The Pcrplexities of Il College Presi-

Let us suppose Il gentleman to be elect

equipped, modern, up 10 date: presuma-

work. experienced in educational affairs,
energetic reasonably and properly amhi-
tiOus, business-like in his methods. and
with enough of masterful spirit TO
make him n natural leader of men. if
given reasonably free right of way. "
Even as he delivers his inaugural adj
dress he is surrounded by those who viii
at least wait with folded hands until he
shall have been tried and proven. even
if they do not actually and very potuu-
TALLY block his way. :
The new president finds also that near
~ every detail of administration must
be submitted to its faculty for its APP
proyal. If the manager of railroad
desires to increase the speed Of his trains
or To make other changes in the time
schedule. or change Il curve or establish
new grades, or improve the rolling stock
or set new requirements for entering the
service OF the company or for continuing
IN the same. or improve the system of
accounting, he very properly consults
those who are most directly interested
IN the particular matter in hand but
he is not bound by the advice given,
much less is he compelled to call mass
meeting of all employees and abide by a
majority vote Not only is his own
individual determination final in all mat
tiers Of general policy. but he may even
step inside special department, make
suggestions as to the details of it's work.

rled out. Not so in the educational

reading these lines, the chill in his veins
and the horror in his heart at the bare
suggestion of such assumption of au,
thority or grant of power is easily i'm
agined. 1t goes without contradiction
that in our colleges and universities
there is practically no educational super
vision whatever. 1t is doubtful if the
bravcst college president in the country
would quite dare TO go into IL department
and make an issue on the methods of in

still more doubtful if he would be Sns.

Never before in the history of the
country could it be said that the people
were too busy to think and read and
attend political meetings. But it is a
fact this year. The farmers are still at
work, the planter is busy, the labor
ing men in every industry are employ
ed full time and overtime. The fall
trade has begun, and, unlike former
Presidential years, every one is hustl-
ing. This is not apathy. On the contr-
AIRY, it is the greatest Republican ar
gument that can be used. These peo-
pie, however, will not be too busy to
register and vote. And they will vote
to continue to be busy, not to close
the mills and destroy the farmers
-market. 1t is McKinleyism against
Organism, and the busy man under
stands the situation even if lie is too
busy and too tired to go to political
meetings and march through the
streets. And when the campaign is
