TKREArI SPORT.

After the excitement that has at
tended the progress of the Olympic
games at London has quieted down a
little and calmer judgment has It's
sway. il will be seer that the general
cause of amateur sport has been
6tad as a result of the meeting, IL
ia unfortunate that the British inter
nvetation of the word amateur" eN-
oeeds the meaning given the term IN
America. This is not novel, however
for our English brethren have insisted
ON the application Of their peculiar
rple for many years and naturally have
oome TO believe that they are right
ana we are wrong. The dificulty
arises from this rather than from any
~ingrained spirit of unfairness. oul
athletes, however clear their record
NAV be under the American rule gov
erning amateur standing, are con
sidersd largely in the light OF PROBES
SIGNALS by the British public.
The victories won by the American
are no the less satisfactory becaus'
they have been achieved in the fae'
OF adverse circumstances. The zeal o
some of the ofncials OF the games ha
gone 20 such extremes that the Ameri
can contestants suffered severely. Ys
IL would be unfair TO charge thAeth

the English public toward American
institutions. That the boasted British
fair play has received some very Sc
we're iolts during the time of the
olympiad at London is probably true,
but in the glory OF the victory that has
come to American stamina, skill and
strength there should be no bitterness
Of resentment against the losers. The
words of Captain Phillips at Santiago
will apply with some force here:
Don't cheer. boys, those poor fellows
are dying"

To the lawyer life's a trial,
To the poet life's a song;

To the soldier life's a battle.
To the teacher life's a school,

To the man upon the engine
LIES a long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler,
To the merchant life's a trade.
LIES a picture TO the artist,
To the rascal life's a fraud;
Life perhaps is but a burden
To the man beneath the hod.
Life is lovely TO the lover,
To the player life's n play;
Life may be a load OF trouble
To the man upon the dray,
Life is but a long vacation
To the man who loves his work;
Lies an everlasting effort
To shun duty to the shirk.

ing sound that might be materially

oerned. There need be no arbitrary
interference with enterprises and occu-
pations in which noise is to some ex-
tent inevitable, but a vast deal Of city
noise is wholly unnecessary. Even
this could be endured with more or

that most Of the W Affections

are traceable directly to the persistent,
continuous and unnecessary noises
which assail the ear and try the nerves

public sentiment to the Importance Of

ton is coming to the belief that most
Of the purposes of life Ear be accom-
plished without so much noise, most

harmful. The crusade should not be
confined to New York, but should be

OLD AGE

l
to the adoption of an old G pension
bill. a measure providing that relief
for the aged having passed the House
Of Commons by an overwhelming ma
jority and having been passed by the
Lords to second reading by a vote
which assures its early adoption.
The British Parliament has been
flirting with this proposition for years
and its certain adoption is due more
to party politics than to any conviction
among the members as to the merits
or ACCESSIBILITY of adopting of the
measure. The Commons passed 1t
largely for the purpose of putting the
disposition of It up to the Lords, the
general opinion being that the Lords
would reject the measure. The Lords,
however, have refused to be used as a
catspaw to pull Premier Asquith's
chetsnuts out of the fire or to provide
him n his party with an issue. Had
the Lords rejected the measure the
Liberals could have gone to the coun-
try with the claim that it had done its
best, but that It's efforts for the relief
of the aged had been frustrated by the
hereditary legislators. This would
have made a particularly attractive
campaign issue for the liberals in their
agitation for the abolition of the House
OF Lords.
The proposed law is the most liberal
ever attempted by n nation. 1t
provides that every British subject who
has attained the age of 20 years shall
receive out of the public treasury the
sum of $1.25 a week, on the sole con-
dition that be needs the money. No
mental or moral examination is needed
to get on the payroll. Everyone is
eligible without regard to color, previ-
GUS condition of servitude or present
character. The money is given as a
right and not as a favor, 30 no ques-
lions are asked. The recipient may
be a loafer or a criminal, but If he is
} a British subject and 70 years of age
he takes his place on the payroll with
| the most desirable and worthy citizen
t of the empire. The proposition tc

/. tory pensions, by which the employe

CADETS AND REGULATIONS.

Another batch of budding soldiers

could not bring themselves to obey the

II does not matter especially
that the offense was committed in'an
effort to perpetuate the traditional
custom of harassing the new students
at the academy. 1t was an orense
against military regulations. h hrst
duty of a soldier is to obey n his
last duty is to obey, and all the way
through his military life he is hedged
about by the necessity Of rendering
obedience to the commands given him
emanating from proper authority con-
veyed through the proper channel
Therefore, the offense of the young
men who are being dismissed from
West Point with the approval OF the
president Is as heinous as can be com
mitted by a soldier.
II is much to be regretted that the
playful spirit of these normally
healthy youngsters should have LED
them into their present predicament
but this does not excuse them. Laws
are made to be enforced, army regula
lions to be obeyed, and nowhere
should more implicit obedience D'
given than at the military academy
where the young men are being trained
to become officers and gentlemen o
