ered an address In which he criticised the
modern tendency of young people to
marry, move Into a flat and then get
themselves a cat. Governor Dunne baa

year.

the State Board of Agriculture, which
has encouraged the organization, to pro
vide a grand champion trophy for the
man In attendance at the next state fair
who furnbjb.es evidence of being the
father of the largest number of children
(dead or alive) in Illinois.

CROTHERS TALKS
TO UNIVERSITY MEN!
First Formal Luncheon of the Year
in the New Quarters of j
the Club.
ADDRESS IS ON SCHOLARSHIP
Dr. Samuel McCord Crothera, pas-'
tor of First Unitarian church, Cam-j
bridge, and a writer of national
prominence, pleaded the cause of'
scholarship in opposition to the dol-l
lar as a measure of succchh In Anier- j
lea at the first formal luncheon held i
in the beautiful new home of the;
Omaha University club nt noon.
Dr. Crothrrs reinforced his arguments '
with the dry humor which is noticeable
In all his writings and speeches. He I
first put his theme in the form of a
declaration that he advocated "niaklns;
the college a center of education."
Ills maasr.K.e ta collcne graduates was
that "there Is a great opportunity In the
cities to make circles In which more
disinterested Ideals are recoRntr.ed. The
college should teach us how the scholar
and the true man of science thinks and
feels and teach us in our bread wmnhu
to appreciate truth and beauty for their
own sake."
Release Men from Fear
"Education should release men from the
fear of the crowd," said Vr. Crcthers.
"The artist is rlnht who says, 'I'd rather
starve and be true to my art, than to
cater to lesser purposes."
Dr. Crother made several pointed re
marks concerning colleges in America
as they are at present. Borne of these
were as follows:
"The danger to the Amerloan collega
comes from Its own Increase in numbers
and wealth.
"If four rears In college do not give the
graduate a different idea of life than
he would have had If he had stayed away,
then the time is wasted.
"A great revolt on the part of scholars
Is corning In American colleges. ,
Shoald Have an Ideal.
"The college man should have an idea
of truth for truth's sake and beauty for
beauty's sake, which the ordinary man
does not have.
"The man who can get the most money
for the college Is elected president."
Referring to the Influence which men
of wealth have upon colleges, Dr.
Crothers remarked:
"If the old tribal Indians paid for the
education of their children In Indian
schools, they probably would demand a
professorship of scalping."
Start Paving On

Hamilton street to the city limits, will
be started Monday morning. The dis
trict is nearly three-fourf? of a mile
long and the estimated cost of the Im

ably on sewer construction work to be
