Japan's gift of s75,OOO,OOO to the
soldiers and sailors who successfully
fought her battles in the war with Russia
furnishes text for editorials contrasting
this act with that of the United States in
some specific cases where a special
service by soldiers or sailors of our
country was allowed TO go without
special recognition. But as long as our
pension payments aggregate over a
quarter of the entire revenue Of the
country, as they do now, We do not need
TO be deeply concerned over the ingrati-
tude of the republic. Probably this
SO, 000, 600, which is little more than
half the annual expenditure of the
United States for pensions, will practi-
cally take the place of pensions for the
Japanese soldiers, and after that is paid
over, the recipients, in whatever physical
condition the service may have left
them, Will have to shift for themselves.

Emphasis is laid in this fight on the

TALKED TO WHITMAN STUDENTS
J. p. Cogdon, a Civil Engineer, Gives
Some Good Advice to
Them.

why a Young Man Who Intends to
Became an Engineer Should Take
Classical Course" was the subject of
short talk given in the Whitman
chapel this morning by ]. P. Congdon,
constructing engineer for the Oregon
Short Line.
The first advantage of the classics,
presented by Mr.. Congdon was the fact
that they make for culture, meaning
lection. He said a course concentrates
the energies entirely on one line of
thought, which is intended to be used
in the future to earn a living; the
classical also gives the broad founda
ton on which the technical may be
built. The tendency of the last gen.
Grafton has been in specializing to
question haw far can an action be
carried without coming into conflict
with the civil law, instead of con-
sidering whether a thing is right in &C
cordance with the moral law, he said.
The second advantage of the classi-
cal course is that it teaches the person
to do something which he does not
like. The student takes the studies
that are prescribed whether they are
enjoyed Or not. The speaker said that
he had had many men just out of
technical school under him who failed
because they could not do the things
they did not like.
Finally, he said, the classical stu
dent learns to do things systema tically
and accurately; he gets the ability to
do a large amount of work without
falling behind. There are same few
men VINO cannot afford to spend an ex-
ira four years at college, but the ma
jority can we'll give up the time and
means. There is no reason why men
should have to go into business at %
and be wrecks at 40 The man who
gets his foundation and builds his
mouse afterwards is the one who will
lcceed in the end
