HIS EIGHTlETh YEAR TODAY

selves by comforting honorary de-
grees upon Mr.. Howells, but the rural
print.shop was his real alma mater.
The little Ohio city of Martins Fer
ry, on the Ohio river near Wheeling,
was the birthplace of William Dean
Howells, and March l. 1887. the date
of his arrival in that village. His
father was country editor, and "Wil-
lie' was reared in an atmosphere OF

set type, and then became a reporter
and correspondent. At the age of

of the Ohio State Journal of Column

ed States consul at Venice. and for

civil war. he revelled in the sights

BOOM FRANC

John H. Worst has been caught in
the meshes of his own deceit.
He built straw man for the pur
poses of argument. Shaking the big
Business" bugaboo before the voters,
he had the students entrenched with

foundations.
Now that the smoke of battle has
lifted from the A. G. campus, the only
casualty seems to be Mr.. Worst.
The students, after issuing a sophie
moric ultimatum to the board of re-
gents demanding voice in faculty
changes, have returned to their class
rooms In week or two the bruises
will have healed and the college will
direct its energies to the purposes
for which it was established.
But has big business triumphed in
the reinforcement of Mr.. Worst?
Has any Of the sinister things hap
pened that Worst declared would fol

as yet the net result of the A. c. up,

not like, 1t is Ladd All the swollen
monopolies from the Beef Trust dowr

THE EDUCATED FARMER WINS

A commission in New York Is nos
ing into agricultural conditions, and
finds that the farmer who is a high
school graduate makes twice as
much money as the one who is not !;
the college-graduate farmer makes
three times as much.
1t really wasn't necessary to have
q commission develop statistics to
demonstrate this. Intelligence, which
on the whole bears a pretty steady
relationship to education, is now
commonly accepted as a good thing
almost everywhere. o..
Some commission that will dis
cover . way to get the high school
and college graduates to live on the
farms, will be doing a much more
practical work. Maybe if all the facts
could be developed it would be found,
too, that the young man who has the
means to acquire an education also
has the wherewithal to own a better
farm and to farm it more effectively.

the party now in power, to the needs
Of q country in the position that
America now occupies. The dyeetuffs
industry is only one Of many that
will demand special consideration, Of
a new sort, because Of war con-
ditions. There is absolute necessity
for a broad, liberal, and untrammeled
policy of dealing with every industry
according to its special needs. That
sort Of a policy cannot be devised, il
efforts are to be hampered by aca-
demic theories which render 1t i'm
possible to make legislation that
shall meet particular emergencies.
This dyestuffs provision Is neither
fish, flesh, nor fowl; it is neither pro-
lection that will build, nor free

and that program will not be de-

IT'S REAL AMALOAMAT1ON

The announcement that six leaders
Of the Progressive party will be
members Of the campaign committee
that will manage the Republican
campaign is . clear indication Of
purpose honestly and thoroughly to
unity all the elements Of the reor-
ganized party. OF the committee Of
seventeen who will direct the cam
paign, these six are Progressives Of
national note:
Everett Colby, Of New Jersey;
James R. Garfield, Of Ohio; Harold
L. Ickes. Of Illinois; George w. Per-
kins, of New York; Chester Roweu,
Of California, and Oscar S. Straus,
Of New York. Seecher Howell, of
Nebraska, is a Progressive in every
thing but actual party affiliation in
1912; he represents the Norris wing
of the party in Nebraska, Just as
Herbert Parsons has stood for the
liberal side Of Republication In New
York.
This is the sign Of what has al
ready very obviously taken place, in
the attitude Of the masses of both
parties. The Progressives have &C.
cepted the situation, and are at work
with a will for the ticket. The ex-
ceptions are SO few as to be unim-
portant; and most of these are for
n.er Democrats returning to their
old affiliation.
