In the discussion of taxes in the re-

church property from taxation. So far
as / know there is no church property
taxed in America. President Grant
condemned this exemption in two mes

three billions of dollars valuation.
Now, in the language of President
Garfield, If you exempt the property

+ Lest robber State, with reader steel,
Pounce on the precious store by

Escaped on a technicality'' is a usu-

very commences Of it is one of the
disgraces of America. In a recent
Golfers Weekly there is a whole page
of examples of loopholes by which the
law. Tor rather the spirit of the law is
evaded. 1t is a remarkable set of de-
fects in legal procedure but any state
or county in the country could fill sew

der, rebates or a case involving artifi-
showed, that is what. the legal profess
sion is replete with. The most sue.
cessful lawyers nowadays make their
money by finding loopholes.
The fault is by no means centered
in any one place: sometimes it is the
fault of those who make the laws.
sometimes those who construe them.
The thing is all wrong somehow the
public must surely feel.
There was much criticism lately of
Judge Fox and the jurors in the Gay

blame not more justly placed on the

COLLEGE PROFESSORS AND THE
PRESS.

College professors are always se1t-
ing into trouble with the press. II
has been since the beginning OF things
and doubtless will continue. No 9th
er class of men ever have SO much
difficulty; either in being understood
or in being quoted as saying some
thing which they did not say. There
Ia no need to call to mind the Chlca-
70 daily papers and the University
it goes on all over the country. n
would think ron the tales of the av-
erage pedagog that the sport of bull
batting Is a mild pastime compared to
their trials.
The true situation is probably that
the newspapers in most cases regard
them as they do all other men which
is a situation so unique that the av-
erage professor fails to grasp it's sig
~nificance. After teaching for a num-
Der of years the strongest adult mind
becomes accustomed to a Difference
from pupils-and then expects the
whole world to do like wise. 1t is an
unhealthy and warping state in which
he finds himself. and not all the in
structor's fault especially if he have
not a sense of humor. Not having
to buck up against the real world-he
from a false idea as to his own import
ance assumes hat he is immune from
what the other citizens Of the world
are accustomed to-.
Some of these men are among the
most gentle, kindly and affable souls
there are in this world. Others are
not. For the teaching profession like
all others has all sorts of men in 1t
as has every other trade.
The authorities of Earlham col
lege have always accused the local
press of harboring animosity toward
the college. They have at times van
ed things kept out of the papers and
at times wanted things in the papers.
In this they are entirely human.
Sometimes they have said that the
reports In the papers were untrue.
Be that as it may another case has
come up.
With a pronunciamento that report
ers have no right to criticise the play,
