Higher Education.

The Cornell students who creased the
tracks of a street railway and caused
car filed with passengers to slide down
hill at a dangerous speed have evidently
the same conception of the purposes or
university as those young men who maze
their lcwer-class associates and conduct
diabolical and sometimes homicidal initia-
tor ceremonies. Such conduct smacks or
the kindergarten in some respects and or
the haunts of criminals in others. 1t surely
does not suggest that the great student
body in this country is chiefly in need or
scholastic training. These happenings cause
some fashioned people to long for the
good old days of muscular education, when
the teacher proved his worth by the use
of his strong right arm and the effective
welding of the birch rod. They shake the
faith of some in the wisdom of multiplying
the great schools of the country. There IS
little confidence that such students as
those who CREASED the tracks are being
evolved into good citizens by the scholastic
process. Better an ignoramus who respects
the rights of others than man with
fraternity pin on the lower edge of MS
waistcoat who believes the world was
made for his own sporty enjoyment.

s. f. Kiser in the Chicago Record Herald.
Shout, oh, you that long have suffered Give your
sudden gladness voice.
II is well that IN your triumph you should fear
lessly rejoice;
Drown the eriefs you long have carried in a food
Of happy tears;
Let the very be shaken By the volley Of your
cheers;
Bu. you may as well remember while you sing
and shout for glee
That you'll have to keep working even though
they've set You free
Rise, oh. you that long have groveledi You have
the right you sought:
You possess the joys ~ freedom, though they have
been dearly bought:
Let the flames upon your affairs cast glow across
the lands
That go long have lain in darkness; bat there's
werk still for your handsl
Font forget that Freedom puts no goods upon
the shelves.
And is not thing that crops to SOW and
reap themselves.
Sing for Joy snd pile your shackles where they msy
be gnawed by rust,
shcut the rcry Of the freedom that IS given 20
your trust!
Let your cheers ascend to heaven. that the angels
there may know
And he glad that Right has given Wrong another
crushing blow
But remember while exultng over matters AZ they

Philadelphia's Opportunity.

While the New York city campaign Is spec
tacular with Jerome and Hearst furnishing
fireworks there is a much more seriously
important contest for clean government in
Philadelphia and one upon which hinges the
future welfare OF that community The
issues drawn In Philadelphia are clean-cut
and are not TO be confused. They converge
TO this question: Shall the people rule them
selves according to their principles of right
and wrong or shall they be ruled by Ia
group of grafters who use the title OF the
republican party to insure a following?
There can be no mistaking the facts In
the Philadelphia campaign For years the
ring In command OF the republican forces
in that city has plundered right and leIt Ii
has made fat profits out OF public works
contracts. II has drawn percentages from
the salaries OF municipal employees 1t has
prostituted the city's forces to the end of
buttressing the barricades against a reform
revolt. The police have protected the re-
peaters at election time. and the public
works forces have been used chiefly as res
eryoirs of voting strength.
The disclosures which have ACCOMPANIED
the breaking away OF Mayer Weaver from
the gang have shocked the country, pre-

Literally. however. that II what II TO be
done. The plan is to push ahead 60o-foot
sections of bulkheads or caissons and pump
them out and work on the river bottom In
the space thus exposed.
The lake carriers object that this will
close one-third of the channel at one time
and greatly longest the flow Of trafflc up
and down the river. Those who have
watched the great lake feet In action at
the height Of the season will understand
the seriousness of the prospect. The d.
lemma that confronts these steamboat men
is similar to that which occasionally faces
the merchants Of New York, when some dis
rupting public improvement Is undertaken
on. Broadway. causing the transformation
of that street into a channel capable of
carrying only tiny rivulet of traffic.
Modern engineering is indeed entitled to
high praise when 1t confidently proposes
thus to work on the 'open-trench' basis
for the tunneling Of crowded river.

ganized and are deeply stirred. and it is al

No Cranberry saucea

terrifying suggestion is waited eastward
from Chicago There may be no cranberry
sauce for Thanksgiving! Can such things
be? Are all the cherished institutions to
fall?
The Cape Cod cranberry crop was a fall
ure this year, 1t appears. For some occult
reason the fruit did not mature. Some may
ailege the disturbance Of the atmosphere
caused by the Jargon OF tongues at Ports
mouth during the peace conference. Some
may aver that the earth trembIed too much
in the mighty conflict between high tariff
and revisionist principles right within the
bounds Of Massachusetts. Some may de-
clare that the boil weeyfl. driven from home
by the Guatemalan ant found the juices Of
the cranberry to his liking and transplanted
himself to the big neck Of sand. Enough
however, that the cranberries did not come
to taw this year.
When Cape Cod falls down on cranberries
there is little hope. The rest OF the country
may furnish few quarts OF scrawny, bitter
pellets that will pass muster on a pinch.
But the real article comes from the cape.
The whole market takes its tone from
that classic home OF the macrocarpon.
Cape Cod is to the cranberry crop as Della
ware Is to the peach crop. 1t Is to the
berry world as Indiana Is to the realm of
fiction. A blight in one place means
blight everywhere.
And this year Cape Cod has gone back
on the epicures. and consequently the mar
ket price Of cranberries has jumped from 20
and $3.50 barrel to $40 and $11 barrel.

Fortunately the turkey crop was in good

Parting the Waters

These are indeed the days OF marvels We
dig tunnels under mountains, streets and
rivers. We lay bare the bed Of the ocean
We ascend into the air with skeleton frame
works for buildings hundreds OF feet in
height. We bore deep into the ground for
foundations. We are taking liberties with
all the elements.
When the railroad contractors started work
on the tunnel under Capitol Hin, to give
access TO the union station for the trains
from the south. they asked for permission
to conduct the work on the "open-cut"
method, digging a great trench from the
surface to the bed of the tunnel founda-
tons and later covering up the big tubes
The entire community protested against this
process, citing the great disarrangement of
traffic and the prolonged discomfort to resi-
dents resulting from the cut-and-coyer plan
The Commissioners finally refused to grant
the request and confined the engineers to
the boring method.
Recollections of this controversy will be
revived by the announcement from Detroit
that the president of the Lake Carriers AS
sociation has entered n vigorous protest
against the plan to be pursued in the con-
struction of the projected tunnel under the
Detroit river. The engineers of that work
propose to adopt the same system OF "cut
and cover that was rejected for the Capt.
toll Hin enterprise. The proposition requires
some consideration before 1t can be grasped
They are going to open up the river from
the surface and dig down through the waters
ard lay bare the bed and open trench
in the solid ground beneath and construct
the tunnel. and then cover In with rocks
and water. 1t sounds startlingly simple.
