full of young men take too much
and too violent exercise, hundreds
or thousands take little or none at
all. A few develop big muscles and
bad hearts. The great majority,
content with narrow shoulders and
fiabby biceps, show their interest in
physical culture by yelling strenu-
ously at football and baseball
games. The principal aim of col
lege athletic departments at present
is to develope-a few men who can
break records and win games. Their
principal aim ought to be to secure
the uudoubted benefits of moderate
exercise to the entire student body.

The old soldiers who Ihave Just

The old soldiers who have just
been marching will appreciate this
beautiful tribute to the veterans,
composed by George w. Peck: ''The
old soldier grows tired as-the years
increase, and ; he hears only in
dreams the roll of drums and noise
of battle. His loves his ease in the
quiet afternoon and feels, as he did
once, how sweet nare the mlnistra-
tions of sleep. death need not
come to seek him, for half way up
the slope the veteran is marching.

still resolutely and bravely as be-
comes one who is not afraid to meet
whatever foe may come. And lo!
Death carries neither dance nor
spear, but only the welcoming en-
blem of white, which is the sign of
everlasting truce. 1t must be sweet
to know that the battle is over for
ever. It must be pleasant to sleep
in the imercy of Him who hath
made it the balm of hurt minds. ;
To them the hour will come and
the repose that awaits the resurrec-
ton and theslife."

No Weather There.

man, land | pledge you my word that
not once in all that time didI hear
one single person make any reference
to the weather. You can judge what
relief it was. Here and elsewhere
the weather is a constant topic.
"Was nothing said when it was hot
or cold or stormy?" was asked.
"Not word-nit the slightest hint.
No matter whether it was pouring rain
or the sun was shining, nobody spoke

Japanese trench on the weather was
when my valet one day asked me for

Though the senate has rejected
the bill to appropriate $4,000 for
the attorneys that appeared for
Gov. LaFollette and his associate
candidates in the state ticket case,
it is not The purpose of the ad-
ministration to cease its efforts to
saddle it's lawyers fees onto the
taxpayers of the state. The objec-
ton to the bill is entirely to the
method with which it is proposed
to pay the attorneys. The tax
payers did not hire them. They
were not attorneys for the people.
They had no appointment to serve
as assistants to the attorney general.
They were intruders, Quitting inn
to represent the candidates. The
candidates, then, should pay them.
If Gov. LaFollette's groceryman
should come to the legislature with
a bill to appropriate money to pay
for groceries supplied to the ex-
cutive mansion, it might be argued
that they were supplied to the peo-
pie, in that they sustained the
governor in his fight for the people
against the corporations, yet it
would hardly be held to be proper
ly a charge against the state.
Messrs. Barnes and Bashford are
entitled to the money that is due
them. but in appealing to the
legislature, they have gotten into
the wrong pew.

SILENT PATRIOTISM.

American and English war cor
respondents of the theatrical mutu-
al admiration type never tire of
abusing Japan for refusing to let
them ''go to the front" Mean
while the working correspondents
who do not pose before MIRRORS to
the blare of brass hands seem to
have had no difficulty in getting all
proper and necessary news at the
right time.
Sober and disinterested experts
have recognized from the beginning
that large part of Japan's success
was due to her refusal to let the
newspapers Of the world expose and
discuss her plans before they were
carried out. The result of the
naval battle makes this palmer than
ever. So complete and successful
was the Japanese censorship that,
while Togo's scouts Swallowed Ro-
jestvensky from the Milaccan to
the Korean straits, neither Rojest-
vensky nor anyone else outside of
Japan knew where Togo was until
his guns told everybody at once.l
Could any other nation on earth
keep it's council like this9 No other
nation ever has done SO. Here is
another lesson for the whole world
to learn from Japan. Kitchener
managed correspondents pretty
well in the Soudan, though there
was no fear that they would tell
anything to the enemy. But in
1870 the Germans learned of orders
to French troops from the Paris pa
pers. In the Crmean war English
and French papers first advised the
Russians of the concentration to at
tack Sebastopol. Even in the
Peninsular war Wellington COM
planned that the London papers be-
trayed his movements to the
French.
We have plenty of noisy patriot
ism in the United States. Newspa-
pers are willing to tell how much
they love their country in huge
type and red ink. But how many
of them would be willing in crisis
of national existence, to testify to
their patriotism by modest and un-
profitable silence. The silent patriot
ism of Japan in.this war is the fin
est spectacle the world ihas seen of
self restraint and complete absorb
ton in the national service. When
forty millions of people Ccau con-
spire to keep state secrets, the state
is well loved and we'll served.

