The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-07-08

Chicago. o.--Richard T. Crane. multi
millionaire, like Robert Louis Steven
son, author, believes more men are
spoiled than made by college educa-
tlons. The multi-mllionaire, who
spent his early life chiefly in labor,
having little time for study" feels
much more strongly on the subject
than the famous graduate of the Uni.
versity of Ednburg, for he favors put
ting the torch to the universities sup
ported wholly or partly by the various
States.
The occasion for this latest express
sion of the views of MIR. Crane, who
made his millions in building eleva-
tors. is that members of the Legisla-
ture asked his advice on the question
of increasing the appropriation for the
University of Illinois. The university
was organized in 1867 This years ap-
preparation was $1,000 900. For fifteen
years the appropriations have aver
aged s2.000,000. Before that they
were not so large. The university,
situated at Urbana, has 1900 students
who pay from $50 to $110 year for
tuition, and has library of 100000
volumes. Mr.. Crane, in his letter to
the legislators, says:
81 have given great deal Of
thought and study to the subject OF
higher education, and have conducted
several systematic investigations with
regard to this and many other institu.
tions engaged in advanced lines Of
education. In fact, as far as l know,
] am the only one who has ever taken
up this subject in businesslike way,
and the conclusion have reached 10
that practically every one of these in
stitutions Is fraud and an imposition
en- the public.
I'm trying some years ago to find
out the utility of an academic educa-
ton for young men who have to earn
their own living, inquiries were made
not only of graduates from the col.
lege and universities, but also of those
who had engaged these graduates in q
business way, and the result as shown
was anything but creditable to the
university.
Il am prepared even to go much
further than this, for | maintain that
instead of being benefit, such insti.
tutions as this are positive curse
and are doing vast amount of harm
by demoralizing the youth of this
country
Instead Of appropriating funds for
such institutions it would be a good
deal better for the State to put q
torch to them and burn them down.
to go out Of the higher education
business, and permit the boys to go
back to their homes and assist In sup.
porting their families instead of caus.
ing them a heavy expense"
Mr.. Crane is now seventy-seven
years of age. In 1903 he married. as
his second wife, Miss Emily Hutchin.
son, who was then under thirty, and
settled $1,0O0,0OO on her in lieu Of
dover. His company has profit
sharing system under which more
than 100000 is distributed each year
among its employees.

The SUFFRAGETTE COCKTAIL.

Minneapolis, Minn.-The suf-
fragette cocktail Is the newest
American drink.
Any other kind Of a cocktail
makes man want to go home
and beat his wife. The new
drink has exactly the opposite
tendency. Two or three Of the
new drinks make a man go
home and relinquish his posi-
tion as head Of the household to
his wife and accord her all the
privileges he now enjoys as q
citizen.
That's true, for it has already
been tried. A Hennepin avenue
bartender invented the new
drink. Here's his recipe:
SIoe gin, French vermouth
and italian vermouth In equal
parts to make a gill; mix In a
cocktail glass, add q dash Of
orange bltters, twist In two
strips of lemon peel and serve.
One makes man willing to
listen to the suffragettes' prop
osition.
Two convince him that It has
some merit.
Three make him a mission
airy, willing to spread the gospel
abroad, and four make him 90
home and wash the dishes.

Erls Has Only Moustachc.

In the san Francisco Examiner Of
August 23, appeared a picture of the
congressional party then in the city
enroute for Hawaii and one group
includes Congressman w. r. Ellis
But it is not the Judge Ellis who left
this city last fail prior to the opening
of congress. The picture shows the
judge minus his beard, his face being
adorned solely with a moustache.
Some time ago the news stories con-
tanned information that Congressman
Ellis had shaved the sides of his face
leaving only a "chin beard" But the
picture in the Frisco paper shows that
he has since done away with his beard
entirely.

WOULD OPEN SUNDAY
GAMES WITH PRAYER

Chicago.-A sermon would be
fitting opening to each major league
baseball game played on Sunday, ac-
cording to Bruce Barton, son of the
Rev. w. E. Barton, pastor of the First
Congregational church, Oak Park. He
declared last night that although he
did not favor Sunday baseball, ne
thought the plan feasible. Barton said
he had mentioned the matter to some
Of the prominent ministers of Chicago
and had also set the facts before
persons connected with the manage
ment of major league teams, and that
in all instances his suggestion had
been approved. Barton says that the
matter has been approved by both
President Charles Murphy, of the
Chicago Nationals, and Charles Eb-
bets of Brooklyn.

kindly disposition made friends for
his team as well as for himself. Twen-
ty years ago. he was promising
youngster on the Kansas City team,
where his ability was so pronounced
as to indicate that. he would one day

He was member of the Boston Ma
