COLLEGE FOR JOKE SMITHS.
Alumnus OF Wisconsin, ~" to Teach
CartoonIsts and Funny Men.

Madison, Wis-The establishment
Of college Of humorists. joke max
ars and cartOOnists was suggested by
d. ". Smith Of Milwaukee, 1880, re-
SpOndinng to a toast at the annual
dinner Of the Wisconsin alumni asso-
cation. The idea was highly approved
and the speaker promised something
from Milwaukee toward the accom-
pliahment Of the end he suggested.
Mr.. Smith offered to establish a de-
paltment OF the university, with pro-
fessors and instructors to equip stu
dents in the art of story telling. crack
Ing good jokes, drawing marketable
cartoons and turning the sunny side
OF life to profitable ends.
He would, he said, turn out Twains,
Depews, Pecks and McCutcheons.
Such a university department is not
now in existence and Mr. Smith be-
lieves it would prove itself practi-
cable and valuable.

were also attacks upon President Nc
Kinlev or his administration is an
other feature that is severely crltlclz-
ed. Papers of standing, independent
and republican, are quite severe edl-
tOrially upon Postmaster-General
Payne.
Mr.. Payne is not in good health and
ne never should have assumed the
burden of the postoffice department
in, the BEGINNING The development
CT frauds and irregularities have been
a great shock to him, and he no doubt
would be glad to give up the burden
although he would not like TO resign
under fire. AS a matter Of fact, he
has declared 10 his personal friends
that he will not resign, and intimates
that only death or removal by the
president could take him out Of the
pOstoffice department. Secretary AL
ger took the same stand, and yet when
the Mckinley administrator was at
tackled on account of Alger, a way
was found to secure his resignation.
Some papers are demanding that
Payne should go, and that Bristow
be named for his place, in order to
cleanse properly the pOstOffice depart
ment. When these demands become
general, and come from republican
and Independent as well as democrat
ic papers, their effect will no doubt
be felt, and the postmaster general
will do as Alger did-relieve the ad-
ministratiOn OF the strain.
