In his address Of welcome at the one
hundred and fifty-second opening of
Columbia university, President Nicho-
las Murray Butler took occasion to
point out the forcible illustrat ations
now being afforded the rising genera
ton Of the difference between repu-
tation and character. The American
people are receiving some painful les
sons in practical ethics, as President
Butler says, and Of late we have been
watching regulations melt away like
snow before the sum-" President But
Ter had in mind, Of course, the insur-
ance scandals. There has. indeed,
been matter brought to light to make
an honest man blush. Hamilton w.
Mabie, another American, whose pat.
riotism and cleanliness of thought none
will deny, even though he may not
rank as financier, has Just returned
from Europe. Current scandals in
commercial life, he says, are the talk
of the hour in Europe and It Is
matter of shame to any American to
hear his countrymen referred to as
swindlers and sha-pers. Mr.. Mabie
fears that our business prospects and
the respect in which our financiers
have heretofore been held have been
changed. To-day In England, Ger
many and France the American, when
finance Is discussed. must be prepared
to meet the faint smile and quiet sneer
of contempt. This is a penalty we
have to pay for the wrong doing of the
big men Of the American money world.
who have long abused confidence re-
posed in them and managed their
trusts for their own profits rather than
for the benefits Of the people they rep
resented. 1t will not do, however. to
take a too hopeless view of this sit
uation. America has no monopoly of
crookedness in finance. 1t is true that
it Is hard to recall a time when in
foreign affairs so many names of
prominence were besmirched as in the
present New York disclosures, but
England has had its Hooleys of recent
date, and as for France, it is the last
one entitled to set up as critic. Prin-
cipally, however, the saving feature
Is American public opinion, No man
can for moment doubt that the peo-
pie of our country are right If men
who have sat in high places must fall.
If family names long honored must
have the stain Of thievery put on them,
If regulations must be punctured
through and through with graft and
deceit, 1t is better it should all come
at once. And it must be noted that
public opinion is not in favor of spar
ing any one, but clamors rather for
full exposition of all the iniquity and
the throwing out of the grafters and
thieves.

George Bancroft, the historian, in an
early diary, recently published, tells
a story Of German lady whose father
sent her through the university in an
age when few women were privileged
to receive a scholars education. Ban
croft, a boy of eighteen, reflects the
spirit Of the early years Of the last
century in this naive comment: 'In
her character and conversation she is
irreproachable, and from a long ac-
quaintance with her, l am told, one
would never hear from her a word
that would betray her learning" This
grave young gentleman-a free-born
American, too-admired the lady for
not betraying what was best in her
mind. No wonder that at almost the
same time Jane Austen, with fine, gen.
tie irony, apologies for heroine who
blushed at her Ignorance; Where
people wish to attach" she writes,
they should always be ignorant. To
come with well-informed mind Is to
come with an inability Of administer
Ing to the vanity Of others, which a
sensible person would always wish to
avoid. A woman especially, If she

else to rejoice in, she could at least
congratulate herself that the sting has

the reason the task is so difficult Is
