To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
Mr.. Greeley used to begin many of his
editorials with an anecdote. Here is one
which is not entirely new. perhaps, but,
nevertheless, an illustration: Two patients
in a hospital for the insane fell into con-
versation on the causes Of their mental
trouble. No. / said a religious revival had
carried him off his base and asked No. 2
what carried him off his base. Why"
said No. 2, 1.-The question OF free silver and
10 to 1 brought me here. I'm a free-silver
man. oh" said No. /, you are not In
sane at all. You ought not TO be here.
You're just a d-n fool"
The recent convention at Kansas City
brings this TO mind. Never in all the his
tory Of great parties was a more foolish or
fatal course taken. Had these delegates
relegated the populism and socialism of
1896 to oblivion and made a fight against
trusts, high taxes, Republican ~extrava-
gance, etc. with a patriotic position IN re-
gard to the Philippines, they would have
been beaten, probably, but they would have
held the party together. their honor would
have been saved and they would have been
in good shape for 1904. but, with a faulty
hard TO characterize properly, they allowed
Mr.. Bryan to cram down their throats the
stale, discredited issues of 1896. They
hoped that they had buried them i'm the
platform SO deep under a multitude OF
words on Imperialism. etc, that the Amer
lean people would not find them. How has
it been? The attempt to put free silver in
the platform and then ignore IL on the
stump and talk about something else, Is as
though the Democrats In 1854 had NOM
mated Jen Davis for President and dis
cussed only tariff and taxes. How quickly
the business classes. nay, all classes OF our
people. have seen the real issues. The

of the State of New York and share equi-
tably in all the public funds that are pro-

.tion, and these are very liberal. Under 1t
about a dozen normal schools receive lib
eral State aid, and more than a dozen COL
leges and universities. while its world
famed Cornell University, on its own merits
and for its own sake. is the pride of every
New Yorker, and receives a well-deserved
and princely appropriation, just as our
Purdue University would if it were relieved
from its relation with the mendicant COL
lege which lives only on charity. 1t was a
sorry day to it when it consented to make
common cause with 1.-THE university located
at Bloomington" for the sake of boosting
that institution and securing for it an ap-
preparation, thus putting itself on a level
with that, consenting to be a mere beggar,
whereas the Constitution as specifically
commands appropriations TO IL as IL in
hibits them to that. The people are proud
of what it has done and is capable of doing
when divorced from the present incompat-
ible alliance. and there can hardly be fixed
a limit to the state aid it can
when it breaks loose from its present hu-
initiating tetherings. as it will some day.
The University of New York has another
and a very high function that is much
needed in Indiana; it absolutely weeds out
that whole brood of snide institutions that
live by selling diplomas without scholar
ship. Not only must every college in the
federation teach the full curriculum, but
the granting of diplomas in any branch of
learning by other colleges is severely pun
ishable by law.
Let me suggest, therefore, that President
Swain take the lecture field in Indiana this
summer and fall and call the taxpayers to-
gether and show why they should aid
higher and professional education. There
are some unanswerable arguments in his
schools as. Purdue University. Let us have
a State university, which we have not now,
never have had, and never in law even
pretended to have. All our appropriations
nave gone TO a private school only, except
for a year or two when they were made to
the State University, but the joke was
abandoned as soon as il was discovered by
lawyers that we have no State University.
If we can have a State university without
changing the Constitution. so let 1t be: If
not, let us change the Constitution. The
present Constitution amply provides for the
New York system if that can be made to
answer. But won't the present sole
beneficiary kick TO have to divide with
other equally deserving schools?

shameless attack on our currency, on our
financial honor and prosperity is already
rallying the masses who saved the country
In 1896.
The attempt TO scare the American peo-
pie with imperialism" is a stupid blunder.
Our people do not like a 'quitter." They
are not afraid of the United States army,
made up of our sons, brothers, fathers,
from every ward and township of our
country, and Mr.. Bryan would show UNI
wonted sense in preserving an eloquent ST.
lence on the subject. Opposition to our
country's wars has never been popular, as
the Federal party found in 1916, as the
Wing party discovered, Notwithstanding
its Rough and Ready" victory in 1SiS, and
as the anti-war Democrats realized in 1864.
'Sixteen to one is almost as good a slo-
gan as hauling down the flag. As for flu

ton of Silver Democrats, Silver Repub-

ton I'm itself calculated to repel every
level-headed, thoughtful voter. IL has al
ready had this effect on a number of DEM
ocrats in this town. and so il will doubtless
be all over the country. j. b. LEWIS.

"Children of the Ghetto"

The best writer's in this country who
have seen Mr. Zangwill's famous play,
"The Children of the GEe'to' which
is soon to be presented IN this city,
with the original New York and Lon
don cast, have given the author credit
for having striven honestly and labor
ously to strike q new line, which he,
they claim. has successfully accom-
plsihed. They further claim that ne
has displayed courage in putting On
the stage realisti" pictures Of human
habitation; that h has II ada tho most
accurate portrait painting, and OBJ
served all the accepted dramatic unities
in the development nf plot with
an intensely human basis.
More than $4,000 was expended in
completing every essential feature for
the presentation of the play. More
than two car loads of scenery are
used the play was staged by Mr..
James A. Herne. whose reputation in
this country is without an equal as
master in the art Of stage realism.
More than forty people make up the
entire cast of which the following are
the principal players: Wilton Lackaye,
William Norris. Robert Edeson, Gus
Weinberg. Adolphe Lestna. Gus
Frankel, Emil Hoch. Frank Cornell,
Fred Lotto, Rosabcl Morrison, Nine.

be given at the I.yceum theatre on
next Monday evening. ana there is
every reason to believe that 1t will
be given a most generous reception by
the theatre-@Oing public of this city,
not necessarily because il Is q play
that has attracted almost universal at
tention throughout the United States
and England, but rather upon the basis
of its intense interest. It's dramatic
