pr. Frederic A. Cook. the noted ex plorer, was talking about his idea of trying to reach the south Pole with automobiles.
 Polar exploring in automobiles seems a very radical innovation, al most a shocking innovation, doesn't lt" he said Tt seems almost as shocking as the innovation that was employed one Sunday night upon a Brooklyn doctor.
 The doctor was in church He oc- cupied a front pew. The church was crowded, the preacher preaching elo- qnentlys perfect silence reigned

THE COLOR LINE AT HARVARD.

Even at Harvard where the negro has always enjoyed exceptional opr portunities, conditions are undergoing Ia marked change A few years. ago a large class of white students voIun- tarily chose brilliant negro student, R. C. Bruce. as ralsdictorian But last year. negro baseball player was the cause of so much discussion and embarrassment to the athletic associa- tion that there will probably never be another colored boy on the university teams. The line has already been drawn. indeed. in the medical depart ment Although a coiored doctor only q few years aga was house. physician at the Boston lying-in hospital, eolered students are no longer admitted to that institution. One of them, Dr
 Walker tan Iowa colored man) cannot secure his degree because he hasn't had six obstetrical cases, and he cant get the six cases because he isn't ad- mitted with his white classmates to the lying-in hospital Ii is a curious fact that not only the white patients but some negro patients object to the colored doctors Tn a recent address which has. awakened much sharp comment among Boston negroes. Pres ident Eliot of Harvard indicated his sympathy with the general policy of separate education in the South by re- marking that if negro students were in the majority at Harvard. or form cd q large proportion of the total number, some separation of the races might follow ..
 And this feeling is growing. not withstanding the fact that no negro student has ever. .disgraeed Harvard and that no students are more arder- ly or law-ahiding than the negroes. On the other hand, negro students have frequently made distinguished records for scholarship; last year one of them. Allan Leroy Locke. who took fhe course in three years. won the first of the three Bowdoin prizes tthe most important bestowed at Harvard) for literary essay, and passed for his degree with q magma cum laude.

 Six hundred auditors gave MT. Bry-

 Mir. Bryan spoke on currency needs at the dinner of the Economic club tonight, which was attended by over seven hundred diners, including many New York bankers, who listened to hn uritb rnr nfrl attention a MT Bryan said that there was ID need to extend the note issue of the banks as an emergency currency. He said:
 If were discussing the Aldrch billS1 would criticise a number of it's provisions, and If I were discussing the Fowler bill I would dissent with it's provisions but the point I desire to make is this-that we do not need to extend the note issue of the banks. The government can meet the need simply and quickly, and I believe provision should be made for the issue by the government of United States notes like our greenbacks. In form and, redemp- ton and that these United States notes should be loaned by the government upon SulllCItHl security tilU dI d TdIP of interest which would compel the re- tirelnent Of the notes when the emer- gency is over.
 T am opposed to any increase in the banks control over the currency of the pation. If those who desire an elastic / currency are willing to have the elas- ticity controlled by the government, and the notes issued by the govern ment, there twill be no difficulty in agreeing about security. Let the right of government to issue he granted and then we can easily agree upon security and 1t might be well to combine several of the suggestions that have been made.

The Mark of Real Culture


1T would only weary the reader to pursue this
subject further and describe the various
moral, esthetic scholastic, and professional
hates and prejudices. The difference between
the normal, natural hates and the unnatural
and vicious ones should already be clear 1t
should also be clear that many of our hates and
preudices are due to our unwlllngness or
inability to look beneath the surface differences
and see the real fundamental resemblances.
To recognize the fact that each one lives in d
little world of feelings, tastes, and desires,
thoughts and beliefs, all his own; that there
are truths in each, not to be found in any other
that, as the poet says
There are nine and sixty ways
OF composing tribal lays,
And every single one of them is right, =
to be able to evaluate things at their proper
worth and not mistake the shadow for the sub
stance; to love and hate with moderation and
reason,-these are the marks OF the truly cul-
tured mind.
