Our Weekly Letter. -Yerkes Gives
Real Tariff Revision Its First
Chance.-Gets Aid for Independent

Monday, Nov. 20, 1908.
Ten days of tariff hearings have
passed and John w. Yerkes has been
the hero.
For a time 1t looked as If the tar
if Committee was to hear only re-
quests for higher taxes and Mr.. Taft
anxiously asked whether the people
who want low tariffs were ever going
to make themselves heard by the
Committee. Chairman Serene Payne

countrymen can make and sell the

II is understood that Mr.. Taft and

normal American products, and from
those which have shown that they can

TOBACCO SALE:-The sale Of a
majority Of the pooled tobacco crop
to the Tobacco Trust was closed last
week, at a price Of about II cents
pound, or $12,25O,OOO for the 10000
600 sold. The rest has been sold to
Independents for 100000. This is
an undoubted victory for the tobacco
associations, but it is purchased at
such a cost Of blood and peace and
suffering that even the managers of
the pool are not certain whether they
will ever try 1t again. Men who live
in the tobacco country say that it
will take generation TO overcome
the hatreds between former friends
and neighbors caused by the long
war.

THINGS TO THINK OF

Twenty years ago Denmark was one
of the poorest Kingdoms in Europe.
Today 1t is the richest, man for man.
and the wealth is most evenly divided
among the whole people. The Danish
farmers sell every year to England
butter worth 100000 and in that
country eggs from Denmark sells for
30 per cent more than those from
anywhere else.
What has made this improvement?
The highest authorities say it is
caused by taxation, which has made
it possible to improve the school sys-
TEN and the whole people.
"The Danish farmers have taxed
themselves till they have made them
selves rich" shrcwd observer once
said Kentucky farmers will some day
learn to do the came thing.
Make the best of everything;
Think tho best of everybody.
Hope the best for yourself

1t is a wealth no magnate can corner.
For this year the drought, excessive

of the best fruit will come from the

is but the reward of enterprise. But
the prevailing high prices viii also reach

The Impress of DR.. Eliot.

By two radical policies has Charles
w Eliot earned lasting influence as the
fruit of forty years in the presidency
of Harvard University The one is the
introduction of general latitude to the
student in the election of his studies;
the other the establishment of a gen
eral policy that collegiate athletics are
form of college sport and not
highly organized system designed to de
velop winning teams-at almost any
cost-to represent the college.
DR.. Eliot's own preference is that
the fortieth year shall terminate his
service. There is special interest, ac-
cordingly, in considering his own def
milton of the first revolution at Har-
ward Says he:
The wishes of the governing boards
and external circumstances all favor
ing IL, the system was rapidly deVel-
oped, Required studies were gTadu-
ally abolished or pushed hack; so that
urSt The senior year was made com
pletely elective, then the junior, then
the sophomore, and finally the fresh
man year was made chiefly elective.
NO required studies now remain eN-
ments of either French or German,
and few lectures on chemistry and
physics. None OF the former staples
are required, and no particular com
b1naCIOnS or selections of courses are
recommended by the faculty.
A wide gulf, here, between such free
dom and the old required course of two
classical languages, English mathe-
MATES, and philosophy. The change re-
veals the tendencies of the age An
education that set aside modern Ian
guages, science, and economies, for the
sake of Latin and Greek-however justi-
fable IN itself for the chosen student
could not prevail against the American
passion for utilitarian knowledge
The Yankee boy must be made capable
OF productive work. He must be given
culture in the operation, if possible;
but the first demand has been that
he must be fitted TO earn. DR.. Eliot
has not granted these premises. He
has not put utility before mental and
spiritual growth. But he has effected
meeting of purposes which has en-
listed behind American collegiate iusti-
tutions-as they have come one by one
TO his position-the support Of this
very element in our life which might
otherwise have been so easily alieuated
Reform in intercollegiate athletics has

in the games on his own campus. The

For with the coming of college sports
Tor the whole company of college men
must come also a contempt of the prac-
tice Of putting forward as representa-
tives OF those men players who are

utterly to reflect the true spirit of the
institution whose name they wear.

The Restoration.

Already there are signs in the com

election OF Taft has restored the conf
dence which for the last year has been
lacking or tagging, The restoration is
noticeable abroad as well as at home
The comments of the foreign press
show that Taft Is well thought of all
over the world and that the United
States Is all the better thought of for
having chosen him Presidents and these
comments were strongly supported by
the trading ia the exchanges.
One Of the most prominent business
men in the country WAS quoted the
other day as saying that while Tafts
election would not bring any cxtraor-
binary boom it would release a large
number of contingent orders and do
much TO stimulate the prosperity that
has been slowly returning. An equally
prominent tinancieT said that with
Taft's election would come an inflow
of foreign capital to help put through
the many constructive schemes that
have been held in allegiance for the last
year or more. Before the week is

along these lines. There is a better
