Why don't General Gomez promise

ADVICE TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

Our college presidents have been
giving some remarkably sensible al
vice to their students of late, says
the Chicago News. There seems toe
be a growing disposition on the part
of higher education to concern itself
with practical problems Of daily ~.
ing. The heads OF Columbia and Yale
have recently spoken in no uncertain
terms concerning the glaring dishon-
esty which has been exposed in high
places. President Charles w. Eliot
of Harvard follows up the good work
with a forcefui address on the sub
ject CT clean living. The boys are
admonished to "act toward all women

A CONGRESS OF PARENTS.

The congress OF parents held in
Brussels cannot but be regarded as
an improvement upon the congress of
mothers which annually invades som 2
one or other Of our cities, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. This is the first
time, we believe. the father has re-
ceived recognition of this character
and has been invited to air his opin
ions, such as they are, on the rearing
Of children. This evidence of a di3-
position on the part Of women to ad-
NIT that occasionally q man stumDlcH
upon good idea, by accident, cannot
but be gratifying to the meeker, some
times enormously called the sterner
sex. Whether, after being invited,
any man will be able 10 get word in
edgewise, we do not know. 1t is
enough. for the present, to know the
cause of mans emancipation is max
ing progress. The day may yet come
when woman will admit that one man
in 10 knows how to hold the baby.

MODERN MORALS AND METHODS

Nicholas Murray Dutler, presiden'
OF Columbia University, recently made
some timely remarks to the students
Of that institution says the Pittsburg
Gazette. He used the insurance lis.
closures as a text upon which he
based a denunciation Of modern bust
ness methods. He declared that Gus.
now the American people are receiv.
ing some powerful lessons in practical
ethics.
Put bluntly," continued Mr.. Butler
the situation which confronts the
Americans today is due to lack oi
moral principle. New statutes MAJ
be needed, but statutes will not put
moral principle whore 1t does not ex
list. Tho greed for gain and the greed
for rover have blinded men to the Old
time distinction between right and
wrong. Both among hus!acss men and

have substituted the penal code for
the moral law as the standard of con

PUNISHMENT WHERE NEEDED.

Public Indignation should be vented
IN men implicated In the use of en-
;rusted funds for private ends, says
The Boston Globe. Their previous re.
speotability should not save them,
nor should the fact that they have
not wrecked the companies committee
their charge. They have sinned
grievously against the people Of the
United States. They have substituted
recklessness for conservatism in their
Investment of the public's money.
They have used the public's money to
lffect the stock market artifclally tn
he great loss Of honest investors all
1ver the land. They have, unquestion-
lbly. also employed 1t to debauch leg
islators. They have, in short, not
only seriously threatened the material
interests Of the people of the United
States, and of the old world as well
but have been an immense force IN
corrupting public morals

PAY FOR THE SOLDIER.

There is note of interest in the
plan OF the Paymaster General of the
army for an increase In the pay of
enlisted men. He admits that they
are the best paid, best clothed and
best fed soldiers in the world, but he
believes they should have more mon
ey because men who do about the
same work I'm civil life receive more
for their exertions.
This is not the first time an effort
bas been made In this direction, and
n every instance 1t has failed. There

County Chairman Borrower has re-
ceived reports from the Democrats of
Canton precinct to the effect that
about 40 Democrats in that precinct
failed to cast their votes on election
day because the precinct had been
changed and no notification had been
given them of the change. This in
dicates some of the difficulties that
the Democracy of this county had to
contend with during the recent cleo
ton. There were several changes OF
precincts made, but the board, as Or
ganized, is bitterly opposed to the
Morning News ard refused to print
the notifications of the change of the
precincts in this paper. This is the
first time in the history of the board
Of election when such an action had
been taken, and the county organiza-
ton hopes that the rule of those re-
sponsible for such outrages- will be
of short duration.

It will be too bad indeed if the T
ture of the country has to depend on
its present old men. Admiral Dewey
declares that our naval officers are too
old.
"rhe nation" he says, will surely
meet with disaster in O naval war un-
less younger men are given command
of the ships Of our navy"
But we think it would be cruel and
sad to oust the old men. BY the time
that the next war happens, we hope
that all our dear old commanders of
today will have died natural. comfort.

And we hope that some of our young
men wiz have grown older by thai

A REPUBLICAN DILEMMA.

The Republican party with It's pres
ent antagonism stands well to be
even more helplessly split than was
the Democracy at the time Of Cleye-
lands second term. Roosevelt has an
nounced that he is in favor of the fol-
lowing:
Revision of the tariff.
Overthrow Of political bosses
Punishment of the trusts.
Government control of railroad
rates.
Abolition of the spoifs system.
When 1t is taken into consideration
that 1t is the Republican party that
encouraged and benefited by the very
elements the president now denounces,
there will arise the query as to what
the Republican party exists for at all.
Roosevelt has come out upon these
vital issues with the Democrats and
many who have heretofore contrib
uted and aided in keeping the Repub'
lcan party to the fore will hereafter
have a feeling quite TO the contrary.
What will the Republican party o.
Dick and Foraker do without the
moral and financial aid Of the very ele-
ments that have been denounced by
the president?

Modern Social Demands.

One curious effect of taking ourselves
so seriously is the enormously in
creased Importance of the interesting.
Society fairly bristles with the inter-
esting. Sometimes one wonders where
tho uninteresting go. Modern society
demands that you should be something
or do something or say something, or
at least pretend to-. 1t is understood
that you must be celebrated, or notori-
7us. or well advertised, or cheeky, and
even dishonest, il it is on a magnificent
scale. At any rate, you must take
yourself seriously and get swelled
head.--Fortnightly Review.

GOOD BOYS COST s1so PER YEAR.
Estimate Given by an Ohio institution
for the Prevention of Crime.

Estimate Given by an Ohio institution
for the Prevention of Crime.
The cost Of school for the develop
ment Of good boys is thus stated By
Eugene Wood in his article, "a School
for Boys" in Everybody's:
ut costs the state of Ohio about $l60
year for each boy. A useful, capable
man is worth to society. on the aver
age, $4,000 These 1900 boys cost the
state of Ohio, then, say, $2,000,000. Say
1000 of them were rescued. That is
s70.000,000 recovered to society on tho
investment of S2,000,000.
1T has been figured that every crim-
inol does about $4,000 damage a year,
leaving entirely out Of the estimate
what 1t costs to maintain our plant for
the detection, prevention and punish
ment of crime. Each man will be a
criminal not less than twenty years.
That's sI0.000,000 damages multiplied
by 1000 boys, or $2S0,000.000 damages
saved. not counting the cost Of the
anti-criminal plant. Has 1t paid to run
this Boys Industrial School at Lancas-
ter?
"And even If 1t hadn't paid fnan-
cially, isn't ii worth while"
