SWANTON
RESIGNS
HIS JOB

Thomas Swanton, republican member
of the board of police commissioners.
has handed in his resignation. to May
or Becker, who under the new law
holds. the appointive power. While
Mayor Becker could not be reached to-
day. it is not thought that he has ap-
pointed successor as he is generally
very delicate about these matters. That
the resignation was handed with the
best of feeling prevailing between the
mayor and Mr.. Swanton is evidence by
the fact that Mr.. Swanton paid the
mayor a personal visit at his home last
Saturday evening in which time he
made his announcement.
The best of feeling exists between
the mayor and myself" said Mr.. Swan
ton, in speaking of his resignation, we
are as good friends as ever, and 1 hope
we will remain so"
Mr.. Swanton's resignation has been
noised about for some time, and is
thought to be merely a bit of political
ethics, which takes a suspicion away
from the Second ward alderman that he
is playing into the mayors hands for
the campaign, and leaves the mayor
also in position to hand the plum tc

ago Saturday, on the Spokane Inland
electric railroad where he was en-
ploye das motorman. Campbell work
ed for some time on the Hammond,
Whiting and East Chicago line and
later went to Hobart, where he ran
poolroom.
The wreck in which Campbell was
injured was head-on collision on this
road which killed fifteen persons and
injured 102. Campbell was the motor
man of a three-car train, and it was
considere dmarvelous that he escaped
instant death. The train which col
lided with the one which he ran was
also a three-car train.
Few Details Received.
But few details of the disaster reach
dthe Chicago papers, the only story
appearing in an evening paper 'on Mon
day. One of Campbells friends. how
ever recently received paper from
Spokane containing the full account of
the wreck.
Campbell is we'll known throughout

CULTURE WITH AND WITHOUT
 WORK.

Chancellor MacCracken obviously had not read Dr. Elliots just pub lished list of books. part of his five foot shelf, or he would not have re marked:
 The college is wounded in the house of it's friends when former Pres ident Eliot. advertising over his auto graph his five-fOot shelf of books, al lows himself to say: The faithful and considerate reading of these books will give any man the essentials of a liberal education If he is right, why maintain college at Harvard merely to give the non essentials of a liberal education"
 The chancellor means to ask why. if it is so easy to become liberaIly ed ucated any one should go to college. But what hesitant youth reading the formidable titles in the Harvard ed ucator's list will think the task an easy one? Here is only the first part of pr. Eliot's five-foot shelf. say a yard of culture. and you are asked to read. reread and memoriZe portions of such works as the Journal of John Woolman." Fruits of Solitude" by William Penn; The Golden Savings of Epictetus." Gov. Hughes midnight companion: "The Meditations of Mar GUS Aurelius." and Adam Smiths s Wealth of Nations not to mention others as laborious and forbidding.
 Far from being wounded in the house of it's friends. the college is magnified by this list. If a young man may reside there. giving his time to athletics and to clubs, and vet emerge liberallv educated, the equal of the man who has read, re-read and memoriZed Milton. Dante. Adam Smith. Darwin. Plato. Marcus Aure- Illus and the rest on Dr. Eliot's five foot shelf. then there surely is some thing in a college atmosphere infinite ly profitable to the youth who breathes it.
 Dr. Eliot has not cheapened the college Who would not prefer to acquire culture by playing football rather than by reading Adam Smith In college q liberal education is got painlessly: no one studies. so the great educators agree; but look at the lahors that face him who would be educated outside it's comfortable pur- lieus, Can i tbe that Dr. Lowell's and pr Wilson's remarks about the magnificent leisure of undergraduates and Dr. Pilots five-foot task for an intellectual Hercules were timed with a view to the annual registration?

GLOBE. April 30.-Advices state that at the Eureka shaf: of the Ari- zona Commercial the new Prescott pump of the 6O0foot station is sue cessful. The shaft will be unwatered, and crosscutting should be resumed on the 700-foot level within five days.
