DENVER UNIVERSITY GETS
BOOST.

Denver university is to be congra-
tulatsd upon the success which has at
tended the completion of an endow-
ment fund of 100000, for which
scores of residents of Denver have
been working for the last three weeks.
By raising this fund of 5000 900 the
university is assured the sum of $780,
900 additional from the general edu-
cation board. This, with SAL 900
which has been given outside Denver,
will make the total sum for the pres
ent campaign s341,0OO. The univer-
sity has set its mark at an endow-
ment of 100000, and while the pres
ent campaign has been brought to a
close, the organization will be con-
tinued and next fall it is hoped to
secure the additional 100000 to make
up the half million dollars.
The trustees of Denver university
have reason for great qualification
over the outlook. They were able to
secure pledges in the sum of 100000
at a most unpropitious time. If things
brighten up in business way in the
country and in Denver, there should
be no difficulty in getting the addi-
tional $160,0O0 this fall.-Colorado

BEATING JOHN BARLEYcoRN.

A year ago Jack London put out
a book of personal recollections on
the subject of John Barleycorn," and
it is such mastery temperance lee
ture that the wonder is prohibition
lists do not give it the widest distribu-
ton. No heavy drinker that the writ
er has ever talked with concerning
this book but admits that London has
described his own experiences. Lon
don's argument is against ever learn
ing to drink. He was thoroughly non-
alcoholic, and it took years of prelim-
mary drinking for sociability before
he drank because his system had be-
come poisoned and demanded the
stimulant.
With relentless stroke London de-
stroys the boasting Of the man who
says he can quit whenever he wants
to and who proves it by stopping for
a few days or weeks. With frank
ness and truth, he admits that he
would not want to again live through
the scenes of his life, meeting the
same people and knowing what he
knows of conviviality because of the
flowing bowl, without himself drink
ing. But he argues that if he had
never learned to drink he would not
have known these things and would
have missed nothing of the pleasure
London reasons that the coming
generation must not have its liquors
handy, and thus it will avoid alcoholic
poisoning. So he casts his lot with
prohibition, although still a drinker

Annthar ureat modern steams

Another great modern steamship
has gone down under circumstances
so different from the sinking of the
Titanic that there is hardly a COM
parison. But it proves that perfect
safety at sea is not reached by the
great liners, and there are future i'm
provements for which to strive. The
unsinkable ship. is still an irridescent
dream, and likely will remain so, but
improved methods of avoiding colli-
sions will be devised, and better life
saving equipment. The human factor
will always figure, and there will be
accidents, unavoidable, or caused by
carelessness. But the sea is safer
than it used to be; it will be safe in

CONFIDING IN THE pIrBJJc

One criticism that is justly made
of President Wilson is because of his
failure to take the people of the
country into his confidence in mat
ters in which they are vitality inter-
ested and concerning affairs on which
they have right to know. For in.
stance, we have the spectacle of a
president reversing his own position
taken in a public way, and demanding
change in policy by congress for
the reason that "unless it is granted
in ungrudging measure" he will not
know how to deal with other ques-
tions Of greater delicacy and nearer
consequence. 1t might seem that the
president in making such q radical
departure from his former position
could have given the public some rea-
son for his action, rather than to Of
fer phrase that might mean a hun
dred different things or might mean

With the Fourth of July looming
up in the future month away, at
tention. is already being paid to max
ing the celebration safe and sane: and
experience of the past few years gives
promise of the carrying out of such
4 program. Time was, and not SO
many years ago, when the Fourth Of
July was in the same class with the
storming of Torreon Or the occupation
of Vera Cruz, so far as the list of
killed, wounded and missing was con-
cerned; but happily, the efforts that
have been productive of the results
desired and the casualty reports have
measurably decreased. The fifth of
July is no longer the occasion Of
grief that it once was TO the mothers
of the land. Premature explosions.
dynamite canes. blank cartridges and
tetanus have been relegated to the
attic along with the other relics of a
glorious past; yet there are enough of
them still in active service to make
the demand for sane Fourth worth
while. The coming celebration should
be glad and glorious and at the same
time safe and sane. Eternal vigilance
is the price of little Willie's anatomy
remaining intact.
