S. S. Puts All in Line
For A Liberal Education

When we look back upon the success
to which our forefathers attained
along every line and realize that that
success had for foundation a liberal
education, perhaps we will be more
concerned about the problem of educat-
ing the coming generation. What is
there for an uneducated man to do but
to compete with a free negroY And
does he have very fair competitions
Not much Why3 Because the man
that owns the dollars knows that he
can double them quicker with the

IMPORTANT EVENTS TO
 TAKE PLACE THIS WEEK

The Senate is counting upon q busy week and the prospect is favorable to long work days and few interruptions. After Monday there will be at least two ap- propriation bills ready for consideration and the sea level canal bill, having been made the unfinished business will be pressed as steadily as circumstances will permit. In addition conferees will be ap- pointed on the railroad rate bill; the nom ination of the Presidents assistant sec retary, MT Barnes, to be postmaster of the city of Washington, and the bill de- claring a policy in the matter of the purchase of the Panama canal supplies will be considered.
 The Senate manifests a disposition to devote serious consideration to the canal type bill When it is taken up Senator Kittredge will preseny m speech of considerable length the reasons which i'm pelled the majority of the committee on inter-oceanic canal to report in favor of the sea level plan. It is now expected that he will speak today (Monday) and 1t is understood that his address will be the first of series on the subject. On Tuesday Senator Willard. chairman of the canal committee, will present re- port giving the views of the minority members in favor of local canal

COLLEGE GAMES

The question of supremacy on the dia- mand between Vanderbilt and Sewanee Is still unsettled and Will probably remain so for the present season at least. The game which was to have decided the championship could not be played yester- day afternoon owing to rain, and the in dcations are that the tie existing will have to stand. The Vanderbilt team left last night for Memphis, where they play the Collegians of that place today and Monday. These games were scheduled long ago and could not be declared off, even for the sake of meeting their old time rivals from the mountains. As ex- aminations will soon be the order of the day at Vanderbilt and the boys will be kept hustling with their studies. the base ball management cannot see it's way clear to arrange another meeting this year with Sewanee. so the followers of the two teams will have to wait until next season for a settlement of the much disputed question of supremacy.-Nashville Ban r,At

LATONIA TO OPEN
 FOR BIG MEETING
STABLE ROOM IS AT PREMIUM AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE WILL BE 16oo HORSES ABOUT THE GROUNDS.

Cincinnati, May 27-The spring meet ing of the Latonia Jockey club begins on Wednesday, May 90, Decoration Day, and will continue for thirty-one days. Before the peace compact was signed by Chairman Joseph L. Rhinock, represent ing Latonia, Louisville and City Park racing organizations, and Louis Cola, who controls the fair grounds at New Or leans Douglas Park and many big inter ests at other points, it was estimated that there would be 1900 horses in and about Latonia. There Is room for 1900 inside of the course. and in two large stables owned by the track on the outside. The Western Jockey club followers are now clamoring for stable room, and the La- tonia management is making strenuous efforts to house them.
 The Latonia meeting will be conducted independent of either of the two organ izations that now exist in the west. The trainers and jockeys licenses and rulings as to fraud of both turf bodies will be recognized.
 Eleven stakes will be decided during the meeting, and the attraction for the open ing day is the Decoration handicap at a mile and sixteenth which will net about s220o to the winner. The Latonia derby comes on Saturday. and almost the same field that went to the post for the Ken lucky derby at Louisville will battle it all over again at Latonia. Sir Huon, who won the Kentucky derby, in clever style, will have to carry 127 pounds at Latonia. and notwithstanding that he will be a hot favorite.
 A great big event of the meeting, the S12.5 handicap, called the Queen City. will be run on June 16 Ninety-four horses have been nominated but as the weights do not appear until three days before the race, it Is hard to say who will &C., cept.

Two Sunday games were played in the Southern league yesterday, New Orleans defeating Shreveport by a score of to :, and Memphis winning from Nashville by score of to l. By defeating the Pirates New Orleans assumes undisputed possession of first place in the league standing.
 New Orleans returns to Birmingham, Shreveport to Atlanta, and Memphis to of games in the respective cities. Umpire Buckley, who went to Pelcanville Sat- urday night to work yesterday afternoon, will return to Birmingham, and will of flcate In today's game.
 The second game of the series between The Barons and the Pelicans Is scheduled to take place this afternoon. beginning at 1 o'clock. It is not believed that the rain of yesterday will have any effect on the diamond and the game promises to be an interesting contest. Rip Reagan, who has been pitching some great ball recently for Vaughan's men, will probably pitch today Yesterdays rest for the locals was good for them while on the other hand the Pelcars should be rather fa- tigued after their long journey to and from New Orleans
 The lineup of Birmip gham will prob ably be the same this afternoon as on Saturday with the exception of the pitch CT, of course. It is not known who Charley Frank will put in the box to pitch for the Pelicans, but as the Dutchman seems determined to keep up the winning streak of the team, he will probably send the best he has in against Birmingham.
