OF SPORT AFlELD
Geo. R. Carter's Address
to Oahu Students.
For Clean and Wholesome Sports.
Betting Sound Advice Given
on Athletics.

Not man in Honolulu. or n woman
either for that matter admiring in the
least clean sport would have missed a
talk given at Oahu College yesterday
morning had there been an advertise
ment OF the speaker and subject. As
il was the students and the faculty had
the treat all to themselves, for which
they are TO be both congratulated and
upbraided
Geo. R. Carter. captain Of the Hea-
lani boat club and the veteran football
player and authority, gave lecture of
half an hour on Athletics" Mr.. Car
ter in his day was in Yale's football
team and crew. Locally he is known
as man who loves sport for the sport
itself. As an individual he has done
his full share here the last few years
for beating and every thing else liked
by those fond of athletic games and
sports.
The speaker was able from his long
experience TO give advice especially on
college athletics. He said he just want
ed TO talk 10 the students in a plain.
straightforward manner, and he sue
eeeded in doing it. Mr.. Carter spoke
of the great benefit rational athletics
had been to the woman as we'll as to
the men. He counselled keeping with
in the limits, never forgetting that
competition often met defeat. that be-
ing beaten honorably was no disgrace.
Sharper than anything else was the
condemnation of anything approach
ing a mercenary spirit All color of
professionalism, as professionalism
has degenerated in these days should
be kept from college athletics and was
10 be frowned upon in all circles. The
hacker who was betting his money on
team or crew was not its friend
unless it won. Those who loved sport
continued the firm friend of a team or
crew whether il won or lost.
Football might be rough. Mr.. Car
ter, admitted. but when played with
skill had its dangers reduced to the
minimum and any man who was able
10 contest on the gridiron and who had
the nerve to get into the thick of
scrimmage was made the better man
by the work. Study should not be sub
ordinated to athletics, but if the sports
were properly managed their indul-
gence would prove an incentive to
study and benefit to any institution.
All of the students were very much
pleased with the lecture by Mr.. Carter
and next year want TO hear him again
just before the season opens. because
they say his advice is beneficial and
practical in the extreme.

Miss ROsalind Young Again Re.
stored To Health.
A great many people in Honolulu
have read Miss Rosalind Young's book
pitcairn" She was born on that ISL
and, was a descendant of one of the
mutineers of the Bounty" and being
an intelligent woman produced a work
that deserves to rank with similar pro-
auctions by the best authors. Miss
Young was here about year ago.
She has an interesting. attractive per-
sonality and made a friend and ad
mirer of everyone with whom she came
in contact. She was then en- route TO
the States for medical treatment. Those
who knew her will be pleased to learn
that her health was quite restored. She
spent few months at the Sanitarium,
St Helena, Napa County, California,
and then went under the care of the
experts at Battle Creek Mich. 1t was
there she was pronounced cured. Miss
Young is now the guest of Pennsyl-
vania lady who took a great interest
in her and will not let her return to
Pitcairn till next year. This remark
able woman came to Honolulu from the
Colonies. Up to a very short time
prior to her arrival here she had of
course never seen such thing as a
railway, electric light, tram car, tele-
phone or engine. Through it all she
was undemonstrative and showed a
range of knowledge gained by reading
that was little less than marvellous.
Very much of the story of Pitcairn as
told by her, while known to be his
/ torieally correct, reads like romance
OF the Middle Ages. The Burgesses and
several others of Honolulu are quite
intimate with Miss Young and hear

KANSAS.
TEL.

The condition OF the State OF
Kansas at the present time, gives
one Of the best illustration of the
extremes in the evolution OF Am
erican communities. Commencing
as the bleeding" State, and as the
arena on which the first bloody con-
fiict took place between the free
and slave labor forces, before 1860,
II developed with such repidity that
in one year 10000 emigrants set
tied ON Its lands. 1t was desolated
with droughts in 1869 and 1870,
was prosperous in 1872, was atfict
ed with the grasshopper plague in
1915, became enormously prosper
Gus in 1878, in 1856 was the field
for a most extensive land boom,
and the farmers, with reckless ex-
ravagance, borrowed Eastern
money, for which they had no real
use, and put their farms under
mortgages amounting TO over
S200.000,000. In 1883, the boom
burst. Thousands OF people aban-
doned their farms and left the
State, the owners disappeared and
the mortgages remained unpaid.
In many sections it was a scene OF
desolation. In central and western
Kansas, the people remaining were
mainly those who could not get
away. and during the last FIVE years
the misery. the want, the discor-
agements that prevailed have had
no parallel in American history.
But out Of this tragedy in evolu
ton, good has come. The dollar
wheat" and the doubling up OF the
price Of corn, has brought prosper
Iity to the people, beyond expecta-
ton, and more than all, has given
them hope and taught them a les
son, which this generation will not
forget. They have learned that
the community will not prosper
under "booms," that if money is
borrowed, it must be repaid, and
that there is no royal road to
wealth. The free silver policy is
in allegiance. Dollar (gold) wheat
| is quite enough. The banks can
not lend their deposits and the
farmer sees that there Is no use for
free silver, when the coin on hand
Is more than enough.
If another year brings cheap
wheat, the farmers will see that the
want of the silver currency is not
the real trouble; that there Is some
thing behind it, and he will then
ask what is the real difficulty
