ONES e.
EXCESSIVE ATHLETICS HURT
csaeh Courtney Of Cornell Recon-
rnends That Universities Take
Entire Control Of Sports.

Mr.. Courtney, the Cornell rowing
coach, who for many years has been
actively identified with university ath-
fetics, has spoken out strongly
against the system under which uni
versity athletics are conducted. IF
athletics are not a good thing, they
ought to be abolished. If they are a
good thing for the boys, 1t would seem
TO me wise for the university to take
over and control absolutely every
branch of sport; do away with this boy
management stop this foolish squan.
dering of money; and see that the
athletics of the university are run in
a rational way"
Besides making these criticisms and
recommendations Mr.. Courtney has
commented on the declining standards
of university athletes, as measured by
their class work. According to him,
an increasing number of men who en-.
gage In university athletics show a
mediocre rank in scholarship. Former
iy the university athlete of distinction
was desired and sought for upon grad
uation by business men; he was pre-
sumed to have qualities that would
make him exceptionally useful or sue
cessful. Now the athlete is no longer

Very likely these congratulations are
not wholly fair to the present-day ath-
lete or to present-day athletics. They
are significant, however, as indicating
a gradual change that is taking place
in public opinion.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Cost Of Hauling Farm Products Over
Common Roads Is Twenty-Five
Cents a Ton Per Mile.

After careful inquiry It has been
found that the average haul of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship.
ping station Is ~ miles, and the aver
age cost of hauling over the common
country roads is 25 cents a ton per
mile, or three dollars a ton for a ~
mile haul, says Portland Oregonian.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at SO0,00O,OO0 year. On the
estimate of three dollars ton for IL
miles this would make the total cost
OF getting the surplus products of thd
farm to the local market or to the
railroad no less than 5000 900 .O0t-a

OVERCOMING SPIRIT OF WAR
First Thing for Boys to Do Is to Rec
osnize Men as Men, Despite
Their Race or Country.

When this hideous war is over all
the nations will be filled with the
spirit of hate. for without hate there
could be no war, writes David Starr
Jordan in Boys Life. II is for you
boys to try and overcome this spirit, to
help each man and each other to real
lie that men are men, wherever they
may live or whatever language they
may speak.
A boy in one OF the continental coun-
tries now at war told me once that he
saw soldiers of neighboring country
leaned out of the window, put his arm
on his mothers shoulder and reached
down to kiss her. The boy was great
ly surprised. He had been taught to
hate the people of that neighbor coun.
try, and he thought they were not hu.
man. He did not know they loved their
mothers just as he did. When he knew
that. he did not want to fight them.
but wanted to make them friends.
II nation is victorious, 1t has at
the end the same troubles 1t would
have had Ii 1t had been vanquished.
War is two-edged sword without any
hilt, and ii cuts every one that Yields
it. And as bad as the sting of defeat
is the curse of victory. The defeated
nation wants to fight again, to revenge
itself; and the victorious nation wants
to fight again because 1t feels sure
that 1t is strong enough to whip any.
body. And each of them hates the
other, without sense, without reason.

this could not be done unless the
Commissioners would give him a let
ter TO the authorities there. Mr.. Pyle

TRAFFIC SQUAD FOR
THE Police FORCE
Commission Names Seven
New Officers, Rejecting
Mounted Squad Plan
GEN. WICKERSHAM
OPPOSES MOVE

Resembling the motion of Septem-
ber is in which provision was made
for mounted police squad, the Board
of Police Commissioners at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon appointed
seven additional patrolhen to be
used as traffic squad. The appoint
ments we're made by President Bow
ers, Commissioner Stayton voted for
them. General Wickersham. the min
ority member of the Commission
said he had not seen the list of ap-
pointees ar the resolution resembling
the resolutions of September 10, and
therefore could not support the ac-
ton. President Bowers explained
that he had forgotten to show General
Wickersham the resolution.
Following the appointments General
Wickersham said: Some Of these
men / have never seen, and would
like to ask does this carry with It
our recommendations made to Coun-
oil for a mounted squad?"
President Bowers replied: THE re-
solution speaks for itself; it says
seven additional men,
General Wickersham then drew the
attention of the Commission to the
resolution of the Commission TO
Council asking for the mounted squad
and the submitting of the itemized
statement for the purchase of horses
and equipment of the same In maxi
ing this request of Council General
Wickersham said Il thought we we're
acting in good faith. | favor organ
izing a mounted squad and Mr. Tay-
lor in his report also recommended
such. saying that one mounted man
on the outskirts of the city was equal
to four patrolmen."
It was evident at the meeting yes
terday that the naming of the men
did not mean that they would be
placed on duty at once. Councilman
Weller e. Slower, chairman of the
finance committe Of Council, inform
ed the Commissioners that Council
had a legal opinion stating that the
money appropriated for the organiza-
ton of the mounted squad could not
be used for any other purpose. In
case this is true, the question of pay
ing the new mems salary would be
involved
In speaking on the subject after
General Wickersham had spoken of
the recomemndations Of Mr.. Taylor for
a mounted squad, President Bowers
declared this was foreign to the sub
iect and he then put his motion to
enlarge the local force from 1O3 to
10 men. Commissioners Bowers and
Stayton voted in favor of the increase
while General Wickersham opposed it,
Following the adoption of the re-
solution, the following new patrol
men were recommended:

tion, insuring its adoption. General

marks on the mounted squad were
applicable to this resolution also.
The resolution was adopted by a two
to one vote.

vailed.
