Apropos to the visit of Prof. James
j. Jeffries, it is interesting to know
that a Yale professor of physical Gull
ture who recently examined him.
states that he is in a decidedly poor
physical condition. He is what the
athletic craft call stale. And not only
is he weak physically, but he is also
deteriorating mentally. He can stand
little or no punishment on the body.
the professor says, and it would require
but blow or two to put him out en-
'tirely. This is a most startling state
ment. Yet we doubt if any who saw
the magnificent giant will be influenced
thereby in putting up. their stuff"
The fact is, college professors are not
infallible even in their own special
branches of learning. They have blum
dered before as regards pugilists. Most
folks will prefer to take Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons's estimate of the big fellow.

!frightful climate,
On paper there are abouy forty
thousand men under arms in the is
lands, but really there are scarcely SO
per cent. of that number with the col
ors, the bullets of the Filipinos,A but
principally the deadly climate, hating
done the work for the remainder of
these splendid young heroes. The most
optimistic view cannot improve on this
statement of the situation, while the
actual facts may be very much worse,
since every possible precaution has
been taken by the officials at Manila
and Washington to prevent the truth
from getting into print, Gen. Otis hav-
ing lately issued a RusSian-like order
forbidding newspaper correspondents
with the army even to send their letters
by mail to Hong Kong, there to be
transmitted by cable home, which
many newspaper correspondents have
had to do to escape having their letters
emasculs..ed or entirely suppressed by
the Manila censor. Thus the American
people can only guess at the actual
truth as to the situation and the condi-
ton of our little army of heroes in
that forbidding land, never meant for
white occupancy. What is known,
however, is sufficiently distressing and
the President would have done much
better to have frankly taken the people
into his confidence long ago. Our army
there has not been sufficient to hold
the half of what it has taken. The
troops cannot be spared for garrison
duty, the consequence being that as
soon as captured town is deserted by
the troops the natives return to full
that some of the towns near Manila
have been taken four or five times with
losses each time, the natives return
ing in the absence of garrison the
moment the troops leave. Such mill
tary work is worse than futile 1t is
work done and lives lost for worse
than nothing, for it but serves to dis
hearten and wear out both officers and
men while it reveals to the natives our
supreme weakness.
The reinforcements the President has
finally been compelled to order cannot
be expected to materially improve the
situation, since they will at most be
but about $4,000 men all told-a mere
handful to assist our army against the
millions of natives. 1t is, however, the
most that can be done in this direc-
ton until Congress shall warrant the
raising of another great volunteer
army, for low estimate is that it will
require at least 100000 men to COM
pletely rout the Filipinos and then hold
what has been captured even around
Manila.
1t is a situation that has anything
but cheerful outlook, but it is one
which the bungling, Wall-street-dom-
mated administration at Washington
alone is responsible for.

THE Il. r. q. &.


The Elks, whose colors are white and
the royal purple because they are all
princes of good fellows and royal en-
tertainers, will open their great show
on Monday.
To say that we welcome them is a
mere form and perfunctory use of
words, and in no sense conveys the
heartiness and warmth (this is not a
weather joke and good WILL good
wishes and all-round hospitality with
which we extend to the boys our hand
We are glad to have them with us; we
regret they have not given us such a
blowout before, and we hope they will
do it again at the earliest opportunity,
for it is bound to be a tremendous and
unadulterated success from every point
OF view. This much everybody knows
who has visited the island and noted
the vast extent of the preparations for
this great and varied Midway show
which, in truth, will be worth coming
miles to see-even if you do have to
walk.
The Elks know how to do these
things as no others do. They are at
home doing them, for they were born
kings of good fellows.

Booker Washington has written an
elaborate discussion of the lynching
question, in which he says the negro
should be taught industry and also
should remain in the South to work out
his own salvation. This is wise advice.
But we cannot altogether agree as to
the logic of his further statement that
lynching does not prevent crime. This
may be true in the abstract, since
lynching itself is in the nature of a
crime and unlawful; but to hold that
it does not act as a preventive or at
least a powerful deterrent in the case
of that crime for which the negro is
usually lynched in the South, is to hold
that severe punishment of criminals
does not prevent crime. Were not
Southern men in the habit of taking
summary vengeance in these cases who
can tell how prevalent this abominable
crime might be in the South?
