Three.quarters of a Century

The University of Alabama is cele' brating this week the completion of the seventy-ffth year of it's useful and highly honorable existence. Alabama became a state December IA, 1919, and on December IS, 1920, the legislature passed an act providing for the estab- lishment of the University of Ala bama; but the institution was not ol ened until April IS, 1881. The long line that stretches to President Aber- crombie was begun seventy-fve years ago by the Rev Ava Woods, D. D., while Samuel B. Moore was governor of the state. It was a busy period of development, for within year from the opening of the university the first cotton mill in this state was built, and the first railroad west of the Allegany mountains was laid from Tuscumbia to the Tennessee river, a distance of about two miles.
 The university was thus opened at the beginning of the vast expansive movements of the nineteeth century, and now in the twentieth century when it is full of good works, and full of promise, it celebrates It's sev- enty-fifth anniversary. Scarcely an institution In the country has survived more shocks of war and politics than our own university, and today it stands, as we are all glad to know stronger than ever before, both in it's faculty and in it's equipment. It be- gins the last quarter of its first cen l tury full of hope and full of vigor, prepared to do it's full share in the training of the young men of Alabama for citizenship and practical partici- patton in the care and control of the state.

MANY CASES OF GREAT
 VITALITY IN OLD MEN

zine. and S. F. B. Morse was fifty-three before he convinced the world that his electric telegraph was practicable.
 What is true of science is no Jess true Of literature and art. Very many. if not a majority, of the most memorable achievements in those fields were per formed after the age of forty and not few after the age of sixty had been passed. Among the masterpieces composed by men more than sixty it may suf- flee to mention the "Oresteia" trilogy of Aeschilus, the 'Oedipus Coloneus'' of Sophocles, the 'Iphigenia at Aulis'' and the "Bacchae' of Euripides, the Para disc Regained'' and Samson Asyondstes,,. of Milton. and the second part oN Goethe's Faust"
 Not only, then, in respect of physical endurance such as Weston the pedes4 trian exhibited the other day, but in eyH cry channel of human endeavor sexa- genarians have proved their competence to cope with men of half their age.

Compulsory Education.

Before the Louisiana legislature, HOW in session, has been laid com pulsory attendance school law, design ed originally for use in New Orleans, but which may be fitted to the entire state. It probably will be.
 It is not proposed to apply it in Louisiana beyond twelve weeks, or sixty school days. It is not true that Louisiana or Alabama or any other state is not able to provide twelve weeks of schooling for every educable child of school age. It is not true that 1t would not pay Louisiana or Ala bama or any other state to reduce illiteracy in this way. It is in fact the only way that all educable child ren can be brought into the public schools. This may be paternalistic and socialistic, but it is a sort of pater- nalism and socialism that we need and must have if ignorance is to be overcome
 In Alabama we need not only compulsory law but also a constitu- tional amendment that will enable each school district to have whatever kind of a school it is willing to pay for. Louisiana has the latter, and 1t propose now to secure the former. foot of the list, and Alabama will have to be alert if she escapes becoming the tailender in the list of states ar ranged on the basis of literacy.

Wisconsin and Minnesota are prepar- ing to adopt it. By or before 1910 one half of the states will have accepted the plan, and by or before 1920 all will have done so unless a revulsion in public sentiment occurs, and even the New York Tribune says no sign of such a revulsion appears at present. The new plan will have it's trial, adds the Tribune, and the politicians of our day know they must accept it or rather encounter it.
 The selection of Mir. Davis in Ar kansas and Mir. Taylor in Tennessee establishes nothing except that the will of the principal is different than the will of his agent sitting in a state legislature. A legislature in the ore state would have reelected Senator Berry and in the other Senator Car mack, but it is too early to say that Messrs. Davis and Taylor will prove inefficient in the Senate. Two isolated cases are not sufficient at any rate to turn back the wheels of a great pop ular movement. for the primary sys- tenn reaches beyond United States senators, and it may in the future ex- tend to party nominations on presi- dential tickets.
 No deeper political change has oc- cured in this country since the war than that from the convention and legislative system to direct voting by the people in primaries. It goes to the bottom, especially in the states that have but one white mems party It fits all states, however. excellently and the papers that think they can | reverse public sentiment by citing the action of Arkansas and Tennessee do not appreciate the depth or signifl- canoe of the movement.

FASHIONS IN CRIME.

