that the republicans are beginning to

to get into control it is beginning to
be suspected that the democrats are

NEED BETTER ATTENTION.

Pretty good reason seems to exist
in Philadelphia, in view of the way in
which a Mexican shot UP the streets
Of that city a few days ago, for in
sisting that better protection should
be given to the public from such in
dividuals especially when it is no secret
that they are known to be abroad but
get too little attention except when
they have violent outbreaks.
1t can be thoroughly appreciated
that the authorities are from time to
time put in direct touch with such in
dividualS. 1t may be at a period when
they are not especially dangerous, it
may be at the beginning of their loss
Of balance or when there is a dispo-
sition to overlook the trouble which
is likely to follow their continuance
along the path they are headed. but
il has been repeatedly demonstrated
that the failure TO recognize the men
ace which they are has resulted in a
long list of deaths which could with
the placing of proper restraint upon
! such people have been prevented.
There seems TO be provision made
for such people after they have dem
| onstrated beyond doubt that they are
! dangerous by committing such deeds
as that fellow did in the Quaker City

WORKING WAY THROUGH COL.
LEGE.

What efforts some young men are
willing to make in behalf of an edu-
cation is pretty we'll demonstrated by
the report of Secretary Stokes of Yale
for the past year which shows
that there were 372 students
who were given assistance through the
bureau of self help whose earnings
from the work which they secured and
performed amounted to over $4,000.
This is of course nothing new for
students at YaleI and all such institu-
tons for that matter, for there nave
been those who could not have gone
through college but for the efforts
which they put forth to pay their way
while they were getting their educa-
ton. 1t makes it evident that where
there is a will there is a way and
there can be no question but what
this very experience in the lives of
these young men is bound to have an
important influence upon their whole
future. They are taught the value OF
money and the Importance of striving
for what they want rather than de-
pending upon someone else for theiy
tuition and expecting that a pun will
afterwards land them in some soft po-
sition for life,
Without doubt many of these stu
dents who are working their way
through college. earning anywhere
from $3.50 to S743 year. and in the
last year at Yale they numbered 0vel
quarter of the total enrolment. hat
been engaged in similar efforts before
entering upon their college course, and
it is certain that such have been and
will continue to be greas inspiration
for others who can see no other way
| of acquiring a higher education. Moth.
ing but the highest credit can be
given them for their efforts and those
who can will doubtless follow them ~
their future undertakings with in
creased interest and respect.
