Lantern for New Year.

As the new year sweeps round the
world from the one hundred and
eiGhtieth meridian Of longitude, 1t gets
u bright if silent welcome from the
little village Of Weldon, near ketter-
ing, in Northamptonshire. There on
the tower Of the parish church stands
a lantern Is feet high. Erected about
200 years ago. the lantern was lighted
on winter nights to guide travellers
through the dark forest Of Rocking
ham. The railway and improved roads
have abolished the forest dangers, aud
now the lantern is lighted only once a
wear, on New Years eve, to welcome III
the New Year.

Roman Relics in London.

An old Roman building dating back
to the Third or Fourth century was I'M
covered by workmen in Grace Church
street, London, while laying postal
cables. One wall four and half feet
thick and extending downward 13 feet
appears to form part of an inner cham
Der of Roman building. The outline
OF the chamber is apparent and there
are painted ornamentations ON the
walls. Museum officials believe that
the walls belong to the original forum
Of Roman London.

ton OF these officials the 80 special

Van Dyke Hits Edison
Says Students Learn TO
Be Men, and Not Cogs
on Value Of Colleges

Princeton. n. j.. Nov. 2i.-The
recent criticism Of college men by
Thomas a. Edison has brought
forth . reply from Dr. Henry Van
Dyke, author and professor Of Eng.
lish at Princeton university.
He Ia right In saying that our
colleges are not what they should
be." said DR.. Van Dyke, but he N
dead wrong in thinking that he
could make them so. The very
things that he blames In them are
best and most hopeful. The object
Of q college education Is not 10 en-
able man 10 make a living, but 10
teach him how 10 enlarge and en-.
rich his mental and moral life, 10
be more Of a man, 10 be a real per.
son and not n cog in n machine Of
industry or trade.
"The trouble with Edison's idea
of education is that he merely wants
labor that he can use in business.
The colleges, at least most Of them,
want something better, men who
can use their minds intelligentIy
and sympatheticalIy with the larger
purpose Of mankind"

BY GEORGE r. AUTHIER,

by OEOVUE r. AllHhEh,
Wasbinsson Correspondent Tho Omaha Bee.
Washington. Nov. 81. - Especial
Telegram .'ganization Of a huge
government corporation, with a capt
tai OF 100000. 900. for the purchase
and sale Of farm products is the plan
which Senator Norris OF Nebraska Is
working out for the relief Of the farm.
ing Industry OF the country. He viii
shortly introduce bill providing
for II.
Senator Norris will offer this plan
as a method OF meeting needs OF both
producers and consumers and its sue
cessful operation will call for en-
largement OF the number Of produc'
ers' associations and the organization
Of consumers associations"
While the plan is revolutionary In
character, Senator Norris says there
is precedent for 1t In the organization
Of the United States Grain corpora
tion after which tho Norris scheme
ia being modelled. The difference will
be that while the grain corporation
confined It's operations to purchasing
wheat, the Norris organization would
purchase and sell and export all forms
of farm products, including livestock.
Little Catch In Merger.
Senator Norris has little faith In any
plan being worked as a result OF the
proposed merger of tho packers In
dealing with sales Of products which
would give relief to consumers who
innumerable middlemen. He looks
with dIsfavor upon the proposed
packer merger and says that II they
grow any larger they will control the
country.
BY the organization OF his corpora
ton he would establish government
Organization which would be gigan-
tic middleman dealing with the pro.
Queer on one hand and with the con-
sumer on the other.
The bill is similar TO one formerly
introduced by Senator Norris, but
which was superseded by an admins
tration measure sponsored by Senator
Kellogg Of Minnesota, which provided
for the extension OF life Of the War
Finance corporation. Senator Norris
admits this organization effected re-
lief, but says 1t merely postponed the
day when the farmer would be ruined
by being compelled tc meet impossi.
BILE obligations. In his judgment, the
administration plan offered no form
