struggle for life they had just witnessed.

a LATTER-DAY HERO.

IF THERE Is ANYBODY in the world
i your college boy would rather be
Just about now than +. r. Dewitt, he
is not a true college boy. He is not en-
titled TO place in the 'rah 'rah ranks,
but should take his crocheting back be-
hind the kitchen stove and sit down.
Who is J. r. Dewitt? Is it possible
that you haven't heard about him?
Shame on youl Go away to some Sc
cluded spot and sit down yourself.
Why, Dewitt is the hero OF the hour.
Wherever two or more college boys are
gathered together. If they talk as much
as five minutes, they are sure to bring
up the name Of Dewitt No he hasn't
saved-the lives Of a hundred people, he
hasn't prevented a disastrous train
wreck; he hasn't calmly stuck to his
post in the pilot house for the purpose
of "holdin' her nose agin the bank till
the last galoots ashore" Nothing Of
that kind at all, at all Dewitt is the
chap who won the football game for
Princeton against Yale.
Ten other Princeton players were in
the game, but Dewitt was the man
who won it. just the same. First he
gathered the ball in his arms and ran
eighty yards for a touchdown. Then
he kicked a goal from the field, a long.
hard, difficult goal, when only minute
or two Of play remained. OF the eleven
points scored by Princeton, we are told
that Dewitt made ten. Just how the
eleventh got away from him we are
unable TO say, but we are sorry even
one escaped. It is a pity that a record
so enviable in every other respect
should be thus marred.
still we would pluck not a leaf from
the laurel crown that has been placed
on the head Of the mighty Dewitt by
his admirers. The Herald is one %
them He has written his name 50 high
in the football history of his university
that practically none of his fellows,
present or to come, can ever hope to
find a place for their own names beside
it. We don't know how Dewitt stands
in his classes; for that matter, we don't
much care. He has covered himself
and his college with glory and sufficient
unto the day is the good, as well as
the evil.
Five years from now the name of J.
r. Dewitt may be unknown outside a
radius Of. say thirty miles from Prince
ton. And, by the same token, the name
of some poor devil of a grind who never
thought enough of football to leave his
studies for it, may be on the lips OF
every American. But just for today, at
least, let US take OF our hats to De-
Witt. the man with the brainy leg. Let
us render unto Dewitt the things that
are DeWitts. for in due season we shall
be in duty bound to forget him in order

DrseRAolne THsis UNIFORM.

i SHOULD BE POSSIBLE to ascer-
tain the identity Of the soldiers
from Fort Douglas who gave whisky
enough to two small boys on Thursday
night to make the boys intoxicated.
And. having found who the men are.
they should be dismissed in disgrace
from the army. besides being punished
under the law which prohibits the Civ
ing or selling Of int0xicants to a minor.
1t is hard to imagine a more despica-
BILE orense than the one of which the
soldiers were guilty
According to the statement of the
boys, they We're given all the whisky
they could drink That is. they be-
came intoxicated almost to the point
Of insensibility. Naturally. they made
disgracefuI spectacles Of themselves
They were blameable. Of course, for
drinking the whisky, but they were not
as much to blame as the scoundrels who
gave it to them The United States
army cannot afford to have such men
in its ranks.
It is easy in the light of such a cir
cumstance to believe the statement re-
Gently made by an officer of high rank
to the effect that the present enlist
ments are mainly Of an undesirable
character. This officer said that the
better class Of men stay out Of the reg
ulars because they can earn more
money in other lines. We do not be-
lieve that a majority Of the rank and
file Of the army is made up OF petty
criminals, the odscouriDgs Of red light
districts and gathering places for in
dividuals in the shadow Of the law.
But beyond question a certain per-
centage is composed Of just such men
Fortunately for the honor of the nation
and the army it is a small percentage
but it is large enough to bring the en-

it is quickly eliminated The time to
begin is now, and the men with whom
to begin are the men who furnished the

AN END AND A BEGINNING.

7 EFT Us TRY TO FORGET Peter Nor
i Jensen. He was a murderer. He
has paid the penalty. The old Mosaic
law, Whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be she'd" has been
carried out to the last Of it's letter and
spirit. And, having paid the penalty
Peter MOrtensen is at least entitled to
the poor blessing Of oblivion. His fate
was a thousand-foId more fearful than
the fate Of the man whose blood he
shed; of his punishment in the world
to which he has gone, if there is a world
to which the dead go, no man can do
aught but surmise.
Why was the fate of Mortensen more
fearful than the fate of his victim? Be
cause ne died a thousand deaths while
James r. Hay died but one; because he
had before him day after day, week
after week, month after month a vision
Of the firing squad; he had the haunt
ing knowledge that sooner or later his
end must come I'm fgnominy. oppro-
brium. disgrace. James r. Hay at least
left no lasting heritage Of dishonOr TO
his children; he died with his name un-
furnished, his character unimpeached.
and this win be to them a priceless
legacy forever.
To the children Of Peter Mortensen
what can be said in point of comfort?
Through life they must carry a dis
honored name. An inexorable, I'M
changeabIe law viii visit the iniquity of
Peter Mortensen upon his children and
his children's children, even unto the
third and fourth generations" God
knows these children have done no
harm ore is a tiny babe that has
never seen the face of its father, the
rest have seen but a few years, at most,
Of life. But they win suffer as long
as they live for the sin of their father
and their fathers other relatives viii
suffer until the grave closes over them.
Therefore. let us try TO forget Peter
Mortensen: let us blot out the memory
of his crime and it's expiation as we
would blot out a plague spot in the
citv's center. This for the sake of his
children and his children's children who
must suffer. however much we try to
shield them. They viii never be able
to FORGET their fathers end, but they
can be made to.believe that others have
forgotten it, and in time the wounds
that now cape wide in their breasts
for all the world to see win be but
ragged scars Of which only they have
knowledge

THE Panama TREATY.

TT IS ANNOUNCED from Washington
1 that the Panama canal treaty viii
be ratified at Panama some time be-
tween Dec. e and Dec. 10. The further
announcement is made that the terms
of the treaty viii be practically the
same as those offered Colombia in the
Hay Herran treaty. This means that
we win be permitted to pay the French
lobbyists and their co-conspirators $40
O0O.O00 for the good viii of a defunct
corporation besides paying a round
sum every year TO the republic Of Pan
anna for the privilege of digging and
operating the trans-isthmian canal
Really, we can hardly see the ne
cessity for paying ont any money at
all TO the lobbyists or TO Panama. If
ct had not been for the United States,
there would have been no republic Of
Panama. Surely the Panamans them
selves can see this. and surely the
Roosevelt administration can see it. IL
it was right to practically steal a part
az friendly republic for canal pur-
noses. why is IT not right to carry the
steal to its legitimate conclusion What
IS the use in making right Of might, If
right is not to profit by might?

elusion that the whole nasty Panama
