SLAP AT AMERICAN OARSMEN.
Henley Stewards Place Conditions on En-
tries From This Country.
spenaI OnhLe Despateh % rHR SrN.

LONDON, Dec. l5.-At a meeting OF the
Henley regatta stewards this afternoon IT.
was unanimously decided that no entry of
any club outside the United Kingdom would
be accepted unless the club should be affiliated
with a federation that had an agreement
with the stewards.
This decision was the result Of a discussion
upon a motion made by w. A. J.. Fletcher,
the oxford oarsman, to the effect that in
future no entries OF American crews or scullers
be accepted, as the outcome OF the revela-
lions that followed the visit OF the Nesper
crew in 1905. Fletcher admitted before the
meeting that he did hot hope TO see the mo-
ton become a permanent law, but he hoped
1t would be enforced until the American Ma
tional Association OF Amateur Oarsmen
purged itself of sham amateurism.

ter's work. The committee as 10 now stands
is a mer ger Of the old original committee and
the committee appointed by the college con-
ference, which was an outgrowth Of the foot
ball agit alton last season. There are those
who favora reconstruction OF the c0mmittee-
at least a few changes may be made--but the
present committee made such a good Job OF
rules revision that there are those who are OPP
posed to interfering with its personnel to any
great extent. They say that the more the
committee Is rearranged the more will
the continuity OF its work be Interrupted.
Owing to the splendid manner In which the
new rules have worked out, only minor changes
are looked for In the actual playing code.

MORAL COWARDISE.
Some Pertinent Remarks by william
Allen White.

Ion ask the editor to write III
every evil work and rebuke every
evil in town or community, but
when convinced that such duties
need attending to, write an article
for the paper yourself and sign
your name to it for publication.
The man who is too big a coward
to thus express an opinion is she
very one who will and on the cor
ner and talk loudly about the cow
ardice of the editor. Abilene
Reflector.
The world is full of moral COW.
ards. Men who see evil, and are
afraid to grapple with it. Pro-
badly if the shoe tracks of nine
tennths of the people who come
into an office to work the editor
could be traced home the tracks
would be found to lead to homes
of men who are constantly tattling
to the Lord about the iniquity of
this generation, but who never
get out to the primaries to stand
up for decency.
The world is full of men and
women who like to play audience,
who like to sit in the galleries and
cheer the man who is losing his
hide and most of his respiratory
and digestive apparatus in the
arena fighting the best of evil.
Not one in ten thousand climbs
down and helps. Let an editor
stand up for decency, as per in
structions of the old valued SUBJ
scriber; let the editor denounce
the evil which his friend is afraid
to hint at over his kown signature
and when in the stores and the
offices of the town the devil is
fighting back, accusing the editor
of double motives, calling him a
blackmailer, and abusing him
generally-who is the little man
drawing his head down under his
collar like a turtlel Who lis the
man afaid to cough for fear of
getting drawn into the converse
tion3 That, gentle reader, is the
chesty gent who pranced into the
EDITORS Office the day before and
said, sometimes ] wish | owned
a newspaper just for one day, to
denounce the evils of this town;
you editors are too afraid of losing
a subscriber; why don't you sail
in, denounce this poker game 60
ing on in the Smith block; get
after that joint down in the Jones
billiard hall; run those women off
Fourtha avenue; light into the
bucket shop" And so forth for
five thousand words. e.
As a rule editors have more
courage than other people in
community; they need 1t every
day in the week and develop it by
constant practice. They are used
to public ceRtumely, they are
hardened to abuse. They don't
care what people think of them.
So they are easy..prey of men with
axes to grind.
But how the Lord hates ak
grinders. -Emporia Gazette.
