Our examination of the machinery
by which students are admitted
shows eunclusively that the method.
and standards of the three institu
tions differ SO widely that they &c
far to ne,.tralize any influence which
they are in a position TO exert upon
the secondhry school system of the
state. The Ohio State University
maintains regular inspectors upon
the basis of whose report an ac-
credited list of high schools has been
made up.
Ohio University, on the other hand
accepts students from many high
s,tJols hat the Ohio State Univers-
stty finds unworthy of recognition,
while Miami University also pursues
course OF its own. 1t should be
said to the credit of the Ohio State
University that 1t maintains a care
full and eyact system of registration,
and that 4 guards the admission TO
its colleges ana scientific schools
with reasonable care. In the Ohio
University, on the contrary, there is
no effe".ive system or registration,
and the only ruling principle which
can be observed Is the effort to bring
into the college as many students
as possible OF all grades, in order to
create 'he maximum effect upon the
Legislature.
In Tw of the conditions which
have been referred TO, II seems clear
TO the executive committee of the
Carnegie Foundation that the cause
OF education would not be served by
the admission of any of these insti-
tWions at the present time to the
benefits of the Carnegie Foundation.
The committee most respectfully ven-
tures 10 suggest that the education
al intere7s OF the State of Ohio re-
quire hat these three institutions
he reconstructed in such wise that
their functions may De differentiated
and that each be assigned a definite
place in d comprehensive and con-
sistent educational system. This
communication is made to the chief
executive OF the state in the belief
that a frank statement OF the situa-
tion, as It appears to us, is the best
service which such a body as ours
can render to the state of Ohio and
in the further belief that the adop-
tion of a consistent and effective ed
ucational policy by the common
wealth, Is a matter in which the In
terests of all citizens of Ohio are
seriously involved.

DELAYS IN THE COURTS

Delays in courts OF justice some
times tend to promote justice and
sometimes they do not. In some cases
they seem eventually TO serve TO clear
the atmosphere. But in other cases
they rather tend to let suspicious
characters slip through the meshes
OF the law. The State Journal in
discussing the Calhoun case at San
Francisco says:
"The trial of Patrick Calhoun,
charged with bribery of certain San
Francisco officials. was begun last
January, but jury was not OBJ
tanned until April "a. since which
time the evidence has been heard.
That has been long enough time to
hn the air with dust and turn Jus
&ice totally blind. The greatest
friend OF crime is delay-weeks
spent IN controversy. raising doubts

rome ledge upon which guilt may

BUSINESS REsUMING

The country has evidently deter.
mined not TO wait on the action oi
Congress but to go ahead and re.
sumo anyhow. Business and trade
are reviving all over the country
the mills are opening, the harvest
fields are calling for men, the sound
of the hammer and singing wheels
of industry are being heard in the
land and the country Is about nor
NAL again. Iron is generally conceded
to be the prime factor of the re-
vival and the big mills are now get
ting large orders. The Toledo
Blade makes the following impor-
tant observation on the situation:
Steel, as a basis industry, is pro-
ducing more signs of returning
prosperity. A contract for $4,000
ions of rails has been placed with
two subsidiary companies of the
trust by the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. Other Gould orders amount to
from $4,000 to 2O,UUo tons The
Chicago G Alton has closed for g.
900 tons: the Northern Pacific is
said to be about to sign contracts
for $4,000 tons. About 100000 tons,
will shortly be called for by the Har-
riman lines; 10000 tons by the Sea-
board Air Line and 10000 for the
New Haven road.
"The purchases show the reawak-
ened activity of the railroads and
they may be taken as virtual for
approaching work in bridge mater
lad, car equipment and other struc-
tural forms used by the transporta-
tion companies.
"The orders for wire products
are said to reach the steel trust Of
fees at an average rate OF 5000 tons
daily, which is, ii is declared, In
excess OF manufacturing capacity.
An encouraging item in the in
dustrial news Is the announcement
that the Southern Pacific company
has given orders for the building OF
four new steamships for the con-
6truotion OF which about 10000
tons of steel will be needed. There
are rumors, according to e. New
York newspaper that the Pittsburg
Steamship company is about to bus
two new lake boats.
''If II is true that steel reflects
the industrial condition of the
country the nation must be close
TO that plane which Is called normal
BY the time the tariff bill is signed
the greater number of the worries
OF business men resulting from the
late panic will have been conquer

