Dr. Edward C. Elliott, president of Purdue university, who is drawing a salary of $12,750 a year from the taxpayers of Indiana, recently has taken the oi>portunity to run away from his work and make speeches in which ho has advocated that fact that in such a crisis as the present, ‘the nation must be governed by
the aristocracy."
In direct contrast to this was the opinion of Abraham Lim-oln, who once said, “You ian always t-u-t the average common sense of the common people.” \Ve believe Lincoln had the
