THE president of Harvard college
thinks college sports have reached a
point demanding careful considera-
ton. The advantage of athletic sports
of students is admitted, but there has
grown up a reaction against the
former neglect of such recreations
which has produced a positive craze
in the other direction, tending to
make our colleges mere adjuncts to
the sporting world, until it has come
to appear that sport IS their object
end study simply incidental thereto
Not only is this the case, but the com
petition of college clubs with each
other and with professional organiza
tions has degenerated into a mer
money-making show business, ant
the only wonder is that college ath
letes have not before this been repre-
scented in the prize-ring.

Certain members of the Salvation
Army in Bridgeport, Conn, charged
with violating an ordinance relating
to street parades, were convicted and
fined a trifling amount, but they re-
fused to pay it and were sent to jail,
Those who are familiar with the spirit
and temper of this peculiar organiza-
ton will not doubt that the captlves
will glory in their imprisonment as
sort Of martyrdom, or that they are
quite capable of comparing their sui,
terings, for conscience sake, with those
of him they flatter themselves they
are initiating.

follows with 996 1856, 900, and we come

people is, however, small as compared
with that of several countries. In
Germany the consumption per head is
1874 40 quarts year, OF, as there are
four or five glasses in o quart, about
two glasses a day for every man,
woman and child in the country. The
rate for Belgium, however, is even
higher, the consumption there being
1925 quarts per head. England is
third, with a rate of 125.10, and then
there is a drop to $3.50, the rate in
Denmark. Our average consumption

THE Wichita Herald very truth
fully says, the worst feature of fence
cutting is not found inNthe destruc-
ton of property, but in the democrat
izing influence it exerts over law
abiding citizens; that if zone class OF
people are allowed to violate the law
with IMMUNITY, no matter what the
law violated is, there will be infused
into the minds of the very best citi-
zens a desire to infringe even the
most agreeable law"

THE Nolan County Record says
Gov. Ireland "has been listening to
the cunning voice of the monopolists,
and legislators, if they value the
wishes of their constituency, will pay
no attention to the suggestion"
Reference is made to his proposition
in favor of a herd law, in which he
says:
81 recommend law giving land
owner lien on stock that may tres
pass on lands, with the knowledge OF
consent of the owner and against the
will of the land owner, for all dam
ages done by said stock, and value OF
grass and property destroyed by
them"
The Record declares that to be gov
erned by such proposition, the legis
lature would utterly ruin western
Texas. 1t is claimed that none coulC
survive under the operation of such
law except the great cattle owners.
