OXFORD AND EDINBURGH.
Lecture on Two Universities by MT.
Hannis Taylor.

There was good attendance at the meet
ing of the Columbian Women of the George
Washington University, held in the west
hall of the university building, corner of
10th and Fl streets northwest yesterday
afternoon at 430 clock, when Mr.. Hannis
Taylor, former minister to Spain, delivered
an address. The subject discussed by Mr..
Taylor was University Life at Oxford and
Edinburgh" He spoke at length and in
detail of the life at oxford. MANY people
believe that the great English university Is
in the main the same that of any of our
colleges, explained Mr.. Taylor 'but when
one looks upon the many different col
leges that comprise Oxford the vast insti-
tuition of learning is fully opened up and
the mind perceives the man paths to
higher knowledge that lead through those
avenues
The speaker named several of the leading
colleges that comprise Oxford, and told of
the many rules and regulations that are en-
forced in their government. The address
was distinct revelation to many and the
description of Christ Church College one OF
the group Of Oxford, teemed with interest.
While abroad Mr.. Taylor was guest for
time at the home of DR.. Freeman, the
English historian, at Oxford, and it was at
that time that he got his insight into the
workings of the great English university.
Mr.. Taylor explained how each college Is
community in itself with governing
powers, and also spoke of the scholarly
people who live within the college limits
From Oxford the speaker journeyed to
Edinburgh to visit the University of Edn-
burgh, which, he said, was formerly the
school of the city, but which gradually
gathered about it the more dignified shades
Of the university.
1T Is here where ones sees the American
idea of the modern university" said the
speaker. Here was where Mr. TAYLOR first
saw the Scotch heather, and yesterday
afternoon he told his audience of the par
ticular beauty of this blooming plant OF
Scotland. which greatly impressed him.
After Mr.. Taylor had concluded his adj
dress an informal tea was held, the an
nouncement being made that after such a
delightful talk of England the occasion
should be concluded by the serving of Eng
lish tea.

Corruption and Bribery
in English Politics
Special Correspondence of The Star.

LONDON, November 80, 1906
English politicians have always boosted
that their elections are less corrupt than
those of America. AS matter OF fact, re-
cent evidence, taken at various elections in
different parts of England, proves that
corruption is just as rampant in the British
isles as anywhere else in the world
The methods of influencing votes may be
slightly different in England; but the fact
that widespread corruption exists cannot
be denied. The very stringent parliament
airy measure known as the corrupt prae-
tees act is practically a dead letter; and
Its operation is SO costly when applied that
1t has little deterrent effect on the buying
and selling of the ballot.
One OF the foremost election agents in
England Mr.. r. w. Gallon, secretary OF
the London Reform Union, a man who
probably knows more about electioneering
methods in England than anyone else. when
seen at his London Office made the fol-
lowing statement with reference to corr
ruption IN English politics:

at heavy cost, running into thousands OF
pounds. was unseated.
There are lots of tips floating about at
every English election: and plenty of THAT
Americans call grating going on. The
fact that regular high-priced judges are
specially appointed to take charge of these
cases shows that the thing exists. I know
personally hundreds of elections in England
where both candidates spent lots of money.
and the most open corruption went on un-
der the eyes of anybody who cared to
see 1t.
ION the whole. might say that an Eng

are slightly different, perhaps.

mouth-where some say system worse
than Tammany's prevails-is undoubtedly
true. I have attended hundreds of elections
all over England, and I know personally
that candidates on both sides use Illegal
methods of obtaining votes. 1t is a singular
phenomenon that there is more corruption
In the English seaport towns than else
where; and especially in the small places.
The reason why corruption does not thrive
SO well in the larger towns is not because
they are better, but because the buying
of votes would be too costly an item.
Our corrupt practices act Is very
cumbersome thing; and anyone who wishes
to challenge an election must first deposit
$1,000. Even where 1t is known that al
most open buying of votes goes on, 1t is
not everyone who is willing to raise the
money to bring the case to trial. Besides
this $4,000, the legal costs are enormous.
! remember when the election of Harry
Marks for st. Georges-in-the-Ea East Ca large
borough of London) was challenged, not
long ago, the legal cost came to $50, 600;
though he was finally unseated.

know you are safe-you know your man;
