 Ore hundred thousand people, among whom was Albert, Prince of Wales, saw the race.
 Oxford won through the superior condition of her men and the magni- ficent work of B. c. Bourne, her stroke. who clearly strengthened his reputation today as being the best oarsman in England. Towards the close Of the race the Cambridge men, particularly Stroke R. W. Arbuthnet, seemed to tire and the superior con- dftion of the Oxonians enabled them to gain steadily during the last fifth of a mile, until two and half lengths of water showed between the boats.
 By winning today, Oxford made 1t three straight victories.

 IN FIGHT TONIGHT
iSpecial from United Press

Paris. April 1.-Although Sam Langford is a favorite. in the betting on his fight with Sam MeVey, tonight, Parisians are pulling for McVey to win. McVey is a big favorite here. due to bis participation in numerous fights before the Parisians and a vic tory for him would make him the idol of the city.
 Fight experts. however, believe that the fight will last only as long as Langford wants it to. The Boston Tar Baby" says he is not in as good shape as when he fought Lang in London but he hopes to make quick work of McVey. Even should Lang ford find himself the complete master of McVey it is probable that the fight will go at least. 10 rounds just to please the crowd.

TAFT TO FIGHT.

MR. TAFT has practically been forced into
i J. his determination to fight the Republican
insurgents on their own battle-ground. He could
not avoid the conflict longer. And If the view
taken by the Washington political observers is IN
any measure correct. lively times are promised
when the President begins his invasion OF the
.i-lS<1dle West the stronghold OF the insurgents
During the recent session Of Congress, IT deyel-
oped clearly what had long been suspected that
no matter what the President might do, the de-
termination Of the insurgents was TO unhorSe him.
Personal ambitions disclosed as one OF the
potent forces behind the insurgent movement, and
LaFollette is the one who seeks the political re-
ward in his candidacy for the Presidential nomi-
nation
Even if Mr.. Taft had pursued different course
when he FIRST assumed Office, it is doubtful wheth
er he could have halted the force of the insurgent
movement He might have broken its back, and
might have put LaFollette out Of the running,
but the President at the beginning of his term
listened TO the seductive whispers OF Aldrch and
Cannon and their kind, all OF which brought griSt
20 the insurgent mill. The President had to re-
treat from the Aldrich-Cannon camp in fact those
valiant warriors for privilege left the President
70 hold the bag" The consequence is that the
insurgents arc numerically stronger in the House
and Senate. If they not stronger in the coun-
try at large.
In going 10 the West determined to fight it
out with his political enemies, supposed TO be
members of his own party, Mr.. Taft faces Pc
culiar situation His party is divided in both
House and Senate and Tie Republican party as
represented by the President controls neither the
House nor the Senate
There will be many to admire Mr. Taft for his
courage in thus deciding to fight for his political
life for that is what he will be doing, but unless
the insurgents have greatly impaired their strength
she Republican party will face the next campaign
with seriously shattered ranks

EnuCATIoN I'M TEXAS.

~r~ He State of Texas contends that il is making
4 more progress in educational matters than
any other state in the union-that is, progress in
the erection of school houses and the development
of its educational system
During the last full school year, 643 public School
buildings we're erected in the common school dis
tricts of the state and l27 in the independent
school districts This is average of little
more than two school houses a day-a very fine
record for Texas.
The average cost Of the TO school buildings
has been S3340 During the same scholastic year
the people expended for school furniture, appara-
tus and Libraries the amount Of $2026,23O, for the
repair of schoolhouses already erected and making
additions thereto S69I ,899 and for the purchase
of school sites, Sl46,320.
The rural high school law enacted by the thirty
second Legislature authorizing the classification OF
the country schools and the establishment OF rural
high schools, will result in a systematization and
correlation of the rural schools Of the different
counties of the state and will result still further
in the erection Of better school houses and the es-
tablishment of many needed rural high schools.
The State Department of Education has just re-
ceved from the printers $4,000 copies of a course
OF study for the public schools, covering u years
or grades Of work and including regular four
years high school course OF study together with
four years course in agriculture, four years
course in domestic economy, and a four years
course in manual training.
The record of what other states are doing in
education should be incentive to our school
authorities in Delaware Happily, il looks as II
the next few years under the direction of the new
State Board of Education, would be progressive
years in Delaware. Certainly good beginning
with that end in view has been made.

