Much of the effort to accomplish the first function, that of developing men capable of productive scholarship, as distinguished from merely imitative, ftnnotative or dagogie seholarhfp, must come through the graduate school. The law school and medical school do ailmiralde w.irk in fitting men for spe cial profession, but they in no shape or way supply any shortcomings m the graduate school any more than doe the college proper, the college of the undergraduates. The ideal for the graduate M-limd and for those under graduate who are to go into it must t e the ideal of high scholarly pro.no - tioti. which in 1 be dist ingtsishe I in the mere transmittal i reaoymuoe """"""."a.t t,f Teaming bv doing useful r mthoiit adding ! it. If America .'' . .. r. - ..... to cinttit.ute its lull suaro a ine pn. t:rs not alone- of knowledge, but tt wisdom, then we must put ever iocreis iug emphasis on university work done along tta lines of the graduate ncfcool. We ran U"t help the growth of Amer ican scholarship by seeing that a a career it i put more on a level, with the other careers open to our yung men. Demand for Eight Sort. The general opinion of the com mumtr. is lind to have a very great feet rvrn tipin if inopt vigorous and, indc-n4lent minds. If in the j.nb jie mind the career of the scholar, i regarded as of iiisiynficant valun when compared will that of a glorified pawn broker, then it wilt with difficulty te made attractive -to the most vigorous and gifvd ef otir American yotiDg men. tJoo.l teachcr. eicriietit institutions and liliraries are all demanded In a graduate school worthy of the name. Hut there is an even more urgent de mand for the right sort of student. No first class neience, n first flass literature" nr art, ran ever be l-uilt uj with seond class men. The hob arly career, the eareer of the man ef letters, the man 1 of arts, the man of science, must be made sneh as ti at tract f,ioe atrong and vir'le y.mths who feel that they ran only turn to business, law or polities. There is no one thing wlfieh will 1 ring about! this desired ehapge. but there is one thing which will materially li'elp.in bringing it about, and that is to secure to schol ars the ehanee of getting one ef a few brilliant position as prizes if they rise to" the first rank in their chosen career. Kvery such .brilliant position should have as an accompaniment an added salary, which shall help indi cate how high the position really i: and it must be the efforts of the alnmni which can aloie senre such talariet for ftoeb positions. j Better Pay for Teachers. As m jeopl I think we are .waking up to the fact that there mnst te bet ter pay for the average man and aver age woman engaged in the work of education ' Hct. I "am not speaking of this now J I am not speaking of the de sirability, great though that is, of giv ing better payment to the average edu cator, I 3H4 speaking of the desirability of giving to the exceptional man the chance of winning an' exceptional prize, just as he has the chance to do in lavs ami business. In business at the present May nothing could be more healthy than an immense reduction in th money value of the exceptional prizes inuH; to ; dc won; out in scholarship what is needed is the reverse. "In this country we rightly go ufxn the theory that' it is more important to care for the welfare of the average man than to put "ai premium upon tne exertions of the eeepl ional. lint w must not forget that the extablishment of such a .re mi nut for the exceptional, though of leaa, importance, is nevertheless of very great importance. It is important even t the development of thn average man, for" the average of all of us is raided by the work of the great mas ters. Advocates Prlae. It is, I trust, unnecessary to say that I appreciate to the full the fact that the highest work of all will never be affected one way or the other by any quest ion Uif co'mpensation. And much of the work which is really best for the natiiln must from the very nature or things he non-rerminerati ve as com- pa red-with the work f the ordinarv industries and vo-ations. Nor would it vere be jxwsible or -lesirable that the" rewards of transcendent success in sc!io!arsiiri should even approximate, from a monetary standpoint, the re wards iri other vocations. Hat it is also true that the effect upon ambi tious minus can not out he bad if as a people, wo show our very slight re gard for scholarly achievement by making 90 provision at all for its re ward. The chief u-ie of the increased money vuliie or t lie scnolar's prize wiiihl he the index' thereby afforded of the respect in which it was jxpu larly'hel.). The American scientist, the American scholar, should have the chance jrt past of winning sucG pri7.es as are open to his siiccessful brother in fJermanv, Kngland or I'rance, where the rewards paid for first class schol arly achievement are as much above those pa ill in this country as our re wards for first class achievements in industry or law are above those-paid abroad. Spirit Counts. Hut of course what counts infinitelv more than any jossihle outside reward is the spirit of the worker himself. The prime -need is to instill into the minds of the scholars themselves a true appreciation f real as distin guished from sham' success. In pro ductive scholarship, in the scholarship which adds by its work to the stfm of substantial achievement with whieh the. country is to be credited, it is only first class work that counts. In this field the smallest amount of really first da work- is worth all the second class work that can possibly be produced; and to have done such work is in itself the fullest and amplest