AN UNTRUE STATEMENT.

An Indiana college president
recently made this statement:
"a college education is an alb
solute guarantee against poverty
and distress"
The Prof. who made this an
.nounoement must ave either
been on his way toj the insane
asylum or three sheets in the
wind on rot-gut whiskey. It is
absolutely certain that a college
education no more knocks out
seatless breeches and an empty
stomach than kicking the straw
at a camp meeting 5ntitles you
to an unmolested pass through
the pearly gates above. We
wonder if the Prof, meant to say
to the young men of this country,
"get a college education, set
down on the southern hemis-
phere Of your pants and live and
die sucking a silver spoon?" If
he did he's a full breed maniac.
1t takes energy and education
combined to keep that hungry
feeling at a distance, and a darn
| sight more Of the former than of
the latter, Education is uplifting
and very necessary; college edu-
cation is all right, but when a
ten-cent gentleman gets q college
education, begins to part his hair
in the middle, and imagines he's
gotan absolute guarantee against
poverty and labor, you'll see the
energetic young men who re-,
ceiyed common school educatiolk
outclass him ten to one getting
along in the world, In other
words. don't lot your education
put quietus on the rtuscles of
your arms.

THE PRAYER OF LAF AYETTE.

Lafayette, the gallant French
man, who left his native country
to engage in battle for the thir-
teen colonies during their strug-
gle for freedom from English op-
preston, on the occasion of his
last visit to the country he had
helped to free and learned to
love, uttered this prayer:
MAY this immense tenn
pie Of of freedom ever stand
a lesson to oppressors, an
example to the oppressed
and q sanctuary for the
rights Of mankind; and may
these glorious United States
attain that complete splendor
which shall illustrate the
blessings Of their govern
ment and rejoice the departed
souls Of its founders"
Those who are inclined to vote
for the party Of militarism and
imperialism should pause and
consider the words Of Lafayette,
our country's early defender, as
he viewed it, having thrown off
the yoke of tyranny; May this
immense temple Of freedom
ever stand a lesson to oppres-
sors. "
