Tile cALL or THE COLLEGE.

THE CiLL or THE COLLEGE.
The proposal Of the Chancellor of New
York University that q sum approx
mating S5,OO0.OOO shall be secured for
that institution this year and the ad-
ditional sum Of about $4,000 600 in the
near future is direct and husincsSlike.
There are some who may think that
college or university should wait for
the voluntary offerings If patrons or
for the requests Of decedents. Or. Brown
does not share that view but goes
straight 10 the mark with a statement
Of what the university needs and with
a request for it. In this there is prac-
ticaI wisdom, for the funds thus aC
uuired will be more available for the
real needs Of the institution than they
might he If secured through adventurous
benevolence. That is to say, they are
likely to be given for use at the discre-
ton Of the officers Of the university, or
for specific purposes suggested by them,
and not, as has too often been the case.
for objects capricioUsly chosen and not
in accord with real needs or the highest
utility.
There is no incongruity In this call.
Nothing is more usual in the business
world than the making of similar de
mands, often for purposes not compare
BILE with this In public interest. In
business affairs investments are made
with faith In coming dividends in kind.
In nbilanthropic enterprises the profits
are sought IN the good that is done or
in the honor which Is reflected upon the
community. To the credit Of New York
it may be said that the latter returns
have been esteemed no less highly than
the former. II there is no city with a
keener scent for pecuniary gain, there is
none with more generous readiness
to give for the sake Of the giving and
Of the cause.

INSTRUCT.

The Tribune is glad to see that opposi-
ton to instructins the delegates-at-large
from this state for President Taft is
diminishing and that in all probability
they will be so instructed. The over
whelming Republican sentiment Of the
state is for Mr.. Taft, as was shown at
the primaries Instruction of the dele
gates-at-large for him, the only delegates
who can be instructed under the present
system, would reflect the opinion Of the
party in the state and give the general
public satisfaction.
No reason exists why the delegates-at-
large should not be instructed. The
precedent which those opposed to in
structions sought to raise against them
proved to be without basis, for, as The
Tribune showed, delegates had been in
structed for a candidate not from this
state in the case of General Grant, and
then again virtually so instructed in the
case Of McKinley's second nomination.
If these precedents are not followed
now the public will be tempted TO be-
lieve that it is because politicians hope
to use uninstructed delegates for dicker-
ing. But the delegates sent to conven-
ton are the agents Of the public which
chooses them, not Of the politicians. One
Of the things which caused a demand for
the direct primary system was the spec
tacle of convention delegates being used
as the instruments Of bosses.

AMERICAN ACTORS.
Their Poor Quality Attributed to Un-
discriminating Public Taste.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor or The TrlDune.
Sir: When David Belasco laments the
ignorance of young men OF the stage, as
he does in an interview in to-day's Trib-
une, does he stop TO think as to the cause
OF this condition? What future does the
stage offer to the serious, thoughtful and
painstaking young man? Do the playgoing
public OF to-day care anything about the
men that Mr.. Belasco is looking for? II
they do why Is It that our stages are not
engaged in better pursuits than vaude-
vile. moving pictures and all that tends
to degrade? The people who support the
theatres are not concerned as TO what con-
stItutes an artist-their tastes run In the
line OF lobster row-cold bottles and high
hats filed by boneheads.
Mr. Belasco has always been admired by
the writer for his independence, and 1t is
TO be Iamented that some day he will have
TO leave his work to others-and when that
time comes how many managers to-day
love art for arts sake as does the genius
Belasco? Who after he is gone will cham
pIon the cause OF the struggling and youth
full actor. or offer such opportunities as
those mentioned in this article? IL Is likely
to be 'Whom do you know" not What
are your talents?" and the gentleman that

ference between criticism and construc-
ton; between being in opposition and
finding fault with the administration and
assuming responsibility for government
and doing better work. If the masses
OF the people, who too often follow lead
ers with little thought, do not always ap-
preciate this difference in advance Of
its practical demonstration it surely
should be clearly understood by the lead
ers themselves and their failure to make
allowance for it I'm their pledge making
gives adequate reason for doubling their
sincerity. Too often in politics, as well
as i'm some other things, txtravagant and
quite impossible professions and prom
Uses are made just for the sake Of at
tracing attention and securing those fol-
lowers who are generally ready to run
after any new sensation. and with the in
tention Of presently repudiating them.
There is some satisfaction in seeing those
who thus repudiate their promises them
selves repudiated by the people; but 1t
would be more profitable for the people
to weigh discreetly in advance the prom
ises which are made and the possibility
and the probability of their performance.
