WORK OF THE COLLEGE
MEN IN AFTER YEARS
Percentage of Failure Is Not
Large

AS against the accounts by sociologi-
cal investigators of "thirty-nine col
lege men in the Bowery bread line at
one time" and 400 college graduates
found in the Bowery in single nights
search" it is profitable to contemplate
the more pleasing picture presented by
the Harvard class of 1908, every MEM
Der of which, by the secretary's re-
port, either has a lucrative position
or is pursuing advanced study in COL
lege." The statistics in each case are
too inadequate to permit of generaliza-
tons. But in the matter of Bowery
derelicts it is to be borne in mind
that the college educated element of
the population is now large, single
university sending out as many as
1000 graduates of all departments
that some will fail. On the other
hand the spectacle of an entire class
engaged in serious occupations a year
after graduation is testimony to stu
dent character and capacity which
should dispel certain prevailing mis-
conceptions.
One such Misrepresentation is with
regard to the supposed frivolity OF
student life. That of the sos mem
bers of this Harvard class 1877 took
employment during the summer vaca-
ton, while 1sS engaged in philan-
thropic and social improvement work
during their entire course, hints at a
more serious student view of college
education. The fact that three-f1fths
of the class went through college on
from $500 to $1,000 a year helps to
controvert the popular theory of stu
dent extravaganza. The seyerer
courses of study at American colleges
make less and less appeal to the shirk-
ers and the gentleman idlers. A youth
who has attended four years classroom
instruction, passed the requisite ex-
aminations and conformed to the gem
orally high student standards of per-
sonal honor, has demonstrated the pos
session of exceptional mental fitness
and of a moral responsibility which
may at least invite comparison with
that of other youth.-New York World.

DOCTOR DIES MARTYR

Another instance of doctor falling
victim of duty is reported from
Thiaucourt (Meurthe- t-Moselle). DR..

necessary. Although he had injured
his hand, he ignored the danger for the
sake of the patient. He contracted
blood poisoning, and hadshimself to un-
dergo several amputations, and finally
lost his arm. But this was not effect
ual. and the doctor has succumbed

Herrick NOt Right Man
 For Cabiuet Position

Washington, January 16.-(Special.) = Former Governor Herrick of Ohio, who according to Atlanta reports Is to be Sec retary of the Treasury in the next ad- ministration will be protested by many of those izs crested in the conservation of national resources movement which was instituted ny the President Persons in terestsd in this movement say that Mir. Herrick has been actively engaged in ob- taining the control of water riglsts for some of the large concerns referred to In the Presidents veto message today and that 1t would be a serious blow to the conservation movement to have the ex- governor occupying a seat at the cabinet table,
 Of course, nothing Is known here of what MT Taft thinks of the representa- tions made to him on this subject. It is generally believed that he wishes to ap- point one member of the cabinet from Ohio, and it is thought possible that he will not regard the objections as of great weight, although he is known to be in sympathy with the conservation views of the President.
 While not prepared to make public the details of their assertions the conserva- ton people insist that MT. Herrick has not only obtained water rights for cer- tain large special interests, but has cap- tured few on his own accord.

As matter of sentiment President Roosevelt desired to take away with him on March 4, the cabinet table, chairs and desk used at the White House during his incumbency. He ordered duplicates of the furniture to be paid for out of the funds appropriated by Congress for maintenance of the White House Since the row be- tween the President and Congress came up the President thought he had better write a member of Congress about the matter.
 The member of Congress to whom the letter was addressed quickly replied to the President He stated that he was personally without authority to give the President permission to take into private life furniture or any other articles which had been purchased by government funds for the use of an official household, or words to that effect.
 He added, however, that since the Pres ident seemed especially deslrous of hay ing with him trophies which would al- ways be reminder of his strenuous pres idential life, he would gladly, If the Pres ident wished, call the matter to the at tention of the appropriations committee which, If 1t saw fit, could appropriate the money necessary to buy the new fur niture.
 The appropriations committee being the one body of men in Congress- at the hands of which the President did not wish favors, he promptly notified the member of Congress to whom his original letter was addressed, that he would with draw his request.

Six subpoenas Served.

Indianapolis, January 16.-Six Indianap- oils men were served with subpoenas late today to appear before the federal grand jury in the District of Columbia at Washington on next Wednesday, January 20, and give testimony presumably in re- gard to matter printed in the Indianapolis News bearing on the Panama canal pur- chase.
 Four of the men summoned are eonnect- cd with the News They are Hilton c. Brown, general manager; Bert Parker, cashier; Edward Harding, foreman of the composing room, and Charles Clark, book keeper.
 The others who will give testimony are Albert Sahm county auditor and M. I. Berry. county assessor. It is presumed they are called to establish the owner ship of the paper; in other words, that Mir Smith appears as owner on public records.
 Delavan Smith is the proprietor of tho Indianapolis News but is not present in this city, being at Lake Forest, III. Con sequently no comment on the subject 10 obtainahle from him.
 Edward Harding, foreman of the com posing room of the News, is directed. 1t Is said to bring the original copy and matrx of the editorial page of December S. 1908.
 The other employees of the paper are simply cited to appear and testify on be- half of the United States.

Statement By the World.

New York, January t6.-The World to- night made the following statement re- garding the subpoenas issued here:
 "Subpoenas were served today on Will liam P Mclaughlin, editor of sports and athletics, of the Press Publishing com pany, and J. Angus Shaw, secretary of the company, requesting them to attend on the 18th day of January. 1909. at 10:30 of the forenoon, before the United States grand jury to testify upon all and every thing which you may know generally on the part of the United States
 "Subpoenas in this form seem unprece- dented in the history of the criminal laws.
 Tt being thus apparent, on the face of these subpoenas. that a general investi- gation is sought in any and all subjects in which the witnesses have any informa- tion without requiring that such investi- gation be given in proceeding which is under investigation by the grand jury as is required by law, and it being thus clearly a mere fishing excursion on the part of the government, orders to show cause have been obtained, returnable be- fore Judge Ward on Monday morning at 9;S0 o'clock, why such subpoenas should not be uuashed."

The independent operators and people of this field have asked that the general public through the Asso- cated Press be asked to contribute to the fund The operators ask that all subscriptions be addressed to L. c. Toney, president Of the First National, North Fork, W Va, and they an nounce public acknowledgement will be given through the Bluefield Daily Tel egraph.
