DR.. d. X. Pearsons. formerly alder.
man from the First ward of Chicago,
Is dead at the age of 92 years.
DR.. Pearsons was a man Of good
intentions and Of blameless life. But
when he gave away fortune Of six
millions Of dollars to number OF
cold. clammy colleges he did nothing
for humanity.
The college mania is more firmly
rooted In the United States than In
any country in the world and has been
more productive OF discomfort than
any other known cause. The tendency
of colleges to keep men at school
until they are verging upon middle
life is probably one reason why there
are so few college graduates among
successful men outside Of profession.
al baseball players and foreign mis-.
sionaries.
There are numbers of orphan asy.
lums, hospitals and technical and In.
dustrial training schools which would
have appreciated help and In turn
would have conferred real benefits
upon the public had DR.. Pearson's mil.
lions been given to them.
We are afraid that the good Doctors
memory will not be long hOnored by
the colleges he was so generous to.
a college 10 an institution with a
lively appreciation of favors to be
received. Hope Is its watchword and
prey its present occupation.
There are some exception to this
rule as the Mccormick family, per.
haps. might testify. The benefactor
of a college Is sometimes remembered
by its faculty or alumni, when he
leaves great wealth to his surviving
relatives. Then the faculty or alumni
frequently and thoughtfully call their
children after the benefactOr or his
heirs and write the latter that they
are at all times admirers OF the de-
ceased, the old flag and an appropria'
ton.

SPARE THE CHILDREN.

The feeling Is growing that the
sooner all faddist members are
dropped from the Board Of Education
the better.
II will be remembered that one Of
these alleged faddists was credited
with having started the "vice commits.
sion which did some good to expos.
Ing police rascality.
But the public also recollects that
when this commission discovered that
much OF the property devoted to i'm.
moral uses was owned by leading
citizens" the names OF the leading
citizens" violating the laws both of
the state and OF common decency
were carefully suppressed.
This faddst member next an.
nounced that in his opinion no mar.
riage ceremonies should be performed
until the physical fitness OF candi.
dates for matrlmony was passed upon
by medical authority. AS this opinion
does not affect the public school sys.
TEN in any way the member in ques'
ton Is entitled to hold to 1t and air
IL TO his hearts content.
But when, as member OF the
board of education, the worthy faddist
proposes that lectures on sexual by
giene" be delivered to the pupils In
the public schools, he rightfully draws
down upon himself the criticism OF
the public whose servant he Is sup
posed to be.
This monstrous proposition should
be the signal for the dropping OF al
faddists from the school board.
It's adoption would certainly insure
a general withdrawal Of pupils-fron
the schools by thinking parents.
Many newspapers which have re
spect for their readers have loni
since refused to print no-cure.no-pa.
advertisements in their columns ant
in all. except the most advanced fad
dist dailles, advertisements dealing
with sex hygiene" are rejected TO
publication,
Are the public schools to be opene
10 this sort of literature?

POOLING THE PUBLIC.

The awful Titanic disaster was bad
enough in itself, but the columns OF
falsehood telegraphed from New York
to the newspapers OF the country just
after the catastrophe occurred estab-
lished record for unreiability that
Is a tribute to the Americans love OF
gush.
Outside Of the dreadful fact Of the
loss of over 1900 lives all of the first
accounts sent broadcast were manu-
featured out OF whole cloth--or some
drug or other stimulant. The weird
story of the brass band on the boat
playing a hymn while the hundreds
went TO their death was eagerly swal'
lowed by the sentimental public and
was the theme of preachers and the
pride of the cartoonist, 1t was base
less fabrication as everyone who has
read the testimony Of eye Witnesses
knows by this time. Most OF the poor
fellows in the brass band were killed,
when the ship was struck, as their
berths were on the forward part OF
the boat which was crushed at the
first impact. Then there was the
story OF the last words OF the captain
OF the ship These aroused the head

1t goes to show that after all
fighting is a trade. The fighter
who is born, and not made, is a

In the light of what is happen

Jack O'Brien and Jack Johnson

Il can lick any man who has

Champion Johnson, when asked at

which suggested that Johnson con-
sidered Pal8er an easy mark, but
felt that the big Iowan would have
to be coddled along a bit further

The trouble with white hopes Is
that they are exploited mainly on
their dimensions, and before they
have accomplished anything to
speak of. Size and strength and tn
power to smite are merely funda-
mental qualities for a cub heavy
weight They are next to useless
until he has acquired a ring edu-
cation, which. during almost any
generation of pugilists, is a hard
thing to acquire.
The woods are full Of men who,
while they lack real championship
requirements, are plenty good
enough to shatter the dreams of
the hopes. A dozen years ago Joe
Choynski Kid Mccoy and a few
others were the watch dogs and

vision. Today we have Jim Flynn

They are hard fellows to get by.
A beating by one of them has a
double effect inasmuch as it sets a
novice back and at the same time
discourages him. This is made ap-

Before he tackled Jim Flynn there
was no such word as fail In the
bright lexicon of the stalwart
Oklahoman. Since then he has
been a mark for every man ne

ARTHUR MADDOX TO HELP
COACH GEORGIA ELEVEN

ATHENS, GA, Aug. 19.-Although it
has not been officially announced, the
news has leaked out here that Arthur
Maddox for four years a member of
the University of Georgia football team,
has been engaged as assistant coach
for the coming year.
This news will be heard with much
pleasure by the students and alumni of
the institution, as the big tackle was
one of the most popular men that ever
played a Georgia, and during his
course at the institution was most aC-
tive in all phases Of college life
Due to the large number Of men that
turn out for football and the amount of
work needed to whip the new material
into line. an assistant coach is an abso-
lutte necessity, and in Maddox local
supporters of athletics feel that the
light man has been secured for the
place.
