admission only at the
White gate. All day long cabmen
hunted in vain for this gate and
were not able to find it for the rea-
SOP that there was no White gate.
Others are equally famous and
created as much merriment for the
ancient wits as this one did.
The custom of fooling people on
this day is SO old that its origin is
lost in the myths of antiquity. II
is probable that it became generally
adopted at this season on account of
the feast of Hull in Hindustan,
which is the New Years celebration
Of that people. The chief diversion
of the day is to send people on er
rands which are sure to end in dis
appointment for the sendee and mer-
riment for the sender and his
friends.
The gentle art of fooling people
was at its height in England in the
eighteenth century, when a local
poet wrote:
No sooner doth all FOOLS morn
approach
But wags, ere Phoebus mounts bis
yellow coach,
In sholes assemble to employ their
sense
In sending fools to get intelligence.
Endless was their joy ii rustic
could be found simple enough to be
sent to the book store for "a Histo-
ry of Ewes Grandmother" to the
grocery store for pigeons milk" or
to the shoemaker's for "strap OIL"
in the latter instance STRAP oil'
meant that the shoemaker would
generously lay on the strap in the
shape Of a whipping.
The day will begin tomorrow for
some people with cotton in their
flannel cakes which will not be at
all appropriate since from their
name wool should be used Ones
hats with bricks under them; fat
pocketbooks tied to string and
thrown on the sidewalk will disap
pear mysteriously when the passer
by attempts to take them up; these
and a. number Of others which will
be quickly suggested to the small
boy will meet the denizens Of town
on the morrow.

NO DANGER FROM ROCKER.
Superintendent McCabe Tells of
Precautions Taken.
HIS TRAINS Do NOT STOP
Are Run Through the Guaranteed Place,
All Employees vacclnated and
Trains Crews Are Placed
Under Restrictions,

Superintendent McCabe of the B., A.
& P. railway declares there is no dan
ger of smallpox spreading to Anacon-
da from Rocker and takes exception
to statements made by Health Officer
Stephens in an interview on the sub
ject in the Standard yesterlay. In
letter addressed to the editor OF the
Standard yesterday, Superintendent
McCabe says:
Several days ago-in fact the fist
day 1t was rumored that there was
smallpox at Rocker-the health Off
GERS and the company physician, Dr.
Murray of Butte, were consulted and it
was then ordered that any employe at
Rocker who had been exposed in any
way by coming in contact with fami-
lies of those having the smallpox, lie
required to have his clothes fumigated
and himself vaccinated and to leave
the place where he would be exposed
to the disease. This was responded to
by all our employees at Rocker. and
way exposed at the present time. None
of the families of our employees were
stricken with the disease.
Our passenger trains have not stop
ped at Rocker since the first day and
will not do so until the quarantine
mas been raised by the health officers
of Silver Bow county.
None of the employees at Rocker
live in Anaconda: none of them have
been here and none of them are re-
quired to come to Anaconda
THE freight trainmen who are oblig
ed to stop at Rocker to do business
en- route do not leave the right of way
and are therefore in no wise exposed
Superintendent McCabe. in an inter-
view yesterday said further:
LAS soon as the men learned there
ately took steps to protect themselves,
and the majority of the employees got
vaccinated right away. They were all
told that it would be well for than,
to do So and nearly all of them were
vaccinated by the company's pnysi-
clan free of charge.
None of the men employed at Rock
err by the B., A. & P. live in Anaconda
and If there We're any they would be
Informed not to come to this city UNI
til the quarantine is raised.
THE smallpox at Rocker has Gre
ated considerable fear among our pat
rons in Butte and Anaconda, AMI ow-
ing to this the travelling has fallen off
in the last few days. I wish to IN
form the people who travel over the
B., A. & P. that trains do not stop
at Rocker and that all our employees,
without an exception, have bean vac
cinated, so that there is no danger ~
their getting the disease or Of small
pox spreading to Anaconda"

The money at all times has been sub

friend Schiffman sent to me. I paid
the SIS in two installments Then I dis
covered that I was acting without
Schiffman's authority and refused to
pay him any more. All Schiffman has
had to do at any time was to call on
me for his money and it would have
been forthcoming, but he has failed
to communicate with me in any man

Important Matters to Como Before That

The November meeting of the city
council will be held tonight, when
business of Importance will come up
for discussion. A very important mat
ter will be the appointment of sue
cessor to eX-Alderman Thomas Nc
CURE for the Fifth ward. MI Nc
CURE left Anaconda several months
ago for the Bitter Root, and his sue
cessor was not appointed sooner be-
cause no one could be found who was
DESTROYS of being a member of the city
council as a representative of the Fifth
ward. Many names are mentioned to
succeed Mr.. Mcclure and there is con-
siderable speculation as to who viii! be
the lucky man.
1t is probable that at to-night's meet
ing DR.. Stephens will ask Mayor Mad
den to issue a proclamation requesting
citizens to get vaccinated Immediately.
