The Late Local Unpleasantness.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 General Sambo Bowles," the Bard of Agawam,'' as the New York Sur calls him, has put away his song coat of feathers in which he has sung SC many fearful songs about our little brown savages in the Philippines and donned his famous bear-skin coat, and is now bowling in behalf of Yale sav- ages. Listen to his howl of woe:
 ''The somewhat. riotous Sunday epi sode at Pierson Hall began. as is well known, with the appearance in that Vi cinity of some young women not of the highest social standing, who are alleged to have stopped in front of the building to attract the attention of the stu dents. The young men hooted them from their windows
 Nonsense! Young gentlemen of YalG don't hoot at young women of any sta tion, whether they know them or not Neither can we accept the theory that perhaps some of these young gentlemen may possibly have met by accident some of these young ladies and in a moment of embryonic eXuberance pro duced by ''Yale spirit given these young ladies their addresses, for VIC know they do all they can to discour- age girls even looking at them. Girls who can compel young gentlemen of educati to assault policemen, hold uE street cars and steal signs are indeed worth careful study. We congratulate them and would humbly suggest that they ho engaged to give the faculty a few lessons.
 An, well, This episode of boyish pranks has been settled with equity and honor Many boys who are here in good faith to study have been con- demned by the large and just minds of the city authorities and Yale. The next time a clerk in one of our large department stores commits a like crime, we hope the proprietor, if he can't find the real culprit with the aid of our efficient police force, will punish all his clerks.

It will be noticed, then, that the only thing that has been added to the law since these statutes were passed in 1901 is that the amendments of 1903 and 1905 have made it one of the conditions of the sale that the seller shall file a no- tice of his intention to sell and the de- scription of the goods intended to be sold.-Public Acts 1903. Chapter 72; Public Acts of 1905. Chapter 211.
 The Supreme court of Connecticut had these statutes as originally passed up for interpretation in the case of Walp V. MoOar, 76 Conn.,, 517, and held the statutes constitutional, and that they did not apply to particular class, namely retail dealers, nor deprive such persons of their property without due process of law, and at page 521 of the opinion said the following: "A law un- form in it's operation is not rendered invalid merely because of the limited number of persons who will be affected by it. The act in question applies equally to all the people of the state who may engage in the business de- scribed. The limitation of the act to retail dealers is not an arbitrary classi- tication. The nature of fthe business described in the act is such as to fur. nish those conducting it opportunities of secretly selling their entire stock to the injury of those from whom they have purchased it on credit. The pur-. pose of the act is to prevent fraud, and it is of the same general character as our laws requiring assignments of fu- ture earnings and conditional sales to be in writing and recorded. It in no way interferes with the conduct of any retail business in the usual manner. It applies only to sales not made in the ordinary course of business, and im- poses no unreasonable burden upon the parties to sales of that character. The legislature has the undoubted power to adopt reasonable measures for regula- ting the sale of merchandise in this state so as to prevent fraud, and we think the act uder consideration is clearly within that power"
 This decision is of particular impor- tance at the present time, as the Court of Appeals of the State of New York has just decided a statute of that State

HONOR.

Though there seems, to be no doubt about, the freshness of the Freshman class. there does seem to be a mild doubt about the honor of the class. Perhaps it ought to nave been tested more thoroughly than it has been. Per- haps soon after the York street fun" the class should have been solemnly assembled and solemnly told that it had a chance to do itself proud, and
 also to do itself justice, by immediately handing over the boys who had the fun. Then the boys who had the fun could have stepped modestly and yet proudly forward and said they couldn't lie, and couldn't see the whole class be
 blamed for~the fun of few. Then the city authorities could have got the of- lenders and possibly have got the evil
 dence necessary to convict them. All would then have been well. and much could have been said about the Yale spirit which prompted even boys new
 to it to stand on the burning deck.
 But. however. The poet says: Can honors voice provoke the silent dust?'
 The answer of course is no. But ought not honor to be able to provoke Yale Freshman dust? We guess yes.

