When a man finds his surroundings
pleasant enough to describe in such
language as this: at was like being
at home with my dear old mother"
it may safely be conceded that fol
him no more can be desired. Mr..
Perry said this. and in the following
connection:
There are not words enough in the
English language for me to express
myself as 10 what the Kelley Insti-
tute has done for me, and the kind
treatment that l received while in the
Institution. 1t was more like being
home with my dear old mother than
any other place | can mention. 1t

steps Taken That Will Eventually Give
all Students an Opportunity TO
Participate.

New York. Dec. 21.-Columbia Uni
vtrsity's decision in recommending the
abolition of all inter collegiate sports
was acted upon promptly today by
President Nicholas Murray Butler. He
appointed two committees to devise
plans whereby the recommendations
made by the university council may
most speedily be accomplished. One
committee consisted of faculty men,
bcrs and the other of alumni.
President Butler said this action did
not aim to abolish college athletics at
Columbia altogether but to abolish
them only in their present form in or
der to put athletics on basis in
which every student can participate.
He said that Columbia's ultimate pur-
pose was to encourage the widest pos
sible participation of students in ath-
letiCS.

ton of all kinds of business? II seem,
to me that it would. But on the otbe,
hand let us say for arguments SAX,
that the country hereabouts experien.
ces an thrush of immigration in the
next few years resulting in farming
lands being operated on a smalIe,
scale. If such a thing happened our
city would gain more than if the farms
remained large, for the small farms
would mean more people. So. to nv
mind, which ever way the country W.
ing around us develops within the
next decade or so Wana Walla has
good chance to profit and advance
immensely.
The writer believes that the i'm
provements suggested in this letter
are all of a kind that we cannot start
to work on any too soon II this is
true, what's the use of waiting twen-
ty years for them? Why not get a
move On and start the ball rolling
right away on the principle that if a
piece of work is good it can't be done
with too much speed.
And this fact. If we start in with
some system, organization and vigor
to look after our own interests we
will not be going astray We will be
doing the modern thing; something
that every wide-awake town and city
in the land is doing in this day.
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly
great man-One of the greatest

ly of how affairs should be conducted

nal should be dug, etc. While ne does

marking that the main issue with

wick. And President Roosevelt is
right. He knows that When each COM
town or city sees to and is
loyal to its own and best interests
the big affairs and the country at
large will take care of themselves