Former Police Commissioner McAdoo in
 Harper's Weekly.
 Compared with what 1t is today, New York thirty years ago was a mere yil- lage. Crime was then congested in spots: criminals headquarters were as well known as the city hall The old-time sleuth would go down to certain places, mostly south of Fourteenth street. and well known. at least by reputation, to all old New Workers, and get some one to tell him who committed the last job. or probably have the thief himself give up the property. Start the old-timers talking about those dear old joints" and you will give them a pleasant hour. Twenty years ago I stood on the steps of a downtown hotel with celebrated detective. and in the course of an hour he pointed out twenty professional crooks, all specialists. They were as we'll known as the big men in the financial dis trict, and it was considered a privilege to meet them.
 The old veteran burglars, with a dark lantern, a bottle of chloroform and a sponge, half of a candle, a bundle of keys, a big revolver and knife a kit of tools, and a blackjack belong to school entirely different from these peo- pie The old-time burglar survives now, mostly, in suburban places He operates In New Jersey or Long Island, and a;- Jacks the isolated houses; he has to make sure of the dog, and he goes armed as aforetime, prepared for a hard fight and a long chase, if necessary. Then the army of confidence men is constantly chang ing. The old fellows are either in jail or dead, and the new ones are not yet Suf- ficiently known to the police; they have not built up their reputation, as it were. Strange to say, however, the old swind- lers still remain staple goods in the crim- inal market. Advertiser it as you will, the deacon from the mountains of Tennessee or the peaceful villages of Indiana stiu comes on to get his bundle of counter- felt money.

Criminal Neolect.

'I heard Dr. Stagg preach at the First Presbyterian church this morning. and l was struck with one thought he present. ed said a member of that congregation. He said that it was criminal to allow the dust from the streets to be blown into peoples mouths and noses when q little water sprinkled on it would keep 1t down until the rain could come and wash the dust to the ocean.
 q agree with him, and l believe that the entire business portion of the city should be sprinkled sufficiently often to keep the dust down. 1 also believe that those portions of the city where the travel is heaviest and where people pass often should be sprinkled. l have in mind the Twenty-seeond street bridge and it's ap- breaches. The dust on these streets are constantly blown into peoples ears, eyes, noses and mouth because the city does not sprinkle enough. It seems that such important portions of the city as these should be sprinkled often and we'll 1 think that 1t is almost criminal neglect to sprinkle them
 'The dust carries germs and in this manner disease is spread. At this season of the year it is especially desirous that there should be very little dust

A WALK WITH ROOSEFELT.
French Ambassador His Companion on
 Seven Mile Trip.

Washington Special to the New York
 Sun.
 President Roosevelt varied his recent daily exercise of horseback riding and tennis by going out for a long walk Fri day with several companions. When the President takes an unusually long walk he first drives out into the country for exercise at long distance from the White House.
 He left the White House shortly after 3 o'clock Friday in an automobile owned and driven by Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon. NJ. Jusserand the French ambassador; Phil Stewart of Col orado, who has accompanied Mir. Roose- welt on some of his western hunting trips and two other friends of the Pres ident followed the automobile in the ann ba ssador's carriage. The party drove out through Georgetown and along the con- duit road to the vicinity of Cabin John Bridge, where they alighted, dismissed the vehicles and started to walk back to- ward Washington, cross country.
 Ambassador Jusserand has been in Washington long enough to become &C., quainted with MT. Roosevelt's habits, and although he Is of smaller stature than the President, and of somewhat slender physique. he seemed to stand the walk we'll Cabin John Bridge is about seven miles from Washington. The President and his companions walked back as far as Georgetown, where carriages were waiting to bring them to the White House They returned about o'clock, dusty from their long walk.

Primary Problems.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal is disgruntled over the defeat of Sena- tor Carmack and the victory of ex- Governor Bob Taylor, and it proceeds to denounce primaries, on the ground that they are subject to ballot-box Juggling. So they are, but when trick sters rob the people of their votes, some of the people are apt to find out what is going on at least some of the time. In conventions the people do which side is voted down, for both represent the selfish and the design. ing.
 The Commercial-Appeal is out of touch with the trend of political events. The primary is gaining ground constantly. At special session of the Illinois legislature, called by Gov ernor Deneen for that purpose, a com pulsory primary election law has just been adopted No name can go on the official ballot unless that name had been selected by a party in a primary. All primaries are to be held on the last Saturday of August. The trouble with the Illinois law is that the primaries select delegates and the delegates meet and select candidates. In the course of time the Illinois voter will gain direct voting, which is at present denied him.
 The Louisiana legislature is now in session, and it is said to be almost unanimous in favor of the passage of a compulsory primary law. Louisiana will no doubt provide for direct voting in primaries and for a secret ballot. Primaries will become obligatory upon all parties that cast thirty per cent of the total vote at the previous cleo tion. It is believed, too, that the new bill will designate the manner in which political committees are to be selected. An admirable and thorough ly modern primary bill is anticipated in Louisiana, one that will serve per. haps as model in other states.