reward to thi man producing it. We outsiders should according to our abil'tv aid him in every way to produce it. Yet all that we can do, is but little compared to what he himself can anil must. do. The spirit of l he scholar is the vital factor in the produtcive scholarship of the country. r It Is Advantageous.' Kti much for the first function of the universit;, the sending forth of a small number 'jf scholars of the highest rank who 'will! do productive work of the first class. N'ow turn to the second, and what may be called the normal, function of the college, the function of turning out each year many hun dreds of men who shall possess the trained intelligence, and especially the character that will enable them to i..ijJhold h ii; 6 the renown hiiin the of this ancient vice for the nation. It is not my pur pose to discus at length what should l done i in Harvard to produce tne right spirit among the men who go ont of If.-irvsXrd. bnt rather to speak of what thisi spirit sloMild.be. Nor skill 1 sjeak of the exceptions, the men to whom college life is a disadvantage. Handolph. of Koanoke, h- of tne loiing tongue, tmef remarked of an opjtoneat that he reminded him of certain tracts of land "which were nlmot worthless bv nature, and became entirely so by cultivation." Of course, if in any in dividual university training produces a tsste for refined idleness, a ditate fr sustained effort, a bs rrcn f ntelleetiial arrogance, or a sense of sujwrcilioas aiooines from the world f real men who do the world real work, then it has harmed that individual; but . In such esse there remains the abiding comfort that lie wonld not have amount ed to ranch aoywai. Neither a col lege training nor anything rle much goo.1 to the man of weak Cter or to the man with a twist In his mor al or Intellectual make up. Hat tie average undergraduate has c 11 00 gh ro bustness of natore, enough capacity for enthusiasm nd aspiration, to make it worth while to turn to account tke stttff that i in him. Deprecates Modern luxjirle. j There are, however, two points In the undergraduate life of Hrvard abont which I think we have to feel some little! concern. One is th growth of luxury in the university. 1 do not know whether anything we sav will have much effect 4n this point, but jwt m -:'MMh. r?' Lave weight I hope to kee that weight felt in serious and sustained effort against the growing tendency to lux- ury. and m iavor 01 - democratic conditions. One of our auia ber, the one whom I think the Test of -us. most delight to honor Colonel Hi g ginaon has gives to our alma mater the Harvard Union, than which bo let ter gift, no gift meeting a more vital need, could have been given to the university. It is neither possible nor desirable to try to take away all so cial uirxerences from the student life; 1.-.. . ' wui u a gooa icing to snow now nn important these uiif ert-nces are com pared to the tlinerences of real achieve ment, nd compared also to the bonds wnielt' should unite together all the men who are in any degree capable of such real achievement; bonds, morer over, wbiea should also knit these cap able men to their brethren who need their help. The second point upon which I. wish to speak is the matter of , sport. Now 1 snail not re sus(eetel of a tendency unduly to minimize the importance of sport. ; I believe heartily in sport. I believe in outdoor games, and I do not mind in the leant that tfaey are rough games, or that those who" take part in them are occasionally injured. 1 have no sympathy whatever with the overwrought sentimentality which would, keep a young man in cotton wool, and I have a hearty contempt for him if he counts a broken arm or collar hone as of serious consequence, When balanced against the chance of showing that he jissesses hardihood, physical address and courage. I.ut when t hese in juries .are inflicted by others, eijther wantonly or of set de sign, we are confronted by the ques tion, not of damage to one man's Imdy, but -of damage to the other man's char acter, r Brutality in playing a game should awaken the heartiest and most plainly shown contempt for the player guilty of it; especially if this brutality is coupled with a low cunning in com mitting it without getting caught by the umpire. I hope to see both gradu ate and undergraduate opinion come to scorn such a man as one guilty or base and dishonorable action, who has no place in the regard o- gallant and up right men. : Admires Professionals. It is a bad tu.ng for any college man to grow to regard sjKrt as the serious business of .e. it is a bad thing to fermit sensationalism and hysteri-i to diape the development of our sports. And finally it is a much worse thing to permit college sport to become in any shape or way. tainted by profes sionalism, or by So much as the slight est suspecion of money-making; and this is especially true if the profes sionalism is furtive, if the boy or man violates the spirit of the rule while striving to keep within the letter. lro fessional sport is all right in its way. I am glad to say that among my friend I nnmlier professional (fixers and wrestlers, oarsmen and baseball men, whose regard 1 value, and whom in turn I regard as thoroughly good citi zen. . Hut the college undergraduate who, in furtive fashion, lecoines a semi-professional is nn unmitigated curse, and that not alone to university life and to the cause rf amateur sport; for the college graduate ought in after years to take the lead in putting tlf .business . morality of this country on a proper plane, and loi c:.n not do it if .in bis own college carer his code of conduct has beeir warped and twisted. Moreover, the