the purpose OF uniting the men, on
both sides Of the Atlantic, who feel
the need Of strengthening the bonds
which exist today between the Latin

Another writer expresses the opinion
that recent events justify the conclu-
sion that the time Is ripe for this union.
The arbitration agreement he says,
between France and Italy Of the 2jth
OF December, 1909, and the Franco
Italian labor treaty are the preludes

LINCOLN OR BARNUM ?

Barnum, not Lincoln, is now said to
be the author Of the famous epigram:
"You can fool all the people some OF
the time and some OF the people all OF
the time, but not all the people all the
time" Representative Shook, at the
request of "A constituent, for informa-
ton, submitted the question Of author
ship TO the librarian OF Congress,
whereupon the assistant librarian, Mr..
spofford sent him a note, saying that
the sentence does not occur in any OF
Lincoln's writings, and that Mr.. Mich
clay, Llncoln's secretary, told him
(spofford) that they are spurious, Mr.,
spofford says Barnum was the author
of the popular sentence,
This, we confess, looks more reason
able, For Barnum, certainly had life
long experience In "fooling" people. and
he would be just the man to embody
his experience In some such epigram,
reminding one OF some Of the sayings
OF the wisest man who ever lived. Lin
coin, on the contrary, never tried to
fool" anybody,
II Is easy TO understand why stump
speakers should transfer the famous
saying to the lips OF Lincoln. As COM
ing from him It twas spler ID campaign
material As the philosophy Of Barnum
it had no particular weight In a polltl-
cal contest, And SO, some orator en-
deayored to fool all the people all the
time by substituting Lincoln for Bar
num--the prince Of presidents for the
prince Of fatirs.

snrlnRfield Republican.

President Eliot's attack upon college
football In his annual report cannot be
waved aside by the devotees OF the
sport because II comes from man who
has always been critical OF II. II Is
true that President Eliot over 20 years
ago began crlticlsing this game. and
for at least one season he banished
the intercollegiate contests from Har-
ward sports The serious point to COM
slider Is that he can now return to the
attack and find so much TO condemn,
with the hearty approval Of so many
people who have grown up with the
game, The time was when Il could be
said that people We're unused to the
sport, and easily gathered false i'm
presslons Of II. But nowadays the
novelty OF football has utterly dlsap-
peared, and the people are as familiar
with IL as they are with any sport In
the calendar of outdoor recreation and
entertainment The country Is full Of
men who played it In their schoOldays.
Why, then, does 1t fau 10 disarm the
criticism which seems TO have become
chronic and TO have lost none of It's
force? According TO present appear
ances, even the perpetuatlon of the
game seems sure to be accompanied by
a perpetual fault-nnding. 1t Is a pity
n a game having 80 many good and
robust qualities cannot be purged Of It's
most Objectionable features and finally
put into form that will leave 1t as
free from harsh criticism as the other
outdoor sports OF college students.
