DISCIPLINE AT HOBART COLLEGE
President Powell Explains an Escspade
and the Action Taken Thereon.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir The escapade OF tho three Ho-
bart students, 10 which reference is made
in your news columns OF to-day. needs an
additional word. think. from Hobart
College.
Most colleges have to deal in one way
or another with the drink problem as 1t
Immediately affects a small number OF
men. The escapadc. which resulted i'm
damage To property. but not hurt To life
or limb of any one. gave opportunity to
tho committee on discipline To perfect
our student self-government system. and
with the complete support of faculty,
alumni and students to take a higher
stand with regard To the complete elm.
nation OF tho drinking habit from our
college incidentally. We have also
brought to an end the disposition too
common In American institutions 10 al
low dances and other pleasures TO be I'M
duly prolonged into the night But In
place OF their undue prolongation we
shall without hurt TO the academic stand

the pleasurable experiences within the
proper limits OF college life. In all OF
this IL Is a pleasure TO say that not
merely do the students support the presi-
dent and faculty, but have also these
days past taken the initiative and have
in some things led the way for that
elevation of tone which no college can
ever have. however excellent its instruc-

PEACE AND TEMPERANCE
Cause. Good Enough to Endure Little
Fun.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: I am sure The Tribune Is an
advocate Of peace. Why. then, IN your
editorial to-day entitled THE Big. Rig
u and Pinie" do YOU make fun OF Mr..
Bryan's efforts after peace?
John Bright i'm ls53'5i was ridiculed by
Tcnnyson In verse. insulted by the
Thundercr" I'm prose. malgned by the
I,ords in Parliament and caricatured by
the press because he attacked the justice
and wisdom OF tho popular cry Tor war
in the Crimca. lie and Golden and few
others called for peace. Twenty years
later IL was acknowledged by all that
Bright was right.
why not give Mr.. Bryan chance 10
show what can be done to bring the ma
lions to reasonable basis In their rela-
tons?
know YOU believe in temperance. Why,
then. make Jest OF the fact that Staun-
ton. Va. has gone dry? And. speaking OF
this. why did you not give true account
OF tho great gathering on December 10 on
the steps OF the Capitol OF the delegates
of the Anti Saloon League? Your CORE
spondent In Washington wrote that there
we're two thousand In line and that half
OF them were women, the fact being that
there were two thousand men and about
ono hundred women. There are nine pro-
hibition states In the country. and 1900,
900 OF people I'm the United States are
living In villages. towns and counties that
have gone dry. II 1t were not for federal
licenses sold In towns and counties and

Extend Whitman's Power to Bag thu
Baemen

The suggestion of James W. Osborne, Governor
Glynns department investigator. that District Ator
ney Whitman be appointed a special Assistant At
torncy General for work on the graft cases ought
to set at rest all talk about "cash" between these
officials. It is a suggestion which the Governor will
do well 10 consider If he favors it, such action
cannot fail TO make easier the work OF unearthing
contractor-poician graft and landing some OF the
grafters in Jail.
While the District Attorney undoubtedly has
seered bis course so carefully that he has not yet
encountered them difficulties are bound 10 arise
some time by reason Of the laws limitations Of his
Jurisdiction. That would be overcome If he had
the statewide jurisdiction which the suggested des-
ignaton would carry with it. lie could then follow
the bagmen wherever they had been, and ques-
ton could be raised to protect the blackmaers and
political sandbaggers in whatever county they had
been operating.
1t had been expected that the Governor would
have such designation given to Mr. Osborne But
there are practical reasons as Mr. Osborne points
out. why the District Attorney should be selected
invcstigation--the detectives, assistants, process
servers and the like already engaged on the quest,
which need only be extended somewhat and backed
I'D by broader authority TO he carried TO its proper
end.
Mr. Whitman has already produced results which
show his intelligence and zeal in bagging the bag
men. Fowler. Mcclure and Mclean have led him
well on the way toward the Man Highest Up. Gov
ernor Glynn has promised TO do his utmost TO rid
the state of graft and to aid in the enforcement of
the laws. His own career has proved that he hates
a CRATER and will not truckle to any politician how
ever big and powerful. There seems TO be no way
at present in which he could better aid in the
SADIE against the grafters than by having Mr. Whit
mans authority broadened and by backing him in
every way rs he works TO put the grafters behind
the bars
