Relations in athletics between the east
ern and western universities are bound to
be closer this year than formerly, when
contests between the colleges of the east

the rule. The latest Is that Princeton
will play Michigan at foot ball next fall,
and a year hence, while Yale Is going to
play a Memorial day game OF base ball

reason of the acquisition of the Philip
pines it is advisable to make
change in its commander just at this

J. J. DarnelI, miles southeast OF this
city. He says that he has lost forty
acres of barley, the work of grasshop-
pers. He had one piece Of barley that
was ready to harvest and as soon as he
got to work in that the "hOppers''
doubled on him and went into the forty
acre piece full force, and not being
quite ripe they had it totally destroyed

Under the caption Reform by Mega
tion.' the Detroit Journal discusses
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon's refusal to
ride on the street cars of that city on
Sunday as follows:
Now, strangely enough, he does not
censure the street railway corporations
for running their cars. Why? They
run their cars because the public ride
in them. If the public would not ride
IN the cars on Sunday the companies
would not run them. BY his example
he will dissuade the people, at least
Christians. from tempting the compan-
les to run their cars on Sunday. The
logic Of his position is unassaIlable; the
sin Is not upon those who run the cars
but upon those who ride in them.
This same principle of negation. ap-
Piled to other social evils, would quickly
work out a complete reformation For
instance. there would be no Sunday
theaters If the public did not go to the
playhOuses on Sunday; there would be
no Sunday baseball playing if the fans
didn't crowd the bleachers at every
Sunday game; there would be no brew
cries if the public didn't drink beer.
and there would be no cigarettes made
IL callow youth did not consume them.
Tt might be added here in Topeka that
there would be no joints if there were
no patrons of them

In its report to the president, the IN
sular commission appointed to examine
into the condition of affairs In Porto
Rico says:
THE former plan Of owning all tele-
graph lines and instruments by the gov
ernment and operating the same in con-
nection with the postoffice department
Is one plan of the Spanish government
which meets our hearty approval, and
we think ought to be maintained. We
also think that many of the offices
abandoned and closed by the signal
corps ought to be reOpened and service
restored to meet the demands of busi-
ness, even If not needed for military
purposes
Commenting on the report the Gin
cinnati Commercial-Tribune says:
This comes dangerously near the So
cialiStfc governmental ownership of rail-
roads and telegraph, for if it is good
thing to operate the telegraph in Por-
to Rico, why would 1t not be a good
thing to operate them for the benefit of
the people in the parent country?
