New York's Position
in Higher Education

TT OW do New York's facili-
~ ties for higher education
compare with those of other
great cities? The following
comparison is fair estimate,
based on the latest available
statistics for three leading
cities and their suburbs:
Universities Enroll Productive
and Colleges ment Endowment
New York. 1900 $43.00o.000
cs;s.ss e1ss : .;s.,s,, 8 24O" s40'o00'o00
Boston ........ 3 1900 $70.00oooo
(Pop. l.ooo.oo0)
s(New York has also two Institutions OF
higher education maintained by tho CITY.
To bring New York's facilities
to. a level with those Of Boston,
her universities and colleges
would need a capacity of over
100000 students and an endow-
meat of over $400,00o,000.
To equal the average of Chi
cago and Boston, they would
need to be at least SO per cent
greater than they are at present.
Can the City of New York af-
ford to lag behind other cities
in its support of higher educa-
ticn? History shows a close
parallel between educational
leadership and material and
spiritual leadership.
Efficiency in the utilization of
funds and equipment may do
much. 1t cannot altogether off :
set the great disparity in ma
terial resources.
New York City holds position
OF responsible leadership in
world affairs. This position
can most surely be maintained
and strengthened by adequate
support OF New York's great
colleges and universities.

Postmaster Asks Business Men
To Help Solve Holiday Rush

Postmaster Morgan has again ap-
pcalod to tho business men of New
York to discontinue, RS far as possible,
the mailing Of large quantities Of cir
culars and catalogues during the week
Immediately preceding Christmas Day.
This is to enable the post-office to
handle the great quantity of Christ
mas mail which begins to run heavy
about two weeks before the holiday.
The postmaster stated that business
men aided him last year in preventing
congestion OF mail Mt that time by
Withholding mail which could be de-
ferred until after Christmas. In urg-
ing them to do the same this year, he
said that it had been asccrtaincd that
many persons transporting large num-
bers Of circulars and catalogues should
arrange their advertising campaigns so
that these can be mailed either before
December 10 or after the holiday rush
was over, without detriment to their
interests

PARIS, Nov. "a (By The Associated
Press Thirteen Americans, all of
them less than twenty-sx years old,
who had been serving in the Spanish
Foreign Legion in Morocco, arrived in
Paris to-day telling stories of hard
ships and cruel treatment. All having
seen action In France they were unani-
nous in agreeing that fighting the
Germans was "a comparatively mild
pastime compared with campaigning
against the Moors."
The Americans, who were accom-
panied by forty-three British legion
nares, now that they no longer are on
Spanish territory, told how they OBJ
tanned their release by swearing they
were Canadian subjects. This deception
was possible, they said, because the
Spanish officials kept no record Of those
who enlisted in the Foreign Legion.
All British members were allowed to
resign on November 1G, the Americans
reported, as result of letter of
protest written to Premier Lloyd
Der of the Legion.
The Americans left twenty-one of
their number behind in hospitals

China, for a united China under stable
government will not only largely re-
move Japan's anxiety regarding China's
safety ns we'll as her own, but Will BUY
more from her and sell more to her.
1t is really in order to help tho Chinese
government to make Itself strong that
Japan, among other measures she took
for its sake, has advanced her as much
as 250,o00,o00 yen.
Welcomes Equal Opportunity
With regard to the principle Of
equal opportunity for. the commerce
China, Japan halls it with open hands.
Japan has never wanted, nor tried to
monopolize the Chinese market. Not
only does she keep the doors wide open
in Manchuria, but she offers equal OPP
portunity for the commerce and indus
try Of all nations, even in her two
dependencies OF Corca and Form osa.

mines are being profitably worked by

the least moleststion.
ment not "to seek special rights or
privileges, which would abridgc the
rights of the subjects or citizens OF
friendly states" Japan has often been
misunderstood in this respect. She
has frequently been held up as being
guilty Of such acts, but the fact Is that
she has done nothing of the kind
Probably the suspicion against Japan
in this respect owes its origin to a
clause in the Ishii-Lansing agreement
in which Japan's special interests are
mentioned. The japanese, however,
claim no special interests except those
afforded them by the geographical po-
sition Of their country, similar to those
implied in the principles Of the Mon
roe Doctrine.
The contention set forth BY Or
Wellington Koo that China has the
right to raise her import tariff from
the present per cent ad valorem rate
to 1914 per cent, and must have the
proposal indorsed by the powers con.
cerned so that China may be relieved
Of the financial difficulties she is now
laboring under, is theoretically correct
and will find sympathetic echo from
all we'll wishers Of his country. !, for
one, sincerely hope that China will at
tain her desire in this respect and that
the powers will render her every posi-.
bic assistance to make her proposition
workable. But as in many other things
Chinese, there is in this matter some
thing that must be adjusted and eradi,
Gated before the proposed reform car
be carried out; that is, the likin sys-
tenn prevailing throughout China, which
is a great hindrance to the free ex-
pansion Of foreign commerce in The
interior.

