THE COLLEGE MAN
and POLITICS

TIN address printed below, de-
livered by Senator H. F. Hollis OF .
New Hampshire, of the United .
States Senate, has created a great
deal of discussion in academic cir
cles. While all the points made
are perhaps not we'll founded, the
fact that words come from an
alumnus of Harvard makes them
significant.
| was graduated at Harvard /:
Eighteen Hundred Ninety-two. l

of radical views to occupy a seat
in the Senate. | do no! fairly rep
resent Harvard College III the Sen.
ate of the United States. / am
quite sure that Harvard College is
not representative of the United
States. nor of New England. She
is too conservative, too hidebound.
She lags behind the times. In the
Middle West the bond between
some States and their leading uni
versities is very close. The State
legislatures submit questions OF
public policy to the college facul-
ties, and receive opinions which
control their actions. This is par
ticularly the case in Wisconsin.
Imagine, if you please, the Legis-
lature of Massachusetts requesting
an opinion from the faculty of
Harvard College. Imagine the re
ception it would get on Beacon
Hill, if it should find its way
there. 1t is a great pity that the
political arm of our State and Ma
tional governments should not re
ceive support from our colleges
Our leading college professors looE
on politics as a low pursuit,
nasty business. Our leading leg
islators regard college opinion a
a Joke. Both of these attitudes
are very real; they are equally mis-
taken. There are many brave
patriotic men among the hosts o
brainy, upright professors on ou
college faculties. There are man,
brave, patriotic men among tn
Senators of the United States. Blu
the college men regard most poll
ticians as corrupt and insincert
while the politicians regard co
lege professors as impractlcs
theorists. Worse than this, the
believe that all college views ar
tainted by the great sums Of none
which have been bestowed by me
of great wealth.
The Upper Crust
college professors are motor
iously ill-paid. They must live r
specially; they must assocla
with people of culture and rein
ment: they must educate the
children at expensive schools al
colleges. They cannot save enout
to become independent; they a
dependent for their very living
the governing board of the ct
lege, and the governing boa
must satisfy the rich men W
make princely donations to t
college. The belief is prevale
among public men in Washlngt
that every Eastern college is e
ing from the hand that has robt
the pockets of the people. ur
this belief is dissipated, Congr
will have little faith in our C
leges or in college men.
"A college at best will act
part of an old man, conserVat
old man, in politics. Worse tt
that, it will act the part OF an
society man in politics; 1t IS llk
to be snobbish, superclllous,
over-nice. We know that

he gets older he becomes conse
ative, his political arteries marc
he slows down. Not until ne

comes too old for radical action
does he become important to enter
the faculty. The dominant note,
then, in college circles is the note
of the old man, the man OF lnt1u-
ence, the conservative.
"And among the students where
youth is, we find the chill of con-
ventions, the rule of the social
lion. The man in the baggy suit,
with the country haircut, stays in
the background during his college
course; he feels that he has moth
ing in common with the rich
young blade who cuts a dash
with his automobile or riding
horse; he sticks to his books, gets
what good he can from his college
course, leaves no impress on the
college constitution, and does not
return to commencement. The re-
suit is that our colleges represent
a very thin upper crust OF oul
great American life. They are
always respectable, always con
servative, always reactionary
That is why rich men, who tlnt
things rugged about right TO
their money-making operations
are glad to contribute to the col
leges. The colleges are the great
est deadweight the capitalists ca,
fasten upon the necks of tn
American people. The standpat
ter is conservative; wealth is cor
servative; the college is conserve
, tive. They are all in the sam
: boat.

Not a Cheap President.

Whatever the differences of opinion
as to the wisdom of the President g
policies, his critics concede his patriot
ism. his intelligence, and his sincerity.
He takes his high duties seriously. Not
a cheap man, he makes no cheap appeal
for support. He compliments the
American people by assuming. as in his
speech at Indianapolis, that they have
outgrown the taste for the old partisan
fustian and wish their public men to
establish contact with the verities of
present-dav life.
1t is new and refreshing for polite
al leader to rest his claim for support
on ideas rather than on mechanical
membership in party. The assump-
ton hitherto has been that party won
as party rather than as trustee for a
specific set of government proposals =

London, Feb. 9.-The German at

failed to make gap in the Russian
lines which would open the way to

Northern Poland are reported by the

There is no slackening of activity
in the Carpathians, where the Aus
trians, assisted by German reinforce
ments, are struggling with the Rus
SLAMS for mastery of the mountain
passes which give access to Northern
Hungary.
Important successes for the Rus
SLAMS in several engagements are an

is said that Austrian attacks broke
down and that in addition to inflict-
ing heavy losseses on their opponents
the Russian captured $500 prisoners.

A private dispatch from Nish, Ser
bia, describes battle between Rou-

said to have resulted from an Aus
trian invasion of Roumanian soil in
the direction of an important STRAIT
egic position which controls the only
Serbian position on the Danube per-
hitting communication with Rouma-
mia. According to this dispatch the
Austrians were defeated and driven
back. There is no confirmation, how.

