COLLEGE ATROCITIES
Entire System of "G0odfe'loWShlD >
Must be Reconstructed.

On Saturday, November Is,
1905, a special dispatch to the
Boise statesman from Moscow,
Idaho, stated that "as result of a
battle between freshmen and soph-
ignores at the State University it
is believed that Jay Jellick of
Idaho Falle, a freshman, has been
disfigured for life. Nitrate of sill
yer solution was used to brand the
face and hands of the victim. In
a rush Wednesday night Novem-
Der 22] Roy Barto, president and
leader of the freshmen, was cap
tured and handcuffed. The fresh.
men attempted his release, and
Jellick was left captive among the
sophomores after Barto was liberia
ted. The sophomores applied a
solution of nitrate of silver to their
victims face and hands and upon
his cheeks, forehead and the back
of one hand inserted the brand of
their class number, '08'."
The following Monday, Novem-
Der 81, Governor Gooding sent an
inquiry to Moscow requesting the
facts in the case, and was assured
by J. G. Eldridge, dean of the uni
versity, that the report was abso-
lutely unfounded.'
The deans statement, however,
does not well agree with the situa-
ton in general. In addition to
the Statesman, the Spokane Re.
view received a similar account
from it's Moscow representative.
and the subsequent condition and
appearance of Jellick, as we'll as
the actions of those connected with
the affair, give a semblance of
truth to the original statements.
When Jellick was consulted by
reporter he sought to shield the
alleged perpetrators of the outrage.
He said that it was all o joke and
that "they only intended to leave
dark mark for day or two, but
the solution was a little stronger
than they thought it was. n
The scars are not painful. l don't
want the matter exaggerated, as it
might injure the school,"
The reporter sought DR.. Thomp-
son, who treated Jellick, but before
he could reach the office a messen.
ger dashed in ahead of him with
instructions to the doctor not to
tell the newspaper man anything.
The physician, however, is
quoted as saying, later, that "the
solution did not burn through the
skin and | do not think there will
be any permanent scar. The color
is mostly gone now, and, while it
may take month for all the scars
to disappear, | don't expect any
trouble"

and goodfellowship." However,
whether Internationally or inten-
tionally, his death soon followed,
as he was ground to pieces by a
passing train. On Friday, Deem
Der /. the Knox County Grand
Jury, after investigating the mat.
ter, failed to indict. The Jurors
were of the same opinion as the
Coroner, who previously inquired
into the tragedy, that Pierson was
tied on the tracks in such a posi-
ton that he could not extricate
himself, but the guilty party or
parties could not be determined.
Young Persons murderers may
attempt to still the accusing cla-
NOR of conscience with the mental
cry of 81 didn't intend to do itp'
But that does not bring back to
life the manglcA form of youth
and stronghold him who once
was mothers JOY and fathers graf
flying pride. Neither does It miti-
gate the torturing pain within
their hearts, nor stem the flow Of
ecalding tears in fond paternal
eyes. Nor does it purge of guilt,
in the eyes Of the general public,
the institution allowing and con-
doning such atrocities. 1t is no
excuse that "the boys intended no
harm" The liberation of pre-
sump,ive college comedy too often
results in college tragedy. TO
avoid the latter the former must
be eradicated.
The entire system Of "college
goodfellowship" must be recon-
structed. Such idiotic nonsense as
obtains in all educational institu.
tons has been tolerated too long
90 long that harmless Incidents"
have grown into savage atrocities
and brutal murder.
Is that the object for which pa.
rents send their sons TO college?
Is it for this that some fathers and
mothers toll, slave and deny them
selves, in order that they may give
their beloved boy the advantages
of college education9
Hardly.
Now a.days, when father sends
his son to college, he has no assur-
ance whatever that within a week,
or month, or longer, the lad will
not be sent home on a stretcher.
Very pleasant to contemplate,
isn't it2
There is one effective means of
eradicating all such nonsense-not
to say crime-from college "itiner-
ary:" withdraw support.
AS soon as the public expresses
disapproval of any particular line
of policy through the instrument
tality of finance, the policy will be
changed.

attitude of class champion, which
demonstrates that he is true blue
and chivalrous. No action was Ia
ken by the faculty, and everything
possible was done to make the pub
lie forget the affair.
In the eyes of Jellick's fellow
students, and especially those
young savages who perpetrated
the outrage, he has adopted the
honorable" course. In the
eyes Of the general public, he
has simply acquiesced in col
lege custom, And this partic-
ular act, and all Of the many
other "incidents" in connection
with college goodfellowship, are
they not merely the surviving
traces of savagery not yet Grad
icated from the blood OF the
modern civilized being?
Isn't crime criminal in col
lege, as we'll as in private life?
A few years ago, in Los An
geles, California, a woman 1--WE
will call her Jane Doe), IN the
heat of passion engendered by
real or fancied grievance, threw
"vitriol" in the face of another
woman (whom we will call Jen-
ME Roe). Jennie Roe was not
injured much-not nearly so
much as Student Jellick, the
other day. Nevertheless, Jane
Doe was given short term
in prison for her act.
Why should the act of the
university sophomores be con-
doned and Jane Doe be pun
ished2 Perhaps you will argue
that the crime lies in the intent.
Well, let's see: Jane Doe in
sisted that she did not intend
to disfgure or permanently in
jure Jennie Roe; she planned
merely to throw in her enemy's
face solution which would
cause momentary paln-noth-
ing more. And that is exactly
what she did. But the result
might have been different. Jen-
ME might have been disfgured
for life, or lost her sight, or even
her life, had the liquid been differ
ent. And is ones culpability, or
the severity of ones punishment,
to be gagged entirely by ones in
tent? Suppose Jane Doe had used
a compound so deadly in its effect
as to consume the human fesh2
Suppose she had caused the death
of Jennie Roe? Then suppose she
had defended herself with the plea
that it was all a mistake; that she
only intended to use painful but
harmless preparationl Would she
not have been just as guilty Of
murder as though murder had
| tsn her original intent? And
would not her sentence have been
for the capital offense instead of
the lesser crime?
According to the many news
paper accounts of the affair, it is
conceded that the university soph-
ignores used nitrate of silver So
luton. 1t is admitted that the
preparation was stronger than
they knew. Suppose it had been
stronger still? Suppose it had
been something else, very severe,
or even fatal, in its effect? Since
it is admitted that they were ig-
norant of the strength Of the prep
aration, it is in no wise due to

With Drunkenness on the
Bench

Washington, Feb. 1.-The following
statement regarding the charges
against Judge Irwin of Oklahoma was
made public today at the department
CT justice by the special assistant at
tcrney general, Charles W. Russell:
Some time ago Milton b. Cope. a
l9Eyer Of FL Reno. Oklahoma. filed
charges against Judge G F. Irwin Of
the Second judicial district of Okla
Roma. charging him with drunkenness
on the bench on a certain day, and on
information and belief with various
other offsnses. Mr.. Cope desired an
investigation. but was Informed that
unless he supported his charges with
aftidavits none would be made. This
he failed to do.
The department of justice has re-
osived from Judge Irwin statement
supported by affidavits of some of the
very parties whom Mr.. Cope referred
10 i'm support of his alIega tons, show
ing that the allegations had no basis
IN fact, and hence the department will
take no further action i'm the premises.
1t appears that the judge was sick

drunk"
