SLY 10 NOTHING.

If Harvard is going to stop playing football perhaps now is as good a time as any to do it. Perhaps she came as near holding her own with Yale Saturday as she ever will, and it seems hardly worth while for her to try, try, try again. She tried very hard Satur- day, and really surprised some folks. But if the Yale team was at all sur- prised at first it didn't stay surpris" ed. Yale's attack in the second half is said to be the fercest ever seen on a football field, and she has made some fierce attacks before. It did the bus mess, and if it discouraged President Eliot as much as it did his young men football at Harvard will soon be but a sad and bitter memory.
 There is no talk of stopping foot ball at Yale, and the general opinion seems to be that there is no reason for any.

4 BURNING QUESTION.

One of the interesting and important
 contests in Congress- this winter will be that over the re-establishment of the canteen, and the legalizing of the sale of light wines and beer at the commissary stores at the various naval stations of the country. Medical h. spector E. H. Green, stationed at the Brooklyn naval station, has made rec ommendation to the Secretary of the Navy in relation to the matter, in which he pertinently states that alco- holism among the sailors at the Yard would be greatly lessened if beer and light wines were permitted to be sold at the station. He has had quantities of cases of alcoholism to treat among the sailors, and is firmly convinced that if existing conditions were chang

SOME DEFINITIONS.

There will have to be new diction- ary by and by, or, at least, an addition to the old ones. The word graft" is getting itself defined with more or less accuracy and conciseness. Not long ago a Texas judge made an excellent definition of ''goo-goo eyes," And i'll a Reading (Pennsylvania) court a few days ago the word "rake-off' received a judicial interpretation that gives 1t added dignity. Two men were asking for new trial after being convicted oI criminally libeling a former county comptroller. Some months ago, while John F. Ancona, who was filling the office of county comptroller, was a can- didate for office, the two defendants printed the statement that MT. Ancona had received a "rake-off'' in a certain case. In passing on the evidence Judge Endlich said that "a search of the stan- dard dictionaries does not disclose the phrase as a recognized part of the Eng fish language. The court finds, how ever, that the phrase has gained cur- rency in popular speech, and, in it's opinion, means going over an object with rake and gathering up the ma terial which adheres.'" This was ad- judged to mean, in the utterance con1- plained of, that the county comptroller went over certain fund and fraudu- lently scraped in $420.
 The more good words and good defi- nitions the better. It is very interest ing to see language grow and expand.

ed such cases would be rare, if not altogether non-existent.
 Surgeon Green, with other Army and Navy officers, is of the firm belief that the abolishing by the government of the canteen has led to the large per centage of drunkenness among the sol- diers. and is the direct cause of the many assertions from Army posts which have been the cause of so much disquiet to the department during the past year or so. It is the general con sensus of opinion among Army officers of all ranks, from the commissioned to the non-commissioned, that the Amer ican soldier can be made a better man, morally and physically, if permitted the same privileges accorded a man in his own home, namely, the use of beer or light wines, if he so desires. If the soldier cannot get these beverages at the canteen, he is bound to seek else where for liquor, and when he finds it outside of post boundaries, 1t is pretty certain to be the cheapest, vilest stuff possible. the use of which is destruct- i've to both health and morals.
 Meanwhile the W. c. T. U. and oth- CTS who are perhaps intemperately temperate are busy, and their voices will be raised against the canteen. And their voices will be heard too.

He wasn't up on class room rules, but had the gridiron's down, And little bunch of rah rahs in his throat He wore a little dinky cap, so iaunty and so neat, You could hear his gaudy sweater as he sauntered down the street, And likewise hear the rainbows that he wore upon his feat And the little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. In all athletic branches he essayed to With his little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. He'd sure have made the Ieven had he not been such a runt, With his little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. But he never missed a foot ball game, and my, how he could root! He had a hore, megaphone, cow bell and. to .boot. That little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. Where'er he went the people knew he was a college boy By the little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. It made his heart exultant bound in mad, unbridled joy That little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. To run a team without his aid the coaches dare not try. He reused the brave eleven when he gave his fiendish cry, But in the class room not an answer ever did get by That little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. You'd think the cigarettes and pipes he smoked would suffocate The little bunch of rah rahs in his throat. But such an end was not to be. though quite as sad a fate Oertook the bunch of rah rahs in his throat. Twas just before Thanksgiving day the great misfortune came, He caught a cold and grew so hoarse he scarce could speak his name; Oh, wasn't that an awful. thing, to sit clear through the game Without a single rah rah in his throat?

ONE OF HE PROBLEMS.

Laws don't always work as they are expected to. So Secretary Taft will, it is said, ask for the repeal of the law, passed at the last session of congress, extending the coastwise laws to the Philippines archipelago. This law has not gone into effect yet, becoming oper- ative on July 1, 1906, but it has raised a scare among the friends of the young dependency. The law was passed in the hope of encouraging American ship building. It was thought that if the carrying trade between the islands and this country were restricted to Ameri- can vessels it would have the effect of inducing the Shipbuilding trust to con- struct number of new ships. But it didn't have this effect, and the result is that if the law goes into effect it will practically isolate the Atlantic States from the Philippines. It is asserted at the War department that there is not a single American ship available for car rying supplies to the Philippines from New York. The situation on the Paci- fic is not so bad. A number of vessels flying the Stars and Stripes are regu- larly engaged in trade between the islands and Seattle, Portland and San
 Francisco. But it is declared that the
 Philippines would be badly crippled by
 this arrangement. More goods are shipped from the islands to this coun- try than go east from the United States.
 On account of the scarcity of available vessels after July i it is asserted that the great bulk of Philippine trade will be diverted to other countries. Secre-
 tary Taft wants the operation of this
 law postponed until 19O9
 Of course Secretary Taft ought to have what he wants in this matter, but it is already evident that he isn't going ] to get it without opposition, if he gets | it at all.

 Allen Hagen figures in a peculiar sit nation which has just developed rela- tive to the Canadian alien labor act. He was engaged by the city counsel of Guelph, Ontario, to report on the water works problem there, and a member of the board of aldermen has asked the deputy minister of labor to have MT, Hazen deported when he reaches the Canadian border on the ground that his coming is contrary to the alien labor act. It is not at all like that the min ister of labor will take such action, for obviously it is not the intent of the law to exclude a person who comes by in- vitation to give professional advice.
