THE AMERICAN COLLEGE.
It's Establishment Is Very Costly, But
the Result Is Well Worth
the Price.

The recognition has also become gen
eral that higher education represents
the best condition for great benefi-
cence With this recognition is united
the knowledge that higher education
is tremendously costly-in the opinion
of some, extravagantly costly, writes
President Charles F. Thwing, in the
Forum. 1t belongs to those utilities
of which the value is not to be meas
ured in the scales of the mint, although
they cannot be purchased without
gold. At the recent decennial celebra-
ton of the University of Chicago, both
the wise founder of that university
and it's efficient president intimated
in public addresses that the cost of it's
ablishment and management for
ten years was far more than it was at
first expected to be. With this appre-
citation of the necessarily great cost of
higher education has gone the assur-
ance that it is, nevertheless, worth
while to meet this cost. The price is
high, but the result is worth the price.
Many small beneficences are useless
and worse than useless. They create
or foster the ills they are designed to
cure. If they do not create or foster
evils, they do nothing toward curing
them. A gentleman, rich and gen
erous, said to me once that he felt half
the money he gave away was wasted.
1t is easy to waste money in college
work The founding of colleges with
small sums of money and unto small
achievements is wastefulness. The
founding of such colleges may do some
good, but it also does much and more
evil. Speaking of certain college, a
friend of mine said: "That college,
that college which did all it could to
keep me from getting an education!"
Such college may inspire certain
youths to go on, but it makes more of
them satisfied to stay where they are.
The great benefcences, however, are
less in peril of failing to accomplish
their design. Great beneficences are
public. Negligences are easily seen,
reached and corrected. Extravagances
are more conspicuous, and are more
easily Topped off. Great benefcences
command great talents in their ad-
ministration. The college is public.
It's trustees are among the ablest and
most upright citizens of the common
wealth. Great benefcences represent
conditions which are related to the
world, not to neighborhood, and are
for all time, not for day or for a
decade. All this is true, and more than
true of the great college, with respect
to the increase of the esteem in which
it is held by the American people.

AUTOMOBILES Manufacture in Frnnce

Automobilism, directly or Indirect
ly, maintains more people in France
than almost any other industry. All
the factories have tripled their out
put during the last three years, and
manufacturers formerly making cycles
now produce automobiles. At first
Paris was the only city where auto
mobiles were made. but now Lyons,
Bordeaux, Marseilles, Lille, ST. Etienne,
Nantes and Rouen have factories to
supply local demands. By reckoning
all the workmen in the various branch
es that are benefited by the automo-
bile industry, a total is obtained of
nearly 100000 persons dependent upon

Hats Of to the bartender.

In Russia no man may enter a gov
eminent establishment without re
moving his hat-a rule which has
caused some trouble, it appears, since
the establishment of the government
spirit shops. There have been dis
putes between the officials behind the
bars and the customers as to the re-
moval of the headgear, with the re-
suit that the question was submitted
to the minister of finance. That Off
cial has caused notice to be issued
warning the public against any disre-
spectful demeanor, while in the state
public houses, frequenters of which
must in the future remove their hats.

MAI. WILSON THANKED.
Newton Enterprise.

Newton Enterprise.
The candidacy of Judge Walter Clark
for Chief Justice of the Supreme court
has been effectually disposed of by a
letter of Maj. J. W. Wilson, which was
published by most of the daily papers
last week. The indictment was so strong
and Of such a serious nature that both
friends and opponents of Judge Clark
have been free to say that unless he can
refute it, his candidacy must be given
up. And it is generally conceded that
Maj Wilson's charges are so carefully
prepared and firmly grounded on proof
that they cannot be shaken by any an
sWer that Clark and his friends can
make.
We have been opposed to Clark all
along, and have given our reasons full
ly in former editorials. The Wilson let
ter confirms the correctness of our po-
sition. Maj. Wilson has done his party
valuable service in setting this matter
so forcibly before the people before the
meeting Of the convention. The party
could not have carried so heavy a load
through the campaign if Clark had been
nominated and our opponents allowed to
expose the record.

Stanly Enterprise.
Unless Judge Clark satisfactorily re-
flutes the charges, certainly the Demo
cratic party has but one thing to do-T
that is, refuse to consider his name in
the convention. g..
Major Wilson is too we'll known and
has too much at stake to make idle
charges of so grave a nature, and is too
old to be governed by feelings of mall
ice. He challenges Judge Clark to de-
Uses. if he does, to produce proof at
once.
The question is one beyond mere par
ty consideration. If Judge Clark is guilty
of the charges, the party has suffered
enough at his hands already and insult
should not be added to injury to an out
ragged people by placing such a man on
the highest seat of our Supreme court
Under such circumstances, any Democrat
who would support him has no regard
for questions moral and is neither loyal
to party nor State.
We have been openly opposed to Judge
Clark from the beginning. His charac-
ter is emblaZoned on scores of his pub
lie acts. and while he has done much
good along certain lines, the ''Mr. Hyde"
in his nature has overridden the good.
and the man at last shines forth in his
true light. 'Tis sad. but true.

the latter's reply is not sufficient an
