(, 1925, WeBtsrn Newspaper Union.) A man called on us this week and! remarked that lie was considerable of a philosopher, that he was a good' i spender when flush and offered a smile when broke. Thats fine, but we figure that he would be a better phil osopher if he would invest his capital and spend the interest only with his smiles. LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR CLASH Removal of PortCommiss'oners Prompts Action to Curtail Appointive Power. Ty Cobb Will Take Rest THE UNCERTAIN MAIL By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. T'VE seen a good deal in the news- papers from time to time with ref erence to the certainty that if you drop a letter into the mall box at the corner of your street, It will be de livered to the proper person, but I don't believe it. I feel somewhat as Mark Twain said he did regarding the notice of his death which he read in a country newspaper; I think the reports have been greatly exaggerated. I've reaO something to the effect that not m..re than ofle letter out of a million ulti rnately goes astray, and that that one has a good chance of being run tp cover by some epistolary sleuth' in the dead letter office; but I've watched the thing, and I'll have to be shown. I had a few hours of unexpected leisure one day last summer, and (Ml Ing more than ordinarily kindly to ward the human race 1 used it to write to a few of the undergraduates who, It seemed to me, had done some thing that merited attention or w a worthy of praise. When I had Unlsheil there were Jo or 20 in all. The sum mer dragged on, and I was made hap Py by receiving two acknowledgment one from McXlnley, a shy little cotm try freshman, and a gracious ploasan one from Rullard whom most people at Hrst sight might have though' crude. I could scarcely have expected cither to reply. Now the thing that convinces m that all this talk about the roliabilit of the mails is wrong Is the fact tha I did not hear, from those other It letters. Take Burton, for example, who woi the western tennis championship. I n sure that if he had received my con gratulations,' he would at least bavi acknowledged the note. He comet from a part of the country when they are fed on courtesy and good form three times a day, and he has an aunt who belongs to th Daugh ters of the American Revolution. A man with a past like that behind him couldn't neglect to acknowledge u simple little note. There was Stephens, who Is reslly a nice boy and who won the Ugh average in engineering and was given 93 In rhetoric 1 by an instructor who came from Iljirvard ;. and Carlton who - Ty Cobb, manager of the Detrntt baseball team, does not intend to play much this sejison, in iact not more than 100 games. Last season he played in 105 games. MICKIE SAYS WUMST THEN VJUX b 1AMJ WUO VJUL RUIUED TOO MUCH kCNERrnSIUG1. IT DROVE UUA srro BNUKROPTCVI TUE. M5VEBTIS.UG VJUT DOME BV THE MMtIS COMPETITOR. !

The governor has not pre pared any of these bills himself and no one else appears enthusiastic enough over such subjects to take the time to draft them and lobby them through.
