team have only Ave hits, three OF these.

combined with a sacrifice fly, served the
Green well. Ekstrom was not much Of a
puzzle for the Columbia batsmsn and after
he had been on the mound five innings, IN
which time he had yielded FIVE hits, he
was replaced by Morey, who held the local
team to three hits. At that however, he
had to pitch himself out OF several tight
holes, and did so with credit.
Columbia's fielding was superb, and not
a single error was charged to the Blue and
White. II was the best fielding game tho

play by Shaw and Kendl, which retired the
side when Rothwell seemed In temporary

THE COLLEGE, BACK TO
THE FARM.

1t is gratifying to note that the
great majority of the boys who gradu-
ate from the Third District Agricul-
tural School go back to the farm. Or
the graduates up to this time very
large proportion are either farming
for themselves, managing their faith
er's farms, or looking after the inter
ests of other large land owners. They
have not simply utilized the Agricu!-
tural School as a training ground away
from the farm. but the reverse. with
them it has been a case of through
the college, back to the soil.
Whether this is true of the other
district agricultural schools we do not
know. But that it should be so in the
case of the boys taking the course at
the Third District School is not at all
surprising when one recalls the
stress that is laid there upon the no
bility of farm work, on its high posi-
ton in the economy of the nation, OF
its growing Importance as an industry,
and on the rich returns that are yield
ed to the boy who is equipped for up
to-date farming. The school Wort,
there is an inspiration to the boys to
hasten back to the soil, not to hasten
away from it to the towns and cities.
Some few of the graduates, it is
true, have gone into other callings.
That is always the case. Some boys
find a taste developed in them for a
profession and enter other lines OF
work than the one the school is prim-
arily intended to promote. But even
these boys find that the thorough work
done in the elementary branches at
the school stands them in good stead
when they enter the medical or law
courses elsewhere, or go to the Tech
for a course in mechanics of some
sort
Whether he remains farmer OIL
adopts some other calling, the boy who
has gone through the Third Districr
School has reason all through his liff
to congratulate himself on the year
there spent. There is no doubt o
that. The work at this school builds W
a strong mind in a strong body i
accomplishes a most useful purpos'
with its boys, regardless as to whether
the country draws them or they are
allured into the fields of work tina
lies in the cities.

"BILL TOLD ME- TO DO IT."

The versatile Roosevelt in no way
shows his versatility more successfully
than in his ingenious methods Of
squirming out of bad positions and es-
caring the responsibility for past acts.
Take the Brownsville incident for
instance. Everybody recalls that. A
company of negro soldiers stationed
there shot up the town" The evil
dence was clear and conclusive, Those
who were not guilty shielded those
who were, and Roosevelt, then presi-
dent, summarily dismissed the entire
company in disgrace from the service.
AS a general thing he was heartily
commended, both by Republicans and
Democrats. for this action He took
all the credit to himself, at the time.
But that was a time when he was
not figuring on running again for the
presidency. Now that he is a candidate
the Brownsville incident takes on an-
other color.
The negro voter cuts considerable
fsure in a number Of northern states,
Ohio is one of them. Now the negro
voter must be seduced. to some en-
! tent. at least. from Taft if Roosevelt
is to carry Ohio.
But the colored brother remembers
Brownsville With a host of them it
obscures the fact that Booker Wash
ington once lunched with Roosevelt.
SO Roosevelt has found a way to
squirm ort of the responsibility for
the offensive act. Yes, even more than
that. He has found a way to kill two
birds with one stone to not only es-
cape responsibility himself but TO
throw. It where it will do the most
harm Aon poor Taft, himself.
Taft was Secretary of War when the
Brownsville incident occurred. So the
way lies open for a remuneration OF
responsibility on the part of Roosevelt
and the throwing of the blame or
Taft'S shoulders.
Pill told me to do it," is in effect
Rooseyelt's message to the negroes Of
Ohio and other states.
Il acted on TIE recommendation Of
Mr.. Taft when he was my Secretary
of War" declared the ex-president in
speech the other day.
OF course there is no use in Taft
protesting. Roosevelt has said it. and
Roosevelt will stick to it. 1t may be
one of the lies that Taft says the form
er president is constantly uttering, but
it will do its work in loosening Taft's
grip on the negro vote.
And what does Teddy care what the
president thinks of him or says )fI
him?
