‘LIFE: re PLEASURE VERSUS WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY, WALL STRERT RROWN CAN'T ESCAPE TH Sinews. D® ANDREW D. WHITE'S pro- posal that twelve millions be raised to enable universities to teach honest politics seems like a species of trifling. Honest politics, as every- body knows who has dipped into it, is a very recondite subject. A mere smattering will do more harm than good. From the very idea of Bachelors of Honest Politics who know no more about honest politics than Bachelors of Arts know about arts, the right-thinking involuntarily recoil. At a conservative estimate, it will take at least a hundred millions to enable the universities to teach honest politics. The correspondence schools might do it for twelve, but not the universities. Educators going out after the coin should always keep in mind those fine, brave sentiments of Ol Mis Means: “Git a plenty while yer gittin.” QTRANGER: Do your Chicago society women have * much to do? No. Undo, Native: THIS 18 THE ACTOR WHO SANG “IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME"? ALL LAST WINTER. M RS. VON BLUMER: What are yon going to do h those awful cigars?
