The students Of the st. Louis Uni

for cEeating a better college spirit
They are to form an organization
which will adopt a charter similar t.
that Of a city and which will be called
"Universityville." Each department
Of the university will be ward, and
each class a precinct. The supreme
officer will be- the mayor and the
various committees will be commits.

THE RESULT IN OHIO.

President Taft is no longer the most
formidable candidate for the Republic
an nomination. His utter rout in Ohio,
his home state, speaks badly for his
future chances He is losing ground
gradually and Mr.. Roosevelt is gain
ing. Maryland, California and Ohio
have spoken for the third term can
didate. In spite of his buster and
egoism, Mr.. Roosevelt seems to be
able to muster the vote. He may not
be able to. get the nomination at the
Chicago convention, but it is certain
now that he will be in position to
make formidable fight for it.
The Ohio primaries have added to
the completely Of the situation in
the Democratic party. Governor Har-
mon has won over Wilson by large
majority in spite of the fact that
Bryan canvassed the. state for Will
son. Harmon will control the Ohio
delegation in the Baltimore conven-
ton. Wilson will have a larger fol-
lowing and Champ Clark will lead
them both. The situation will be
complex, to say the least, when the
convention opens. No one of the can
didates will go into the convention
with the nomination assured. 1t will
be a free-for-all scramble for the re-
quired two-thirds majority.
The situation in both parties is
likely to remain about as it is now
up until the time the conventions are
held. There is no knowing at pres
ent who will be the candidate Of Ell
ther party. With the Republicans,
Roosevelt's late victory seems to give
him the better chance. With the
Democrats Champ Clark Is the most
likely candidate who is in the run
ming. And yet there is so much I'M
certainty injected into the campaign
by the primaries that totally diff
ferent outcome may be the result
Mr.. Roosevelt has said that there
will be no compromise candidate.
From which it may be inferred that
he expects to run whether he gets the
nomination In the Chicago conven-
tion or not. If he does become a
candidate either by the choice of the
convention or as an independent as
pirant for the support of voters Of
both parties, there can't be any doubt
but that the result will affect the Bal
timore convention. In that instance
unless Clark proves to have sufficient
support to be an easy victor on an
early ballot there will be a demand
for a popular and vigorous compro-
mise candidate and the whole coun-
try knows to whom the Democratic
party will turn for such man. Mr..
Bryan is not out of the running. The
failure of Taft to receive the support
Of his party is adding materially to
Bryan's chances Of being fourth time
candidate.

EMIGRATION LAWS.

| Not long ago the New York State
Hospital Commission issued a report
which shows that of the insane per-
! sons being cared for in the institu-
lions of that state, forty-seven per
cent are foreign-born, while only
Twenty-Five per cent of the sane pop
ulation Of the state are foreign-born.
This condition indicates that the New
York hospitals for the insane are be-
ing filled largely by an alien popula-
ton. 1t shows that many of the i'm
migrants who enter this country are
not in a fit condition to be admitted
to citizenship, and that in very many
cases they become public charges in a
brief space Of time. 1t has been esti-
mated by the commission above re-
ferred to that, no less than 5000 insane
aliens are supported by the State OF
New York at an annual public ex-
pense of $2,0O0,00o. This seems to be
a large, and needless drain.
But how remedy the difficulty? Once
foreigners have been admitted to the
country 1t is our duty to treat them
in the same humane way that we treat
our own citizens. There is no way
of solving the problem after the ad-
mission of the immigrant. The only
solution seems to be in stricter immi-
grafton laws and more ample facilities
for enforcing them. To show the in
efficiency OF the service at Ellis ISL
and the last report of the commission
er general of immigration may be
cited. This report shows that for
the year ending June, 1911, seventy
five per cent of the immigrants ar
irving in the country were certified
at Ellis Island, while only fifty-one
per cent of all mental defects, includ-
ing insanity and imbecility, were GER
titled there. The conclusion is that
the subsequent expense incurred in
taking care of detectives is due in a
large measure to lack of adequate
facilities for detecting deportable i'm
migrants who arrive in large numbers
at the port of New York.
| A bill is now before the Senate
which makes stringent provisions for
the elimination Of this evil Among other
things it provides that transporta-
ton companies who bring to this coun-
try insane persons whose condition
might have been detected before they
We're accepted for passage, shall be
fined 5000 in each instance. A fine of
5000 is also made for bringing to the
country idiots, imbeciles, epileptics or
persons affected with tuberculosis in
any form. This bill strikes at the
heart of the trouble, If 1t is passed
and enforced strictly 1t will limit the
expenses incurred in the State Of New
York in particular and in other states
in lesser degree, in providing hui
name treatment for persons who are
not only foreign born, but alien to the
country.

