eyebrows the first time suggested it
showed that was on the right track.
Zone night he said he had a severe
headache and would remain at home.
I opposed the idea and insisted that an
evening at his club would make him
forget his headache. He gave me
hard look, but acted on the suggestion.
I knew he would be back within an

Walter Wellman. in a Washington
special to the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, says:
The financial and political collapse
of the Hearst presidential boom is
the talk Of the hour, Little surprise
was expressed here when news came
from St. Louis that Mr. Hearst had
Cancelled his contract for $50 hotel
rooms during the convention week
in that city, and that he had in
formed his lieutenants that no more
funds would be furnished for politl
cal operations.
It mad been understood here for
some time that Hearst was nearly
at the end of his string, SO far as
spending money for delegates was
concerned, and that the hour was
near at hand when he would find it
necessary to cut off his campaign ex-
penses aud husband his resources in
taking care of his news enterprises.
According to the version given this
morning by the Washington Post, a
paper which from the first has been
friendly to Hearst, in a letter to A.
M. Lucas, at ST. Louis, Mr.. Law
renee, western manager of Mr..
Hearst's interests quoted Hearst as
follows:
''If the people want me they can
have me; if they don't want me |
don It want the place. =
In other words, Mr.. Hearst has
discovered at last that the presi-
dency of the United States cannot
be bought. He has tried and failed
and at last knows he has fail d. But
he makes the discovery according to
the best information, only after
spending princely fortune in the
vain pursuit of this will-o the wis p
of his ambition.
The estimate which I gave some
weeks ago coming from one of
Hearst's New York employees, that
the Hearst boom had up to that
time cost a million and a half of dol
lars, is now believed to be too low
figure. Others in position to keep
fairly close tab on his expenditures
declare that the grand total will
rise to So 100000.

The Trail of the Serpent

President Van Hise is reported
to have said. in an address to the
students of the University of Wis
consin assembled in special convo-
cation last Wednesday;"I sometimes
wonder whether or not the state is
justified in supporting this univer-
sity." This remark was forced from
the president by the conduct of a
band of hoodlums who had placarded
the grounds with posters reading
ITO with the jubilee, and de-
handing that President Van Hise
redeem the promise, made in jest, to
dispense with examinations. !
While the republican state conven-
ton was being held in Madison last
week a prominent man from the in
terror of the state remarked that he
had determined to send his son to
one of the eastern colleges as he be-
lieved the influences at Madison
were not such as would bring out
the best that was in him. He called
attention to the fact that large
number of students had been enlist
ed in the force of deputy sheriffs and
assistant sergeants at arm who
guarded the convention hall on the
theory that there would be a riot.
Another squad has been marshaled
and trained to invade the hall and
use their voices and fists, if neces-
sary, in the Governors cause. He
argued that when young impress
sionable men attending the states
great university are taught that
such things were legitimate in poll
tics it is time to pause and consider
the probable outcome.
The Sentinel has always been a
friend of the university and it will
continue in the future as in the past
to do what it can to advance it's in
terests. But when the president Of
the university and leading men CT
the state begin to doubt the wisdom
of continuing to support that insti-
tuition the situation becomes one
that demands sober thought The
university is all that it should be as
an educational institution. In many
respects it stands in the front rank
Of American state universities and
in some departments it leads them
all.
But in spite of the efforts of the
faculty, such as they are to mai:.-
tain discipline and keep the student
body free from demoralizing infuen-
ces, there have been forces at work
in the university of late that have
had an evil effect upon the moral of
therinstitution. The same influence
that has debauched the civil service
of the state and transformed it into
on army of sychophants minions Of
a political machine has been at work
among the students. ''The trial Of
the serpent is over them ALL" IT the
cause is not soon removed there will
be a reason to fear for the univer-
sity In the not distant future. Mil

Coal consumers would be amused
at the remark made before the Inter
state Commerce Commission by
President Thomas of the Lehigh
road, concerning the price of coal
were the question less serious
one. Mr.. Thomas says the price OF
coal depends upon the public's will
ingness to pay. An unwilling pub
lie has been paying price Tor coal
for number of years that it has
formally and informally declared TO
be too high, but the coal barons
have kept on with their exactions
on the ground that the consumers
were willing. Mr.. Thomas should
have said that the coal barons would
continue to ask high prices for coal
as long as the public was not in posi-
ton to prevent them from SO doing.

one of the foremost politicians in
