We reprint the following editorial from the Boston Advertiser of yesterday, because, aside from its tribute to the worth of a recent graduate, it coincides so exactly with our views of the position in politics which collegebred men ought to take.

"A year ago, when Alderman William E. Russell was nominated by the citizens of Cambridge for the office of mayor, and chosen by a strong majority over Mayor Fox, we took the ground that his selection, like that of Mayor Low in Brooklyn, was none the less wise because of his youth. He was only 27 years of age when elected, yet his administration has been so judicious and honest that his renomination on Saturday by the unanimous vote of the citizens' convention was looked for as a foregone conclusion. The disposition of young men of thorough collegiate and professional training to enter politics for honorable service is one of the hopeful signs of the times. Age may be needed to give experience and caution, but young men furnish an enthusiasm and faith in reform which most of their elders fail to possess."