spirit which put. so ex cessive a value upon his work as to produce this semi-professional is itself unhealthy. I wish to see Harvard win a reasonable proportion of the contests in whien it enters, ami J snouM oe heartily ashamed of every Harvard athlete who did not sjend every ounce there was in him in the effort to win, provided only he does it in honorable and manly fashion. Hut I think our effort should be to niinijnize rather than to increase that kinil of glove, of athletics which manifests itself, not in joining in the athletic sjjiorts, but in crowding by tens of thousands to see other people indulge in them. It i a far better thing for our colleges to have the average student interested in some form of athletics than to have them all pither in a mass tof see other people do their athletics for them. Pull His Own Weight. So much for the undergraduates. Now for -the alumni, the men who ae at work out in the great world. - Of Course the man's first duty is. to him self and to those immediately depend ent upon hinu I'nless) he can pull his own weight he must be content to re main a passenger" all his life. Hut we have a right to expect that the men who come nt of Harvard will do some, thing more than merely pull tlieir own weight. We have a right to expect that they wi'I count as -ositive forces for the betterment of their fellow countrymen; and they can thus count only if they combine the power of de votion to 'a l.iffv ideal with practical common sense in striving to renlir.e this ideal. This "Vial ion never stno. in greater need than now of having among it leaders men of lofty ideal, which thVy try t live up to and not merely In talk f. We need men with these ideals in Msblic life, and we need them just as much 10 business and in tirh a ro- fession as the law. We can by statute establish only those exceedingly rough line f morality, the overpassing ot which riie.ns that tae man is in jeop- ardr of the eonstatoe or the sheriff.

Jury V Tanner, and Robertson Are De clared to Be Unreliable Witnesses letter Is Stigmatized as a Viper. PORTLAND. Jnne ,29. Judge Ben nett's argument in bthalf f .Senator Mitchell consumed ail f today 'a .ses sion of the count. Bennett contended that the theory the lirm of Mitchell & Tanner worked on was that Tanner had the right to prosecute land matters In any ot the offices of the land depart ment, and that the pay received there from was divided between the partnera. Bennett alleged that the testimony of Tanner was untrustworthy because it was given under pressure applied by l nite-1 ."States Jiistrict Attornev lb ney.. Bennett contended that the tes timony of Mitchell's private secretary, KuLM-rtson, was false, and that undue importance had been given the let ters passing Iwtweenthe two nartners. which had leen introduced by the proa edition. Judge Bennett was so affected dur ing nis argument that at numerons times tears sprang to hi eyes, and so feeling were his remarks at times that there was hardly a .dry eye in the court room. During his address to the jury at the morning session of the coart Bennett made a personal attack upon Heney, turning his back upon the jury and facing the prosecuting attorney for the nonve. ' He had not proceeded far on this lino when the court rapjed for order and told him he uiight refer to anybody in the ease, but that he must not turn his back upon the jury. He pointed out to the jury that the honor and liberty of an old man was at stake, a man who had T'en an honor and a erertit to the state of "Oregon through two. decades and more, during which he bad given of his talent, strength and time freely, generously and unstintingly. He said that the real meat of the nnt was that Mitchell had taken money from Kribs; that the Ben son cherge.aa the changing of the firm's books were not the matters at issue. Ha asserted that when Tanner tvstified to having received the money from Kribs that the prosecution's case was at an end, anil that it had pro longed the case by dragging in irrele vant testimony. He said the contract entered into in 1101 .referred to an agreement of Hl7, when the senator was a private citizen. - When upon his election to the United States senate it became necessary to change the agree-. affects themselves, then the community is apt to assume the dangerous anil un wholesome attitude of condoning crimes of violence committed against the in terests which in the popular mind these rich men represent. This last attitude is wholly evil; tint so is the-attitude which produces it. We have a right to apjeal to the alnmni of Harvard, and lo the alnmni of every institution of learning in this land, to do their part in creating a public Sentiment which shall demand of all men of means, and especially of the men ,of vast fortune, that they -set an example to their less. fortunate brethren, .y paying scrnpu lous heed not only to the letter but to the -spirit of the laws, and by aekonwl-" edging in the heartiest fashion the mor al obligations which can not be ex pressed in law, but which stand back of and above all laws. It i far more important that they should Conduct their business affairs decently than that ! they should sjend the surpbrs of their fortunes in tdiilant hronv. Much has leen given to these men and we have a right to demand much of them 'in re turn. , ' Menace to the Community. Every man of great wealth who run his business with cynical cpntempt for those prohibitions of the law which by hired ennning he e.an escape or crude, is a menace to or eommnnity! and tbe community .is not to b ex cused if it does not develop a spirit which actively frowns on and dicoun tonanee him.

