His opinion is that mine times out of ten you'll be con-

The consensus of opinion" existing between the
college president and Colonel Butler does not how

methods. Colonel Butler says mine times out of
ten not ten times. and you'll be considered" not
you are dishonest.
But their views do prove that the college president
was not overly discreet patriotic in warning young
men to avoid public careers. Hcw will good govern
ment be perpetuaed if good and able are to deny
their services to the public? What will be the status
of the public service if the impression must always

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP"

Lately college president advised the graduates
who stood before him, impatient go forth and con-
Quer the great wide world that it were best for their
regulations to shun public life and all its blandish-
ments. Should they serve the public faithfully, and
should they honestly fortunes and should they
retire with both honor and MEANS they would never
theless be objects of suspicion
The burden of this doctrine is that public officer
who began in poverty with little financial resources
muate competence except by extremely doubtful If
not criminal methods and practices. Or else if his
motives were proper and his practices correct and
laudabie. the public would attribute cunning him
and he would acquire dsrepute the if he had
been corrupt.
Either-runs the theory-a public officer is dishon.
est if he is honest he should be counted as dis
honest because, since he is public officer he prob
ably is dishonest ought to be, might be- Conse-
quently. If he has saved money or made money by
careful investment his integrity be discounted
howsoever worthy of esteem he might seem to be in
his official capacity or in private life.
Therefore. concludes the college president, my
neophytes must remain out of public life. They may
be honest: yet people would charge them with dis
honesty. They might live up to all the laws: they
might not even stoop to common-sense compromise:
they might give part of their salaries the poor they
might not only gain but earn the love and respect
of their fellow-ctizens And yet in the end if they
should have the sembance OF fortunes. the adorin;
but tickle public would put Interrogation marks in
