VIII BE Given q Chance.

1t will be extremely gratifying tt
lovers of clean and wholesome athlet
les to know that Zeke Martin, gradu
ate Of Vanderbilt University, will
hold the position of coach at C. M. A
this year.
Martin has for the past two years
been playing star foot ball as one
Of the ends for Vandy, and his rec
ord Is equal to that of any player that
has ever attended that institution
He is not only a foot Dall player OF
the first magnitude, but is a basket
bail player of class, holding the hon.
ors of being one of the members OF
the sll-southern basket ball team
His Drowess does not stop in these
two pursuits; but he is a base ball
player Of quality, an track man of
great ability. This last feature of
athletics, which to certain extent,
has been neglected at the school will
be borne down upon with a ven
geance.
The school next year will have
teams of all classes Of athletics in
the field and every feature of athlet-
les in prep school circles will be rep
resented by c. M. A.
Mr. Martins home IL in Mobile,
Ala, and during the summer months
he win travel through Alabama, Mis-
siss;ppi and Texas IN the interest Of
the school, and his reputation as an
athlete viii win for him many admir-
ers among the youths Of the
country ant especially will he be pop
uiar with the old student body.
hfWhile athletics will be pushed at
this school this year, not only single

from the regular course Of
study and each and every cadet that
tres for any special feature Of ath-
letics will first be- required to make
his CLASSES in acceptable form. Al
every one who tnowA. or gives the
matter any serious thought, athletics
have artendency ands do strengthen
the character Of the boy who pur-
sues them in the proper and right
way, and in the future as In the past,
it will be the intent and purpose Of
this school to have only the very
highest and ennobling character of
athletics. II not only increases the
boys physical strength, but It gives
him a physical courage and moral
courage that few other trainings will
or can give.

CHINA SEEKING ADVISERS.

The invitation Of the Chinese govern
ment to Professor jerks, Of New YORK
University, TO 60 TO Picking as an expert
adviser In finance Is significant and
auspicious. 1t indicates that the re-
publican government is not wise In Its
own conceit, but realizes that it has
much TO learn from Western lands and
that In some respects II can best learn
il By securing Western aids TO direct
the operations Of it's great departments.
The services OF Robert Hart In the
maritime customs and of Charles Cor
don in suppressing the TAPPING rebel
lion are still gratefully remembered.
The Chinese statesmen also doubtless
perceive the bitterly ironical circum-
stance that while for ages China has
been nation Of merchants and bank
ers, with a reputation for singular In
tegrity, as matter Of fact her public
fiscal system has long been about the
most inefficient and most corrupt in the
world. In no respect does she more
urgently need expert aid than In the re-
Mobilization Of her finances.
Such foreign aid has frequently been
sought for various purposes by many
countries, including China, Japan and
Persia. In former years the demand
was perhaps more often for military
and naval officers, and il is Indicative
Of the rise Of higher and more be-
nlgn STANDARD Of civilization to have
the demand shift In the direction OF
financial, educational and sociological
assistance. There is, of course, a
double good In the rendering of such
services. 1t gives Ito the country to
which they are rendered I'M improved
administration and 1t brings that
country into more direct touch with the
rest of the world.

AUTOS TO Already.

II seems paTadOXical that an auto
mobile should cost anything to man
who doesn't own it. Yet with the an
nouncement that shoes are TO be 20
per cent higher i'll price this fall comes
the explanation that this Is due to the
automobile. The leather dealers say
that so much leather is demanded now
by automobile manufacturers that they
cannot supply 1t for any purpose at the
old prices. In addition, there Is the
perennial declaration that cattle are
fewer and hides consequently worth
moro.
The automobile has been much
blamed as a cause and @ means Of
American extravaganza. The motor
car has been taken as typlfying the
american pace with its recklessness
of restraint and Of consequences, even
if they be debt and bankruptcy. Ex-
cesses always breed a corrective. IL

PARCELS POST BY ZONES.

