CREWS AND COACHES.

Marked is the influence which the coaches of the crews in the various colleges have upon the men and the results of the intercollegiate races. Not only Is it the training which these men give the crews, but it is the steady ap- plfcatfon of the same methods during their years of training until they are thoroughly imheaded in the minds and actions of the rowing squads. Crews become automatons inspired by the
 directions which have been drilled into them by their coaches until as the New York Post says: ''The men who rowed in the boats on the Thames and the Hudson come in for comment only as to the degree of success with which they mechanically applied the coach's ideas. Since 1900 Cornell has won the Poughkeepsie race ten times, confes- sediy because of Courtney. When Cor nell fails to win. Syracuse leads. pre- sumably because of Ten Eyck. Possi- bly it is the mere monotony of Cor nell victories against which a non Corneilian rebels, but one sometimes wonders what a boat race would be in which the men were not buried be- meath the technique. As a mere nov city, the experiment of a race between coachless crews, trained under an elected captain who himself sits in the boat. would be of interest This might be applying L W. W. principles to the highly organized game of rowing, but, like the I. ". w. it would be exciting"
 Without the benefit or the influence of a coach or a determined stroke. a crew would be in much the position of the participants in 6 tubrace. The crew Is the reflection of the coach and his ideas.

ENFORCE EXISTING LAWS.

The large amount of joy riding and the many accidents which result from the overspeeding of automobiles and therefore lack of control has stirred up the people of Boston and vicinity to the organization of the Highway Safe ty league for the purpose of stopping look for support throughout the state and plans on additional legislation in behalf of it's purpose.
 Such an idea is in the interests of safety which is always wanted but it isn't apparent that it is needed in view of the present disrespect for the law concerning autos and speeding. Much legislation already fills the statute books concerning this subject, but it is be- cause there is lack of enforcement, and a growing disrespect that the sit uation fails to improve. AS long as it is not the fault of the present laws it is hard to understand how more laws will serve to improve the situation. What the organization needs to do is to work for the enforcement of the existing regulations. If the auto drivers who persist in disregartling all bounds of reason, causing injuries. and death, were given the same treatment as other violators of the law, instead of having their actions laughed at or winked at the situation would soon clear itself: and in this both the off, cials and the court have a well de- fined duty. Until the inefhciency of existing laws is determined additional legislation is simply waste of effort

Mrs, MerriWid's maternal maiden Aunt Jane ran to her niece n con- sternation. Mrs. Merriwid had fallen into chair, overlowed 1t with limp arms and dropping head her eyes 1 were closed languidly and she sasped faintly for breath Only her naturally blooming color was reassuring.

It must be nice to be ar1s- tocratic in a country where genuine aristocrats are so scarce, and those who like it must enjoy it, but there are so many things that aren't the thing at all if you want to be the real thing that I think I'd get discouraged. And then there's Reginald himself"
 He's very gentlemanly man. I'm sure, said Aunt Jane.

CALIFORNIA; POSTPONED CASES


 Cabinet trouble Is beginning early with the new administration but the seriousness of it will depend upon the promptness and decisiveness with which the president acts. The situa- ton which has developed is an un- fortunate one involving as it does the department of justice and notorious white slave cases over which Califor- mia is much concerned. It is but nat ural that there should be a prompt trial of the cases and if the statements of the United States attorney proper ly set forth the situation the depart ment of justice should be equally in- terested in prosecuting the eases and not endeavoring to bring about de- lay, which is so often perilous to such cases.
 Whether the officials in Washington acted without giving due considera- tion to the importance of the eases. from political influence, or failed to heed Attorney McNabs warning be- cause of conflict of authority may be unearthed in due time but it is ap- parent that the department of justice ought to give worthy consideration to it's representative on the ground rather than to influences which may be at work in behalf of the defend ants. Perhaps too little importance has been attached to the matter in Washington for it is evident the order does not reflect the feeling in Cali forpis There appears to be reason for finding cut the exact cause of the postpcnement and the establishing, if possible, it's justification.

WAYS OF MRS. MERRIWID

worth mentioning inquired Mrs.
 Merriwid. Well, perhaps you are right; but such as they are, they would be quite respectable if he would stand on them and not rely so much on the ancestral underpinning. That's the great trouble with the Van Junks; they strut around so much on greatgrandpa's s venerated and more or less brawny limbs that their own calves get fiabby and thin and ] rude people make jokes about their not having visible means of support. Pm i willing to believe that once upon a time there were some Van JunlSS who had brains enough to get themselves elected governors and congressman and probate judges, and Van JunkS who could fight or get other people to fight and Van Junks who could skin their fellow citizens on trade, but they aren't calling on me three evenings in the week. It's just Reginald, and Reg inald never went to a primary or got into fight or earned a dollar in his life.
 Reginald isn't good looking and he isn't intelligent; he's undersfzed and half baked. He can play a fair game of billiards when he's in condition and he knows how to tie an Ascot. and you'll never find him wearing any thing but the proper clothes on any occasion He's polite, and he bows gracefully, but if it hadn't been for old Jan Van Junk. who grabbed some real estate in 1898 and couldn't find a mar ket for it, Reggie would be on the tail end of the bread line to-day"
 You're certainly hard to please, Melissa sighed Aunt Jane.
 Not so very hard, auntie, dear, said Mrs Merriwid. but if ever marry again I want to be proud of my husband, not of his forefathers and foremothers many generations back. And there's another considerations it's a good thing for a man to have his wife spend the money he earns. It keeps him healthily occupied get ting more. and it gives her a proper wffely interest in his business. If she doesn't get away with more than he makes and doesn't grudge him a few modest expenditures. it's a logical and natural arrangement. but when a cou- pie form matrimonial partnership with the idea of sauandering big wad of unearned increment there's going to be trouble sooner or later just as sure as you're born
 It's mans business to make money, and it's fun for him. too. He enjoys making it. but he doesn't really enjoy spending it after he makes it.

From two hounds, or even half a

two. On the day of her birth the first

Of extension work, here today.
Interest in live stock is growing
rapidly, and VIII "e the farmer raises
few head of cattle today he will
produce q hundred or more in a few
years.
Just now We are in the midst of
an active campaign of farmers in
stitutes, and have inaugurated q new
system Of taking the Institutes to the
farms instead Of having the farmers
go to the institutes. This method has
proved wonderfully popular, and has
served useful purposes.
1T has brought about largely in
creased attendance everywhere and
givs the speakers chance to use
the stock on the farm for demonstra-
tion purposes, as they also use the
field crops.
1T is the first time in this country
that this idea Of making demonstra-
tions on the farm has been put into
practice.
If the weather conditions hold
good for the next 80 days we shall
have a crop of cotton and corn above
the average" continued Mr.. Long.
There is no lack of labor to trouble
us. as in the Western states. Our
farm hands, for the most part, are ne
groes who get from rs cents to 81 q
day. and are happy.
Recently one Of our graduates, a
young man Of "a, after finishing his
course at Clemson college, went out
to Kansas, and took a place as a farm
hand on one of the big farms in that
State. He not only was attracted by
the wages paid but he wanted to get
the experience that only actual work
on the farm can bring to the agricul-
turist. 1T would be we'll If all our ag-
rlcultural college graduates would
adopt this method of finishing their
course in farming.
