WIS. c. COACH FAvORS CON-
FERENCE

lhere is no reason that | know of
why the colleges of the Pacific North
west should be behind the big colleges
of the Middle West in their athletic
relations with one another" said
Coach j. R. Bender, of the State Col
iege. IN recent conversation. True,
the Eastern institutions are the larg-
est, but nevertheless. if the Northwest
colleges get together and lay their
plans with mutual interests considered.
better results will be achieved than bv
working with varying objects in view,
as at present.
am absolutely convinced that we
should leave the Pacific Northwest
Amateur Athletic Association strictly
and entirely alone. Personally. see
no benefits in affilating with it. The
eastern associations are not affiliated
with the Pm. A. and, moreover, it
seems very obvious to me that the
seven institutions of the Northwest
can, if they choose. get together and
form an Intercollegiate association that
would be far more desirable than anv
alliance with an amateur organization.
What | want to see is an intercol-
legiate association of the Northwest.
comprising Willamette, Whitman, O.
A.C., the Universities of Oregon
Washington and of Idaho. and the
Washington State College. Let these
institutions get together on a basis of
mutual understanding wherein thew
may carry on their athletic activities
irrespective of the Pacific Northwest
Amateur Athletic Association. or anv
association sim lar thereto. Let them
arrange schedules for football. base
ball, track, and what else they choose.
doing it so that each will have a square
deal; and where possible, crack atb-
letes should be kept from jumping in
discriminatory from one college to an
other, as such movements often en-
genders friction between the institu-
tions concerned.
Il should like very much for this
association. if it is formed. to provide
for an intercollegiate track meet, at
which the seven colleges of the North
west would be represented. This big
meet need not interfere with the local
meets; in fact, the latter could be
used quite advantageously as prelimi-
naries for the selection of athletes to
participate in the big meet. would
suggest that these meets be held at
Portland, Seattle, and Spokane, the
first meet probably at Seattle or
Portland. Or, the arrangement could
be made four cornered, including
Walla Walla. Post Intelligencer.

Work For The Hague, Maybe.

This country is now involved in two
disputes wherein international treaty
rights appear to conflict with local
rights. The case of the japanese in
the public schools of San Francisco is
well known. That may be arranged
without reaching the dignity of an in
ternational episode to date from in fu-
ture cases.
The case of the Newfoundland fish.
cries, however is of deep moment be-
cause actual and permanent CONNER
cial interests are involved. This matter
was temporarily arranged, but the
opening of the herring season of 1907
finds it still unsettled. The Newfound-
landers claim the right to legislate To-
cai}y FOR the fisheries SO long as they
do not discriminate against Americans
They say that the treaty rights of the
Americans in the fishing grounds go
no further than to protect against dis
elimination. Apparently the British
government has recognized the sound
ness of this contention. The American
fishermen assert that the laws of New
foundland operate against profitable
fishing with the outfit necessary for
them to carry on business SO far from
their market. The Observation-Disclosures
have offered to refer the matter to The
Hague AS the case has been handled
1t Is distinctly one of state rights
against treaty rights, and a decision
upon it by the court of arbitration
would be held to establish precedent.

Lincoln was reader of dime novels,
We are told by writer in the Atlantic
Monthly, who argues that "the taste
and tone of the life and the generation
which grew up with these tales were
improved by them" To say merely
that Lincoln read them does not prove
much, for he was persistent reader
and man to appreciate the price. But
his college trained secretary of state,
Seward, also patronized the famous
Beadle series, "the first and best of
their order" 1t was the price which
made dime novels popular, but that
was not the sole reason of their hold
upon readers. Beadle's aim was to
revolutionlze the price of good litera-
ture, but he was forced to compete
with fairly good standard.
Paper editions of novels by the best
American and English writer's sold for
90 cents and 81 when the dime novel
came. Cloth editions were So and up
ward. But the sensational dime novel
of today would not have made head
way at that time. Young folks who
read fiction looked for literary merit
and a clean and instructive motive.
They generally found it in Beadle's
and were consoled thereby for the
scarcity and high cost of Cooper's tales.
If there has been degeneracy in the
dime novel, as some literary censors
claim, it is probably not proof of "a
lower moral standard among readers.
The modern newspaper presents clean
and instructive fiction at next to no
price at all. This comes before the
reading class Of every community.
People who seek mere excitement from
the printed page find their level in the
impossible detective and cowboy tales
which have succeeded the old order of
dime novel In the trade. What was
worthy Of perpetuating in the Beadle
books is now found in the newspaper
serial, or it may be in the $1.50 bound
volume.

Annandale derives its chief impor.

lines intersect there. The Chicago ex-
press paused only for a moment while
the porter deposited my things beside
me on the platform. Light streamed
from the open door of the station; a
few idlers paced the platform, staring
into the windows of the cars: the vii
lage hackman lauguidly solicited my
business Suddenly out of the shad-
ows came tall, curious figure of a
man clad in long ulster. AS l write,
it is with a quickening of the sensa-
tion | received on the occasion of my
first meeting with Bates. His lank,
gloomy figure rises before me now,
and | hear has deep melancholy voice.

The hackman was already gathering
up my traps, and | gave him my trunk
checks.
How far is it?" I asked, my eyes
resting, little resretfully. l must con-
fess, on the rear lights of the vanish

| suggested, drawing the cool air into
my lungs. 1t was still, starry Octo-

full after the hot sleeper. Bates ac-
cepted the suggestion without COM

platform, where the hackman was al
