arly to exclude the Japanese from
acquiring a controlling interest in the
soil of its $1,000 square miles of ter

Importance because only four other
states contain more land than Arizona.
The number of Japanese coming into
the state is steadily increasing. In
1900 there were 281 of them, and in
1910 this total had risen to 361; thus

THE PRESIDENTS CLOTHES
New York American.)

New York AmericanD
OF all his laurels, Admiral George
Dewey is in danger of losing the leaf
awarded him as the best-dressed man
in Washington. For President Wilson
seems to yearn to go down in history
as the Beau Brummel of Presidents.
Perhaps unwittingly Mr.. Wilson has
appropriated to his own wear the soft,
almost cream-gray cloth so becoming
to Admiral Dewey. The President is
fond of brown cloths, too.
On informal occasions he wears sack
coats. His frockcoats are of lustreless
black cloth and are bound with black
silk braid. With frockcoat he odorns
himself with a white silk four-in-hand
tie. His evening clothes have heavy
grained silk lapels. He dons pale
gray brocaded silk waistcoat with his
dinner jacket. His silk socks, scarf
and handkerchief always match in
color.
MIR. Wilson never carries a walking
stick. Although most officials are sport
ing straw hats, the PRECEDENT still
affects a soft felt hat Of gray O. light
brown.

Is THE LEAGUE DOOMED?

To ask such question concerning
the future of the Empire State League
seems to answer it. The answer comes
readily, because of the fact that al
ready the tendency to oyerstep the sal
airy limit has become pronounced.
In fact the view was widely held
prior to the organization of the League
that only strict observance Of the
saiary limit would make the league a
success. From this it may be seen
that the League was established on an
eff, a proviso, if one pleases to call it
such. This condition seems not to have
been observed very generally, even
though the season is less than two
weeks old.
Here and elsewhere throughout the
league the saying is current that the
signing of Otto Jordan by Valdosta
means the ruin of the League. Nobody
conversant with baseball seems to
think that a team with Jordan as man
ager could be secured within the sa :
airy limit of $1,000. 1t would seem I'M
reasonable for a team under these cir
cumstances to claim that it is within
the salary limit, when the manager ;
salary alone is probably $500, accord
ing to current report.
What is true of Valdosta is true Il
other teams in the league. If the Val
dosta team is above the limit, there are
other teams that are in the same boat
The management Of the local team
claims that it is within the limit. To
Judge from the quality of baseball
played by the team that is doubtless
true, as the locals are at the bottom of
the cellar. This objection to the over
stepping of the salary limit it not made
because the local team is a tail-ender,
but because the question here has nat
urally arisen as to why the locals can,
not put up a better front and STAY
within the salary limit, as is claimed.
1t is a question that concerns every
club in the league, just as it does Am
CIRCUS.
This is question Of vital interest TO
every baseball club in the league Upon
the manner in which it is answered
will probably depend the success or
failure of the league. Unless some
measures are taken soon to check the
tendency that is growing in the league
to get away with the pennant no mat
ter how much money it requires to get
together a team that can accomplish
this result, the Empire State League s
foredoomed to failure. President
Vaughn is pledged to secure a strict
observance of the salary limit. Is he
doing this, or can it be done?
That is the crux of the whole situa-
ton 1t is hard to prove that a team
is exceeding the salary limit. A player
may be actually receiving $120 month
for his services, when his contract
calls plainly in black and white for
only $85. Yet is the management Of
the league going to ask for positive
proof in such cases? Cannot external
circumstances be observed in such 4
way that very truthful decision MAJ
be. reached in individual cases? I'm
less the present tendency to try to get
a winning team without attention to
the cost, as is true in some cases, be
CHECKED, the Empire State League WI
likely prove short lived indeed.

SUPERIOR EDUCATIONAL AD-
VANTAGES

1t will be of vital interest to teach
ers and students in Americas and in
this section of Georgia to have brought
to their attention again the superior
advantages offered by the Summer
School of the South, which has been
definitely incorporated as part of the
University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
The work done at he Summer Soho Il
of the South is by no means in compe,
tition with that done by the summer
session of the Georgia State Normal
School. 1t is mere in the nature OF
supplementary and more advance l
courses, which many of the teachers OF
this section will desire to pursue dur
ing the summer months in the pleas
ant altitude in which the Tennessee
university is situated
For the benefit of those who are in
terested in these courses and in secur-
ing further information concernin&
them the current al aouncement from
the Supervisor of Publicity, Professor
George Herbert Clarke, who is pleas
antly recalled by number of friends
here, is given herewith:
The Summer School of the South,
now definitely adopted as part of tn !
organization of the University of Ten
nessee, will hold it's twelfth session
from June "a to August /, 1913, and
very low rates will be obtainable on
all railroads of the Southeastern Pas
senger Association and also on the
Southwestern roads.
This school has, throughout it's his
tory, been extraordinarily successful
and influential. During the past eleven
sessions we'll over twenty thousand per
sons have been enrolled as students
and it is safe to say that the great ma
jority of these are among it's most ar
dent admirers today.
From the outset, the Summer School
of the South has made it a matter Of
policy to secure the services of the
most able and eminent men obtainab'2
in their several departments from the
best universities of the land. In addi-
ton to this, it provides for popular en-
tertainments, lectures, theatrical per
formances, and famous series OF
concerts constituting what is known as
Music Week, in every instance seeking
to secure the best possible talent from
both the United States and foreign
countries.
In this way very happy program
combination has been worked out, pro-
viding for six weeks of serious class
room work on the one hand and for
daily diversions of a high grade chau-
tauqua quality on the other
Knoxville itself, the seat of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, is one of the
most beautiful towns in the entire
South 1t is situated in the mountains
of East Tennessee, on the Tennessee
River, and has population of some
seventy-fye thousand. The campus on
which the Summer School is held con-
tains forty acres and is provided with
ample equipment in the way of class
rooms, laboratories, dormitories, etc
for the care of the great throngs that
annually register as students. Last
year the faculty numbered nearly 100
and that number will be exceeded this
year. The total enrolment last year
was 2,40S.
The course of study offered by the
Summer School cover the three follow
ing fields and number, all told, forty
departments of instruction: % pro-
