TRIES ARE PRESENT
President Wheeler of University of
California Tells of the Power
of Public Opinion in the
United States
[By Associated Press. ]

BERLIN, Oct 30-The emperor, en-
front seats in the Auditorium of Ber-
lin today when Benjamin Ide Wheeler
president of the University of Caiifor-
mia, and Professor Moore of HarVal
delivered the opening lectures of theiI
courses.
Each spoke for a half hour. Seated
near the imperial party were Amer
lean Ambassador Hill, Mrs. Hill, other
Americans and many distinguished
Germans.
Professor Erich Schmidt, rector oil
the University of Berlin, in introducing
the American educators, referred tc
the great influence of America in the
culture of the world
President Wheeler's message from
the new world was as to the power OF
public opinion in the United States
and as he began with the words, 1.-The
source of all power in the United
States is public opinion" there were
those present who saw something dra-
matte in a situation where the SOW
ereign of one of the most powerful
monarchies of Europe listened with
an expression of pleased attentiveness
to the speakers explanation of the
transitory character of any governing
machine in the United States which
ceases to correctly interpret any pres
ent public opinion.
Continuing, the Californian said that
Notwithstanding their radical theories
their fierce spirit exhibited in cleo
tions, and their predictions for nov
elites, Americans were essentially con
sentative.
Would Have Been Conservative
He was convinced from personal ac-
quaintance with w. j. Bryan, he said
that Mr.. Bryan would have been con-
servative if he had been elected pres
ident, but if he had not proved conser-
vative he would have been bound hand
and foot and gagged.
At the mention of Mr.. Bryan there
was a stir in the audience among those
who happened to know that the en-
peror's councillors of the foreign officS
had advised his majesty against Civ
ing an audience to Mr.. Bryan wher
the distinguished American visited
Berlin in 1907.
Following his reference to Mr.. Bry'
an, President Wheeler turned his at
tention to former President Roosevelt
whom he described as conservative II
his innermost impulses. The latter!
capacity for understanding public
opinion accounted, lne spedhSI Sblu
for the great place he held in the
hearts of the American people.
Professor Moore outlined the course
of lectures which he will deliver or
the function of religious history. He
said he would treat the subject in {
historical spirit strictly.
At the conclusion of the lectures thu
emperor heartily complimented boil
Americans and with the addienc'
Joined in three cheers proposed by
Rector Schmidt
Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Wheeler and Miss
Eva Sprague, the latter accompanying
Mrs. Wheeler, were presented to the
emperor and the empress.

New York, July 23.-The sluggish and
torpid state OF the stock market today
was significant of waiting mood on
the part of the speculation. The event
awaited with most interest at present I'M
douhtedly is the meeting of the United

to act on the quarterly dividend. Specu-
lative opinion has about reconcied itself
to the view that there will be no change
in the dividend rate at that time. United
States Steel was steady and quiet today
that the peg had been inserted again
above 70, which had been withdrawn sue
| cessively at Y and at Il on the down
ward course from the maximum price at
70, which was touched last Saturday. A
hopeful feeling was impaired to specula-
tive holders of United States Steel also
by the rise of Amalgamated Copper.

on the local diamond. Twilight baseball
is somewhat new to this place but it
certainly was success. The game was
fast and snappy from start to finish.
Madison played a steady game except in
the seventh inning, when they allowed
one run to come in on errors. Cavanaugh
was in the box for the locals and kept
the opposing team guessing. WEIGH, who
pitched the last six innings for Oakland
used the spit ball effectively several
times. Waldron led in stickwork getting
three clean hits out of four times up. A
hard one-handed catch by Bates was the
feature of the game. The following is

In University Administration

In University Administration former
President Eliot. of Harvard, says: 1.-The
bread and butter motive should not
prevail in a universitys professional
school to any greater extent than it
should prevail in a college, In both
departments it is reasonable for the in
dlvldual student to keep in view the
means OF earning a livelihood, but in
both alike the dominant motive should
be the desire to be serviceable and to
be well equipped to give and to enjoy
giving effective service"
