YOUNG LOVE NEEDS LIMIT.

The rash act of Labor day when w.
A. Childs, jr., of New York City killed
Miss Catherine Van Wyck of Brook
Ign, is attributed to unrequited love.
The young centers in this grisly trag-
edy were but 20 years old.
Passionate love is a very powerful
motor. When driven about the crooks
and turns of a protracted wooing by an
immature hand, it often lands in the
ditch
Most young fellows at about that
period have an attack of what the
humorists call calf love" Any grown
up human fledgling wearing skirts
stirs their tremulous senses. Restrain
ed through the day time by the stupid
compulsions of work and study, in
the evenings this temporarily dom
inant passion takes the reins. They
waste their physical substance with
late hours.
This should be period when am
billions for useful and efficient career
should color even the dull class room
or machine shop with romance. But
the fever of a premature love costs
energy at a critical period that throws
the dull pail of failure over many a
life.
A hand clasp from Miss Sweet Six
teen, having the slightest suggestion
of physical energy behind it, sends
the thrilled boy home treading on the
starry spaces. But If Miss S. S. en-
tiers the ice cream parlor with the
black hearted rival, what a mask OF
treachery human nature becomes
How all faith, hope, and charity turn
into dust and ashes in land of sand
and thorns!
Girls are more mature at 20 thar
are boys. They read danger signals
in these black looks. The fellow who
takes the game too seriously usually
finds himself disqualified before i
reaches the stage of playing for blood
Well trained girlhood finds steady
to be embarrassing and needless bag
gage. She dislikes to see the bloom
of her maidenhood taken off before
the real master of the flower garden
| turns up.
| Some people may often attribute
| such a tragedy as the Van Wyck
Childs case to the idea that the "gir

CRANE ON UNIVERSITIES

The accusation of Mr.. Crane, mil
lionaire iron manufacturer of Chicago
against the big mems universities OF
this country. is as serious as 1t is bold
II Mr.. Cranes charges are true, they
are black commentary upon the big
mems colleges of America. If untrue
these universities owe II to the public
to bring prompt and convincing refu
tation.
A good many mems college advo
Gates have for years denounced co
education as a condition that did not
make for the best misunderstanding
in young men and young women. But
an interesting sidelight upon Mr.
Cranes charges against universities
is the fact that not a single co-educa
tional institution is included in the
list of those where he has found wine
and women undermining the student
body.
AS a matter of fact such conditions
do not exist at the co.educational uni
versities, and for the very reason that
they are co.educational. The young
women attending Nebraska university
for example, come from the best
homes of the state and their very pres
ence serves as a check OF restraint
upon the youth who might otherwise
be inclined to run amuck.
Perhaps never has a more powerful
argument for a co-educational univer
sity been delivered than Mr. Cranes
address.

THEY MEET AT LAST.

Nothing is stranger than the COM
ing together in the whirligig of time
of two men who have politically
fought each other for a lifetime in
some common agreement. 1t is prob.
able that in the entire country there
are not two public men who, in their
training, ideas ard environment are
more decidedly different than George
Harvey, the brilliant editor of Har.
per's Weekly, and Col Bryan, the
brilliant chautauqua lecturer of Lin.
coin, Neb. They have advocated the
most antipodal political and social
views for long years.
Each of these men has taken par
ticular delight in ridiculing the other
out of court of public opinion and
each of them is a past master in the
art of saying and writing things. II
was a reasonable proposition that il
Bryan favored any idea, Harvey would
be found opposing it. But the years
have actually brought about a change
and these two radical extremists have
at last met on common ground.
In the election of United States sen
ators, if they are to be elected by di
rect vote, both insist that the fedora
government shall have supervision
over such elections and that the
states shall have the privilege only O.
| paying the expenses. In other words
both of these combative and disting
uished gentlemen believe that con
gress shall continue to be the judge
of who is elected to sit in that bod!
Of legislators.
1t is rather restful to know tina

have made it one of their special mis-
sions in life to insist that the othe
