ton too strong to be lightly passed. At the
same time the condition strikes at one of
the foundations of modern university and
college life.
The question before the trustees is wheth-
er this foundation is trustworthy one, and
whether a structure reared upon it fulflls
the highest purposes of education. The
strong hold of athletics upon the youth of
this country cannot be gainsaid At the
same time feeling is undeniably growing
in many quarters that possibly We have as
a people run too strongly toward sport in
connection with education. Wholesome rec
reation is absolutely necessary for young
men and women engaged in mental tasks.
The gymnasium is an essential part of the
equipment of every school or college. to de-
velop the body while the mind is hard at
work absorbing the knowledge and acauir-
ing the habits which contribute to later
success in life. But there is a wide differ
ence between the work done in the gym
nasium and that engaged in by selected
teams of players who carry the name of
the institution into the field of intercol-
legiate rivalry
Many parents today deplore the tendency
toward athleticism as means of exploiting
an educational establishment and attracting
students. They feel that the student Is apt
to be drawn, not by the educational ad-
vaatages offered by the college, but by the
prestige 1t acquires winner of matches
and championships in the athletic field
This distortion of view is responsible. 1t is
feared for some of the inadequacies of the
college training a means of fitting young
people for the real work of life. For the
youth who lacks incentive to study, whose
financial future seems assured, the sport
ing college is especially attractive.
OF course, no matter how extreme may
be the athletic development of the student
body the Jealous seeker after knowledge
the true student. may find in practically
any institution of learning certain advan-
tages and his work will not be hindered by
The attention paid by others to athletics
The issue pending at Swarthmore Is
whether these advantages might not easily
be increased perhaps at the expense of
sporting prestige. The question may not
again arise In the same terms, yet feeling
prevails that the beQuest of Miss Jeanes Is
calculated to arouse interest in this prob
lem to such pitch that other philanthro-
pists will follow her example and endeavor
to secure a wholesome readjustment in the
American colleges and universities by Of
sering similar premiums to encourage schol-
arship at the cost of sporting predominance.

The Battleship Cruise.

President Roosevelt put the matter of the
battieship cruise in its plainest and most
effective form when he said yesterday at
ST. Louis:
In couple of months our fleet of great
armored ships starts for the Pacific.
California. Oregon and Washington have a
coastline which is our coastlne just as en-
phaticaIly as the cOastline of New York and
Maine, of Louisiana and Texas. Our fleet
is going to Its own home waters In the Pa
citfc. and after a stay there it will return
to its home waters in the Atlantic
The best place for naval officer to learn
his duties is at sea, by performing them,
and only by actually putting through voy
age OF this nature-a voyage longer than
any ever before undertaken by as large
fleet of any nation-can We find out just
actly what is necessary for to know as
to our naval needs and practice our officers
and enlisted men in the highest duties of
their profession.
This manner of announcement Is not cal
culated to whet the war talk in the slight
est. 1t is rather of a nature to allay any
apprehension that may exist anywhere
There is no jingoism in 1t. There has been
indeed. nothing of the sort in the battleship
cruise proposition from the outset, when ex-
planned and viewed properly.
The Pacific is more of an American than
an Asiatic ocean. The Pacific coastline of
sive than that of the eastern. The United
States today has greater possessions and
weightier interests in the Pacific than has
any other single power. In addition to its
own long continental coastline 1t owns
Hawaii, the mid-Doint of al trade in that
ocean, and the Philippines, one of the larg
est and most important island grounds in
those waters. This country should main
tain in the Pacific large war fleet not as
menace to other powers. but assur
ance of peace and a measure of protection
TO American commerce.
This cruise is calculated to cause the
American people TO realize more distinctly
than ever before the urgent need of larger
naval appropriations, TO enable the govern
ment to establish a distinctive.y Pacific
fleet, of size proportional to the ocean
field 1t Is to cover and the interests 1t is to
safeguard. Such demonstration will have
no reference whatever to the matter of any
difficulty that may arise hereafter with
Japan, or any diplomatic strain that may
recently have existed In the relations of the
two countries.
1t Is OF the greatest Importance to the
naval establishment hat the ships be sent
around the Horn and the officers and crews
be given practice in long distance cruising
Many lessons are to be learned from such
| maneuver, and the only unfortunate fea-
ture of the whole Program is that circum-
stances and q few loose takers have con-
spired to give the expedition the unwar-
ranted semblance of a warlike demonstra-
ton against power with which the United
States is profoundly at peace and which,
moreover. is at this time utterly unable to
engage in a campaign against any nation,
so depleted Is its treasury.

The Minority in Congress.

