New York, July 14-"The public
be-damned' attitude of the trustees of
our American colleges has got to go!
eve have got to make them realize
that our professors are not hired
amen but men of consciences, who
'cannot be fired just because they dare
to think, in the way by which Prof.
Scott Nearing has just been fired
fired from the University of Pennsyl-
vania-beCaUse he allowed his mind
to work in a way obnoxious to capt.
talism!
eve have got to make them know
that a college, state or private, is
public propeTty-propeTty as public
as the pOstOffiice, since it deals in
men, and our young men belong, not
to any particular economic group,
but to our country"
The most famous professor in the
United States, ''the greatest thinker
in America since the death of William
James" Prof John Dewey of Column
bia University, today threw this bomb
into the ranks of those American mill
Honaires who are attempting to con-
troll the education of our youths
through wealthy boards of college
trustees, by dropping radical pro-
fessors from teaching rosters and
substituting safe and sane" ones.
at is too late for capital to begin
this fight, If we are to infer from the
dismissal of Prof, Nearing that the
first gun has indeed been fired in a
war which aims to stamp freedom Of
thought out of our colleges" declared
Prot. Dewey to me on his Long Island
farm near Newport.
eff the governing boards of uni
versities wish to drive from their in
situations all men of ability and back
bone and retain to teach the youth
of the. country only weaklings in mind
and character they have only to en-
dOrse such a program.

ars who do not put the knowledge Of
their snecial subject on the level with
that of an aggregation Of business
gentlemen, however worthy and how
ever competent in their own affairs,
to keep away from that institution"
Nearing, the teacher of economics,
is a very young man and a very pop
ular one. In the few years he has
taught at the University of Pennsyl-
vania he has become the great leader
of the radical wing Of the teaching
force and has captured the popular
fancyof the thousands of students as
no other professor has.

If You Want To Be Loved.

Don't contradict people,
even if you're sure you are
right.
Don't be inquisitive about
the affairs of even your most
Intimate friend.
Don't underrate any thing
because you don't possess it.
Don't believe that every.
body else is happier than
you.
Don't conclude that you
never had any opportunities
in life.
Don't believe all the evils
you hear.
Don't repeat gossip, even
it it does interest a crowd.
Don't jeer at anybody's re.
ligious belief.
Learn to hide your aches
and pains under a pleasant
smile. Few care whether
you have an earache, head.
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to attend to your
own business-a very import
ant point.

The Lesser Tragedies.

A New York broker who
had "played wheat until
his speculations caused his
firm to suspend was seen
looking at the ticker which
was announcing the failure.
A few minutes afterward a
clerk went to look for him:
'On the long mahogany

OF his baby daughter, Mar

"Then Reid saw Stringer's.
body, face downward, on the
floor. By his outstretched
hand lay the revolver he had
brought from his home.
This sort of thing happens
in Wall Street as it happens,
occasionally, at the race
track. It is the obvious and
tragedy Of gamb-
ling, but the lesser tragedy.
The greater tragedy is the
national hardship that is
when gamblers play
a game in which one of the
prime necessities of life is
used for the benefit of the
lucky gamblers and causes
the ruin Of the unlucky ones.

Since the Introduction of the Cadil-

HAYNES GREYHOUND
Of AUTO WORLD
Refined Motor of This Car Repre-
sents Real Engineering
Achievement

According to Geo. w. II. Roberts,
of Roberts & Holm, distributors in this
territory for the Haynes, Americas
First Car, there is as much difference
between the light, high speed, high
efficiency motor and the low speed
motor as there is between grey
hound and a shepherd dog. The grey
hound is built for speed. He is long
and slender-the real streamline eff
| feet, so to speak. The shepherd dog
| is heavy and stocky. and compare
lively SLOW in his action. The strength
! of either is the same, and the differ
ence in the cost of upkeep, if there is
any, is in favor of the greyhound.
! The light, high speed motor. such
as is found in the Haynes Light Six, is
a distinct type of motor Its recipro-
eating parts must be light-not for in
creased power. but for balance at high
| speeds and quick acceleration or get
away, as in the case of the greyhound.
The overall efficiency of the car de-
pends much upon the ratio OF power
to motor weight.
The high speed motor may reach
speeds well up towards 5000 revolu-
tions per minute. while the low speed
motor rarely exceeds 1900 revolutions
per minute. The bore is smaller.

Naturally he is willing to satisfy

his hands are tied by inability to buy
raw materials at low enough prices, or
by limited facilities for producing cars,
or any one of a number of causes. and
consequently one of these two contrary
