UNIVERSITIES ALSO SCORED. Princeton’s President Says They Need Democratic Regeneration Claim* College Bred Man Won’t Do—Be lieves Lincoln Would Not Have Suc ceeded as a Graduate. Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of rriueeton university, as guest of honor at the Princeton alumni dinner in Pittsburg the other night made an ad dress which startled his 200 college hearers. He flayed methods of Protes tant churches of the present day, scored privately maintained colleges, of which Princeton is one, saying that the college bred man of today will not do, and then launched into political conditions, closing his speech with the following: “if she loses her self possession America will stagger like France through fields of blood before she again finds peace and prosperity un der the leadership of men who know her needs.” ‘‘Pew Rents Above Souls.” In part the head of Princeton uni versity said: "How does the nation judge Priuce tou? The institution is intended for the service of the country, and it Is by the requirements of the country that it will be measured. I trust I T&mmzwtte? xzreuKoyrs osr i WOODBOW WILSON, may be thought among the last to blame the churches, yet I feel it my duty to say that they, at least the Protestant churches, are serving the classes and not the masses of the peo ple. They have more regard for pew rents than for men's souls. They are depressing the level of Christian en deavor. “It is the same with universities. We look for the support of the wealthy and neglect our opportunities to serve the people. It is for this reason the state university is held in popular ap proval while the privately supported institution to which we belong is com ing to suffer a corresponding loss of esteem. His Warning to Colleges. “While attending a recent Lincoln celebration I asked myself if Lincoln would have been as serviceable to the people of this country had he been a college man, and I was obliged to say to myself that he would not. The processes to which the college man is subjected do not render him service able to the country as a whole. It is for this reason that I have dedicated every power in me to a democratic regeneration. The American college must become saturated in the same sympathies as the common people. The colleges of this country must be reconstructed from the top to the bot tom. “The American people will tolerate nothing that savors of exclusiveness. Their political parties are going to pieces. They are busy with their moral regeneration, and they want leaders who can help them to accom plish it Only those leaders who seem able to promise something of a moral advance are able to obtain a follow ing. The people are tired of pretense, and I ask you, as Princeton men, to heed what is going on.” An English ponUcSTspeaker was ad dressing an audience. Urging his hearers to give utterance to their views, he said, “If we remain silent *the people will not hear our heart rending cries 1” SAFE FOURTH OF JULY MOVEMENT Man) Cities Plan For a Quiet Celebration. GOVERNORS ARE INTERESTED. Statistics of Casualties From Use of Fireworks In Past Years Have In fluenced the Public In Adopting Safe and Sana Style of Independence Day. Pageant Features In Larger Cities. The compilation of the number of deaths and injuries caused by Fourth of July accidents, which for years has been a feature of a Chicago paper In its issue following independence day. has resulted in a constantly growing movement for a more sane manner of celebration. This year the movement has begun much earlier and Is much more widespread than ever before. Recent dispatches from various parts of the Union stated that action al ready has been taken looking to a sen sible observance of Independence day, an observance unattended by loss of life and limb. Tlte tables prepared by the Journal of the American Medical association showing the number of casualties as a result of the old style Fourth of July celebration have done perhaps more than any thing else to educate the peo ple up to the adoption of the safe and sane Fourth. In seven famous Revo lutionary battles—Lexington, Bunker Hill, Fort Moultrie, White Plains, Fort Washington, Monmouth and Cow pens—the number of killed and wound ed was 1,111). The number of the kill ed and wounded lust Fourth was 5,307 and for the last seven years 34,(503. While the education of the public on this question has been slow, there is no city which has adopted the sane and safe Fourth that has gone back to the old kind. Most of the cities have been looking for a substitute cel ebration that will please the children and give them something for the some thing that has been taken from them. The trend of thought In this lias been to make the day of the “national nui sance,” ns the Fourth lias been termed, a day of instruction, and In nearly all the cities the motive of the celebra tions lias been Instruction in patriot ism. The grownups will take charge of the celebrations this year and will reg ulate the use of whatever fireworks that nre permitted, the deadly variety being absolutely prohibited In the hands of the children. Iu this way It Is hoped that the death roll will be greatly reduced. Cities That Will Be Quiet. Among the cities which will join the movement are: Chicago, Washington, New York, Boston, New Haven, Conn.; Newport, Pawtucket, Pittsburg, Mont pelier, Vt., and Melrose, Haverhill and Fitchburg, Mass. In addition to the above definite ac tion Governor Weeks of Connecticut is urging a “day of pleasure anil profit instead of a day of unrest and horror,” and Governor Feruald of Maine is co operating in the plan. Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of New York city, president of the Society For the Pre vention of Unnecessary Noise, Is a prominent leader in the move to have the next Fourth devoted to oratory and parades rather than to the explosion of gunpowder. She has enlisted twenty three governors and a national associa tion for a sane observance and is sti’l engaged in promoting the movement. Mayor Gaynor of New York recently signified his intention of upholding the order prohibiting the sale of fireworks at retail from June 10 to July 10. This practically will prevent firecrackers and the like from reaching the individ ual exploder. Plans In New England. Many city councils in New England have passed ordinances restricting the use of explosives, while before the Massachusetts legislature is a bill of similar purpose. Springfield, Mass., where the "safe and sane” idea had its practical incep tion seven years ago, again will hold an orderly and instructive observance. In Boston parades, a choral festival, sports and fireworks displays are plan ned. In Washington young America will have the fund, but a citizens’ commit tee will take the chances. The scheme worked well when tried last year. This year, as last, not a dynamite cracker or a cap pistol or a “snake in the grass” will be sold. The celebra tion will start in a public square at sunup and will continue all day and probably until midnight. There will be band concerts, athletic games, boat races and all kinds of outdoor sports. Japanese flaffworks for day and other kinds for night will be used, _but jthe citizens’ committee will set them o.T Pageants Are Planned. In these celebrations ,-ii.J in all that have been planned iu the larger cities this year the pageant idea has been the predominating one. In many of the cities the floats are representative of local historical scenes as well as those of national interest. Detroit and, iu fact, nearly all of the western eittes are now beginning to plan for an orderly celebration of Independence day. marked by the abo lition of the barbarity which has filled the hospitals with maimed children. CHOICE SEAT FOR TAFT. Gold Plate Will Mark Where President Sees Hans Wagner Play. President Taft wants to sit where ha can best see the “Flying Dutchman.” Hans Wagner, play in the game be tween the Chicago Cubs and Ihe Pitts burg Pirates on May 3 at Pittsburg, which the president has promised to attend. After a careful survey base ball engineers have decided that box 125. directly over the Pittsburg play ers’ bench, about midway between the plate and first base, is the best van tage point for an angle on Wagner. Tliis choice seat had been sold for the season to a prominent business man, but he has given it up in defer ence to the president. He has done so with the agreement that after the presidential game the box will be marked with a silver or gold plate to set forth the fact that it did “on that memorable day. May 3, 1910, hold the mighty and distinguished figure of the then president of the United States.” A Biological Discovery. Eugene Baiaillou. professor of biolo gy at the University of Dijon, an nounced before the Academy of Sci ences In Paris the other night that he had succeeded in developing two tadpoles by producing traumatism in a frog's egg with a platinum wire. The experiment constitutes a most important advance in the phenomenon of parthenogenesis. De Halleylooyah Comet. O stnneh, yo'B a-sinilln’ en a-winkln’ on do paff.

MOVE FOR WORLD PEACE. i/lsrsachusetts Legislature Makes Di rect Appeal to Congress. The Massachusetts legislature has adopted a resolution requesting con gress to adopt a resolution that this nation will not increase its territory by conquest. The resolution con cludes: "That congress request and empower the president to instruct the secretary of state to transmit to the third inter national peace conference the informa tion that such a resolution has been adopted and that other powers be in vited to take similar action.” Bird Preserve For Audubon Society. A game preserve of 1,000 acres on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, to be main tained by the National Audubon So cieties, is proposed by James D. Hawks of Detroit, vice president of the De troit and Mackinac railroad. Mr. nawks is the owner of an extensive tract of land, fronting on the ocean, between the Annlsquam and Essex riv ers. He has been unsuccessful, he says, in preventing the killing of game on this property and has offered the use of the estate as a game preserve to the Audubon society. Half of success is In seeing the sig nificance of little things.—Henry F. Cope. j
