THE STANDARD OF SUCCESS.

Prof. George H. Palmer, of Harvard,
sent the graduating class of Dart
mouth College out into the world the
other day with this advice:
"You have had little to do with
self-support. Now you are called
upon to earn your own living. From
this time on honor money-getting,
money and power. Riches are the
lever of service to the world"
Is Professor Palmer right? Did he
state the full case? Is that good ad-
vice? Is it safe to give that notion
to an ambitious boy?
We think not. Money is not the
standard of success-it is merely one
medium. White corpuscled fools may
honor money, but red-blooded men
honor achievement. Riches are not
the lever Of service to the world
brains are the lever. Does anyone
think John D. Rockefeller as great a
success as is Thomas A. Edison or
Orvil1e Wright?
There are all too many people who
hold Palmer's idea about money
They change their view when they
have a Harry Thaw in the family,
Sometimes they change their view
when they get well acquainted with a
Luther Burbank, Wright brother, a
William j. Bryan, LaFollette, a
Robert Hunter, or some other fellow
| who has never relied upon mere mon
ey for lever Of service. They learn
then that only brains count for hap
piness and success. Brains achieve
| and many fool and almost any knave
| can stack up money.

TESTIMONY FAVORS THAW.
If Counsel Cannot Get Together Alien
ist Commission to Settle Question.

White Plains, N. Y, July 12-If
counsel cannot agree a commission of
three alienists, mutually selected, will
pass upon the question of Harry K
Thaw's sanity. This was practically
decided before adjournment today at
continuation of the hearing before
Justice Mills, in which counsel for
Stanford Whites slayer is trying to
establish his rights to release from
the asylum for the criminal insane at
Matteawan.

favor of Thaw, and with the indica-

tilted to Thaw's soundness Of mind
had taken the stand today, Roger
Clark, deputy attorney general, who

formed the court that he had been SO
much impressed by ThaW's intelligent
interest in the issues at stake that he
| was willing to concede Thaw's right
to full and impartial, examination.
Justice Mills favored the suggestion

opinion that the state ought to name
two of the three experts. With that
exception he left the personnel of the
commission to be determined by joint

THAT FIYE.FOOT SHELF.

The president emeritus of Harvard
frankly admits that he was paid by a
New York concern to pick out the
thirty books for the famous fve-foot
shelf. The New York concern pro-
poses to publish these books in tab
loid form, and DR.. Eliot justifles his
action on the score of public educa-
tion. He pocketed the fee, but he
says lie had no other motive than the
cause of education. What he pocket
ed will not be apt to advance the
cause, but really the good doctor
should not be blamed for accepting a
fee. Others equally lofty and eminent
pocket fees, and Dr. Eliot had right
to secure one from the New York
concern.
The doctors reasons for omitting
the Bible and Shakespeare are not sc
defensible as is his fee. He says he
left them out because most people
have read those books. AS a matter
of fact, most people have not read
them, and still fewer understand them
The New York concern asked that
they be omitted. 1t is then a New
York concern list, and that is just
about the size of it.
DIR. Eliot and the New York concern
have made mess Of it, and the
chances are that few five-foot shelves
will be built to hold the books that
have O fee and New York concern
behind them. cit is" says DR.. Eliot.
"a strict. business proposition, and
naturally the publishers will advertise
largely" Well, anything that pro-
notes advertising in these times
seems to be acceptable, no matter
what its sins of omission and COM
mission may be.
