ARTHUR BRISBANE ON CHANCELLOR DAY.
Mr. Day, the larpe, heavy chancellor of Syracuse university, has afjain been talking about
the persecuted millionaires and shedding tears of solid standard oil over their woes.
We have seen Chancellor Day at his very best and happiest. He was at his happiest,
for he was looking at the little figure of Mr. Archbold the Standard Oil man that gives Mrv
Day the money.
Mr. Archbold, a quiet, concentrated little person, was holding out hopes of much larger
donations to Syracuse later on.
Do you suppose that any words, any painting, any sculptured marble could reproduce the
face of Chancellor Day as he listened with botk ears pricked forward?
Sometimes in the west the farmer goes off to the fair and is gone all day. It is late in
the evening, the sun has gone down and the moon has risen before he returns to pour the ears
of corn in over the side of the sty.
Before the corn begins to fall there is lifted up a pathetic face, eagerly waiting. Unless
you have seen that fat, starved face lifted "toward the farmer, above the trough below, eager,
patient, happy and grateful in the pale moonlight, you can't possibly know what Chancellor
Day of Syracuse university looks like when he sees a rich man that is apt to give some money.

When the chancellor Intimated In
his address to his graduating class last
week that Mr, Roosevelt was himself
an undesirable citizen public Interest
caught fire and editorially made It
warm for the chancellor.
What Syracuse Thinks of Day.
The question In every one's mind waa
bow sincere 1 this man' criticism T
The fact that John O. Archbold
la president of the board of trustee of
Mr. Day' university seemed to throw
an oblique light over the chancellor's
attack upon the president's attitude to
ward the trusts. I asked an "unedu
cated" citiien of Syracuse what was
the popular impression of the chancel
lor in his own town, and he replied that
being without education himself ha waa

the
chancellor was very etrlct with his stu
dents, very popular with the beet so
oiety. but that the labor vote of Syra
cuse did not tak his political theories
seriously. Still, he contended that the
university had brought a great deal of
prosperity to the city. This man waa a

better it would be If we could get a

"Some one said that Mr. Roosevelt's

Now, the mollycoddle, it seems to

the Spanish dynasty, still the soul of a
distinctly monarchlal nation, has in
fused new hopes and new life into the
(Spanish people.
There is a new Aiav ror Mpain. in
England it is customary to speak with
condescending pity of - Spain, and some
writers never cease ascribing the
"downfall' of Spain to her bigotry. The
fact Is, that each nation Is ridden by
something or other. England, for In
stance, is quite in the grips of her sollc.
itors and barristers, who make, admin

countrv.
Nobody takes offense at the fact that
here all Judges are barristers a thing
absurd in ltseir. ana never aammea oy
any other nation in Europe. In the
same way the Spanish stand many a
drawback at the hands of their "riders,"
the Catholto clergy.
To be sure, there is still a great fu
ture for the Spanish. Nobody can have
traveled in Spain for more than a month
without having been struck with the
physical and Jnental strength, grace and
dignity of her people. As her women
unite the classical feature in repose so
characteristic of Englishwomen with
the charm of movement of the women
of Franc, ao her men have th dlc-nltv

And now that th chief "Dower In iha

royal uncle, has Joined Spain by one of
those delloate touches which Nestor
would admire and Ulysses envy, there
has been made for Spain that interna

It is good that family member pre

there are always peace-disturbers. It
is good to know that there Is a new
horn smile coming from the union of
British and Spanish hearts as It were
from a marriage of Gibraltar with
A 1 gee Iras.
That dear little smile will do more
than many a conference. It will teach
the Spanish that their natural, If not
yet legal, allies are Great Britain and
France.
Lastly, not least, that Infant is the
touching evidence of the Inanity of evil-
doing In that the wretche who planned
