ENTER THE HERO.


Let those who do stunts in physical
culture go away back; away with
the champion of the racket, to the
woods with the driver and putter, for
the only real hero is coming into view.
Football practice has been started and
the hero in the making is taking on
form, color and personality.
The very announcement of his COM
ing stills the staccato click of the
cleek in the meadows; tennis becomes
"a mere ladylike diversion as he frames
the howl by which you may know him.
He is not lovely and scarcely lovable,
but the very fact that he will presently
be less lovely and that he may furnish
the centerpiece for funeral festivities
helps him nrodl giousIy in his bid for
the kind applaHse of the public.
? His profession is the continuation of
the out-of- door diversions of the year.
The little ;snivslings boy who played
marbles in 4hes bleak days when the
year was young grows ferocious as the
leaves turn, and becomes a sanguinary
party with aspirations in the direction
of the halfbacks position. The person
who has rendered language discordant
and nearly impossible by interiarding
his conyerse1with talk of stymies, nib
ticks, mashies;f cleeks, puts, foozles.
water hazards and the like, is in po-
sition to see his finish, and if he be
wise is reconciling himself to 1t and
wondering If it was worth the while
after all. For he knows that no more
will the athletic maid follow his move
ments with unmasked admiration. For
him there is nothing but Scotch high
balls instead of garbled Scotch terms.
The tennis champion becomes one Of
the admiring throng in front of the
football bulletin board
We do love the football hero. for a.
little space. We take to the adrniring
attitude and worship him while he re-
mains on his pedestal. We know that
he is hero and measurably great.
We know that the young who are great
are in danger Of dying young-hence
his career holds us. He has emerged
from the chrysalis state and will live
for seyenty-five days-and then be for
gotten by all except the manager of the
football game, who Will sure owe the
hero something. But he exemplffies the
strenuosity of the times and stands OPP
posed to the spirit of ping pong. Hail
the football hero!

wished. And If competition were SO
destroyed free capital would restore 1t
again tomorrow. Railroad combination
has not destroyed competition. Here
competition is relatively unimportant,
for the reason that the state possesses
and exercises, independent of it, the
right to fix rates. But still the compe-
tition between systems and great trade
routes is as powerful and effective as
that between short lines and small
companies was in a former era.
We have ceased to worship competi-
ton as an Industrial divinity; that is
all. We have found that combination
also has its place and office. That dis
covery has made immense changes;
nowhere more general or profound than
in the relation that competition justly
bears to a readjusted economic system.
But it is as unwise to make the mis-
take committed by Mr.. Gompers as to
cleave to that Of the old economists
who believed that absolute freedom Of
competition everywhere furnished the
only escape from industrial slavery and
decay.
These are. two overlapping territories
Of the industrial state. Just where the
sovereignty of the one ends and that of
the other begins we have not as yet
ascertained. Exactly how the author
ity over industry is to be apportioned
between them, the wisest among us do
not yet know. We do know that the
day of unlimited competition will never
come, neither will the day of an abso-
Lutte destruction of competition through
combination. He reckons i'll and can
give but partial and unwise advice
who leaves either Of these contesting
and balancing forces out Of the ac-
count

Dewey on the Navy.

Admiral Dewey's emphatic declara-
ton in favor of a larger navy is war
ranted. He intimates that many YES
sells now on the naval lists are Of
small account, and that is well known
to the experts. There is no reason. as
should be deceived in regard to this
matter. A navy able to defend the
country is necessary to the security of
our coast line and our foreign trade.
1t takes years to build even one vessel.
and when war breaks out, If 1t ever
does, there will be no time to add to
the navy. The way to prevent war is
to be prepared for it. The expense of
preparation Is a mere item as COM
pared with the expense of war, to
say nothing of the loss of life.-Phila-

SOUVENIR SPOONS.

Sir Thomas Upton was unable to lift
the Americas cup, but according to his
stewards confession, many of Sir
Thomas American guests were sue
cessfuI in lifting, without the knowl-
edge Of their host, number of the
his hospitality and confiding to a de-
gree. Sir Thomas failed to take the
precaution to count the spoons after
each dinner he gave on board his yacht,
AS consequence. he returns to Europe
not only a sadder man for having lost
the race, but poorer one for having
lost his spoons.
Naturally Sir Thomas must have
known that there are people in all parts
Of the world whose sole means Of sup
port is the collection of spoons and 9TH
er odd pieces of silver. But what he
did not know. evidently. was that all
such collectors do not enter by way of
the window nor do all carry dark Ian
terms. Had he been aware that there
were spoon collectors who came to dine
in evening dress and who shook their
host cordially by the hand as if the idea
of beating him out Of his spoons were
the last they would ever think of en-
PERTAINING, he might have taken some
precautions. 1t is hardly probable that
he would have had the silver chained
to the table, but he might have substi-
tuted for it plated ware Unfortunate
ly he was not forewarned and therefore
he is minus his spoons.
There is a movement on foot to raise
a sum of money for the purpose Of pur-
chasing Sir Thomas a chest of silver.
The movement commenced before Sir
Thomas double loss was made known,
so that it cannot be ascribed to remorse
on the part of those Americans to
whom he showed courtesy on board his
yacht. But the choice of silver for a gift
was. in view Of subsequent develop
nents, happy one to say the least.
If the plan is successful the gallant
IL lSIlI1ttu Will get DdCh his SpOOIlS, OF
rather, he will get some new ones. If
he were partial to the old silver this
arrangement will not be entirely salts
factory, but Sir Thomas is gentle
man and the regret he may feel over
the disappearance Of the old spoons
will not be allowed to interfere with
his demonstrations of pleasure over the
receipt of the new.
But this matter of spoons is becom-
ing delicate question. Indeed. if Sir
Thomas had the mind, he might make
it an International one He was the
nations guest. 1t had right to pro-
tect his spoons. Postal stamps, playing
cards and autographs all represent fair
grist that comes into the mill of the
man who collects. But the spoons
should be safe. Or if they must be
stolen, let them be stolen in the good
old regulation way. by burglar with
mask, a dark. lantern and proper.
tools. Then there is fair chance of
recovering from the burglar the prop,
erty. But there is not the ghost of a,
chance of recovering from the spoon
collector.

Reform in New YORK.

There is perhaps more call for good
Judgment In reform movements in pol
1t1cs than in almost any other direc-
ton. From failure in this respect the
New York reformers are now in danger
of seeing their victory over Tammany
Hall brought to an end. We believe
it was in their power two years ago to
present a Democrat as their candidate
for mayor who was the equal of Mr..
Low in purity of character and fitness
for the office. Had they done so, we
do not think there would have been
the doubt his reelection that they are
now encountering. The Republicans
then asked too much. and the Demo-
Gratis conceded too much. The time
has now arrived when neither party is
satisfied with its bargain. Both par
ties have got a lesson@Boston Herald.

What Upton Has Done.

Sir ThomasLipton may not have
lifted the cup, but he has done a
number of other things of quite as
much value to the people of both the
empire and the republic. He has
united the sporting feeling of the two
peoples as perhaps it never was
brought together before. He has re-
moved whatever soreness the Dunra-
ven episode may have left on either
side of the water. He has done a large
share in the supreme diplomatic task
of the day-the creation of a friendly
understanding between the two great
English speaking democracies.-Mont
