add to the public's esteem OF Mr..
Bryan.
In the first place any college pro
fcssor of genuine ability, such as these
two men have, sacrifices all hope of
personal gain when he goes into col
lege work, for It is well known fact
that our college men are miserably
paid. And particularly is unselfsh-
ness shown in the case of Professor
Howard, who gave up a $4,000 position
at Leland Stanford university, for the
very reason that he was not permit
ted to speak his own mind freely, and
who took a position at Nebraska uni
versity at very much smaller
salary.
Mr.. Bryan's attention was called to
the fact that he had at one time help
ed solicit a Carnegie donation for the
Lincoln library. Mr.. Bryan replied
that at that time Carnegie was an
ironmaster while now he is a trust
magnate. This, of course, is ridicu-
lousy untrue. If Carnegie was ever a
trust magnate it was at the express
time when Mr.. Bryan solicited the
library fund and if he was ever free
from business greed or faint, and sin
cerely a public benefactor, it is right
now.
Mr.. Bryan has had a halo built in
Lincoln around his personality. This
insult pronounced by him in great
| bitterness upon conscientious men
who are far above him in unselfish
sacrifice and real public service, may
probably put a puncture in that halo.

To my mind he will be given in pos
terity about the same place as Andrew
Jackson, Jackson and Roosevelt are
somewhat similar. Beyond what |
have said do not think | could make
any further prophecy"
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale: 81
believe that President Roosevelt will
go down in history as one of our great
presidents. Undoubtedly he has his
faults and they are uppermost in the
minds Of great many people, and un.
douhtedly he has made mistakes
which he probably will be the first to
recognize. But one of the very reasons
admire him is because he is not
deferred from going ahead because of
the mistakes he has made"
Professor Henry Wade Rogers, dean
IF the law department of Yale univer-
sity: while he is deserving of
credit for some things, think that
when history carefully sums up the
results of Roosevelt's administration
it will not give him a place among the
really great presidents of the United
States. That he is a remarkable man
is not to be denied. We have had no
president like him, and probably will
not have, for a hundred years to
come"
Chancellor Avery of the University
of Nebraska: II believe that in the
future history of our country President
Roosevelt's administration will be re,
garded as one of the most notable of
the administrations not connected
with any great crisis. 1t will be re-
GREETED that he did not at times show
calmer Judgment in dealing with in
dividuals. Like the present German
emperor, he will be remembered in
history as one of the striking figures

The attempt has been made to teach
almost every form of business and
profession through correspondence
schools and now the proposition is
made in some states to have every
farmer given free instruction through
the state farm schools and experiment
stations, in farming. 1t is proposed to
publish monthly magazines giving re.
suits of the work at the experiment
stations and definite information con
corning the most successful methods
of raising crops and live stock in the
,taLcs where the experiment stations
are located. Every state should adopt
this eminently practical and sensible
method of raising the standard of the
farmers and increasing the productive
ness of the soil. The successful farm
err of the present and future must
work with his head as well as his
hand.

A well known police captain in New
York says the idea that crime by in
dviduals is to be prevented by the
advance of science is all wrong. He
says the reason it is easier to bring
the criminal to justice now than form
erly is due not to science but to or
ganization. The telephone, and wire
less telegraphy are open to the assist
ance of the criminal just as much as
to the officers of justice. He cites an
instance in Chicago where when the
pool rooms had been closed in the
city, a floating pool room three miles
out and so beyond city limits was
maintained on steamer on Lake
Michigan and the quotations and re-
ports from race tracks were received
by wireless, thus enabling them to
evade the law. The captain may be
right in many instances, still we are
inclined to the belief that more Grim
mails are intercepted by the use of
these scientific inventions than are as
sisted to escape.
