 | However, the Ely adherents were soon the objects of attack in many uni versailles, Pennsylvania particularly condemning them. To offset in some degree the influence of the support of the ethical grandmothers'' as the oc- oupants of the chairs who had sup ported Ely were termed, drastic meas ures were taken against Ely himself.
 The department of public instruc- tion of Wisconsin, at Madison, took the first move. Prof. Oliver B. Wells prepared formal protest against the influence of the new ideas, declaring, indeed, that the university of Wiscon- sin was becoming hotbed of social ism and though its professor of econ omies was contaminating the seats of learning from Chicago to San Fran cisco (This is hit at the university of California; Director Wells declared that Prof. Ely believes in strikes and boycotts, justifying and encouraging the one while practicing the other. He instanced numerous cases and examples in support of his charge. He is even accused of forming secret organiza- tion of university professors for the spread of ''lawless" theories "In con-, versation with a capitalist" declares Director Wells, Prof Ely asserted that where skillful workman was needed dirty, dissipated, unmarried, unreliable and unsl1illed tramp, if union man, should be employed in preference to an industrious, skillful, trustworthy, nonunion man who is the head of family."
 Prof. Ely's teachings further de- clares the advocate of the anti-Flyites in conducting the quarrel on behalf of. the protesting universities reveal other 1awless and demoralizing doctrines, "but masked by glittering generalities and mystical and metaphysical state ments susceptible of various interper- tations." Prof. Ely, in short, is deemed "pernicious.' His doctrines "would furnish seeming moral justification of attacks upon life and property such as the country has already become too familiar with"

those immediately concerned under stood the significance of the contest that has broken out among the uni versailles.
 What next happened in the battle has yet to be made public. It is here stated for the first time. All the uni versailles, without exception, agreed that Gov. Crounse had inflicted an un- deserved humiliation upon a college professor who had simply done what was his manifest duty-that is, ex- plained from his standpoint, the cur rent aspect of economic problems. Even those universities which had op- posed the Ely adherents agreed in this. Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Chicago. Yale, Brown, Washington and Lee, Bowdoin and Pennsylvania expressed their sense of the wrong done to Prof. Heron. So sensible was the governor of the possible wrong he had unwit- sIngly done one of the most eminent scholars of the west Prof. Heron has received degree from Cambridgel that he expressed his sense of that fact to the professor himself. It may be well at this point to quote the op- iectionable passage which precipitated the little tempest.
 "We Americans" declared Prof. Her. ron, and his remarks it may be noted here, were suppressed, "have not de- mocracy yet. We do not select, we elect our representatives. Our Aneri- can senate of to-day is forcibly remind ing us of the court of Louis XVI.

throughout Germany he has been hailed as the founder of an American school of thought in sympathy with that historcal school of which Schmol- Ter, in the fatherland, is the head and front.
 The quarrel, in brief, Is based upon the conflicting attitudes of the differ ent universities in this country on the question of the strike and boycott and hinges upon the thesis: Are the work ingmen really lawless in resisting the application of statute enactments when engaged in contests on a great scale with their employers9 Prof. Ely, and in this he has no less than nine universities at his back, contends that these demonstrations have an ethical sanction even when organized labor re- rosts to the boycott, the prevention of nonunion from taking its place and to those moro drastic measures which have been usually condemned as law. less. This position was disputed by Prof. Arthur Latham Perry, of Brown university, the most distinguished ex- ponent of what is known as orthodox economics in the land. He Is the warm friend of J. Sterling Morton, the secre- tary of agriculture, and through his in- fluence the professors at Yale lost no time in combating the position of Prof. Ely. But Harvard soon declared itself in favor of the Ely theories and the battle may be said to date from that stand of the venerable seat of learning.
 Meanwhile both factions were wait ing for the action of the University of Chicago. This new seat of learning derives special importance from it's rich endowment and radical experi- ment In the line of higher education. Being supported by well-known cap italist, it was thought that it would oppose the Ely theories, but to the sur prise of both fact&ns the university not only approved the Ely method but adopted his works as authorities in their line of sociology. This was so severe blow to the other side that such universities throughout the west as had hesitated now came out boldly in favor of Ely. This was particularly noticeable in the case of Iowa college and of the University of Nebraska which have been accused by the cap italistic interests as upholding an- ,archy. Indeed the last commencement of Nebraska was made memorable by an incident still fresh in the public mind. The governor of Nebraska re- buked from, the commencement plat form the utterances of Prof. George Heron, who had espoused the cause of Ely with considerable warmth.

