THERESA M. GRAVES.
Died After illness of Two Weeks
Membe of Glass of 1908 of
Middlebury ColIcge.

On April ~ gloom was cast over
the College by the death of Miss Theresa
NJ. Graves of the class of 1908. For
some two weeks Miss Graves had been
suffering from what was thought to be
slight attack of pneumonia from which
she seemed TO be recovering rapidly. The
sad and unexpected crises came on the
night of the Goth Her heart was UNI
able to stand the terrible strain and
about six o'clock Friday morning the
end came, in spite of all that nurses and
physicians could do.
Miss Graves leaves sister and host
of loving friends. The College has in
need lost one of its fairest and noblest
daughters.
After a short service at the house, the
remains were taken to Gloversville, N.
Y, for interment.

One Man Power.

The conditions Of the case have in
deed evolved a peculiar sort of one
man-power in public affairs, and have
drawn into political life familiar
type Of the masterful man. Such is
the party boss, who enjoys power, and
certain measure Of distinction. The
mechanism of government, says a
writer in Atlantic, is so unwieldly that
those who are within cannot control
it; hence there has developed the boss,
who manages the apparatus from with
out. This cannot be done without skill,
shrewdness, enterprise and other such
qualities needed for any career of lead
ership. But it calls also for methods
distasteful to straightforward and
high-minded men. Your boss is indeed
not always so black as he is painted;
there are political machinists entitled
to our respect. But the role is after
all an underhand one, circumventing
of the avowed plan and intent of the
general will. 1t attracts the unscru-
pulous, and even the well-intentioned
man who essays it finds himself almost
inevitably impelled to fight the devil
with fire. Not infrequently a man
who has achieved success as leader
of industry turns to political activity
He then usually becomes the manipu-
lator and master of the party machine,
following almost of necessity the ia
miliar methods of intrigue, bargain,
office-mongering, bribery The able
man of the higher type is not drawn
to such doings, while on the other hand
the competition in the unsavory work
has a demoralizing effect on those who
strive for political power.

Universal blindness is to be humani-
TVS tribute to electricity-the monster
which mans genius has unclaimed.
Possibly in this twentieth century
with mock glory styled the age of
electricity-human eyesight will flicker
out under the influence OF the gigantic

mans delicate physical organism. This
Is the theory expressed by DR.. H. Pres

pert, who is said to be the pioneer of
X-ray therapeutics in the west, was

the persons organism, the quicker ami
easier will he or she be to feel the cleo
trical effects. The eyes, the most deli
cate portion of the human body will
suffer first. DR., Pratt cited the in

stantly affected by electrical currents"
said DR.. Pratt. Almost any person
feels the current pass through his body
when riding on q street car and tho

shock from the light alone but from its
accompanying current. These appar-
emily trivial electrical disturbances,
the use of electric lights and its pres
ence in hundreds of other forms, is the
cause of so much trouble to the eyes.
Eventually the human race will be
blind from the increasing strength and
influence of electricity. Sight will be
the first of our faculties to vanish"

The Youths Companion in referring
to the apparent tendency of the Govern
ment to pick from the West in filling
its Civil Service appointments in Panama
remarks:-''The young man who declines
to undertake work that offers because,
perchance, it may be a little unpleasant
will always be outstripped by the man
who overlooks npleasantnesses in his
eagerneCs to accomplish results"
This is true but the New England bred
man is not of the type that shirks simply
because he does not jump at the oppor
tunity to become canal digger. Men
bred in this section of the country are
not of the sort that may be expected to
withstand the torrid climate of the

Boston HeraId's New BUILDING.

The Boston Herald, for 50 years the corner
stone of so-called Newspaper Row." has
moved uptown, and Tuesday issued its first
edition from its new plant at the junction of
fremont, Mason and Avery streets, opposite
the Common.
Its old plant was inadequate to its needs
and it was virtually impossible to adapt it to
progressive requirements.
In selecting the site for its new plant the
Herald has placed itself in line with the trend
Of progress in Boston. Years ago lower
Washington street represented the heart of
the retail business section and Washington
street was the city's chief artery. As the city
grew and its population expanded, owing to
the convenient methods of rapidtransit the re
tail business section of the city grew beyond
its former limited bounds.
Then came the development OF fremont
street, following upon the building of the
subway, whose chief stations are on the Com
mon, and the removal of the surface tracks
from that thoroughfare. From these and
other causes it has received tremendous i'm
petus as high-ciass retail section. No other
street in Boston is so popular as a pedestrian
route.
The Herald was higly fortunate in its selec-
ton Of site for its new plant. 1t has estab-

~ FACULTY BARS
OUT A POOLROOM
STUDENTS MUST JOURNEY A
MILE IF THEY PLAY.
President Northrop Shuts Down on
Project Long Under the Ban About
the Campus, and License Inspector
Declines to Issue the Necessary Per.
NIT.

There will be no poolroom at so
Fourteenth avenue Sc, and university
students who thought that their long.
cherished dream for pool and billiard
hall near the state university campus
was at last to be realized, must still
walk mile for shot at the ivory
balls. This time it is the university
faculty which is responsible for the
blasted hopes Of the undergraduates.
Several efforts have been made to
establish poolrooms lin the vicinity of
the university. There is no law other
than that prohibiting poolrooms within
500 feet Of the campus, but property
owners on the East Side have been
averse to renting their buildings for
this purpose, and it has come to be an
unwritten law that there shall be no
peolroom near the campus. T.
This week, however, definite plans
for establishing a poolroom material,
lied and building had been rented
before the university authorities learned
of the situation. Application had been
made to License Inspector Longfellow
for a license, and upon looking up the
law the Inspector found that there was
no prohibition of the establishment in
such a place. He thereupon announced
that he would recommend the license
unless objection were made by the fac
ulty. The objection was not long in
coming, as President Northrop declared
himself heartily opposed to a poolroom
near the university. AS result the
license will not be granted.

be stricken from the freshman calen-

the recent ARRAY between Minneapolis
policeman and freshman and sophomore
students is progressing, and altho Dean
