MAKING STRUGGLE

Dean Of Faculty Comments Upo- This
Old-Time Spirit IN Youth
Of Today.

There is something of the spirit of
the old-Hme schools I'm the atmosphere
Of the George Washington University
something that is reminiscent of the
days when men who, after time. be-
came identified with the making and
preservation of the institutions of this
great country of ours struggled and

The stories of these men are all Ia
miliar 90 us; and 20 many are con

Many of the students of the George
Washington University are young men
and women who are employed during
the day in some way. Their education
is acquired after office hours. and paid
for by their own efforts. They dis
play an earnestness in their class work
that is a fine prophecy for the future.

Value of a Vote.

In a recent paper Mrs. Margaret
Sangster treated of the value OF the
franchise. the dignity of the act OF
voting. Her view is one that should
be taken with seriousness.
Many men decline TO go TO the
trouble of voting 1t has never been
observed that citizens of this class
refrained from pOst-election kicking.
They are the ones most apt TO grow
eloquent in describing the low estate
TO which politics has fallen, the dan
gers that threaten the country. and
in their laziness they fail to discern
q cause of much of the trouble
The man to whom the law permits
a vote should exercise the right. 1t
IS a duty as we'll as a right. and no
good citizen viii eyade it or try
to make amends for his neglect by
blowing about the corruption and in
competency 10 which his slOth direct
ly contributes. In a Presidential year
there is especial necessity for a full
expression from the voting body, for
by no other means can there be as
certainment OF sentiment or surety of
rule by an actual majority.
Every man ought 10 know why he
votes FOR one ticket and against an
other. He should study the situa-
tiOn for himself In the present cam
paign he has 70 consider that the
country is prosperous and that any
change would be apt to be a factor
OF disturbance Therefore, he must. be-
fore voting for a change, convince him
self that there are principles the sup
port Of which viii justify the risk. The
opponents of Mr. Roosevelt have tried
10 show that he is a dangerous man,
that he has oppressed the Philippines,
thar ne has taken advantage OF Pan
anna; in fact. that he yields a big
stick" and travels with a chip pre-
cariOusly balanced upon his shoulder
They have sought to demonstrate that
expenditures have been recklessl y
enormous, that the navy is designed
70 embr0il as abroad. and the army
TO destroy us at home. Taking an
other tack, they have asserted Mr..
Roosevelt 10 be the friend of trusts,
the tool Of capital. 1t is fair TO say
that in all OF these efforts they have
failed, and in some instances so alb
Jectly as 10 have become ridiculous.
Analysis of the situation viii trace
most of the clamOr to the simple cir
cumstance that the side that is out
desires TO get in. The mere gratifca-
ton Of this ambition is no part OF
a voters duty. The mere division
OF leaves and fishes is OF no interest
10 him. 1t is OF interest TO him that
authority be in the hands Of cOmpe-
tency and honesty When he knows
il TO be in such hands, TO keep it
there rather than try experiments
is a logical and safe course. Yet the
voter is entitled 10 absolute freedom.
There is nothing 10 hinder him, If he
SO desires, from voting for Mr.. SwaI-
low. or Ar. Watson. or Mr.. Debs. al
though this act would be a waste of
ali opportunity except that OF indi-
eating preference