The German army in the Argonne
has begun another of the repeated at
tacks which have made that section
of Eastern France one of the most
bitterly contested battlefields Of Eu-

announces the capture Of a portion
of the allies position in the Argonne.
The French war Office says that one

WILSON INDIGNANT
At MISUSE OF FLAG

Washington, Feb. S.-President vii.
son discussed with Counsellor Lansing
of the state department steps that
this government will take to protect
the American flag from further mis-
use by belligerents' ships. The con-
ference at the White House lasted
half an hour.
1t is understood the president is
greatly chagrined at the action Of
Captain Dow of the Lusitania in run
ming the Stars and Stripes up on his
vessel to protect her from German
submarines.
Counsellor Lansing has instructed
Ambassador Page at London to cable
full report of the Lusitania incident
and also to thoroughly investigate re-
ports that the American flag is being
used by British vessels whenever
their captains deem it expedient to
hide the identity of their vessels.

AWAITS ANSWER
FROM GERARD
American Government Looking
Into Flag Incident.
NEUTRAL NATIONS NERVOUS

That German Proclamation and Luz
sitania Incident Have introduced q
Most Delicate Situation.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Informal dis
cussion by President Wilson with his
advisers of the German notification
of the dangers to which neutral ships
may be subjected in the newly pre-
scribed zones around Great Britain,
Ireland and the use by the British
liner Lusitania of the American flag
foreshadowed diplomatic corre-
spondence between the United States
and both Great Britain and Germany
on these questions.
In each case the American govern
ment, because of its neutrality, can
not discuss the rules which the bell
ligerents may adopt toward each 9TH
er. The prescription of the war zone
itself, however, or the use of neu.
trail flag by war vessels as a STRAIT
agem of war, has not given the Amer.
lean officials concern so much as the
prospect that these acts may en-.
danger the lives of American citizens
whose right to travel on the high
seas on neutral ships during time Of
war, it is minated; will be vigorous
ly defended.
Pending the receipt of the German
foreign Office memorandum from Am.
basador Gerard and a representation
of the Lusitania incident from Am
bassador Page no action will be TAX
en-. Formal inquiries as to what
steps the German naval commanders
will take to protect neutrals travelling
on merchant ships and requests for
information as to the use of American
fiags by British ships generally, it Is
understood, will follow.
It was apparent on all sides here
that the German proclamation and
the Lusitania incident have introduced
. delicate situation touching more
closely perhaps the position of neu-
trails than any other occurrence Of
the war.

On Goodyear Tires
Making Total Reductions as per cent in Two Years
To Give Always the Most for the Money

That is because we have the larg-
est output. We haze a new fac
tory. modernly equipped. And
we have world. wide facilities for
buying rubber, of our extra
grade, at the lowest market price
For long, long time most
tires have sold much above Good
year prices. Some have sold ore
third higher. A few have sold
lower, as some always will, be.
cause of less rubber, less quality.
But we can and do, under all con.
ditions. give more for the money
than any rival tire can offer.
The Best We Know
Goodyear Fortified Tires offer
the best we know. They are
built to give you the lowest cost
per mile. They minimize tire
trouble in five costly ways EN-.
ployed by no other maker. And
they are always the same, re.
gardless of price reductions
Most tires will always sell high
er, because of smaller output.
Some tires will always sell lower
because of lower standards. But
we promise you that none will
ever give better than Goodyear
value.
This policy has made Good.
years the largest selling tires in
the world. 1t will make them
more so as more men find them
out.

our new price on the size you
buy.

COMMERCIAL CLUB D0|NCS
AUTHORIZED OFFICERS TO SIGN
RAILWAY CONTRACT-GAVE
AWAY BANQUET RECEIPTS

The Commercial club held a special
meeting Thursday evening Of last
week, at which time they examined
the drawings for the proposed road Of
the Minneapolis & Central Minnesota
railway, to run from this city to
Pierz. The club officers were author
lied to sign the contract between the
club and the railway company pro-
viding three specified changes were
made.
First, the drawing did not show a
physical connection of this railroad
with the 500 at Pierz. Second, the
clause in regard to the paying Of the
bonds should be changed to read that
they be paid over when the road is in
operation, instead Of when it is ready
for operation. Third, the time for
completion of the line must be limited
to January l, 1917. The engineer
stated that the omission of these pro-
visions was but an oversight and that
he thought the changes would be
agreed to by the company. The club
voted to extend the company $500 of
the first payment Of $1,000 to help de-
fray incidental expenses.
N. n. Bergheim, chairman of the
committee on the get-together dinner,
read report on the same. His report
showed a balance of 1895 over ex'
penses. After considerable discussion
and various motions $40 Of this
was given to the women for the ladies