MISDIRECTED COLLEGE ATHLET
les.

President James, of the University
OF Illinois, in condemning the pre-
valent system of college athletics
but repeats in different words and
with added weight what other
critics have been saying for years.
In the old English grammar school
all the students took part in athlet-
les. They still do in many Ameri-
can public schools. In the schools
OF the towns, especially, everybody
gets out and plays rough, healthy,
games during recesses. In colleges
and universities, on the other hand.
athletics have been given over al
most entirely to select groups of
young men who train throughout
the year with all the energy and
and assiduity of professional ;wrest-
4ers' or prize fighters.
1t would naturally be presumed
that the devotion of so much time
and energy to developing the ply
slque would interfere with the
prime end Of student life, the de-
veloping of the mind, and, aslPresi-
dent James points out, it does have
this effect. Few athletic stars win
'honors for scholarship to college or
rise to intellectual eminence after
leaving it. They injure their bodies
as well as their minds. EVERYBODY
is aware of the baneful effects of
excessive mental exertion. It needs
to be recognized that excessive
physical exertion may cause results
equally harmful. President James
points out for example, that almost
all the crack tennis players have
had heart disease, and that manv
of them have died of it between 40
and 40 years of age.
The worst phase of the present
system OF college athletics, however.
is its relation to, land the pernicious
effects it produces upon, the stud
ent body as whole. While a hand

ROUCH-AND-READY FIGHTER
Rangers Of the Southwest Who Are
Chosen for Their Skill with
Horse and Gun.

The Arizona rangers were organized
IN 1901, to furnish strong police arm
to the territorial government. Since
this efficient body of ough-and- ready
lighting men has taken the field there
has been most remarkable ! better
ment in conditions. Organized bands
Of cattle rustlers then existed and
made fat living of the legitimate cat
tlemen. The county law officers were
unable to cope with these daring mar
auders.
The territory Of Arizona has twice
the area Of New York state and less
than half the population Of Newark, N.
j., SO there is plenty of room for the
desperate to swing. But the ranger is
so named because he, too, knows the
ranges. The rangers usually work to-
gether in squads of two or three, and
as there are only rs of them it means
that they are widely scattered, but
they keep in close touch with the Office
of Gov. Brodie, with whom they file a
weekly report showing just what they
are doing.
The men are selected from hundreds
Of competitors, after undergoing thor
ough tests to determine their ability as
horsemen and their skill in roping
trailing and shooting. Capt. Rynning,
of Douglas, is at the head of the ran
gers.
The individual members Of the COM
pany are not known to the public. The
original company was once lined up
and photographed, but since then the
wisdom of keeping the individuality of
the men secret has been learned. This
element of secrecy more than doubles
the effectiveness of force, for no gang
Of outlaws can now be brought to-
gether without the risk of including a
ranger who will upset all the wicked
plans at the right moment.
This little band of men made 453 ar
rests during the year ending June 80.
1904. Five Of these were murderers and
155 had committed felonies. In taking
this number of men it is highly to the
credit OF the company that only one OF
the bad men was killed. That does not
read like border tale, but it shows
how carefully the rangers work.
One thing which makes every Arr
conan proud Of the rangers is the i'm
portant fact that there has not been a
train robbery or lynching since the
rangers were organized.
The most interesting facts about this
little company are to be gathered from
Capt. Rynning's report, which shows
that on the average each man rides 800
miles a month, or total for the entire
force of 10, 40 miles. The rangers have
worked in conjunction with the live
stock sanitary board and the Arizona
Cattle Growers association, and they
have restored hundreds of lost cattle,
sheep and goats. Smugglers. Chinese
