New Home For 1915 Students.

Although there have been various de-
lays of day or weeks aggregating in all
a month. because of the inability to Sc
cure prompt shipments Of the material tor
the building. it was declared on Tuesday
that the administration building OF Hood
College. would be under roof some time
in October This means that the dream
OF President Joseph II. Apple to the ef-
iect that the fall session of the college of
1915. would open in potion of the
group of the new college buildings at the
greater Hood College will come true.
The work on the building is progressing
rapidly. The walls on the eastern wing
have reached the second story. The en-
tire first floor of the building has been
put down and the walls OF the complete
building will soon reach the two story
height.
1t is now easy to get a general idea OF
the size and appearance Of the building,
other than that secured from the draw
ings and layout of the structure. Def.
nite shape has been given to the front
plaza. as well as TO the plaza at thehear
entrance. The building is gong to be
an unusually artistic one 1t is well
located on the college farm. and is siu-
ated commandingly on the summit of a
knoll and has fine view of the surround
ing country.

Augmenting the Meat Supply.

The government is very anxious about
the beef supply. which Is said to be very
short; so Il IS looking around to see how
TO increase il. There is no real ground
Tor alarm about this, for the increase will
come about by the people eating less of
il. and this experience will be good for
them. Meat once day. and very little
ct tine. will result in plentiful supply
aud al the same time increase the health
of the people. No one ought to eat
over ten cents worth OF meat a day; only
about what he pays for his stogies and
not near what he pays for his finer Gig
ars. II would be well II we curbed our
passions bit. both our sensual and also
our mental passions. which a meat diet
Is apt To produce. II il this thought that
prompts Us to suggest that the govern
meni pay less attention. To the cattle sta
tistics and more 10 the moral bearings
OF the subject. II would be Gar heiier
for Us all they would eat only as much
meat as would keep them healthy and
serene. Ohio State Journal

Law.hraalking Lawmakers.

The action Of Representative Wither-
spoon IN returning to the government his
salary for four days, during which he was
absent from Washington on private busi-
ness, suggests that Congress might find
fertile field for investigation into scan-
dalous abuse without going far from the
Capitol itself The law on the subject is
plain, and no one who reads il can fail to
understand that its intent is that Con.
gresham shall be paid while attending
to their duties and that deductions from
their salaries shall be made when they
are absent without the excuse that they
are attending to public business. But in
practice public business is construed
to mean anything in which public serv-
ant may be interested.
There is no offense Of big business that
is worse in morals than this deliberate
evasion of the statute by members of
Congress. II is aside from the question
to argue that Congressman should not
be held to the grindstone as If he were
farm hand, ior the law, passed by Con-
gress itself. regulates his pay and the con-
ditions unper which he shall and shall
notreceive it. In default of formal inc
vestigation. if some Jealous economist
should compile list of the distinguished
members who have been absent from
Washington during the past six months
for large part of the time, and compute
the amount OF unearned salary which
they have not turned back into the public
treasury.it would make interesting and
instructive reading. Philadelphia Led

Tipping is a Feudal Survival.

Tipping is plainly survival of the
feudal relation, long before the humber
men had risen from the condition Of
status to tina. of contract, when fixed
pay in the ordinary sense, was all un-
known, and where the relation between
servant and master was one of fostensibe
voluntary service. and voluntary support
was Tor life. and in its best aspect was a
relation Of mutual dependence and kind.
ness. Then the spasmodic payment was.
as tips are now, essentialto the upper
mans dignity, and very especially TO the
dignity oi his visitor. This feudal rela-
ton survives in England today to such
an extent that poor men refrain from
visiting their rich relations because OF
the tips. In the great country houses the
tips are expected to be in gold, at least
we were told several years ago. And in
England and out OF it. Don Ceasar's be-
stowal of his last shilling on the man who
had served him still thrills the audience.

Some Truth, Anyway.

Quite a number of persons, some Of
them parents and some of them teach
ers, will agree with that Los Angeles
superintendent who told the educational
convention that algebra has caused many
girls to lose their souls.
We take It that he did not mean just
exactly that in the most literal way.
We fancy that he was simply giving
forcible expression to truth which has
been slowly impressing itself on the
minds Of manv for some time. 1t is that
truth and its recognition which are at the
basis of the clamor for more practical
instruction and which have resulted in
the establishment of technical schools
and those further advanced schools
wherein the boys and girls are taught
vocations.
DR.. Francis puts it is this way: I'VE
are dragging out the souls Of our boys
and girls by telling them to learn so
manv pages dav Of matter that means
nothing TO them in practical life. ;" The
applause which greeted this assertion
was pretty strong evidence that the
educators themselves have come to an
agreement on this point. Buffalo Ex-

A Change Made in the Fireman
at the Jail.

The Board OF County Commissioners,
at a secret meeting held on Monday
afternoon. July 10th. decided to notify
Jesse Hann. the fireman at the Jail, that
his services will not be required after
July 3Ist. 1t was also stated at the Of
fee of the Board OF County Commits
sioners. that while Mr.. Ham is Repub-
hcan. vet his dismissal was not made on
this account but because he had hired
negro TO do the firing at the Jail, while
he put IN his time huckstering. IL is
stated that this practice has continued
for some time and the County Commits
sioners felt that il was time to call halt.
Following the decision Of the board
to terminate Mr.. Hann's service with the
county. the board appointed Jesse p.
Schell, a Democrat, as the fireman at
the Jail, his term OF service TO begin on
August Ist
The Board of County Commissioners
also asked the newspapers To correct the
report rhat Miss Dolly HenClrv. head
nurse at Montevue. had been asked 10
resign. They stated that Miss Hendry
more than a week ago gave her resigna.
ton to the board voluntarily. and that It
had been voted upon and accepted.
They stated that Miss Hendry's services
at Montevue were eminentlv satisfactory
and they sincerely regret that any re.
port has gone out that she was asked 10
resign. She leaves on August Ist
The board did ask Charles Speak
warden at Montevue 10 resign, but the
County Commissioners stated that this
was done IN order to reduce the number
of wardens at the institution. and not
because there was any charge against
him.
1t was also stated at the Office of the
County Commissioners that more posi-
lions at Montevue may be discontinued.
1t was stated that there are now only
about hall as MANY people to be cared
for, as were quartered there about year
ago. and said that consequently less at
tendants are required. The Board of
County Commissioners announced their
intention Of conducting Montevue as
economically as possible.

senger. and Clyde Young, tramp boss.
