Good Radiance.

In a. few days work will be begun in
the demolition of the old Sixth street
station by order of the President. This
order was issued despite the protest of
those who had hoped to make use of the
old station building during the next few
months Ii was urged that the offices
COULD be utilized for clerical purposes and
that the old train shed might be valuable
FOR the storage of the exhibits sent to the
International tuberculosis congress. The
plan of immediate destruction was per-
sisted in. however. and. thus the ancient
building win pass.
The decision in this case was a wise
one when the dong record of delays and
Inadequate equipment at the capital is
considered For many years the govern
ment has made shift with an insufficient
Housing outfit, ekedng out here with a
lented building and there with a crowded
one because of the parsimOny unbusi-
nesslike neglect of Congress to provide
proper facilities for transacting the pub
lie affairs The great trouble has been
mat the standard was too low. Any
thing was good enough for the govern
lnent Today the departments are suffer-
ing seriously from shabby equipment
scarcely tolerable by a fourth-class COR
Ioration.
If the Sixth street station were not re-
moved in this summary manner 1t would
probably be utilized conveniently, and in
p few months it would seem to be indis-
ensa bic. So il. would stand, probably
Tor years to come a handy place for meet
ing emergencies, for tucking in a small.

nent against immediate appropriations

dotted with Just such miserable make
iifts. and il is matter for general con-
1ratulation that the President has insured
the dsa ppearsnce of what might prove
be too strong d temptation to the gov
crnment officials and too ready an excuse
for congressional inaction.

Discipline at Harvard.

The correspondence just printed be-
tween President Eliot of Harvard and
Messrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Robert
Bacon regarding the punishment admin
istered to two undergraduates for an Of
Tense against the library regulations con-
tains the germ of the issue now before
the American people the subject of
sport and scholarship. The facts are sim
pie Two men were detected in breach
of regulation. and one. in addition, was
found to have given a false name. They
were placed on probation in accordance
with the fundamental rules of the institu-
ton, and if they had been in no wise dis
tinguished outside of the field of scholar
ship it is altogether probable that no
more would have ever been heard of the
case beyond the precincts Of Cambridge
But it SO happened that these were espe-
cially distinguished members of the col
lege community, both being oarsmen of
considerable note Their punishment car
ried with it the withdrawal of all sport
ing privileges, and they therefore became
Ineligible to row in the interuniversity
races at New London this week. This
fact evoked a joint appeal by Mr. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Bacon for the reinstatement
of the men. with the result that the
President of Harvard has replied in terms
which must be extremely distasteful read
ing at Oyster Bay.
The highest principle in sport Is fair
play, honor, squareness of conduct in all
respects. There can be no real sport un-
less every participant respects every rule.
The man who sneaks or tries to play a
trick has no place on any field of ath-
letic endeavor as an amateur. The man
who sneaks or breaks rules outside of
the athletic field Is likely to break them
there. To encourage trickery or sneaking
in any line by condoning it for pur-
poses of collegiate advantage in sport is
to put a premium on observation-disclosures
in all activities of life. The strongest
argument that can be made for col
legiate sport, beyond the point Of physi-
cal development. is that it teaches the
doctrine of squareness. The President of
the United States has himself said some
thing about this in his writings. and 1t is
not to be conceived that with President
Eliot's reply before him he will be dis
posed to press the point further.
This incident should have it's wholesome
effect. 1t should remind the country that
there is something far better in university
work than the development of celebrated
quarterbacks. strokes. pitchers and sprint
ers. Many Americans have conceived the
idea that university career reaches its
climax in place on the varsity crew or
team regardless of class records or honor
marks. President Eliots position may
not be popular with such citizens. but it
nevertheless is to be commended as In the
fullest degree expressive of the highest
principle of education.
