Whose money did he take? That of the
American public? Just how and in what
quantity? He received, according to the
official report, some $4,000 as his profit
from the corrupt bargain whereby he fur

formation of the governments crop fig

came from the brokers'. Who furnished it
to the brokers'? Presumably the specu-

into that market to gamble on the cotton
prices, not legitimate buyers of cotton
not manufacturers. nor dealers. but the

Japan's occupation of the Island of SAX
hahn anticipates in a striking manner the
demand which the mikados ENJOYS at the
peace conference are expected to make for
the return of that island to the Japanese
sovereignty. Possession is a powerful fac
tor In the shaping of peace terms Thus
there is today no doubt whatever in the
mind Of the world that Japan will emerge
from the conference undisputed possessor
OF Port Arthur. chiefly because that point
was captured by Japan after a terrific con-
test. Just so it Is the average expectation
that by the peace terms Russia will be ex-

Future of the College Athlete.
From the New York Mail.


The college athlete Is now in our midst"
What Is he fit for. now that we have him?
The college athlete. when he goes out and
looks for something to do, is no longer liv-
ing in the same world that he lived in for
four years at college. He is no more a
hero No team manager looks after his
entertainment and pays his bill. His name
does not get into papers. The men with
the gray side whiskers that he asks for en-
ployment have never heard of him or his
team. 1t is no wonder that the college
athlete finds the temptation strong upon
him to go into professional sports IN one
way or another There his accomplish
ments are of some account. But If he Is
good athlete he has learned at least one
thing that will stand him In good stead.
and that is to take with good grace
pretty thorough defeat and try again.
