A c 0

Toronto, Can, Globe: The legisla-
tive achievements Of President WAL
son, since he took office on March 4
last, have been absolutely unprece-
denied. During these ten months ne
has secured the enactment Of a radl-
cal tariff law, n the creation or a
revolutionary currency and banking
system. He has done this so quietly
that his task has seemed easy to on
lockers. when, as a matter of fact, 1t
was one of extreme difficulty. This
will be seen in the perspective Of his
tory more clearly than it is at present
perceived, but even now he Is getting
credit for an amount of ability n
sagacity hat he was not believed a
few months & to possess. His pres
tige has been we'll maintained by the
way in which he has handled the
Mexican situation; preventing for
eign intervention, including that Of
the United States, and affording the
political parties in Mexico a chance
to settle their quarrcls without the
interference of outsiders. Time has
already shown also, that he has had
the good sense and good fortune to
surround himself with able colleagues
in the public administrative depart
ments, so that no serious
has yet made itself apparent to the
most prejudiced scrutiny. Not the
least Of his achievements in that line
is the voluntary dissolution Of the
great ACKNOWLEDGEMENT merger,
which did not wait to be coerced by
legal process in the courts.
Mr.. Wilson is not likely to enhance
his reputation by an ornately rhetor-
ical style of public address. During
his campaign the plainness Of his
speaking was considered a defect. He
did not arouse enthusiasm, and but
for the presidential contest being a
triangular one, he would probably
not have been elected at all. During
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1914-01-05

his incumbency he has made no fam
boyant speeches, and it is not likely
h he will eVer make any; but 1t a
not escaped notice h a he has an CT
fective style of his own, n that
what he aims at is the ordinary eX-
preston of sane thinking and prac-
teal common sense. OF sane thoughts
he has an abundance to utter, for his
natural acumen has been developed in
no ordinary degree by the discipline of
research and of teaching in the great
historical subjects, TO which the HOr-
alton aphorism is peculiarly appltca~
BILE: Abeunt studio in mores. II char.
acter is really modified by studies,
then the studies most effective for,
that must needs be those
dealing with the practical life of the
individual and tho evolution Of Soci-
ETY. in civilization. '
II Mr.. Wilson has eve deliberately
taken any eminent American as his
model it must have been Benjamin
Franklin, who was never known TO
make a great speech. who was peren-
nially studiOus, who was a rare mas
ter Of the aphoristic style, and who
has, ever since he published his shrcwd
observations in a dcccptiveIy plain
embodiment of language, becn univer-
sally regarded as one of the worlds
sages. Mr.. Wilson cannot be said to
have so far coached the standard of
excellence achieved by Franklin, but
he is clearly, whether consciously or
unconsciously, following along tho
great philosophers line, and he may
yet give utterance to some remark as
original and suggestive as Franklin's
contention that the useful turkey, not
the predatory eagle, should be selected
as the national emblem of a great in
d~ustrial and pacific state like the then
new American Union.

HARVARD WILLING TO
TRY Ann ARBOR

Chicago, Jan. 4-Michigan and
Harvard football elevens will engage
in intersectional combats at the Cam
bridge stadium in 1914 and 1915. If
the athletic authorities Of both insti-
tutions are satisfied with the arrange
ments financially and athletically,
Harvard will play at Ann Arbor in
1915 for the first time in the history
of the Crimson school. This informa-
ton was given out in Chicago today
by a. student leader at Michigan who
is closely associated with athletic af-
fairs at Ann Arbor.
Although no contract has been writ
ten to that effect. the mutual under
standing between the authorities is
that after 1915 the game will alter
nate. The attitude taken by the Ann
Arbor school forced Harvard to come
to this agreement. Harvard was will
ing to play Michigan in 1911, and since
hat time has offered the Ann Arbor
school games each fall, but Director
Baritone refused to consider the prop

Another measure Of Importance that
was passed was a resolution restrict

tons thus shut out of membership in

Another brisk fight was precipitat-

ATTITUDE
TOWARD FEDERALS
AROUSES SUSPICION

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The address Of
welcome for the Federal league hand-
ed out a few days ago ny President
Ban Johnson of the American league
has caused a suspicion in the mindsi
of many. wise leaders in the NATIONAL
sport that there is some kind of an
understanding between the head of the
young major league and the new or
g%anization. From the wording OF the
famous address regarding the unde-
sirables nov in the game and the ben
efits the new league could bring about
by driving the, undesirables out, the
suspicious ones have good reason, for
their position. 8
thinking that one Undesirable on
Johnson's list is Charles Murphy. Ever
since Murphy became the head of the
Chicago National League club john
sons dislike has grown until now 1t is
something akin to hatred. The Fed
erals are going to hurt the patronage
Of the West Siders as much as they
will any one if they succeed.
DisIikes Colonel Hedges.
Then again it is we'll known that
Johnson and Bob Hedges OF the
Browns have not been the best Of
friends for years. Ban never has been
able to rid his league Of Colonel Hedg-

