LISTEN, FRESHMAN!
Continued from page 4

Daily Sun board. Nothing in the univer-
sity will SO quickly place him in touch with
everything that is going on. 1t is the center
of the student activities of every nature.
The way seventy or eighty men will enter
competition for "The Sun" and fall by the
wayside SO rapidly that in two weeks not
more than half-dozen will be left, is the
best possible illustration of why the big mass
of men in college fail to make good there.
They fail to stick to it, and leave the re-
wards to men often of much inferior natural
ability, but possessing the essential deter
mination.
The freshman should never allow himself
to be embittered by failure to make fra
ternity. Under the very faulty system of
choosing men by snap judgment, many of
the good men are bound to be overlooked
and the inferior, superficial type chosen in
their place. 1t is a necessary evil of the sys-
tenn. If the freshman is man,-and it is
high time that he should be,-he will rise
above such things and realize their futility,
after all
Cornell is one of the very youngest of the
large universities of the country. 1t is yet
in the making. Its customs of today are to
be its traditions of tomorrow. What it
wants is leaders. 1t needs strong, decided
individualities, and gives them full play so
long as they will work thoughtfully and
quietly, yet determinedly, for its welfare.
Evening star., 1912-09-01

college is to improve himself, and there seems
to be no way OF obtaining such an amount of
good for oneself as in rubbing up against ones
fellow students in the various lines of student
activities. Not only has this its great value
in the development of the man himself, but
it may well be noted that success in college
along these lines has an actual cash value
which may be realized on at the time of grad
uation. Employers cry for him.
In choosing the particular branch that he
will follow out, a freshman should of course
consult his personal makeup as he under
stands it. If he has any athletic tendencies,
let him try himself out without any fear that
he may not be good enough. The John Paul
Joneses of the athletic world are few, and ex-
ceedingly few at Cornell. The writer has
seen thin youth running round the track
at Cornell whose efforts were almost ludi-
crous, and whose physical makeup was more
suggestive of consumption than physical
prowess. He kept going, and was graduated
in 1910 wearing Varsity "C' won as men,
ber of the Cornell cross-country team that
has won the intercollegiate championship
eleven out of the last twelve years. His case
is not an exception.
If the freshman has voice, or even very
amateursh ability on any musical instru-
ment, let him present himself without fail at
the trials of the musical clubs held at the be-
ginning of his freshman year. The dramatic
clubs also afford their opportunities for men
with inclinations along that line. His efforts
will always be met with appreciation.
The Varsity managerships have always
been among the most coveted honors among
Cornell undergraduates. If a freshman
wants one of these, let him make up his mind
that he wants it badly enough to spend more
time and energy in working for it than any
other freshman will spend, and the chances
are that he will land it.
But, if man is without any particular
natural bent for any of these things, let him
enter the competition for "The Cornell

LOCAL sHIPYARDs MENACED.

A MERICAN shipbuilding interests quite naturally
"A resent that section Of the Panama Canal Admins
traton bill which would permit foreignhuit ships
ed by Americans and engaged in foreign commerce to
work under American registry. They in that section
a serious blow at American shipbuilding and at the
wages OF the tens of thousands of men employed In
IT, With low wages and cheap material the side
of the foreign shpbulders 1t would be impossible for
the American shpbuders to compete with them In
bidding for contracts and the natural effect of the
operation Of that section of the law would be for
American shipowners to throw those contracts for
ships to yards in which the work would be done the
cheapest With American registry guaranteed to all
such oreign-buit ships under the canal adminstra-
ton law there would be no incentive, except patriotic
one to have the ships built here We think it would
be discovered that when It to the letting Of con
tracts patriotism would not result in the ship owners
losing sight Of the lowest and best bidder.
The Harlan & Hongsworth Corporation Of this
city which gives employment to 1000 persons is one
Of the first Of the big shpbulding firms TO protest
against that feature Of the law. Senator DUPONT al
ready has submitted its protest to the United States
Senate. The corporation expresses opinion that the
effect OF the enactment of the canal bill in its present
form would be that all vessels Of that class would
be built in foreign yards because cheap labor and
material would enable the foreign shpbuilders to un-
derbid the American shipbuiders who pay high wages
and who cannot obtain their material choaply as
can their foreign competitors.
Il would be a serious blow TO Wilmington were any
thing done by Congress which would ieopardize
either the work the income of the 1000 persons
employed IN that big plant on the Christiana river.
The money earned by those men circuates in all
channels Of trade here and we're 1t cut OF even in

Point is made by the Harlan & Holngsworth Cor

stimulate the trade of shipbuildng Il protests, how

PRrPARE FOR rHE TRAFFIC.

TT is hoped that the delegates appointed by the
Wilmington Board of Trade to attend the con-
vention Of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
tion on September 4 8 and 6 will attend and take
prominent part in the discussions. Our city is one
Of the largest the Atlantic seaboard and the ques
tons discussed at the convention will be Of vital in
terest to IT, That is particularly true Of the great in
land waterway from Boston to Beaufort Inlet North
Carolina. AS the Delaware river down far
Delaware City will be used part Of that water
way all the traffic between the North and the South
will pass by city. Under existing conditions
shall get little if any Of that traffic. but if the State
will convey to our city its title to the Delaware river
waterfront and if our city in conjunction with the
Federal Government will develop it, no doubt we
shall obtain our fair share of that traffic
Now is the time for public-spirited Wilmingtonians
TO with a view to getting city in a position
to share in that great volume of commerce Public
sentiment has forced the retirement OF the outrageous
plan for private and speculative exploitation of our
waterfront Their efore it is the duty of far-seeine
and patriotic wmingtonians to have that waterfront
developed for the public benefit.
Nothing is to be expected from City Councilmen who
are blind public interest but keenly alive to prt
vate interest in this regard. II anything is to b,

ADVICE TO NEGRO VOTERS.

To the Editor EVENING JOURNAL:
Sir-It does not seem to me TO be
good policy for the colored voters Of
this State to divide their votes. We
do not know what favorable or un-
favorable legislation to expect, at the
hands OF the Progressive Party. At
no one Of the meetings held for color
ed people have they made it clear as
to why we should support that party.
The Republican Party in general,
and in Wilmington in particular, has
not done all it might have done to
better our condition but it is better
to deal with one we know than one
we do not know. The State should
be saved to the Republican Party