FIXING STANDARDS OF CULTURE

Mr., Owen Johnson, who in his re-
cent book, "Stover at YALE" pictured
life in American universities in way
that does not reflect credit on our
leading educational institutions, is at
tracing attention to himself and his
work by his list of twenty questions,
the answers to which, he says. every
university graduate should know.
These questions are divided into sew
en- groups. Six Of the groups contain
three questions each on music, archi-
lecture, religion, literature, politics
and economics, and painting. The
last group contains two general ques-
tons.
This idea of formulating set of
questions for determining who shall
and who shall not be admitted to the
aristocracy of the learned is on par
with making a list of the twenty great
est names in all history. 1t is an at
tempt to compare dimensions without
any common standard of measure
ment. Who can say that certain
doctor is greater than a certain law
yer, or vice versa? Making service
the standard for comparison does not
simplify matters, for how are we to
say that the good rendered to human
lily by discovering how to check a
certain disease is equal to or greater
than the good derived from law put
on the statute books of nation?
Presumably Mr.. Johnson's questions
are of such a general nature and such
obvious Importance that they must
appeal to all regardless of specially
or profession. And yet this is an age
of specialization. A man may be a
Newton in genius and not know the
difference between the Wagnerian
theory of opera and the old Italian,
which is Mr.. .Johnson's first question.
A man may be great lawyer or doc
tor or engineer and not know who
composed the Barbizon school of
painting and the Pre-Raphaelites. A
man may be expert in literature and
not know about the new political ex-
periments In New Zealand. A man
may be great physicist and not be
able to name ten French dramatists.
On the other hand. a man may be able
to answer the twenty questions asked
by Mr. Johnson and still not be edu-
Gated in the true sense of the word.
In a word, no single set of ques-
lions can be fair test of any mans
education, for education does not con-
sist primarily in knowing a lot Of his
torical facts. The educated man is
one who has learned to think for him.
self, and who Is in a position to ap-
ply the experience of the past along
certain line of work to the needs of
the present. A limited amount of in
tensive knowledge is better than a
broad smattering of generalities. The
man of one book is still to be feared.

until the evils of the present system

uHtA LHe evils OF Lne present SYSTEM
Of government are eliminated.
How can Ireland which, from the
poverty caused by an oppressive adj
ministration, has become practically
a depoulated nation, be said to be
united to England? Whatever union
there is can be only union by statu-
tory provision which was brought
about by the basest corruption reveal
ed in the history of any nation. There
is no real union between the two
countries now any more than there
was in the days of O'Connell. There
will be none until the demand of the
people for a government of their own
is needed and acted on favorably.
But why the continued objection to
a solution of this vexed question which
promises to be mutually beneficial to
both England and Ireland? Why for
ever delay the change that must
come before a cessation of the agi-
tation will come? The Tories know
that Ireland is misruled. They know
that the large majority of the Irish
people are clamoring for a change.
They know that the demand is justi-
fed, and yet, with obstinacy born Of
hatred, they continue to oppose The
only logical solution Of the question
that can ever be brought about.
1t has taken years to democratize
the English people. They are not all
democratic yet. 1t will take further
years to render men of the Bonar
Law type sympathetic to the prin-
ciples of democratic government. But
while that time is coming the Irish
people will not have to wait or Wor-
ry. The crisis is over. A majority
Of the people are already in favor of
Home Rule and Home Rule will soon
come even with the Tories and their
supporters clamoring against IT..