FOR INSTANCE.

You can read many things nowa- days. For instance, Thomas A. Edison says that the cigarette smoker is in- jured mentally, physically and moral- ly and often driven to active degen- eracy or madness by the acrolein in the ordinary cigarette. Acrolein is ''the aldehyde of allyl, produced by the oxidization of allyl alcohol, and itself rapidly oxidizing to acrylic acid"
 And also for instance, during the recent session of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association, held in Indian apolis, pr. William R. Fletcher of that city, nerve specialist of national rep mtation, elaborately defended the use of cigarettes, boldly declaring they are as harmless as tea or coffee, and that years of study and experience nave failed to reveal to him a single crim- inal act caused by the use of them. He declared that unreasonable preju- dice exists against them and that cigarettes have been made a scape- goat to cover up or expose some per sonal vice in the smoker. Other em- inent medical men at the convention indorsed his position.

FOOTBALL BRUTALITY.

When some moderately tender-heart-
 ed being has felt moved to say some
 thing about the brutality of football he has been more or less kindly told to shut up and assured that he couldn't possibly know anything about the game. He has also been told that gen. tlemen play the game, that training makes it impossible to get hurt, and that the players who have to fall know how to fall so as to escape injury and do themselves good Now there is an- other story, told by the Harvard Bull letin which surely ought to know
 The Bulletin openly protests against the brutality of football. The article is an answer to a Harvard coach, who in 8 newspaper interview said: There is nothing the matter with. football.'' The Bulletin, the students paper, says the coach is mistaken and goes on to specify it's objections with an authority that no layman can expect to equal Something, says the Bulletin, is the matter with game which grows more and more uninteresting every year; which takes the time and attention not only of the players, but also of the un- dergraduates as a body; until for weeks they talk and think about noth- ing but football; which requires the constant attendance of skilled sur geons, who conduct on the field what one of the most eminent has called "a hospital clinic;:' which injures men so that they are crippled for weeks and in some cases made permanently unfit for

athletic exercise. There is something
 wrong with such a game. It is the tes- .tim9ny of a well known surgeon who has coached football teams that the hu- man body is not fitted to endure the game as it is played in the American colleges. If one could see the straps
 about the ankles, the bandages on the
 knees, the harnesses on the shoulders,
 the padding all over the body, to say nothing of the headgear and nose
 guards, which he can see, and would then recOIlect that in spite of all these
 projections men are injured day after day so that they cannot play for weeks riff one could see and understand these
 things he would admit that the game was not the kind which boys ought to play.
 The Bulletin further declares that players are coached to violate the rules iof the game, with the proviso that they shall not get caught doing it, and adds that reinforcement of the rules, the
 suppression of publicity, will not cure the defects of football. There is some- thing radically wrong with the game. It ought to be substantially changed or abolished"
 F Now listen to the howl from those
 who are interested in suppressing such truth as the Bulletin gives out.

money.

The Germans have naval pro- gramme, as the other good nations have: At a recent meeting in Berlin of the Colonial Congress General von Liebert, delegate of the Navy League, read paper on the future of the Ger man Navy. When, he said, lon sea, as now on land, Germany has become a power which can command respect, then our watchword will be realized The twentieth century belongs to the Germans To further the realization of this watchword, General von Lie bert urged the necessity of multiplying battleships of 16,OO0 tons and over-a proposal which is to be a feature Of the Navy bill in the next session of the Reichstag. "G'srmany," said the dele gate of the Navy League, "far more than France needs to strengthen her navy so that it may be fit to cope with every other fleet except the British and even the British navy may hesi- tate to attack 1t. The way Great Brit ain trades on the weakness of the German navy is shown by the tone of section of the British press and by the British Morocco policy. There must be a change here so that German policy, supported by a strong navy, may at least compel respect"
 The programme, it appears, is to build a fleet as large, at least, as that of the United States or France. The British suspect a purpose of continuing to build until the Kaiser has feet inferior to none. The Kaiser isn't much of hand to play second fiddle.