Now, the fci-eat lawyer who employs his ' talent and his learning in the highly remuner ative task of enabling a very wealthy client to override or circumvent the law i doing , all that in hint lies to encourage the growth in this country of a spirit of dumb anger against all laws and of disbelief in their efficacy.

This change was made hur riedly and . while Mitchell was away Little attention was given to the word ing save that the division of profits nould be equal. Tanner believed he had a right to do business before the land office and so took in the money ana pat it in the firm's profits. He said. Tanner regarded faes , fees as legitimate and as pay for his own ser vices. ." : .-'- v'. Jadgw Bennett's reference to the fa mous Pickwick case created- a ripple of laughter in the court room, at which even the court was compelled to smile. The counsel said that Tanner testified to those things only that pleased Heney, who held Tanner in his hand, and on whose sav-so depended Tanner's liberty. He pointed out that it was Tanner who suggested the change in the contract, and it was npon his own volition that he perjured him self, ne said that he did not believe that Tanner, once having falsified him telf, could ever tell the truth again. Tanner was given his liberty, and he mnst tell what is satisfactory to He ney in Order to ga-free, he charged. Following this attack irpon Tanner and Heney, Judgw Bennett then paid his respects to Uobertson, whom he likened to a viper, and m ' the most scathing terms rebuked , him for his ingratitude. SETS NO LIMITS GERMANY TRANSMITS ITS REPLY TO FRENCH NOTE ON MO- ; ROCCO QUESTION. Says That It Will Not Prescribe Lim its of Proposed Conference for Set tling Question Note Couched In - Friendly Terms But Is Emphatic PARIS, June 2". Germany's reply to the. 'French note on the subject of Morocco was presented during the con fereneo between Prince - Radolin, the German ambassador, and Premier Rou vier at the foreign office today. While it was most friendly in form and en tirely lacking 10 peremptory tone, Ger many's response none the less main tains its jfosition on the Moroccan question must be regulated by the con ference of the powers without any agreement in advance in limiting the scope of suchi conference. This was ac companied by a presentation of Ger many's general point of view in such an amicable spirit as to disarm any suspicion entertained concerning Ger many s nlterinr motives. It is thought that Premier Rouvier will be prepared to terminate the con troversy either by accepting the con ference: or submitting connter propo sals. However,' he informed Radolin hat no, decision would be taken until he German-, note. 'had been submitted to the council ot ministers at the next regular meeting Friday. This is the last day for June brides. tUit Friday is not a popular day for it. for what is right,. This is a rough, workaday, practical world, and if in it we are to do' the work liest worth doing, we must approach that work in a spirit remote from that of the mere visrbnaty, and above all remote from that of the visionary whose aspirations after gd find expression only in the shape of scolding and complaining. It shall not help us if we avoid the Scylla of baseness of motive, only to be wrecked on the Cbarybdis of wrong headedness, of feebleness and ineHi cieney. There can be nothing worse for the community than to have the men who profess lofty ideals show themselves so foolish, so narrow, so impracticable, as to cut themselves off from communion with the men who are actually able to do the, work of gov erning, the work of business, the work of the nroiessions. It is a sad and evil thing if the men Willi a moral sense group themselves as impractical r.ea- lot, while the men of action gradually grow to discard and laugh at all moral sense as an evidence of impractical weakness. Maeaulay, whose eminently sane and wholesome spirit revolted not only at weakness, but. atvthe censorious follv which masquerade as virtue, le scriles the condition of Hcoljand at the end of the seventeenth cenlnry in a passage which every sincere reformer sbovld keep cor. staidly lefore him.
