Claims That the Big Colleges
Are Breeders of Vice

R. T. Crane. a millionaire iron
manufacturer, last Saturday made
public arraignment of the big uni
versities of the country. He charg-
es alarming drinking and gaming
among the students. Colum bia, he
ranks the worst but conditions at
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell, he
declares are almost as bad. says a
Chicago dispatch to the Denver
Times.
Ninety per cent drink in their
freshman year at Harvard, %
per cent in their senior year and
Is per cent so irrivocably to the
bad, according to the report of an
made. Mr.. Crane has spent much
time and money investigating the
results of higher college education.
He says in his report:
AN outsider can hardly realize
the amount of drinking that goes on
in the colleges. Referring to Har-
ward. estimate the number of stu
dents who combine in a mild degree
wine and bad women. 60 per
/ cent W AlS VI lin lNst ~ 20 PC ~ -
and who have two or three bats a
year also 40 per cent.
AT Princeton it is beer, beer,
beer. On one occasion l believe
there must have been more than 500
students dead drunk.
AT Yale, drinking is recognized
to such a degree that clubs have
their tables at the bar rooms. Some
time ago the statement appeared in
New Haven paper that there were
1000 questionable women in that
city.
AT Cornell the conditions are
somewhat the same, although do
not believe Cornell students carry
their excesses so far as do boys at
Princeton. Yale and Cambridge. The
Cornell boys are great on beer as
are also the men at Princeton.
AT Columbia l believe there eN-
lists more debauchery than at any
other college, on account of its
close proximity to the famous re-
sorts of the city"
Prof. w. w, Rowles, chairman of
the committee on student affairs
at Cornell university, is somewhat
surprised at Mr.. Cranes report and
SAYS he thinks the standard of NOR
ality among Cornell men is very
high. In fact he had just made a
report. following n careful invesu-
CATION into all sorts of student mis-
conduct. in which he said that the
committee was much graufied at
the high standard of morality showI
in Cornell, and in which the COM
mittee reports that its investigation
proved that only l per cent of the
students drank to excess.
Mr.. Rowles said that he did not
think he would change his opinion
just yet. when asked about the
Crane charges. He declared that
Mr.. Cranes statements about Cor
nell were not all justified by the
facts and that they were unwar-
ranted.

The Photoplay Theatre has been
enjoying a big patronage the past
week, and the pictures and songs
have been extra good. 1t is a popu-
lar place of amusement and our best
citizens may be seen in the audiences
every night. Very few picture shows
show three reels of films at one show
but Pruyn Bros. believe in giving
their patrons the very best and plen-
ty of it. This week they are chang
ing their film service so as to secure
the very latest pictures, and they
will be shown in Leon within a week
of the time they are shown in any of
the large cities.

The Sentinel has for some months
declined to print cards of thanks,
and we believe that it has met with
the approval of everyone, for the
cards of thanks is not only relic of
ignorance, but in every way dis
credit and Objectionable. The res
olutions of sympathy are little if any
less deserving of publication. They
are private communications, just as
letters of sympathy, and what be-
reaved person would feel like SUBJ
hitting to the newspapers for publ
cation the letters received from
friends, who. in the dark hour of
sorrow send words of comfort? The
Sentinel will hereafter list them with
cards of thanks, and decline to pub
lish them. It is not always pleasant
to have to argue with people who in
sist on doing the wrong thing, when
it is easier to do as they wish, but
newspapers owe it to their readers
and to society to use their influence
for better ethics as we'll as better
morals. 0sceola Sentinel.

Andy Wilson, the we'll known old
farmer living near DeKalb, was in
Leon Monday, and was pretty near
ready to clean out the county treas
furer's Office and The Reporter Office,
because his name appeared in the
list of property owners who had al
lowed their taxes to become delin-
quent and advertised for sale, as he
always pays his taxes and had paid
them this year, the land owned by
him being advertised through a Pc
culiar mistake, having been listed in
two separate districts of Long Greek
township, and when he paid his
taxes the double assessment was not
noticed. When the error was ex-
planned and his name removed from
the delinquent list all was lovely and
Andy was satisfied.

The big Rosebud land lottery has
developed few thorns, characteris-
tic of all rosebuds. and some who
made trip for chance at a piece
of land feel quite stung and sore as
a consequence. It now develops that
Al sections of the best land will be
retained for school lands. Before the
lottery the reports were that there
We're at least 5000 good quarters.
Now the reports are that there are
about $50 first class claims. it
seems that Uncle Sam should have
given out complete and true reports.
This might have reduced the receipts
of the railroad companies a million
dollars or so. but the working class
of this country would have saved
this million of dollars. Is the United
States land department working in
the interests of the railroads or the
people? We will give you three
guesses.

A postmortem was held last week
on the body of Isaac Wampler, who
was found dead at the Clarinda Poul-
try plant on Monday morning of last
week, the physicians at first pro-
nouncing his death to have been
caused from heart trouble, but the
postmortem revealed the fact that
his death had been caused from a
hemorrhage of the brain, but we are
unable to state whether the hemor-
rhage was caused from a fall or 9TH
er causes. Mr.. Wampler carried &C.
cident insurance and there will prob.
ably be controversy over deciding
what actually caused his death.

The Punkin Husker, which is at
the opera house Saturday night,
Nov: 18th, is claimed by critics to be
the best story of rural life since the
days of The Old Homestead. The
cheap melodrama, the features Of the
latter day rural comedies are happily
missing. The Punkin Husker is a
rural gem in all that the word i'm
plies. You are missing real treat if
you fail to see it.
