While the time for making the increase may have been inopportune, it is nevertheless true that President Suzzalo is about the lowest paid man on the state payroll, judged by his worth to the state. The cost records seem to show that he is operating the university for about half a million dollars less than the average for schools of that size. It seems to the Herald that in hard times the state saves money by hiring an $18,000 man, if he is worth that much, more than in good times. Several other colleges would be very glad to pay president Suzzalo at least $25,000 if they could get him. It would be no economy to replace the university head with a $5000 man who would increase the bill for operating the school a quarter of a million or so. It is well to remember, even in state affairs, that some men are cheap at $25,000 and other men dear at $1000.

WORLD WAR NOT DUE
Undoubtedly there are enough unsolved international difficulties in the world to satisfy the most quarrelsome appetite, but to conclude from this state of affairs that a world war is probable is sheer unreason. Ruhr by every test is not a war, is rather the action of a sheriff who is attempting to levy upon the resources of an impoverished and reluctant debtor. There is no possibility of Germany's raising an army competent to fight the French, and no other nation is going to take Germany's part. Every responsible government has made this plain enough. - New York Globe.
