WHY THE DEFEAT

The defeat of Yale 10y Harvard. in the
recent annual test of muscle and wind
upon the water, iuvigoratcs the impress
sion that the greater prevalence of the
tobacco habit may have something TO do
with il. For some time past DIR.
SEAVER. the Yale professor of athlCt-
les and physician. has been protesting
that both the physical and mental vigor
of the Yale men was being Slapped by
this indulgence. IL Is said that the
cigarette. the most perniCious form Of
the vice, has been specially prevalent
there. The monitions of this scientist
are based upon researches and a mass of
data in that institution extending nearly
over decade. lie has reduced them to
tabular form, and publishes some of
them. As the promoter and instructor
in the most attractive. If not
really the chief feature in mod
ern collegiate life. he dwells mainly
upon the effects of tobacco upon
the development of athletic prowess. by
his computations the smokers are in
ferior in lung power to the abstalncrs;
they can not equal the latter i'm ability
TO initiate the chest, and in muscular and
nervous power there Is a marked infe-
riority. II would follow, then, that the
rowing teams that did not use tobacco
would have an advantage. Entire alb
stincnce from this practice will proba-
bly, be made one of the Indispensable
conditions of membership IN the ath-
letic teams hereafter. The leading ath-
letes have for long time discarded
smoking. This authority also shows by
the figures that the non. smokers aver
age better in height and weight than
the others. Then he insists that the
effect upon scholarship Is hardly less
pronounced. IL is very rare that any
smoker receives any Of the honors. The
influence upon the brain is very del
etcriOus. Even with this shown by the
evidence adduCGd. il is almost surprising
10 learn that a considerable effect is
being had upon the Yale mind. In the
large class that graduated last week
seventy per cent are ranked as abstain
ers. There is little that is new except
the comparative statistics OF the Yale
professor. Such lessons have been fire.
qucui. But there need be small appre-
heusiou 10y those i'm the trade that their
traffic will be lesscncd 10y any OF these
lights who would cut off this indulgence.
Here and there may be one who is will
ing TO sacrifice luxury to promote
vigor and proloug life, but they are not
likely TO bc numerous enough TO make
any show. The average young man
who has become addicted TO the use of
tobacco finds a philosophy in the smoke
of the burning weed that satisfies him.

FIGURES THAT LIE.

Possibly If would be an extreme sup
position that Supt. PORTER sent out
that bulletin the other day purporting
10 give the expenditures OF 100 principal
cities of the United States in order TO
misreprescnt the Twin Cities. But if he
had remembered that in those quarters
his official work was greatly disparaged,
and some off the more conservative
found his apology in the belief that Nat
ure had successfully designed him for
an ass and incompetent, ne could have
pcrpetrated no greater mlsreprcseuta-
ton than he has. This is a new feature
in the census business. and Mr.. PORTER
seems TO have given It his special per
sonal attention. and cNultinglv says
that, upon the publication of all the
cities and towns. this report will toe the
most comprehensive and complete cNhib-
il of local finances ever published bv any
government. and will furnish the stu
dent of political economy with material
which will throw new light upon inn
portant questions affecting local govern
ment of cities in the United States
These leo cities are classified according
TO population and expenditures, and st.
Paul is made TO show the greatest eX-
penditurc per head of any city in the
United States that comes in the first
leo, and Minneapolis is not very far
away. Chicago is put ut about S11 per
capita, New York S93. and ST. Paul
s21Gl. The Omaha World-IIerald re-
produces the following from the bull

regions, he can claim that his scheme Is
success and has possibilities OF vast
importance. One of the last acts of the
late congress was to appropriate $1,000
for experiments in the production of
rainfall" 1t is probable that the re-
cent experiments on the Potomac we're
rather TO test the appliances than to
cause rainfall. The balloons sent up
did not contain dynamite, but a
combination of oxygen and hydrogen
gas, two-tbirds of the latter. At an ele-
walton of 800 or 1000 feet an electric
spark was sent up small wire, causing
the desired explosion. The theory is
that the conclusion disturbs the atmos-
pheric conditions so as to lower the
point of humidity and induce rain. The
machinery operated according to the
programme. and was success at least
that far If the precipitation ensues as
hoped, there may be regions where rain
may be induced in times of special need;
but If water can be frightened out of
an atmosphere that has no moisture,
some of the theories will need good
deal Of revision. The men most versed
in atmospheric lore are generally in
credulous as to paying results from
such attempts.

Fourteen cities with population i'm
excess of 100000 are given an average
expenditure of Sl5.9S per head, and
twelve in the class OF the twins are
allowed an annual expenditure of only
STA per person. The Omaha paper
states the fact very mildly when 1t says;
The disparity is too great to he true
II is evident. for instance, that il cannot
he possible that city government in St
Paul costs six times rs much as i'm Den
yer. The figures FOR ST. Paul must in
Clude the cost of public improvements,
while those for Denver include only
operating expenses
All intelligent people who compare
the figures are struck at once with their
abSurdity. They are utterly worthless
FOR any information they contain. but
are rs misleading and unjust rs If com
piled for malignant purpose. In
some cities named, il is evident every
class Of outlay is included, while in
others simply the cost of one branch of
the municipal machine is had Schools,
improvements. interest on debt and cx-
U9oIdiuary expenses make up the total
in certain cities. while in others only
the ordinary administrative expendi-
lures are included. Mr.. PORTER
should have the credit or rare expert
ness in manipulating figures TO put st.
Paul in the lead. II would be easy TO
show that, while the assessments are not
higher than the average of cities. the
rate of taxation in ST. Paul is much
lower than in many cities of its class

more becoming dignity than the man
we have mentioned. He stands out
against the mighty background of his
church like the heroic figure of some
medieval saint. His individuality
and strength of character show
boldly even among the dignita-
ries OF church noted for those
characteristics. Yet he is as gentle and
lovable as girl, witnal. AS the stately
archbishop, splendid in his appearance
and powerful in his influence, he has
not changed whit from the simple
priest who accompanied the Minnesota
legion into the greatest struggle of the
century, camping with the boys in blue,
sharing their privatiOns, cheering their
dying spirits and stirring them to a
nobler patriotism.
He has ever been staunch advocate
OF true temperance and of popular edu-
cation in its best sense. Full of the
courage of his convictions, he has not
faltered, even when the cause he es-
poused has met with opposition in the
ranks of MS own faith. But no ono
loves him the less for that. His eeva-
ton to the proposed honor would be
credit to his church and his country.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN.

The death of HANNIBAL HAMLIN, re-
ported this morning, removes one of the
oldest landmarks of the political world.
His birth dates back to 1909. He was
one of the most conspicuous of the
founders of the Republican party, and
elected vice president with LINCOLN IN
1860. lie was not r5nominated in 1864,
and since then has not been prominent
in affairs. The present generation
hardly knew OF him except historically.
Many will remember, however, of see
ing him on his visit to the West and this
city few years ago. He was genial,
old-school gentleman, and his departure
will recall period of the couatry's his
tory of which there are no prominent
survivors,
