OLYMPIC GAMES AN
 ATHLEIIc MISFORTUNE.

It is an unfortunate thing for ana teur athletics that the Olympic games just completed in London should have been productive of so many misunder standings and SO much pickering. The continuation came with the quarter mile run which the judges declared no race and ordered to be run over again, A decision by which the American contingent refused to abide. It is well, however, for conservative thinkers to withhold judgment for a time, at least untH the full facts are reached by an investigation.
 Photographic reports say that 'ne American commissioners were unani nous in their condemnation of the sourse Of the judges and these men are all of them too wel known To' tbeir stand in purity of athletics in tbe mast to be accused of bias. On the other hand the London press in

those voting a majority of the state banks favor the deposit guaranty and a majority of the national banks op- pose it. It also shows the capital and surplus of the banks opposing the guaranty system to be $5,34O,0O0 as against s1,57O,OOO.
 The inference might be that the stronger banks oppose while the weak CT banks favor the system which would place them all on the same plane in so far as the confidence of depositors in their security is con cerned. This inference, however, the San Antonio Express thinks, might be erroneous. It is a fact, nevertheless. that some of the well established pri- yate banks as well as the national and state banks, insist that the pro. posed guaranty system would serve as a shield and protection for banks not properly managed and controlled at the expense of the well regulated banks and that it would encourage men to go into the banking business who are not qualified for it and not properly equipped, because the bank deposit guaranty would give the pub lie a confidence which might not oth- erwise be gained except through an established business worthily main tained.
 It is a somewhat notable fact that of the forty-nine private banks voting only eleven favored the guaranty plan, and it is assumed from the figures of capital and surplus that the thirty eight voting mo" represent the most substantial and long established pri- vate banks. Perhaps they regard the confidence they have secured as among their most valuable assets and are not inclined to share it with new corners.
 It is possible, however, that the idea of guaranteeing bank deposits and thus preventing the possibility of a

run by bank depositors who might oth- erwise become panic-stricken when there was no occasion for it may grow in favor if the plan can be so perfect ed through government supervision as to afford full protection against abuses of the system.

detailed accounts of the race give the same version the judges took in ren- dering their decision With two ex- captions the London press accuses the American runners of having entered into a conspiracy to beat Halsewell by fraud, by the expedient of pocket ing him, as racing parlance has it in this country. A grave charge is this and one which requires investigation and substantiation or else full win dication of our athletes from the charges. It is certain that Barrow s. Weeks would not stand for anything in this line and equally certain that James Sullivan, who has waged a con tinual fight against professionalism in athletic ranks during his whole con nection with the A. A. U., would be equally against it. Had the race been run according to American methods. where each runner has a lane to him self, this could not have occurred. Probably the American runner did jump to the front and take the pole, which he had a perfect right to do un- der our methods, in which event it was up to the Britisher to side step when he was ready for his sprint as was the custom of Lon Meyers in his races with George. Meyers always made George set the pace and would then come by him from the outside and this course was open to Halse- well unless as is alleged, there was a conspiracy against him, in which case. he showed lack of head work in being caught.
 Commenting upon the incident edi- torially the Daily News attributes it and other unfortunate occurrences to' the gambling element" and says: Tt has besmirched the whole character of the Olympic games and has brought us face to face with an aspect of modern sport which makes the re vival of this classic event an irony" If this be true there should be al cleansing of the Augean stables by some British Hercules. In this coun- try the gambling element is eliminated from amateur sports and We had sup posed the same state of affairs to ex- ist in England.
 The whole conduct of the Olympic games should be investigated, includ- ing the quarter mile run incident and the tug of war, and pending such an investigation the fair-minded will with hold judgment. If, however, the Brit ish athletic authorities fail to order such an investigation they must stand condemned and the sympathy of the athletic world will be with our ath- letes
 The stadium events have resulted in a glorious victory for American brawn and pluck eliminating in the wonder full showing of our athletes in the classic Marathon and the elimination of the idea that Americans were lack ing in stamina for distance runs in which the British were always sup posed to excell. It is an American victory which should not De taken from us by method of scoring diff ferent from that used in the past or by the introduction of events not re- cognized in the former meetings.

STATE UNIVERSITIES REFUSE CARNEGIE DOLLARS.

HEF USE CRHNGSiE DOLLARS ! There is a note of rugged republican l resistance to subordinating state uni versailles to private interests in the protest of the New Orleans Daily States to university professors being pensioned by Andrew Carnegie In a ringing editorial in it's issue of June I, that newspaper says:
 Senate bill No. 115 came up yester- i day on final passage, but owing to the fact that it had not been printed it was allowed to lie over. We sincere ly hope that it will be allowed to lie over forever. If there ever was a pernicious scheme to undermine the very foundations of higher education in the country than is contemplated by Mr. Carnegie's proposition to pen sion university professors, We have never heard of it!"
 Good! That is the sentiment of seIf-reliant Americanism. The propo- sition to make university professors, preachers and teachers and others pensioners on the fruits of exploita- hon by one of the most infamous mo aopOlies a civilized country has toIer- ated, is to make them "particeps crim- inis," that is, partakers in the fruits of crime. We do not believe that MT Carnegie in this is actuated entirely from principles of philanthropy, but the canny Scot sees in these subsidy schemes a shrewd method of entrench- ing the system of. special privileges through which he has extorted mil lions of dollars from the wage earners and consumers of the country, says the Oakland Inquirer.
 The Daily States continues its time ly comment upon the Carnegie system of subsidy as follows:
 The purpose of senate bill No. 115 is stated to be to allow the Louisiana state university to participate in the Carnegie fund to retire and pension teachers who have served twenty-five years The conditions attached to the privilege of participation in this fund are such as to revolutionize the prin- ciples upon which state universities are maintained and operated. The uni versailles virtually remain state univer- sities only in so far as that the state must pay their expenses out of the peoples tax money, while the state practically surrenders control of them and accepts the principles of control contained in the conditions by which the institutions become benfciaries of the Carnegie donation.
 When a great state gets ready to strike it's coIors and make terms with the maIefactors of great wealth. in order to get the benefit of their largess for it's teachers then indeed will it be time for every selfrespecting citizen to bow his head in shame. What sort of teachers can we hope to have should the state once establish the doctrine that Carnegie, and not the state, must be the hope of their de- ciining years? What character of po- liticaI economy, for instance, can we hope to have taught to our children by professors who, through the years of their active class work, are looking forward to the time in their green old age when they shall eat the bread that Laird Carnegie has generously pro vided for them out of the money he has unjustly wrung from the toiling millions of our countrymen?"
