OF course, the politician not overlook
ing any financial bets. He, together with
Crawford Fairbanks, moneybags of the
Terre Haute organization, built the French
Lick Hotel known as the american Monte
Carlo" and reputed to be the finest hotel in
the country. Recently he is said to have
refused an offer of $30OOOOO for the place.
Franchises, banks trust companies, land
deals and hotel speculations have netted him
millions.
This man finally became State Chairman,
then National Committeeman. In 1904 he

that in the Bryan days, while Taggart always
supported him, he was never an enthusiast.

MAN is MORE THAN A MACHINE

OUR great-grandfathers would have been
" somewhat at a loss to account for the ap-
pearance of a society for the encouragement of
liberal studies For them most studies were lib
eral and the great movement for practically
was but beginning TO show itself Now, with the
pendulum swung TO the other extreme. the
Philadelphia Society for the Promotion of
Liberal Studies finds hard work to do, and its
third annual meeting next Saturday will
hardly be wordshaking event. The whole
question OF the classics is in reality, only a
small part of the great question OF why
young men and young women should study.
The feeling that every hour of booklearning
should be not only represented by but trans
latable into a given amount OF money is
prevalent. and the colleges of the country have
humored the feeling 10 their own temporary
advantage Eventually they may find that
they have lost their most precious gift. What
the college needs most to do Is 70 hght
eternally against the claim OF Immediate
values and against the intolerable narroWness
OF technical training. It is obvious that once
a man leaves college he viii have little time
for study little leisure for finer things than
those which make up his business, commercial
or Industrial life. The college can anticipate
the combining influences Of necessity ana can
convince each student that Homer has been
