THE CAMPUS

The work Of landscaping the
university campus in accordance
with the plans prepared at the
expense Of Clarence Mackay is
going on rapidly and the campus
is becoming an attractive and
beautiful spot. There are a
number Uf men at work terracing
the lawns facing on Ninth street
ar d setting our trees on that part
of the campus in front of
Manzanita hall, while other are
working on the lawns in other
parts of the grounds.
At the present time more men
are at work draining the big pond
on the campus SO that its bottom
may be lined with clay to prevent
seepage, but il is expected that all
this work will be completed by
commencement when the campus
will pres mt very attractive
appearance and show q great
transformation within years
time.
The work on. the Mechanical
building is nearing completion
and new machinery is being
installed. This building will
be ready for the students of next
year. Gazette.

joyous songs; the springy, exultant
steps their path bathed in sunlight

through the hot MONDAY, no

grown still and the night wind
sweeping up from the depths of

But through the silence there
come whispers of a land beyond

with the love songs of bright

1t is surely, the very irony of
circumstance with couples the
names of the Alabama and the
Kearsage among the twelve Ameri-
can battleships which the secretary
of the navy has reported to con-
gress as no longer to be regarded
as available for TIE first line of
battle. and necessary to be re-
placed by 1920. Not far short of
half a century has passed since
that famous Sunday morning in
June almost as famous in its
assistance to the making of history
as another June Sunday of close
upon half a century before which
witnessed Waterloo when the
Federal war steamer Kearsage
fought and sank the Confederate
cruiser Alabama in the roads off
Cherbourg. The thrilling story of
the fight was in all mems mouths
for years afterward; and the
Alabama, though'under the waves,
proved as perilous a craft for this
country for long subsequently as
she had doneS when afioat, to the
northern states. The only good
that resulted from her existence,
indeed, was to afford the first
effective chance of proving the
value of international arbitration.

PALACE STILL STANDS EMPTY
Erected In 1902 for French Audit De-
partment, Red Tape Has Kept It
Unoccupied.

The Paris Matin tells a curious
story of French government red tapo.
1t says that in 1902 the government
decided to create a special audit de-
partment, and list of nominations to
the various posts was drawn up. An
aged reservist was appointed con-
cierge of new building erected for
the department In the Rue Cambon.
He was told to take charge at once.
The building was not quite finished,
but within month or two everything
would be in order. Proudly the re-
servist took up his quarters in the
vast unfinished palace. For days he
walked through the immense building
without seeing another human being.
Fortunately he had taken the precau-
ton to bring with him kitten and a
canary. For two years he saw no
one and heard nothing, although he
received his monthly salary with mill
tary punctuality. In 1905 the architect
rushed In and breathlessly remarked
that little furniture would be brought
into the building and 1t would then
Immediately become a busy hive. The
kitten had become a gray-haired and
tired-looking cat when, in 1908 the
concierge, wearied by the strain of
waiting, complained to the department
heads. He was soothed by a promise
that everything would soon be right
Finally his patience came to an end,
and he resigned his position. The
empty palace, which was erected at q
cost of s1,20O,O00, is still awaiting one
or two slight alterations.

W|NGF|ELD QUITS JARB|DGE

Stories OF a rather disheartening
nature have been coming out of
Jarbidge for some time. The
following from the Ely Expositor
of March z only confirms them.
However, it is hoped that tie
opening of spring will bring
brighter days to Jarbidge which
was at first built up on the dis
covery of phenomenal highgrade,
but has later settled down on the
firmer foundation of possessing
extensive ore bodies of good
milling values, with unsurpassed
water and timber at hand. The
Expositor says:
"A private letter received from
Jarbidge, dated March 8. states
the only properties in the camp
that we're working were the
Success and the Buster mines on
which George Wingfield held
options. 1t is later reported from
other sources that since the date
Of the letter payment was due
on the properties and that Wing
field has decided not to take them.
He is understood to have paid
something like $4,000 on the
purchase price and to have ex-
pended large sum of money in
development but without proving
the proper ty to lie of sufficient
value to warrant the completion
of the deal. His chief engineer,
Siebert, was in Jarbidge for two
days this month leaving there for
Twin Falls on the date the letter
wes written. If it is fact that
Wingfield has withdrawn from the
camp, the expected boom that was
looked for this spring will not
materialize.

before it will prove profitable.
They are reported to have large
amount of $12 ore blocked out

"Miners employed by the Pavlak
Jarbidge company have filed liens
on the property to seecur their
pay that is past due. The CON-
pany is reported to owe 100000
for wages. The poor crushing
process in the mill is said to be
responsible for the failure of this
company to make good.

