TO SERVE THE STATE.
University Head Says Graduates
should Have Civic Sense.


From the Chicago Tribune.
The new president Of the University Of
Minnesota offers a fruitful distinction
for the guidance of all democratic insti-
tutions of learning A university, said
President Vincent in his inaugural ad-
dress should aim to serve the Common
wealth through individuals rather than
to offer personal privilege and advance
ment to a few at State expense. The
other philosophy would reduce the uni
versity to a machine equipped for turn
ing out persons prepared at public ex-
pense for getting a living out of the
citizens who had been taxed to train
their exploiters.''
State universities especially should be
required to keep this in mind and to
turn out citizens-graduates educated as
to the civic sense 1t should be as great
a failure for a State university to fail
in this as for a military school to turn
out soldiers undisciplined and ignorant of
tactics.
1t is from our universities, and espe-
cially our great State universities, that
the republic should recruit its leaders,
men fit to inspire and guide a free peo-
pie. Democracy is not only an emotion
nor only a faith. 1t is a difficult proc
ess, and must rely for its success not
merely on the deep instinct of mankind,
but the shaping intelligence, the enlight-
ened will. Trained men, men educated
in the best sense, men who know the
lessons of the past and can apply them
to the flux OF present events, men who
know the significance Of law. economic,
social, and political-these are sorely
needed in the American experiment.

Intelligence in Dogs.

From Lippncott's Magazine.
One man would have 1t that a collie
dog is the most sagacious of dogs, while
the other stood up for the setter.
"I once owned a setter" declared the
latter, which vas very intelligent ]
had him on the street one day and he
acted so queerly about a certain man we
met that I asked the man his name,
and"
"Oh, that's an old story" the collie
advocate broke IN. sne<ingly. THE
mans name was Partridge, of course,
and because of that the dog came to a
set Ho! Ho! Come again"
you're mistaken" replied the other
suavely.' ''The dog didn't come quite to
a set, though almost. AS a matter Of
fact, the mans name was Quayle, and
the dog hesitated on account Of the SPELL
ing"

ARMY AVIATION SCHOOL.
No Logical Reason why II should
BE Removed from College Park.
From the Baltimore Star.

From the Baltimore Star
The proposal to move the army avia-
ton school from College ParF is without
sound reason or logical excuse. If it be
urged that a more southerly climate
would better suit the purpose of the
school in the winter months, the answer
appears at once. For If the aeroplane is
to be useful in war, 1t must be equally
available in winter as in summer, in fall
as IN spring And the army aviator who
was experienced only in flying when wind
and weather made ideal flying conditions
would be worse than useless for any prac-
tiCal purpose in actual warfare.
War is no longer stretched over a Pc
riod of years with a tacit suspension of
general military movements in winter
and both armies bedded down in winter
quarters. Valley Forge belongs to the
ancient past Of things military. And no
foe that is likely to come against US will
kindly consent to defer hoStilities until
such time as our airmen deem 1t safe to
attempt fight for the purpose of deter
mining that foes approximate number
and strength. War Is strictly business
like, and the party thereto that Is up and
doing, without regard for any considera-
ton save that of beating the other fellow
as decisively as possible, Is the one that
comes out on top. II the aeroplane can
not measure up to this requirement It
has no place in actual military opera
tions.
Maryland has as good an alI-the-yeaP-
round climate as is to be found in the
eastern part of this country. If College
Park will not do for a winter aviation
school as we'll as for a summer one, avia
ton Is not capable OF serving the army's
purpose. The king on the chessbOard Of
war is the capital Of the invaded coun-
try; College Bark is well located for all
proper military purposes with regard to
Washington.

GASOLINE TANKS EXPLODE.
nndnrd OIL superIntendent Burn

Standard OIL superintendent Burn
ed in Accident at BayOnne, n. J.
New York, Nov. 1.-TWO of the great
gasoline tanks in the yards of the Stand
ard Oil Company at Bayonne, N. J., ex-
plOded, one after the other, about
o'clock, with a concussion that rocked the
town and broke many windows on Staten
Island, across the XIII Won Kull. The
two tanks spouted clouds of flame high
into the air, and at midnight the fire was
visible from the country for many miles
around.
Supt. David Allen, who was near one
of the exploding tanks, was seriously
burned. 1t was reported. that six other
employees had been injured, but the COM
pany officials refused to give out any
information.

