POLO IN BROOKLAWN RINK
 WILL COMMENCE THURSDAY.

The amateur poloists will not start at the Brooklawn rink on Monday night as was at first expected, but will surely do stunts on the Thursday fol- lowing. The overhauling of the rink. which is stored with painters ladders and paints. is a Digger undertaking than was thought at first. It is the intention of the owners to fit the rink up in the best possible manner and rather tl@n disappoint the patrons of the game with a poorly heated rink they have decided to postpone the grand opening until Thursday evening, Jan. 2

ELIOT SAYS SOUTH
NEEDS BIG COLLEGE
GREATEST DEsIDERATUM is UN-
IVERSITY STRONG ENOUGH To
COMPETE WITH COLUMBIA
CHICAGO AND OTHERS.

NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-Touching
upon university education in the south
in his address last night at the banquet
Of the Tulane alumni association, retir-
ing President W. Eliot of Harvard uni
versity said:
The greateSt educational desidera-
tum of the south, yet the greatest edu-
catiOnal need of the nation, is a univer-
sity in the south of the first rank, which
should give poise and balance to the IN
tellectual forces of the republic-a uni
versity strong enough to compete in gem
crous chivalry with Columbia, with Chi
cago. with Stamford and even with Har-
ward"
DR.. Eliot had just had the degree of
doctor of Jaws conferred upon him by
Tulane, and in addressing the alumni he
spoke as one OF them.
THE bonds that bind our universities
together are growing stronger as the
years go by" he said. 1T could not be
otherwise with an increasing number of
Harvard men in our faculty and an in
creasing number OF our graduates cora
ing to Harvard Tor figher degrees. Is it
any wonder. then. that out west and
throughout the south and up north, too,
in spots, well-In-ormed men speak Of Tu-
lane as the Harvard of the SOUTH? But,
sir, we cherish a more daring and des-
perate ambition still. We shall never be
quite satisfied until far out west and
throughout the s,.Uth and all over the
union men may speak of Tulane as the
Harvard of the south and OF Harvard as
the Tulane of the north. Yes, we are
strong in the hope of greater Tulane"

The question came up at the last
meeting OF council. and was postponed
until the March meeting to consider the

DEMOCRATS THINK
CANNON'S JOB is SAFE

WASHINGTON, D. c., March AL
though a number of influential Democrats
look with favor upon the proposition OF
the insurgent Republican members OF
the house to join with them and elect
Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, or some
other Republican speaker in preference
to Uncle Joe55 Cannon, the rank and
file OF the minority party boot the propo-
sition as absurd.
The Democrats would rejoice in the
ov erthrow of Cannon, but they are UNI
willing to deliver their entire strength
to a handful of dissatisfied Republicans
to defeat Cannon with some other and
less Objectionable Republican.
Let the Republican insurgents bolt
their party and join with us electing
Champ Clark speaker Of the house, ana
we'll be with them to fare-you-well,'
said a prominent Democrat tonight
but the suggestion that We weliver
one hundred and seventy-two votes and
desert our leader. is absurd. The dissat-
isfied Republicans should do as the dis
satisfied element of the party did at the
St Louis convention in 1S96-bot ana
join the Democrats. They admit by their
open hostility to Cannon and the ma
iority of their party that they lack con-
fidence in their leaders. and then they
come to us and suggest that we take
one of their number and elect him
speaker"
The insurgents have twenty-four votes
and they could easily accomplish the
defeat of Cannon if they would decline
to enter the Republican caucus.
The Democrats will have 112 votes IN
the new house and should the "A Re
publican insurgents join them they woulc
have 1876 votes in the house, whereas the
Republicans could muster but lSo votes.
Undoubtedly many of the insurgents are
sufficiently determined to bolt their party
to accomplish the defeat of Cannon, but
some of them lack the necessary cour-
age and none will bolt unless all agree
| to the proposition.

FARM SELECTION TO
Be DISAPPROVEO
GOV. SMITH MAY DISAPPROVE
SELECTION OF FARM WHICH
WILL BE MADE DURING THE
PRESENT WEEK.

on Wednesday the prison commission
Of Georgia will make its recommendation
to Governor Smith in the matter OF the
purchase of a prison farm for the white
male convicts. SO the commission has
itself announced.
Where the farm recommended will be
located, has not leaked out. 1t is Known
however, that it will be somewhere IL
middle south Georgia, below Macon ana
somewhere within u radius of 60 miles OF
so of Hawkinsville. 1t is known, too'
that the commission has narrowed all bids
down to four farms, which it is now
considering.
The disapproval of their selection by
Governor Smith is entirely possible, not
withstanding that the day is late, and
that very little time remains between
now and April LIST, when the new law
becomes effective. This is indicated by
the governors knowledge that he will not
be hurried in his action, and that he will
look singly to the best interests of the
state, and the generally accepted fact
that he himself is not responsible for the
late date of the recommendation, the
commission having had that matter en-
tirely in their own hands.
