"GOIkG TO COLLEGE"

The college graduate is coming out
in the world to do things. Also to have
things done to him, but he doesn't un
derstand the latter clause now as he
shall later Like a young bear his
troubles are all before him. SO are
his successes. So far he is the pro-
duct OF the lanista. He has been
trained to do things. The g!aditorial
sports he has thus far engaged in have
been with blunt weapons. When he
steps out this last time, however, ne
IS to meet the real thing. This IS the
arena The swords are sharpened here
his opponents are veterans and the
spectators are used to slaughter and
prone 10 turn thumbs down on those
who have fallen or are overcome. He
has been trained to do things in the
school. Now he is going out to have
things done to him From now on his
eye and his hand must keep his head
Most men who fail do so, not by at
tempting too much but by overesti-
mating themselves and underestimate
ing others. Some fellows come out Of
college with the idea that the world is
their oyster to be swallowed without
the schools like the city sports with
fine fishing outfits to see the ragged
boy in overalIs with a willow pole
carry home the fish they intended to
get with the steel rod and the ten dol
lar reel and the braided silk casting
line. The desire to catch fish and a
good outfit to catch them with doesn't
fill the fish basket Theory is a
mighty handy thing but you've got
to know something of the habits Of
fish If the frying pan is 70 be filed.
The college man IS not the helpless
individual the paragrapher would
make him. He is better prospect
than the other fellow but he Is only 4
prospect The trouble with him is
that he can't understand that he is
only a prospect He rnagines that he
Is fitted for great things when he IS
only fitted to be fitted. He will make
d DStteI CdIpeIleI, better engineer,
a better merchant or lawyer or farmer
because he IS fitted to fit him self to
any avocation because Of his college
training. 1t has helped his balance
The trouble with him is that he can't
understand why he shouldn't come
green as gosling into any and all
avocations and begin at the head. So
he hawks at the sun and burns his
wings and falls 1uttertng. When he
learns to estimate himself and others
and the work Of the world proportion
ately he succeeds, If he deserves to
succeed.
All this talk about Jim who never
went to any school but the district
school of winters having a job that
pays a hundred month and Of Tom
who went to college looking for a job
dishwashins is pure poppycock Given
two equal prospects one college bred
and the other unlettered and unlearn-

years Of age in wages and apparent
success. After that age the college

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

We'll, what Of it?" asks the Daven-
port Democrat of the list Of new auto
mobiles in Iowa. 1t is true that no
state Of similar population is spending
more money for riding on air: and it is
also true that Iowa can afford it. You
haven't noticed that the deposits in the
savings, national, and state banks have
been running down; or that this year
corn crop promises to be cut in half;
or that business is not going on about
as usual"
"Anybody can own a newspaper If he
wants to--after it is printed" says the
Sioux City Journal.
The Sutherland Courier remarks
that while attempting to pursue pro-
gressive politics. Mr.. President Taft
still displays the same penchant for
rank standpat personal advisors"
Indications are that Iowa will have
bumper crop Of corn and OF candi-
dates for governor" says the Daven-
port Times.
New candidates for state office are
being talked Of by friends almost ev-
cry day The fact is, speculation re-
speeding political preferment Will never
subside no matter how far apart cleo
tons may be placed says the Mason
City Times. IT is in the very uncer-
tainty and mystery Of the political
game that IS found the charm which
chains SO many men to the game

LOOK TO THE ROADS.
TY~fe ID5orepfo

TIC IHuepcIIUVIIII J.
Let us all look to our roads. and
study out the best method OF improv-
ing them. There ought to be some
crystalization OF sentiment regarding
the proper method OF making them
and caring for them. During the last
three sessions OF the general assem-
bly,. the question uppermost in the
minds Of the Iowa legislators was the
improvement Of Iowa roads. yet in
each session there were almost as
many cures for the evil as there were
members in the legislature. There is
more study upon that question now
than any other before the state. and
out OF the agitation there ought to
come practical management that shall
in some way give US good roads in
every section Of the state.

Hawkeyes to spend more than they

who do not go now-and some OF those
who are in motion-were in California
or the south during the winter
months. And tens Of thousands Of
them. when not holding round trip
tickets, are touring in their cars. All
those who are not going somewhere
are lamenting their unhappy lot. The
railway coaches are crowded: so are
the resort hotels from the largest to

THE IMPORTANT THING.

mt Vernon Recordl.
The Iowa City Republican Is exer-
c!sed because Of the fact that the
Rock Island is not double tracked
across iowa. Were 1t not for the poll
ticians, and the fact that they passed
laws that prevented the Rock Island
from selling additional bonds the road
would now be double tracked The
Republican overlooks the fact that the
most important thing in the world is
not that the Rock Island be double
tracked. It is doubtless fact that IL
the people Of Iowa would allow any
corporation, or any person, to steal
few millions that corporation or per-
son would be willing to put part OF
the money back where 1t would do the
people some good. If all the roads were
allowed to sell stocks and bonds to an
unlimited extent to a gullible public
the roads undoubtedly would put some
OF the money back In the roads. In
cidently. the manipulators Of the roads
would put some more of the money
down in their pockets. In the case of
the Rock Island. It has already been
highly overca pitalized For years 1t
has been in the hands Of stock jugglers
whose only business was to make
money out or tile STOCKS. J Ills Noull
not be important were it not for the
fact that the people will be expected
to paw dividends on this stock that has
no added value behind it. So in this
case while it may be unsa tisfactOry
for the people Of Iowa City to live on
a trunk line that is not double-tr track
ed. It is much more important for the
people OF the country to call halt.
and bring the Rock Island. as we'll as
the other roads, down on business
basis

Colonel Young in his Waterloo ad-
