DR.. ALDERMAN WELCOMED
TO VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
Ceremony Takes Place in CharlOttes-
ville-Brilliant Assemblage Of Schol-
ars and Students Present.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Sept. To-
A public welcome to DR.. Edwin A. AL
derman. as president Of the University
Of virginia, was given in the Auditorium
last evening in the presence OF the board
OF visitors and a large assemblage made
up Of professors, students and visitors.
The rector. the Hon. c. P. Jones, OF
Monterey Va, presided
DR.. Page, the last chairman Of the
faculty. was spokesman for the uni
versity professors and officers.
DR.. Alderman made a speech OF dis
tinguished ability and absorbing interest
in response to DR.. Pages address OF
welcome. He paid this tribute to the
South:
The South has something. believe me,
precious and distinctive in manhood and
character 10 contribute to American life.
It shall be a subtle blend of the old
spirit which did not know how TO com
promise and did know how TO die for
faith. and the new spirit which looks
at life with wide clear. steady eyes and
which has been beaten ~ freer civic
forces into finer and more efficient form.
In the sweet justice OF God, you and
those like you in our sister colleges shall
become of this mold. and IT is for you
to help US to make Of this noble foun-
da tlon the place OF central Importance
in this historic out-working Of this new
type Of personal culture and social
efficiency"

Judge O'Neal Must Act.

A Local justice OF the peace, sitting
temporarily as a judge Of the Police
Court, has made this remarkable dec
laration:
The judges of the Police Court
have developed a scheme Of filming all
offenders that come before them in
large amounts.
Their design may be to have their
salaries increased.
Anyway, I do not approve OF it,
Judge O'NeaI cannot be ignorant of
the obligations which that charge
puts upon him. In conformity with
his oath of Office, ana in consonance
with his post as a chancellor of JUS
tice he must proceed at once either
to submit formal charges against the
regular occupants of the bench he
now fills as a substitute or to with
draw his intimations with full apology
TO the regular judges.
We own we are not impressed by
the manner in which his allegations
are made public. It would more near
ly become an officer Of a court to con-
fer with the District Commissioners
on so serious a matter and permit
them to state the charges after they
had been made with due formality.
But that may have been merely a mis-
take What follows will not be sub
ject TO excuse on that ground.
Having said this thing in his official
character nothing now remains for
Judge O'Neal to do except to sup
port his remarkable declaration with
formal charges or TO withdraw in the
form of full apology. He owes this
much to the regular magistrates and
the people Of the District of Column
bia, but more than to them, to his
own reputation as a Judge.

Surgery and Morals.

Discovery was made recently that
an indianapolis boy who had been
known as a desperate young criminal
had had his mental functions de-
ranged by pieces Of bone PRESSING
against the brain. After an opera
ton the boy recovered safely and
shows not a trace Of his former IN
pleasant traits.
This suggests that the real remedy
for crime may be surgical. The knife
and saw become instruments of re-
form. In some cases. Of course. the
patient might be killed, but innocent
patients are sometimes victims of this
mischance.
All these demonstrations as to the
physical causes OF crime ought to do
some good. Nothing is more certain
than that many children develop
criminal instincts through lack of
vitality or the attack OF some in
sidious disease. A perfectly healthy
child rarely is criminal. II may be-
come a criminal through wrong bring
Ing up or wrong conditions which
turn the normal instincts into wrong
channels, but the average human be-
ing, given plenty Of fresh air, food,
and occupation will behave.

Faults of Writers.
Then some young writer's have a great

said. and some others have lots Of words
and no ideas. They lack physical power.
Mr.. Marden pointed out that many
journalists give only per cent OF their
energy 10 their work and 95 per cent TO
dissipation and idleness. He advised
them TO cut out the booze and omit the
cigarette Thus 100 per cent Of their
energies will go toward making the
world bright.
Then DR.. H Delmar French. dean OF
the school. put the wheels IN motion,
and the manufacture OF new journalists
was on for another year. This term
they have a new stunt for the senior
class. Under the chaperonage of the
teachers. they're going TO report real

Journalist Mardens Hot Air

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE Brooklyn
branch OF the New York School OF
Journalism has held its opening session.
This Brooklyn branch is a night
schoc'. It has been polishing or future
journalists for two years.
Judging by the class last night. the
journalists OF the future will be 20 per
cent women. Some Of them, in the nat
ural limitation Of years, cant have
much future.
Marden's Hot Air.
Orrin SWEET Marden. Of the Success
magazine, made the opening address OF
the season. After prophesying a great
Improvement for Journalism all along
the line, Marden went extensively into
the faults OF young writer's. He said
that the man or woman who goes into
journaHs because he or she has a tall
ent for stringing together phrases is
making a big mistake To be A good
journalist. Mr. Marden said, one must
understand life.
He must have walked in the Acad-
enc with Plato; he must have held the
pass with LeOnidas," he said And
besides taking this exercise. he must
have lived Then a journalist must Gull
uvate power And for that there is
nothing like physical strength 4 great
