Politics For College Men.

The candidacy Of Woodrow Wilson
for President, coming as he does al
most directly from the head of Prince
ton University, has drawn college men
into politics unusual numbers. This
is a good thing. 1t is high time that
the trained brains and moral stand
ard of university men be injected IN
to our statecraft. College men are
being used proftably in every other
activity, why not in the fundamental
business of government?
For this reason, and for the added
one that Virginia more than almost
any state in the Union needs new
blood and new ideals, we are glad to
welcome the newly formed Woodrow
Wilson College Mems League OF Vir-
ginia. Such an organization can do
fine work now toward electing Will
son and Marshall and it can secure
much valuable training in politics
and much impetus toward the study
OF modern governmental problems. 1t
is a strange and even alarming fact
that Virginia has not in the past few
years developed any example of the
modern school of brilliant young uni
versity politicians, filled with ideals
of service and reform. Other states
have brought out young, energetic.
idealistic leaders, whose aim was to
earn honor and just reward by dcvot-
ing their talents and education to
helping the people solve their grave
problems. But can a single Young
statesman of this fine type be found
in Virginia?
It has not always been that Virginia
has to apologize for her lack of great
leaders. Her statesmen not only scrv-
ed the Commonwealth of Virginia.
but were the seers and builders OF the
nation. Can anybody accuse Virgil
MIA of leading now?
Therefore, those who dream OF re-
turn of her ancient glory see IL this
movement of the young man into pol
tiles a sign Of hope. Let the universe
ties and the colleges give once
more of their finest flower, inspired
with noble ideals of service and strict
standards Of personal character. Let
them be trained in the law and eco
Monies, in histroy and oratory, Ia phi
losophy and common sense. Let them
feel that their alma mater expects
them to return her gifts by aiding
in the uplift of all the people.
Until our schools do produce young
leaders they have not fulfilled their
duty. The work is waiting to be done
May the election Of Professor Will
son be a call to college men to an
swer the needs of the times'-}ich-

We are inclined to accept the same
view of the New York Times that II
Zelip was actually an important wit
ness in the case the prosecution would
have had him detained and guarded
from danger. 1t is admitted, however,
that the same agencies which COM
nassed the murder of Rosenthal may
have been instrumental in accom-
plishing the killing Of Zelig, but this
is as yet mere conjecture, unsus-
tanned by evidence.
On the whole the bold series OF
homicides in a well-policed city indi-
cate that its population is not SO
highly civilized as one might sup
pose. and that human life is as cheap
in the great city as in the wilds OF
kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia

THE ROSENTHAL AND ZELIG
MURDERS.

The great Becker trial is on in New
York and the public will soon see the
truth evolved from the mass Of ru
mors and contradictions and yellow
publications that have confused the
average man and left in doubt what
to believe Becker is a police lieu
tenant under indictment for having
procured the killing of gambler
named Rosenthal, who was murdered
between midnight and dawn by a
man or several men in an automobile,
just as the victim emerged from the
Hotel Metropole. "The gun-men,' the
actual criminals who occupied the
motor-car and made 4 getaway at
the time have been rounded up and
will be tried unless they elect to turn
states evidence and plead guilty.
= The charge is that Becker, a po-
lice lieutenants had long been lcvying
tribute from the gamblers and that
Rosenthal who had aroused the re-
sentiment of the gaming fraternity
because he had informed on them, was
instrumental in procuring the mur-
dsr of Rosenthal. who could have
given damning testimony against
Becker and ether police officers OF
the downtown district. Much has
been printed purporting to show that
Becker inspired the murder and actu-
ally secured the desperate criminals
who actually fired the fatal shots to
CONT the crime. The change IS a
difficult one to prove If Becker
were an energetic officer and really
pursued the gamblers, their animus
against him and that desire to re-
move him as an obstacle TO their law
full occupation would be clear enough.
On the other hand, the gamblers and
thugs who actually killed Rosentha!
would hardly scrupla to condemn and
convict Becker if thereby they might
insure their own safety. 1t is ques-
ton for jury to determine how
much credibility to attach to Their
evidence in this case, Weighing Their
own self-interest. their acknowledged
reputation as gamblers and thugs ana
the details Of their testimony ii
their evidence be natural and dovetail
into that of others it will be more
creditable than if it be Identical.
Eminent lawyers will examine anc
cross-eyamine the witnesses and helE