and cold and thirst and hardships
are added as assistants; when to
these generous natures feel the
pangs as one hope after another

book scholar give such men any
instruction to much interest them?
When a great calm for a long
time spreads its winding sheet
about a portion of the earth,
when the sun beats down the world
and tho air becomes fetid; then
suddenly the elements arouse
themselves and call up a cyclone
or hurricane to clear the air,
which in its track leaves trail
covered with the wreck Of forests
and homes and sometimes dead
men and amin ais. But the air is
purified. Men who live close to
nature take on some of its moods.
What wonder, then, if sometimes
sections of this old band would
suddenly arouse themselves and
paint things crimson give up to
excuses and perpetrate episodes
not to be approx ed by any Sunday
school society in the world.

the atmosphere.

of the native sons Of California and

youth was about to fall off the

any sorrow to them they hid it in
their own hearts, but every morn
ing as they rose from their rude
couches they felt the little fingers
that were not to be tuggin9 at
their garments, and what wonder
that when they came upon children
they spoiled them?
What deeds of valor they per-
fored! What noiseless charities
they bestowed? What self abnega-
ton attended their lives! What
splendid industrial triumphs they
wrought when they were obliged
to adjust means to ends, and from
the impossible wiring victory!
There were no place in their
ranks for braggarts or pretenders,

PRESIDENT TAFT ON SOCIALISM

I'm the consideration OF economic
theories we are prone TO become lost
in distractions, some being carried "a
surprising lengths by the impetus OF
brought to a sudden standstill by the
memorable mandates of hard common
sense. But there are few of US who
need to theoriZe about the character
istics of human nature, or who have
not learned by sad personal expert
ence its frailties and its defects. and
the application of the knowledge
gained from actual experience mus
always prove the severest test OF the
socialistic hypothesis that a political
ly created committee or commission
can prescribe with justice the rates
of compensation for human labor
Such a committee or commission
must be the creature of the majority
of the voters, and until, or unless. the
majority of the voters shall become
equaliZed in their earning capacity.
such a committee can only do Justice
The earning capacity of the ma
jority will always be far below that
of the exceptionally energetic and pro-
ficient. while the tendency OF such %
committee must always be toward an
equalization of compensation unit, a)-
sence of exceptional reward for eNcea
tional service would sound the death
knell of human progress The social
revolution which is the Ultima Thule
of the socialist will be possible only
after human nature shall itself have
been revolutionized."

ANOTHER WITNESS

Harper's Weekly has had no candi-
date this year except Woodrow Will
son; in a measure it may be held re-
sponsible for his appearance as can
didate. Thus it cannot be said of
Harpers' as of the Times Union, that
its advice to Governor Wilson is the
revival of an early prejudice against
his nomination" and yet Harper's
Weekly now says:
THE midst OF a great campaign is
no time and a critical state is no place
onism through the snubbing of indi-
Dix's denomination would endanger
the national ticket he has a perfect
right to say so, and perhaps should
say so, as in duty bound, frankly and
manfully But there is no reason
why a presidential candidate should
permit himself to be dragged into
factional quarrels at all, either to
help local aspirant or to crafty i'm
portant newspapers. When it comes
TO campaign management, Murphy
does not seem to hold a complete mo-
nopoly of what the World calls stu
pidity"
Perhaps the objection on the ground
of eXpediency will be more effective
but We insist that the opposing priu-
ciple should be considered. Local
self-goyerument is an American prir-
ciple as we'll as a democratic one-it
was because our forefathers insisted
on local government that the nation
was created, and it has been embed
ded in the foundations of the consti-
tuition. The people of New York
should be allowed to choose their gov
ernor, and it is none of our business
if the democrats of the state allow
themselves to be compelled by boss.
A democratic leader may advise the
voters that a certain choice would
be unwise, but the national committee
has never been vested with authority
to put local tickets in the field Meth
er can a national ticket dictate to the
people of a state without tearing the
democratic uniform from his shout
ders. Since our opponents have gone
so far in this direction we should be
doubly careful to refuse even the APP
pearance of evil-Times-U Union.

PUBLICITY FOR NEWSPAPERS

The World believes that the own
arship of newspapers should be a
matter of public record.
1t believes that the Indebtedness Of
newspapers should be a matter Of
public record.
1t believes that the circulation OF
newspapers should be a matter OF
public record.
1t believes that all paid advertising
should be marked advertising.
Newspapers are not private enter
prises. They are great agencies Of
government, often more powerful
than the regularly established agen-
cies of government. They hold great
privileges and great franchises, and
their responsibility should extend far
beyond the printed word The pub
lie is therefore entitled to all reason
able information as to their operation
and control
We are opposed to the newspaper
law sneaked through congress as a
rider to the postoffice bill, only be-
cause we believe that this matter
has no legitimate relation to the pos
tai service and that the government 5
inquisitorial powers over users of the
United States mail should not be ex-
tended. The danger is too apparent.
The freedom of the press should nev-
er be directly or indirectly at the
mercy of a centralized national gov
eminent. Knowing what one Roose-
welt tried to do in the Panama case,
it is easy to guess what another
Roosevelt might undertake to do #

partment had power to exclude news
papers from the mails

and rightfully be demanded by each

licity that thisfederal statute seeks
TO obtain.-World
