IL his recent Phi Beta Kappa orallOn
AT Columbia, Charles Francis Adams, the
distinguished Harvard alumnus and
oyerseer, advocated the division OF his
alma mater and other big universities and
colleges into number of small colleges
or groups, each under master who
could be in personal contact with every
student, find out his aptitudes and de-
fciencies, and suggest or prescribe his
course of study. He says that he has
come TO regard the elective system in its
present form of development as mis-
chevious fad aud denies that The average
youth of Is has any well defined or clear
ly developed sptitudes. 10 his judgment
a college education should seek to cult
yate all the sides OF the mind, 80 that
the intellectual, like the physical athlete,
should be evenly developed. Most men
of mature judgment will concur 10 Me-
Adams's conclusions on this subject.

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE ~, 1906

THE meat scandals have brought re
proach upon this country 10 the eyes OF
the other nations OF the world. When
some American canned beef was served
at a dinner Tuesday to the Royal Fnsl-
liers near London the soldiers refused to
eat it. some going without dinner and
some buying meals elsewhere. Great
indigestion was expressed in this and
other regiments at receiving rations OF
this character after the recent disclosures
of American packing house methods.
The foreign consuls of several European
governments have been instructed to in
vestigste personally the conditions OF
mea. packing at Chicago and other
American centres of the meat industry.
Expressions of opinion in England and
throughout Europe continue to be OF the
bitterest character in dealing with the
packing house revelations. The senti-
ment is that nothing will restore conf
dence in American meat products until
the men responsible for existing condi-
tons are actually sent to prison. The
Spectator says the two worlds have been
shocked and inlurisled, and that the
Chicago packing houses "aPPear to com
bine pretty we'll all the characteristic
evils which degrade our civilization. ."
Never before has American commercial
honor been so attacked abroad and the
American people so criticised for neg
lecting their primary public duties.

view of the recent contest 10 his own
State. Iowa, and as the presumpllSe
mouthpiece OF the administrations the
Secrelary's strong advocacy OF the slsnd'
tat policy WAS interesting and may be
supposed to represent President Roose-
yels present policy. Secretary Sha"
devoted practically his entire speech to
a defense of the protective tariff policy
and took strong ground as a stand pat
Ter. Going back to the election OF 1872
aud the defeat of the republican party,
he rehearsed the old-familiar story OF
the alleged calsmities OF the Cleveland
administration, and thus worked down
to the tariff question as it exists iod"y.

been saying about "the great captains
of industry" and "the strong and force
full men upon whom the success of BUSH
ness operations inevitably rests" They
gleefully q1oted his writings and speech
es to the effect that antsgonism to trusts
is "wholly without warrant. 10 all
this, they said, he was conservative.

sort OF talk with his muck rake speech,

A GREAT PLAY.
1.-THE Vanderbilt Cup" to Be at
~ Junction City, Nov. 80.

SuHCbhVH OAtyS NVVs OVs
Sandwiched in between earlier
forms Of speech, comes the newest
and latest forms Of human expression,
the gasoline language, and in these
days and times to acknowledge an un-
familiarity with 1t, is to argue oneself
woefully behind and non-progressive.
THE Vanderbilt Cup" the great
automobile comedy-drama, which
comes to the Junction City opera
house, Friday, Nov. so, is said to be
liberal education In motorism. II Is
play built entirely upon motor cars
and the ''swell mob" who, at present,
almost live In their magnificent tour
ing cars. The plot hinges upon the
great race on Long Island for the cup
presented by w. x. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
and brings in many delightful resorts
in and about New York. One scene
takes place in the famous woman's
hotel. The MajOrie Wellington, where,
save for the clerk, none but women
are admitted or employed.
The stage settings are said to be
magnificent, and the dancing very
novel. Among the new song hits are
my Houseboat Beau" "My Little
Chauffeur" Somewhere in the
World. and The Light That Lies
IN Girlish Eyes"
The great sensation the cup race.
Is the most talked Of effect In the
theatrical world. Two 90 horse
power racing cars are driven at high
speed across the stage, TO the accom-
paniment Of detOnstions, smashing
exhausts. and ali the dust and noise
and excitement which marks q real
race.
The same magni6oenoe Of scenic
equipment. which marked the New
York and Chicago runs, IL promised
for this presentation.
The cast numbers sixty people,
nearly al Of whom Wsrs In ths
original production.
