This, indeed, is what was to be ex.
pected from the well-known experience
and competency of the administrative
boards. NJ. Ruan thinks, however, that
lnasmuch as horse racing in this com-
try is rapidly undergoing changes,
many pertinent new questions having
been raised recently at the Paris Hippic
congress. it is desirable to create a cen
ter. for the study of all matters re-
lating either to horse-racing or to
horse e-breedlng. This is the motive for
the organization of the consultative
committee. The Minister has chosen
the members of this committee mainly
from among the Conseil Superieur des
Haras, from the stud-book commissions.
and from the owners and breeders of
horses The Minister of Agriculture
will be the president of the commit
tee. The list of members given by the
Minister. contains such well-known
names of sportsmen as NM Edmond
Blanc, Maurice Caillault, Decker-David,

dents of the different racing clubs.

NEW YORK, Aug 11.-''Thc Ameri,

James L. Sullivan thus comments on
the methods of the American discus

In the eagerness to take up a new sport
Americans have adopted the classic idea
of the Greek thrower and altered and
adapted it until they have produced
an entirely different contest. They must
stop the mushroom growth and return
TO the original principles if thew wish
to meet the foreigner at his own game

NEW YORK. Aug. 11.-Charles M
Daniels of the New York Athletic club
the world g fastest swimmer. has re-
turned to these shores after triumphs
abroad never before known by an
American natatorial expert
For years this country has been beat
en- in the water by Australians, Hun
garians, Austrians, Englishmen and
others, and even at the World 8 fair
In ST. Louis a German won the half
and one-mile American championships,
while hungarian won the 90 and 100
yard events, proving that the fastest
sprinters, as well as distance men, be-
longed not to the United States
That was two years ago., and at that
lime Daniels Won the 22O and 440-yard
championships, and that was only his
beginning. Last year he won every
American championship he started in.
Expected Foreigners to Win.
Few people thought very seriously of
our entrants at the worlds champion
ships at Athens, and confidently expect
ed that either the Australian, Healy;
the Hungarian, De Holmay, or the men
from England would win out
But Daniels beat them all with the
utmost ease. 1t was a jolt such as
was never handed to foreign swimmers
before.
Britons Like His Style.
Daniels won number of other races
an England, always setting the Brtons
wild with enthusiasm over his long,
graceful stroke, a combination of the
trudgeon and crawl.
Daniels will now train for the Ameri-
can championships in ST. Louis, IN Sep
tember.

La Toilette in New Jersey.

Senator La Toilette, undismayed by his
defeat a home. keeps the stump in support
of his doctrines, and will speak at a number
of meetings this week in New Jersey. He
may not draw as well as If he had won at
home, for nothing succeeds like success.
but he will not want for attention. He has
elements of strength. and is worth hearing.
Mr.. La Toilette is not the first man to suf-
fer by reason of too much devotion. His
friends expected him when he took his seat
In the Senate to mold that body on the
railroad question into shape to suit him
self: and he came to feel that such was his
mission, and that 1t would not be difficult
of accomplishment He ought to have
known that it was quite impossible. Other
and older men there had been investigating
the same subject, and preferred their views
to his. This angered him. and he set up
for a crushed tragedian-a role that neither
deserves nor secures sympathy. The world
cares little about sore toe. and the man
SO afflicted should bear his pain In silence.

School Begins.

In the calendar of youth this day is some
times designated as Black Monday, though
there is little evidence in children's faces
today to justify this dismal epithet. Sixty
thousand young citizens of Washington
turned their steps schoolward this morn
ing. For the most part their faces were
lighted up with smiles. Thousands of them
carried flowers. and 1t must be that many
class rooms are stacked high with golden
rod.
This is a momentous day in most house
holds. and one of tense excitement in many.
The work of getting children off to school
on the first day of the term is tax on the
strength of mother. Most of the children
perhaps enter new classes. and in many
families there is one who has just arrived
at school age and who today appears for
the first time as a public scholar.
1t Is too bad that on day like this there
is so little calm and so much riot in the
school system.

Death of TrepoH.

The death of Trepoff, though exploited as
matter of news. seems to have been large
~ passed over as matter of editorial COM
ment Perhaps SO many editors have avoid
ed the subject because they wished to speak
no evil of the dead. Trepoff was unpopular
with the reading masses outside of Russia.
1t is probable that he was disliked by the
masses in Russia. 1t Is certain that with
the revoiutionists he was an object of hate
1t is too close to his time for accuracy of
judgment as to this man. When a man
gets good reputation his goodness is apt
to be promptly magnified into saintliness
and when he gets an evil reputation public
opinion is apt to transform him into devil
And reputation is sometimes got without
merit, oft lost without deserving
Trepoff was wholly and violently loyal to
the car. He hailed him as master. He
served him as faithfully as the dog that
stands by his master and snarls at all who
approach. He was ruthless toward men and
women who did not share his sense of 10y
atty. He seemed deficient in human SYM
pathies. But in every office to which he
was appointed he seemed to have no
thought of anything, but duty! He did his
duty as he saw it.
f. The student body in Russia was always
against him and he against It. Vera Sas-
soulisch shot him. Many efforts have been
made to assassinate hint was said that
two of his nieces were plotters against his
life.'f' The threat had been made It is said
that he would be killed in his own room
Perhaps Dimitri Trepoff died of heart dis
ease. Perhaps he was assassinated.

Promotion in the Army.

No indignant sounds seem yet to be issu-
ing out of editorial sanctums because OF
the appointment by the President of Capt.
John J. Pershng. 18th Calvary. to be
brigadier general The indignant sounds
will probably be heard. They were heard
on the occasion of the great jumps made by
Major General Wood and Brigadier General
Mills. and no doubt much win be written
on the subject of injustice to older officers
by the Pershing promotion.
Capt. Pershing's promotion il a long jump
He gets his star over 257 other captains. 1874
majors. 131 lieutenant colonies and ITO
colonies. or over s62 officers who ranked
him..
AS In most questions. there are two sides
to the promotion question. which today
deeply stirs the army. Promotion by senior
fty may In many instances deaden ambition
and initiative and discourage enterprise.
On the other hand. promotion without re-
gard to seniority may open the way to
gross favoritism and INSCRIPTIONS schem-
ing by young officers for promotion. and
may discourage hundreds of men who have
given their government devoted. intelligent
and effective service. but who have never
had the luck to figure in some sensational
exploit and who have no friends at court.
There is danger of Generalization in the
