Mexico city, Sept. 29.-Col. David
DE la Fuente, former minister Of com
munications and public works in Gen.
Huerta's cabinet, has been put for
ward as a presidential candidate by
the so-called Liberal Republican party.
This makes the third nomination for
presidential honors. THE Liberal Re-
publican candidacy was flrs. offered to
Gen. Auerelio banquet, minister Of
war, but was declined by him with the
assertion that he was not ambitious
to enter the race and would not &C.
I cept the candidacy Of any party. DIR.
Gregorio Mendizabal, former aena-
Tor, was named for the vice presl.
dency with Col. De La Fnente. Both
have accepted. The naming Of this
new ticket is not generally regarded
as a matter OF great political import
ance since the sphere of influence OF
the Liberal Republicans has no great
following Their organization consists
chiefly Of a group OF congressman who
constitute a wing Of the opposition in
the chamber of deputies TO the catho-
lie party.
Lively interest is centered in the
announcement Of the recall to Mexico
Of the ex.president, Gen Porfirio Diaz
Coupled with Gen Huerta's announce
meut to the Mexican diplomats abroad
that the revolution has finally been
suppressed it has given rise TO all
sorts OF speculation, the chief Of which
is that the ex-president would be asked
to assume his place in the army 50
that his services would be available
for the war council IN event Of gen
eral outbreak OF hOstihties.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

that it is contemplating the con
struction OF another line Of it's own

President Taft is not in favor Of
Municipal ownership OF anything
himself, but recently he submitted
TO Congress a special message con
GLIDING that government construc-
ton of Alaskan railroads is the only
possible solution OF the problem OF

ATHLsTlcs AND HEALTH

University athletics and the con.
duct Of intercollegiate contest should
receive a more serious consideration
from those who assume responsible.
ity for these features OF American
college life. Too often any criticism
Of long established practices is re-
scented or ignored because it would
abolish or modify some firmly im.
planted customs. Only after years
of patient unremitting effort has
the plea for a safe and sane" Fourth
OF July led to a reform which will
soon evolve into a nationwide plan
OF national celebration. Persistent
exposure of the dangers of reckless
football contests with their attend.
n fatalities ea1not fail to bring
welcome changes sooner or later.
This is a most timely in
which to in%augurate a campaign
against athletic reeklessness. Con-
s%ervation is the keynote in cam
paigias of progress in all depart
ments OF national activity. Propa.
ganda for the conseryation Of Health
and life is directly furthered by this
more general spirit Of the times. If
college athletics of today arc a men
ace to health, they cannot escape
the attack of those who are alert of
every evidence of human extrava-
gance and waste. The enthusiasts
for physical education have hitherto
failed to emphasize the important
distinction between those strenuous
performances which tax the capaci.
ties of the body to its utmost (eom-
pretended in the term "athletics"),
and that exercise of the bodily func-
tons more appropriately included
under the designation physical ed.
ucation."
Europeans have a far happier *
preston for the employment of their
bodily activities in the word sport"
which implies the combination Of a
healthy spirit of pleasure and salts
faction with what we call exercise.
Such an attitude is almost unknown
here. Instead, there exists a form
of OVERRIDING that finds its chief re-
ward in the applause of the multi
tude rather than in the JOY of the
performance. Athletics" have long
been under the dominance of social
cd trainers" frequently men of
keen judgment aAd technical skill,
but usually persons without any
systematic acquaintance with physio-
logic truths. Their sole concern is
to turn out a winning team Or a vic
torious athletic giant.
The best intellectual feature Of
rival contest-the encouragement 1t
for each man to put forth the best
that is in him and TO exercise his
own ingenuity in the development
and maintenance of an efficient, SUI
perior body-is suppressed by the
advent of that guardian saint. the
trainer. 1t can be freely admitted
that the cultivation of PHYSICAL in
t|elligence furnishes a valuable as
set to man in developing co-ordina-
ton and promoting health and hap
pine IS. But when the results of Wig
orous sports or eXhausting struggles
are involved, something more than a
'paTdonable pride in al expanding
chest and swelling biceps" should
furnish the guiding motive. The OBJ
vious abuses of athletics must be
threshed out.
