Confusion worse confounded" reigns at
Pennsylvania. 1t is universally admitted
that no college in the country has expert
enced the hard luck that has befallen the
Quakers. Not week has passed since the
preliminary season began without record
ing one or more losses from the varsity
squad. -Four men have been lost through
broken bones In Weede, left end: Hollen-
back, halfback; Takaki, end, and Gibbons
halfback Two men have been debarred by
the faculty. These are Capt. Reynolds
left halfback. and Draper. left guard Two
more have been lost through Illness These
were Sinkler. right end, and Ziegler, right
guard.
The Quakers would have hoped to get
through successful season but for the
last two losses, which were Z.egler and
Draper. the two giant guards. and who were
counted upon to do the bulk of PENIS line
smashing After Ziegler was removed by
typhoid Draper was moved over from tackle
to guard. This week Capt Torrey was in
structed by the faculty not to play Draper,
it being said that he is ineligible on ae-
count of having played once at Swarth-
more College. With Draper out of the
game Lamson is the only forward Penn has
who is capable OF carrying the ball through
the line There Is not another line man who
can do this service, and the light backs will

The loss of so many veterans has seriously
handicapped the red and blue for the game
with Harvard ON november IL. Although
the chances favored a Pennsylvania VIC
tory four weeks ago. everything now has
crimson outlook, and the Quakers will con-

down. Should Pennsylvania win fats game

Conclusion.

Suitable provision should be made
for the expense of keeping Il dip
lomatic officers more fully informed
Of what is being done from day to
day in progress of our diplomatic
affairs with other countries. The
lack Of such information, caused by
insufficient appropriations available
for cable tolls and for clerical and
messenger service, frequently puts our
officers at a great disadvantage and
detracts from their usefulness. The
salary list should be readjusted. It
does not now correspond either to
the Importance Of the service to be
rendered and the degrees Of ability
and experience required i'll the diff
ferent positions, or 10 the differences
in the cost Of living. In many cases
the salaries are quite inadequate.

Of course the only complete remedy
for this condition must be found in
an aroused public conscience, a higher
sense of ethical conduct in the COM
munlty at large, and especially among
business men and in the great pro-
fession Of the law, and in the growth
Of a spirit which condemns all dis
honesty, Whether i'll rich man Oh in
poor man, whether it takes the shape
Of bribery OF Of blackmail, But much
can be done by legislation which is
not only drastic but practical.
The Revenues.
There is more need of stability
than Of the attempt to attain an ideal
perfection in the methods Of raising
revenue; and the shock and strain to
the business world certain to attend
any serious change in these methods
render such change inadvisable unless
for grave reason. 1t is not possible
to lay down any general rule by
which to determine the moment when
the reasons for will outweigh those
against such a change. Much must
depend, not merely on the needs, but
on the desires, Of the people as a
whole; for needs and desires are not
necessarily identical. OF course no
change can be made on lines beneti-
cial to, or desired by, one section
or one State only. There must be
something like a general agreement
among the citizens Of the several
States, as represented in the Con-
gress, that the change is needed and
desired in the interest of the people as
a whole; and there should then be
a sincere, intelligent, and disinter-
ested effort to make it in such shape
as will combine, so far as possible,
the maximum of good to the people
at large with the minimum of neces-
sary diregard for the special interests
of localities or classes. But in time Of
peace the revenue must on the av-
erage, taking a series of years to-
%ether, equal the expenditures OF else
the revenues must be increased. Last
year there was a deficit. Unless our
expenditures can be kept within the
revenues then II revenue laws must
be adjusted.

The great insurance companies af-

far beyond the jurisdiction of the

question, to see whether it is not DOS
slble to furnish better safeguards than

furnish against corruption of the
fragrant kind which has been exposed.
1t has been only TOO clearly shown
that certain of the men at the head
of these large corporations take but
small note of the ethical distinction
between honesty and dishonesty; thew
draw the line only this side of what
may be called law-honesty, the kind
OF honesty necessary In order to avoid

provision that Congress shall be the

strongly against all forms of corrup-

ing tendency to increase expenses in
connection with the conduct of po-
litical campaigns. Briefly, he ad-
vocates the greatest possible purity
of the ballot and the fullest free
dom of the exercise of the elective

The Department of GSate.

I recommend more adequate pro-
vision than has been made hereto
fore for the work of the Depart
ment of State. Within a few years
there has been a very great increase
in the amount and Importance Of the
work to be, done by that Department,
both in Washington and abroad. This
has been caused by the great in
crease of our foreign trade, the in
crease Of wealth among our people,
which enables them to travel more
generally than heretofore, the in
crease Of American capital which is
seeking investment in foreign coun-
tries, and the growth of our power

Recent developments have given new

ance. The Ubiquitous methods by

The Civil Service.

The civil service law has been on
the statute books for twenty-five
years. Every President and & vast
majority of heads of departments
who have been in office during that
period have favored a gradual e1-
tension Of the merit system. The
more thoroughly its principles have
been understood, the greater has
been the favor with which the law has
been regarded by Administrative" Of
officers. Amy attempt to carry on the
great executive departments of the
Government without this law would
inevitably result in chaos. The Civil
Service Commissioners ace doing eN>
ccilent work; and their compensa-
ton is inadequate considering the
service they perform.

The danger is now exactly the reverse.

Army and Navy.
We cannot consider the question of
our foreign policy without at the
same time treating of the Army and
the Navy. We now have a very
small army-indeed, one well-nigh
infinitesimal when compared with the
army of any other large nation. Of
course the Army we do have should
be as nearly perfect of its kind and
for its size as possible. [ do not be
lieve that any army in the world has
a better average Of enlisted nan OF
a better type of junior officer; but
the Army should be trained to act
effectively in a mass. Provision
should be made by sufficient appro-
priations foi maneuvers of a practi-
cal kind SO that the troops may learn
how to take care of themselves under
actual service conditions: every march
for instance, being made with the
soldier loaded exactly as he would
be in active campaign. The generals
and colonies would thereby have OPP
portunity of handling regiments,
brieades, and divisions, and the COM
misary and medical departments
would be tested in the field. Provis-
ion should be made for the exercise
at least of a brigade and by preefr-
enc of a division iii marching and
embarking at some point and continue
ing its march. The number of posts
in which the Army is kept in time of
peace should be naturally diminished
and the posts that are left made cor
respondingly larger. No local inter
ests should be allowed to stand in
the way of assembling the greater
part Of the troops which would at
need form our field armies in stations
of such size as will permit the best
training to be given to the personnel
CT all grades, including the high Off
GERS and staff officers. 70 accom-
plish this end we must have not COM
pany or regimental garrisons, btu
brigade and division e~arrisons.
