THE LAMP OF EXPERIENCE
VIM GOODYEAR

In discussing the duplication OF
courses by state institutions and the
possibility Of eliminating it by cen
trail board of management. the New
York Evening Post says editorially:
80 far as the evils of Legislative
rivalry and duplication are real,
moreover. the remedy OF central
board is defective The proper
method of stopping an ungracious
war OF capitol Hobbies is to provide
a tax adequate to the regular sup
port Of the state colleges, and def
nitely apportioned. Injurious riv-
airy would be unhCard Of were not
the maintenance Of the institutions
concerned so precarious. 1t is to De
suspected that half the advocacy Of
the central board comes from those
who would kick up dust about the
ultimate issue OF mill tax. The
governor Of Texas, for example. de-
clared in his inaugural that there is
real danger the state Will 20
" hog-wild" about higher education.
AS for the duplication OF under
graduate work, it is to be observed,
first, that d cooperative modus VI
vendi should not be impossible Of
arrangement. and second. that total
duplication is often consistent with
true economy and wholesome condi-
tions. In Texas the state university
has always welcomed the stimula-
ton OF Rice Institute, which, heavily
endowed. is going to duplicate
many of its undertakings. In the
University of Chicago and Leland
Stanford, Jr., University, not mere
ly undergraduate, but graduate
work is conducted along parallel
lines; and the establishme nt of the
latter institution undoubtedly gave a
great impulse to the former \ de-
fender Of the present Texas system
quotes the president of the Uniyer-
sity of Illinois as testifying in an
address Of last July that the
foundation of the University Of Chi
cago, by the bold and striking way it
raised aloft the standard of science,
gave an impetus to the university
idea which made the work Of all
the surrounding universities more
adequate and more easy 1t It's
doubtful If a single board could
ever accomplish great economies, or
if consolidation would often do so.
1t is in states where higher edu-
cation is still in the formative stage
that the topic is most pressing; and
it is for these to look to those neigh
bors in the Middle West where "a
fairly standard form of state univer-
sity government has been developed,
and to the eastern private institu-
tions. No matter how great the vari-
atiOns in number of trustees and
term of office the independence of
the governing board is regarded as
essential in all The present form
of Am erican university government
has a history of over two centuries;
the innovation of guiding a number
ter is comparatively recent

other hand, the liquor interests do
need petitions The burden is on
them this time and we confess to a
hope that it will not be lightened.
There is an old adage that Con
fession is good for the soul" 1t is
to be hoped that Nh Conger's con
fession of his alliance with the
enemies of direct legislation was
good for his soul, for il certainly
was narrowing to thousands Of yot-
ers who fought Loyalty with him to
initiate and pass the prohibition law.
His argument is as shortsighted as
it is cold-blooded What would the
world think of General Joffre if he
should induce the allies to concen-
trate all their heavy artillery in re-
ducing German stronghold on
French soil and, after the desired re-
suit had been accomplished, should
join with the Germans in spiking the
guns, on the theory that he had no
further use for them and that his al
lies must shift for themselves?
The chiyalry of the French people
would revolt against such an act of
perfidy just as thousands of men,
bers of the Anti-Saloon league will
lepudiate Mr.. Conger's policy.
Having induced the Farmers
Union, the Grange and other reform
organizations of the state to assist
in bringing up their big howitzer, the
initiative, and to help serve it until
the liquor traffic has been annihilat-
ed, he then calmly aided the wet
forces TO spike the howitzer.
That he fully realized what he was
doing is proved by his own state
ment that house bill 100 amends our
initiative laws so as TO make it more
difficult to secure the necessary petit
ton to put a question on the ballot.
He attempts to justify his action
by saying that the initiative will in
ton. He is mistaken. The danger
to the prohibition law does not lie in
initiative measures, which must be
submitted to a vote of the people,
but in measures passed by the legis-
lature. Experience has demonstrate
ed that it is impossible to bride or
bulldoze a majority of the voters of
commonwealth, but that it is a
comparatively easy matter to bride
or bulldoze enough members of a
closely divided legislature to convert
minority into a majority. The
liquor forces do not expect that the
people of the state will reverse the
verdict they rendered last fall, but
they do hope to control the next
legislature and secure from it favor
able legislation Their fight from
now on will be waged in the halls of
the capitol building Consequently
the referendum will prove to be the
most effective weapon of the dry
forces in future, and yet Mr.. Conger
is attempting to make more difficult
the use of that weapon.
That Mr.. Conger deserted his
friends to give aid and comfort to his
former opponents is demonstrated by
his admission that his recompense
for helping to pass house bill 120
over the governors veto was the

An INCONGRUOUs ALLIANCE

In the Monday evening edition of
hthe Spokane Chronicle an article
was published regarding the atti-
tude Of George S. Conger, superin-
PENDENT of the Anti-Saloon League
ID reference to the attempt of the
legislature to cripple the initiative
and referendum. The article read
I|A part as follows:
Mr.. Conger, probably the ahrcwd-
lest Of lobbyists at the legislature, so
manipulated the forces Of public
Aopinon behind the dry element n
1.-THE legislature that liquot legislation
never got out on the f, lor of the
houses that probably would have
showed majority in favor of turn
ling down prohibition.
But in accomplishing that fact.
Mr. Conger had to join the republi-
can majority in putting over Tie
oils which will, if allowed 20 stanf
revoke the initiative and raferen-
dun.
When the veto came down IN

was BADLY shaken, needed moral

who catches ball in this remarkable
manner
rams gasp when he performs the
stunt. They are always looking for
him to drop it-but he apparently new
er does.
Maranyille gets a grounder unlike
other shortstops. He gathers up the
Dali in most unconcerned fashion
and can whip it across at fearful
speed. One has to wonder where he
gets the strength. There is no jerk
to his movement, no effort whatever.
Then. when he is at the bat. He
has short. heavy stick. This he
holds in the middle so that about a
foot and half is left to crack the
ball. And it's no infrequent thing
to see him whale double or a
triple.
The lad has all sorts OF pep and
works like whirlwind with Evers
around second.
Nobody wanted this little fellow be-
cause he wasn't big enough for fast
company. George Stallings signed
Maranyille and said to him then:
You're just the man | want. My
idea Of shortstop is a small man.
He can get over the ground faster
than a big man. Don't worry about
your size, Maranville. Just cover the
ground and I'll keep you with this
big show"
And Maranville was relieved of
the worry of stature and-did he
make good?
Johnny Evers and Stallings claim
that he is the greatest shortstop that
ever played the game. OF course.
that's a Boston claim but, truth 10
tell, Maranville played the position
in a dazzling way during the Braves
thrilling rush to the front. All of
which goes to show that a man who
is fast, game, and q hitter can get
along no matter If he is not higher
than a top hat.

1t cannot go back. Men look back,
