Prof. F. ". Blackmar of the Unlver-

RrOI. F. W. bldCkIndT OI tne OulNeT- sity of Kansas Is quoted as advising no young man to get married and assume the responsibilities of raising a family on S25 per week or less. Ex-Congress- man J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence, a man of wealth and wide experience and observation in practical affairs, deiiv- cred a chapel address at the university little later, taking issue with Prof. Blackmar and declaring that a large Income is not indispensable to happiness or success. Prof. Blackmar has evi- dently been misunderstood, if not aotu- ally misquoted. He Is too wise not to know that the vast majority of the homes of this country have been built up on S25 a week or less. He is too good a political and social economist not to know that the vast majority of the future American homes will have to be built up on S25 week or less. aD' he is too patriotic citizen to shut the door of hope and opportunity and good citizenship in the faces of all who do not earn above that sum. Regardless of Prof. Blackmar's views, MT. Bower socks position will commend itself to most people as being the nearer In ac- cord with the facts as they are and should be. There is a great deal to be said in the matter of a constantly rising standard and cost of living. The young householder of to-day spends as much. paaaccor orz1,- md laritin, ,o ta1v an his 1it- tie family of three or four members as did his own father on a family twice as large. The necessaries of to-day were the luxuries of the past generation, and the luxuries of to-day bid fair to be the necessaries of the next But when all Is said and done 1t Is not the wisest course, from any point of view, to seek to dissuade any ambitious young man, actuated by the highest of the home building ideals, from realizing this last. Even In this dollar-frenzied Amer lea of ours 1t is only the frothy minor ity which gives the tinge and taint or financial mania to our society. In the background, unseen and often unsus- pected, uncounted millions of people are rearing the superstructure of splen- did American homes on foundation of thrift, industry and patriotic sacrifice for their children, which Is only an- other form of blessing the nation as whole In these homes the husband Is not a plunger or spendthrift or fren- zied financier, the wife Is not be-pow- dered and be-gowned fashion plate. The din of the mart never drowns the sound of contentment and the song of hope. Money means only the medium for pro- curing food and raiment and the adyan- tages of a decent scale of living. The money that does this magnificent work is, In the great majority of cases much less than S25 a week. To urge prudence in the financial phases of matrimonial prospects Is excellent advice. But to place the dead line at S25 a week is an industrial Malthusianism for which we are not yet ready, even in America. The dead line may not be set, in fact, by any political economist. The right sort of character will work out Its problems on any given sum. while the wrong sort of character will fail on any multiple of S25 week.

One always regards married men with families as men on the retired list of life, as far as progress is con- cerned. One does not expect them to aid humanity, to break rough ground, to act as pioneers or even allies. They are fettered by their private duties.

ture has dictated that course of

The general public is inclined to be
annoyed at the suggestion that for

promise to give the University here
the first opportunity of passing on
the records as nothing but justice in
view OF the honors heaped upon the
explorer by both the University and
the Danish public and their ungrude-
ing support and belief in his exploits.
