A Jury OF women drawn from a regular

gence and dispatch which won tribute
from the court must be thought to come
pretty near the realization of women s
dreams of political equality.
It has been left to the state of Wash

plcte feminine emancipation. Eastern sur
fragist leaders may profitab!y study the
methods by which their sister campaign
ers in the west have obtained the grant
of full suffrage rights. Carping critics of
the other sex may see in the privilege
accorded the Olympia woman jurors OF
wearing their hats in court the impossi-
bi,itv Of An entire elimination of sex dis
tinction even under equal laws. But this
is q t-ifie. and of .trines the law takes
no note.

have a number of dual races. 1t has
been practically decided that two or
Princeton's opponents will be Yale and
Cornell. Nothing further than this has
been announced from Princeton, but the
dates and courses for these races will be
made known shortly.
The question now in which there is the
most interest is, Will Princeton compete
and if SO in which? The Tigers know
that they can compete at Poughkeepsie
whenever they wish to. Just what the
attitude Of Harvard and Yale would be to
adding Princeton to their race on the
Thames is an open question. There are
two natural difficulties to this PROPOSE
ton. One is that the Thames river,
where the race is rOwed every year. is
too narrow for more than two crews to
row abreast on even terms. Furthermore,
the course is not straight and all races
which have had more than two contestants
have been most unsatisfactory. The sec
ond objection is that Princeton, being
newcomer In intercollegiate rowing. could
hardly give either Yale or Harvard a
creditable race for number of years The
two latter would hardly enjoy the presence
of third crew that could not give them
a good race. 1t will take time to solve
these difficulties, and 1t is more than
likely that Princeton will wait until she
has shown what her crew can do against
such Fights as Yale and Cornell before
venturing into big regatta.
Within the last week the crew candi-
dates have been called out at three big
universities and each reports a record
breaking number of candidates for the
different crews. At both Yale and HarA
ward more than 200 men are candidates
for places on the varsity eight and four
cared crews, while at Pennsylvania
there are more than 100 varsity men at
work. Harvard. on the first day. had up
ward Of 100 men to report for the fresh

Attacks Club Proselyting.

James +. Sullivan struck a chord In
which every lover of clean athletics SYM
pathizes when he pronounced In favor of
some rules which would prevent the big
athletic clubs Of the country from re-
cruiting their teams from the smaller
clubs and likewise from using athletes in
college. Mr.. Sullivan would prevent this
by compelling an athlete to remain out
of a club for a period of two years be-
| fore joining another and to stop alto
gether the competition of college men
with clubs.
According to Mr.. Sullivan these meas
ures are necessary if the smaller clubs
are to flourish. 1t is a fact that clubs
like the New York 4. c., the Irish Amer
lean a. &. and the Chicago A. A. have
been built up at the expense of the smaller
clubs and the colleges. Amateur attn
