THE FATE OF SPAIN.

One Of the few countries which real
ly has to fear the social revolution
is Spain. Both socialism and it's nat
ural daughter, anarchy, have made
more progress there than almost any
where else in the world. They have
found fit and favorable soil in the de-
caying institutions, the pitiless eco
nomic system and the wretched condi-
ton of the masses of the Spanish peo-
pie.
Here, indeed, is the only explanation
increase of socialism in the nineteenth
century. 1t is a product of ignorance
wrought upon by poverty. Never from
the beginning Of the world has a peo-
pie subject to intoIerable despotism
found any means of escape except
through revolution. Socialism and an
archy are essentially revolutionary,
and appeal irresistibly to people
whose present is without alienation
and whose future is without hope
There are no more wretched peasant
ry in existence today than those Of
Spain. The country has been taxed
and taxed again for centuries, until all,
that is left for the laborer is "a. bare
existence on plane little above that,
Of the brute. At the top is an absolute,
monarchy well hated by the people
and tempered by an alleged constitu-
tional government. In the latter are
many men Of intelligence and patriot
ism, but they are not backed by like
intelligence and patriotism AMONG the
people. Without this support they can
do nothing. A programme of violence
will commend them to their constitu-
ents. A programme Of reform has no
charms for any one, and is not even
understood
Spain maintains the old and useless
luxuries Of her greater past. She must
keep standing army; she must ma.in-o
tain a powerful fleet; she must pre-,
serve at the cost Of ruin the pretenses
emitting her to rank as a first or. sec
ond-rate power. In the meantime the
cost of this is borne by the people, and
all the oppressive system and institu-
lions Of feudalism remain in force.
Privilege goes with power. Wealth at
the top is created from utter poverty
at the bottom. Ignorance rules every
where. The only possible future for
Spain would lie in the leveling of her
defenses. the crushing out of all class
distinctions, the abandonment of the
military and naval establishments. the
abolition of court grandeur and of off,
cial sinecures, the reduction of gov
eminent to its simplest principles and
the expenditure of the money thus
saved in the lowering of taxes. the
establishment of system of public ed
ucation and such aid as a state NAV
properly extend to it's subjects to give
them a start in life.
In word, decrepit and palsied Spain
would be revived no other wise than
by the transmission of blood from the
veins of true democratic system.
Her people do not understand that, and
are at present incapable of understand
ing it, They demand the socialistic
state, which would be to populace as
Ignorant and passionate as they the
exchange of present bondage for one
infinitely more hopeless and unen-
durable. In the conflict between these
ills and these extremes the outlook for

MORALS AND THE GAME.


Because there are still many OPP
ponents of the game of football, lovers
of the sport seem to think it neces-
sary, when they write concerning 1t, to
devote the greater part of their article
to explaining why football deserves to
be. An article on Football Morals"
published in the November number of
the, World To-Day, adopts no such
tone. On the contrary, the writer de-
clares that the growth of football in
this country in the last few years has
been so remarkable that it bids fair to
supplement baseball as the national
sport. And so, instead of apologizing
for the game, he considers in his arti-
Gle what can be done to nurture it, to
eradicate it's faults and to improve 1t
from the spectators point of view.
His suggestions are practicable and
timely, especially this one in regard to
the coach. CAS- great care should be
taken in the selection of coach, with
reference to his moral effect on the
Students" he says, "as with regard to
his ability to coach football" He adds
that the supervision of this part of the
sport should not get out of the hands
of a board of control made up, at least
in part, of representatives of the in
stitution." He ascribes the improve
ment in football in the larger Western
universities during the past ten years
to the adoption of this plan, but claims
that the personnel of the coaches in
some Of the smaller educational insti-
tutions of the West bids fair to hurt
the game. The value of the coach in
the minds of many people seems to de-
pend largely, he declares, on the num-
Der of men he is able to influence to
enter the Institution where he is en-
gagged.
Two suggestions for preserving the
moral standard of the football teams
are made in the article. One of these
is the building UP of a system of grad
uate coaches until the number of
graduates who are capable and able to
lend intelligent assistance in the
growth of football is such that profess
sional coaches will no longer be need
ed. The other is the enforcement of a
literal Interpretation of the rules "The
trouble in the past has been that a
general question has existed in the
minds not only Of the umpires but Of
the coaches themselves as to whether
the umpire should use his discretion in
many cases in the enforcement Of
rules" says the article. Some even
argue that if the rules were literally
enforced, there would scarcely be a
play completed without the umpire
blowing his whistle" But the writer
argues that if the players were taught
that an infringement of the rules was
as great fault as missing a tackle in
the open field, they would soon learn to
observe the rules as absolutely as they
are observed in other games.
The writer might have paid a de-
served tribute to the larger Western
universities for their successful eff
forts to make football a clean sport
and to rob it of all phases of rowdyism.
The West has no reason to complain
of the way the game is played here.
