the Bodleian librarian. who raised $4,000 to secure

asked advice about II at the British Museum: he
was recommended to have II nicely repaired and
bound In red morocco. II that had been done the
Identity Of the book would have vanished. Then
came q very funny story indeed. The calf bind
ing was a poor one. with very little ornament. and
q good deal the worse for wear. Mr.. MADAM, a
sub. librarian, thought II was the original binding.
and asked the opinion of Mr.. Gibson. who was an
authority on the subject. Mr., Gibson noticed at
the head and tail OF the back Of the volume a rather
udImentary form Of ornament described as
Matching" consisting Of simple diagonal lines
enclosed by double parallel lines. which he had
observed TO be a distinctive feature OF common
oxford bindings In the latter part Of the sixteenth
and the early part OF the seventeenth century. and
pronounced the binding to be contemporary Oxford
work. It was also noticed that the book bore
marks Of having been chained.
These points suggested the possibility thai the
book might be the copy which had come 10 the
Bodleian in 1923. which appeared In the supple
mentary catalogue Of 1855. but not In the catalogue
of 1874, having probably been sold according to
the rule laid down by Bodley) as a surplus book
on the appearance In 1854 Of the third folio. which
would be regarded as a more complete edition.

Mr.. Gibson had printed from the Bodlelan register

In all the volumes but the -four Of them. of which
Mr.. Turbutt's Shakespeare was one. had their
boards lined with waste paper taken from the same
book, a volume printed at Deventer In the fifteenth
century. II was thus evident that the Shake

Luxury in tho College.

There Is much sound sense in the
optimistic declaration by President AR
THUR T. HADLEY Of Yale University in
Harper's Monthlv concerning the effects
Of wealth on the modern college under
graduate. His words should reassure
the "old graduate Of fifty years ago to
whom they are addressed and may pos
sibly comfort twentieth century fathers
who have TO foot the bills.
DR.. HADLEY has outgrown the old
tradition OF. the Church, according to
which poverty was counted TO be, on
the whole. a virtue; the possession Of
wealth, on the whole, a vice. He finds
that at Yale, at least, the division between
the sheep and the goats cannot be made
by that standard. Two-thirds OF the
boys that 60 to Yale are good boys and
stay good, and that proportion holds,
we are sure, for all the colleges. The
other third consists Of the weak and the
selfish, with a small proportion Of the
vicious. Unfortunately, here are gath
cred together both poor and rich; though
DR.. HADLEY is inclined to attribute moro
selfshness to the former and moro weak
ness to the latter.
Strangely enough, President HADLEY
finds that much more serious moral
wrong exists among graduate STU
dents and those in the professional
schools than among the undergraduates.
Whether this ls due to their being older
or to their having taken a bigger bite Of
the apple Of knowledge, he does not say.
Luxury, he admits, has greatly in
creased. The one form, however, that
appeals chiefly to the undergraduate is
that he can wash freely, which his grand
father did not and his father could not
do, in college, at least. The democratic
feeling is in no danger, and will not
be 80 long as students care for ath-
letics. The evils Of athletics DR.. HADLEY
touches upon. but he puts emphasis on
the great good they do in giving boys
ideals outside of themselves.
The mixture of rich and poor Is a
good thing for both, and especially for
the rich, who form some idea Of the real
world and of the uses to which they may
put their wealth. 1t is natural, perhaps,
that DIR. HADLEY should rejoice in the
increasing number of wealthy youths
who are studying politics.
II anybody is really alarmed at the
revival Of the cry that the rich are spoil
ing the colleges, President HADLEY's
article should quiet him. A question he
does not touch, but on which we should
like to hear an opinion from him or some
other competent authority, is what effect
the rebuilding Of the great universities
on a more ornamental il not e%xtravagant
scale will have on students and teachers
alike.

