The Power Of T radition The average b6v of 10 or 12 years of age has a language which has been transmit ted to him from the remotest generations through |he agen- * ,* cy of boys of the same age. While ihe bul|c of the words lie uses are to tie found in 4110 dictionaries, and are employed in the conversation of older persou$, he has also many words which are j*er.ular to his age, which in being so often represent thb oldest | words in use... All these words are not Arse, but many of them are and when their origin is investigated it is found that their antiquity is generally measured by their coarseness. In an age of books and newspapers we lost sight of the effects of tradition to such an extent that we do not reckon on it at all, if indeed we do not conclude deliberately that it has ceased to operate as one of the causes which govern society. In the first development of civilization everything depended on such tradition as that through which the vernacular of “the little diriy bov ’ is handed down from £ne little diity boy to another through century after century, but whether we reckon on 7 it or not, tradition is still one of the mpst potent forces of the social order often stronger than law or the press .or that-, all other forces whicli work for chance.

It is through tradition in spite of law, letters and all the progressive impulses of modern times that our colleges and universities which ought to be in the very van of progress are the strongholds of niediaevalism, perpetuating some of the worst abuses of the ‘-dark age.” When at the University of Illinois a body of young men who wish to give a supper are obliged to have police protection to prevent a mob of ruffians connected with the university as students from driving them from the hal!, it is because of a tradition which has come down to them from the time when students at universities were ♦‘clerks” and as such exempt from the jurisdiction of the ci\il courts. ThJ origin of the roughness of which the University of Illinois and many other"colleges in the United Slates are the headquarters dates back to the dine when the University of Paris attracted herds of beggar students troiu all quarters of the world and when these young men used their “privilege of clergy,” of exemption froqi the prowess ot the civil courts, to make themselves a terror to all quiet and decent people. They were uot only roisterers, bravos and ruffians, but ^ti the' belief that they were higher than the law some of them turned burglars and supported themselves by robbery. Villon,

whose poems have recently become once more the fashion in France, was a member of such a gang of student burglars. When finally the University of Paris was brought under the King’s authority and made to submit fit least in theory to his provost, it was almost as .much of an achievement as if a kingdom had been conquered. From that day until this, however, the power of tradition in colleges and universities has often offset the effects of all the forces of progress and through this traditiou our American colleges and often five centuries behind the most lawless regions of the country in the law-abiding spirit. Backed by the tradition which has pome down to them from the Middle Ages as foul words are handed down from the mouth of one “vagrom boy” to another from century to century, the young men who throw off civilization and become barbarians on entering college den? that laws were made for them and assert their right to do as they please no matter what pulrages they commit in doing it.' If we are to rid ourselves of the spirit of lawlessness in America we must attack it in the colleges, for it gets a start there which is not easily overcome. Mr. C, F Davis, editor of the Bloomfield, Iowa, Farmer, says: “loan recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to ail sufferers with colds and croup.

New Albany Tribune: D. J. Mackey, the once millionaire capitalist of Evansville, is said to be bankrupt. Other* think he lias lost nearly all, yet he has transferred much of his realty to avoid numerous judgments that are being rendered againsc him. Considerable of his Evansville property is advertised at sheriff’s sale. The property in question has l»een found to have been mortgaged for $250r000, and part of it has been sold to H. W. Cook, before the sheriff gave notiee of sale. Nearly every piece of property owned by Mackey in Henderson county, has been sold to Cook for $1. Though sheriff’s sales of property of Mackey afe advertised in various parts of Indiana and Kentucky, ii is said lie U “execution proof” and it cannot be found that Mackey has a dollar left.__ Did you ever notice how catching a laugh is? Two persons may laugh heartily in a crowd of a hundred, and if not a soul knows what they are laughing at, unless some persons imagine they are laughing at them every one w»ll join with greater or less degree of mirth. Disease doesn’t compare with the contagion of laughter.__ This is a splendid time to talk up the question of “Better Beads.” You have “Bad Roads” and in a few days th£ bottom will fall out and mudboats will become a necessity.
