STRANGE WORDS FALL ON
AMERICAN EARS.

Emperor William has been giving ad-
vice 10 the German university students,
and his words have found their way
through the deep sea cables and into
the American newspapers. They are
strange words to us on this side of
the Atlantic.
LESS beer and more sport" is the
advice of the Kaiser, summed up in a
phrase The unique feature of the
case is that the American university
is held up to the gaze of the German
student as the ideal which he should
make his own.
Less beer" strikes the American as
a peculiar admOnition TO come from
the ruler of the greatest eer-drinking
nation. But the Emperor says the col
lege club in Germany is damaging to
the bodies, minds, and morals of its
members because of the vast quantities
of beer they consume. He said to
them: Reduce your enthusiasm for
that form of amusement and increase
yoHr interest in sport. You cannot
find a wOrthier model than the Ameri-
can university, where the athletic side
life is admirably managed"
Over here we have been shocked at
the drinking tendencies of our college
boys, and we have been worrying our
selves into hysteria over the amount
of time devoted to football, baseball,
and track and field sports in our pub
lie schools, academies, colleges, and
universities. Instead we should emu
late the example of the old lady, who
said: I'm thankful it's as well with
me as it Is"

Mr.. Wellman has a fine chance Of
success" declared Claude Grahame-
White, the English aviator, today
Grahame-White, when asked 10 ex-
plain further, declared;
If ] should say what I really think
about the future OF aerOnauJics, people
would laugh at me. I believe that the
time will come when the public Will
look back upon such men as ! am
and wonder how We could have been
so foolish as to trust our lives in the
aeroplanes Of today.
Much depends, OF course, upon the
equipment of Mr.. Wellman's ship, with
which I am not familiar, but as a gen
eral proposition. I think there IS every
reason to believe that he can succeed
The time will come when trans
Atlantic airships will be as cOmn-On as
steamers are today, perhaps more so.
II most sincerely hope that Wellman
is successful and I wish 20 repeat

SPAIN NOT AS EASY AS WAS
PORTUGAL

Expectation that the overthrow of
the monarchy in Portugal would be
followed by similar action in Spain
does not seem likely to be realized in
the immediate future. 1t seems evil
dent that the government there is
prepared for emergencies, and that
there is no likelihood of a coup being
successful as readily as was the case
in Lisbon.
The frmness with which the present
ministry is handling the Spanish stu
alton gives promise that the dynasty
will not be upset without a struggle,
and with soldiers like Weyler in COM
mand it is not at all probable that
revolution in Spain would be success
full without a different sort Of fighting
from that which revolution in a Latin
country ordinarily means
But the movement in Portugal, par
ticularly if it is successful and if the
new regime shows its ability to cope
with the tremendous difficulties, inan.
cial and otherwise, which confront it
will undoubtedly have far-reachinG
effect upon all the monarchies which
border on the Mediterranean. Judging
the future by the past, nothing car

except acceptance by their rulers O.

subjects are for some better and highei
purpose than to pay the piper while

PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT
LOSES A LEADER.

The sudden death of United States
Senator Jonathan Prentiss DolIiver of
Iowa at his home in Fort Dodge re-
moves from the progressive political
movement of the nation a leader whose
influence for good has been stupendous
and whose passing is an event that
will be mOurned by friends of good
government in all sections OF the coun-
try
Senator Dolliver exerted as broad an
influence in directing public opinion
toward the solution of political, civic,
and governmental questions as any
man in public life in recent years.
Former President Roosevelt aroused
the public conscience, but when Col
onel Roosevelt stepped aside, and when
the masses looked for leaders to con
vert into specific law the sentiment
which he had called forth, Senator
Dolliver was one of the few who came
forward He lent all his powerful en-
ergies, his magnificent intellect, and his
magnetic personality to the construc-
tive work which the people demanded.
His achievements have been written
into the United States statutes, where
they will remain as fitting memorial
70 the man and to his work forever.
All people of ali sections and Of all
parties have lost worthy champion,
who, at this critical time in our his
tory, was sorely needed. There are
too few men of the character and in
telleet of Senator DolliYer fighting on
the side of humanity in the struggle
that now engulfs the nation, and in
which the issue, robbed of all Iocalisms
and beclouding questions, is popular
government. 1t viii only heighten the
sorrow that the people will feel to
realize that, in great measure, it was
his fight for popular government, for
the rights of man as against the rights
of property, that snapped the life-cord
of Senator Dolliver when he was but
fifty-two years old, at time when he
had attained the maximum of intel.
lectual power and should have been
entering the period of his greatest use,
