CO1leEe Athletics.

distinguished writer in pamphlet puD-
lished by the intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
ton says that an immense improvement In the
moral and physical status of college graduates
has taken place since the introduction Of athletic
games in college. In fact the honor list OF any
college, il examined, will show the names OF
prominent athletes among the few who have
earned that proud distinction There is no rea-
son why brain and Drawn should be antag-
onistic. In support of this last proposition the
action of that genial iuvgorant, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which in Strengthening the
body increases mental activity, may be author
itatively cited. This famous medicine overeomes
the dyspepsia peculiar to persons of sedentary
inactive habits, yields sound refreshing sleep.

The spectacle of a Grant serving on
the staff Of Il Lee under the flag of the
Union is about the most inspiring that
the war has yet given us. 1t was d
dying wish OF the great conQueror that
some day a Grant and Lee might fight
side by side for this country. and now
Algernon Sartoris, a grandson of Cen
eral Grant is to serve on the staff of
Major General Lee, the nephew of The
great Confederate leader. The spirit
revealed in this picturesque episode
appeals to every American heart It
sends thrill to the souls of patriots
and Vibfates with the dominant i'm
pulse of our National character. The
Grants and Lees are together! The
loyal sons of the Union, claspng hands
beneath the Stars and Stripes, and
dedicated to the cause of peace and
liberty Ivy common inheritance of
heroic deeds, present an example of
patriotic devotion which adds new
glory to the meaning of the flag.

Bahamas and Jamaica, the transaction
would be not only equitable but decid-
ed,v advantageous to the United States.
rut such a sale or exchange would no
doubt make serious trouble with our
relations with European nations. Rus
sia France and Germany already look
with bitter envy on Britain's vast
Oriental Empire. There would be
grave danger that they would violently
resent a plan which increased that
Empire by the richest islands of the
Eastern seas. commanding the main
channels of communication between
China, Japan and Europe.
Thus it is easy to see that great
problem confronts cur government as
the result of our naval triumph in the
Pacific, a. problem not to be settled off
hand For the present, at least, we
shall have TO retain the Philippines
ourselves. and send troops there to
make our control secure; and in any
case we should hold n permanent coal
ing station there. AS for the islands
themselves. undoubtedly the best fate
which could happen to the archipelago
and its inhabitants would be to make
this possession permanent. We could
give them q better government than
could any other nation, and surer
and more comprehensive evolution of
their native resources. We are already
strong enough-and we shall soon be
far stronger still-to compel absolute
respect for our authority in the Paci-
fic as in the Atlantic. Our own interests
and policy, however. may dictate that
our control of the Philippines be only
temporary.

Some papers are urging that after
the United States has driven Spain out
of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines the next step should be to evict
It from the Caroline Islands These is
lands were free up to some time during
the eighties, when Spain claimed the
right of sovereignty. although Ameri-
can missionaries had educated the peo-
pie and given them an orderly govern
ment Germany also manifested dis
position to grab them. and dispute
arising with Spain, the Pope was called
upon to arbtrate and decided that
Spain was entitled to the sovereignty.
It thereupon took possession and at
once destroyed the American churches
and schools and forced the people to
submit by destroying their villages,
killing many of the people, and threat
ening to exterminatc them if they did
not deliver up their arms. This coun-
try has not yet taken any steps to-
wards securing the rights Of American
residents or demanding indemnity for
property destroyed. If anything
is to be done now is good
opportunity to do it and to finish up
this Spanish job and to get a naval
station besides. The Carolinians are as
much entitled to freedom as the Gu
bans.
