He is libelously represented as
sloppy or eccentric In appearance.
addicted to strange neckties and
knowing naught. nor caring, for the

AS n matter of fact, the college
officials hotly contend. he is neat

dom wears coonskin, is te4nperate in
habit, does not neck promiscuously,
as rule studies diligently and does
not cheat on his exams.
The collegiate type is rare at col,
lege.. they say, but Is often encoun-
tered elsewhere When such type
does enter the quiet c1oisters4 OF a
real college, he does not get the
respect of his fellow students, who
are busy as bees preparing for a
useful life and getting cultured. and
usually becomes an outsider in col

More Evidence Needed
But to secure an indictment a
considerable amount of evidence
must be placed before grand juries
by the district attorneys. This was
unnecessary in obtaining an infor-

The necessity for increased per-

General Mitchell, in connection with
his investigation of the condition OF

have asked for authority to hire

In some States, where wet senti-
ment predominates, and there are
no State laws, such as New York
and Maryland, and probably latS-
Wisconsin, most of the work of the
districts attorneys involves prose
