EDITORIAL COMMENT

Mr.. Lows financial management of
Columbia University has reduced the
deficit for annual running expenses
from $50, 1876 in 1889, to 1921 for the
current year, Notwithstanding a large
increase in the expenses since last year.
This record is creditable in the highest
degree. 1t proves that the wise re-
organization of university athletic
management on its financial side which
has been effected by Mr.. Low was no
more thorough and conservative than
his general control of the financial re-
sources of the university. He has been
often and justly mentioned as an ad-
mirable example of the new type of
university president in whom executive
and financial ability are the first re-
quisities. In another year, according to
the figures of the annual report pub
lshed in this mornings papers, the
deficit would have been wiped out

Some women may be envious of their
sister women, but members of woman's
missionaries societies are ever ready to
praise their sister members. A woman
in a missionary society receives due
credit for everything she does in that
organization. If she reads paper she
is congratulated till she really must be-
lieve she has accomplished something.
If she makes a speech she is almost
kissed-in fact, she sometimes is kissed.
She sings a solo-her voice is pro-
nounced exquisite In fact, there is no
envy among missionary women. The
cause for which the labor seems to
unity them They set one another up
on little pedestals, and for one woman
to set another on a pedestal is an oc-
