that such IA titanic, hideous, barbaric

The events of the last few weeks
have shattered some Of our most

The cover has been lifted and our
ears have caught the arumblings OF

Mans Wasted Chain.
History teaches that we should
draw no horoscopes; millennium,
are still far away. Man has always
been a fighting animal. There was
murder In the first family. and the
|shore1ine of time is Uttered with the
|pidful wreckage Of human conflicts.
Shattered idols and fireless affairs,
lonely pyramids, crumbling Parthe-
non, wind-swept coliseum, deserted
mosque and abbey. bastiIe and Lon
don Tower are all but the time
strewn fragments Of mans wasted
chain. D
Jacob, an early German philoso-
|pher. said that man, though created
for Immortality, could become more
beastly than a beast. Human nature
has not changed much during the
centuries. Plato held that every man
had within him a many-headed beast
and a man; and we sometimes feed
the beast and starve the man.

Sporting Notes.

Of all the Eastern teams, West
Point has put up the best defense this
year, having played five games and
Colgate S seven points being all that
have been made against the Soldiers
team.
There are applications already for
more than 10000 seats for the Yale
Harvard game. AS the seating capac
ity of the new Yale bowl, the largest
ever erected, is only 61,000, il is now
being planned to erect wooden seats
to accommodate about 10000 more.
When you stop to figure that if
Walter Johnson 5 demand for 100000
salary from the Feds were complied
with, he would be paid at the rate
of about 500 game, assuming that
he took part in 80, it is no wonder
that the magnates are talking of in

this year against Harvard, Yale, Dart

An unusually large vote was east

there were large Republican gains and
Progressive losses. Interest ceutered
in the representative contest, in which
there were five candidates-two Re
publican, two Democratic and one Pro
gressive. Edward S. Qualters, Demo
crat, receiving Isl votes, and Bert F.
Wood, receiving 151 votes, were elect
ed. The decline IN the Progressive
vote is shown in the vote for Walter
H. Hildreth for representatives. Two
years ago he received 222 votes and

The vote this year was very close
being 226 for no license and 221 fol
