realized the danger the new service

There is no good reason why such
conditions should overtake this new
and important public convenience.
There will he no danger OF it, if Con-

A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

For all the inquiry into the true
George Washington, his aims and
achievements, no one has yet discov-
cred what happened to the S25, ZOO
which he left for national univer-
sity. His money lost, his unrealized
dream has become a bone of conten-
tion.
The advocates Of his scheme are
gaining ground over its opponents.
With the increasing publicity given
to Federal undertakings and the in
creasing activity and power of public
opinion there is continually less dan
ger that national university would
fall prey to politics.
An enterprise of fitting magnitude
would, unlike the general run of new
universities with paltry endowment,
raise standards by stimulating EMU
lation among older foundations. 1t
would cooperate with them, just as
the Library of Congress puts its re-
sources at the disposal of libraries
and research workers throughout the
country.
There is the greater need of a
national university since certain de-
paItments of study are as yet almost
untouched by established institu-
lions. The wealth of statistical and
other departmental information at
Washington invites investigation.
Scientific methods, as painstaking as
those of the academic laboratory or
seminary, give stiff training, but are
saved by their grip upon living prob
lens from producing the bluestock-
ing and the pedant.
Were the stimulus to scholarship
in traditional subjects left out of
account, incalculahle gain would still
accrue to the country as economic
problems like those of tariff, con-
servation and finance were lifted
above partisan politics and settled
upon their merits. Such work as this
national university could do for
the nation.

NO WORLDWIDE PEACE
THIS EASTER.

Easter this year finds Christendom
in rather a bad mood. Peace, the
worldwide peace OF the dreamer, is
not even near.
This country has more than its
usual share of troubles. Self-ap-
pointed umpire in the civil war of a
people who can understand us no
more than we can understand them,
and curiously watched by less pa
tient nations, the United States does
nothing but wait and wait and wait.
Then there is our own bloodless in
ternal conflict over the keeping OF a
treaty word which every so-called
statesman interprets to suit himself.
Perhaps because of these over
shadowing things, the friction with
Japan has been oiled by the patience
of Japan herself and the siIencing
of some windy Americans.
England is anything but happy.
She has still to settle the home rule
matter. Meanwhile the militant suf-
frapette swings AK and torch. How
England must envy us our own calm
women. who get what they want by
peaceful methods!
England has labor troubles and
the latest development in these-a
report that four thousand German
miners are to be sent to Yorkshire

bloodshed if, indeed, it does not fire
the war-fuse which is already
stretched between England and Ger

MODEL COLLEGE GIFT.

The three-hundred-th Thousand dollar
gift of Edgar Palmer to Princeton
University in the form of a stadium
for football and track athletics is
model gift in more ways than one.
1t appeals to undergraduate and
alumnus alike in that it is devoted to
athletics; to the esthetically minded,
through its architectural design con-
forming to the perpendicular Gothic
style prevailing in the newer build
ings on the campus, and particularly
to the college authorities since Mr..
Palmer presented the stadium to the
university outright. This gives to
the university's income what profits
may accrue from renting the stad-
ium to the Princeton Athletic Asso-
citation.
Ono of the great difficulties the ad-
ministrators of our privately sup
ported colleges and museums LABOR
under is the lack of funds for gen
eral use. Many OF them have given
to them for specific purposes large
sums that they cannot touch for any
other use no matter how imperative
the need. Our universities feel this
pinch very keenly this year and have
had TO retrench in ways that are
distressing to every one concerned
with their administration.
Such a gift as Mr.. Palmer has
made to Princeton ought to add to
the university's annual income an
unusually large return on the invest
ment. Putting that income directly
under the control of the trustees for
general use of the college. it is the
ideal method of, making a gift Of
money to any public institution.

