AS a result OF the hazing of Harris
Klein, a junior in the pharmacy depart
ment OF the Affiliated colleges. Monday
five students. ring LEADERS in the affair,
have been suspended from institu-
tion. one OF them for indefinite
period.
Klein was hazed because he refused
to pay his share OF the expenses of a
dance given by the junior class in
Golden Gate commandery hall few
weeks ago, to which each junior was
Of eggs. not all of them fresh, were
broken on the unfortunate students
head, and his smeared Uranium then
held under running faucet.
Klein reported the matter to the fac
ulty. and they in turn reported it to
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, who never has
allowed hazing in any department of
the University of California whenever
he was in sight. Wheeler ordered an
investigation, and all day Tuesday was
spent IN examining tne students or the
college of pharmacy.
AS result Of the investigation
Komsthoeft was suspended for an in
definite period, and the other four stu
dents for two weeks.
The hazing. was decided upon at a
meeting of the junior class, and car
ried by unanimous vote. The class
treasurer reported that he had been
unable to secure his dance assessment
from Klein, and told in detail how
often he had spoken of the matter to
the student, who answered that he did
not dance and could see no reason
for paying the tax.
Accordingly the students went to
school Monday loaded with eggs, and
at noon Klein was seized as he came
out of the laboratory, conducted to the
basement and there held while each
student approached and broke his al
lotment of eggs on the students head.
Then the water treatment was given
and Klein released.

Defends Pacific Mail

The local shippers were first led to
believe that Drake and Hartman
worked. more or less in harmony at the
time the Pacific Mail made its big cut
in rates The traffic men here at once
accused the Pacific Mail of trying to
shut out competition. Drake rushed to
the defense Of the Pacific Mail in a
statement issued in Washington which
has come TO the attention OF local ship
pers.
The suspicion has grown with the
last few days since it has been revealed
that the Pacific Mail is not carrying the
freight offered under the reduced rate
schedule. The impression has grown
that the big cut was intended as a
bogy to keep prospective competitors
out. OF the field. It appears that when
the California shippers offer freight
the Pacifc Mail takes as little as it
can. putting forward one excuse or an
other. and delays matters until the
shipper is finally forced TO consign by
way OF the transcontinental railroads.
The plan, It Is claimed. is 60 force ship
rnents over the rail lines

It has been openly stated for some
time that Bowling was in league with
the United Railroads and was their
tool in melting the strike. His was

the members of the union were pressed
for the sufficiencies of the home. Night

That this is the condition of affairs
is evident from the statement made
yesterday by a custom house broker.
He had gathered figures which show
that the Pacific Mail boats are leaving
with merely fractional cargoes. The
steamers Newport and San Jose, which
sailed since the cut in rates went into
effect. have carried less than 900 tons
each for New York. less than one-tenth

SHOW THEM OUR GAME.

Tomorrow a bunch OF Chicago bus-
iress men will reach the city and pre-
parations are being made by local
business men and farmers to treat
them with true western hospitality.
Under the auspices of the creditmen's
association about 20 automobiles will
go to Athena to greet the visitors and
10 take them on brief tour Of the
central portion OF this county.
This will certainly be treating the
strangers well and they will doubt
less appreciate the courtesy shown
them. They will see one of the fin
est wheat growing sections OF the
world. This should be especially in
teresting to gentlemen from Chicago
because Chicago is the hone Of the
wheat pit where the wheat Of the
world is bargained for and sold. Of
ten before the grain has been grown
OF those who will BE- here tomorrow
perhaps all have played more or less
with the bulls and bears Of the Pit
They will be interested in seeing what
sort Of a game the actual wheatrais-
ers have TO "buck." Show them.

HIDES AND SHOES.

The tariff on hides affords a good
object lesson as to the inefflciency Of
our present tariff making system. In a
low tariff on hides all the people Of
the country are interested because all
people wear shoes, gloves and other
articles made from hides.
on the other hand the beef trust.
which controls So per cent Of the
hides OF the country and indirectly the
other 45 per cent, according to W. l..
Douglass, Is interested in having a
high tariff on hides. From the pres
ent congress the trust will get what
II wants. As to the effect Of this
upon the shoe business Ex-Governor
Douglass says:
"I predict that, II the duties on
hides and leather are continued ten
years longer, not only will the mo-
nopoly Of the tanning industry by
the beef trust be complete but the
boot and shoe industry will then be
a part Of the tariff-fostered and tar
iff-nourished beef trust Independ.
ent shoe manufacturers cannot pay
20 per cent more for leather thar
will their trust companies and live
The handicap is too great. Then there
will be a monopoly in the production
OF shoes and, as soon as the inde
pendents are killed, the rs per cen
duty on shoes will become effectiv
and the prices Of shoes in this coun
try will be advanced to 20 or rs pc
cent above foreign prices and, prob
ably, above export prices"
Mr.. Douglas says further that tn
only hope Of the people for reasonabl
priced shoes lies in free hides and re
duced duties on leather and its manu-
factures. He points out, as others hav

SELLING CULTURE.

