PROTECTION BUT NOT INTER-
 MENTION.


 The Mexican forces making the at tack upon the federaiists in the City Of Mexico seem to be actuated by a desire to cause intervention on the part of this country. The indiscrim- mate cannonading and failure to re-. spect the International rules of war fare, whereby the foreign residents of the city are given no more protection than the enemy all points to this con-. clusion A desperate situation exists in the republics capital with no inn mediate prospect of it being changed until decisive victory brings it about. Madero in his caged position has poor control over the situation, while Diaz is placing all the responsibility upon him and assuming none himself. This attitude will not cause the United States to send an army of in- tervention into Mexico. The safety and protection of the Americans and other foreigners there will be demand ed and the government IS prepared to see that this. is assured, but interyen- ton is different thing. Such would mean an endless task for a large army, the sacrifice of hundreds of lives and the assumption of responsibility in that republic of guerilla warfare which is far from desirable. Wise action has been taken in the restraint thus far and there is every reason to believe that it will continue to prevail and that Mexico will be given every op portunity to adjust it's own affairs. Advice and assistance is ever ready but not to the extent of fighting to syiva if

CORNERS ARE ILLEGAL.

There is reason to believe that James Patten could well afford to pay the s4,000 imposed upon him for caus- Ing a corner in cotton, and then have l handsome profit left as the result of his operations. MT. Patten is a past master in operating ''corners" and he has gained and lost by such plunging as has characterized his con- trol of necessary commodities. That he should be fined no larger amount, an insignificant sum when it is real ized that millions often result from criticism. Yet it must be remembered many other big traders have done in this direction for so long that the practice seemed to be common prop erty for whoever dared to chance the risk
 The law has now been invoked and a. successful prosecution under the law made, establishing the fact that such action is in restraint of trade and unlawful. MT. Patten, the first to be prosecuted in pleading guilty was given a light fine, but it serves in the way of a precedent for the future Corners are illegal and warning is thereby given in a manner which should be convincing to any other who may hope to rise to the million aire class by this method of feecing the people. It is the effectiveness of he law which is the crowning feature In this prosecution and hereafter it behooves plungers to take that into consideration.

The Hotel Taft was the object of censure, primarily for the recent effect of sew era1 early morning dances there with Gertrude Hoffman, Gaby Deslys- and girls as guests of honor. Secondly it called attention to the amount of time some Yale students spend over there. The present open policy of the against Yale ideals. The truth is, undoubtedly that many Yale upper clasSmeE are spending too much time and money, as the News expressed it, over champagne at the Taft than get ii >- to know each other over beer at Mory's. And the hotel on these two or three occasions did certainly in ,troduce the Broadway element. But, in the main, the great majority of the men who come to Yale have too many moral stamina to be effected seriously by 6 passing troupe of cabaret girls.

 DR. ELIoT,S POSITION.

Ex-President Charles W Eliot of Harvard, who is also president of the National Civil Service Reform league, is either not consistent. or has been misquoted in a hearing in the Massa- chusetts state house when he was made to criticise the action of Pres ident Taft in placing the fourth class postmasters in the classified service just after election" and characterize ing it as a blow at true civil ser vice from the capital.
 This is in direct opposition. to what he must know, for the order of the president was issued three weeks be- fore election. and it has received through resolutions the endorsement of the league and MT. Eliot at Mill waulxee as a worthy extension of civil service, and the merit system. In de- claring this recent expression surpris- ing. the New York Tribune says: Tt is hard to square Dr. Eliot's atti- tude at Milwaukee with the remarks attributed to him in Boston. Anybody familiar with the spread of the merit system in this country must realize that if offices are to be put into the classified service the incunbents must receive whatever benefit may come from the change from an uncertain to a permanent tenure. It would be rank craftsmanship to empty the of fees just before transfer and to refill them with different placeholders just after transfer
 Such decidedly opposite opinions within such a short time and on matter of recent date seem inconsist- ent with pr. Eliot and particularly so when he is connected so prominently with the reform league in civil ser- vice

LAW SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.

