THE PRIVACY OF THE UNIVERSITY

Elsewhere i'll this paper appears
communication from The Hon.
Armstead Gordon, rector of the Uni
vcrsity Of Virginia, pointing out that
that institution has y alumni in the
present Congress, instead Of IS, as was
declared in the press dispatches and
in this paper some time ago. This
places the University Of Virginia nexl
to the University OF Michigan IN the
list of Congress onal alumni and the
further statement that il has been the
ease many times In the last half-cen-
fury that the University Of Virginia
has eXcclled all others in point CT

unquestionably true. 1t now claims

THE MOST NOTEWORTHY FEATURE.

The Rocky Mount News, one of the
most aggressive and progressive papers
Of the West says in late issue:
Tile most noteworthy single feature
OF the last fifteen years Of public life
in America is the growth of a sense Of
Responsibilities. 1t is found everywhere
Voters feel Il greater responsibility to
the state. Officials feel Il greater re-
sponsbility to the people states feel
q greater responsibility to each other
and to the nation. There is still room
for growth in This direction. we re-
Erctfully observe but the advance
made in decade and half has been
marvellous
Of the trend Of political thought and
action at the present No one can ques-
ton that the public conscience has
been powerfully quicllencd for the bet
ter in the last few years. Official graft
and private graft legal robbery ana

Illustrating This change in public
opinion and this drift toward sense
OF responsibility on tho part Of the

SUBSTITUTING THE PRESS.

Charles H. Harding. Second Vice
President of the National Association
Of Woollen Manufacturers. said in
washington last week that he had two
chances TO substitute the press Of the
United states for the sum of $500, 600.
and that If lie had raised that amount
OF money for distribution among the
newspapers ot the country. they would
have supported the woolien schedule OF
the tariff law in their news and cdi-
torial columns. The Washington
Times has figured it out that this would
have amounted TO $3.50 per paper THAT
looks like q Very small sum; but every
body knows that the cost OF living has
been mighty high Of late and that wood
pulp would not bc admitted 10 this
country free of duty, and Mr.. Harding
may be right, although we never heard
Of il before. The only objection we
have to the story is That il is such an
innrtistic lie that nobody will believe

Washington, Dec. 23-It is stat d here tonight on very good authority that the president has narrowed down his choice for successor to the late Justice Harlan to MT.

 The only difficulty affecting the mo- imitation of MT. Nagel, it is said. is the necessity for the appointment of a new cabinet officer in his place, but such difficulties have been overcome by former presidents.
