GREAT GROWTH OF HUGHES NATIONAL COLLEGE LEAGUE

Thirty thousand college alumni have enrolled so far in the Hughes National College League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York. The oldest living graduate of Brown University, which graduated Governor Hughes, enrolled this week. He is the Rev. John Hunt of Springfield, Ohio, ninety-three years old. Brown, 1842. The league challenged the Woodrow Wilson College Men’s League this week to join it in "having any reputable audit company in this city check up Immediately from the original cards your actual enrollments of Princeton alumni and ours, your total enrollments and ours, and your enrollments from any college you may select and ours.” The college men In the National Guard along the Mexican border are joining in droves, according to the officers of the league, and many have written in to signify their discontent with the Administration’s handling of the Mexican situation. William R.” Moody, son of Dwight Lyman Moody, the famous evangelist, wrote to the league offering his assistance in East Northfield, Mass., and said: “I am among those who feel very strongly that it would be a National disaster to have the present Administration continued another season, feeling deeply the humiliation to which our country has been subjected in the sight of the world, by the lack of any foreign policy, and by the.vacillation of its dealings.”

The Administration ought to be able to take a comfortable rest. It has turned pretty much everything over to commissions from the Mexican question to the tariff. The telent for shirking responsibilities comes handy sometimes.