No Bucket Shops in Washington.

By giving a broad Interpretation to
the statute prohibiting bucket-shops in
Washington, as distinguished from the
literal construction placed upon it in
the lower court, the Court of Appeals
has placed the final ban upon bucket
shops in the District Of Columbia.
The higher tribunal takes the ground
that the spirit and intent OF the law,
as we'll as its actual verbiage, must be
taken into consideration. Viewed from
this standpoint, it finds that Congress had
in mind the abolition of these places,
and it proceeds, therefore, to give force
and effect to the intention.
The great mass of citizens in the
District who are unacquainted with
the intricacies of the law, but who are
anxious that moral conditions here shall
be maintained at the highest standard,
will agree with any decision that puts
the bucket shops out of business, no
matter how that decision may have
been reached. 1t would seem, of
course, as if the ground upon which
the Court of Appeals has based its con-
clusions is a sensible and logical one;
but, after all, it is the effect of the de-
cision which is vital and which will
give universal satisfaction.

The United States and Intervention.

Secretary Knox is acting wisely in
proceeding with care and deliberation
in the matter of the appeal of Turkey
to the United States for intervention
in the Turko-Italian difficulty The
ground of the appeal is that Italy has
violated the laws Of war in commit
ting atrocities in Tripoli There is
apparently foundation for the charge.
Despite the efforts to censor the re-
ports of Italian actions, much has
been printed TO prove that defenseless
people have been slaughtered. The
correspondents who have returned to
England relate stories which, while
they go far toward removing any feel
ing of sympathy which might have
been entertained for Italy at the be-
ginning of the war, also recall Turkeys
unspeakable acts in Armenia.
At the same time, the war between
Italy and Turkey is purely European
question. 1t is true that President
Roosevelt, with the energetic impul-
siveness which marked his administra-
ton, personally interviewed between
Russia and Japan, and his act, meeting
with success, attracted the attention of
the entire world 1t may be that this
precedent is the reason why Turkey has
appealed to the United States, father
than to Germany or Austria, which,
with Italy, compose the triple alliance
1t would seem, however, as if either of
these countries could more effectively
bring pressure to bear upon Italy than
could the United States Our protest
can be nothing more than perfunctory.
If Italy reminds US that the matter is
one with which we have no concern, we
must accept the answer and be con-
tent. We cannot, under any circum-
stances, undertake to use physical force
to compel the observance, evens of an
established moral obligation.
z This being the case, our participation
in the controversy is confined to
an expression of opinion. Besides
this, if we accept the role of investi-
CATION and intervention, we must be
prepared in the future to meet a protest
from the European powers when we
object to their interference in affairs
which come within the scope of the
Monroe doctrine We have always
kept free from entangling foreign al
liances. and it would be well if in this
instance we weighed carefully the con-
sequences which might follow accept
ance of Turkeys appeal
1t is even difficult to see why an
American war ship should be dis
patched, as the Chester is said to have
been sent, to meddle with the Tripoli
situation. As a humane and civilized
nation we are, of course, opposed to
brutality everywhere, and especially do

The Herald in the Front Again.