To THR EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir; The
untimely death OF Lady Curzon recalls
the death Of Lady Canning In December.

the viceroy Of India expired at Calcutta.
The American wife Of the ex-viceroy OF
India seems to have Possessed gifts OF similar

Second Earl Granville just published by

/ observe that in some Of our American
papers Lady Curzon has been referred to
az the ex-vicereine Of India. There Is no
such title "a Vicereine. The Viceroy OF
India occupies a rank corresponding to
that Of the King Emperor and receives an
imperial salute Of 10l guns. He ranks over
above the Prince Of Wales within the limits
Of British India. The wife Of the Viceroy
Of India enjoys the privilege OF being 7 n
first lady of tho land only when she 10 ac-

she merely holds her husbands rank in h
peerage. Az a Major-General command

the Duchess OF Connaught socially 90

Guilty experienced in Great Britain BY the
wife Of the Archbishop Of Canterbury, and

but gradually the tact Of the gifted Ameri-

the situation. There have been many
ladies Of grace and beauty who have been
wives Of the Viceroys Of India, as, for In
stance, Lady Mayo, whose terrible lot 1t
was to be with her husband when he fell
by the hand Of an Afghan assassin; Lady
Lytton, whose remarkable gifts enabled
her to pilot society at Simla and Cal

Lotteries In ENGLAND,

From the London Evening Standard.
The story that a E2o,oo lottery prize remains
unclaimed In Paris must excite the acQuisitive in.
stinct of gamblers In this country. the more so
from the fact that tickets for the draw were sold
In England. We preserve In this country lasting
memorials Of our own lottery promoting days.
As every schoolboy knows. the British Museum
had Its Inception In a lottery promoted TO purchase
a collection destined to form the nucleus OF our
great national treasure store. The hrst West.
minister Bridge owed some OF It's funds to a lottery;
two or three sums for supplying London With
water proceeded from the same source. while mora
than one imperial venture was financed In like
manner. Where the principle was bad II is not
surprising that the details were often discreditab!e.
Although the Archbishop Of Canterbury. the Lord
Chancellor and the Speaker were responsible for
the management OF the lottery which furnished
funds for the acquisition OF the Cottonian and
Sloane collections, gross frauds were perpetrated
In connection with It. and one man was nned Ti 900
for his manipulation of the tickets.

The Farmers Opportunity.

Many persons are to-day seriously
unequal distribution of wealth. They
labor under the delusion that a few
men hold nearly all the wealth Of the
country, and many a scheme is devised
for taking from those who have and
giving to those who have not.
Some advocates Of a more evenly
balanced distribution content them
selves with complaint and ~denunciation
of the present conditions. This Is about
as sensible and effective as scolding the
east wind. Others propose a closer
equality Of distribution by means Of
national legislation, Federal control OF
corporate and individual activities, Fed
eral limitation of individual possessions,
and Federal regulation of the methods
by which private fortunes are acquired.
Labor goes about the business Of equali-
cation by demands and strikes for higher
wages, regardless of the fact that such
increase as may be secured is not at all
a step toward a more equal distribution.
Whatever may be thus gained by carpen-
tiers, bricklayers or factory hands comes
in much the greater part from the pockets
of those whose income is about the same
as their own.
In n branch Of productive industry
an important individual gain is possible
through addition to what is called the
common store" rather than through at
tempt to seize a larger share of that store.
Somewhat more than one-third OF all the
Americans engaged in gainful ocoupa-
tions live on and make their living from
the nearly 100000 farms of the United
States. Because of ignorant and careless
farm methods the more than 400, 900, 900
acres Of improved lands, that is. land
which either is or might be under actual
and immediate cultivation, produce little
mole than one-half of what they might
under intelligent, systematic methods.
The farmer should be able to increase
his own wealth without waiting for the
Government to find some Hay to dodge
the Constitution and give him more by
limiting the income and the possessions
of some one else.

Annexation.

The spectacle Of a Congress cam
paign mainly directed from the seat OF
Executive power would be 9 novelty In
American politics. There Is nothing In
the Constitution, however, which pre-
vents the President of the United States
from assuming the entire care and re-
sponsibility for the maintenance OF his
party's majority in the House Of Repre-
sentatives. II other Presidents have not
talen upon themselves this extra work
It Is probably because they have never
thought of 1t, or, thinking Of it, have not
regarded it as necessary.
