COLLEGE W. JULIE J. - / wish
now that 1 had been sentenced to
serve four years in Joliet than to
have been sentenced four years in
college, as l was.
Brother Sullivan, the warden at
Joliet, is a pretty good fellow if one
behaves and does what is rightH 1t
is a real college where men learn a
trade, where they keep regular hours,
have enough to eat and medical
care, where, to a certain extent,
reading matter is allowed, an Occa-
sional movie, a lecture and regular
services.
Can a college student say all this?
How many college students learn a
trade, get the right noUrishment, the
right medical care and the regular
hours?
How many college men are free
from worry? Worry kills more peO-
pie than work. Men in prison do not
have to think if they do not want to.
But college men have to think. Some
of them go hungry and without
enough clothes to wear.
The man in prison is not aggra-
waited or iTTitated by woman. He does
not have to fight the darts of Cupid.
But the poor college student, about
the first thing he does is to fall in
love until he can't eat, sleep or set
tie his thoughts.
The man in prison knows Just
where his next meal is coming from.
but most college students don't know
whether they are going to eat at all.
The professor" at Joliet may take a
few BertiIlOn measurements which
have to do with the body, but college
professors are constantly taking
brainmeasurements of the student in |
cIassrOOms. To fail to pass these |
measurements means that the stu
dent must take the whole year over |

Society may be divided into four
classes: The plutOcTacy, the thinkers,
organized labor and the mental mob.
Big refOTmers are among the think
ers. TOngue-lashing refOrmers don't
win. RevOlutonists represent caIam-
ity. Failures are on the reform or

stuff.
It makes no difference that so
many imagine that the plutes and
public officials are. the bUlwarks of

the great and only champions of JUS

against their hypOcrisies should be

A Guilty Conscience,

\ young fellow who was the crack
sprinter of his town-somewhere in the
south-was unfortunate enough to have
a very tardy laundress. One evening,
when he was out for practice run in
his rather airy and abbreviated track
costume, he chanced to dash past the
house of that dusky lady, who at the
time was couple of weeks in arrears
with his washing.
He had scarcely reached home again
when the bell rang furiously and an ex.
cited voice was waited in from the
porch:
