visions Expected.

BY vote OF g to 2 the Senate COM
mittee on pensions today agreed to re-

House it would have cost about Soo,ooo,eO.
Senator McCumber, chairman of the
committee, opposed the Sulloway bill and
endeavored to have the committee re-
port a measure which would cost for the
first year about $S,3OO,OOO. He was joined
by Senator's Gore and Taliaferro in max
ing up the minority on the final vote.
AS passed by the House the Sulloway
bill would increase the monthly pension
Of veterans Of sixty-two years from
S12 to $15; of sixty-five years from 81
to so; of seventy years from SO to Sd

The Senate committee, by vote of SIX
to five reduced the proposed maximum
allowance from $50 to $50. AS there are
estimated to be 63. 461 veterans who would
be effected by this amendment at the
present time the change would decrease
the annual cost a little more than
S4,JOO,OW.

Hezekiah weakened. and not only prom

made up handsome present in addi-
ton. In doing so he stripped the tenn
pie doors of their gold plate. SIENNA
cherib evidently accepted his submits
sion and turned away toward Egypt.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem were
overjoyed. They gave themselves up
to feasting and revelry. Then the
prophet Isaiah spoke to them: What
do You mean by this demonstration?
Is 1t time for JOY when our deliver
ance has been SO ignoble? Your war
riors have not been slain in battle, but
ANONYMOUSLY taken prisoners. The
danger in which you were should have
impelled you, not to riotous mirth, but
to prayer and fasting. I declare unto
you that the danger is not yet past: l
see before us a day of tumult. when
the Assyrian shall again lay siege to
your own strength and forgot God,
who makes the welfare of the city his
concern. Turn to him; feast no more
it Is time for prayer"

How shall the Fourth of July be cele-
brated?"
Says Vice President James S. Sherman:
THE manner of the observance Of the
Fourth Of July ought to be such as will
intensity in the minds of the present
generation the events which the celebra-
ton OF that day commentaries. differ
ent sort of Fourth of July celebration
is necessary to implant and empha size
this thought in the mind of the boy Of
ten, in the mind OF the boy of twenty. or
in the mind of the man of thirty. There
fore the celebration should. and appro-
priately can. have many different phases
and conditions.
IF some noise Is necessary in order to
instil in the minds of the young the
vast Importance of the event we celebrate.
let us have the noise. That is a second
airy consideration only, and matter of
perhaps few hours annoyance to some
persons. At any rate. let us in some way,
and the best way we can. not only see to II
that the young are brought to a full real
cation of the meaning of the day. but
that there is reawakened and renewed
in the minds of us all thoughts of. the
acts and scenes which made America an
indissoluble nation"
Every man who can ought to make a
speech on the Fourth of July said
Speaker Champ Clark. Every man,
young or old, who can command a few
people for an audience ought to glorify
the republic. it's institutions, what it has
accomplished in the world, and what we
have accomplished as nation. The
day should be celebrated for all it is
worth, but we should leave out the fire
works. at least the dangerous kind. be-
lieve that every community in America
should carry out its celebration along
lines to instil patriotism and reverent
regard for the nation and its history, into
the minds Of young and old.
1T ought to be hammered into the
heads Of our people that when the fathers
Of this republic made the Declaration Of
Independence there were only two other
republics on the face Of the earth: Swift

Defying God.

The new beSieging army was in charge
Of rabshakeh, as he is called, probably
a prime minister of the king. This rab-
shaken summoned the captains of the
army of Jerusalem to surrender. In the
hearing of the soldiers on the walls and,
evidently, of all the inhab itants of the
city, or as many as could be gathered
within reach, the hostile leader began to
argue in some such manner as this: do
not be deceived by Hezekiah, your king;
your God on whom he depends cannot
help you. You will be besieged and you
will be the victims of disease and starva-
ton while 1 besiege you. At last you
will be compelled to give up. For see
how lone of the gods Of the nations has
stood before us; all have fallen. and it
will be the same with your God. How
much better for you to yield now, for If
you do. We will take you into q goodly
land. where you shall have plenty, the
with no hardships or prfvations. Re-
member. your God will not help you. for
you have forfeited the right to claim help
from Him; you have broken His laws in
regard to worship, and He has forsaken
you. Then l am especially commission
ed by Him to destroy YOU" OF course,
this statement was a lie, but a lie might
serve his purpose, so he used it.
King HeZekiah rent his clothes, went to
asking what he should do. Isaiah promised
that God would deliver Jerusalem. There
fore. Hezekiah refused to accede to the
demands for the surrender of the city.
The rabShakeh returned to the main
body of the army, under Sennacherib' s
lead, to report the refusal. Upon this.
Sennacherib sent back his messengers

Environment and Scholarship.

From the Atlantic.
What of the environment of the under
graduate as affecting his scholarship?
Because 1t Is not. as commonly inter-
preted. the determining influence it does
not follow that II Is not potent infiu-
ence. There is very definite. though
very subtle danger to scholarship in the
environment Of the undergraduate. 1t
is important that % mistakes be made
in the attempt to locate it. When a stu
dent enters college he goes into resi-
dence for four years in a somewhat de-
tached community. This fact of protract-
ed residence has gradually created an en-
vironment unlike anything which has
preceded in the experience Of the under
graduate except as he may have come
from a private school OF long history,
and unlike anything which will probably
follow. The average professional student
can hardly be said to be In residence He
may live anywhere. and. for that matter
anyhow. Careful provision has been made
for the undergraduate in all which goes
to make up his life in residence. College
halls are halls of learning; they are
equally the homes of men. This man
lived or lives here. that man there. This
life in residence. as 1t goes on from gen.
Grafton to generation, evolves Its own
environment of traditions, Of associations
and fellowships. of collective or organ
lied activities, and. most subtle and pow
erful of all influences, of sentiment--coi-
lege sentiment.
