To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: 1t is
fortunate that in defence Of the parks you
have taken up the oudgels against those
usually respectable citizens who are fast
becoming habitual vandals through their
thoughtless depredations.
But does not some responsibility for this
vicious tendency lie outside the parks. In the
non-enforcement by the Police Depart ment
OF the ordinances against ~littering the steets
with rubbish-especially newspapers?
Citizens who ought to set a better example
have lost that feeling Of civic pride which.
inspired by the administration Of the Street
Department by the late Colonel WarinR and
assisted by the enforcement Of the ordinances,
gave us a season OF reform In this respect.
IL may well be that the public sentiment
aroused by the enforcement Of the laws
against littering the streets would not only
make it easier to protect the parks but might
even spread and grow until our street PAYERS
and street cleaners were inspired to do their
work. T.

A Good Natured Correction by Mr.. How

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: have
just found In the actual Sunday issue Of your
paper which was otherwise giving me great
pleasure the following paragraph:
William Dean Howells. the novelist, has made
his entry into politics, he tells his friends. He
began II q few evenings ago by saying my choice
for the next PRECEDENT is Hughes. II looks az II
Roosevelt wanted Taft TO succeed him. Ohio has
produced Grant and Taft. Sheridan and Mckinley,
and some Others, but ] am for Hughes" Mr.. How
ellis was born at Martins Ferry, Ohio. while Gen
eral Philip Henry Sheridan. was born In Albany.
N. Y. Perhaps Mr.. Hovells meant william Te-
cumseh Sherman. who was born al Lancaster,
Ohio.
Will you allow me to say hat / have never
expressed the Pr esidentlal preference here
ascribed to me? May / add the hope that the
rather shambling commonplace which ac-
company the misstatement will not seem to
your readers quite In my manner? / had not
thought Of alarming the country by telling
my friends that ! had made my entry into
politics.. but II ] had contemplated a move
ment so seismic | should hardly have begun
by supporting the claims OF Governor Hughes
against the illustrious dead OF Ohio, as we'll
as the very living statesman here grouped
with them.
Concerning a matter Of real public impor-
lance. ] beg 10 remind your para grapher that
General Sheridan had three native States to
choose from. but decided in favor Of Somer-
set, Perry county, Ohio, against anything
Massachusetts or New York had to offer: and
! never heard that he regretted his decision.
General Sherman was indeed born only at
Lancaster. Ohio, and like myself, lin this at
least was without General Sheridan's embar-
raising riches in respect Of birthplaces,
W. d. HowELLs.

aoLp GENERAL KE1EARE.n
GFattncatsOn Over Justice Brewers Opinion
as to Limitation OF Federal Power.


To THE EprToR OF THE sUS-Str: ] have
reed Nth the greatest satisfaction your edi-
| toriai treatment OF the irrigation cases before
the Supreme Court OF the United States, and
especially your references 10 and applications
Of Justice Brewers restatement OF the con-
stitutional definition Of enumerated national
powers. 1t makes me feel that there are
limits to within, ediot and decree. and that we
still have q Constitution.
As understand the Tenth Amendment
II lie Intended 10 apply to and extend over
every part Of the Constitution. and that every
clause OF the instrument Ia meant TO be READ
In the light>of the mandate that all powers
not herein granted " . . are reserved TO
the States or to the people" If he understand
ing be correct. then 1t ls intended also to limit
the power Of the general Government to ex-
pand indefinitely It's own branches and de-
pArtments. and that they should be created
only for the purpose OF carrying out the OK
pressly granted powers.
II so much be conceded OF taken to be COR
rect. can you tell me where In the Constitu.
ton 10 conveyed q grant Of authority to build
up q big Department OF Agriculture with the
frank-and Tank-soclalistio purpose OF "bene-
htlng the farmer'i Has the point ever been
adjudicated by our Supreme Courtf
II general powers OF government can be
utilized for the benefit Of q class, even the
largest in the realm. the producers OF bread
stuffs. then why not a Bakers Department
and a Secretary OF the Breadmakers' Depart
ment with q seat In the Cabinet? Surely
the makers OF bread are quite as important ss
the raisers OF wheat! And while We are con-
sidering the bakers let us not FORGE the other
members Of the historic trinity, the butcher
and candlestIck maker; let's give 'em all seats
In the Most Strenuous Cabinet In the Solar
System.
Is 1t a mere coincidence, or what would
you call II, that the chief Of the Grain Raisers'
Department In the Most Strenuous Cabinet,
Farmer James Wilson, was shown up a few
days ago as being behind the times a trifie OF
twenty years? In your paper Of to-day one
Of your Washington specials says that he ad-
vised the Kansas people to raise turkey red
wheat in order to get ahead OF the green
bugs, q variety they could not kill as easily
as the others, II at all. "Old Alfalfa" Coburn
th%eTeupon showed that the Kansas people
had been doing that very thing for the butt

But what's a twenty year mistake compared
with the General Welfare. the piece de resist
ance OF all true Socialists? d. g..

