New York newspapers recently
commented on the college boy nuis-
ance" which they say is making itself
felt since the advent OF the big foot
bail games played in that city. \ quo
tation from one editorial reads: This
nuisance usually takes, the form Of
groups OF rowdies who parade up and
down Broadway, either walking
abreast or il locilstep formation, sing
ing and bowling, and being a general
oTeuse TO men and women alike"
Probably all this is very offensive
to the commercialized New Yorker
who protests against the college boy
because he does rot understand him.

their holidays as any healthy Ameri-
can boy who has been coopeG in a
small college town would celebrate
when he and his fellows came to the
city. Probably the indignant writer
merely heard a strong-lunged rooter
wishing that the opponents occupied
inches in Hades.
New York has taken the college boy
too seriously.

OF the other sort-by and for the
people.
Out of the shame and disgrace which
are san Francisco's portion in return
for fealty TO corruption and graft
comes reassuring voice, however, a
promise OF leadership in a nationwide
advance against official corruption
against those who debauch govern
ment for personal gain.
Rudolph Spreckels, who alone made
possible the prosecution of the graft
ers by furnishing the necessary tinan-
cial backing, is not discouraged by
defeat. He has laid plans for an or
ganization of national scope along the
lines of the fight which has been at
tracing the attention of the world to
San Francisco. The details of the
plan are not known as yet by the peo-
pie generally.
1t would seem an easier task to con-
troll the forces for evil when iE mar
row compass than to drive them from
the nation at large. On the surface
it leads to this conclusion. But Mr.
SpreckelS and Mr. Heney, it is an
nounced, have been for two years lay
ing their plans for a national organi-
zation, and it is fairly safe to conclude
that this organization will be lacking
in no detail of equipment for the ac-
complishment OF its purpose.
Mr.. Spreckels has shown an un-
fiinching purpose in the years he has
been serving as the man behind the
gun in San Francisco Though
charged with all manner of villainous
motives and designs, he has paid slight
heed to the accusations. He has the
confidence OF those who know him and
whose sympathy is with the cause
he represents. He would be fir
leader of national organization.

RAPID EATING.

large percent. OF the American
people eat too rapidly. The rush and
worry of American life have TAX N
hold upon them. In the larger cities
and towns business men and their
employees rarely take time to eat a
single meal as slowly as they should.
Even the farmer OF today, the man
WAC is ordinarily accustomed to take
his time at the table, is getting into
the rush too and spends less time al
his meals
1t is especially noticeable in uni
versities and colleges where students
are congregated in large numbers in
dining halls-how they invariably fall
into the habit OF eating rapidly, some
times finishing in ten or twelve min.
utes a meal which should require al
least thirty minutes. Such style
OF eating is sure to bring harmful
results. Every student, no matter
how great the rush to get back to
work, should resolve that he is going
TO take time for eating if for nothing
else.
The rapid methods OF doing things
and the worry attached to American
life will, withcut doubt, if not stopped,
cause Americans to be EXTREMIST
short-!ived. and among those habi,
which could be changed most easily
and With the greatest benefit to the
whole race IS that Of too rapid cat
ing.
