GENERACY OF MEN AFTER
ENTERING COLLEGE.

DENVER. July S.-At the morn

tional Association Charles Fordyce,
dean of the university of Nebraska
spoke on the degeneracy among men
two years after entering college. He
said the reason was that they had
been going TO secondary school
under the home influence and when
they come to collese as their own
masters they fall under the vices
constantly placed before them. He
proposed the German and English
method to make boys self reliant
men before they enter college.
Fordyce was followed by Main,
Davenport and Richards.

Referee Board Legal.

Attorney General Wickershan's opin.
ion. sustaining the legality OF the referee
board is in a sense a vindication Of Mr..
Roosevelt who appointed the board. for
It's appointment was attacked in some
quarters as a lawless exercise of AL
thority. II was not so regarded bv the
interests which hoped to profit by its de-
cisions. nor was it so regarded In Con
gTess BY the promoters Of the legislation
forbidding the creation Of commissions
unauthorized by law. In fact, there was
a contingent In Congress which took
good care that the referee board should
not be disturbed By any form Of leg
islatIon.
While Mr- Wiekershagn holds that the
appointment of the referee board Is
authorized by law, It should be borne IN
mind that It is not so authorized spe-
citically, but only in general terms. The
Secretary OF Agriculture has authority
to employ such assistants. clerks. and
other persons as he may consider neces-
sary to investigate the composition. aduI-
teration, and false labelling of foods.
drugs, and beverages. Under this general
authorization. It is held that the secre-
tsry may appoint board with power
to review the decisions OF the Chief OF
the Bureau of Chemistry, and may ac-
cept the boards advice. AS this is the
principle on which a good many other
boards and commissions have been ap-
pointed. their legality is not likely TO
be questioned, so long as there Is col
orabie ground in the statutes for their
employment The appointment of Exec
utive commissions. like the conservation
commission. the Presidents homes com
mission, and others. rests upon the as
sumed right Of the Executive to seek ad-
vice and assistance wherever he may see
fit. and not upon Congressional authori-
ration. Such commissions. it will be
seen, are on different footing from the
referee board.
Unless Congress should otherwise de-
termine, which seems improbable. the
referee board appears likely to become a
fixed institution. It may be hoped that
1t win not undo too much Of the good

ence 10 the desirable policy Of recognizing

regard the colonels OF line and staff. OF
whom there are some 12O in number. as
furnishing the officers from whom selec-
ton may be made IN appointing general
officers with due regard 10 personal and
professional qualifications.
There has been nothing more demoral-
izing in its effect upon the Commissioned

Of Executive favoritism In the form which
selects Junior majors and captains to be

by their juniors in rank and service are
entitled to entertain a grievance when
they find that their own efforts are thus
ignored and their chances Of promotion
are thus blocked

OF seniority IS one OF the most gratifying
signs Of his attitude toward the military
personnel. the members OF which have en-
tertained the hope that there was an end
