Hon. George s. Boutwell, of Boston
said regarding the resignation Of F'iske
Warren from the Anti Imperalstic
League: 1T might perhaps be inferred
from the published correspondence that
there has been some unea siness. but
such is not the case. Mr.. Warren re-
signed for reasons of his own. I am
not prepared at present. at least. to say
anything regarding the contents of his

Commencement Days Have Come.

Commencement days again have come,
The proudest of the year.
When youths and maids with wisdom
filled
Upon the stage appear
BY ~, crowds Of friends and relatives
For with an easy confidence
They speak as those inspired
The sweet girl graduate is seen
In all her charming grace,
And though so shy at times, there's now
OF nervousness no trace.
The way to topmost heights OF fame
Is in her essay shown.
And when she stops and archly bows
Bouquets are at her thrown.
With pride the youthful orator
Comes forward on the stage.
And wondrous knowledge makes him
seem
The marvel of the age.
He shows where statesmen oft have
In treating questions great.
He tells of duties that are new
And triumphs that await.
The reasoning of the orator
Some fail to understand.
But there's agreement that he'll be
\ power in the land.
There's peroration that's sublime.
Then piaudits shake the hail.
And as the orator retires
Bouquets around him fall.
Alas. the sweet girl graduate
Too oft forccts high aims,
And fashion or frivoity
Her full attention claims.
Alas, tho youthful orator
Oft sinks to lower rank.
And, caring not for craftsmanship,
Becomes a baseball crank.
But though the promises of youth
Thus often sadly tai.
And knowledge that was dearly bought
Becomes of no avail,
We gladly hail commencement days.
And keep in mind the dates.
Because they bring young orators
And sweet girl graduates.

International Sports for 1901.

All lovers of sport rejoice that so
many international contests are on the
program for the present season. The
winning, this week. of the English
Derby, the worlds greatest horse race.
by horse owned. trained and ridden
by Americans, is, from our point Of
view, q most suspicious beginning OF
these contests. Once before. in 1881.
since the Derby was established n
century and a quarter ago. has an
American carried off this great honor
of the turf. Mr.. Whitney's colt. Vol
odyovski. which won this years Derby.
must have been handicapped by its
name. though some contend that its
fast running was an attempt to get
away from the name. 1t Is too bad
1t did not succeed. For some years
American riders have been winning the
lions share of the honors of the Eng
lish track.
OF course the great international
sporting event Of the year will be the
second attempt of Sir Thomas Upton
to lift the Americas cup. Thus far the
Shamrock ii does not seem a very dan
serous rival for our defenders. but it
will be well to refrain from boasting
until after the race. The Shamrock ii
and the Constitution have both had
very hard luck in the swapping Of
their steel masts during trial spins.
suggesting that in the attempt to Sc
cure a combination of lighter masts
and greater sail area the limit of safety
has been passed. The most remarkable
thing about both accidents was that
no lives were lost. On this side the
interest in the races is increased by the
appearance of the Boston-built indie
pendence which aspires to the honor
Of defending the great yachting trophy
which was brought over from England,
half century ago, and has been
successfully defended a full dozen
times against British challengers. The
Independence is factor to be reCkOned
with in this years races.
But not only in yachting and on the
turf do American and Britain struggle
for supremacy. this year. The athletes
of oxford and Cambridge universities
are coming over in September to meet
those of Harvard and Yale in track
and field sports. The University of
Pennsylvania sends strong eight
cared crew to row in the Henley races
on the Thames, and to race with the
University of Dublin in Ireland. Duffy
and Baxter. Americas greatest anna
teur sprinter and high jumper have
sailed to compete in the English cham
pionship games where they won first
honors, last year. Later the tennis
champions of the two countries will
meet. 1t is great year for inter-
national sport. and both countries
profit by the wholesome manly rivalry
inspired. Perhaps mention should be
made of the international chess tourn-
ament of few weeks ago, which re-
suited in draw. Most people do not
call chess a sport. regarding it as alto
gether too serious and heavy business.
But it was at least an international
contest, and prominently a contest of
brains.

TREAT AL ALIKE

In the bill before congress reducing
certain taxes levied as a war measure
the senate finance committee has GER
tainly done an injustice to the manufac-
turers OF proprietary medicines. One Of
the propositions was to take off one
half the tax. This seemed to be fair, and
it treated all proprietary medicines on
the same basis The senate committee
afterwards proposed to retain the tax.
but exempt preparations with published
formulas. In other words to give the
benefit of the reduction to houses putting
up the so-caIled non-secret remedies.
These firms make an imitation article
ana offer the preparations to druggists
at a low price. They live upon the trade
they largely secure through druggists
who substitute limitations in place Of the
regularly advertised goods. This pro-
posed legislation would give these sub
stitute manufacturers the advantage OF
paying no government stamp tax, in adj
dition to the present one they have in
doing no advertising and proflting by the
advertisements of the manufacturers OF
the genuine articles.
This is certainly unjust and a compe-
tition hard to meet. While there are
patent medicines unworthy of the trade.
the fact remains that the great majority
of those advertised in the newspapers
are Of unquestioned merit or they would
not retain the popular favor from year
to year.
There is no reason why this interest
should be Disseminated against. 1t has
paid millions OF war taxes into the treas
ury. Now under the pressure of the
public demands for a reduction Of these
taxes, proprietary medicines should re-
ceive the same consideration that is
shown to other interests, and the max
ers Of all proprietary preparations be
treated alike. Certainly no discrimina-
ton like the one proposed by the senate
finance committee should be permitted
to become a law. The proprietary ar
ticles are obviously entitled to protection
by their patents. 1t is only natural that
the formula of the preparation should
remain a secret, as such formula in the
case OF many highly meritorious articles
often represents the Ife-work of capable
physicians
If the tax is taken off IN the case of
one kind of patent medicine 1t should be
taken or in the other. If it is reduced
on one, it should be given the same re-
duction in the other.

A bulletin on the cultivation, compo-
sition and uses OF the sunhower plant
has been prepared by DR.. II W Wiley
and issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. It shows that the
sunfiOwer can be grown successfully
over large areas in the United States;
that it is a crop which makes a consid-
cradle drain on the elements Of soil fer
tilizers. that one of the most valuable
constituents Of the plant il the Oil which
exists in large quantities in the seeds;
that the economic production Of the sun
flowers Is now confined almost exolu-
sively TO Russia. where It is an agricuI-
tural industry OF considerable import
ance; that in the United States it is
grown as an ornament and for the pro-
ductlon OF seeds. which are used chiefly
for poultry and bird feeding and for
continental and medicinal properties
with farm animals; that the oil Of the
sunnower seed il not produced CONNER
cially in the United States; and that in
the cultivation or the sunf1ower the
methods pursued for growing Indian
corn are to be followed. and the plant is
capable OF cultivation over almost as
wide an area as Indian corn.