FROM A LAWYERS POINT OF VIEW

~ HE address of the president of the American
4 Bar Association yesterday may be describ-
ed ftly by that overworked word, Sensational"
considering the time and place of utterance. Law
yers are usually conservative. not swayed by pop
uar cIamor. They pay due respect TO the preoe-
dents Of the past and try TO fit them to suit con-
ditions Of the present But the monster develop
ment Of corporations, which as Mr.. Farrar says,
stand like armed colossuses astride the gate
ways Of commerce and destroy every entrant who
presumes TO compete with them" has brought
about new conditions, which demand a new point
Of view.
The abuses that have grown up with this re-
markabie development of capitalistic combinations
we're wildly portrayed by the president OF the
Bar Association and he might we'll have asked how
much of the responsibility for these conditions
rests with the high paid attorneys who have de-
voted their services to their clients who have
brought about these conditions which make un-
rest
The services OF the ablest lawyers most OF them,
are devoted not TO welfare of the people or Of the
government but TO combating the government
and the people in their efforts TO extract them
selves from the meshes of the large captas-
tic net
It is we'll that Mr. Farrar spoke when he did
for his words may have the effect OF arousng
the great lawyers to the responsibility which rests
upon them, in a large measure, in plotting the
Ship of State through the stormy and troubled
seas in which according to the views of Mr. Farrar

THE ONE ROM.

n HE figures concerning the property Of the cor
Il poraton of which the Wilmington and Phil
adephia Traction Company is a part get at the
root Of the matter which has been disturbing the
Wilmington public. They should furnish food
for reflection on the part of the Public Utilities
Commission.
The people of Wilmington have not objected
to paying fair rate for service which would give
a fair return on legitimate capital represented
by the corporations. What they do object to is
to paying a rate demanded in order to return
dividend on properties that have been excessively
capitalized
The entire question is not involved in obscurity
and it should not be obscured by any side issue,
such as granting new franchises or listening TO
new schemes of relief on the part OF promoters
The question 10 be settled now is the relation
OF the public to the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company.

Editorial Opinion
THE duPONT ROAD.

Milford Chronicle.
If those who are opposing the
building Of the new boulevard by Cen
eral DUPONT, could look backwards to-
the time when the Delaware railroad
was being located, and recall the op-
position TO its building close 10 the
then large and prosperous towns To-
Gated at the head of navigation, they
would surely recognize the similarity
of their present opposition to the mis-
taken opinion Of sixty years ago, which
caused the Delaware railroad to %
built IN what was then known as the
forest" and which has really grown
up at the expense Of the towns, whose
citizens then discouraged its passing
through or near TO them. This Will be
the same condition that would follow
the driving of the new boulevard away
from the central part of Delaware
by those who either can not, or Will
not, see the advantages which will
accrue to that part of the state where
IL passes through. Just for one moment
let US suppose that the boulevard is
built along the western side Of Sus-
sex county, and that spur line is
built down the eastern side Of tho
same county, what would be the re-
suit Of even that situation? The at
traction OF thousands OF people to the
advantages of Delaware would not be
lost. but the benefit OF the travel TO
and from points below the Delaware
boundary would be lost to the east
ern part Of Sussex county entirely,
while the travel OF tourists to and
from Rehoboth. would be lost to the
western side or even the central part
Of the country. We believe in one bou-
levard down the center Of the county
to the Maryland line, and by its loca-
tion at such central part as will ap-
proach the county scat. the best inter-
ests of all the people and the state at
large will be served. II is natural
