THE MODERN COLLEGE.
FIRES. Hall Of Clark University Tells of.
Some Desirable Changes.

New York, Nov. &c. Stanley Hail.
president of Clark University, Worces-
ter. Mass, spoke on Certain Changes
Desirable in the American College," at
the regular meeting of the Round
Table at Columbia University, last
night. He said among other things:
THE modern college professor does
not hold the same position, today. that
he did few years ago. He has bat
come merged into the university. Ac-
cord;ng to the modern college arrange
rnent, every pupil will soon have his
own professor"
President Hall is not in favor Of the
present system of college entrance exl
anlnatfons. He believes they are en-
tirely too difficult ..t-. !
The tendency is to standardize
knowledge, SO that it is like baled hay"
he said. Colleges ought to be open I'd
everyone who. can profit by the prIyi-
lego. That man has read the Bible
in English is a sufficient entrance ex-
animation"
In speaking of athletics in college he
sald that the principal object of ath-
'et'cs should be the development Of the
gentleman"
The tendency nowadays" said Pres
ident Hall, is to sidetrack all human
lstic studies. Astronomy, which is one
OF the greatest uplifting studies, is fast
becoming a dead letter"

convicted, it is likely that he Will pass

The deputy enforcement commission
ers in Gardiner. yesterday, made no
searches. and there was no evidence
that the liquor business was thriving.
And, according to the general opinion
the illegal traffic is not likely to be eX-
tensive for Il long time.
Tales used to be told of how liquor
was sold under extraordinary difficult
ties in Gardiner, of searches and seiz-
ures. the details of which are seldom
equalled in the widest fiction, OF
hides which We're made on lines of
cltverness and expense and of exciting
trips that smugglers made while hotly
pursued by officers of the law; and the
young folks. listening. wondered if
they. toe, would ever know such con-
ditions. These old-time stories may be
more thrilling than the new. but it is
obvious that the present enforcement
of the prohibitory law, here has never
been exceeded in rigor. The alluring in
nuence of immortality in the Joints"
bar-rooms are beginning to acknowl-
edge defeat: the pocket peddlerS sue
oeed i'll selling practically nothing: and
on the streets of the city. orderly condi-
lions prevail at all times. Several of
the rilmsellers. who have been in bust
ness here for many years, have deter
mined to make no further ATTEMPT to
sell liquor while the present conditions
exist and have expressed their deter
minatIons to the officials. Some of
them have left the city.
Randolph. without doubt, is as dry
as Gardiner. The liquor dealers there
are completely discouraged. one OF
them told Marshal Andrews. yesterday
that with the enforcement deputies

half -pint of WhiSkey in his house, UNI
less he can prove that the stuff is for
legitimate purposes. My place has been
searched again and again. he said
land liquor has been found there, but
Eevcr knew how thorough search
could be made until the last visit of
the deputies at my store. They were
gentiemanly in doing their work and
they were extremely clever. | shall go

RAILROAD ACCOUNTS
Should be Public Enough to Prevent
Law Evasion Says Cong. Townsend,

Chicago, Nov. 90. - Congressman
Chas. E. Townsend of Jackson, Mich,
JOINT father of the Townsend bill,
addressed the members of the Hamil-
Ton Club. last night. on the subject Of
railroad rates and the need OF revised
leSlsiation to prevent discrimination
between shippers. His principal sug-
gestion was that there should be pro-
Vlued a uniform system for handing
faiifoad accounts and that this should
be done with such publicity that 1t
would remove the opportunities for
eFading the law rE
"Comretition practically has been
abolished" said the congressman, land
classifications are fixed by the will and
capfice OF irresponsible agents whose
sa.afles depend upon getting the most
possible for carrying freight"
He spoke of the discrimination which
results from the effort to put water
competition out of business, and of re-
peated requests Of the commission for
power to listen to complaints, and IL
they are found justified, to prescribe
just rate. I.
This is the pending issue" he con-
timed. land such is the proposed re-
iitl. we are IOlU that the commission
cannot assume to fix even a single rate
without disturbing business conditions.
although the same step may be taken
BY traffic men without harm.
THE railroads doubtless will. If such
4 law is passed, oppose it, and make it's
execution difficult; but if it is found to
be constitutional and to CONFER posi-
tive remedial powers upon the commits
sion, l. expect to see the railroads
themselves take up the adjustment OF
rates. Only the unjust rates are aimed
at, ana no unfair rate will De forced
upon the Curriers'"
He declared that many of the evils
which are mentioned in connection with
railroad rates are mere symptoms of
re Tiscas2, Whith itself must be cured
before reef can be secured. Among
thcsr u included the rates for refriger-
alton. which &c called a part of the
transportation service and with it also
nc clasScd terminal track service
Geo. w. kretZinger. attorney for sew
eral railroads in Chicago, was the
other speaker Of the evening.
he declared that if the provisions of
the, Elhins law are made more strin-
gent and then properly enforced. no
other changes in the railroad laws will
