this new evidence that higher edu-

Hail, Girls of HilISidei

but IL has not been brought in sight
by the publication of fatality stats

NAMED for the girls of Mrs. Mead's
Hillside Seminary, at Norwalk. to
discover the kibosh and fit It, deli

game Truly, the means which an
inscrutable Providence adopts to
serve its ends are past guessing at.
The Hillside girls have done the
business. They began by organiz-
ing a bloomer football team which
practiced in private. out in the field
back of the barn at the home of
Miss Boyer, right end of the team.
The secrets Of signals and tackles
and end runs and mass plays and the
stiff arm that the referee viii not
notise were studied out by the girls.
They worked hard and trained dill
gently, and presently got to thinking
they knew something about the game.
The boys Of Overlook Military

the Hillside girls. There was in

International High Stakes.

Demonstrations" against Turkey
are as regular as the seasons. They
have been used for purposes of every
grade of diplomatic dignity. from
the enforcement OF an important
treaty to the collection of a bad debt
Ordinarily they prove effective at
the last moment before the firing Of
the gun
But a demonstration is now in
progress which has really an ON
inous look In the first place it has
its basis in the desire Of Christian
nations to protect Christians; and
that is a serious undertaking where
the oppressor is a Saracen. In the
second place, the protection involves
a supervision of the Sultan's purse
in Macedonia; and that is a trouble
making demand anywhere. Finally.
the Christian nations are denied the
cooperation of Bishop HohenzolIern,
admiral Of the German feet, and
Kaiser OF the German empire; and
that is a sinister circumstance in
deed.
William II has played for Turkeys
favor long and skillfully. He has a
railroad to Bagdad. which needs the
Sultan's semaphores to make it pay.
He has a general desire to confuse
the calculations OF his uncle, the
King Of England, and his bosom
friend, the French foreign minister.
Either of these considerations might
move him to stand with Turkey,
where the issue was not serious.
There is a third consideration, how
ever, so important that it might
persuade him to join forces with the
Blussulman even If the issue were
serious-it is his predominance in
Continental politics.
For one or all Of these reasons his
ships have taken no active part in
the present demonstration For
one or all of these reasons he has
been willing TO see all the ENJOYS
at the porte discredited, including his
own. For one or all of these reasons
he is willing to imperil the only force
which can keep this thick-sheIled
bad egg even part way true 10 his
/ responsibilities
Is the game worth the candle? EN-
1 peror William is hardly waiting for
any American newspaper TO tell him.
But there is light from Paris on the
subject, and It may shine as far as
Berlin. II IS reflected in this news

Gus smaller runs and rivulets, will
boil and sputter Suntil either it sub
sides under the weight Of the old
sediment or is filtered int clear
stream
Today two derelicts bob up dan
gerously. The one Is a menace to all
honest navigators: the control of
the primaries by the dfscredited Quay
machine. The other is an affront
TO the self-respect OF the whole State:
a projected monument TO be set I'D
at once" in the capitol grounds 10
the memory of the States chief cor
ruptionist.
Perhaps Quay's friends feared some
such revolt against his machine At
any rate when his legislature con-
sidered a bill to honor his dishonor
it provided for a commission which
should proceed at once" and pro
cure said statue and cause the same
TO be erected upon said capitol
grounds" Measures of somewhat
similar character pended at the time
looking to the recognition Of the ser
vices performed by two Keystone
soldiers, John F. Hartranft and Win
field Scott Hancock. Itwas suggested by
the governor, however, and accepted
by the legislature that monuments
TO Hartranft and Hancock may we'll
bide their time because the appro-
priations have much exceeded the
revenues" If there IS any more
delicate bit of legislative irony in
American history than that it has
not recently been noted.
The decent newspapers are. of
course. seeking TO defeat the Quay
statue project. even with the law as
il is But it is hard to see how they
can succeed. II that monument is
erected in spite Of the excess of the
expenditures over the revenues, the
State viii have to submit 20 it as
feature Of its punishment for
twenty years Of criminal indifference.
AS for the primaries, the situation
illustrates conclusively the need for
continued fighting. It is estimated
that the straight organization vote
IN Philadelphia this month was about
90 900. The number of Republicans
who stood with the City party is
given as about $4,000 From which
showing ii would seem that the ma
chine might very well control he me
primaries. even 10 the point of ex-
Guiding the "deserters." As ba=
10 this proceeding, certain friends OF
the City party are urging that il
was exclusively an organization OF
Republicans. That is a mighty pre-
carious position for reformers.
Il would seem good government
might be served without this con-
test. Let the organization" control
the primaries if it elects to do 50
by rejecting decent Republicans. The
City party would get new strength
by that operation and the issue be-
tween honest men and graft could
then be kept clear. But if it should
appear that the machine support does
outnumber that of good government
why. then, here is another item IN the
States punishment.
