THE COLLEGE GRADUATE.

deprecating tone that Is frequently as
sumed on these occasions
Judging from the published reports. q
good deal OF the subject matter of ora
tons to the college graduates this year
has been devoted to showing these
young men and women Just how little
they know and how humbly they ought
to embark upon their careers In life.
Commencement orators at times have
shown their sagacity by pricking youth
full 'tancies and smashing academic
ideals, In addition, various harlequins
and testers with whitfield pencils or lu-
dlcrous lampoons and cartoons have en-
listed and apparently combined to jeer
the graduates with all the force Of
their united oaricatures.
All this is wrong. II is rank educa-
tional heresy that may lead to the race
suicide OF human souls. Does the coli
lege graduate need any more humIia-
ton than he is daily served in the class
room? The professors who have yield
cd to tho public jeers about the inef-
ficiency, the stupidity, and general
worthiessness of the college graduate,
and who have never failed to perform
their supposed duty Of informing the
freshman that he is yet the merest
youngster. the sophomore that he is
only Il boy, and tho senior himself that
he is scarcely more than child, have
not considered the Inevitable result of
the Wholesale public conspiracy to be-
little the graduate-the highest type,
after all. of our contemporary Aneri-
can youth? College presidents have al
already warned teachers and the pub
lie against this ruthless destruction OF
self confidence this darkening of the
best hopes and the purest dreams OF
youth. The most helpful thing for tho
graduate Is the dying start, the ambl-
tlous aim, the lofty hope our present
civilization il sordid enough without

the prevailing wages According 10 a
writer in Van Norden Magazine, this
is whit happened at the conferences
between employers and employees;
"Gray-headed engineers told how

suned unnecessarily and shop men told
how locomotives We're torn to pieces al

tors admitted that they burned one OF
two extra tons Of coal on each trip

open, white freight handlers told Of cars

II is stated that, as a result of these
conferences 100000 was saved in jan
uafy and 100000 in February.
This is an indication OF what can be
accomplished by friendly discussion
and the establishment OF cordial rela-
tons that make cooperation possible

precipitated n strike and further loss to
both sides. BY cooperative saving It
was made possible for the road to keep

there are many business establishments
in which cooperative saving would

THE CURRENCY BILL.

From all parts of the country come
Indications that the currency bill pass
ed by Congress in the closing hours OF
the session, is having, and Will have,
@ reassuring effect on business inter
ests. As a Salt Lake banker pointed
out, the mere fact that the machinery
is all ready to start work to supply
an emergency currency, will create such
confidence that there will be no neces-
sity for its operation, and the likeli-
hood is that no matter how severe the
demands on the money centers may be
TO move the crops this fall. the new
emergency measure will meet the situa-
ton. While the bill may not be an
ideal one. and while some of the crit
cisms of the minority party and of
Senator La Toilette may be justified.
very few compromise measures ever
are perfect. and the present one is
only designed to last until the commits
sion appointed by Congress, has had
full time to investigate our existing
currency system.
The currency bill follows the plan
adopted by the clearing houses of the
country IN the late fall stringency and
makes 1t practicable for national banks.
