Providence. Feb. 23, 1907.-Poets have often grieved over the imposslo- ility of being a child again, and grown up persons, not poets. are frequentiy heard telling how hard they would work if they could go back to college During the present winter grown up persons in Providence are having an oportunity. to go back to college or for that matter to go 10 college Tor the first time, and a surprisingly large number of them are taking advantage of it. The situation is of more than local interest in that it indicates an educational possibility which may ih- cluda eventually all American commit nftieA within convenient distance Of college centre.

Such institutions, as we now know them. grew naturally from a single teacher living in a place at which his students gathered to hear his lectures, some from near at hand and some from A long distance. The students were not necessarily young They were ot all ages, rich. poor, well-to-do, but all brought together by common desire for greater knowledge, It might be fairly said, therefore, that the classes drawn to Brown University this winter bv an opportunity for any Rhode Islander to profit by the instruction Of college lecturers are really remarkably representative of the spirit of an an- cIent university

PHELAN OUTBUN1ED
TORONTO STAR IHONEY

At the end OF the fifth inning OF yester-
days game Phelan and Thoney hooked up
for honors In base running and bunting
Two races were run off. the first a
beating the bunt" contest and the other
a race around the bases. Thoney stepped
to the plate first for his race against time
TO the initial bag Umpire owens held the
stop watch near the first base, where
Hurley of Toronto and Crawford of Provi-
dence were also gathered as judges Har-
ris served up the ball and Thoney was
away IKE a shot The moment his bat
touched IT, He seemed TO fairly fly on his
way to first and when Umpire owens
looked at his watch the crowd was cer-
tain that he had broken a record His
time for the distance was l-5 seconds.
Phelan then stepped to the plate. He
was too anxious to get away when the
first ball was served up and reached at IL
without touching 1t with his bat as he
started for the base. He bunted the Sec
ond ball served up and sprinted for the
bag as IL his life depended upon 1t,
crossing IL in what appeared TO be faster
time than his opponent amid the cheers
of the crowd. That he had defeated
the speedy Thoney at his own game
was proved a moment later when his
time for covering the distance was an
announcement by owens brought forth
a round of cheering from the specta-
tors, who were immensely tickled at
the defeat OF the hitherto invincible
Thoney.
Hughey Duffy stepped into the box to
toss up the balls for the contest in cir
cling the bases. Thoney was first up
in this contest also. After a few at
tempts at getting away with a good one
he dropped the ball down the third-base
line and was off toward first like a
flash. He cut the corner between hrst
and second in great style and hardly
ran out of the base line in travelling
from second to third. On the last lap
of his journey from third TO the plate
he slowed up appreciably, much TO the
astonishment of the crowd. HIS time
for the circuit was announced at IL 30
seconds beating the record OF Ia 20
seconds formerly held by Clement OF
Jersey City. The announcement that
the worlds record had been broken was
met with storm of cheering, bat the
fans looked TO the swift footed -2he-
Ian TO do IL in less, but the hest he
could do was Ia seconds fiat IL was
apparent that Phelan covered the ground
faster than Thoney, but he was not
able TO cut the corners the way the
Toronto runner did and lost on this ac-
count Even as the case stands by go
ing around in Ia seconds, however, he
beat by two -fifths of a second the rec
ord of Clement.

APPONAUG

Work on the new chimney at the Apo
naug company. which is being built by
the Kellogg company OF New York city,
has had several drawbacks since IL first
began. In digging the foundation 1t was
necessary to use dynamite % break some
OF the rocks. few days later the wet
weather delayed work for over a week.
Then the smoke from the old chimney
was so thick that they were compelled to
work but half-tlme for four or FIVE days.
Last Monday scarcity OF laborers pre-
vented the masons from working Monday
night the health officer ordered four of

Norfolk, Va, Sept. lS.-Declaring that
the underlying cause OF all the rotten
ness" is an unholy alliance OF administra-
tion and favored interests, former Judge
Alton b. Parker, yesterday condemned
President Roosevelt's plea for increased
Federal power.
The defeated New York Democratic
candidate for the presidency was the prin-
cipal speaker at the Constitution Day
celebration at the jamestown exposition.
He urged all who are opposed to the
Capitalization views OF the president TO
sacrifice party feeling and enter the lists
as open champions OF the constitutional
system in its integrity. He said some 9TH
er year--even next year-may be too late.
Representative Samuel w. Mccall OF
Massachusetts,, who delivered an address
along similar lines. ridculed the assump-
ton that the evils now connected with
government will 'all disappear If we shall
enter upon a utopian world, where every
breath we draw will be under the direc-
ton of some benefcent instrument OF the
Washington deity
Mr.. Parker dwelt upon the Importance
OF following closely the constitution as IL
has been I'm the past, pointing out the
dangers to continued existence of free
Institutions from too great a centraliza-
tion OF power in the executive.
The feeling OF unrest which has been
evidenced in the country he attributed to
the rapid spread OF education, the intro
ducton of new theories and to the fact
that greater part of the population
have interested themselves in matters
which in past generations interested only
few.
Some one has said, oh. liberty What
crimes have been committed in thy
name. said Judge Parker. I'VE might
say today. oh, commerce! What theories
are sought TO be advanced under thy
cloak.

Parker FINDS POLITICS
AT ROOT OF OUR EVILS

threshold is the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution, which covers in
large measure the prospective field of
Federal expansion
Speaking OF the efforts which he said
was being made to enhance the powers of
the Federal government. he stated that
an opportune time had been chosen when
the people were aroused over abuses
which had come to light, but the ceHsti
which had come to light, but the con-
stitution was as nearly ideal today as it
was when first drafted by the fathers.
The evils, he said, would not be avoided
were the state governments stripped of
control OF all corporations, for the under
lying cause OF all the "rottenness" was
an unroly alliance OF administration and
favored interests.
Party success has been placed above
public duty. In the struggle for mastery
in both state and nation. money has been
sought as well for illegitimate uses an le-
climate uses. AS the corruption OF the
electorate has widened and deepened the
demand for money has increased, de-
mand which long ago outgrew any sum
that could be raised by patriotic contribu-
tors. So corporations having favors to
ask were invited TO contribute, and they
did so knowing full well that when legis-
lation was needed or undesirable legisla-
ton was threatened, the head of the or
ganization could be relied upon for assist
ance; that his statement that this cor
poration contributed $4,000 or 100000 TO
the campaign fund would lock or unlock
the door to legislative or administrative
action This has been true in some cities
which are Democratic and in others which
are Republican. 1t has for many years
been true in some states as well as in the
nation"
To remedy the existing evils he stated
that To-day what is needed is not TO re-
model our entire system of government,
but to strike at the root of the evil
