OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
What Our Exchanges Have to Say
on Various Topics.
Would Help Northwest.

While not deliberately wishing
any of our neighbors any misfortune,
it is q selfish but practical reflection
that a q~uieter sort of prosperity for
the eastern part of this country
would most probably give a great
impetus to good times in the west,
especially the northwest. 1t is a
matter of easy recollection that Just
such conditions in the eighties drove
hundreds of thousands of persons
from the farms and cities of the east
upon the farms and into the cities
of the west. The decade beginning
in 1880 was marked by violent ups
a general exodus of those who wanted
to make a fresh start, but the history
of st. Paul and Minnesota a one
of practically unbroken progress at
a rapid rate. The population of this
city increased from $1,000 to 1885,
900, and the boom" was SO strong
that it was overdone. Real estate,
in particular, was wonderfully en-
HANGED in price, so much SO that it
had to rest for many years before
it's nominal values were made real.
Though there is no {, ire for such
a boom again, we N look with
entire oomplacency q; the prospect
OF a heavy influx Of S -giers from the
east. That would megA more work
ers to produce wealth FOR the north
west, more people to settle upon the
land and improve it, and more GUS
toners for our retailers and jobbers
to supply. This is not saying that
any serious troubles are to come up
on the east, but, if such should prove
to be the case, it might not be an
unmixed evil to the west, but eve a
positive beneit.-St. Paul Dispatch.

eddy be taken to the q. S. supreme
court for a final ruling.
For n National University.

A Washington correspondent says
that Congress viii probably be as
sailed by a strong lobby of intellece
i'll the coming session. a movement
has been Launched by the National
Association of State Universities TO
have the federal government estab-
lish and maintain at the National
capital a national university modelled
on Lie same lines as the state univer-
school. The idea has also met the
endorsement of the National IIduca-
ticnal association, which appointed a
committee at its convention in Los
Angeles last Spring, to consider and
report on the subject.
Ever since George Washington first
urged the benefit that would accrue
to the nation through the establish
ment of such an educational center,
the question has bobbed up with
greater or less frequency. 1T has had
its champions and it's detractors. The
phase of the question which has prov
en- the most troublesome is the re-
luctance of real friends of the move
ment to mingle politics with the man
agement of such a school. This, they
would be fatal, and they insist up
on the impossibility of keeping pol
itics out.
1t is not generally known that
there Is a committee in the Senate
bearing the title of the Committee
on the University of the United States
senator Hemenway is its chairman,
but as far back as the mind of the
ordinary man runs, there has never
been a meeting. 1t is one of several
committees to be found in botu
houses Of congress, the chief eason
for the existence of which seems to
be their usefulness in providing their
members with a committee room. IL
is before this committee that the lob
by of intellect expects to wage iti
campaign.

state universities are behind the Uni
~versity of the United States cam

stirring times anead for Senator

mittee.-Lincoln Star.

The Cost Of Football.

In 1905 the game of football cost
the lives of fourteen players and in
jured 200 others. That was the worst
record the game has ever made N
this country. Coming after years oil
high fatality lists, it excited a move
Nment for reform which ended in a
general agreement that IL the rules
could not be revised to eliminate
the increasing perils of life and limb,
and IL the worst of the commercial
evils of the game could not be re-
moved, then the game itself would
be banished from our colleges and
high schools. Columbia University
put forth an edict of Punishment, but
most other institutions %contented
themselves with a revision of the
rules, from which much improvement
was* hoped.
That there has been an improve
ment in the moral tone of tho bust
ness management OF, the game Is GER
tain, but the statistics Of casualties
for this year have been the cause OF
great disappointment over the work
ing OF the new rules Of playing. Last
year the deaths were fourteen and
the injured 16O, and this year with
the season not finished, the deaths
a ready number 13 and the injured
1872.
Meantime Columbia is giving coll
leSas a lesson in the possibility Of
prospering without the game. A
committee of the faculty Investigated
last spring the effects of the retire
ment rom tine field of sports, and re-
ported that attendance at the univer-
sitg had grown, students took more
Interest in their studies and that no
loss was observable. Recently the
students have worked up enough In

machinery of genuine politics to COM

with reasonable safety. 1t is true
taat the most fatalities are among
high school boys and other pupils
not in fit physical condition, but the
colleges cannot escape some of the
responsibilities for these deaths since
they furnish the incentive to the non
coalegiate player and since their rules

The Overrulcd objection.

The JOY of Giving.

That philanthropic fellow citizen
of ours, Andrew Carnegie, attained
to the three score and ten years al
lotted to man as his proper span of
life, but the rugged old Scotchman
evidently intends to hold on for a
while longer, as the reports state he
is enjoying a remarkably fine state
of health, which is good news fer
those municipalities who are still
short an up-to-date library building
in their collection of public aditices,
In addition to announcing the fact
that Carnegie had become a sep
t%uagenarian, the dispatches took. the
opportunity to remark on the size
of the steel kings fortune and his
strenuous %endeavors to get rid Of ii
through benevolences in order to
CRAFTY that unusual but laudable
ambition to die poor.
Doubtless Carnegie has enjoyed
himself immensely in the accnmula-
ton of his .'pile," or rather, 1t
wouldsprobably be more to the point,
to say the enjoyment was found in
the successful endeavors Of his mind
and body, the extent of his fortune
represents.
Nevertheless. we feel safe in sur
missing that a greater degree of deep
down-in-the-heart satisfaction has
come to, Andrew Carnegie, through
the medium of his philanthropic ben
efactions, than from IN other sourc
during his tenure of life. The aged
king of the steel mills has found and
Is finding the truth in that priceless
saying, ut is blessed to give
than to receive" Once in a while
some one is found who is inclined
It'd question the philanthropy of his
benevolences, but this is hardly char
table. Indeed the only regrettable
feature involved lies in the fact that
Mr.. Carnegie may be thwarted in his
ambition to die penniless, for his
wealth is accommodating more rapidly
than he can spend 1T. At any rate
1T is our heartfelt wish that ANDY
obtain the finest need of enjoyment
as the result Of his benefactions.

The advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar, one
CT the most popular of cottonwoods,
is chiefly in its greater hardness,
better form and the seemingly SUI
perior quality of its wood, as is
shown in preliminary studies made
by the United States forest service.
1T will be some time before the Nor
way poplar will be available for
widespread planting, since cuttings
OF the true variety are at present
very "a and hard to obtain.