According to figures compiled by the United States bureau of education khere has not been such a large in crease in the number of law schools In the country during the past decade but rather development of those ex- lsting with a marked increase in the number who have been graduated with degrees. and an increase by over one half in the number who are studying in the schools. The actual number of law schools in the country was 102 In 1902, while the past year showed 118 to be in existence. The number of students studying law in these schools increased from 13,912 to 20- 760 in the same period, the graduates increasing by a third. There were 3,524 graduates of the law school ten years ago while last year there were 1884. while law students having col leglate degree, doubled In the ten years. This Is an indication of the better training which Is being ob- tained and in fact being sought by the followers of Blackstone.
 Financially the law schools show a remarkable advance. The endowment funds Jumped from haIf million to nearly two million dollars. The grounds and buildings tripled in value and the total income in 1912 was s1.S6s. 900 as against s522.o0 in 1902. The ss7 900 volumes in the law school libraries of 1902 had grown to a3s,e9o last year. valuable addition to be facilities of fered those who are seeking know ledge in this direction.

Whether Vale wins or loses this years race-and the alumni expect her to win-the important thing which should be kept constantly in the fore ground writes Nathaniel T. Guernsey. 'S1 who rowed on the university eight four years, is that, speaking generally, success means someone's good judg- ment and failure means someone's poor judgment. This will make for sound business methods in the treat ment of this question and such meth ods will bring results.
 The man who can best coach the crew should be selected for this work, whether he be an amateur or a profes- sional. My judgment is-and no one with whom I have discussed the matter has differed with me-that there is no sound method in barring professional coaches If a professional oarsman knows more about rowing and can teach it better than an amateur. that is a very good reason for employing him. if the result sought is good row ing. I fear this may pass as rank heresy in New Haven at present. Twenty years ago it would have been rank heresy in Cambridge and sound doctrine in New Haven. At that time Yale was winning and Harvard was losing.
 Hearty support by the older alumni is pledged by Mir Guernsey for Coaches Hartman and Rogers. but he says that they would have greater confidence in the English stroke if Harvard's experience few years ago had been less unsatisfactory and if Courtney of Cornell had changed his style after studying rowing in Eng land.

 In basket ball, too, the Yale five came back in fine form Wednesday night by defeating Princeton after a hard fight 29 to 22. In hockey, Yale was not so fortunate and Princeton won to 2. During the winter Yale has developed an excellent team of gymnasts and in the meets that are soon to be held the gym team is ex- pected to make a showing that will place them well up for the Interco1- Iegiate championship.

New Haven, Feb. 13.-At a meeting of the Yale chapter Of Phi Beta Kappa. 29 men from the junior class were elected to membership last night, and among them was Erastus Window Williams of Yantic Conn. The highest average in scholarship for the first half of the college course was 3.66. made by kendriclS P. Burroughs or Cape Giradeah, Md. Nine men from Connecticut made the society.
 English is the most popular study in college, the records of elective courses completed last week in the deans of fee show. Twenty five main courses of study are open to the academica1 students, and only two, Scandinavian and Japanese, are not studied or these departments, English leads with 1205 students enrolled in it's 22 sub departments. In economies there are LOSS men, and 776 are studying some one or more of the 26 branch courses of history These statistics are for elective courses and do not apply to the freshmen, who have no free choice of work.
 Prof William Lyon Phelps course in Tennyson and Browning is easily the most popular, with 339 men taught by this one professor, in five divisions psychology, is studied by 555 men; 1S2 seniors are studying law courses In physics are 282 men, in mathematics B, in chemistry 241. in geology 187. and biology 233. Latin has 218 men in the various courses, and Greek has fallen to -155 The majority of these are sophomores and the statistics show conclusively the free use made of the elective system in the last two years.
