The New York Evening Post was is- sued experimentally and briefly as a tab- loid and then went back to the standard size. While tabloids may contain as much reading matter as the regular papers, ref- ‘erence to one as the big papers and to the ‘other as the little papers, is not relished by the latter. The slogan “multum in parvo” lacks saving grace, presumably because not over-smany newspaper readers read Latin. Everything comes to him that waits. The Citizen advocated the aquisition of an aquarium for more than a decade of years, ever since the present publisher controlled the policy of the paper, and now this de- sideration is about to be realized. Readers of The Citizen are familiar with the box under the masthead reciting the improve- ments this paper considered chiefly de- sirable. Besides an aquarium, other im- provements recommended ave: Water and sewerage; bridges to complete road to the mainiand; free port; hotels and apart- ments; bathing pavilion; airports—land and sea; consolidation of county and city ACCEPTING ONE-SIDED SFORIES | (Bradenton Herald) ~ Another escaped’ prisoner,.James A. LaRue, has returned to his home in the north to tell his story of the alleged atro- cities to which Flerida convicts are sub- jected—and is being believed, so much that a Chicago judge has promiser him | “every break in the world” in order to}? avoid being extradited by the Florida au-| 8 thorities. We wouldn’t presume to say ‘what kind of treatment the prisoner, received during the brief part of his fide, year sen- tence that was served but are satisfied that whatever it was it fit his case, that if his punishment was severe that his conduct wasresponsible. Of course, there are ex- ceptions, like the Maillifert case, which have been more soundly condemned within the state than outside it, which would show, if reason were employed, how utterly fool- ish it is to believe the story of every es- eaped prisoner. We haven’t enough guards to inflict the punishment that has been al- leged if they did nothing else but use Simon Legree whips. | Surely the judge in*the LaRue case would not have the public think -he be- lieves an individual seeking to avoid extra- dition to avoid service of a penal sentence would give all the facts in ‘the case. His admission that he broke into a Dade county dwelling “for curiosity” shows a law to have been violated. His story was that he intended no violation by his conduct, hut that, it should he realized, is his story and certainly breaking into a home is a queer way to harmlessly amuse one’s self. But, because the judge who heard his story has a son who once became involved in trouble in the state, he is willing to, believe any- thing the escaped convict says, suggesting @ queerness of the judicial mind that is not readily understood since we insist that ad- ministered justice must flow through such channels as these.

MISFITS IN COLLEGE ° The growing idea that a large percent- age of young men now in college would be better off elsewhere was emphasized by no less an authority than Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes, in an address at Brown Univer- sity, from which he was graduated in 1881. He roundly criticized the many mod- ern, college activities which have nothing to do with education, and which attract the mental: loafers. whose only ambition is to get by.and obtain a diploma... Referring to such a student, Mr. Hughes said: ‘“I should take him out at oncé and tell him to make his own way. Those who are nét 4 to: make! goed use of their college years would be better off elsewhere.” Neither Mr. Hughes nor any other sen- sible person would disparage the value of a college education, but the fact is that our colleges are encumbered with many stu- dents who have neither the capacity, the energy nor the ambition to profit by college training, SQME EXAM “BONERS” Two volumes of amusing “boners,” compiled by Alexander Abingdon from students’ examination papers, have been published recently.

The bid of the Boysen company fs $115,- 000. Work on the building must start within the next ten days. This will. be done, said Mr. Boy- sen, and, there will be no cessa- tion until the structure is com- pleted. The condition of William Gwynn, six year old son of Mr. and Mrs, Harry Gwynn, who was run over yesterday by an automo- bile, is reported as much improv- ed today. The little fellow was struck by the machine in front of the Elks.Club. He received a number of bruises about the head and body. The Park Committee, comprised. of Commissioners T. R.

He seems to think that the! world has not improved, but has degenerated, My old time friend seems te be a thorough fatalist. He is firmly convinced that everything is fore- ordained. He is content because he sees no reason to cross bridges ‘before he comes to them, He thinks he knows exactly where they are and that it is time enough] to eross them when he reaches them, I realize that the old man’s out- look is not entirely wrong. He is right to wait for the bridges un- til he comes to them. What is wrong is that there has been a rushing ahead and erection of | crossings, in many instances, be- fore the road to them has been built.
