WHY NOT A COLLEGE?
Ladysmith Could Make a Good Bid
for One,

for One.
An item in another column concern
ing St. Johns university at College
vile, Mimi, calls up the question why
not an educational institution at Lady
smith? On the score of size our city
discounts Collegeville some 90-odd per
cent. A school of any kind-if good
one-advertises town and that is one
of the things we are after just now.
Ladysmith is the central city of
large area that has no institution of
special training. We are not overly
large, but unlike many larger towns,
we are not powerful weak"
And, too, the state will be establish
ing more institutions before long, as
is the wont of states, and we ought to
have the basket under the plum.
The field for propaganda work is so
large that the Commercial clubbists
can attend at best only to small part

they went methodically to the task
of raising the horse bodily to the surface
which was donewith promptness and
comparative ease.
The horse appeared to be little the

lNCOMPLETENESS.

Nothing resting in its completeness
Can have worth or beauty; but alone
Because it leads and tends to farther sweetness
Fuller, higher, deeper than its own
Springs real glory dwells not in the meaning,
Gracious though it be, of her blue hours;
But is hidden in her tender leaning
Toward the summers richer wealth of flowers
Dawn is fair because her mists fade slowly
Into day which floods the world with light;
Twilights mystery is so sweet and holy
Just because it ends in starry night
Life is only bright when it proceedeth
Toward a truer, deeper life above;
Human love is sweetest when it leadeth
To divine and perfect love.

ONLY DEFINITION OF AMATEUR.
No Plays for Honorable Contest and
SucceaR

Success,
And what is an amateur?-a man
who plays for the game, and for the
thrill that honorable contest with and
success over worthy rival bring to
him, writes Caspar Whitney in the
Outing Magazine. Amateurs are
those who contend for honor. Pro
fessionals are those who contend
for gain. There are no other distinct
ions-no mi-professionals," no pro
amateurs. "a man is an amateur or
a professional. When the victory It.
self ceases to be sufficient return for
winning, then the amateur tends to
ward the professional, whose incen-
tive to win must be something more
material than mere thrill. When that
gain. profit, whatever you please to call
It. becomes the incentive, the thrill Of
honorable contest ceases to have any
significance. Employment Of protes-
sional coaches and handlers is fol-
lowed by professional methods.
professional spirit; and the profess
sional spirit tends to place win
ming above all else. Sport for
sports sake. that Is the amateur.
Sport for the winning to the purse OF
gold, according to the degrees the
professional spirit has advanced-that
is the professional Amateur status
rests solely upon its complete disas-
ISOLATION from professionalism In all
Its form. Its trickery. its utiltarianism,
Its moral and social atmosphere.
As the soul gives character to the
man. SO the thrill OF honorable con.
test gives character to the amateur
athlete.

OBJECT TO
ASSESSM MENTS
Fourth Ward Property Owners Meet
Special Assessment Commission
f.. This Morning.

| A number of property owners in the
Fourth ward crowded in the council
chamber at the city hall this morning
and protested against the taxes levied
Iagainst their property by the special
assessment commission for draining that
section of the city by means of a
trunk sewer. s 81
Every other renronstrator was Wo7
| man. The protests coming from them
lwere particularly emphatic. They
didn't pretend to argue the fairness OF
the assessment. Their objections were
simply that they were not benefited by
| the proposed sewer; or that they were
| perfectly satisfied with the present
drainage system. .+
The rerronstrances of the property
owners developed the fact that a arns-
| takers understanding exists ais to- the
| manner in which the commission 6gur-
ed out the assessments against the
property. The impression was pre-
valent THAT the amount of the assess
ment ON each particular lot was fixed
according to the valuation OF the prop
erty. 1t therefore became necessary
dor the members OF the commission to
explain ito the rerIons nstrators that the law
prohibits the valuation OF the property
being taken into consideration and that
all that could be considered were the
benefits to be derived from trunk sew
er and the dimensions of the lot.
| The owners of vacant lots had but
one objection to the sewer. They con-
tended that the asses sulrent against
their property was great injustice es-
pecially as there was no, revenue COM
ing from the property. The commits
sion invariably took this opportunity y
to explain that property that wasn't as
sessed before the sewer was laid was
immune from taxation thereafter SO
4 far as this particular improvement is
concerned regardless of whether or not
buildings were later erected on the
Iproperty. i
| The commission also emphasized the
point that where relief is not obtain
ed against the assessments from the
commission an appeal may be taken
to the council and in the event that
satisfaction is not received from that
body further appeal may be taken to
the courts But in no instance can an
appeal be taken to the courts that was
not originally begun before the special
assessment commission 4