 One by one the universities of the land, from Harvard to Johns Hopkins, have been drawn into controversy which has become so warm and bitter that men of national reputation may be described as at daggers drawn.
 Richard T. Ely, famed not only in his native land, but all over the world as student of sociological and econ omic questions, may be said to have originated the combat, or rather to be the means of It's inception. He is at present professor of political science and history and director of the school of economies in the University of Wis cousin, and some years ago was of the faculty of Johns Hopkins. Such for efgn seats of learning as Oxford, Bonn, Barcelona, Heidelberg and others have conferred degrees upon him, and

Thoughts Suggested by the Yacht Races Expert Opinion Upon Some Emi- nent British Liars Who Have
 Visited These Shores.
[coPYRreHT, 1s94.l

The same excellent judgment which enabled Albert Edward to be born prince of Wales has been displayed by him in the recent remarkable series of yacht races between the Britannia and the Vigilant. Few men have ever ex- hibited such masterly control of the weather. Not since the immortal Tur- ner made the wind blow two ways at once and caused iron balls and chains to float beside his slave ship has any person ventured to rule the wave in such an arbitrary manner. If this is a sample of what Wales can do in the ex- ercise of high authority we may expect wonderful things when he ascends the throne. On the other hand, if this Is only luck, I don't wonder that the prince likes baccarat, but am surprised that he can get anybody to play with him.
 Seriously, I am of the opinion that there never was anything like that series of races spent large part of my early life in the vicinity of Boston, and have often gone out in linen dus- ter and come home with my pockets full of snowballs, but 1t seems that there are still meteorological phenome- na that can surprise me.
 And the better a persons memory, the more amasing these occurrences are to him.
 The language of the English yachts men who, from time to time, have come over here for the American cup, and have won second money with license to try it again, is still ringing in my ears.
 Having never been to England, and being by nature of trustful disposi- tion, I accepted their descriptions of yachting conditions over there with the most childlike confidence. I was ready to admit (since several titled personages said sol that the Atluntio ocean off Sandy Hook was small body of water and unfit for racing purposes Way back in the days of Galatea and the Genesta I had accepted this view and had begun to be ashamed of my country as a place which could not get up breeze of wind nor boat fit to sail in one.
 had cruised along our coast more or less myself, and had frequently seen decks awash and the first mate hold ing the captains hair on, but If titled gentlemen from England were willing to swear that our sailing was boy's play, why it must be so, said I.
 we'll remember those occasions when the yachts went down the bay and did not find wind enough to carry them over the course. The papers next morning were always full of the re- marks of our visitors about the superb ority of England over us in these mat ters
 did not then perceive how deeply ballasted with wisdom the remarks were. It now appears that they always do have little wind over there for one of the boats, and I can seq how deeply disgusted these gentlemen must have been at the sight of one of our impar- tial calms. It is certainly much better to manage it as they do over there, and if there is only little wind to get it all

to one boat, so that the spectators may not lose interest in the contest
 In illustration of the value of this method quote from report of one of the recent races, as follows:
 ''The wind Is now blowing hard from the north. The vigilant has got the weather berth and is drawing ahead.
 "The wind has shifted to the south. The Vigilant is now being blanketed and the English boat is gaining.
 "They passed Mutton Chop point with the Britannia two minutes in the lead. The Britannia now has the wS'ld from the west and is scudding before 1t. The Vigilant follows close hauled in light air from the eask
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-08-05

Both yachts have good breeze from the north. The Yankee boat is forss ing ahead, and has overcome lead of seven minutes. They rounded Guff3ns Light with the Vigilant nine seconds ahead.
 "The Vigilant now leads by about two miles. They are headed for the Rosters. This Is run of one mile with seventeen turns.
 "The American has run into calm streak. The Britannia has three-reef breeze over the starboard quarter, and Is closing up the gap at a great rate.
 "The Britannia leads. The weather is now variable. Lookout on the end of the Vigilant's bowsprit in a thick fog. The sun is so hot amidships that the pitch is running out of the seams.
 Ut Is now showing on the man at the wheel. The lookout on the bowsprit has been sunstruck and has fallen over board.
 Capt Waff has been overcome with dizziness on account of turning so many corners and the port watch is turning him around the other way in order to straighten him out. A heavy thunder shower has como up and the Vigilant has set her lightning rod, which seems to be drawing we'll, though everything else is becalmed.
 "The Britannia at the Mutton Chops point, on the second round, had a lead of three-quarters of an hour.
 "A steady breeze has sprung up and the Vigilant is now leading.
 "The Yankee boat passed Gufflns light at 2:16:22, and then drifted back again stern first at s:19:18. The Britannia has passed her with the wind from the east. The Vigilant has it straight up and down.
 ''They are now running for the Roast- CTS on the last round. The Vigilapt has taken a long hitch out into the bay and has got becalmed again, just as everybody conceded her a sure win- ner.
 Wales boat hugged the shore at g. spot where there has not been any wind before In nine years, and struck good breeze which increased her lead by five minutes.
 ''On the home stretch the Vigilant made splendid effort and gained eighteen minutes in run of two miles, but she could not overcome her rivals lead, and the Britannia finished two seconds ahead at 4:11:44.
 Now that is what they call race over on the other side. Perhaps it is just as well. I have meditated on it for nearly two weeks and don't know what to call it.
 But can readily perceive that per sons brought up on that sort of thing should see something grossly unfair ina beat of twenty miles to windward in the open ocean and a run back again.
 Congratulatory telegrams were sent to the prince of Wales after the race, whose salient features I have briefly described.
 He was playing baccarat tthe house of Sir Joha Softmark, and was greatly delighted at the news which was read aloud to the company. Sir John then bought another stack of red chips and remarked that he did not see how Any- thing belonging to his royal higTAess could lose.
 The result of these races set fhe prince right with his American cousins. We have understood over here that his luck was not first rate. We have been told that every time he got good hand
