ENDORSED UNIVERSITIES.

For several days the American has
been publishing the lectures by Prof.
Scott Nearing which led the ultra con-
sentative trustees of the University
OF Pennsylvania TO order his discharge
from further association with that in
stitution. We scarcely think our read
ers have discerned in the epistles any
tendency toward blasphemy-unless
a literal application OF the sayings OF
Jesus to the affairs Of everyday litc
be considered blasphemous. The
state university is the American ideal
Of higher education. 1t should re-
ceive its support so wholly and so H5-
orally from the state that private
bene3actions, so called. should be not
only unnecessary but undesirable

NOT so SANE. AFTER ALL.

The celebration OF the Fourth was
reasonably sane in most parts of this
country. but the invaluable statistics
Of killings and mainings caused by
fooling with gunpowder. which the
Chicago Tribune collects every year,
indicate that all the people are not
vet aware that we have changed our
manner Of commemorating the signing
OF the Declaration. The campaign Tor
a safe and reasonably quiet Fourth
must be prosecuted with renewed
vigor. The record Of 1915 is much
worse than that of last year. There
is. happily. a generation Of boys now
growing Up which knows little or moth.

dangerous Fourth OF July. For that

WHERE ARE THE POLICE?

During the past few weeks the cit
izeas Of Fairmont have been the prey
of a bunch Of hold-up men. robbers
and pick:pockets. Innumerabie hold
ups and robberies have taken place
in all sections OF the town and so far
the police. have been unsuccessful n
stopping the outrages against the cit
tzens. Fairmonters are not going to
stand for such treatment long and it
is up to the members Of the police
force of the city to get the situation
under control or answer to the people
for their inability to do so.
It seems that great floating pep.
uIation Of undesirable persons, no
doubt brought into the city by the
Democratic ring for political purposes.
is making life miserable for the re-
spectacle citizens Of this city. Hav-
ing nothing to do in the political field.
owing to the fact that the charter
election has been postponed. the un-
desirables are turning their efforts to-
ward making a living by ravages en-
the people OF this city. The police
have made a few feeble efforts to pat
q stop to this and have arrested some
Of the offenders; but the majority OF
the scoundrels are still having full
sway in the nefarious work. Many
Of those arrested were let out soon
and there was little il any good re-
suits from the arrests made TO date.
1t is up 10 the police to get bus;
and put stop to the robber!es that
have been going on. and when arrests
are made in connection with g hold
up or robbery an example should b.
made of those captured in the act. n
order that Others will think twice be
fore breaking the law.
It is the duty Of the police to af'
ford ample protection to the citizens
Of Fairmont, and during the past few
weeks they have failed IN this import
ant duty. 1t IS to be hoped that the
police force will brace up and meet
the crisis in the way it should be met.

THE THIRD DEGREE.

The third degree" is absolutely
worthless and Objectionable under
any circumstances. The time is. o.
at least should be. past when
prisoners can be tortured by the po-
lice IN order to make them confess
to crimes which they may or may not
have committed. The third degree"
IS relic of barbarism and can serve
no good purpose in modern civiliza-
ton. The great majority OF the con.
fession obtained under the third de-
gree are worth little. and many an
innocent man has confessed under the
strain of brutal treatment to crime
he never committed.
The truth will come out IN time, and
It is better to wait for the real con
fession than to descend to the level
Of the third degree" in order to speed
things up. II police and detectives
are unable to make good without re.
sort to such abouinable tactics. it Is
time for them 10 hoist the white flag
and get out.
There was no excuse for the use Of
the third degree" methods in the
case Of Frank Holt. who committed
suicide Tuesday after being subjected
10 the most brutal treatment by the
officers in the case. Holt was IN
eoubtedly mentally unbalanced at the
time he shot Morgan. and the terrific
strain to which he was subjected whils
IN a deplorable condition, both men
tally and physically, prompted him to
take his own life. Had he been al
lowed to stand trial and he had not
been subjected TO the third degree" he
would have been found guilty and
would have served his time in a penal
Institution or would have been sent
10 an insane asylum. which would
have been far better than having him
depart this world by his own hand.
Those who inflicted the third de.
gree" on Mr.. Holt are practically
guilty Of legal murder, and a just God
viii undoubtedly hold them response.

ment they inflicted on an unfortunate
and helpless member Of society.

away from the practices Of the bar.

civilization, and yet the American
public still permits the low grade

honorable and worthy profession, to
