A FCTTKI1KD ilRXUIACTION
The presa generally of the country Is
deploring the unfortunate conditions nan
surrounding the Iceland Stanford Jr
university of California and which
threaten permanently to destroy the
prcStlRo and future tsseifulncM of that
great institution
When Sir and Mrs Leland Stanford
lost tholr only eon they determined to
found as a monument to him a groat
university Million were dovoled to that
purpo o by Senator Stanford during his
lifetime and after his death his widow
contributed yet mHJlono more to the en-
dowment and Improvement of the Institu-
tion The best talent In the tvorld was
sought to fill the various chairs until one
of the ablest faculties n tho United
States was gathered together
Unfortunately Mrs Stanford has felt
as If tho universJty was a kind of private
establishment of hers and that the pro-
fessors wero hired and paid on tho sjihc
principle that she tvo d Hiiro and pay a
cook or a body servant She has made
tho mistake of underfttmUlng the in-
dependent spirit the pride of opinion
and courage of convention of really In
tellectual men men who are loaders in
tholr chosen spheres of work
The attempu of Olra Stanford there-
fore to exerolse a close consorshlp of
tho doctrines taught and vlcwa vhancod
by tho faculty of the unUcrslty has ro
MUlted In a number of Indignant resigna-
tions and now tho great Institution of
loarnlng Li sSmost inextricably embar-
rassed scholars of spirit and great rop
ntatlon can not be fecurod to fill the
pltce of thoao who Save reslgued and
tho discipline tho morale and tho educa-
tional programme of the institution nre
sadly disturbed
It Is Indeed deplorable to see so noble
n school with uch splendid appliances
such wealth and possibilities for tho fu-
ture thus crippled If not forovor ruined
by tho Bhortslshtednens of an old lody
who insists on nuking the JnHtltutlon
not a great university tail the mero per-
sonal organ of her Ideas
xlreat Hchooa tntibt be left alono after
they have been properly equipped To
attempt from the oulMde to < lctnto their
teachings to hamper genius and learning
employed In their conduct by cither per
nonnl religious or ipolltlcal Influences
means loovdlniily to limit the extent of
their growth and prestige and circum-
scribe their ephr rea of usefulness It
may too fortuntto in one nenso that thU
trouble In 1ho Stanford university has
nrlsen for It ought to serve as a warn
ing to those hack of tho resources uud
uunagemont of nl great rducmtlantl ln
alltutlono never to attempt to destroy
tho tmophoro of complete Intolloetutl
Independence about a school If they
would have It educate men In tho higher
sense and s all inon should be educated
tiers a good example 0 y voif nleu often
become the atiltitt ef the otd moralists

that the Quay fight In Pennsylvania has

The upbuilding of the navy ts one cf
tho thingi In which 1 belcve all Ameri-
cans should tako a patriotic pride said
Judge Hamilton True of Mississippi who
Is a guest at the Normandle The army
is of secondary importance While I be-
lieve tho army should be of sufficient
size to pioperly police our new posses-
sions and form 3 nucleus for a land force
In time of war it can always be expand-
ed or contracted to meet situations n
they arise Not so wth our navv It
takes a long time to ihui d a battleship
amuch Jotger time thsn It takes for the
Nation to get Into w r Ouic we sar
out to thrash some other power we want
and expect to do the job quickly It is
lite time to begin tho building of battle-
ships for u c in a war already begun
Therefore we should build warships when
wa have le3st tire for them If we are
going to ihe a world power wo h vc got
to have u word power navy and congress
can not be too liberal in lib provisions
for such to plcso the people
