THUS worthless fellow, Harry Thaw,
has had during the last seven years a
thousand times more publicity than any
one hundred Of the best men in the
world have received What good has
resulted from it? And how about the
harm it has done? True it has shown
up the rottenness Of so-called high
social life the power of money and the
slowness Of justice; and even now,
when Thaw is an escaped convict an
escape brought about it is generally
believed through the power Of the filthy
lucre his sister says that dear Harry
dear at any price, will go free if mon
ey and talent can accomplish it, Money
is blessing if properly handled. but
what about the talented fellows who
will thwart justice for the dollar?

THE first good word for the English
sparrow which has been heard for a
long time comes from university pro-
fessors who say that he promises to be
of service in checking the spread of the
alfalfa weevil. Wisconsin already is
deeply interested in alfalfa cultivation
and promises to become more so from
year to year, for the new fodder crop
yields excellent in this state. Wiscor-
sin farmers will feel that they cannot
afford to let harm come to a bird that
will protect the alfalfa.

with running for office keeps good
men out of politics and that the
committee should set a precedent
by relieving them of the expense.
Hal Norwood pointed out that
some of the candidates might win
votes by meeting this expense
and discredit the others for not
doing so, and that the best thing
would be for the committee to as
sess this amount in the beginning
and let it be un nierstood that it
would be all that the candidates
would be officially called upon to
spend. The section was finally
adopted in the amended form.
