There is no doubt some selfish salts
faction in yielding to melancholy, aand
fancying that we are victims of fate;
in brooding over grievances, especially
if more or less imaginary. To be
bright and cheerful often requires
an effort; and in this respect, as in
others, we require to watch over and
manage ourselves, almost as if we
were somebody else.-Sir John Lub-

PROTEST ENTERED
Graduate" Says Yale Has No Need for Rival Paper
 to News.

The following letter is printed In the Weekly.
 Editor Yale Alumni weekly: Sir-l, is time to enter protest when a Yale man undertakes some thing that is prejudicial to the inter- ests of the university and her student organizations. This Is apropos of the report that a rival paper to the News is 10 be established. It would he ab- srrd to suggest that the News itself would be harmed by such a rival, but the spirit in which the new plan is conceived will unquestionably be dis countenanced by the student body.
 It seems inconcevable to graduates that scheme avowedly founded with the express intention of inJuring an es- tablished Yale organization and backed by outside interests that have been heard from before on York street, should be permitted to exist for an in- stant.
 It Is as strong Yale tradition as any other that every new undertaking on the campus must have as it's one aim the advancement and welfare of the student community, with It's at- tendant activities and organizations, Such a spirit of anmoslty and bad grace as is evidenced by the proposi- ton in view Is utterly foreign to Yale and ought to be effectually suppressed by college public opinion.
 Whenever a new Yale institution is proposed that can prove It's ralson etre and justify It's existence, 1t will be welcomed with open arms, but when an uncalled for attack Ie made upon any Yale organization, 1t is time to call a halt.
 Graduates and undergraduates re eminently satisfied with the Yale order of things whereby each distinct field of activity is provided with it's respective gani2atIon. and it Is highly improba- ble that any student or group of stud ents is going to upset tht order by in- troducing a rival paper, athletic team, musical club, dramatic association chess ar debating team or any other or ganzation In competition with those in existence.

PRESIDENT ESCAPES
Falls Backward With Fractions Horse Into Creek in
 Rocky Gorge,
MAN AND MOUNT UNINJURED
Dropped Ten Feet Into Stream--Mrs Roosevelt Ills Companlon--
 Ride Continued.

Washington, June 3,-President Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon had all exceedingly narrow escape from a serious accident while horse back riding in Rock Creek park. Mrs. Roosevelt was with the president, ld rumors of the incident, which gained currency last night, were denied at the White House at the time, as neither the president nor Mrs. Roose- welt spoke of the occurrence upon their return. The rumors came from the occupants of several carriages who saw the accident,
 The president was riding new horse, young animal. The party rode down through cut In q bank. fordea a creek, and were ascending the bank on the other side. The presidents horse reared. the president leaned forward In the saddle, ana threw the reins down in loops so as to avoid pulling the horse backward. NShIl bll lidillllib lllt AiH VI lit bullh the horse reared second time, and the president leaned forward again. but the animal stood up straight on It's hind legs. and then went over backward into the creek with the president Feeling that he was going backward the president slipped from the saddle and fell into the creek close beside the horse, which landed on It's back The horse fell on the down. stream. side of the president, who, real 2ing that he would be in danger from the animals feet, should the horse turn towards him, got out of the way as rapidly as possible. The horse, however, turned over from the president and got up. He was caught at orce. The president remounted and rode for an hour and a half be- fore returning to the White House.
 The fall from the horses back to the stream he'd was distance of more than ten feet. The stream was about two feet deep, with an ex- ceedIrgly rocky bed Neither the president nor the horse received tho slightest injury.
 President Roosevelt's two regular riding horses were not in condition for use yesterday The presidents or derly wished 10 try out the new horse but the president took 1t upon himself to do this. He regards the horse he rode as a good one, but, being young he has a tendency Co rear up on slleht provocation, The president was dressed in khaki and tho fact that he got thoroughly wet did not become apparent to those who saw him after the accident Several carriages which had crossed the ford just ahead of tho president stopped and the occupants wero alarmed at what was happen ing,
 Thc experience with It's many ser ious possibilities, has not dulled 'tnc edge of the presidents pleasure in riding and he shows considerable qualification In the test of his horse manship Both times the animal rear cd, he lnstinctvely threw himself forward, so that his head was direct ly beside that of the rearing animal and the rens being loose had no ten denc! to pull the horse backward.
