sNeltcH UNIVERSITIES.

II is quite generally assumed that
English collegiate education lags
behind American. A knowledge OF
the exact facts about the matter Is
of some practical value. therefore. es-
pecially because oxford and Cam
bridge are not the only centers OF
learning in England Years ago a
movement began TO founs in the prin-
cipal cities Institutions having char
acter leading to vocational efficiency;
and today London. Liverpool, Man
chester, Birmingham. Leeds, Sheffield
and Bristol all possess such centers
OF modern equipment. In each case
the founders and heads of the move
ment have aimed TO give the estab-
fishment special quality Of attrac-
ton in the eyes Of the locality. and
so the colleges and universities have
been developed with the aid OF the
small givers AS the expense OF at

from the first, the cities and their
surrounding towns are able to cner
a college education TO almost anybody
who wishes 1t. Thus the situation IS
apparently more favorable to students
than the college system in this ooun-
try. says the Providence Jonrnal
When a young man or young woman
wishes an education, he or she does
not have to contemplate attending an
institution whose courses are design
ed especially for the whole length ana
breadth of the country. Such a cur.
riculum offers itself, but only along
with the more practical one which
the life OF the local community sus-
gests.

legs and apparently to every Joint ia

There was a stiffness In her neck,
which she could hardly bend sideways

WARNS ILLINOIS
ON INITIATIVE
Harold M. Sawyer, Portland Law.
yer. Asserts Law Creates
Rule by a Small Minor
ity in Oregon.
SIMILAR PROPOSAL HERE
I. & r, Measure Urged by Springfield
Lobby Gives Point to Warning.

Chicago. Ill-"The people Of Illinois
should not look to Oregon for an eX-
ample of the initiative and referen-
dunn They really should look to Ore
gon for a warning"
This Is the warning brought by liar-
old NJ. Sawyer, one of the leading at
torneys on the Pacific Coast He de-
clared that the initiative. originally
intended to supplement the functions
of the state legislature. has super
seeded that law-making body and has
placed power in the hands OF a very
small minority.
Mr.. Sawyer. who came to Chicago
Rosenthal on a business matter, de-
nounced In strong terms the PROPOSE
ton as now in force in the western
state. and similar in its essential fea-
lures to the proposed constitutional
amendment urged BY a strong lobby
at Springfield, Ill.
Nearly Forty Laws Submitted,
an Oregon he said, 1T isn't a
question of how 10 dispose Of the ini-
tiative and referendum. II is a ques-
ton OF how to live with It. Any dema-
gogue by diligence may force on the
ballot anything he pleases, whether
it is sound or not Last November
there were between thirty ard forty
measures to be voted on that were
perplexing to the voters.
With each proposed bill TO be voted
on under the initiative there are
pamphlets containing arguments for
and against The people fail to read
these. however. and thus are called
upon to pass laws which are very per.
picking and of which they are not sut-
ficiently we'll posted to Judge.
Signatures at a Price,
Another objection to the initiative
is the ease OF putting into motion a
proposed law. In Oregon men are em-
ployed to procure signatures to the
petition that placed the bill on the
ballot. These signatures should be re-
| ceived at court houses.
I Then in voting upon the measure
4 the minority rules A decision is made
/ by the majority Of those voting on
/ the question. not by majority Of the
voters at the polls. In this way a
voter who fails to cast his ballot ST.
lently favors the proposition The
doubtful voter either votes mo" or
shirks the problem It is almost a
/ hopeless task to limit the initiative in
! Oregon.
Dangers, But No Vital Gain.
There has been plenty Of Iegisla-
ton under the initiative. but none of
it Is vital The people can bring up
measures at election after election,
no matter how often they have been
defeated One or two elections should
elapse before the same question
should be submitted"
! Declaring the referendum to be just
as dangerous and detrimental. Attor
nev Sawyer cited the use Of the refer
endum in Oregon by which the State
University was deprived Of its appro
priation for periods of eighteen
months on two different occasions.

HE shot down the stairs like a

This is the kind OF metaphor that
Prof. Barrett Wendell, who has writ
ten a very good book on English COM
position, would condemn A flying
squirrel does not shoot down the
stairs. The purpose was to give one
a vivid idea OF how the man looked
when he was falling But as no one
ever sew a flying squirrel telling

a flying squirrel in any other enforced
or voluntary exercise, the figure did
not help Now, II one wishes TO de-
scribe flying squirrel and should
say tina. It looked like person fall
Ing down stairs. the description might
not be accurate, but the literary style
would be good For many persons
have seen a child fall down stairs.
Admittedly. the smile like a flying
squirrel has a bizarre, "up-and.at-
'em" manner that is rather taking In
modern story writing Yet it's use
affords a good example OF how not
to do it."

DOGS EYE Is CLEAR AND
HIS TAIL STEADY NOW

Of Billy Boyce. of the revenue cutter
who recently "got religion" and as a
part OF his work set out to reform
the dog. Bum had a strong taste for
beer and being favorite in shipping
circles often reeled unsteadily down
the gang plank after night out
Bum was also sadly addicted to the
tobacco habit. Some days he was
known to chew half plug If he could
get 1t and had pipe which he car
ried around In his mouth although 1t
was never lighted All of that is pass
ed now, however. Bum has not had
drink in days and to the best OF
Boyce's knowledge he hasn't had q
chew. If Bum can worry over the
reform wave through the dog days
Boyce said he believed the danger OF
his young life being sacrificed to rum
and nicotine would be avoided.