As meeting time draws near the organi-
Zatipu OF the next Congress becomes a topic
q! live interest. That body at its first ses-
Sion will do a good deal Of business having
relation to the next presidential contest.
and So both parties should be al their best
there
The republican leadership in both houses
is already determined. and will be Compe-
tent and experienced. In the Senate, with
MI Fairbanks in the chair and the steering
committee composed of the pick of that side
OF the chamber, the majority should move
along smoothly. In the House, with Mr..
Cannon again in the chair and ieutenants
who have long worked with him in charge
on the floor, straight course should not be
difficult
The democrats have yet to decide on their
leadership. Nh Germans death left his
party III the Senate rather helpless Mr..
Blackburn, on account of seniority, was
chosen as stop-gap; but as he has been
retired from the Senate real chairman of
the minority caucus must be chosen. The
names OF Mr.. CulDerson. Mr.. Martin and
MIR. Bacon are mentioned, and all three men
possess the ability and experience required
Tor the post.
As for the House. there is a renewal of
the talk about opposition TO Mr.. Williams.
But surely this cannot be more than talk.
Without disparag.ng anybody, it may be
said that the man nom the Yazoo country
is his party's best asset in the House He
knows the rules and the ropes, has wit and
debating power. is popular on both sides of
The chamber, and deserves reelection as
leader. He has shown himself able to do
more with a balky team than anybody who
has held the reins IN a quarter of century
The whip able to keep that team always in
the traces has not been discovered. Ask
MIR. Bailey OF Texas and Mr.. Richardson
of Tennessee, who have sat on the box,
about the difficulties.
If IL is pointed out that with a southern
man leading the democrats in the Senate
ana another southern man leading the dem
ocrats in the House the south's claim TO
next years presidential candidate will be
weakened, on the ground that the south
would thus monOpo4ize the honors, there
are two replies. The first is that the north
ernw wing OF the democracy has no represent
alive at all i'll the Senate, and no represent
atve in the House entirely competent for
leadership. The south is the wOodchuck
The party has no other meat. The second
reply Is that the talk of a southern man
for President Is only Wall street CANNON
There nothing sincere substantial to it.

swarthmore's Conditional Legacy.

Time I

A sweet and sad reminder now comes steal
ing through the trees
When the leaves are family touched with
red and gold;
There's subtle strain of sadness in the
murmur of the breeze,
And sunset skies CLEAN threatening and
cold.
The crows that call so harshly as they
hurry overhead
Are laughing at our sorrow and dismay.
Where'er you turn, before your eyes this
message sad is spread
tbs time to put your summer clothes
away"
So let US still believe that everything is for
the best,
Nor turn away with supercilious nose
When the odor Of the moth ball from the
newly opened chest
Supplants the perfume of the dying rose
The outing shirt, the suit of serge, the belt
and canvas shoes,
Alas, have all enjoyed their little day,
And now, as all relentlessly the year its
course pursues,
'Tis time to put your summer clothes
away.

Oklahoma and the Senate.

Il IS suggested that the Oklahoma legis-
lature may refuse TO carry out the instruc-
tons Of the primary election in the case of
Mr.. Gore for United States senator A
change of sentiment TO the wisdom of
the choice is said To have taken place since
the primary was held.
Mr.. Gore is man of ability, but blind.
In his canvass before the people he was
accompanied by his wife. who is his secre-
tary. The picture OF them together on the
stump was feature OF the campaign and
not unlikely II made votes for the demo-

and the case OF the Cores was such as to
appeal to their best natures. The blind
candidate proved very popular, and won
his race.
But now, we are told, a reaction has set
In. The fear is entertained that a blind
man may not be able to serve as 1t de-
serves young and husky state in such a
body as the Senate. Much important work
Will be on the cards there, and both Okla
homa senator's, 1t Is contended, should be
fully equipped for duty.
The defeat OF NJ. Gore would in the
circumstances, be an outrage personally
and grave ofense against public policy.
Had lis aftlictiOn not been known to the
voters, and appeared now for the first
time the Legislature could AFFORD at least
TO pause and consider. But even then il
would be possible to say much In Mr..
Cores favor. Blindness does not disquaI-

tain has ever known was blind Moreover,
1t IS TO be supposed that Mrs. Gore. who
has SO far been OF so much aid to her
husband Will accompany him here, and

But greater than the injustice to Mr..
Gore personally would be the ofrense
against public policy. The primary plan

Hazard Of Moral Surgery.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The ability of surgery to reform perverse
and criminal tendencies by operation on the
brain has been widely exploited by reports
of cases in which inveterate misbehavioI
has been changed to blamelessness after
some surgery has cut out the portion OF
the gray matter supposed to originate OF
prosecute evil tendencies But what II the
complement OF that proposition should be
established by surgeons removing the
wrong convolution and turning out persist
ent criminals? This narrowing doubt is
forced upon US by the report Of a case in
which surgeons removed a portion Of the
brain matter of youth. and the patient
after due recovery went out and committed
200 robberies in six weeks.

Cathedral Building.
From the Providence Journal.

Probably the world will never again see
such an epoch of cathedral building as the
thirteenth century; but that this form Of
religious and architectural expression has
not yet exhausted itself is shown by sew
eral recent undertakings Of the kind OF
more than common note. The laying Of the
corner stone of the Cathedral Of SIS. Peter
and Paul at Washington on Sunday marks
the beginning of a work destined to rival
in interest the noble structure now going
up on Morningsde Heights in New York
The Washington cathedral occupies a COM
manding position, and 1t will be a welcome
addition to the beauty of the National cap
ital. More important than It's architectural
significance. however Is its religious sig
nificance. The great cathedrals of the past
belong to what are sometimes called the
ages Of faith. 1t may be that the twen-
tieth century will prove new age Of faith
