years which are to come should stamp
out the disintegrating and disrupting
spirit which tho populists and kindred
organizations fomented. Prosperity
will rout the ranters, and the people
will learn the difference between
principle and balderdash. On more
than one occasion in the last few years,
mainly through accident we believe, the
authorities of the state university have
been made to appear as countenancing
or upholding the ideas of the commun
ists, in truth a modified form of anarchy;
and the new chancellor will do well to
see that the university is kept well away
from all such doctrine. The colleges and
schools of the country are looked to
to promote the spirit of loyalty to
American institutions and government,
broad patriotism and good citizenship,
not to add to the demoralizing and
disloyal tendency of the day advanced
alike by out 6poken anarchists and
more politic panderers of the Herron
stripe.

Human life is sacred. It should not be

first made laws it was provided that the
wrongs between man and man should bo
adjusted and punishment inflicted by
the body of men, or government, and not
by the individual. Any other condition
would bo incompatible with the order
which communities must observe. There
is, in the quickened life of the west, an
impulse to transcend the limitations of
the statute book, and go back to the
custom which is essentially barbaric,