Filipino students Abroad.

The Philippine Reriew is a %bi-monthly
magazine published in Berkeley, Cal, and
edited, we infer, entirely by Filipino
students. In Its May issue the maya
zine prints the names of more than 800
Filipinos, young womSn as well as young
men, now studying in this country and
abroad. About rs per cent. Of the num-
Der are scattered throughout the United
States; about 40 are in England and
about % in japan, Austria, Italy, Spain,
France, Germany, Belgium and Switzer-
land have from one TO four each.
Some are obtaining a general educa-
ton and others are specializing. There.
are students Of law, OF medicine, COM
merce. agriculture, engineering, cleo
tricity and art. The islands are repre-
scented In agricultural schools and In
State normal schools, In high schools,

what Will Our College Graduates Doc

At this a when innumerable uni
versities and colleges are holding their
commencement exercises and sending
forth into the world tens of thousands of
graduates it is a matter Of some inter
eet 10 inquire what these young men
mean to do. Fifty years ago the ques"
tlon could have been answered easily.
At that date with scarcely an exception
the new hedged possessors of A. B. diplo-
mas were ~avowedly destined for one
OF the so-called liberal professions, then
limited to three, namely, theology, law
and medicine. To-day conditions are
widely different.
The returns from the classes which
have graduated or are TO graduate this
month are not yet, of course, forthcom-
ing, but their purport can no doubt be
estimated with a close approach to accu-
racy from the figures collected by the
Commissioner OF Education for the year
ended June 80, 1905. These data have
been drawn from 619 institutions having
more or less p~retensions to academic
distinction. During the year named
there we're no fewer than 81, lei men and
3t,2t3 women undergraduate or resi-
dent graduate students in all the uni
versities, colleges, scientific schools and
technical schools Of a high grade in the
United States. So, far al male gradu-
ates are concerned, light oil the work
which the graduates intended to do
may be gained from the proportions
OF them recorded as having entered
professional schools. There were in
1905 about 400 men enrolled in the
theological seminsries; even this num-
bar wal smaller than that recorded
twenty-five years before, although dur
ing the period the population Of the
United States had signally increased.
The inference is justified that the ratio
Of the number Of clergymen to the total
population had largely declined.
A comparison Of the Federal Census
reports for the years 1880 and 1900 shows
also thatalthough the number Of students
in law schools and medical schools was
materially expanded during the last two
decades Of the nineteenth century, yet
the number OF practising lawyers and
physicians actually fell off. In 1880, for
example. thsre was one physician to every
$40 human beings; twenty years later
there was only one physician to every
555 souls. again, in 1861 there was one
practising lawyer 10 every 6s5 inhabi-
tants, but In 1900 there was only one to
every 49,. The deduction is obvious,
that many graduates desired to acquire
a rudimpntary knowledge Of law or
Of medicine, but for one reason or
another did not engage subsequently
in the active pursuit Of these pro-
LESSONS. We should have liked b see
authoritative data exhibiting the in
crease during the period under review
Of university graduates who have en-.

In Summer Time.

II the calendar said it was January
and the temperature was as of a month
experienced New Workers would
know that summer was on hand, Mon
day a crowd Of idle persons beholding
q man Of advanced years and foreign
appearance walking with a small child
on Central Park West decided that he
was a kidnapper and surrounded him.
They threatened to take the child from
him, and one or two bold spirits our
selled an immediate hanging to punish
him Atty for his crime. or course the
man was not a kidnapper-he was only
a grandfather strolling with his child's
child. AT another season he would not
have been annoyed,
While this splendid exhibition Of good
sense was being given on one side of
the town, another crowd of perspiring
citizens and residents was enjoying
itself with a demonstration against a
street car motorman on the other side
Of Central Park. The motorman had
wandered in front of his car, or all
the persons who knew Of the accident
it 10 improbable that any except the
family Of the infant felt the horror and
sorrow ofIthe thing as did this street car
man; nevertheless the meaningless cry
Of Lynch HIM" was raised. A police
man and a nightstick ended the diver
sion, az is customary. 1t was merely
a hot weather exhibition of energy on
the part of the crowd.
Some psychologist should explain the
change that comes owe large numbers
OF New Workers as June passes and
July draws near. For eight or nine
months these citizens behave with COM
mendable self-restraint and close ap-
proach to human intelligence. For three
or four months in each year they act
az IL their reason had been overwhelmed.
In August an incident that would pass In
noticed in December will cause a sensa-
ton; in July a riot may be provoked by
happenings that in October would cause
no comment. Are there then two New
Workers, the one e%nwrapped in his. own
thought. careless Of his neighbors, com
Portable to get along with, and the other

sometimes known al Quitting in?
