TAKING UNIVERSITY
OUT OF POLITICS

Nevada needs to take the control of
its university out of politics" declares
the United States bureau Of education.
OF the department Of the interior, In
its report, just published, of the survey
Of the University of Nevada. made last
year at the request of the Nevada
legislature.
Until it does so. the report points
out. mo permanent improvement in
the relations between the university
and it's constituency may be expected,
nor will the university be able TO fur
nish the leadership which the state re.
quires."
That the board of regents should
consist of seven members. appointed
for eight.year terms By the governor.
is the chief recommendation made by
DR.. Samuel p. Capen, and Edwin b.
Stevens, who made the survey in Sep
TENDER, 1916. The survey declares:
"ThC weaknesses of popular election
must be painfully apparent to the in
tclligcrt citizens OF Nevada. The
drawback which overshadows all
others is that the university is thus
drawn unavoibably into the turmoil OF
partisan politics. The university Is
not on such occasions a major political
issue, however. As far as its man
agomcnt is an issue at all. II ia dis

many have led students to believe
that these wonderful instruments were
devised by German brain. The Ger
mans are mechanics, not inventors.
But the use OF the compound mic
roscope Pasteur. the French biologist,
as early AS 1857. demonstrated a con-
nection between microscopic organ
isms and disease. This was nine years
before DIR. Koch. the German bacter-
iologist, had graduated. In this con
nectiion the important antiseptic sur
gerry of DR.. Lister of England should
be recorded. Edward Jenner. the dis
coverer of vaccination, and Harvey.
the discoverer OF the circulation OF the
blood. were Englishmen. An American
taught the world the use of anesthe-
tics. Our dentists excel all others.
They are employed by many crowned
heads-even the kaiser has his.
The Teutons have not shown the
engineering skill OF the French. who
cut the Suez canal, or Of the Ameri'
cans. who Joined the Atlantic and the
Pacific at Panama. The decimal or
metric system by which the Germans
make their measurements is a gift
from France. The method by which
they make their steel is that OF Sir
Henry Bessemer OF England. Many
of the fruits and vegetables of which
they eat an enormous quantity were
brought forth by our own peerless
Burbank. No wonder that the Ger
man can 'goosestep' so high. for what
else have they practiced?
"I.avoister, the father of modern
chemistry, was a Frenchman; Lin
naeuss. the founder OF botany, was of
Swedish origin. To Hutton OF Eng
land we are indebted FOR geology; to
Maury OF Virginia for the 7hysiog-
raphy of the sea; to Descartes OF
French parentage for analytical geom'
etry; to Comte of France for soci'
ology: to German for sauerkraut and
pretzels. Germany has not contrib
uted her quota toward the worlds ad
vancement. How she struts in her
foreign plumage! She is neither in
ventive, resourceful, or original.
"She has made no geographical dis
coverie5 o. importance. Her neigh

discovering various portions OF the
New World? Did she establish any
colonies? | thank God she did not.
Her sons di dnot compose the crew
OF Magellan's fleet, the first to cir
cumnavigate the globe. A German did
not discover the north pole, not lead
the way toward the south pole. II
is high time to cease talking of Ger
many's achievements unless one wish
es to indulge in satire.
History and study will reveal that
the worlds greatest teacher. scientist
inventor. discoverer, statesman. gen
eral, philosopher, preacher, painter

To the Editor of The Star:
May I call attention, through the COL
umns of The Star. to the extremely bad
service now being given to the patrons
OF the Washington-virgini railway
line between Alexandria and Washing

ditions caused tremendous increase in
the traffic on this line. the service has
been growing from bad to worse. We
have been unable to get seats. Ere

occasion for the line to be tied up dur
Ing the evening rush hour for so long
time as to create almost a condition
of panic at the 18th street terminal in

this morning when the o'clock car
from Alexandria was so crowded that
some persons got off the car uptown
and walked back to get on the sos
but no sos came along. About ten min

the starting point. one right after the
other. which should have been the sos,

held until $40 and allowed to carry
passengers. Three blocks away from

that il was impossible to close the plat

wait still longer. in the hope that the
third.car would come along Immediate

people who were expected to be at their

FOUR DEATHS INVESTIGATED.
Two Suicides by Cyanide of Potas
SUM and Gas Found.

Coroner hewitt and Deputy Coroner
Carr concluded. yesterday afternoon. in
vestigations of four deaths reported by
tho police. Two deaths resulted from
illuminating gas, one from pneumonia
and one from cyanide OF potassium.
An autopsy performed on the body of
John Hasson, lodger at Az 9Th
street, supposed to be victim of gas
poisoning, showed that he died of
pneumonia.
Louis Wolf, fifty years old. died in a
room at ZIG B street as result of gas
poisoning. A gas fixture had two keys
so close together that when the gas
was turned OF one key tended to strike
the other key. turning the gas on again.
Allen Snow, about forty years old. a
ledger at 329 E street northeast, was
the other victim of gas, which he had
inhaled through a tube. Coroner hewitt
concluded he had done so with suicidal
intent.
James NJ. Hart, a former resident OF
Chicago, committed suicide by taking
cyanide of potassium. He was found
dead in his room at 436 H street New
Year day by his wife. An autopsy de-
termined the cause of death.

TO PROVIDE HOMES FOR

Emergency Housing Association Con-

July /.

Three propositions for providing
homes for the 5000 alley dwellers of
the District, who will be turned out on
the streets when the law closing Wash
tngton's alleys goes into effect, July l..
were outlined at the initial meeting or
the Emergency Housing Association IN

night
The suggestions were: That the DIS
trict float bond issue to finance the
erection of small dwellings,. to be rent
ed to the alley jewellers at $3.50 room
per month; that Congress be asked to
appropriate outright the amount need
ed to erect the houses, or that private
capital be induced to erect the dwell
ings.
The organizers of the association be-
lieye that they can get New YORK men
to finance the plan if these men can be
assured that the alley law Will not be
repealed.
ton was the principal speaker. He SAID
he did not believe Congress would eS-
tend the date of operation OF the law or
repeal it, and that plans should be be-
gun now for sheltering these alley
jewellers when they are turned out OF
their present homes.
It was decided to meet next Wednes-
day night and make a definite decision
as to which line of action the associa-
ton will work on. Permanent officers
of the association were elected, as fol-
lows: Rev. ]. Milton Waldron, presl-
