Honorary Degrees.

With scarcely an exception. those
who have received honorary degrees
from the colleges this summer deserve
the distinction. The same was true
last year and the year before; 1t Is
true every year. Nor does the supply
Of men worthy of scholastic distinc-
tion grow less. Every year many men
who have been seriously devoting
themselves to their work are found to
have risen SO far above the general
level of their fellows that recognition
OF their achievement is appropriate.
They may not have attained great
eminence. but they have distinguished
themselves. and have attracted atten-
tion as men who have risen and are
rising. Recognition Of their superiori-
ty Is gracious and encouraging. The
colleges perform a public service In
decorating them with doctorate Of
laws, or philosophy. or science, or let

mitted that 1t is not SO high motive
as the desire to serve without regard
to praise or blame. Yet men are so
constructed that the most Of them
need encouragement and the inspira-
tion Of appreciation to do their best
work. Therefore, the prospect Of win
ming such distinction as will attract
the attention of the degree-conferring
authorities must be included among
the incentives to endeavor. 1t takes
a heroic soul to do great work in
secret, careless of praise or blame, and
few of us. remarks the Youths Com.

who do not achieve the distinction Of
honorary degrees there remains the
reward Of the appreciation of their
friends. The duty of the friends to
make that appreciation known is no
less than the duty of the colleges to
honor great achievement.

avoids as far as possible the use of the

when he must write "yo." In the equiv

The pope is credited with the re-
mark that If the Roman Catholic
church could be as highly respected
in other countries as in the
United States he would be in
favor of the separation of church and
state everywhere. The church is re-
spected here because communities Of
the United States all began with a
policy of religious freedom, and have
never tolerated state church. In the
other countries, where the supremacy
OF one church was established by law,
1t is not easy to hold respect when the
preference is withdrawn.

Northern Colorado Business Activity

of legal business in chambers caused

railroads have brought SO much to be
done in the way of condemnation

With practically no limit on the num-

Websterian solons illuminating the

fact that very few take the trouble to

MR. FoReAN's REJoINoER.

At perfectly safe distance, and be-
fore an audience that contained no
members that cared to interrupt him,
David r. Forgan Wednesday night dis
credited William J. Bryans knowledge
Of finance. Mr.. FOrgan is president of
the National City bank OF Chicago, and
it is reasona bly, certain that he was still
smarting under the toasting admins
tered to him by Mr.. Bryan at a meet
ing of the Chicago Bankers club some
days earlier. On that memorable oc-
casion, memorable to Mr.. Forgan, at
least. Mr.. Bryan had colloquy with
the banker in which the latter came off
decidedly second best.
And this is the way, addressing an
audience OF Chicago university stu
dents. that Mr.. Forgan got back at"
the gentleman from Nebraska. He
said:
4 heard Mr.. Bryan speak for an hour
the other night on banking problems
Mr.. Bryan was effective as an orator
and fOrceful. but all the time he spoke
l could find nothing in his talk to indi-
cate that he had the slightest concep-
ton of what a bank deposit is. And
yet. Mr.. Bryan is going about giving
advice on how to stop or prevent
panic"
This statement was interiected by
Mr.. Forgan into an address that
strangely enough, was on the topic
The Dignity of Commercial Life" II
had no bearing whatever on the subject
and the speaker had. it must be con-
fessed. the decency 10 apologize for
getting off the track" as he put it,
Nothing could have been more unfair
or more undignihed. Neither could a
more deliberate untruth have been ut
tered.
Mr.. Forgan might almost as well
have said that Mr. Bryan doesn't know
the difference between daylight and
darkness. or that two and two make
four, or any other self-evident propo-
sition. 1t is just trihe surprising that
Mr.. Forgan, out of his great knowledge
on banking matters, did not utterly
oonfound Mr.. Bryan when he had Mr.
Bryan before him. Surely a man who
doesn't know what a bank deposit is
wouldn't have chance with Mr.. For
gan in a debate on financial questions.
But Mr.. Forgan was very, very quiet,
when he had his great opportunity,
even though an audience of bankers
might reasonably have been supposed
to be friendly TO him. That is, he was
quiet after just ore or two encounters
with the Nebraskan. The Chicago
banker let himself be guilty of very
small piece of childishness when ne
made his unwarranted attack on Mr..
Rryan's banking knowledge. We don't
know whether he is ashamed of it or
not lie certainly ought TO De.
