The Rhodes Scholarships.
Atlanta Journal.

In view of the fact that DR.. Parkip,
the American agent Of the Cecil
Rhodes scholarship fund, is now in
the South, considerable interest is
manifested in this section as to the
provisions attaching to these scholar-
ships.
1t WA provided in Mr.. Rhodes
will that Except in the cases Of the
four schools hereinbefore mentioned,
the election to scholarships shall be
by the trustees, after such, if auy,
consultation as they shall thlnk tit
with the minister having control of
education in such colony, province,
State, or territory"
The first "Rhodes scholar" ep.
p tinted from America, it seems, is
MIR. Eugene H. Lehman, private
tutor residing in New York city, but
appointed by the governor of Colo.
RADIO as the representative of that
| State.
The point is made by the trust ees,
however, that the governor of Colo
rado is not the "mlnister having con
troll of education" in that State, and
it is possible that the announcement
OF Mr. Lehman's appointment is pro-
mature.
Be that as it may, the point of in
terest is the qualifications necess ry
to secure one of these scholarship ps.
1t IL very clenr that if the trustees
follow Mr.. Rhodes wishes in the
matter, rs expressed in his will, every
Rhodes scholar will have to be an
sail round man," 80 to speak.
| The Rhodes will makes it very clear
that he did not wish to spend his
money for the production or encour
sgemnnt Of bookworms, but that he
wan'od to hel p men of broad vision,
m who aspire to take an active
part in the worlds work. Here ia
what he said about it:

ton during school days of moral

utes will be likely in after life to
guide him to esteem the performance
OF public duties as his highest aim" !"
And here is the way he would have
his trustees mark applicants: He
goes on to say that, on basis Of 200
marks, he would allow so each for
tho first and third qualifications, and
Az each for the second and fourth.
80 that if there are any boys who
think they can measure up to Mr..
Rhodes standard, aud who wish to
be educated in Oxford university,
England, let them get in line by
com" unicating with the minister of
education" for their State.

LIGHT EVERY NIGHT 4
Commercial Club Believes Moonlight
Street Lighting Schedule
Should Be Abolished.
Tax Levy Board Will Be Asked for
Money for Light Every
Night.

Forces are combining themselves in va
rious parts of the city to abolish the
moonlight schedule" for street lighting.
Beautiful. in theory and an undoubted
money saver, the moon schedule often
falls for the clouds seemingly prefer to
gather and obscure the moon at just the
time when it is charged with the task of
| lighting, the streets Of Minneapolis.
Time and again attempts have been
made to put into effect the all might and
every night system Of lighting which has
long been in use In St. Paul and every
other city which has outgrown the vii
lage stage, but the board of tax levy has
| deftly used the knife to defeat the at
| tempt. Once even the board Of tax levy
responded to the general movement, but
a group of democratic aldermen, includ-
ing Joseph ,Kiichli and James G. Haynes,
who is now mayor, of the city, had the
appropriation "pruned'' down to fit the
old moonlight schedule"
The public affairs committee of the
Commercial club backed by the whole
club is gathering opinions and figures to
present with strong arguments to the
aldermen in council, the board Of tax
levy and the pruning committee Of the
council in turn. E a,5
. The efforts of the Commercial club will
be strongly seconded by the council COM
mittee on gas, the members Of which
realize the necessity of placing the street
Il lighting question on better basis.
The city pays about $4,000 annually
for lighting the streets and public build
ings of which something over $4,000 goes
for electric lighting. W. G. Nye, who is
Investigating the aquestion for the Com
mercial club. finds that the extension of
the hours Of lighting to All all-night and
every-night service would colst only about

Minneapolis Chicago Lines May Do Away

If there should prove to be any truth
in the report that the Milwaukee, the

Chicago lines are going to do away with
the double contract excursion tickets
there will be great rejoicing among the
ticket brokers. Under the double con-

return ticket from the joint agent or not
at all. When the going and returning
ticket are both issued to the purchaser
he can sell the return ticket to the
