The hour is approaching when the govern

bogus business, must turn its mighty machinery
TO the determination of the bogus college man.

doesn't know genuine culture when it sees It.

for spottipg college men; but unfortunately the

as colleges got a little free advertising out of

to petition for federal intervention. But when
the supposed collegians began to live off their
reputation, they naturally came into competi-

of numerous business openings. And now, not
content with hurting the 4. BIS chances for IL

the mock graduate is winning hearts on the
strength Of the class yell he can initiate and the

a young woman has Just gone to court in
search of divorce from her husband, who, 1t
Is alleged, tempted her to the altar with the
statement that he a Yale graduate and IN

man needs little government regulation.

MORTALITY " TIE SENAIE.

The number Of deaths in the United states
Senate. since the beginning of this Congress has
been unusual and startling. The two venerable
Senators from Alabama-John I. Morgan and
Edmund w. Pettus-died last summer during
the recess. Stephen Il. Mallory. of Florida. sue
c,lmbed TO illness on December 23, 1907. ASbury
c. Latimer of South Carolina died on February
20, 1908: Redfeld Proctor, of Vermont, on
March 4 William Pinkney Whyte, of Mary
land the Nestor of the Senate, on March II, and
William J. Bryan. of Florida, on March 80. Mr..
Bryan was the Youngest member of the Senate
and had served less than three months. while
Mr. WHITE was the oldest. had served in the
Senate at three different periods and had en-
tered the upper house before any Of his col
leagues.
Seven deaths within the year In body with
only nnety-two members make remarkable
mortality record. Applied in the House of Rep
resentatives. such a ratio would involve the
loss of thirty members. Yet the House rarely
loses by death in one Congress more than ten or
twelve members.

THE P4RKHTRST CHARGES.

Navor Mcclellan writes of DR.. Parkhursts
accusations: 1T does not seem to me that these
charges weighty enough to warrant further
discussion The Mayor is right. Neither be
nor General Bingham should be subjected to the
trouble of making formal defence. Every one
will admit that the excise law is being violated
and that sundry other laws are faring no better,
and if anything could he accomplished toward
the Improvement of law enforcement by
change of executives the Parkhurst charges
would deserve consideration but the real ques--
ton is not how many saloons are open Sun
day. but who is master of the police. Are they
going to be left to their own devices. to ignore
each new commissioner as he comes. is some
system going TO be worked out by which the tit
ular head of the department will be its real
authority? The Mayor has honestly tried TO
give the city good police commissioner. and
General Bingham is honestly trying TO master
the force. Though his success has not been
great, he deserves the support of public opinion
in his efforts and such diversions as DR.. Park
hurst has introduced can only serve to detach
this from him.
DR.. Parkhurst in attacking General Bingham
serves no good purpose. Let him attack the
police force, which has dctied the efforts Of
half dozen commissioners appointed in the
hope of improving it, Every saloon in town
might be closed every Sunday and still the po-
lice force might be better, might persist in its
insolent contempt of public opinion and depart

practices revealed anew in the protection Of
The Worlds" gambling plant Treat the dis
ease. not the symptom. General Bingham is
trying to make New York the master of its
police force and DR. Parkhurst is not helping
