criticism of friendly foreign powers, es-
pecially in their purely domestic affairs.
and we should not blame any German
for regarding with pronounced disfavor
and with some degree OF Indignation
such utterances as those which are
cited. Yet we cannot believe that even
such outbreaks, appearing in newspa-
pers which are conspicuouSly unrepre-

in this particular, unrepresentatiye Of

so seriously by the German government

INEVITABLE WASTE. "

Who was it said that waste in mu-
nicipal government was inevitable
This comforting doctrine, which has so
long excused civic indifference, is receiy-
ing hard shock almost daily. One day
the city administrator cuts of one
source of honest graft and another day
another, until now it is almost possible
to revise old notions to the extent of
saying that economy in city manage
ment is inevitable.
The administration is almost embar-
raised by the opportunities Of saving
presented to it. 1t cuts off special coun-
sci in the Catskill condemnation pro-
ceedings who have been costing the city
500, 900 or so q year apiece, and sub
stitutes for them salaried counsel ct
$4,000. Now. which is the more in
evitabIe, to pay 100000 or $4,000 for
legal services? Is there anything in
eyitable about two idle crews on the
ferries, which are accumulat-
ing comfOrta BILE deficit Of 100000 q
year? Was there anything inevitable
about the great patronage scheme which
the providing Of 4 water supply in the
Ashokan region was made TO subserye?
If the public wishes to be well gov
erned it must strike the word 'ineyita-
BILE" from its vocabulary.

ADVERTISING UNIVERSITIES.

DR.. Pritchett's annual report as presi-
dent of the Carnegie Foundation con
tains sensible warning to colleges and
universities of the dangers OF advertis-
/ ing. Probably such warning is not SO
much needed now as it was few years
ago, for college authorities seem to have
perceived the excuses into which pub
licity seeking was leading some Of them,
and the busy press agent with his Mon
day morning stories of the SenSa tional
doings of the professors has been sub.
iected to curb. Still, 1t is well for the
public to he reminded that Un the pages
of a magazine a university which, &C,
cording TO DR.. Pritchett, is mo univer
sity at air. but an educational enter
prise which among its various activities
conducts a department store can shout
as loudly about its courses and equip
ment as could Yale. Harvard. Johns
Hopkins Or Wisconsin. II is also well
for the public. puzzled by educators cry
ing their wares. TO know the genesis of
some universities. DR.. PritchetJ quotes
from q pamphlet Of the Presbyterian
College Board:
Local real estate movements tend con-
stantly to multiply the number of col
leges. It is rarely denominational pride
or SeCtaTian feeling that starts college,
but purely local real estate reasons.
Most colleges proposed in the West VIII
go TO the denomination Offering the most.
The college board for twenty-five years
has entertained scores of such offers,
rarely denominational IN origin.

advertising methods. Can true ami,
versity hope to compete with it?
Most advertising of universities Is.

Indirect advertising is illustrated in
press agents reports of the sensational
speeches of faculty members. now fortu-
nately being depressed. Tie danger from
