a pass II 10 time to call a halt Col
lege and academy sports should be con-
Quoted In sportsmanlike manner. A
victory won by fraud or trickery should
be made so unpopular that the man
or team winning 1t should be forced in
award. The only way to bring this
about Is for those who believe in fair
play to insist upon 1t at all times If
every high-minded youth who finds his
associates playing unfairly should re-
fuse to take part until the unfalrness
Is eliminated, the reform would soon
be secured. There are already encour-
aging signs that the high-minded stu
dents are asserting themselves. Those
In large academy in New York have
set an example by deciding to play no
more games with other schools. They
wish other schools to discontinue the
game, and thus cut off the supply Of
material for the colleges, and thereby
force them to amend the rules radical
ly. The idea is good one, and is to
be heartily commended. 1t Is impera-
tive that the young men who are to
lead the nation in the future should
not have their moral standards broken
down while in college by the practice
of the theory that anything is fair to
win. Ones self-respect is always too
high price to pay for victory.

The friends Of vigorous outdoor sport
have long been pleading for the rescue
Of football from the blight Of unfair
play which causes nine-tenths of all
the physical injuries and all the de-
moralization Of the players. Slug
cling" is contrary to the rules, the hir-
ing Of outsiders to play in college and
academy teams is forbidden, and va
rious other things are condemned. Yet
in spite of the rules, the conduct of
many players and their trainers sug-
gests that they deem it more important
to win a game than to play fairly
The decentralization has progressed so
far that college presidents have be-
gun to protest against the practice of
teaching the players how to violate the
rules Of the game without being found
out. When matters have reached such

One Of the tests of philosophical
soul is the reasonableness with which
1t sloughs off old beliefs, and sees
treasured doctrines die without losing
faith In the whole scheme of things. A
Lady recently complained against at
tacks on her favorite patent medicines,
her favorite financiers and her favor
lite character In history all in the same
magazine. She humorously protested
that she had been thrown into a state
of universal skeptlcism. The wise per-
son will not lose sleep or stop going to
circuses simply because the real mer-
maid" turns out to be made of shoe
leather The person who makes up his
mind too resolutely never to be fooled
again will miss a great deal of intel
lectual serenity.

You know the moral-hunting man.
He likes to preach and be preached at.
How often do you hear him say, with
conscious pride, II never read a book
unless it is instructive and elevadng
| can't waste my time on high-hown
fancies." He may be a worthy citizen,
a model neighbor, a good husband, Dut
he is not the kind of man you'd like
to go fishing with And just here is
where that Hall of Fame jury made
the mistake which has caused a pro-
test on both sides Of the Atlantic In
the rejection Of Poe and the selection
Of Whittier for honors in this lofty
institution it would seem that moral
character rather than literary genius
is the essential qualification for I'M
dying fame. Granted that a man IS
as bad as his worst feelings. Isn't
he also as great as his greatest work :?
What is highest literature or trueSt
art but the clearest expression of man
at his best? The beauty which man
creates must first dwell in his own
soul. And true goodness and great
ness will sometimes thrive all the ber-
ter in soil that is not too sterile OF
the human element. When Raphael
painted his master altarpiece 1t was
not moral enthusiasm-it was not de-
sire to teach purity and sanctity =
that inspired him to the work. He did
not try to give faithful portrait of
Mary, a daughter Of the house of
David. He saw the flower girl on the
street; the radiance Of her counter
ance so filled his soul that he could
not rest until he had perpetuated her
loneliness; and as we drink in the
purity Of expression, the wistfulness
Of the far-seeing eyes, the tenderness
Of n whole character Of the Sistine
Ma &nna, do we not perceive the be-
nig9 &soul of the artist in his perfect
COZ option of womanhood and mother
hok IA? The great artist reveals two
people in one-the person he paints
and himself. Another Of the worlds
great masters, Robert Burns, failed In
many things, but his songs go straight
to the heart They will live as long as
men live and love. And the best of
him lives in them. 1t was much the
same with Poe His life may have
been a curse to himself, his family and
his friends. Yet those rare flights of
genius which make him the tall pine"
In American literature reveal his
higher self in lightning flashes. A
mans work is the thing.

Privilege is the root Of all evils in
politics and business 1t Is one of the
Oldest sources Of wrong in the world
and has wrought more ruin than all the
piked mobs Of the unprivileged, vino
blinded by poverty, ignorance and in
Justice, have stOrmed the citadels Of
privilege and power. All experience
shows that human nature is too frail to
bear the strain Of privilege. The sense
of might overwhelms the sense of
right.