a NDREW JOHNSONS presidency
4 n began with a great tragedy and
came near ending in another. With
twO-thirds majority in congress, his
opponents overrode his vetoes, seized
control of reconstruction. stripped the
president of authority to dismiss a
postmaster or to get rid of an enemy
even in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully eX-
ecuted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes, he
asserted the right, which never before
had been denied a president, to choose
his own cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department in
to a fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,
the house FASTENED to declare that "in
the name of the house of representa-
tiyes and of, the people of the United
States we do impeach Andrew john
son, president of the United States,

The radicals, who had secretly re-

upon him furiously. 1t was easy for
them to excite the doubt of the north
in this southerner, and to estrange
the Republicans from this Democrat.

That is the whole story of how
Grant got to Appomattox; he kept
right on. Starting without a friend
at his back, and with only long, IN
broken trail of disappointments be-
hind him, he never asked for promo
ton, an assignment or a favor, yet this
unambitious man rose to be general
In chief.
No conqueror ever was higher souled
than Grant at Appomattox. Sad
and depressed, as he tells us. at
the downfall of valiant foe, he met
Lee as If that foeman in war were a
neighbor in trouble.
When he became president it was
Grants misfortune to know no one ex-
cept his associates in the war. The
self-respecting among them kept away
from him. But the self-seekers and
the camp followers crowded about a
man who never forgot and never dis
trusted a friend, not even when he
came bearing a Greek gift, and Sena-
tor Charles Sumner spoke scornfully
of the administration as a "gift en-
terprise."
The many scandals of the admins

betrayal of Grants childlike conf

A liberal section of distinguished
Republicans revolted against Grants

were mostly leaders without follow
ers. The popular revolt did not come
until the panic of 1873 had plunged
the country into six years of hard
times, and q tidal wave in the cleo
ton of 1874 swept the Democrats
into control of the house.

| had shocked Charles Sumner into
starting a whispered discussion of his
enforced resignation. When he be-
came president his intemperance in
speech lent color to exaggerated re-
ports of his intemperance in drink.
For two years before Lincoln died,
the radical leaders had been insisting
that congress, not the president, should
| fix the terms of peace for the south
ern states. They had angrily de-
nounced him as a despot, an autocrat
| and usurper, because of his policy
of reconstruction. And congress had
persistently refused to admit the SEN
ators and representatives from the
states which he had reconstructed Oh
his liberal plan.
Apart from the Republican politi-
clans and mere faction of extrem-
lists. the north was in favor of Lin
coins moderate policies. But when
it became "a question between Johnson
and the radicals, the radicals won over
whelmingly in the congressional cleo
ton of 1866.
With a two-thirds majority in the
new house and senate, the Republicans
overrode the presidents vetoes, and
congress took command of the govern
ment. The reconstructed states were
cutlawed. The south was divided into
military provinces. The ballot was
thrust into the unskillful hand of the
freedmen, Notwithstanding it was still
denied the negro in, all but six states
of the north. At the same time
large class of Southern whites was dis
franchised for disloyalty in the war,
which left several states to pass under
the corrupt government of northern
carpet baggers' and southern "scal-
awags,' who gained power by manipG-
lating the ignorant black vote and who
held it by force of federal bayonets.
AS northern sire eaters" pressed to
the front, on one side of the Mason
and Dixon line, southern fire eaters
took the lead on the other side. BY
night the Ku Klux Klan rode their sa-
bic horses in a campaign of terrorism
to brighten the blacks from using the
ballot.
Party and sectional politics, north
and south, still was the marplot of the
Union. AS it had fostered disunion
before the war, it was doing its worst
tc prevent reunion, now that the war
was over.

and sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in the cabin home of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was In q

as the president and exclaimed in
surprise: "He is a very common look
ing man." Whereupon. he answered /:
"Friend. the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senators and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion BATH" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
in through the wide open door of his
office. Those who approached him in
