AS IS well known, West Point Gov
ernors are not sparing of hard work for
the cadets. and encourage them in severe
athletic sports and exercises. But the
Governing Board of the Military Acad-
emy has resolved that the line must be
drawn at football as now played, and has
forbidden the cadets to engage in it until
the method of the game is modified so as
to remove the dangers to which it now
exposes its participants. That sets the
pace tor the colleges, and it may now be
safely counted upon that the game will
be speedily crushed out unless its pro-
moters make radical changes in the
''tackle' and the 'crawling" rules.

ACCORDING to expert reports at the
East of long-continued trials, the much
desired economic storage battery has been
discovered. Street cars are now operated
by such batteries economically in one Of
the large cities of the East, and far more
safely and easily than by means of the
overhead wire and the trolley, We may
therefore look forward confidently to the
introduction of the new battery upon the
street railway lines in California. The
disappearance OF the trolley wire poles
from our streets will result in the very
decided Improvement of the appearance
of our municipal highways. Speed the
day of the economic storage battery.

ages nor discourages. 1t has. in fact,
nothing whatever to do with it.
The instant the Government should
commit itself to the expenditure of pub
lie funds for improvement of private
property, that instant it would open
foodgates that would permit an empty
ing of the public treasury, and besides it
would bring on contention and trouble
that would take revolutionary form-in-
deed, any such attempt to use public
funds might well justify revolution.
No, if we would conserve the disposi-
ton of Congress to treat the Sacramento
River, let US say nothing to it about
reclamation of private lands at public
cost. The advancement of such an idea
will tend to deprive us of aid for river
reclamation.

Inc composer reported the robbery to, the
ponce, with little hope, however, of re-
gaming ms property. The incident nat
uralIy <was told in the newspapers.
Iwenty-tour hours later the Senior re-
celYed a package containing the money
and the following letter:
Most HOROTed Master: BY mistake
one of our colleagues yesterday stole your
pocketbook and its contents. Through
the papers he learned of his error. The
President OF the society, to whom was in
trusted the duty of repairing the evil
done, honors himself in returning this to
you, with the 800 pesetas. In order to
avoid such mistake in the future we
have retained your photograph, to which
we shall give prominent place in our
council chamber. Never again will the
honorable Association of Madrid Pick
pockets forget that it was you, honored
Master, through your operetta, who gave
US a respectable and deserving place in
society With highest respect,
LIES TRES RATAs."
The famous composer, however, is not
the only one in Spain who is to be ex-
empt from the depredations OF this class
of citizens. A few days after Chucca had
recovered his property the wife of Senor
MoranO, prominent editor of Barcelona,
lost her gold watch, studded with dia-
monds. The Senior in his paper offered a
reward for the return of the timepiece,
promising to ask no questions. The pa
per had been on the street only few
hours when handsomely dressed man
called at the Office and asked to see the
editor He gave him package and dis
appeared. The package contained the
watch. The next mail brought letter
saying that the watch had been stolen by
a Barcelona ''rata," but that as soon as
the council had learned that the jewel be-
longed to an EDITORS wife it had decided
TO return it. 1--WE are not less honor
able" the letter went on, than our
Madrid colleagues. Artists, authors and
journalists in future are to be safe against
our attacks"

Strange Experience of Chucca, the

All Madrid has been amused at a re-
markable experience which befell Senor
Chucca, the composer, recently in the
Spanish capital. In his latest piece, "La
Gran Via" which has been the chief at
traction at the opera-house for some time,
the maestro has endeavored to immortal
ize three piekpockets, known as Les
tres Ratas." The characters, in fact, are
the chief ones of the piece.
While riding in one OF the tram-cars of
Madrid one of the "long-fngered gentry"

our weekly contemporary the

Our weekly contemporary the Tbenois
says:
The Government has carried on extensive
and costly reclamation works on the Aissis-
sippi River, and the whole country IS taxed
TO ray the bills The work which the Gov
ernmeat has for years carried on on that
river at great expense, is not, as some people
seem 10 think, prosecuted for the purpose of
improving the navigation OF that stream.
incidentally the navigable character of the
river is improved, but the main object, to ac-
cOnplish which immense sums OF money are
expended annually. is to protect private es-
tates from inunda ion. The protection of prt-
vate property Is the object, while the preser-
vation Of the navigabiHty OF the river is the
incident of the Mississippi River improve
ment scheme.
So it is argued that reclamation
scheme may be properly urged upon
Congress in connection with the sore
need for extensive treatment of the Sac
ramento River to restore and preserve
its navigability, as the RECORD UNION
years ago urged. It is added:
Unless the matter be presented TO the ma
tionaI legislature on the basis Of combining
the two improvements it will not have been
presented TO the best advantage of the sec
lions and people who are most interested.

whatever in the history of national legis-
lation to show that Congress has ever au-
thorized expenditure of public funds for
the reclamation of private lands. On
the contrary, the distinctly American
and steadily adhered to policy of the ma
tional Government has been, and is, to
do nothing for such reclamation.
It will and does treat the free high
ways-the rivers-because they are the
heritage Of all the people. So far as treat
nlent of navigable rivers tends to prevent
their overflow, and thus to conserve the
reclamation of swamp and overfowed
lands. that incident is to the benefit of
private owners. But it is merely an in