"TOTINC" FIREARMS.

| Texas used to be represented IN
nickel literature, and pictured in the
community's Imagination, as the
paradise of the "gun toter," the
place where everybody pulled" on
sight and shot from the hip. Perhaps
Texas was, once, just as careless
with its artillery as its reputation
! assumed; but if so, its latter-day
suppression of gunnery practice
shows the tendency of extremes to
alternate. Texas is one of the States
where it is most difficult to get or
lug a gun, because Texas has learned
the lesson and enforced rigorous
laws against that sort of thing.
Wherefore the "gunman" has
ceased to be a picturesque adornment
of frontier literature, and has been
transplanted to the metropolitan
areas. We read of him operating in
New York, not in San Antonio. His
activities have become so far men
ace TO the community that the de-
,, mand for his suppression is now vo-
calized from the metropolis, with the
insistence that Federal law against
pistol carrying be passed.
New York passed a law which has
made it well-nigh Impossible to buy
and sport a revolver or pistol. But
it is of little practical effect because
the bad man with trouble in his sys-
tenn has but to run over into Jersey
or into Connecticut to get an arsenal
suited to his purpose. Chief City
Magistrate McAdoo, of New York,
who knows how general the toting
habit is and how much crime it in
duces, has taken up the effort to
create sentiment in favor of a ma.
tional law against carrying concealed
weapons. .a--. 49,.
The modern, automatic magazine
revolver with a silencer attached is
about the most wicked instrument
that cowardice, malice, and cussed-
ness could possibly wish. 1t is SO
dangerous TO the decent community,
so well adapted to conceal and pro-
tect the criminal, that there seems
little chance of suppressing its evil
work. short of forbidding its manu-
facture. Why not? The internal
revenue tax on alcoholic liquors is
pretty effectively enforced; it would
be no harder to enforce restrictions
on the making and sale of dangerous
weapons. Prohibition nigh: even be
made to prohibit, in this case. There
are doubtless some few proper uses
TO which a revolver may be put; but
they are not many. The average
gun kept IN home or Office as a
means of defense is not needed, and
it is good deal more danger
than a protection to its owner. A
man has about a hundred times as
much chance to lose his life by accl-
dent as he has to save it by reason of
keeping a weapon at hand.

A PARCEL POST NEED.

Prompt action by Congress to set
lie the question of railroad compen-
Sation for carrying the great ton
mage which the parcel post has
dumped into mail cars, is insistently
needed. In justice TO the Postoffice
Department and to the railroads
alike, this is imperative. The rail-
roads are doing a big service for
which they are getting nothing. That
IS not fair TO them. But even more
important is the fact that expansion
Of the parcel posts usefulness is
hampered and in effect crippled by
he continued uncertainty as to the
rates that will finally have TO be
paid for the services of the railroads.
There are good many more spec
tacular problems before Congress at
this time; problems to which it is not
necessary to direct attention in OF
der 70 set statesmen and politicians
1T work making records on them.
But il is submitted that there are
cry few more practical opportuni-
ties for useful service, than is pre-
scntei to some member or group Of
members who will lake up this ques-
non Of adjusting the railroad mail
pay.
Tho postoffice authorities have
hccn granted a wide sweep of dis
'retloa in FIXING rates and conditions
"f The parcel post. But as matters
cow stand tina. discretion is so
hcdged about by uncertainty that its
exercise is dangerous. A Postmaster
General might make a set of rates
snd rules for parcel transport, that
would seem certain to be reasonably
"eTurerative, 50 long as the rail-
roads are paid for their services at
present rates. But suppose Con-
gress, after this new set of rates had
heen established, add 25 or so per
cent to the payment which the Post
Office Department must make for
handling parcel post tonnage? What
then? The inevitable result would
re a sudden conversion of parcel post
profits into losses; of surplus into
deficit. There would Immediately be
protest that the parcel post was
costing too much, that the manage
ment of the department was unbusi-
nesslike, and that maybe after all it
was mistake to attempt the kusi-

way, Denmark. and Sweden talk OF

The Balkan boundary fences, recent
ly made, are secure only until some
land hungry king decides to tear
them down.
All through Europe the ministries
scrape geld to fling into the war
chests. Each days sees a new flock
of military planes in the sky, or the
keel laid fer new dreadnought.
Gloomy stuff? Oh with the dance,
then. Lent is over. spring is theo-
retically here, the Federal League
has announced it's schedule, and the
Republic continues to live no matter
what our great men do TO it.
