Clean Sport and the Spirit Of Youth

From the Chicago News.
Boy Scouts and other young schoolboys
who by day and night are relaying a
message from President Wilson In Wash
ington to Mayor Harrison in Chicago
have set many old hearts to beating fast
er in sympathy with that fine spirit of
youth which continually re-inforces and
renews the forward movement of man
kind. Symbolism has its place even in
this practical day of applied science. The
jogging world. dimly conscious that it
sees here a picture of the advancement
of humanity finds kind of spiritual re-
freshment in the spectacle of slender
boys speeding over mountain roads and
through valley mud, passing continually
to fresh runners the message of the Pres
ident. 1t will reach Chicago soon be-
cause 1.-the, straining young bodies and
feet young fleet are continually bearing
it onward. 1t is not only good sport. but
good drill in the art of being a man to

message bearers, each striving in turn
for a record. each determined to do his
part with distinction. Let others fail If
they will, the boy runner tells himself,
l shall be found sure and speedy.

Much Ado About Little.
From the Chicago Journal.


After all the bother about the sundry
civil appropriations bill, and the rider
which was supposed to exempt labor
unions and farmers organizations from
prosecution, President Wilson points
out that this prohibition applies only to
single appropriation of 100000 Even
so. the President says he does not like
the rider" and the Journal agrees
with him. But that rider does not
change existing antitrust legislation
and does not keep the Department of
Justice from using other appropria-
tons in any way that seems necessary.
1t merely states the sentiments of Con-
gress in reference to this particular
sum of money.
