TO VOTERS IN THE WEST.
Many Strange Ideas Presented for
Their Consideration.

From the Philadelphia RecUrd
In some of those Western cities which
have taken up all the new-fangled ideas
Of popular government some queer ideas
are presented to the voters for consid-
Grafton at the polls.
In Des Moines. Iowa, we read that at
an election held there for members OF
the school board a proposition to teach
sociology in the schools was overwelm-
ingly defeated. At the same time the
people voted in favor of using school
buildings for public meetings and keep
ing the school year at thirty-eight weeks,
as at present. In all these matters the
voters seem TO have acted with common
sense, but such questions would appear
properly to come within the province of
the local school authorities.
1t is difficult TO imagine an Eastern
city taking a popular vote on the ques-
tion of teaching sexology in the public
schools.

May Extend Human Life.

From the Savannah News
1t has passed into a proverb that a
man is only as old as his arteries. Sup
pose it were to come about that the sur
geons could patch arteries as readily as
plambers patch lead pipes, would that
mean perpetual youth? In New York
a surgeon has made a patch in an artery
near the heart. A practically new wall
was built And the patient Is said to be
doing finely

WIN Leave Polite, Out.

Prom the Boston Transcript
The Chicago committee Of 100 Of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
advances the sound and seasonable
proposition that political rallies and
discussions on Sunday will constitute
no necessary or decent part OF the
coming campaign. 1t may be safely
said without any partisan application
that a candidate who sets out to boil
ster his cause by Sunday meetings only
weakens 1t in the estimation of right
thinking people.

from any source. Reports from both

various colleges have finished the
work of enrolling students, except as
they come in gradually during the
year. The number matriculated is
about a hundred in excess Of that of
the corresponding time last session,
and this greatly increased roll is com
posed of as fine a lot of young men
as have ever attended the Uni
versity
The authorities are particularly well
pleased because a comparatively large
number Of these students are prepared
for advanced work, the attendance in
the college of law, for instance, show
ing great gain over last year, and
the graduate school having eight can
didates for the masters degree.
The students have settled down to
work, their various activities have
been set in motion and the University
is in full operation. OF the outside
activities football is perhaps the most
discussed, and again the students are
confident that Florida has the cham
pion eleven of the state and perhaps
other states. At an enthusiastic gath
ering of the Athletic Association held
during the week stirring speeches
were made by President Murphree,
Coach Pyle and Student Phipps. A
committee was appointed to revise and

port. The name Alligator" was adopt
