TABER, GREAT RUNNER

Norman S. Taber, who broke the
mile record. has been a Rhodes stud
ent at oxford university, Eng, for
two years. Before going abroad he
attended Brown university, where he
came in contact with Edward O'Con-
nor OF Worcester, the former Brunon-
ian track coach. The new mile rec
ord-holder was born in Providence,
September 3, 1891, ana he did not
participate in athletics until 1903. He
is 5 feet IL inches tail and weighs
1870 pounds.
His first jump into prominence
came at the intercollegiate meet at
Philadelphia in 1912, when he ran a
dead heat with John Paul Jones of
Cornell, in A minutes 20 is seconds,
He competed in the eastern tryouts
that year, and was only l 12 yards
behind Kiviat in the 1500-meter race.
At the Olympics in Sweden A. N. S.
Jackson of Oxford, won the 1900
meter event, but it was necessary to
refer to the photographs to see whet-
her Kiviat Or Taber had finished sec
ond. Kiviat received the place, and
Jones finished fourth.
Taber turned in several high class
performances in 1913, the first being
in the Brown,Syracuse dual meet,
when he wonsthe mile in minutes
10 As seconds and the half in l
minute 81 seconds. He won the
mile in 4 minutes IS 3-5 seconds and
the half in l minute So 3-5 seconds at
the New England intercollegiate
championship at the stadium. He
was primed for his dual in the big col
lege meet with Jones, but the Cornell
liam race more smoothly to the half
mile post, and despite Taber's desper-
ate efforts, Jones kept the lead, break
ing the tape in faster time than had
ever been accredited to an amateur.
Jones was caught in minutes IA 2-5
seconds while Taber was two seconds
slower. He has been a member of
the Oxford relay for two years, and
in 1914 ran third on the team that de-
feated the university of Pennsylvania
in one of the most thrilling interna-
tional races ever staged. This year

The people OF the United States
should pause and consider the wise
words Of the venerable Cardinal Glib
bons, the senior prelate OF the, Catho-
lie church in America. While his
words are moderate and gentle, as
becomes an old man whose long years
and wide experience have taught him
that the doctrine of hate and strife
should be subordinate to the teach
ings of right and justice, he warns
the people of this country not to be
misled by those whose self-interest
love of strife or prenatal influence
leads them To seek to force this
country into war with Germany.
Americans who try TO insure the
safety of belligerent ships by becom-
ing passengers thereon are helping
England in her efforts to lead this
country into war. American diplo-
macy is in an untenable position,
and is but serving the plottings of
London, when it fails TO separate the
shipment of munitions of war from
the carrying of American passengers.
The failure of Germany to give ade-
quate answer and assurance to this
and other neutral countries is no eX-
cuse for the failure OF the United
States to serve the American people

Herald.
The Herald calls attention to a
matter that is deserving OF notice
John 7, Cushing, the young, able and
versatile editor of the Messenger, in
order to get a chance to take vaca.
ton and visit the Pacific coast wrote
in advance a supply Of editorial to
last for several weeks. Naturally
matter prepared in this way could
not be guaranteed to be timely but
must be, to a considerable degree, on
general topics instead of live issues
Mr.. Cushing accordingly asked Con.
gresham Greene, former editor of
the Messenger, who is home from
Washington until Congress meets, to
contribute an occasional editorial if
anything occurred that seemed to de.
mand immediate discussion. The
Banner believes that it violates no
confidence in telling the facts. The
readers of the Messenger are glad to
hear again occasionally from Con-,
gressman Greene but the honors
really belong to Editor Gushing. How
many men would be willing to do the
hardest part of a months work in ad-
vance in order to get month off?