GOVERNMENT BY NOVEL.
pm the New York Sun

From the New York Sun I saw the future in a dream, And caught the governmental scheme; There was no Senate, House or Bench, Forms old and musty to intrench. If postage stamps declined to stick, If crops were poor or graft was slick, The citizen who wished reform Sat down and wrote novel warm. The nations Chief Executive A million per received to live; The only thing he had to do Was just to read those novels through. And so they came in every style, Just eighty million in the pile. While, as he turned each thrilling page.
 He issued dictums great and sage. And last they poured in such a tide The President for mercy cried, And then a patriot uprose
 (His name my dream did not disclose). Quoth he: ''To stop this mournful sight A novel intend to write"
 He did; it was the very worst
 That ever good white paper cursed. At that the patient people turned And for the olden order yearned
 Establishing with great content The Fathers ancient government

CHEERFUL DAN IS DEAD.
He Was a Notable lrishnan and Al.
 ways Loyal to Ireland.

From the New York Sun.
 Cheerful Dan Is dead. Dan the joker, smiling old Danny Whalen, known to all good Americans who visit New York to get steamed and scrubbed, and the per sonal attendant of a host of distinguished New Workers. Dan had wielded the brush at the Turkish bath en Lafayette place since 1878. He was big hearted Irishman, who delighted in diving and parrying wit with such men as Richard Croker. Bourke Cochran and many others. In the swimming tank Dan. with his bald, shining head. his powerful torso and his thin legs of very old man, was not un- like some jolly batrachian But get him yarn spinning and he had few equals. His age was legendary. He might have been so, though he didn't look 70. He had a droll habit of asserting that his doctor allowed him only three drinks day with the proviso that they were to be ordered by some one else His inevitable formula of acceptance was:
 '.I'm sorry I'll have to say yes' It was the habit of MT. Croker to go to the booths on election days. there to receive news of the returns Then it was he de- lighted in bantering Dan. He always got his answer.
 Dan, there's one thing in America Ireland never saw-that's the possum."
 No possums in Ireland" quoth Dan. Faith I've seem them in many hot house over there" When Holsters were declared to be strangers in Ireland Dan would become periodically indignant.
 Why I've seen the coasts red with them," he asserted. He always won his drink. He must have been at least 75. and for the last few weeks had been ailing. Yet he wouId not yield his post He wished to die in harness. He winked at his doctor, telling him just before he died that he had hoped to see another heir Good-by, old Dan, cheerful Dan. No more will you hum in your inimitable brogue:
 Come wan. come awl and have ball ! Of dear Old Mountain Dew.

BURTON WILL BE EXPELLED.
Senate Committee to Recommend Ac-
 tion Unless He Resigns.

Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune. Unless Senator Joseph R. Burton of
 Kansas, who stands convicted of a crime
 and has been sentenced to term of im-
 prisonment and to pay a fine, resigns his
 seat in the Senate within one week ae- ton will be taken,t have him expelled from that body.
 Notice to that effect will be served on
 Burton by members of the committee on privileges and elections. which considered his case today. He will have until next
 Friday to make up his mind On that day the committee will meet with the intention of reporting a resolution of ex- pulsion if Burton does not get out.
 It came out at the meeting of the com
 mittee today that President Roosevelt
 of the Senate or be expelled. and that he wanted the committee to take action at once
 Burton's proposal that, provided no &C., ton were taken on his case in the mean.
 time, he would resign his seat if the supreme court denied the application for a rehearing, was brought to the com mittees attention at today's meeting but was rejected Immediately. Senator For aker and Senator Knox were particular ly insistent that some action should be taken at once against Burton unless he
 voluntarily retired from the Senate.
 It was evident from the views ex changed that the committee was unani-
 mously in favor of ridding the Senate of
 a convicted criminal. There was some
 mention made of the political condition
 in Kansas, which, from a republican
 standpoint, would create considerable em-
 barrassment if Burton retired or were forced out at this time, but 1t made no impression upon this committee.
 The consideration of Burtons case was l based on a resolution proposed by Sem
 ator Hale on Tuesday, directing the com mittee on privileges and elections to re-
 port upon the effect of the supreme
 courts decision upon Burton's status as a senator. Owing to the fact that five members of the committee were absent 1t was determined to take no action on this reso- lution until the next meeting of the com
 mittee, which will be held one week from today In the meantime, according to the understanding reached, Burton will | be informed that if he does not resign | before that meeting a resolution for his expulsion will be reported. The adoption l of such a resolution Is uncertain.
 Burtons attitude has disgusted many senators. They believe he is endeavoring | to retain his seat in order to get his
 salary as a senator Should the Senate fall to expel him before adjournment he
 would reserve salary enough by the time | Congress assembled and was able to take
 that action. to pay the fine of $26o0 which
 was imposed as part of his punishment. Senators are determined 10 prevent any 1 condition of that sort. There is no ques-
 ton of par-tisanship involved in the Bur | ton case

A DISTINGUISHED YOUNG
 ARTIST STRANGELY SLAIN

does not appear to have been opened. Nc drawers or boxes had been tempered with Nothing was missing. Indeed. noth- ing was kept in the house that would be likely to tempt thieves.
 The theory which is at present held for lack of a more definite one, is that Wake ly fell an unintended victim to an at- tempt to rob the branch of the London and County bank, which adjoins the house in which his studio was located Maybe the thief secreted himself on the premises in the daytime used dupli- cate key, prepared to enter the bank by piercing the wall at the end of the pas sage where the body was found, which separates the two buildings.
 If this is so the artist probably heard the thief's movements after undressing and opened the studio door to investigate, surprising the burglar, who secured his own safety by killing the only witness of his intended crime. But why the body was covered with bedclothes or why, the witness being killed, the intruder did not execute, his supposed purpose to pierce the wall cannot be guessed
 Another branch of the London and County bank of St. James street was robbed by burglars last week They en- tered with duplicate keys, after which they pierced the wall of the strong room, secured nearly a1OOO and got away without leaving a clue. It would be well known that the house in which the studio Is located would ordinarily be unoccupied at night, and the probability of the fore going suggested explanation is regarded as strong.
 post-mortem examination led to the conclusion that although six serious wounds were inflicted. Wakely was killed by the first one. the others being given after he had fallen. to make sure that he was dead. There was no sign of a strug- gle It was evident that he had been felled before he was able to attempt to defend himself.
 MT. Wakelys picture at the current Academy exhibition is called The Sleep ing Beauty" It is his greatest success. and is hung on the line in the most im- portant room.

Special Dispatch to the New York Sun. N ONDON, May 24.-Archlbald Wake IO ly, rising artist. who was an
 - exhibitor at the Royal Academy, was found dead this morning in the house In which he had his studio in Monmouth road, Bayswater. The indlca- tions are that he was murdered, but the circumstances of the affair are alto gether mysterious.
 MT. Wakely, who was under 30 years of age. spent Wednesday evening at the house of his parents, which Is about two miles from his studio. He left at 10 o'clock, saying that he would sleep in the studio, which he occasionally did when he wished to begin work early in the morning. The house in which the studio is located is a three-story build ing, tenanted by architects and artists Nobody slept there except MT. Wakely who occasionally used a campbed in his studio.
 About o'clock this morning the care taker, Mrs. Mercer, went to clean the rooms. She went first to the studio of Chevalier, an artist who lived on the same floor as Wakely. She found every thing in it's usual condition. Everything was all right also in Wakely's studio but on passing into the passage leading from the studio to the lavatory she found Wakely lying dead, with his head bat tered in.
 Some bedclothes were spread loosely over the body, which was attired in pa jamas and slippers. The wall was smear ed with blood. a quantity of which was also on the floor.
 These are all the facts that are known. Wakely is not known to have had an enemy. He was very cheerful when he bade goodnight to his parents. The police have closely examined everything in the studio, where they found numerous photo- graphs.
 No finger prints could be found There was no weapon in the place and nothing else to afford the slightest clue to the perpetrator of the crime. There appears to be no evidence whatever that the doors or windows were forced, and the skylieht
