COLLEGE GRAFT.

Lincoln Steffens should train his pen
dent Hadley, of Yale, begged the youth
of the land to avoid politics unless they
possessed wealth sufficient to render
them immune to the Establishments of
the briber and the boodler, he was APP
parently ignorant of the fact that the
average collegian knows a thing or two
himself about the game of graft and is
not likely to be deterEed from entering
upon a political career by the fear that
dishonest coin may cling to his palm.
The Ann Arbor undergraduate, for in
stance, has demonstrated to the dis
satisfaction of the faculty that in graft
ing ways that are dark and in boodling
tricks that are vain he is a match for
the average politician. An Ann Arbor
honor Office is something more than an
honor merely; it is a source of profit to
the man who fills it. Or, rather, it has
been. for the dissatisfied faculty has
asserted itself and there is now a de-
partment of graft in the university. the
avowed object of which is the opening
of the eyes Of those who have been
graft victims.
So if Mr.. Steffens should undertake
to write up graft as it exists in the
Michigan college, he would probably
select for the title of it, Ann Arbor, Half
Free and Fighting On" in acknowl
edgment of the new department. And
it is possible, too, that he would find
in this new department suggestion
for the cure of graft as 1T exists not
only in the American college, but also
in the American city. For while the
public must deplore the cause which
necessitated the instituting of a graft
department in the Michigan university,
it may be permitted to indulge in the
hope that out of the special evil gem
eral good will result. The aim Of the
department is to turn out graduates
trained to withstand the bOodling
spirit. Should the aim be realized,
there will probably dawn in the near
future an era of plain living and high
thinking that will make the world for
get that this country ever bore the
brand of the dollar sign, the mark Of
mammon.
For behind the graft is the desire to
get rich quick, and it is this desire that
the graft department will have to
fight 1t will have to persuade the
students that the love of what money
can buy is the root Of all evil; it will
have to convince them that brown
stone mansions and fat bank accounts
are not necessary evidences of success
in life; it will have to induce them to
substitute for the rule of graft, DO 9TH
ers before they have a chance to do
you" the golden rule. And, Of course, the
test will be difficult one for all uni
versities and particularly for those
universities that are supported by gen
erous gifts from the retired grafters
and the active grafters. But even Mr..
Steffens is not pessimist, and there is
no reason why the American public
should not regard as a promising sign
the establishment of a department of
graft i'll the Ann Arbor university.

CENTRAL PARK M. E.
CHURCH PAYS DEBT
Congregation Meets Pastor LongIey's
Offer to Pay Half of Mortgage.

AT an enthusiastic meeting Sunday
night the congregation of Central Park
NJ. E. church practically cleared the
church debt. The result of the meeting
was an assurance Of funds sufficient
to pay a mortgage of $4,000 due next
October.
Rev. Benjamin Longley, pastor Of
the church. made known. a few days
ago, that he himself would pay half
of this mortgage, if the congregation
would pay the other half His pro-
pOsal was brought before the meet
ing at the church L. b. Wick
ersheim presided. Tenders of money
followed with such promptness that
within a short time the entire 81 900
had been provided for. Mr.. Wicker
shelm was then able to announce, with
much satisfaction, "Our church is now
our own"

So said Chief Justice Start yester-
day afternoon while the board Of par
dons was considering the application
Of Benjamin J. Campbell, of Duluth,
for communication Of a three-vear
sentence imposed for embezzling 81
500 from the Modern Samaritans. in
which he held a position Of trust.
The man who steals from YOU
when you trust him with your money
IS more of a scOundrel than the thief
who robs you at the point Of a revoI-
YER" continued Justice Start. 'The
embezzler is guilty Of two crimes. ONLY
one Of which is punishable. but the
other OF which is equally degrading.
10 violate the confidence of 2 man
who trusts you is a more serious Of
tense, as far as morality is concerned.
IMAM to merely take a sum of money
from man whom you have not led to
have confidence in you"
George H. Crosby, imperial scribe of
the Modern Samaritans, who appeared
IN pehalf OF Campbell pointed out that
the prisoner, who is tWenty-eight
years old, had been a young man Of
exemplary habits, and that he had
never been guilty Of an irreguIarity
before; that the money taken had
been restored, and that he had used it
for the benefit of his family and had
not been addicted to gambling or other
vices. He asked that the sentence be
committed to two years. and that the
prisoner be granted a parole. Mr..
Crosby said he would be willing to re-
instate Campbell in case the latter
was paroled
while there may be extenuating
circumstances about this case, it
would be dangerous to set an example
that would inspire young men with
the idea that they might violate the
law and, in case of being caught,
they might submit to a sentence and
secure a pardon said Chief Justice
Start. The application was then taken
under adVisement.

Among the Merrymakers
a Sense of Security,

An age of chemicals is this.
The mixtures that they brew
Are proof against analysis,
Each day brings something new.
There's bOrax in the meat, it's said,
And acid in the beer,
And there is alum in the bread,
And everything tastes queer.
And so my soul / shall not fret,
Although the harveSts fail
And fruits a mOurnful fate have met,
Touched by the frosty gale.
For, though the very worst is done
BY cold or parching heat
L know that while the factories run,
Wen have enough to eat.
