IN a SpeeCN a. I pIl4eN GlSNL4St
Attorney Whitman, New York's cap
able prosecutor, declar-
He Has to ed the people select
Be Foolish. their public servants
carelessly and foolishly.
But how are they to do otherwise?
When humble voter is required to
take snap judgment on a long list of
officers ranging from councilman to
president how is he to know in each
case just what to do. If the voter
must pick out his county, district,
state and national officers all at one
time from the men who are candi-
dates is it surprising he often makes
bad selections. There may not be any
good men running. That thing has
often occurred right here in Oregon.
If the manager of big corporation
had 10 select this entire force at one
stroke of the pen and had to confine
his selections to those seeking office
how would he fare? The good man
ager does not select this men that
way. He picks his foremen or heads
OF department and has those men Sc
lect or recommend the minor en-
ployes. He does just what President
Wilson. with good business judgment,
is doing with respects to national ap-
pointments. 1t is the efficient way.
It is entirely true the people make
foolish selections of public servants
There are causes that bring such
things about. In part the cause may
be found in the natural shortcomings
Of the voter. But all the fault Is not
with the voter and it is doubtful II
even half the blame may be laid on
the shoulders Of the troubled indi-
vidual The average voter is honest
and eager TO make the best selection
possible. But he is handicapped be-
cause he has too much to do at one
time and because he is asked TO dc
impossible thing-select good mer
for places requiring technical fitness
when he has no proper means Of
Judging their fitness.
II those who accuse the voter Of in
doIence AM foollshness would CO.
operate II improving the ballot and
in taxing other sensible steps to ait
the voter il making good selections
they would render society q grea
service.
Resul.s are always IN accord with
causes.

DECISION
CAN'T Be APPEALED

Chicago, April 11.-Offending players
will be suspended in the American
league during the present season with
out the formality of a hearing as has
been the case heretofore, according to
an announcement made last night by
President B. B. Johnson.
The statement was made as a reply
to President Fultz of the Players or
ganization, who recently made a re-
quest that punishment of men elected
by umpires be withheld until their
side of the CASE was heard.
Mr.. Johnson takes the stand that 90
per cent of the suspensions melted out
are for the use of p~rofane and vicious
language, an. evil which it has re-
quired years of persistent work to re-
duce to it's present minimum. The
players contention is dismissed by the
president as being unworthy of seri-
GUS consideration because it would he
too obstructive to maintaining disci-
pine on the playing field.

On the College Campus
Interesting Notes From the Big Schools

The only ex-president in captivity
within collegiate walls is now on view
at Yale, says the Chicago Evening
Post In saying that we mean no dis
respect. but an extended examination
of recent comment in the college world
has made it plain that it is exactly
that spirit that William Howard Taft
is being received into profession ranks.
1t is not difficult to imagine that his
classes will be filled, perhaps to over
flowing, with young men seeking the
distinction of studying under a man
who has been the chief executive of
n of the greatest nations. Here is
a bit of living history, and it is a real
privilege for these young students
to obtain directly his personal point Of
view.
But we hope they will not be too
much overcome by awe to lose their
perspective. In fact it will be unfor-
tunate if they do not justify some of
Mr.. Taft's misgivings, and seek to
trip him up, metaphorically speaking.
II his logic is not thoroughly sound.
Our latest ex-president is entirely
sincere in his belief in the constitu-
ton as al infallible and inspired doc
ument which should be worshiped with
an almost religious fervor. He is
quite plain in his statement that his

Columbia Increases Scope.

Columbia university is establishing
an institute of arts and sciences which
will begin operation next fall. The
object of the new institution will be to
offer h university's educational adj
vantages to a wider constituency, in
Guiding professional and business men
and women and people of leisure and
to bring the general public into closer
relation with it's work and purposes.
To this end it has been decided to
offer, in the late afternoons and even
ings, approximately from October to
May, short series of lectures, of the
university extension type, on history,
literature. art, music, drama, ethics,
etc; addresses by distinguished states
men and educators from home and
abroad, illustrated lectures on travel,
lecture recitals on forthcoming opera,
orchestral programs, the history Of
music, etc, dramatic readings and re-
citals, and occasional dramas, authors
readings, concerts and r~ecitals by or
chestras, operate singers, and other
artists, and oratorios and chorus con-
certs by the Columbia University
Festival Chorus.

every nostrum that Is offered and Of
abandoning those foundations with
Il which our government could not
nav been, I will be thrice content"
That is the point of view in which
Mr.. Taft went down. clinging to 1t
with valiant consistency. 1t is we'll
for young men to understand it and
appreciate whatever points of value it
may have. But 1t is much to be de-
sired that they be not too much over
awed by the fact hat it's opponent
was until recently president of the
United States. Mr.. Taft's fears of the
questioning of keen young minds
ought to be justified. If there are
n logical weak points in his argu-
ment the students should thrust
through them. Mr.. Taft is waiting
for the bombardment with evident
shrinking.
But there is no doubt the young
men of Yale will be ready. The bump
of reverence is in no danger Of over
development among American youth.
Some interesting intellectual bouts
should result. and it is not certain
that Mr.. Taft's candidly expressed
fears that h students will come u
on top are altogether ill-founded.
Heave at it. gentlemen! The rest
Of the nation will act as seconds.