er" put out from Washington, the
mention or Senator Burton as the
strongest man the Republicans could
nominate next year for governor fell
flat, very flat IL failed to touch a
responsive spot anywhere in the
state.
Since his election to the senate,
Mr.. Burton has developed some ele-
ments of strength" that irritate the
olfactory nerve and, besides, do not
comport with his previous pretentions
of political purity.
Mr. Burton promptly dlsowned the
'feeler" and advised his friends
against further agitation in his fav-
or. He could clearly see that the
'feeler" fell when 1t reached the
Buckeye atmosphere.
One Republican paper even got so
bold as 10 remark that there has been
too much dictation from Washington
of late years. and that the Repub-
licans of Ohio would select their own
candidate for governor next year.
Well said. But we've seen this
kind of self-asserted virtue in GER
tain Republican papers before. Il is
old, familiar and threadbare. These
Republican editors who feel that way
are permitted to indulge in that sort
of independent thought and speech
between campaigns. when II doesn't
do any harm to the machine. But
when 1t comes time TO fix up the
primaries and pack the convention,
Cox and his co-ordinates will be "on
the job just as they were last year
when Burton, Cox, Guilbert, Brown.
Vorys, Taft ct al, were engaged in
their celebrated and successful game
of elimination.
Therefore, the sarcastic rebuff of
an indignant Republican editor at the
mere suggestion of dictation from
Washington in behalf of Burton may
be construed litersllly-or II may mean
that Cox will run things next year.
as he has in the past, even though
the present occupant of the White
House is his fellow townsman. For
Cox has his own notion about com
mon enterprise when it comes to
state affairs.
So far as known Cox never shed
a tear when Charley Taft was defeat
ed for senator. He can find use for
Charley's bar1 in future enterprises
common or uncommon. BY letting
Burton slip into the senate Cox can
feel certain that Burton is shelyed
for a time where even talk of n gub-
ernatorial nomination won't hurt him
nor anybody else.
No wonder the Burton "feeServ
from Washington fell so flat. When
IL comes time to name the next he
publican candidate for governor Cox
VIII tell Brown, Burton, Guilbert. /
Vorys, Taft, ct al, whom they shall
nominate, and it will be done in
way calculated to deceive the rank
and file into believing that they ac- |
tually did select their own candidate

Tor who grew so eloquently indignant
about "dictation from Washington"
Will fall into line and be as tractable
as the lamb selected for the slaugh-
ter. For some will be fooled but
not all.

sENTTORs SITTING ON A BOMB

ft is remarkable that those geez-
ers in the Senate are not able to in
terpret the determined public opin-
ion that Is rapidly forming in this
country on the tariff uestion. There
is Senator Dick who made n poll
parrot speech the other day declar-
ing the Aldrich schedules are Just
about right. If Dick will get out
amongst he peope he will find that
they favor those reductions promised
in the last campaign and regard this
raising OF them a mean stukification
of the apte-election promises of the
party AMI they have a contempt for
me nwho will undertake to serve the
monopolies, trusts and predatory
corporations at the expense of the
thousands and millions of voters.
The people of Ohio have taken
noti'e of Senator Dick and the
woods and grain fields and work
shops are swarming with men who
will take delight in voting to get
some representative of their inter-
es,s in the place which he now oc-
cupies bat fails 10 "fll." The idea
Of Dick saying that the Aldrich
bill wiki its qualifications and frauds
and eXtortions should be held as a
model legislative effort on the great
problem.
Mr.. Dick makes our large bones
tired. He totally fails to grasp the
situation. He fails TO interpret the
rising tide of public opinion on the
tariff question and he stands a poor
chance 10 succeed himself in Con-
gress. Unless he shows a clearer
head than revealed by this matter
We wouldn't vote for him for a
hog catcher. Does Dick, like AID
rich, think that 1t Is only necessary
10 serve great monopolists and men
Of large wealth engaged in manu-
faaturing and that the people are a
negligible quantity? Well, the peo-
pie may lee who casts the votes.

Senator Brown was engaged re-
Gently in proving that there is no oc-
casion for a S4.O0 per ton tariff on
paper. But what's the use? The
"hcg-combine" in the Senate, those
in legislation, have the
votes and will levy any kind of a
tariff they please. Evidence, proof,
argument, facts, logic have nothing
to do with II. These have been
brought into requisition TO show up a
thousand overcharges, iniquities, i'm
positions, extortions and robberies but
not the slightest attention has been
paid TO them. This Congress is not
amenable to facts and argument. 1t
is a disgraceful fact but fact never
theless that this Congress is only
to dicker and trade.
Statesmanship is not operative at
the Nations Capital The halls OF
legislation are not occupied by jur-
lists and statesmen but by horse
traders. Hence we should be surpris-
ed If any attention were paid TO
Senator Browns arguments.
