JUSTICE BREWER, THE
ELDER BROTHER.

We don't know that anyone ever
called the late Justice Brewer the
elder brother of present-day Ameri-
cans, but that is about the place he
filled in the intimate affairs of this
nation.
The death of few men in public
life will be SO keenly felt as that
of this honored Justice of the STU
preme Court.
A man of brilliant legal attain
ments, the later years of his life
have been marked by the good,
sound advice he has given his fell
low countrymen. His public adj
dresses and newspaper interviews
on matters of public Importance
have been read with the widest in
terest by the American people. He
sensed the spirit of the times with
an accuracy that is given to but few
men, and although tendencies did
not always please him and he was
not slow to say so, he was, never
theless, vigorous healthy-nlinded
optimist. He criticised and ex-
pressed regret without dropping to
the level of the soured, carping
critic. Advancing years mellowed
him.
He advised and exhorted his
countrymen in the spirit of the eN-
perienced, good-natured, big-souled
elder brother. His advice was not
always taken. He was big enough
and old enough not to expect it. He
gave his ideas on the situation, sat
is6ed that as much of his advice
would be followed as is usual
among young people.-Evening

SPORTS OF A DAY
YALE ANXIOUS TO
RACE TIGER GREW
Planning Busiest Season in Years
For Next Spring-May Also
Row u. of P.

New Haven, Dec. 23.-Nothing has
been definitely decided upon as yet,
but it is understood that the Yale
crew will engage In more competition
next spring than in many years. Last
season Harvard was Yale's only COM
petitor. Next year the Harvard re-
gatta will, of course. be the feature
of tina seasons programme, but it
will not be the only race.
Capt. Elliott Frost is in favor of
giving the crew all the work it can
stand. He believes that Yale defeats
at the hands Of Harvard the last two
years were due almost entirely to
lack OF real work and experience. He
e.ieves that If the Ellis can get q
couple Of good races under their belts
before tackling Harvard their chances
of downing the crimson will be con-
siderably improved.
1t is considered almost certain here
that a race will be rowed against
Princeton, and it Is likely, too, that
the varsity will be sent to Philadel-
phia, thought whether it will be to
row Pennsylvania or in the Ameri-
can Henley is not known. Yale has
entered into correspondence with
not probable that the Tigers will de-
cline the invitation to row now that
the faculty has given its consent.
Yale rowed Pennsylvania two years
ago, but had to give up the race last
year because of inadequate boathouse
facilities. The new boathouse wila
be completed and formally opened
all the spring work. With these i'm
proved facilities Capt Frost believes
his crew can handle three races with
out any trouble.
