What CoIIeue Men Should Be.

The college graduate of these days
has busy times ahead If he lives up to
the expectations of the men at the
head of our big Institutions of learn
ing. One of the magazines has brief
statements from dozen Of these col
lcge presidents as to what the typical
American college graduate is and it
will he well for the country and for
humanity if they are right in their esti-
mate. These statements touch in
every case the note of social service
They contrast the narrower aims of
college training with the broader aims
and give special emphasis to the lat
ter. President Eliot of Harvard wants
men vino aspire through efficiency to
serve well their fellow men" Prcsi-
dent Faunce of Brown thinks that
Education should release man from
his native selfishness and make him a
cooperating member Of the social
body" According to President Finley
of the College of the City of New York
the college is under obligation to
make men who will, SO far as their
abilities allow, cmbOdy and express the
best aspirations of the race" PreSi-
dent Wilson of Princeton seeks men
"whCse eyes have become accustomed
to being lifted to a general view Of the
world ana a general comprehension of
TIMER duty in it," 'Men who will use
their brains for the benefit of the pub
lie" are demanded by President Had
ley of Yale. and lie defines public spirit
as readiness to work for national
ends instead Of individual ones" Ac-
cording to President Jordan of Leland
stanford college training should "give
the greatest abundance of life and the
greatest individual and social ell
cheney" And 50 with the others.
These are net platitudcs. They are
ideals based directly on the need of the |
times. They are the actual ideals of |
the colleges, and, more than that, they |
are the ideals the colleges must retain |
iH order to preserve their usefulness. |
For by their results in social service |
the colleges will he judged.

Cotton is Still kinu.

In the Old days before the war the
arrogance Of the South was based
largely on the prominence of cotton
among our exports. Cotton is king.
was the favoritu assertion of southern
statesmen and they believed that
Europe was So dependent upon Amcri-
can cotton that it would give prompt
and effective assistance to the cotton
growing states in struggle against
the North They learned their mis-
take in due time, but the truth of the
prominence of cotton among American
exports holds good today. Although
the South held that slave labor was in
diSpenSablc in the cotton fields this
country never sold over 5000, 400, 900
orth Of raw cotton to foreign custom
crs in any one year before the war
while in the last fiscal year about
500 0o0. 900 worth of raw cotton was
sold abroad Evidently the South can
raise cotton with free labor as well if
not better than with slave labor.
Cotton Is far in the lead among our
exports The bureau of commercial
statistics is able t" tell the country
that, though since 1886 our own mills
have beer taking third and more Of
the cotton crop CAST year Al per cent.
of IT'D. our sales and shipments Of raw
cotton to foreign countries in the fiscal
$500. 900 900. The largest previous total
Gin 1860 was $iO1 900, 900. 1t is a Won
dcrful showing This little table,
showing the aprrnXimat" money value
Of our principal shipments to the for
eignars this fiscal year, tells the story
at a glance:
Leather and leather goods. $4,000 900.
Wood and wooden things, $4,000. 900.
Copper, $1OO.O0O,OOO.
BrcadstuTs. $175,OOO,O0O.
Iron ana steel things, SlS5 900 900.
Meat and dairy products, 800 900, 900.

The bureau farther announces that
the United Kingdom has paid us this
fiscal year more than $500, 000. 900 for
cotton; Germany more than Sl25, 900 900;
France about $50 900, O0O; Italy a little
more than $4,000. 900; Spain and Japan
ABOUT $4,000 apiece. After the re-

sending in as To- the dull times in China

Fair ptay to China,

| As an act of simple honesty and
square dealing in international rela
tons the determination of President
| Roosevelt to have the Chinese indem-
nifty due this country scaled from S24,
900, 600 to s11 OOO. 600 will put this country
in a most favorable light before the
world and set an example which the
other powers cannot escape following
without considera BILE embarrassment.
There is no question that China has
legally agreed to pay the $24, 5000
awarded to this government by coun-
Gil Of all the powers interested as in
demnity for losses incurred in the
Poker outbrfa ak and for expenses in
cured in the international action fol-
lowing that outbreak But everybody
has well understood that in that in
stance the Chinese government was
mail ever recorded in the history Of
civilization. over $3.50. 900. 900 was de-
mandcd by the allied powers. when the
actual damage was probably not much
more than one-tenth of this sum.
This payment was to be over period
of 20 years and with interest would be
about $3.50 10000 The claim of the
United States was one of the most
modest cf them all and now that it APP
pears that it was more than twice the
actual damage, some idea Of the cX-
tent Of the European blackmail may
be had.
The claims of the missionaries and
other American citizens have all been
settled and there is no question that
the S11 ,0UO0OO already paid will, as
urged by President Roosevelt, amply |
cover all claims which this country |
can honestly put forward. Therefore, |
as a concrete Illustration of what is
meant by the square deal and as an
example of good faith and justice |
nations, this country will re |
fuse to accept any money beyond this
sum, money which would be wrung |
from the famine stricken and igno-
rant masses Of the Chinese Empire.
Such action by our government is
something very gratifying to every
good American citizen, ana yet it is
nothing to beast of. 1t is simply !
matter Of common honesty on the part
or a nation which processes to abide
by the teachings of Christian religion.
China appreciates the American atti-
tudc in this matter and in the words of
the Chinese minister at Washington
'"This action is another monument to
Americas high sense of justice and
proof of its disintereSted friendship
toward China" With such an example
set by this country under the leader
shin of the worlds most prominent eX-
poncnt of the policy Of the square deal,
what will the powers of Europe do?
Will they continue their rapaCiouS
plundcr of a dcfenSclesS nation? Will
they insist on the full payment of the
pXtortionatc ''indcmnity' from an en-
pire whose people by millions are
starving?

What pity that Gilbert and Sulli-
van are not living to pcrpctuatc in
another comic opera this tempest in a
teapot which has been raised by the
orders Of EngIands official dramatic
censor against the production of '"Thc
Mikad"." 1t was feared by the censor
that it would offcpd the sensitive
Japanese. or course nobody thought
of this when ii was first put on the
stage. but that was before Jaran
f"rg" to the front and became an ally
by treaty with England But al
though the Japanese are proud and
sensitive it appears they also have a
sense of humor. as is shown by The ac-
tion Of Japanese warshp band in
playing airs from the opera on the oc-
caSion Of an official visit from certain
English dignitaries. The selection
could hardly have been made in iCnor-
anCc or by one without high author
ity. Whatever the intention of this
chOiCc Of music was. its effect was to
complete the humiliation of the Eng
fish censor. He had been abused and
ridiculed by his countrymen and now
he was forsaken by the Japanese them
selves. The ban on THE MIkado" was
removed and now the charming opera
may bc performed again in the land Of
its origin.
