President Thwing's Opinion.

CLEVELAND, o.. April 6.-Concerning
the bequest of Cecil Rhodes for college
tuition for young men. President Charles
F. Thwing. of Western Reserve University,
said to-day:
THE bequest OF Cecil Rhodes is signifi-
cant of the increasing power of education
for the organization and betterment of
humanity. This power has rapidly in
creased in recent decades. Mr.. Rhodes S
bequest is at once a sign and cause and a
result of the increase. This increase in the
power of education is subject to various
perils. Chief among these perils is that of
an undue emphasis upon intellectual fact
and forces. However important the intel
lect may be, the will and the heart are of
greater Importance. The methods of selec-
tion of candidates who may receive his
bounty which Mr.. Rhodes suggests are on
the whole wise. The application of Mr.
Rhodess bequest to the colleges of each
State in America should occasion no par
ticular difficulty The executive govern
ment of a State should be able to choose
the best men with comparative ease"

"Oil is now being used for fuel on few
locomotives in Japan and there is much

can be exported TO Japan at a price that
will permit ii TO compete with coal there
is no doubt that it will find a market"

We believe that it is not generally
known that at the next municipal
elections the mayor and other elective
officers except alderman of each city
in this state are chosen for two years.
A short law passed in the closing

eral legislators had done all they
could to kill it, cOnfers upon the cities
Of the state this partial relief from
the expenses and nonsense of an an
nual municipal campaign. The law
may not materially affect some cities
where the mayor and elective officers
are chosen for two years, but in the
majority of the cities the law increas-
es the terms of several city officers.
The law was passed through the eff
forts Of friends Of the League Of Wis

part of it's program for uniform bien-
