American Athletics in Greece.

The team of 30 American athletes
who will compete in the Olympic
games in Athens is now on its way
across the ocean. and the best wishes
Of athletic America accompany them on
their journey. The team is large
one. and on paper looks 10 be very
strong. Probably it is not the strong
est that could be selected. for very few
of the leading athletic stars of the col
lege world are included. most of them
being kept here on account of their col
lege work and also to take part in the
intercollegiate field days later in the
spring. The ex-collegians and ath-
team are a formidable aggregation.

1t has become the regular order of

tional contests. and so our repre-
sentatives at Athens have whatever
prestige and also whatever embarrass-
ment there is in being looked upon in

April and in early May, and will be
watched with intense interest by all
lovers of sport throughout the world
They will take place in the great
stadium at Athens where the famous
Olympic games Of old We're revived a
decade ago. This great enclosure will
seat $4,000 spectators, and upon the
rocky hillsides beyond it 100000 more
spectators may find room. There will
| be contestants from every part of the
civilized world-runners, jumpers, dis
Gus throwers. shot putters. hurdlers.
vauiters. wrcstlers and swimmers. and
the contests for medals and glory will
be kcener than they have ever been
before in International games.
Although by no means the best body
or American athletes which could have
been selected. yet the 30 feet and
sturdy young American now embarked
upon the voyage to Greece are worthy

Spokane, Wash. Is one of the busiest
cities Of the great Northwest. but its
boon, in material growth does not pre-
vent its good citizens from. desiring
that 1t be a Beautiful as we'll as 4
growing city. Last Saturday was Ar
bor day in the state of Washington.
and was observed in Spokane as
Cleaning day as we'll. As a result of
an organized movement among the
school children hundreds Of piles of
rubbish had been collected from the
lawns, the vacant lots. the parks and
the roadsides and all such stuff was
burned as far as possible, and that
which could not be destroyed was
hauled far outside the city and
dumped. Over 1900 trees were also
planted beside the city streets and in
the parks. Spokane is setting good
example which many other cities
nigh. follow with profit.

Down in Connecticut they still cling
to Fast day. though we notice the Con-
necticut papers are inclined to poke
fun ct the elaborate proclamation
which Governor Roberts has just is
sued. naming Friday, April 49, as Fast
day. The governor declares in the
course Of his proclamation that "gener-
ation after generation in keeping this
fast upon the day which Is full Of hal
lowed memories has hallowed its OBJ
serv1ncc and deepened its religious
meaning. AS n matter of fact, it
has been long time since Fast day
was really observed in. Connecticut any
more than in the rest of New Eng
land. Massachusetts has wisely sub
stitutctf Patriots day. and for several
years here In Maine any extended or
appropriate observance of the day has
long since ceased. ~

The announcement Is made that
Robert Lincoln O'Brien. for many years
the Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Transcript, whose signature Of
Lincoln" is we'll known to all readers
Of that paper, is to be recalled from
the national capital to become editor
of the Transcript The present edi-
ter. Edward Fl. Clement who has filled
that position for over quarter of a
century. will remain with the paper
but will devote his efforts to it's liter
ary department. No paper in the
country maintains an editorial page of
greater literary excellence or one where
the characteristics of conscience and
courage are more continuously dis
played than the Transcript has main
tanned for generations. II is not to be
questioned that Mr.. O'Brien is amply
qualified for the new position to which
he Is assigned. We shall all mics his
excellent Washington letters, however
Tor there is no better correspondent
ct the capital than he has been.

Among other things which will hap
pen this month will be the final and
formal interment of the bones OF John
Paul Jones. Let us hope that they
will stay buried this time. They were
a long time finding a final resting
place but that at Annapolis is the most
titting one. John Paul Jones litera-
ture had great boom when his grave
was being sought for and finally dis
covered by Gen. Horace Porter in
Paris. and it will probably have anoth-
er revival in the magazines when the
ceremonies of the interment at An
napoiis are carried out. Over 5000 in
yitations have been issued by the navy
department. and everything will bt
done on an imposing scale. A French
squadron will most fittingiy be present
for the occasion '+ - -

Senator William p. Frye.

We publish on this page this morn
ing an article which will be of inter-
est to our readers Its theme is
United States Senator william P.
Frye, and 1t is one of a series Of arti-
cles which the Washington Post is
publishing upon the most prominent
men in our public life. 1t deals with
Senator Frye in a most appreciative
3nd interesting manner, not only as
regards his long and faithful public
service. but also as showing his splen-
did qualities of head and heart which
have so endeared him 10 the people of
his native State.
Senator Frye is unquestiOnably one
of the strongest and most influential
men among those who manage the
affairs of the nation at Washington
His long service in the Senate. over
which as Vice President Pro Tenn he
has presided longer than any other
ma n in the history of the country, has
made him one of the best known men
In the country and given him a power
in shaping national legislation such as
few other men possess. Ii is nearly
half a century now that William p.
Frye has been in public life, but at the
age of -, ne is in The prime of his
powers. and physically and intel
lectully is stronger than most men
are at the age of 60. No man has a
Cleaner record or has given his con-
stitu-nts greater reason 10 be proud Of
him.
After graduating from BOwdoin in
1850. he had the advantage Of study
ing law with that great son OF Maine,
William Pitt Fessenlen. and quickly
forged 10 the front as one of the most
bI illiant young members of the Maine
bar. In rapid succession he held the
g neral of Maine. presidential electOr
and for three terms represented
Lewiston in the Legislature. In 1871
he was first sent 10 Congress, and con
tinued member Of the. House until
1879. when he was elected senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Mr.. Blaine. AT the expir-
alton of each term he has been una nj =
mously chosen by the Republicans of
Maine as his own successor. and his
party and his State have been honOred
| in keeping him in the Senate.
every part of the country as one of the
most commanding figures in public
life of the day--a man who would have
Been in the presidential chair in place
OF Arthur had he not persistently re-
fused the nomination as Vice President
in l880-it is with the more intimate
affection of friendship and personal re-
srect that he is regarded by his fellow
citizens Of his State. They have
watched his distinguished career with
the greatest pride realizing thar, while
busy with the affairs of state, he never
has forgotten that he belongs tc Mains
land that he is one of her sons. His
heart is always here. and he is never
so happy as when back at home
among his old neighbors or enjoying
an outing or a fishing trip in ouI
northern wilderness We hope oul
readers will look over the article
copied from the Washington Post. for
it is written without prejudice of any
kind and shows Senator Frye as they
regard him at the national capital.
