To-day he urged college men to in- terest themselves in politics, declaring that theilr services are needed by the State and nation, and that their ideal of fair play and honorable dealing must be carried into the world of politics, even though they are pretty sure to encounter opposition that is distinetly unfair, and/ possibly dishonest. “To-morrow afternoon,” said Partridge. “you will meet in a contest on the foot- bail field eleveh men from Stanford, and though the contest wiill be strenuous and hard fought, there will be fair play for all. You cannot expeet or hope for that in political contests, perhaps, but even if the prospect is distasteful, on that or any other account, still it is your duty’] and your privilege to take up the gage, help to fight the battle for good govern- ment and acquit yourselves like men at every stage of the fight.” Mr. Partridge was introduced to Profes- sor Charles Zueblin of the department of sociology of the University of Chica- go. Professor Zueblin is delivering a series of lectures before the California Club, and to-day delivered a message of hope to those who are interested in mu- nicipal reform matters. He declared that in spite of reports of corruption in vari- ous cities, they are not any worse gov- erned than are the States, and that tife abolition of municipal corruption can soon be effected if the truth is recognized that the real “grafter” is the rich cor- poration which buys ‘speclal ‘“rights,” and bribes officials to procure those “rights,” thus *grafting” in the most pernicious way of all. The speaker declared his belief that fu- sion of parties In opposition to “graft” is not so lfkely to be successful as straight, independent movements aimed at reform without regard to _political parties. In the absence of President Wheeler, who is journeying to the East, Professor Alexis A. Lange presided at the university meeting to-day.

In this emer- geney those who have been favored with the feachings and influence of Princeton should be neither blind nor deaf. True to her téachings they should be alert in demonstrating that Jayalty to her means loyalty to national honor and safety and obedience to her traditions and care for righteousness. They should do bat- tle under the bann beafing the device “Thou shalt not steal.”” — e————— WILL CARE FOR CHILDREN.

He reached fre- quently with his left, but it was appar- ent to him that it would not bring his man down. Landers made his mistake in the last flve rounds of the battle by trying to box. This gave Fitagerald a chance to bring over the right and in several of the con- cluding rounds he had Fred going to his corner in a wobbly state.
