COLLEGE STUDENTS TO
 STUDY COLLEGE LIFE
INNOVATION AT HENDRIX COL LEGE IS FOLLOWED BY
 BROWN UNIVERSITY.

Brown University has this year es- on the "Orientation of Freshmen" which all members of the incoming class are required to attend. The lectures deal with the meaning and scope of college life, the purpose of the college, the aims of it's different departments, the uses of the several studies and their practical applica- tion in life, the matter of personal expenditure, the fraternities, the proper relations of athletics and other activities to student life, best methods of taking notes and of utiliz- ing the library, and suggestions on daily work and habits. By these practical hints it is hoped that the student may be saved at the begin ming of his college career from blum ders and follies which may easily re- suit in his utter failure. A some what similar course was introduced several years ago at Reed College, Oregon, an institution organized and conducted as a smaH college on almost ideal lines. It is noteworthy, too, that such a course is now offered by President Reynolds in our own Hendrix College. It is called "Col- lege Life," and is described as ''lec lures on college life, student activit- ties, health, manners and morals of students, the field of the college, what the student should get out of college, the several departments, what each has to offer, and it's relations to the world of affairs While the course is given principally by the president, different professors discuss their re- sneetive departments. This is un- doubtedly a wise innovation, and will function largely in the career Of each student Coming from the easy disci- piine of the high school and the shel- tee of the home, many students dur ing their first year at college abso- ld.ely fail to grasp the significance of their unusual environment, and fall by the way, disgracing them selves and discrediting their parents and the preparatory schools. If the college, by prudential suggestions and sympathetic advice, can enable the new student safely to bridge his first year, his future in that institu ton is fairly secure.-Arkansas Methodist.

BROWN WILL NOT
 RUN FOR CONGRESS-

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-F. E. Brown, Arkansas tax commissioner, amour ced yesterday definitely that he will not make the race for congress from the Second district this time.

individual contribution which Mr..
Hughes, declaration makes to the is
sues Of the campaign. 1t is a real
issue. 1t is real opposition. From
the pork grabs in congress to the
spoils waste in the diplomatic service
the Wilson administration can and
must be fairly indicted for slipshod
waste.
But, more than that, it is just this
actual administrative efficiency which
America must put into practice if 1t
is to meet successfully so powerfully
organized competition as that of
Germany. 1t is the good element in
the German idea which Mr.. Hughes
thus squarely places before the coun-
try. The world will have to accept
it after the war; we cannot lag be-
hind. Nor can we have either mill
tary preparedness or sound social ad-
vance without it.-Denver News.

GHOSTS? NO, JUST
SUFFRAGISTS

ST. LOUIS, June 14-Every dele
gate to the Democratic National con-
vention opening today, has series
of white robed satellites trailing him,
They are suffragetts- dressed in
white with yellow parasols, arm
bands, sashes and caps.
The idea is simply to engulf the
Democratic hosts with the preponder.
ance of womens' desire for the ballot.
SO the delegates will vote into the
national platform a plank approv-

WIRES CROSSED AGAIN

Certainly that was one big long
demonstration for Wilson down in
old st. Looie, something like the one
when Bryan was nominated with his
crown of thorns and cross OF gold.
The only difference was that Bryan
was wearing the gold and the other
fellows the thorns. This time Bryan
had the thorns and Wilson the gold.
According to the ever reliable
Democratic press dopers the Wilson
ovation or demonstration lasted just
two hours and twenty
.m-i-n-u-t-e-s by the watch. No mis-
take about that nowl You mathema-
ticians keep your noodle out of our
political business, will say those dope
fixers.
But who in all the world could ever
keep good joke? Not for US to try
it! An unhesrd Of New Jersey man
started something that even the police
force of old st. Looie could not stop
for just 2 HOURS AND 20 MIN
UTES by the alarm clock.
They say it was this way. Wescott
made fine nominating speech and
Wilson was nominated at 1852, just
8 minutes before midnight. Then the
crowd went wild and cheered for Two
Hours and Twenty Minutes. That
was a long ovation. They say that
it was the longest ever given. When
it was all over the convention settled

ORAToRY NEVER DID
ELECT PRESIDENTS

The Democratic party like the Re
publican party has had some very
able speakers. There is no question
about w. J. Bryan being able to as
semble large audiences thruout the
country on most any subject upon
which he wishes to discuss. The
American people like to hear able
speakers because they are excellent
entertainers.
However, going back over the his
tory of the Unites States it will be
noticed that oratory has not been the
chief element in the making of pres
dents. Daniel Webster was one Il
the greatest orators this country has
produced, but he could not be pres
Ident. Henry Clay was a magnifi-
cent speaker but the people did not
take TO his advice very well when j;
came to electing presidents. W. j
Bryan has no doubt been the most re.
markable of them all, but he toe
could not arouse the American people
with his oratory to the extent tnai
they forgot the fact that now ano
then the speaker is considerably larg-
er than his subject. 1t is possible
for great principle to make little
speaker bigger, but it is hard work
Tor big speaker to make litti,
subject big. The Democratic party
has been very fortunate in having
their big speakers yelling their heads
off over little subjects that do moi
appeal to our practical, deep thinking
people.

