VALUE or COLLEGE TRAINING.
AWakens the Student to the Pro bl ems
CT the World

1t may as we'll be admitted that
college training does not teach a man
to keep books or to sell goods What
education aims to do is to educate
to develop the man, to awaken him
to the problems of the world, to
widen his horizon. There is no dan
ger that not enough attention shall be
given to commercial development.
But there is possibility that the
business man may become narrowed
TO his task and fail to take an inter-
est in the world of ideas about him.
Education ought not to prevent a
man from acquiring the necessary de-
tails OF business. And it ought to
make him more valuable citizen.
That most successful business men
believe this is shown by the fact that
they are sending their sons to college.

Much Depends on Location.

Who would believe that the pros.
perity OF a restaurant depends on
which side of the street it is and
which corner 1t happens to occupy?
Yet there is tradition that these de-
tails are of the utmost Importance.
The right side, according to this the
ory, is the west side, and the persons
who hold it point triumphantly to a
long list of establishments which
prospered famously on one SIDE while
the other is strewn with failures. A
second part of this tradition holds
that the restaurant, to succeed, must
alwaTs ne on the downtown corner.

He was willing, but untitled.
He didn't believe in himself.
He asked too many questions.
Eo was stung by bad book.
His stock excuse was Il forgot
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart in his work.
He learned nothing from his blund

He felt that he was above his posi-

He chose his friends among his in
feriors.
He ruined his ability by half doing
things.
He never dared to act on his own
judgment.
He did not think it worth while to

He tried to make bluff take the
place of ability.
He thought he must take amusement
every evening.
Familiarity with slipshod methods
paralyzed his ideal.
He thought it was clever to use
coarse and profane language.
He was ashamed of his parents be-
cause they were old-fashioned.
He initiated the habits Of men who
could stand more than he could.
He did not learn that the best part

Denver. March 29.-The Republican
this morning summarizes its special
dispatches from Colorado Springs yes
terday, as follows:
"All the names in the jury box OF
the District Court were ordered de-
stroyed by the court this afternoon on
account of the panel having been IL
legally drawn. This means about 700
names less from which to select jury
in the great Stratton will case, and a
delay of three days in the proceedings
and an added interest to the sensation
al suit pending for the Stratton mil
lions.
"The attorneys of the estates execu-
tors challenged the whole list on tech
nical grounds; the attorneys for young
Stratton opposed the proposition, but
the court declared that the second pan
el of sixty men summoned to appear
should not serve, and that all the
names drawn at the beginning of the
term of court. originally 500, should
be invalidated
IAN emergency venire was ordered
of 100 persons. to be drawn from list
of every taxpayer in the county, thus
giving 5000 names to select from.
This was done under an agreement
oil the attorneys and the court to make
jury panel as wide. representative
free from possible suspicion of
taint or jobbery as possible.
"A return of the venire of 100 was
ordered for Tuesday at IL O'Clock,
when court will reconvene and an eff

Following is the summary published
by the News:
THE panel of sixty jurors sum-

placed in the jury box in total disre-
