"Present Refinement Process
Tends Toward Lines of a
Female Seminary"
DINING HALL IS THE limit"
Heads of University Are Admon-
ished to Give Less Attention
to Ethics and More to
Hygienics.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. A.-The Prom
number of the Yale Record. the university
comic paper. contains an editorial attack
ing the faculty's policy Of paternalism. The
editorial is, in part, as follows:
"The follies and foibles Of the faculty are
getting beyond belief. In the first place.
they have so fathered Cor perhaps mothered
would be nearer) the freshmen that those
young gentlemen. in consciousness OF per-
feet protection. are making sign Of the
blameless Egyptian to the college at large.
and at the best and Oldest properties.
Freshmen were never injured in the old
Omega lambda Chi days. 1t Is a question
whether or not they are being injured now.
The recent removal of the fence is just
fresh reminder Of the advance Of the faculty
refinement process. a process which tends
toward the glorious goal Of ordering great
university on the irreproachable lines Of
female seminary. This particular abolish
ment was made that the usual dress re-
view Of the prom girl might not be made
Not that the prom girl has ever objected:
quite the contrary. 1t was part Of the fun.
and they knew what was coming to them
on that side Of the chapel College was
quite the place when papa was here. but, o
fudge! there Is none Of that uncultured
roughness now.
But this new dining hall is the limit. It
is feast to the eye and starvation to the
stomach. triumph of masonry, but a
calamity of pastry. Its stones were laid
well and recently. its eggs carelessly and
q very long time ago. The beef is Bowery
tough, and the pork-well, II it were the
swine that the husks did eat we should not
care. but there is no chance of fatted calves
on this kind Of diet. We pay on the aver
age about $3.50 week for this food-we
feel for our $3.50.
There is another thing that seems rather
overpriced. and that Is heat. Ten dollars
each to a pair Of roommates for capri
cious hole in the wall-s40 a room for the
year. You could heat Hades at that price
and save enough out of 1t to give the devil
his due. When We have money to burn We
want something better back than hot air.
"All this is perhaps a little bitter. but We
are bitter from the faculty's gall.
And a word to you, o heads. that mako
our DEGREES and laws. give less attention
to our ethics and more to our hygienics.
Devote less time to abolishing digests and
step in before our digestions abolish them
selves"

State for current expenses, not being used to
liquidate public debt and nothing of such money Is

SPEAKING OF 1RREDUcIBLE DEBTS.


Though using the phrase "irreducible debt"

School Fund constitutional amendment, the Globe
does not come to close quarters
In Ohio the Governor employs the phrase to de-
scribe the Republican partys policy Of handling the
School Fund Of that State.
In Illinois, the authorities use the term "perma-
nent fund" in reports Of Republican management Of
school moneys.
Whether "irreducible debt" is better worse than
permanent fund.-" what Missouri Republican voters
should ask the Globe is whether the long series Of
Republican administrations in Ohio and Illinois, not
often broken In either State, have been guilty of

CUBA'S PRAYER FOR HUMANE TREATMENT.
Following the holding of mass-meeting in the
interest Of reciprocity with the United States the ct
zens Of Havana formed procession, marched to the
palace occupied by Governor General Wood and there
petitioned that official for American help to
Cuba from ruin and desoation
The disaster which threatens Cuba is one solely
the consequence of proscrpve tariff If that burden
is placed Cuban products The people of the island
must needs look to the American people alone for
rescue. The tariff tax which they fear is being con-
cocted by the United States Government Cuba is
forbidden by to make treaties with any other ma
ton calculated to protect and encourage her trade
agriculture and Industries. If We place high tariff
on her products the result will be calamtous.
On our part, we have solemnly pledged the ma
tona honor that shall deal fairly and justly with
Cuba The public sentiment of the United States de-
mands the fulfllment of this pledge. Violation Of
the pledge is urged by certain special interests which
will profit from the destruction of Cuban industries
The final decision in the matter rests with the Amer
can Congress. All the pressure possible to the synd
cate masters Of the Republican majority in Congress
Is being brought to bear to impose high tariff on
Cuban products. The unhappy outlook at the present
moment is that Congress will yield to this pressure.
The Havana procession to the gates of the Amer-
can Governor Generals palace there to entreat jus
tice at our hands, was pathetic historical event
IL
this peoples prayer. We cannot do wrong to
weaker people and escape the penalty God will not
permit the worlds greatest free Government to sin
against the spirit of freedom and not be punished for
that sim What shall be answer to the prayer Of
the Cuban people? Just and humane dealing with
weak and helpless nation holding promise for
such dealing, or hgh-handed oppression in the form
of tyrannical taxation for the further enrichment Of
American plutocrats? The decision il this solemn
matter is Of tremendously greater moment to
selves than to Cuba If wrong that little people,
being too mighty for them to resist, shall pay for
the wrong in disaster humiliation as Gods
justice prevails.
