I “rm . OUR MEN.” I By W. L. BRYAN. President Indiana University. |

I wish that every citizen of InE diana could know ,ha* Indiana I ranks FORTY-THIRD among the ! forty e ght states in the amount » - which it gives for higher educaf tion in proportion to its wealth. 1* I have before me the figures in an official bulletin of the United States government. Only five states ! of the Union do LESS for higher ; education in proportion to their I wealth than Indiana does. j North. South, East, West—Dela- | ware, Alabama, Idaho, Texas — I large states, small states, rich « states, poor states —FORTY-TWO ' CF THEM ARE GIVING MORE | IN PROPORTION CF THEIR I SUBSTANCE FOR HIGHER EDUt CATION THAN INDIANA IS | GIVING! I The result is—and every citizen | of Indiana should know this, also I —that the members of the faculty s cf Indiana University and of PurI due University are taken away. I not simply by the great univers | ties of the East as they have been | for forty years, but by the states ! all around us. - Why should Illinois take IndiLiiiihhih

Daily Democrat) Alleged letters dealiag with Champion Jack Dempsey - ■ ;:i record were the goal of federal (.dicers here today. With definite aciion taken toward an investigation of tiie champion's doings during the war period, officers wanted a look at tl e letters Dempsey's former wife claims to have. Mrs. Maxine Dempsey, the divorced wife, informally charged the ehamp'.o". with resorting to various ruses to keep from actual war service. She •i S beea in seclusion since making her statements. In telegrams here Dempsey and his tanager said they welcome a full investigation. OHIO ELECTRIC DERAILED (United Press Service) Richmond. Ind..

ana's men? Why should Missouri take away Indiana's men? Why mould Washington and Idaho take t-.-iay Indiana's men? What de we think of ourselves? How de we propose that Indiana shall rank among the states of the Union? I have lived in Indiana all my life. I love Indiana as Riley did. I have said and I believe that In- : diana is our Holy Land, as near to j heaven as Jerusalem or Sinai. But 5 when I see the vast procession of = the states marching toward the | intellectual leadership of the world | and when I see where Indiana is willing to march in that procession, I burn with shame. This is no mere matter of rhetoric. They take our men. Every year they take our men. I say that there are no men too good for Indiana. I say that no □ rice which Illinois University | will pay for an Indiana man is too | much for Indiana to pay him; I say that Indiana must march | in education where it marched on | ;he field of battle—at the head of | the front line! | i

J SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS The rr-eat demand for teachers lias exhausted the Registrar's list of applicants at Indiana L'niverI sity. and a large number of reI quests for teachers are still on tile.

Various systems of shorthand were published I from that time on. all based on ‘ a b c method, and some of them be- - come quite popninr. but with the p licetion of Isaac Pitman’s “phonography,” based on sound, all the others fell into disuse. Pitman had a number of predecessors whose systems, like his own, were strictly phonetic. These j i stems never gained any footing. I while bis immediately became popular.; and has since been used by a large • majority of shorthand writers of Eng- ; lish. Man's Actions The actions of men are effects; their sentiments, their passions, and their affections are tiie causes of those effects; and we may in many cases form a judgment of the cause from tiie effect. Tiie behavior of parents toward their children gives sufficient evidence even to those who never had children that the parental affection is common to till mankind. It is easy to see from the general conduct of nun what are the natural objects of their e-'cem. their love, their approbation, the r resentment and of all their original dispositions.—Thmmis Reid.
