Henry Watterson says: “The collegian as a rule is not 2 success in politics.” As well might Mr. Watterson assert that the collegian ts not a success in any other business or profession or trade, according in which. ever of these he may choose to classify politics. To insure minor success politics may best be regarded as a trathet requiring a long apprenticeship and a great deal of technical knowledge. To become a successful ward politician requires at least as many years of training as to learn to set type or to fit horseshoes or to do plumbing. Success in such lines cannot come without training, and the earlier the training begins the more easily is the knack acquired_and the manual apti- tude made automatic. For the higher spheres of politics a liberal education is as necessary as fn the higher ranks of any other business or profession. It does not follow that college men are more apt to succeed, for that would tmpty that only fn colleges is a liberal education acquired, and some of the most broadly and best educated men were never matriculated in any educational insti tution which gives parchment certificates of learning. Whether a man highly successful in politics has the untversity educa- thon of President Roosevelt or the wide literary knowledge of Senator Quay or the practical business learning of Mark Hanna, he will always be found to possess a wide store of knowledge of men and a broad general <~ 'There should be some way to be rid of the nuisance of the old-fash- Where the underground trolley system has been rails laid which are not Such an obstruction to street traffic as the old-time rails of the horse-car The unused tracks on Vesey street, the unnecessary tracks on Amster- dam avenue, the old University place branch and other miles of rails which Trucking in New York is needlessly expensive.

Just as there are many excellent, honest, faithful men whose intellectual limitations prevent their rise from the fire-box to the throttle, so the lower ranks of politics are filled with men whose mental boundaries mit their political careers, A BURGLAR’S NAP, ‘A burglar should not fall asleep while at work.
