The terrible bridge disaster on The
st. Lawrence below Quebec a year ego
has led bridge engineers TO exercise
greater caution and to some extent
revise their ideas. Because of the
necessity OF longer bridges. OF high
level and wider spans. bridge construc.
ton has evidently reached a critical
stage and many experts believe the
Quebec disaster shows that the can't
lever principle has about reached its
limit. II Is this fear. perhaps. which
has led the authorities to now seek
more expert advice before the Quebec
bridge is rebuilt. As immense struc.
lures are In process OF construction
in this country. or are being planned.
the decision as to the Quebec bridge
will be eagerly awaited.

That discomfort with British rule
has agitated certain parts of India for
some time and that assassinations
have been numerous is well.knOwn.
But Of late the signs of discomfort
have been less conspicuous, partly be-
cause Of reforms instituted by the
government. Therefore the double
murder In London the other day of
Indian officials came as a rude shock.
especially as assassinations are 50 ex.
ceedingly rare In England. Whatever

AN OMNIBUS OUTLOOK.

Hereafter. according to the an.
nouncement OF Dean Small, acting
president of the University Of Chica-
20. the professors are to be permitted
absolute freedom OF thought and
speech, even IL the institution must
suffer for H." This announcement
Is called forth by the case of Prof.
George b. Foster. who was dropped
from membership in the Chicago Bap-
fist Ministers Association on account
OF alleged heretical statements in his
book. The Function OF Religion in
Mans Struggle for Existence"
Has anybody ever doubted that the
Chicago professors we're free as the
mountain air In the expressions OF
their opinions. no matter how bizarre
the latter might be? And seemingly
they have not been deferred by any
fear that the university might suffer
for IT," From declaring that John ID.
Rockefeller is a greater genius than
ever Shakespeare was. to attacking
the institution of marriage. they have
run the gamut OF crazy notions and
continue TO be a perennial source OF
news for sensation-lOving journals.
Now. with the bars thrown down. how
they will frolic In the fields OF fancy!
Absolute freedom OF thought and
speech" Any day We may expect TO
hear OF Prof. Bookworm's discovery
that Elijah was snatched up. not In a
chariot Of fire. but In a primitive
automobile car. Another professor
will proclaim the original site OF the
garden OF Eden to have been along
Lake Michigan. the serpent coming
form Peoria. where he made his head
quarters and founded that towns
famous industry. There are plenty
of universities In this country which
permit their professors liberty Of
thought and expression. and yet rare
ly do We hear OF them INDUCING In
extravagant assertions Of the kind
that bring ridicule upon the institu.
tons they represent. While hoping
for the best as the result of the an
nounced new policy az Chicago. It will
be as well TO be prepared for the
worst.
