DEMOCRACY OF COLLEGE LIFE,

our wise-or-otherwise contemporary
the New York American, almost al
ways has surplus Of advice tucked
away somewhere about its person that
1t is pleased to let out upon benight-
ed and cropping world on the slightest
provocation.
TOO often" il says, as it notes the
commencement periods approaching
close. "the influence OF the college is un
democratic. 1t gives to fools the sense
of belonging to a superior caste. The
kind Of an aristocrat that real educa-
tion makes IS never snob. Don't
pride yourself on your degree, young
man, Resist the temptation to re-
gard yo1r degree as patent of nobil-
ity. That notion betrays a mind too
small to receive education, which when
genuine gives man the use of his
brains. Use them If you have them.
Don't pride yourself on belonging to a
class. Don't be prig. Be an AM
erican."
All sensible enough in way, says
the New York Commercial. but the ad-
vice appears to be predicated largely on
a vague notion that the college student
exists in an environment and amid In
fluences that set him apart from the
general run of the boys and the young
men Of today. Time was when the
eloister life Of the college was some
thing different from that Of the out
side world--when its traditions and
practices encouraged caste and too Of
ten bred prigs and nincompoops. But
all that is past snd gone.
The American .ollege life of today
Is about as democratic as 1t wen could
be. A boy finds his real level there
little bit quicker than he could on the
outside. If there is any sham or pre-
tention or other foolishness about him
he is given absolutely no peace until
he purges himself Of it or has it kicked
and cuftei and knocked out Of him.
And as to the "sheepskin"
what college graduate. nowadays. ever
sees it after he takes it home and |
shows it 10 the governor" as a sort Of |
warehouse receipt for the goods? What /
one ever thinks Of it again?
Our learned contemporaries advice |
sounds like the echo of pulpit note |
from out of the forties or early fifties..

nuriug the year Just closing, Chicag'
university has received. through gift,
| paid, a total OF s2,ssolccss7s and in II,
same period has secured promises q
gifts to come aggregating ss,li9.SSs,'
ae, Either OF these sums Is consider
ably in excess Of the annual resources
of any one Of the state universities in
the northwest which have been hereto
fore regarded. by their promoters at
least. as in competition with the Chi
cago iustitutioa. says the Butte Inter
Mountain.
Common sense as well as consider
ations Of economy win suggest that
there be an end to the unequal and use-
less rivalry and that the superior po-
sition and advantages gained by Chi
cago university be conceded and made
o profit The state colleges in the sar-
rounding territory instead of serving as
an incentive to envious and unjust
criticism. which can only impede the
magnificent work inaugurated at Chi
cago. without benefit TO anybody. The
management OF Chicago university
makes this desirable change In con-
ditioas comparatively easy by empha-
sizing research rather than undergrad
uate study as the chief object OF its
work.
No state university can keep pace
with the Chicago educational enter
prise for the one sufficient reason that
the citizens of no state will consent to
be taxed % maintain rivalry with such
generous private endowments as have
been gathered in support Of Chicago's
university, especially to no better end
than the duplication Of equipment and
talent for advanced educational work
within a territory which properly
should constitute one field for work
of this character, Michigan. Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Minnesota. and other we'll
established universities in the middle
west win lose nothing in character and
must gain in attendance by recognize
ing the wider scope and different char
acter of the work of the Chicago insti-
tuition, and by utilizing the advantages
II offers instead of seeking to combat
and lessen its influence and usefulness.
To assume. as the practice has been in
some of these states, thatknowledge
provided by Individual munificence is
dangerous to the public and that the
state should establish monopoly In
the good work because private gener-
osity presents dangerous competition
with state colleges. is quite as absurd
as IL would be for Montana to seek TO
disparage established colleges offer
ing extraordinary advantages to stu
dents, or 10 abandon the excellent work
begun at Missoula, merely because the
comparative newness of her own uni
versity and the undeveloped state of
her great resources does not permit her
to offer equal opportunities TO her
young men and women at home.

PRIEST TO ACT AGAINST PARIsHIoNER.
New-Rochelle Saloonkeeper, 1t Is Said, Has
Planned Church Picnic to Boom Business.

Father Manzello. pastor of the new church which
has Just been given to the Italian Catholics OF
New-Rochelle by Adrian Iseln, the banker, has
retained ex-Judge Van Zelm as his counsel ana
will proceed against James Nanerelh, prominent
member of his congregation for obtaining money
under false protences. The priest, who Is rela-
tive of Cardinal Satoll declares that Nanerelh'
acting without any authority, has collected S0 from
Mayor Clarke and various sums from other promi-
nent men in the name of the church Nanerelh Is
a saloonkeeper, and is getting up festival which
he announces is to be held on August g. the Ma
tivity of the Blessed Virgin. in aid of the new
church. On large posters which he has put up he
names dozen prominent citizens as patrons OF the
feast among them Mayor Clarke. Alderman Cum
neen and ex-Judge Van Zelm.
Father Manzello much surprised when he
saw the posters, as the saloonkeeper had not been
near the church to consult him. He visited the
citizens whose names were used patrons, and
found, he says, that NanerelH had used them with
out authority. Father Manzello has consulted Su-
preme Court Justice Keogh, who is a friend OF the
Italian Catholics If he cannot stop the celebration
any other way, he will get an injunction, he says,
to restrain the salOonkeeper from giving the picnic
in the name of the church.
NanerelH says that he Is determined to give the
picnic and that If the of the church is taken
Italian Catholics of New-Rochelle are much in
censed at Nanereis arrangements. They say
that he is giving the picnic to boom his saloon
business

Mr. Strasbourger has been attempting to estab-
Hsh a 'one-man power in the district, and that
he has repeatedly interfered with the membership
of conventions and important committees. But the
special charge is that he is subservient to the
will of f. S. Gibbs. Mr. Slater says he proposes
% institute home rule in the district in the mat
ter of the election of delegates by giving to each
election district the power TO name its own dele
gates.

brought by Mr.. Slater in general and in particu-
lar. He said: Those charges are absolutely un-
true Last fall Slater went to see Senator Platt
