OM Yale comes a report of an instructor who has written a F’ play with a moral eo academic as to be worth at least as much ¢ =: NOtice as would be given to a new form of play in football. The hero, a despised tutor, struggles through college, surpassing the depraved son of a rich man, but in the end what tif one gained through study the other wins by trickery. ‘The moral is that as the university confers the same degree on both, virtue at Yale doesn’t get the reward it merits. ‘The excellence of this moral lies in the high esteem in which the degree is held. The writer of the morality evidently believes it of so much value that the teaching given and learning acquired count for nothing. Because the rich trickster gets an equal B. A. with the diligent student, rewards are supposed to be even. In a measure it is pleasing to know this high value is placed upon degrees at our uni- versities, for they are worth so little outside, some folks think the parchment wasted they are printed on. But it would also be pleasing if Yale would instruct her youth in the value of wisdom as well ae of the diploma. a re THE PRESIDENT’S SUNSET GLORY. IDENT TAF T'S budget message spreads before tlio country P uch a glittering array of goodly things it will surely cause regret he did not think of it four years ago. By a budget system, says he, we can save about two-thirds of the present enormous salary roll of the civil service, we can reduce military expenses and at the same time make the army more efficient. We can suve many millions in rents, more millions from wasteful appropriations. We ¢an improve Washington City to the extent of $100,000,000 and pay of the public debt in twenty years. Were such a promise pressed to performance it would make a record of which any administration might be proud. Unfortunately it ia not the manifesto of an incoming but of an outgoing power.
