Help the University!

George Washington University is in
need Of immediate assistance The
trustees. in a clear, frank statement, have
appealed 10 the business community for
aid. There is no COncealment or the In
stitution's embarrassments. 1t is deeply
IN debt. and the sale OF its property now
seems imperative
Washington should help the university.
and help promptly If an opportunity
were offered TO bring a great institution
here. our civic and commercial bodies
the Board OF Trade and Chamber of
Commerce-would appreciate the meaning
Of it and become active at once. There
should be the same keen interest and I'M
mediate activity 10 maintain and
strengthen this great institution already
here. It is not q situation that calls for
talk. II calls for action. And there
should be a prompt and generous and
public-spirited response TO the appeal
which the trustees have issued.
It is too much to hope, perhaps, that

it the benefit OF the Morrill, act. That.
however, is what Congress ought 20 DO
It would be a godsend to the university
in its present crisis and at the same time
conserve a good public cause.
Mistakes have been made undeniably
in the past conduct Of the university. Il
has oVerreached itself. A more prudent
management would have prevented this
exhaustion of its resources. But It has
done q fine work. created field for It
self. demonstrated Washingtpn's need Of
such a university; and SO Il must be put
on solid basis and made really great
and strong.
There is no profit In discussing what
should have been done; the present duty
is 70 do what must be done The work
Of reorganization is IN most capable
hands. Help it along In every possible

The Wisconsin Puzzle.

II is much easier to determine what is
what in Iowa nowadays than it is in Wis
consin. In Iowa. a showdown from the
people direct has been had: and on that
showdown it is generally admitted that
the insurgent cause suffered considerably
On the surface Of things. the same con-
cluslon with respect TO Wisconsin seems
warraDted, but in reality it may not be.
The la Toilette Republicans in the
Badger state claim that they purposely
refrained from participating in the State
Republican convention recently so warm
~ praIsing the Taft administration and
so bitterly denouncing the insurgents.
They hold that. under the prevailing pri-
mary laws, party conventions are Illegal;
hence they refused to have anything 20
do with this one The regular Republi-
cans laugh that idea to scorn. and cite
imposing legal authority supporting q
counter view The la Toilette Repub-
licans are loud in their protestations that
they really control the Republican status
in Wisconsin. and that this contention
win in tirne-that is. in the primaries-be
most abundantly vindicated.
This claim OF the La Toilette branch of
Wisconsin Repubncanisn-so. for con-
veninence. to designate it-would be more
impressive, OF course. had things not
fallen out so contrariwiss in Iowa. There
the insurgents went down before the
regulars most aisastrousIy, And in a
primary test, moreoverl It would not be
frank and fair 20 say now that any such
result was looked for just across the
river from Wisconsin. In Iowa, Senators
Dolliver and CuInmins were no less active
ana aggressive than Senator La Toilette
has been in his State. 1t was the popular
impression that Iowa insurgency would
make much more significant showing
than it actually did make. Wisconsin
certainly is no more Of a hotbed Of
political unrest and anti-standpatism to-
day than Iowa was thought to be last
month
In these circumstances. it will occur
TO tae average observer of events and
things that Wisconsin will bear watching.

Warren first came into prominence in
the early stages Of the agitation through
articles he prepared for the Boston pa

assisted materially in shaping the affairs
Of the time. He was present at all Of the
town meetings held In Boston. from the
arrival of the British troops in October,
1853, to their removal IN March. no One
