THE AUTO IN COLLEGE.

The president OF Princeton University has writ
ten to the parents and guardians Of all undergrad
yates suggesting that the automobile is positive
detriment" to the search for knowledge within
scholastic walls. Dr. Hibben believes that sit would
be desirable If students at Princeton, during the
formative periods of their lives, would realize the
value to themselves and their fellows Of simplicity
in living and of the elimination of unnecessary lux
uries." A great many college presidents and a null
titude of parents will say Amen"
The college generations OF today live life OF
ease and comfort undreamed of few decades aga
in the average university. ANY aumnus who hat
been away even so brief span as one two de-
cades is likely to be amazed by the more expensive
standards of living established since his graduation
In the last quarter century colleges generally have
been forced to unite economy to pleas for greater
endowments to keep up with the legitimate demands
for broadening scope of instruction including costly
laboratories and other equipment. At the same
time paradoxically enough, many students, having
been given more to spend by a wave of sensational
prosperity, have spent 1t freely; and
other students have been driven to greater and
greater sacrifices in the endeavor to cope with the
advancing cost Of tuition books, and ordinary ex-
penses of living.
Success has ruin'd many man." said Franklin.
And unaccustomed prosperity has ruined the chill
dren Of more. There is no royal path to geometry
now any more than there was in Euclids day. And
while it may be true that abundance is the nurtur-
ing patron Of the arts and of learning in the broadly
national sense, 1t only too often sleeps the
Of the individual in soul-deadening inertia.
The Princeton president disclaims any intention
TO legislate such foolish undergraduate Inquiries
the automobile from college life but drastic action
to enforce a fair measure of simple living among
the student-youth would be fully justified.

IMPORTANT TO NEW MEXICO.

The most important bill to the people OF New
Mexico since statehood achieved. is the one
introduced recently in the senate Of the United
states by Holm O. Bursum for the cessation of the
unreserved federal lands to the states in which they
are located.
Senator A. A. Jones is In entire accord with
the BILL and he and Senator Bursum are quite
confident that it will be passed through the senate
with little difficulty. Its path through the lower
house will not be so easy, but they have confidence
that justice for the public land states will be
achieved eventually.
The bill provides for the leasing sale of the
lands and the following method Of distribution
of the proceeds: one-fourth to go to reclamation
outright because part of the reclamation fund is
already derived from the leasing or the sale
Of public lands; the remaining threefourths
to be used one-fourth for the maintenance
of common schools one-fourth for the institutions
Of higher learning and one-fourth for the mainte-
nance of public highways
Only incomes from leases or interest on funds
derived from sales to be used for the schools
and maintenance of highways, The funds derived
from three-fourths Of the lands when sold, are to
become permanent endowment for the mainte-
nance of schools and highways
1t is estimated that the public lands which
would thus be ceded TO the state of New Mexico
would have a sale value of not less than sixty mil
lion dollars in the course Of the years. The lease
money for the lands before the sale would go to
the state; after SALE the state would tax the lands
and also have the interest on the funds derived
from the sales.
The reclamation fund for New Mexico would
not be less than fifteen million dollars. The income
from fifteen million rolars would go to the COM
mon school fund; the income from another fifteen
millions would be divided between the State uni
versity the Agricultural college, the Normal univer
sity at Las Vegas and the Normal college at Silver
City in such manner the state authorities might
determine; the income from still another fifteen
millions would go to the public roads.
The interest the permanent fund, thus
created should not be less than two and half mill
lion dollars net annually, all of which would be
saved to the taxpayers Another million dollars
should come to the state in the shape of new taxes
By Just much should the taxes of the people
who now live In New Mexico be reduced.
1t is tremendously big thing for the state and
the two United States senator's representing the
two great political organizations, will be able to
line up enough votes to put It through the senate
quickly and they believe they line up enough
votes to put it through the lower house. The citi-
zens of the state should furnish them with adequate
support

with sigh into the waste-baskets of the world
Their contents yesterday today, and for all time
to come are the true index OF human progress. It
Is by what we discard, truly as by what we uti-
lie, that we shall be Judged.
The musing of the Great Philosopher on waste
baskets is tinged with pathos. These ultimate re-
posltories Of human endeavor are often filled with
fond aspirations to naught; with hopes built
on shifting sands; with of time spent of tasks
bright in promise, but meager in fufillment. I'm
finished abors of love are here, and scraps of en-
deavors which should never have been begun. These
things discarded come from the hands OF school
children and teachers; from housewives and moth
ers; from artists and artisans; from princes ana
paupers and statesmen and prophets
And yet. the Great Philosopher will assure US
there is no need for encouragement. The hope
which is grudgingy surrendered to the wastebasket
Is but supplanted by better one; the plan which
finds its way into the waste basket beside the litter
of day, begets another plan, another dream, one
less imperfect than those that went before, For
It is by discarding the imperfect and building
anew that civilization has supplanted savagery

THE WASTE BASKET.

Our civilization is to be Judged just as much by
our Massachusetts, as by sky-scrapers. Indeed
the musings of the Great Philosopher will be given
over to this wide-mouthed receptacle Of tagends
just much to the more substantial and spec
tacular inventions and creations OF man; 1t will
inspire reflections not to be drawn from pyramids
and subway tunnels and steam engines
The waste-basket is an institution universal and
permanent. Thrones and affairs may crumble but
all the frills and fneries Of these vanishing works
of find their resting place in the waste-basket
Empires flourish, and in the end come to nothing
in the waste-basset of time The waste-basket has
outlived the inexorabe laws of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS; it will remain last to receive all the dis
carded hopes and strivngs OF mankind.
Human progress is to be understood only in the
Light Of what is tossed thoughtlessy or dropped

HAYWOOD BROUN
Sees Many Things After Dark.

Seeing Things at Night" by Hey.
| wood Broun. (Harcourt Brace.)
Haywood Broun, after Seeing
Things at Night" retires to some
! ivy-clad skyscraper and gives vent
to several and varied thoughts up
on everything in general.
He dilates with profJ ina cave
lessness upon things from How TO
Be Lion Tanner" to the intricate,
but at times necessary art, of
Holding a Baby" OF course, his
analytical tendencies take care of
amy minor points of technique, and
his conclusions are fresh ana Cr-
.tertaining.
Under the division headed "a
Reviewers Notebook" Broun Of
fers many specimens of his r.
freshing scepticism. He quotes
Pierre V. r. Keys in his book on
John Mccormick, as writing: Tie
began to sing-he sings today
and will go on singing until he
dies-for just one reason alone:
God meant that he should sing"
After this Christian statement,
Broun ups and says, 1--WE trust it
will not be considered an impiety
II we express curiosity as TO
whether the nasal quality was in
cluded In Gods intention
Again, after seriously discussing
Booth Tarkingtons place in AM
ertcan letters, which he finds to-
ward to the top of the list, he re-
marks that that writer seems to
use lead pencils in writing, and
that apparently the last pencil
grows dull, and rather than sharp
en- it to finish calmly, he finishes
anyway while the lead lasts. Then
he says, ION the other hand, we
feel certain that Harold Bell
Wright composes on typewriter,
pausing only once every "a hours
to oil the machine with a little ire
acle. Robert w. Cham
bers uses an adding machine and
Theodore Dresser favors an AK"
The book contains much serious
work, for example, the essay on
Deburau. The collection of re-
marks which are gathered in the
book is dedicated to III. 3rd," to
whom much space is devoted by
his writing father. P. G. II.