| three years ago to turn over the club
To- a syndicate of Mound City men.
The members of the syndicate were
unable to dig up the necessary. coins
when it came to a showdown, although
! they had been given a clean bill or
health by the character committee OF
the league.
Outlaws Desert Cleveland.
Another peculiar angle to the suspl-
cious affair is that the Federals have
pulled out Of Cleveland. he reason
| given by the new organization Tor de-
sorting Cleveland was that it was i'm
nossibIe to find grounds in that city.
This Is hardly true, for there are many
vacant spaces in that city that could
be secured if needed for ball parks. In
fact there are more vacant tlelds IN
Cleveland than there are in Chicago.
Withdrawal Looks Suspicious,
The Cleveland withdrawal was
hardly necessary, unless 1t WAS against
the wishes of Charlie Somers. the an
| gel. who put: the American league on
the map. Somers and johnson are as
close as two brothers, and Ban would
never consent to anything that would
hurt the feelings, Of the nan who
made him possible as dictator Of the
baseball world. Nonconfictlng sched-
ules could be arranged in all Of the
cities that have only baseball
team at present without ~injuring any
ones pocketbood, and this is the in
~tention Of the Federals in every city
Of their league.
Nasty Rumor Afleat.
In Chicago and st. Louis noncon-
ficting schedules will be out Of the
question, for there is continuous bal,
already in the town. The tip is outr
a - 49, -11- 49, H. am ~
out their schedule tey will make
them to conflict with the Cubs in Chi
cago and with the Browns in st
Louis.

osition Of playing all contests at Cam

bridge. I
When Harvard first approached
Michigan on the subject of a contest
in 1911, Bartleme Immediately replied
that the Wolverines were willing to
play the Crimson eleven on the con-
dition that the 1912 contest would
be played at Ann Arbor. This Har-|
ward turned down gracefully. Again
the same proposition came from the
cas- in 1912. and Baritone telegraph
ed back the same reply, with the pre-
else result.
The third straight offer from HarI
ward in 1913 was treated similarly.
| When the Crimson leaders saw that
Michigan would not acquiesce they
were forced to concede a point. The
proposition of playing the first two
| games n Cambridge, with the 1916
| game in Ann Arbor, was presented
after the University Of Chicago au-
thorities turned down the Crimson
offer.
Before Harvard finally agreed to
| play at Ann Arbor were
given b. Director Baritone that ia
c~ilities for handling a record crowd
would be made. According to the ar
rangements. seats for $4,000 will be
provided and standing room for an
additional 5000 or 10000.

st. Paul, Jan. 5. Action tfat
probably will mean the seVerlng
entirely of relations between the n
versity of South Dakota and the lin
nesota-Dakota intercollegiate Attn
letic conference was taken late
Saturday afternoon just before the
close Of the fifth annual session of the
latter BODY at The Saint Paul.
The status of the Coyote institution
was carefully avoided throughout the
session until nearly time for adjourn
ment. andI.it looked for a time IKE
it would be passed by entirely, until
Prof. H. I. Jones, representing Dakota
Wesleyan university. dropped a bomp
In the shape of a resolution that any
institution in the conference, In order
to hold its membership, must play, at
least two games with other conference
colleges each season in each pranch
Of sport in which it participates.
Threaten to Join Missouri Valley.
Acting Pres. Marshall Mckuslck
Immediately arose and issued a def to
the conference, stating that II the
measure was passed the university OF
South Dakota would at once take steps
10 obtain membership in the Missouri
Valley conference, n would break
off all relations with the Tri-State
organization. The resolution carried,
however, nine for and five against,
South Dakota State college, the Uni
gersity Of North Dakota, North Dako-
Ia State Science school and North Da-
kota Aggies being the only instltu-
lions supporting the Coyote unlVer-
Sity.
Acting President McKusick explain
ed hat South Dakota had failed to
schedule games with more conference
colleges during the last two years for
purely financial reasons. He says that
athletics in the institution had been
facing a big deficit before they had
expanded their score to include larger
institutions, and they refused to go
