Those classes have been so enlarged as 10 IN

AGAINST ABUSES AND MISCONCEPTIONS

L
Sir: Though unable to express it at the time.
wish to record my gratitude to you for the
editorial censure given to the doctors who per-
formed the unjustifiable experiment upon pup
pies at the Bradford Street Hospital few weeks
ago. Their subsequent suspension a credit to
their superiors and will do much to relieve the
practice of vivisecton of its present odium. IL
this example followed generally. whenever a
cruel unjustihed experiment was brought to
light. much would oe accomplished toward the
clearing away of abuses and those misconceptions
which, perhaps. exist both sides of the con-
troversy. but certainly the apologetic side.
Such editorials yours upon this subject to
to continue the very best traditions of the
paper. Very truly yours s. N. CLEGHORN

An Old Game-and Great.

Nearly 100000 people attended the
four principal football games last
Saturday. The Yale-Princeton con
test drew $4,000; that between Dart
mouth and Harvard, about $4,000,
and the Carlisle-Minnesota and
Pennsylvania-Nlichigan games each
had some 10000 spectators.
Thus it has been for hundreds of
years, and doubtless viii be for hun
dreds more. No critics in or out Of
the game can, it would seem, dam
age its tremendous popularity.
Football has not only survived, but
it has actually thrived, under criti-
cism. In some instances attacks
upon it have resulted in improve
ment Thus the droppings Of the
gladiatorial flying wedge" play. by
closing hostile mouths and dulling
equally hostile pens, had the effect
of helping the game by removing an
Objectionable element So, too.
nowadays the increasing openness
of the plays tends TO make the
game more spectacular and there
fore more interesting to the crowd
in the seats.
There can be no question that
modern football is superior in every
way to the old game that caused
Edward II to prohibit playing in
London. The changes in the rules
the development of team play-the
building up of a regular football de-
paTtment in almost every school of
any importance-these have had
much to do with. the remarkable
growth of the game in this country.
In England the game has retained
much of its original looseness. and
until lately, at any rate, scrub
games for money were fought out
in the streets of many an English
town. 1t has been the custom to
hold town matches on certain days;
and sometimes everyone had a hand
or foot IN it. 1t was this riotous
enthusiasm that caused the royal
interdict in 1914, yet it was not so
many years ago that Laurence Hut
ton, in Warwickshire, saw the ball
tossed 10 the public, hundreds of
roughs assembling and kicking it
through the street"

Mobile Will Not Secede.

With no likelihood Of serious re-
suits save in Northern newspapers,
the spirit of secession has been
reused to a faint echo in Ala
bama. The fight for prohibition has
not found favor in Mobile county,
where all the whisky license tax
goes to the public schools. Even
the woman are fighting temperance
there, and when, yesterday, the
State senate passed a compromise
dry bill for the whole State, not
only did Mobiles delegation, official
and unofficial, male and female, talk
of attaching Alabama's only seaport
to either Mississippi or Florida, but
the president of the Bank of Mobile
sent to the city's State senator this
dispatch:
Unless anu-prohibitionists win today,
please give notice that Mobile is pre-
pared to secede from the State of Ala
and cease TO be dominated by our coun-
try cousins. whose efforts to paralyze
Mobile will not be tolerated.
OF course. Mobile Will do nothing
of the kind. With section 3, article
", of the Constitution staring her
people in the face, they would not
be likely to attempt it, even if they
lacked the serious judgment to stay
their temper. When the supreme
law of the land declares that mo
new State shall be formed or ere
ated within the jurisdiction of any
other State; nor any State be
formed by the junction of two or
more States or parts of States,
without the consent of the Iegisla-
lures of the States concerned as well
as of the Congress" the president
of the Bank of Mobile may reason
ably be suspected of having shot off
his face.
But this desperation has interest
apart from the possibility of at
tempted secession. 1t measures
speetaeularly the tendency of the
human mind to think what it desires
to think.
Prohibition is either a practical

Art and Americans.

As Mr.. b. j. Lang says, it is not
easy TO know how much of our
music doings is indigenous and how
much is hybrid" Art is long; it
takes a long time to develop. No
doubt out of all this fuIsome pat
ronage, on the one hand, and this
steady growth of systematic must
cal education, on the other, viii
come the appreciation and comPre-
hension of a high order" which the
accomplished musician fOresees.
There are reasons for the extern
sive importation of foreign artists.
The main one is that they are ar
lists. Their nationality is not i'm
portant. People do not crowd to
see Paderewsk because he is a
Pole, though it would indeed be in
terssting to have this renowned
pianist settle down in Kankakee or
Boston and see what effect his TAX
ing out of naturalization papers
would have on his popularity.
But where there is so liberal
patronage of art there is bound be-
fore long to be a fine appreciation
of art. Gradually less attention will
be paid the artists personal appear
ance, and fine playing viii prove
more attractive than a barbarie poll.
One of the most appealing musicians
heard IN America this season has
all the appearances of a civilized
Caucasian. Moreover, an artist can
be a gentleman. Whether he is
American or nOn-American is not
the chief question at this period of
our history.
