That the painstaking labor of a "cub" editorial writer should be char- acterized as "the inspiration of an overtrained mind," is an idea so dis- tinCt'y humorous that we find it'diffi- cult to write a serious 'answer to the communicant who-objects to our un- friendly attitude toward Mr. Peanut Politics. 'But whatever may be the unfit condition of our thinking 'appa- ratus, we dislike to be "buttonholed" by a sleek looking stranger who shak- es our 'and cordially, asks after the health of father and Aunt Hetty, and presents us with a card which informs us that he is a candidate "fo'te office of Class Pipe-rack, and would appreci- ate our support at the coming election. Such things leave us with a bad taste in our mouths. Why cannot all can Spus offices attain 'to the dignity of that of student councilman or Union pres- ident, which offices are given to the men who most deserve them, and with- out any petty wirepulling or ward- heeler's 'methods" on the part of the candidates? If a man informed us that he aspired to bie president of the Un- ion, solicited our votes, and asked us to work for him sub'rosa, there is no doubt but that his chances of ever being elected would lessen by at least one vote with every man he approach- ed. And yet we do not'seem to expe- rience much difficulty in picking ex- celent men for this office. It is true that capable men do work for success in politics. But an analy- sis will show that they are forced to it by the fact that such methods are being resorted to by their opponents, rather than' becalse of any liking for it. We have Always'been able to find practical, successful 'men w o have been opposed to things 'of this sort. The leaders in the Independent move- ment in Toledo are showing that mu- nicipal politics can be cleaned 'up by letting -the offce 'seek' the man; we find Adam Smith, who made some stir in the poitical world himself, getting rather excited about those who are "vulgarly called politicians;" and the said politicians 'were probably scorn- ed by Anaximenes,, and, legislated against by H-ammnurabi. But it Always takes the world several centuries to cut' itself loose from outworn tradi- tions and come to an appreciation of' the id'eas of its progressive, citizens. Here in the university we attempt, to keep a little ahead of the rest of the' world. We h~ave a better field for re- form in a matter of this sort than there is in national politics, because the uni- versity is not so large that a really g~pable tn can lose hirn f i . Surely the inert Owfathe mpus are dp- he ineligen ,,fig e Qce to be llled °w tbei ng poddd in- to the proper d~rection by'some aspir- ant who judges that with his name the lat word has been said on the sub- ject. "Why should we not make our honors doubly honorable by letting them come tas an incident to work in the univesity which ai)akes ,,:ja clean type ".b efficiicy fn Aftr-lfe, whther this work be in the class- roonv co h onnectionwit~ome such movement a# the non?!, t 'ast do not let them be hedoubtf~l triumph of week~s o. pett, id mre or less direpital le rrtiro s jf ailertisi g. We :will .' hoot te candidate who has the manliness to show by his at- titude, in. th epcming elections tat, he . standls fgr cleaner and higherdeals in poltics, and what's ore, tither things being equal, we intend t : ote ifor him., In 'conclusion we point 4o the new rulting. passed lst night' bythe Stu- dent Council in prohibition of cam- paign cards' amongthe pper classes, as evidence of,, sympathy with. ths- the- ory, and welcome it as a reform cap- able of great good. JANE ADDAM. Jane Addars, of ull House, who has been called the most noted wonan of her time. will speak in this city 'to- night. It is not 'within our province to take sides for or against any polit- ical or reform movement that may be advocated by' Miss Addas; but 'we welcome this opportunity of hearing her. Here is a woman who has done things, who is doing things-things that count for the relief of the unfor- tunate, for the betterment of soiety in general. At a time whaen women are claiming high places in world activities, and in great measure justifying''these claims, she is recognized as "a leader who leads by virtue of work done honestly,' qui- etly, persistently, successfully. When such a woman has something 'to say upon a subject so vital and so 'immi- nent as equal suffrage, that something is likely to be worth hearing. Experience is the thing that col- lege students lack.' Miss Addams has had wide experience of a most unusual and practical sort; and'she now offers to tell of that experience, 'what she has learned from it, and how it has shaped her opinions upon a question now agitating all 'civilized countries. Such a course must certainly prove instructive- "and instruction is 'the thring we see. (rad 1Reomes Honeopathie Surgeon.
