HARVARD CAME TICKETS.

That the eleventh-hour announce ment just made by the Yale ticket de- partment management will not fall on ready ears is inevitable. It was un- avoidable that such cut be made in the number of tickets to be allotted to each man, The muttorlngs heard in some quarters are entirely unjust and unfair
 There was no reason for the man. agement to forcsee that the number of applications for the New Haven game of 1908 would far exceed those for any previous game here. Nor could the management have any ac- curate idea of the number of tickets desired until after the applications were all in, last Friday. Uudoubted- ly graduates from Maine to California, who have been counting on going to the game, will be forced to change
 
 their plans Probably there havo never been as many unchaperoncd couples at any New Haven football game as will attend the game on the twenty-first of this month, The rule of o-tlckets- to-evcry- will mean that mamas will have to remain away, It is inevitable.
 one bit of advice can be given to those who are induleing themselves in criticism at this time, They are ns- ually the ones who at once will hestlr themselves to get tickets from spccu- lators. wherever such may ho found (though they will he few this year). They should realize that it is just this sort of encouragement of the spoculn- tion-evil that makes the tickets tho scarcer If speculation were not pos siblo or profitable, there would be hundreds of tickets which would not be applied for. These tickets would then naturally go to those graduates and undergraduates who should have have them. One has no right to kick about the tickets being scarce if one tries to get tickets from spectators. | Don't kick on that score anyway. The ticket department is doing all that it possibly can to aid the situation working night and day, and IL does not become true Yale men to com l plain.

THE SPECIAL LESSON,

The refusal of the United States circuit court of appeals to accept bail for Charles w. Morse must have been exceedingly disheartcning to that i- nancier. Mir Morse is man of more than ordinary ability but mas been caught in the swirl of vicious system which has drawn him In to his ruin, He has taken part in the. general race for wealth and power and has lost.
 Doubtless Mir Morse did not deIb
 crately plan to victimlze those who lost by his appropriation of their de- poslts, but he did nevertheless by hs acts, if not by his intentions Some declare they have no sympathy for him as he had none for those whom he wronged. But has 1t occurred 10 many that there may be some truth in the statement, said to have been made by Morse that he is the victim of a system? He has been one of I number who have used the same methods of financing great industrial or other schemes. All have particlpat- ed in the same sort of frenzy. Ii Is not enough to say that 1t is hoped She sentence of Morse will have q sal
 utory influence on others. The catch ing of one man will not be enough, while the system continues. Morse may be put behind the bars, but as soon as public interest subsidies he will be practically forgotten, As long as the system is workable, and othols have tried 1t without being caught there will surely be some daring in- dividuals who will venture too far and go the way of Morse There is no real end served by waiting until a new yic- tim appears to be convicted and sen

tenced Tho old adagc An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure" suggests that the best cure for situation such as that created by Morse is to prevent the likelihood of It by destroying the system known as high finance Through all the hIs- tory of this country self-intcrcst has been taugnt as the dominant economic principle; that nothing should be per Jnitted to withstand a mans effort to ,amass wealth; that morality has noth ing to do with this effort, as purely an economic matter. Mir. Morse has acted in accord with this type of economic teaching, which underlIes tho entire system. Mir.

lication of what he said in the Lon don Daily Telegraph In his conver- saton he gave the impression that "a majority of the German people are hostile to Great Britain" and said some unpleasant things about the con- duct of the Boer war, It was simply one of those times when the kaiser broke away from the ordinary monot- ony and routine of the life of royalty,I
 However diverse the political ele- ments may be in the reichstag, all were unit in condemning the kaiser in the debate which took place onI Tuesday and yesterday, The extremeI liberals have declared that this break of the kaise. means the beginning of a conflict between the crown and par-. liament that may end in Germany having a ministry responsible to par lIameut and not to the crown" Sol sharp was the debate on all sides, tneI listless speech of explanation by Chan cellor von Buelow, setting forth the matter in as favorable light as pos- sible, seemed to have no satisfactory effect in assuaging the feeling of the members of tho relchstag,
 The chancellor in endeavoring to find reasons in eXtenuation of the kai- sers conduct suggested that troubles some times arose on account of the kaiser's idealistic thoughts, purposes and efforts" but the chancellor was quite sure that tho excitement would lead the emperor in future private conversations, to exercise that reserve which, in the interest of uni- form policy and the authority of tho crown, Is indispensable" Chancellor yon Buelow Is doing what he can to serve his emperor, but he does not speak as a man who Is confident of his ability to overcome the situation tae emperor has created

AS the affairs of the country now stand. MT. Root Is needed more in the senate than In the state deprtment. He Is not only man of the hleest char acter. but lie has also proved himself an administrator of the first rank; he Is everywhere recognized as a diplomat second to none of he great figures or history appearing on the stage Of na- tions in the last hundred years and as a lawyer it may now be doubtea whether any country now has man who can be regarded as his superior Add to these qualities lls well known devotion to the public service. and you have n man fitted. beyond any other now in public life, to restore to the Em- plre state her ancient place In the counsels of the nation and, Tn large mart. to the national senate Itself that strength and popular confidence which has been so much diminished in recent years.

TO the Editor of the Kick Column;
 Those who say you can't believe anything you see in the newspapers simply talk nonsense and impugn their own papers of discrimination. Newspa- per statements, as q general rule, are more truthful in essential detail than are those of ordinary conversation, and the wonder Is, not that the papers make SO many mistakes, but that they arc go few, The humllnting fact is that newspapers arc not very efficient in the way of creating public opinion, In many instances, and often in very important ones they cannot even ascer- tam what lt is Good proof of that statement Is to be found In the act that not one newspaper in the country really knew who would be elected president, and they could hardly have failed to do SO if the popular determination were Il matter of journalistic creation,