THANKS FOR COMPLIMENTS

1t is Il great pleasure to realize
that more and more the readers of
the American press are discriminat-
ing in favor of the papers that are
willing to print the facts even if those
facts are not t. the liking of the
publishers.
All over this country there is a
cry going up against those papers
that distort the news. 1t is true that
we are just passing thru period
that has been marked by wild SEN
sationalism. During such period
the biggest "Jim Grow" could attract
the most attention, but our people
have become disgusted and are now
demanding of the press that the facts
be published so that the people them
selves may draw their own conclu-
sions.
We have already entered upon a
period of reaction. 1t is moving west
ward from the east. The best evi-
dence that it has reached the Rocky
mountain region is In the reception
that the yellow Denver press got in
trying to defeat Bob Speer for may
or of Denver. He had the business
press of Denver on his side and the
"yellows" against him, hence his big
majority.
1t is our object to give the people
OF the San Juan true press report
that they many have the satisfaction
of deducing their own conclusions. 1t
will be our constant effort to keep
our opinionative matter in the edi-
torial columns, particularly those po-
litical. We are receiving many comp
liments for our efforts in this direc-
ton.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-Five
bodies were washed ashore following
the wreck of the coast steamer Bear
which ran in the rock in the fog last
night. The accident occurred near
Cap Mendocino. It is feared life
boat filled with the rescued was lost.
The Bear carried 120 passengers
and a crew of 82. All were trans
ferred to life boats. After the wire
less call for help, the battleship
Oregon and several steamers report
ed to the scene.
At o'clock this morning all ex-
cept two lifeboats had unloaded thei,
passengers on light ship near Eu-
reka. 1t is reported one is tryin to
land in the surf near the cape.
1t is estimated the life boat lost
contained thirty persons, mostly
women and children. 1t capsized in
the surf near the cape in the darkness
and their fate is unknown.
Nine lifeboats with sixty of the
rescued reached the light ship. A
rescue ship picked up two lifeboatS

HUGHES AND ECONOMY

Further consideration and careful
analysis of tile opening statement
made by Mr. Hughes in the coming
presidential campaign bring out a
most important point. The state
ment thruout is instinct with one con
viction, which is neither dramatic nor
sentimental, but which presents as
important need as America has to
day-the need for efficiency and
avoidance of waste.
II is the conviction which puts der
initeness into Mr.. Hughes plank
upon the army. He does not attempt
to give figures upon the size of our
military establishments, but he does
undertake to say that under his ad-
ministration waste will be cut down.
We believe him, too. We can see him
vetoing pork-barrel bills and forcing
congress to meet face to face the
enormous waste in the useless army
posts and political navy yards. Hay,
Daniels and their kind have lodged
this absolutely.
We can see Mr.. Hughes cutting
down waste in the process Of our
national life wherever it is possible
for the government to inspire less
ening Of wastage and heightening
of efficiency. He did this when he
was governor Of New York. He
proved his ability to understand the
economic organization Of life by his
analysis in the life insur-
ance sxamina13eu.

HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS

The story of the Republican Nation
al convention has been told in The
Capital and need not be retold. Moth
ing unusual happened. The conven-
ton lasted from Wednesday forenoon
until Saturday evening.
The nominees are Justice Charles
Evans Hughes for president and
Charles Warren Fairbanks for vice
president.
Better nominations could not have
been made.
Both men are of the highest type
Of citizenship. No apology need be
made.
1t was evident from the opening
hour of the convention that justice
Hughes would be the nominee. 1t
was not so evident in regard to the
vice presidency. Several good men
We're mentioned but the selection fell
upon Fairbanks because he is tried
and true.
The platform adopted meets every
demand. 1t is chart for the sue
cessful management of the United
States. The platform and nominees
will have the support of Colonel
Roosevelt. And practically every
progressive Republican will follow his
lead.
The country needs Republican ad.
ministration. 1t needs Hughes md
Fairbanks. 1t is pity they cannot
be inaugurated tomorrow, Half of
our troubles will be settled the mo
ment they take office.
When the Mexicans discover that
the Republican party is once more
united, they will either push their
troubles onto US while weakness is
in power or they will prepare. to make
less trouble.
Hughes and Fairbanks are neither
pro-German nor anti-German. They
simply stand for the United States
|of America, and they expect every
body to do the same thing.

LONDON, June i6.-Apprehensive
of the allied offensive, the Germans
are concentrating on the western,
front. 1t is generally believed here
the big drive will start when the Rus
sian offensive gives the Germans no
choice between having their line in
France or Russia cut.
After two days inaction, the Ger
mans again attacked both flanks Of
the Meuse near Verdun, but were
heavily repulsed. The Germans at
tackled at Deadman's hill, seven times
having captured Czernowitz.
The Russians are advancing toward
Stanislauward. If the Russians oc-
cupy the rich Hungarian plains it
will be serious blow to the central
powers, which are dependent upon
the coming harvest.