The enterprise of The Washington
Herald in matters relating to local af-
fairs is again fully demonstrated and
the appreciation shown by the public
is most gratifying.
% We published yesterday morning a
very complete series of statements fur
nished by our correspondents in various
cities relative to pension funds for po-
licemen and fremen. The information
showed that in no other municipality
is a deficit allowed in this fund, but, on
the contrary, generous allowances are
paid without deduction Here in
Washington, owing to the failure OF
Congress to make proper provision, al
though fully advised by the District
Commissioners as to the situation, the
retired policemen and fremen and the
widows and children of men who lost
their lives in the service have been
compelled to accept only a small pro-
portion of the amounts which are their
monthly due Consequently, there has
been much suffering and privation
among a class of people whose depend
ent condition makes their hardship all
the more difficult to bear
The Washington Herald believes that
Congress should pass at its next ses-
sion a model pension law. 1t will work
to that end with persistence and energy
1t has already collected for the Com
missioners and the citizens an amount
of data that will prove of value The
public appreciation universally ex-
pressed yesterday for its efforts in be-
half of the policemen and fremen is
most encouraging and shows that The
Herald is regarded as an important fac
tor in everything that tends to help
the citizens of the District

WILL WAIT FOR THE COURT.
Gov. Mann's Position Regarding
the Beattie Case.

From the Petersburg IndeNArreal.
GOV. Mann said to-day that he is being
flooded with letters from all parts of the
country bearing on the Beattie. case, but
that he would not and could not answer
any of them. He also said that three
persons had written him COnfessing that
they did the killing. but the persons
failed to sign their names to the letters
The governor will refuse to act in the
case until the Supreme Court has finally
passed on the petition. 1t is believed
that in case of adverse ruling, the gov
crnor will grant a stay of some six
weeks Thirty days would make the eX-
ecution on Christmas eve, and for that
reason it Is thought the governor will
grant the man such stay as will avoid
the execution during the holidays.

FEATURES OF CAMPAIGN
WHICH ENDS TONIGHT
Largest Interest Centers in Massachusetts, Maryland
and New York City Contests.
Six Governors to BE Elected To-day

Six Governors to Be Elected To-day
Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Kentucky, Mississippi. and New Mex
leo are the States which to-day will elect
governors. In Massachusetts and Mary
land the contest is very close.
Virginia and New Jersey elect both
houses of the legislature, New York
wrestIes with seven amendments to the
State constitution and elects the lower
house, some county officers, and judges.
Nebraska elects university regents and
Judges. In Ohio only mayors and munici-
pal officers will be chosen. Many other
States elect merely county officers.
: In California women will have a chance
to vote for local officials. except in San
Francisco, where they were unable
to register in time for election after the
passage Of the equal suffrage amendment.
GoIdsborough VS.. German.
Maryland to-day elects a governor,
comptroller OF the treasury, house of
delegates, and half the membership Of the
senate. In the city OF Baltimore the
three-cornered fight for sheriff has tend
ed to nearly split the Democratic party.
State Senator German Is the Democratic
nominee for governor. = His party regards
the State as normally Democratic, and
has issued an appeal for loyalty ito in
sure success at the next national cleo
ton" The Republicans, whose stand
ard bearer is P. Lee Goldsborough, have
made alleged extravagant expenditures OF
the Democratic Legislature their principal
issue How bitter the fight Is can be
estimated from the fact that as a re-
suit of the grand Jury's investigation of
the official returns of the primary elec-
tiOns last August 200 election officials,
almost equally divided as to party affilia-
ton, were indicted on charges Of fraud.
Campaign in Bay State.
Massachusetts voters are fully aware
that tO-day's election will be regarded as
a political weather vane for next years
Presidential campaign. No other State
has been in the limelight so much this
year. owing, perhaps, to the tariff con-
troversy which vitality concerns the many
industries of that Commonwealth. The
question before the electors Is whether
Foss OemOcraU is to be given a second
term or whether his young opponent,
Lieut.. Gov. rockingham, shall return the
old State to the Republican column.
Other State officials as well as a new
legislature also will be elected. National
issues have played an unusually impor-
tant part in the campaign.
Gov. FOss was elected last year by a
plurality Of 35.279 over Gov. Draper. in a
total vote for the two candidates of 49,
525. The campaign this year. however,
has been somewhat apathetic, and a
falling of OF the vote to something below
10000 Is anticipated by both parties. Gov
FOss predicts a victory by 5OO0O, while the
Republican State committee think Froth-
ingham will win by So. 600 -
There are three other candidates for
governor, Prohibition. Socialist, and So
cialist-Labor.
