Mayor Mclean Talks
on Principles of
Govt. to w. C.. r. u.

Things every voter should know"
was the title of talk delivered Fri
day afternoon by Mayor Ernest l..
Mclean before the ladies of the w.
c. Il. u. The talk contained much
valuable information and such that
will help the voters in making their
choice in the future.
Mayor Mclean in his opening re-
marks told Of the fact that in Eng
land, at the time of the Declaration
Of Independence, people had no voice
in the government and that when
the constitution was signed, 1t in
vested the authority of government
here in the people.
By this constitution, the people are
allowed to elect their own officers
and through laws which have been
passed since that time. the people
may take matters into their own
hands through the referendum and
the initiative. At the time the con-
stitution was signed the people took
an active part in the work of gov
eminent, they knew the problems and
elected statesmen who stood on these
problems as they did. Now the .peo-
pie are lacking in interest on these
things and need stimulaingt.
The women have struggled for a
long time for the right of franchise
and now that they have attained
their goal they should remember that
it Is a sacred right and that they
should make the best of it. Through
the primary law they may do this if
they will study the problems of the
country and the men who they intend
to send to look after the affairs Of
State. The constitution has been so
arranged that the minority is pro-
tected and the superior court has the
right to interpret the laws so that
the rights of the minority are not in
fringed upon.
Mayor Mclean then spoke Of
things concerning the State and city
government. He mentioned that few
people knew that the bonded debt
was limited to certain sum by law.
and said that each citizen should
know what this sum was.
He then told Of the expenditures
Of the money of the city last year.
There are 1000 polls in the city and
the expenditures were: Schools.
$164,000; highways and sewers. $751;
749: State tax. $4,000; county tax,
$500; charities and pensions, $780,
600. There are in the city 1876 miles
OF highways. 81 miles of county
highways and % miles Of city streets.
In closing Mayor Mclean entered
an appeal for the citizens to back the
omcials in every possible way so that
they jnight do better for the people.

Ninety-one Per Cent Of Stu

~
Athletics.

HAMILTON, N. z. Jan. ST.
Colgate University actually has 81
per cent OF it's student body Of 715
men engaged in athletics during
the college year, statistics an
nounced today prove. The adop-
ton of a rule to allow practically
every man to engage in some sport,
II he so desires, undoubtedly makes
the percentage as large as it is.
Leading the entire list Is foot
ball, which annually engages the
attention of ninety-eight men.
Fifty-five are on the varsity foot
ball squad and interclass football
makes up the balance.
Closely pressing on the heels OF
football is track, which, with sixty
one in varsity track and twenty
three in interclass competition. has
a total OF eighty-four men.
Basketball interests a large part
of the student body, especially dur
ing winter months. Twenty men
are on the varsity squad, and inter
class basketball claims the efforts
of forty men.
Baseball, which leads all sports
in the spring months. holds the at
tention Of twenty men on the var
sity squad and twenty in the inter-
class games, played only between
the two lower classes.
Boxing, the newest sport at Col
gate, has thirty men on the SQUADS.
Lacrosse leads all the minor sports

It may be that Richard will come

an event O'Rourke will be lucky if

The next twenty-four hours should
tell the real story Of what Dempsey
