The American contestants were sue

scientific training. and next. on ac-
count OF their morale that is to say
their minds were made up beforehand
to win Finally, their intense patriot
ism. when pitted against other nations
was an added reason
Scientific training alone cannot W
in my judgment, without moral train

1etes were without the first as they
came from a poor country. but with the
other two attributes they did splen-
didly. Not only the body but the

We Agree to It.

We are glad to note that whenever
Maine newspapers call attention to
Names desirable winter climate they
almost invariably depend upon Bid
deford for facts to point the moral
and adorn their tale. This is as it
should be. Under normal conditions,
Biddeford and vicinity can be depend
ed upon to provide the standard for
an ideal Maine winter climate.-Bid-
deford Journal
That is without doubt true. We
would not attempt or wish to contra
dict the Deacon's claim. Under nor
NAL conditions there is only one spot
in the Eastern states that is not beat
en- a days journey by wireless, by
good old Biddeford. Now we would
modestly insist that Augusta and vi
cinity are right up in that class, too.
You admit that, don't you, Deacon?
"Yes?" Good! Now, then, EVERY
body knows that Augusta and vicin-
ity has more normal conditions" than
any other spot on earth.

fnsubordinate Pupils.
(Kansas City JournaD,

1t is discouraging to note at times
the pitiful incompetency of school au-
thorities in handling obstreperous chill
dren. Frequently of recent years there
have been strikes of school pupils
against school government and in a
number of instances such acts of out
lawry have been successful. Sometimes
a popular pupil has been expelled for
cause and his young associates have
rallied to his support with the strike"
as weapon for bringing authority to
its knees. 1t not infrequently happens
that school 'frats'' take it into their
heads to run things and strike" when
opposition develops.
This is a most unfortunate modern
tendency and should be earnestly dis
couraged. Bearing no relation what
ever to organized labor, it cannot be
argued that the pupils of the public
schools are engaged in worthy emula-
ton of their elders. The climax seems
to have been reached in the little town
Of Sayerville, N. j.. where the school
board has decided to permit boys to

sion of the rights of personal lib
to understand. as a result of con-
tinuous blast from at least three dali
ly papers, that the scholars who do
not drink or carouse have no right
to object to association with maudlin
and quarrelsome and even riotous pa
irons of the saloons. If non-drinkers
do not like these things they can go
away, but they have no right to at
tempt to suppress the fellow who
buys the merchandise of the rum
trust and voluntarily sets about fit
ting himself for a lunatic or criminal.
Maine believes in law and the sur
vival of good over evil have been dali
ly abused for more than half cent
ury because they think sober peo-
pie have rights as we'll as drunkards.
President Powell has a hard row
to hoe, but we hope it may inspire
and encourage some other heads of
educational institutions to respect the
rights OF decent students and compel
others to respect themselves and their
fellows. 1t would be a terrible blow
to the rum trust to lose all that new
material, but it is a tendency of the
hour for the devil has at last turned
tail and is on the run before courage
and justice.

Educational Films.

The movies" are on the trail of fake
consumption cures, says The Survey
How thousands of eonsumptives lose
their lives annually by taking fake
cures for tuberculosis, will be depicted
in a motion picture film which has
just been prouced by Thomas A. Edi-
son, in cooperation with the National
Association for the Study and Preyen-
ton of tuberculosis. The film is en-
titled The Price of Human Lives"
and was placed on exhibition in thea
tres throughout the United States on
December 2.
1t has been designed to further the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale and the
general anti-tuberculosis campaign.
The scenario abounds in contrasts,
human interest, and poetic justice, and
leads on through tragedy to they lived
happily ever after" In brief, here Is
the story: The heroine, Beth Cort, is
engaged to Harry Bruce. She is the
daughter of a wealthy drug manufac-
turefi he a successful young advertis-
ing manager. She has become inter-
ested in social service, through Red
Cross Christmas seals, and does some
visiting as a volunteer
Thus she meets Nellie Linn, a con-
sumptive, who is taking Concura for
her hard cold" Nellie's lover, Ed.
also a consumptive, is being treated by
fake advertising doctor Both are
deaf to Beth's protests until the friend
who recommended Concura dies of tu-
berculosis. Beth determines to report
these cases to the company who man
ufacture concura, and ablaze with in
dignation goes TO their offices and finds
-her father and lover. For her faith
er's wealth comes chiefly from Con-
cura. and ner lover earns his living,
and proposes to earns hers, by ex-
plotting the stuff.
Revelation is followed by reform The
father becomes a changed man and
makes all possible restitution to his
victims; the lover sends Nellie and Ed
TO sanatorium, where they soon make
satisfactory progress. And so on

A COLLEGE CIean-Up.

The new president of Hobart College
Geneva, n. Y.-non- sectarian) has an
nounced his policy and determination.
He proposes cleanup. and he asks
the citizens of the city to help him
keep temptation from his charges. He
proposes to reform the morals of many
of the students and, with that purpose
uppermost, he has ordered the discon-
tinuance of the use of alcohol by the
students. He has also issued an edict
bringing to an end the practice of all
night dances so common in the past
A letter from Geneva says:
The college authorities at Hobart
following a faculty meeting held yes
terday afternoon issued a pronounce
ment to the students this morning to
the effect that hereafter any Hobart
student who is known to use alcohol
will be debarred from receiving schol-
arships or other financial aid from
Hobart College The faculty and pres
ident have taken this action in line
with the general policy of President
Lyman +. FoWtI, WHO WIS iHduS uTdl-
ed last month, to make sure that the
Hobart undergraduates will not be al
lowed the indulgences so general
among collegians the country over.
The president has also made it evil
dent to the citizens of Geneva through
the columns of the local papers that
he expects them to cooperate with the
Hobart authorities by not allowing
temptations TO come into the ways of
the undergraduates. He insists that
Hobart proposes to stand for the high
est ethical culture, and any drinking
en- the part of the undergraduates will
have to stop. In line with his general
policy for Improvement, he has also
forbidden the continuation of the col
lege dances as all-night affairs, and
has taken drastic action with refer
ence to other college customs that last
ed al night, the banner scrap being
Immediately concerned.
OF course, to the mind of some of our
prohibition friends, such college
laws are "sumptuary," and an inva-