An important step toward the estaD-
lishment Of n genuine parcels post
system was taken on Friday when the
Senate Committee on Post Offices ana
Post Roads amended the p0stoiilce
appropriation bill so as to recognize
the zone method of charges. n parceis
post operated on the fat charge plan
would be Of comparatively little value
to the public. The great field tor
parcels post service Is in the trans
mission of packages for relatively
short distances. ExOrbitant rates are
now charged by the express companies
for short hauls. and the express mo-
uopoly, coupled with the failure Of the
government TO develop modern par
GELS post. has kept down 10 minimum
exchanges between nearby points
Those exchanges are Of the greatest
economic advantage, bringing q city
and its outlying territory into close
touch and stimulating trade between
them. With proper parcels post sys-

procure a large part Of his supplies
direct from the rural producer, with no
Inflated charge for the services Of two
or three middlemen, and the country
purchaser can have the direct benefit
Of the cheaper and better shopping
available In a city.
The fat rate system penalties such
nearby trade, which is subject to enor-
nous development, FOR the benefit Of n
necessarily limited exchange between
distant sections like the Atlantic Coast
and the Mississippi Valley or the Mid
die West and the Pacific From n
practical point Of view 1t seems abb
surd to ask the people in this city
who wish TO receive daily parcels from
the eastern end of Long Island or
from New Jersey and Pennsylvania TO
pay two or three times the natural
rate in order 10 help meet the cost
Of carrying packages between New
York and st. Louis or New York and
San Francisco. The longer haul traffic
should pay for itself. 1t will never
reach large proportions, and subsidiz-
Ing it at the. cost Of localized eX-
changes would he a manifest economic
blunder

fat rate charges In small countries Ike

The platform adopted by the Republi-
can National Convention at Chicago
sensibly declared In favor Of graduated

method best adapted to American con-
ditlons. and If Congress accepts it its
merits will soon be established beyond
question. The Senate now has
chance to start the parcels post expert
ment on the sure road to success.

COMPROMISE ELECTORS
A Writer'S idea Of Why the Scheme
of Roosevelt Men Will Fail.


Sir: There seems 70 be bad flaw IN

sidelghts. although II does not meet with
the coloners Endorsement. AS | under
stand II. the plan may be brieny OUT

The same Presidential electors are 70

states where Roosevelt will have ticket
These names will appear In both the tart
and Roosevelt columns on the oallot'
When the votes are counted In November
II moro votes were cast in the Roosevelt
Than the Taft column. then the former
should have the electoral vote OF the
state or district, and vice versa Inc
deal seems to be built on assumptions
first. that the Republican party will have
two candidates running for President at
the same time; second, that the vote for
the two candidates shall be buncned IN
determining the margin between tho Re
publIcans and Democrats. Let We see now

that Taft and Roosevelt together polleo

Democratic candidate received moro votes

compromlse scheme the electoral vote
would 60 to either Taft or Roosevelt, as
the case might be- Is It supposaDle Tor

There will be Democratic donkeys In tho

But Colonel RO0sevelts claim that he

maries Is just as poor scheme ana no
more valid than Boss" Films com

chosen before the national convention, or
since. for that matter, were not selected
TO represent or vote for either Tatt or

Republican party, and that fact puts
Roosevelt out OF the running 20 far az

RECALLING THE GOATS.

According to William J. Bryan ne
does not deserve all the credit Tor the
apparent de-Ryanizing and de-be'-
montizing Of the recent Democrauc
National Convention. He says III tle
latest issue Of "The CommOner thaI
he really played 20 modest part III
tbe Great Publication, that he merely
turned on the faucet and allowed q
s'ereat moral force 10 flow IN upon 'he
convention" He admits That he knew
1rbere the faucet was and just WhaI
oressure there WAS in the stahdplpe'
He also takes credit for realizing tha'
a, least half the delegates were OF a
sort likely In the presence OF any 'nora'
or emotional emergency to take refuge
ounder the chairs"
Yet Mr.. Bryan glOries not lttie III

He gives the following graphic descrlp

landlord simply increases the rent so

and the tenants who are shOpkeepers
increase the prices OF their wares so

higher rent. The result Is that the
