POLITICS COSTS MONEY
Reformers Have No War Chest to
Draw From-Haverford Col
lege and the n. c. Of L.
VIM. Moser's Collee-
ton Of Essays
BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

TOHN G. WINSTON told me within
- sixty days of his death that in some
years he had spent as high as 500, 600
in politics.
He went on to explain that he spent
IL in gathering information, in contri-
buttons to Nform associations and for
other political purposes outside the
recognized Republican organization.
\ L thought the sum was rather large,
but he insisted that il was correct.
1t takes tremendous amount of
money to run politics. That's the rca
son why political organizations are
usually linked up with the police power.
Vice and crime and special privileges
are placed under contribution. They
supply the sinews of wnr for cam
paigns.
Another source of revenue is the
officcholders.
That is why it is so difficult for re-
form movements to win. They do not
possess war chest whose contents are
contributed from the sources named.
MIR. WINSTON in his will originally
A'A provided for beqnest of $4,000 to
Haverford College. After his death it
was discovered that he had annulled this
in n codicil.
That sum would have come in mighty
handy to the college at this time, seeing
that it is asking its friends and former
students for $1,000 for its immediate
and future needs.
IL is interesting to note that Haver-
ford has established minimum scale
Of salaries: $4,000 for full professor.
$1,000 for associate professor, $4,000 for
assistant professor, with maximum of
$1,000 for instructors.
1t requires an endowment of S125 900
to establish a chair at Havcrford. At
least that is the figure set to create the
Francis Barton Gummere chair in Eng
lish literature.
College educations cost money now
adays; more so than ever before in the
history of this country.
Colleges and universities are losing
propositions. They could not begin to
exist IL compelled to depend alone upon
their income from the student body.
Haverford College has spent on its
students since 1850. in excess of re-
ceipts from them, a sum which, if IL
had borne interest at per cent since
its expenditure, would amount to more
than S4,O00,o0O.