George Allan England, writing in
Success Magazine" tells his expert
ence along this line.
At the university which nurtared
me. as at most of our large colleges,
tutors flourished luxudiantly. These
wise men attached themselves to their
several universities like pilot-fish to
sharks. or crocodile birds 40 old scale
backs. They are absolutely indispen-
sable factors. IL the higher education

Families.
They wax fat. and legitimately so,
! on tie immaculate Reginalds and
Archibalds, whose marble baths, rae
ing-stables and garages are among
the seven wonders of the up-to-date
university towns.
To them flock no poor greasy
grnds," no burners of the midnight
oil. no despised Digs who mayhap
wait on table or tend furnaces by
day, that they may sup in Olympus,
by night. None such frequent the tu-
| tors rooms. No. The tutors stairs
are kept worn smooth only by tho
well-shod feet of those second gener-
alton men whose brains lie between
the cover of their check-beoks.
Do know that breed? Well, rath-
er! I've handled 'em by dozens; and
I'd swop a score Of them for just one

None such as these ever mounted

HOW 1T OCCURRED

The printers devil" was making
up his first form. The paper was
late and the boy got the galleys mixed.
The first part Of the obituary no
tice Of a pecunlous citizen had been
dumped in the form and the next
handful Of type came off the galley
describing a recent fire. 1t read like
this: "The pall-bearers lowered the
body into the grave and It was con-
signed to the flames. There were
few If any regrets, for the old wreck
has been an eyesore to the town for
years. or course there was individ-
ual loss, but that was fully covered
by insurance" The widow thinks
the editor wrote the obituary that
way because the lamented partner OF
her joys owed him five years sub
cription.-Exchange

ANIMALS CAN'T REASON

Animals do not reason. If any one
truth has come out Of all the critical
study of the animal mind that has
been going on since this century came
In. this is II. Animals do not reason;
they never reasoned; they never by
any possibility can reason. The wisest
of them do, indeed, get into the bord-
erland that separates reasoning from
other mental processes; but no living
creature. except man, ever gets un-
equivocally across the line.
All this, to be sure, science had
made out in a general way twenty
years ago. But of late years, begin
ming with Lloyd Morgan, the whole
matter has been gone over again, not
by collecting more or less authenti,
anecdotes, but by means Of the most
carefully devised experiments. AMI
mails have been placed in situations
where the subjects Of men would car
tainly use reason, and where the ami
NAL had every incentive and every OPP
portunity to use 1t. In no case has
the animal done so. Instead, every
time, It has attained its end by mem
tai process that looks like reason, but
Is not. Today, therefore, science not
only knows that animals do not rea-
son; It understands also the mental
process that, in the more intelligent
creatures, gives rise to the fallacious
appearance Of reason. At the present
time, we not only know that no living
thing except man can reason, but we
understand, in addition, the something
Just as good that enables other crea-
lures to get on without reason.-E. T.

HEALTH AND DISEASE.

How TO maintain the best possible
degree Of health is a question that in
terests every normally minded hu.
man being, because 1t is recognized
that happiness depends more upon
health than upon anything else
Upon such an important subject it
is but natural that opinions should
differ widely.
In the past physicians devoted their
time almost completely 10 the mat
ter Of remedies. Disease was regard
ed as something mysterious and in
evltable, The problem was how to
cure disease.
But those Of the more modern school
realize that the cause OF a disease
is a matter OF more Importance than
ie the remedy for that particular
evil. These people hold to the theory
that disease has no terror for per-
fectly healthy body. Furthermore
they contend that in reality disease
is more often a friend than a foe.
The theory is that disease Is a scav-
enger and that he never calls unless
his services are needed. Since few
people live strictly hygenic lives they
are all more or less in need Of his
aid.
If this theory of the matter IS cor
rect, as It undoubtedly is to a great
extent at least, then right living con-
stitutes the road to health. A pro-
per diet, abstenance from injurious
habits and plenty Of fresh air and
vigorous exercise will make disease
unnecessary and without disease there
is no need CT prescriptions.

AMERICANS ARE COMFORTABLE

A writer in Scribner's Magazine calls
attention to the familiar fact that
hundreds of thousands of Americans
live in houses admirably equipped as
to bath rooms, lighting and heating
conveniences and the like, where hun
dreds are thus equipped in England.
The general level Of comfort Is no
doubt much higher in this country
than it Is abroad. We have carried
the purely mechanical contrivances
for personal comfort much further
toward perfection than Is the case in
any other country. Whether we are
really more comfortable with all these
appliances than other nations are
without them might be disputed by
some foreigners. The Englishman and
the German are certainly very com
Portable in their homes even though
bath rooms may be comparatively rare
with them and their lighting and heat
ing appliances inferior to ours. They
manage to get along. 1t Is largely a
matter Of custom and Of climate. II
clVlHzdtloH Is " pe HledSuieu S"iSil
by the size and quality of the bath tub
or by the number of electric lights in
the house, we are certainly the most
civilized nation on earth.
II, however civilization implies per-
manent contributions to science, art,
literature, education, then England
Germany, France and other European
nations in less degree may be called
civilized. The bath tub standard OF
civilization may be a good one, but II

ARE WOMEN HYPoCRITES?

Professor Zueblin is not satisfied
with the present status of woman. He
does not like woman to be regarded
as "a cross between an angel and an
idiot" He does not believe women
ought to be forced to marry in order
to have food on the table, and he
thinks the present condition intoler-
able because a woman's whole life is
spent in trying to please a man.
The worst thing about matters as
they stand, according to Professor
Zuebl!n, is that it makes women
hypocrites. Woman gets things by
indirection. She goes through her
husbands pockets while he is asleep,
as a sober American judge has told
her that she has a right to do. She
fools him completely during the
"courting Illusion" and she pleases
him and furthers his interests in ways
that are too subtle for his dull, mas
culne intelligence to grasp. In short,
woman is hypocrte, and will remain
a hypocrite until she earns her own
living and casts her own vote
Even then, we hope, a little of
woman's hypocrisy will still remain.
What every woman knows is that she
can help the man she loves by not
letting him see that she is helping
him, and We men, while we sometimes
guess what she is doing, are perhaps
better off by not quite knowing. Let
woman have her economic independ-
ence; let her run automobiles and
build bridges and perform surgical
operations, and cast votes, and run
for offices (and get them), and do
everything else once held masculine
except grow beards-but do not let
her stop fooling us.-Success.
