including different ones going and re-

Secretary Baer has sent letters to all
trustees of the United Societies asking
for suggestions as topics and names of
speakers, and hopes to make this the
best programme ever arranged. The
reason for going to the Pacific Coast
this year is to help Endeavor work
there. AT first it was thought that the
San Francisco meeting, owing to the
distance, might prove less we'll attended
than usual, but it is found that many of
the brightest men who stayed away
from recent conventions because Of the
crowds attending them, are planning to
go to San Francisco.

Mr.. Hoyt at intervals during the re-

entertainment by requesting another

light of the audience.

Victory for Wholesome Sport.

That was a bold stroke and a benefi-
cent one for the cause of wholesome col
lege athletics recently made by the
President and faculty of Ohio State Uni
versity. 1t was alongh the lines of that
other worthy effort by the University of
Pennsylvania, disclosed through insis-
tence upon it's athletes attaining GER
tain standard of scholastic excellence
before being eligible to candidacy for
any of the teams, and maintaining that
excellence in order to stay on them.
The Ohio University had in the Cap
tain of it's present eleven a most Jealous
and expert worker in football, but an
Indifferent disciple in the classroom.
That is to say, he cut recitations and
neglected his duties as student gen.
orally AS result, the faculty requested
his resignation of the football captaincy,
and suspended him from college. Fol-
lowing upon this action came student
petition to the faculty for the reinstate-
ment of the Captain. But the faculty,
strongly backed by the President of the
University, not only resolutely held their
| position, but convinced majority of the
undergraduates of the need of just such
drastic measures if the healthful pros
| perity of their sport was to be consid-
cred.
That this salutary influence produced
good results was illustrated subsequent
| w when the football eleven declined to
take advantage of the permission OF
rival college team to play against it the
| ex- Captain under an assumed name, In
order that the State University might
not lose his services, and the faculty be
none the wiser.
Nothing has been done at any college
| In this country that more truly shows
| the spirit of sport for the sake of the
playing, and not necessarily for the win
ming. than this action of the Ohio Uni
versity faculty and it's reception and
support by the undergraduates Har-

WASHINGTON, JAN 9.-Secratary
Herbert has ordered the battleship
Texas to visit Galveston on February
10th to receive an elaborate silver serv-
ice costing about $4,000, the money
having been raised by popular subscrip-
ton throughout the State.

Immediately following her duty with

About a Boom in Japan.

There is a boom" on in Japan-a
berless varieties of manufacturing
plants from Nagasaki to Hakodate.
This may lead to reproduction and
financial disaster. Let us hope not, for
the proud little kingdom deserves bet
ter fate. But some of Japan's ablest
business men acknowledge the boom and
fear the consequences. Coming right
after the war with China, it bears some
resemblance to the remarkable Ameri
can industrial development following
the civil war.
The haste and effort to make large
profits have resulted oftentimes in pro-
ducing poor quality of goods and the
consequent loss of markets. The Jap
anese manufacturers, as a whole, have
not yet learned to maintain a permanent
high standard. 1t is claimed that they
do not plan for the future. They think
| too much of the present. This is used
as an argument against their Compel
tive capability and may prove valid if
a change is not accomplished, but it
would seem that time would remedy the
| defect.
| Inc JdpdUeSt anu NIl1IleSc HDlllc ue-

America and Europe, and it may be

| The visitor to Yokohama is continually
reminded, moreover that he should buy
his clothing there, especially shirts, be-
cause prices are apparently so much
| less than in San Francisco and New
York. If the enterprising traveller will go
to half the trouble in America to read
the advertisements in local papers, he
will find that he can obtain shirts of
equal quality at the same or a less
price. Perhaps a man can purchase
dress suit in Yokohama for $40, gold,
but he will get a $40 fit, and the first
evening he wears it at the club or
theater at home will be also the last one.
Nor can a japanese tailor make an
American laboring mans suit for $40,
gold that can equal in wear what can
be purchased for that sum in a hundred
Chicago clothing stores. If large whole
sale clothing manufacturing plants are
established In the place of the present
small back rooms, it is possible that
