Lorain, O., May TIT is not our

Mayor F. j. King to-day. 81 donot
mean that the Rev. Mr.. Walser is to

ticient grounds, but he has not es-
capped suspicion. The council has

ing there was no other course open
t me but to discharge HIM There
are many guilty men at large. be-
lieve that the murderer OF Agatha
Reichlin was that night an inmate OF

Mayor King said that in his opin
ion either Walser or some other in /.
mate of the house committed the
crime. Coroner French, after an ex-
haustive investigation, declared that
il Reichlin's two brothers knew posi-
lively that Walser killed the woman,
they would not tell it.

robbery" said Coroner French. 81

COLLEGE CAREER
HURTFUL, HE SAYS.
Manufacturer Thinks it Handi-
caps Young Man in Bust
ness Life.

Chicago, May So take tn,
ground that a young man who goel
to college not only is not benefited
by it, after spending seven years II
time and $4,000 or $12, 900 IL
money, but ia most decidedly ant
positively injured by the college
since he comes out so conceited that
he is at a great disadvantage in get,
ting into business, and it takes years,
and sometimes a lifetime, to get bis
head back to a normal size."
This is the thesis elaborated by r,
I. Crane, the Chicago manufacturer,
in q booklet OF ITO pages, entitled
1.-The Utility of an Academic or class
ical Education for Young men who
have to earn their own living and
who expect to pursue a commercial
life," OF which a second and enlarged
edition has just appeared.
Mr.. Crane contends that the college
graduate is handicapped instead OF
helped by his education, that he can
not earn as much money as the non
collegian and is not so useful in a
commercial establishment. He holds
that all academic learning above the
grammar grade is a mistaken invest
ment Of time and money for the
youth who has to make his own way
in the world. He denies that the
college man is more ussful citizen
than the man trained in a business
house.
1.-THE whole tendency of the so
called higher education" Mr.. Crane
says, sis to puff the young man up
with vanity, causing him to look
with contempt upon labor"
These conclusions have been reach
ed by Mr.. Crane after collecting and
sitting u large amount of original
data. First, he submitted a series OF
questions to 10 college presidents
The replies OF those who answered
are printed, but the whole class OF
testimony is rejected by Mr.. Crane
as scientifically worthless Then he
wrote to 1893 college graduates, OF
whom 555 replied, largely in favor
OF a college education. This testi
mony is also impeached by Mr.. Crane,
who thinks the graduates have
stretched their consciences" out OF
loyalty to Their colleges.
Finally Mr.. Crane sent an elaborate
list OF questions to the heads oflarge
and industrial concerns
all over the country, asking whether
they preferred or avoided college
graduates; whether such men advanc-
ID more rapidly than Others, with
other queries to the same effect. The
'eplies from Employers form the
most significant portion of the book. |

BRYAN DEFENDS ". J. STONE.
Nothing in his Connection With Alum
Bill to Criticise.

Lincoln, Neb., MAY THE leading
editorial in tomorrow's Commonel
is a defense of Senator Stone, OF Mis-
souri,, in the alum bill matter Mr.
Bryan says. after making a brieI
statement of what the Senator said
in his explanation before the State
Press Association at Kansas City:
"When one knows OF the facts in
this case and then reads the venom
GUS attacks made upon Senator
Stone by the corporation papers, be
understands how much Senator
Stone is feared.
"The Republican party has on
numerous occasions sent to the
United States Senate men who had
fora period OF years made their head
quarters at State capitals and lob.
bied In behalf OF railroads; 1t has now
In Congress men who are pecuniarily
interested in the exploitation of the
Philippine Islands, and who in their
official capacity pass upon measures
that vitality affect their business en-
terprises.
''The Republicans at one time vot-
ed for a presidential candidate who
was shown to have received $4,000
as fee from a company that had
business before his committee when
he was member OF Congress, and
yet these same Republicans are horri-
fled to think that private citizen,
not an official, acting as an attor-
ney, should prosecute suits under a
statute OF the State or prepare a
written brief upon a subject before
the Legislature.
Governor Stone has aroused the
anger OF the great corporations be
cause he has attacked the influences
that dominate the Republican party
in State and nation; he has angered
the metropolitan papers because he
has exposed their subserviency to
organized wealth, and he Is now
made the victim OF their constant as.
saults. He has been q Prosecuting
Attorney, a Congressman and a
Governor, and no one has been able
topoint to all act in-his official career
that was open to criticism.
"Baffled in their attempts to find
a flaw in his official record, his enc
mics seize upon and misrepresent a
transaction in which, while a private
citizen, he appeared as an attorney.
"The courage with which Senator
Stone has attacked corruption and
those who have been guilty OF it, is
in itself proof that there is nothing
in his life than can be exposed to his
The most courage which
he has shown can only rest upon a
of moral conduct-a
guilty conscience makes men cow
ardly."