a mistaken idea that permitting smok-
ing might stop it and avoid further
trouble, issued its authority to allow
cigarettes in the class room.
Surely the time has arrived in this
country when check must be put
upon lawlessness in every form.
Schools have been turned over to So
cialist lecturers who favor disorganl-
zation and disruption, and to unruiy
pupils who make their demands Win
as much sayoire faire as a regularly
accredited walking delegate. The pupilc
schools belong to all the people. some
years ago efforts were made to put the
Bible into some of the schools, but such
protest arose as defeated inns pur-
pose 1t was then argued, and properly,
that schools were for the instruction OF
the young along non-sectarian ana
non-political lines. But since that time,
here in Kansas City, at least, political
doctrines have been preached In lee
lures that are vicious and subversiVe
of good citizenship.
In older and somewhat better days
the schoolmaster knew how to deal
with unruly pupils, Those were mill
tant days when the rod was not ia
booed as an instrument for the mainte-
nance of discipline. There were no
strikes in those days except the re-
sounding strikes upon the backs of the
cuprits themselves. Few people would
argue for the restoration of corporal
punishment in the schools. But as US
ual we have gone far to the opposite
extreme. We have in many cast, Civ

We have permitted him to culti-
vate Il spirit of insolent independence
manifested in contemptuous protests
and demands. There is no better rea
son why boys should be allowed to
smoke in school rooms than that pro-
family should be allowed in school or
that organized brigandage should be
recognized by school boards. And any
srnember of a school board who coun-
tenances such things is cowardly or in
competent.

as in the poor rooms of the Linns.
Recently several men connected with
Augusta churches have been earnestly
considering a Turn to the Right"
movement to be given impetus by
Sunday afternoon gatherings at local
theatre. OF course the plan was for a
free entertainment of religious (but
non-sectarian) and educational char
acter, to include orchestra music, a
short address by some well known pull
pit orator or famous educator, and a
1000-foot film of appropriate character
for Sunday afternoon mixed gather
ing.
Such program mas drawn thousands
in other cities, always oVercrowding
halls. At Waterville, one year ago
these meetings turned away hundreds
then it rained pitchforks, These meet
ings were arranged for an hour when
they would not interfere with the SER
vices at any of the churches, and hun
dreds of boys and girls were thus call
ed in off the streets to learn and absorb
something OF infinitely greater value
to their moral and physical futures
than they could acquire on the streets.
In other cities we read that church

Certain clear-thinking church peo-

They threw aside their pretudices for

Truthful Bear Stories.
Bangor News.)


Their name is certainly legion, but
that qualifying, adjective truthful
decidedly limits the net output, acts as
a screen as it were, for letting out of
the big and Whopping bear stories for
newspaper and magazine publication,
and retains for home consumption,
culls and windfails, as if most any
thing were good for the home folks.
One can hardly remember when he
was not overload of real stories con-
corning real bears. A story of this
kind appears in a magazine in Lon
don, wherein an antiquarian raked up
a tale of the first voyage the Dutch
ever made into the Arctic ocean,
which was made away back in 1894
with seven ships, each about as big
as one of Columbus's craft, which
came over to America in 1892. The
men on these ships met and killed
white Arctic bears, some of them
measuring IL feet and inches from
where the bears head was cut off to
the tip of the Arctic bears tail. One
very ferocious bear had the temerity
to show fight in the presence of the
entire crew, and mauled with his paws
and began to eat up two members OF
the crew alive. until some professional
whalers with harpoons cast their dead
ly irons into the carcass of the bear
and hauled him back to land, and
fatally despatched him with hatchets
when it was measured with a wooden
wardstick, with the above results.
There was some considerable joy ir
reading the uature-faking bear stories
by Professor Charles G. d. Roberts oil
Nova Scotia, and Rev. DR.. Long, the
nature taking minister, or the imagin-
atoms of Macmillan Foster, formerly
with the New York World, and even
Artist Joseph Knowles of Boston came
to Maine last summer and made a
brave endeavor to hoodwink the sum-
mer visitors in the Pine Tree State
with no more than Indifferent success.
From early childhood Maine boyt
have been fed upon that sacred story
about how bald-headed Elisha sent
two ferocious female bears to devour
gang of scoffing boys and girls tc
punish them for their irreverance
though few boys or girls in Maine were
ever made very much afraid of living
bears because of that Scriptural mar
ration.

Editorial Comment.
Cardinal Rampolla.
New York w World. }


1t was the singular lot of Cardinal
Rampolla to be beaten by an agency
which was soon thereafter abolished
by his successful rival. He would al
most certainly have been elected Pope
ten years ago had it not been for the
opposition of Austria and for the veto
power by which Austria was able to
make that opposition effective. In
stead of him, Cardinal Sarto, Favored
by Austria, was chosen Pope; and he,
as Plus X, then abolished that veto
power of Austria which had been fatal
TO Rampolla.
AS Papa Secretary of State Ram
polla had made an enyiable record.
In his retirement he retained the re-
spect and devotion with which he hao
been regarded, while in more than one
case there were widespread regrets at
his absence from the office which he
had so ably filled. He leaves behind
him one of the most justly honored
names in the recent history of the
Sacred College.
