natural expression of certain innate
tendencies, characteristic Of English
and American youth and those Of
other nationalities who have come un-
der their influence. It is the tend.
ency to match ones strength and
skill against that of another.
st is the same fundamental factor
that accounts for all English and
American sport, both amateur and
professional, and is the cause of the
Athletic Union, the Amateur Athletic
Federation, the National Golf assoc
citation, the National Amateur Base
ball association, the Public Schools
Athletic leagues, Y. M. C. A. league,
Young Mems Catholic Athletic
association, the American, National
and Federal professional baseball
leagues and the innumerable section
al state and city leagues and associa-
lions of every sort.
whenever group of boys or
young men associate together long
enough to discover that certain of
them combined in a team are better
than any other combination in the
group, they become eager to try out
their team against the team Of some
other group and thus, vicariously, the
whole group pits itself against it's
neighbors, and the circle once started
continues in ever widening arcs;
reaching from the match between the
teams of two neighboring street
gangs to the great international con-
tests between the teams representing
the nations of the whole world as at
Athens and Paris and St. Louis and
London and Stockholm. IntercOl-
legiate athletics is but one phase OF
this universal instinct and tradition,
which is seen in it's worst phase in
the European war.
"'Gate receipts are not the object
Of intercollegiate athletics. They are
essential, for without them there
would be no intercollegiate athletics.
In this they do not differ from any
other type of organized inter-institu-
tional sports.
"Another fallacy is that intra-
mural sports, for all students, will
flourish if intercollegiate sports are
cut out. This is founded on two
ideas, both of which are fallacious;
the first that the money saved by the
elimination of the intercollegiate ex-
pense could then be devoted to sports
for all the students;' the other that
intramural and intercollegiate activi-
ties are antagonistic and cannot both
be successfully conducted in the same
institution.
1.-THE elimination of intercollegiate
sports will automatically cut off the
income from those sports and there
will be no funds therefore to devote

Would Be Better Off.
1t might be said that if all taxes
in Beltrami county had been paid as
promptly as Mr. Ruggles,' that it's
financial condition might now be
much better
Citizens Of Bemidji hope that when
the park matter is presented to Mr.
Ruggles, or his representative, it will
be received in the spirit in which the
suggestion is made. He should re-
ceive a full consideration for his
property.
A Man of Great Wealth.
Mr.. Ruggles is man of great
wealth, has for years been engaged in
business involving amounts running
into the millions of dollars, and
while he has the reputation of max
the pennies, he bears the reputation
of being absolutely truthful to his
word, which is as good as his bond,
and if the city of Bemidji takes the
matter up with him along the proper
lines and with the proper spirit, it
will no doubt be met half way by
him. It is to be hoped that the eff
forts of the council, Commercial club
and Merchants association will be
crowned with success.
Did Much for Virginia.
It may be interesting to citizens
or Bemidji to know that Mr.. Ruggles
aided in building at Virginia one of
the largest saw mills then in the
country and that he gave financial
assistance in the construction of the
Duluth, Virginia e Rainy Lake rail-
road. These two enterprises made it
possible for Virginia to become the
city that it is today, and Bemidji may
we'll afford to invite and be the re-
cipient Of consideration by Mr.. Rug
giles.

Automobiles and Fog.
Waterbury Republican. )

Running jitney or a trolley car at high speed through a fog is just as serious as running a train without regard to signals and recklessness is bound to be cut short by disaster. The accident yesterday when a jitney crashed into a trolley car on the Green Milldale line is only one of many accidents hereabouts recently in which automobilists have come to grief through too little heed to dan gers on the road when there is a fog.
 It ought to be worth while to the automobile organizations and the in dependent automobilists of the state to start general campaign against speeding in fog. It is hard to con- ceive of reasonable arguments against putting a severe penalty on all auto mobilists who disregard the safety of the public and themselves in foggy weather and strict enforcement of the law against unreasonable speed should be the rule is every communi- ty. The fog season is here and with the automobile equipped as an all- year-round vehicle ther can be no em- phasis on the responsibility of driv- CTS to travel slowly and safely and to signal frequently whenever the wheater is not clear.

forth by ;, the American governm ent anent the comm ercial warfare on goods sent from this country to neu- tral ports. Skinner may throw much light on the situation. From those on the inside it is known the note already drawn up by our State De- partment deals merely with the legal aspect of the practices indulged in by Great Britain. After Skinner airs his views on the question a few curt paragraphs may be inserted setting forth the American position more vigorously and giving particular at tention to the defense which has already been set up by Great Britain and which has been found entirely unsatisfactory by this country. It is we'll that this note is to be sent. Uncle Sam has been patient long enough. Great Britain, as we'll as Germany, should be given to under stand that no nation on the face of the globe can violate the rights of the United States and its citizens and remain friendly with us.

WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
Free Speech.
(New London Day.


 Somebody, somehow or other, must secure a competent decision from some competent authority, some of these days, as to what constitutes constitutional free speech in the United States. Down in Paterson the police are placing a construction of their own on the constitutional guar antee and it is a considerably more drastic one than that made by the New York police at the time of the I. w. w. disturbances there. It is questionable whether the Paterson police haven't gone a little too far in raiding the meeting places of the malcontents and banishing from the city speakers whose advocates seemed to them calculated to incite trouble.
 And yet it must be admitted that the temptations under which the Pat erson authorities live are exceptional; also they have had more experience, probably, approximately to the size of the city, than the authorities of any other town-they know their agi- tators and how to deal with them eff Actually.
 The danger lies, not in the muzzling of outspoken advocates of violence, but in the gradual confusion of such advocates as those of the violent reds and those of honest, even if ex- treme, reformers. There are some pretty fine distinctions to the drawn and drawn they msut be, lest we trade the dangers of unbridled license of speech for the perils of a parti- san or class censorship.
 It is a pretty big problem and one which will have to be grappled with in earnest some of these fine days. Meantime there is the consolation of knowing that in nine-tenths of the cases where mouths are forcibly shut they are much better shut than open

guilty of any misdeed suffer. with the one who deserves rebuke.
 This method of discipline fails for two reasons. It is not concentrated on the offender, and causes the inno- cent to suffer with the guilty.
 The rebuke should have been pri- vate. It should have been an affair between the boy and the father. Then the lesson could have been impressed. A vast amount of energy is lost in dis cipline in the home and school, be- cause it is administered wholesale. A teacher who stands in the front of the room and disciplines child in the rear of the room can rarely achieve good results. Thirty or forty innocent children suffer for the care lessness of one. If they do not suf- fer. they grow callous to discipline.
 In any home or school in which the long-range, wholesale plan or dlscl- pline is followed, the atmosphere be- comes surcharged with it, and the Joy is taken out of life.
 We all know homes and schools in which every one expects to listen to complaints and scolding much or the time. This is unfortunate rom whatever point of view. It IS bad physically for any one to have to share in the discipline of other per sons. This depresses every vital or gan. If could take. you into psychological laboratory, I could show you that when one is listening to scolding and complaints, all the vital processes are affected unhealthfully. This is one reason why children llv- ing under parents and teachers who administer discipline on a wholesale plan are usually not as vigorous as children who do not have to share the discipline administered to all the other members of the group.

Learning Spanish.
Waterbury Democrat )

If American business men are me- glecting their Latin-American op- portunities, the boys and girls of the country are not. From every sec tion come reports of keen interest in the language. history, geography and economics of Spanish countries. The interest is especially high along the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, where shipping in connection with Central and South America makes Latin-Amcrican relations seem more actual and practical. In language study in the high schools and colleges there is a great falling off in the German classes and surprising de- mand for Spanish instruction. The Spanish classes in the New York high schools are overfowing and the same is true in all the Pacific seaports. In Seattle there are seven high school teachers giving all their time to teaching Spanish. In the Univer- sity of Washington 400 students have registered for the Spanish courses and 200 more had to be turned away. It seems a pity to neglect the German language, because of its incompar- ably greater and richer literature; but the zeal for Spanish on the part of the country's intelligent young men and women is an admirable tendency deserving every encouragement. It is an omen not merely of more ex- tensive and profitable business rela- tions with our Spanish neighbors, but of a new fusion of Pan-American cul- ture and ideals and extension of a new larger Americanism throughout the whole western hemisphere.

Flying Freight Cars. (Torrington Register

Great advance in aviation is a rec ognized fact, but Henry Woodhouse, an officer of the Aero Club of Amer ica, will cause some surprise by his statement that lair craft can now carry a. ton ninety-f1ve miles an hour" provided he means a ton in addition to the weight of the mach inc. The Zeppelin can do this, but the Zeppelin is a developed balloon. More surprising still is MT. Wood houses prediction of aerial freight lines to South America at an early date, the wiping out of international frontiers by swift air carriers and the achievement of that world-na- tion to which every lover of peace looks forward with anxious longing"
 No doubt the conquest of the air will ultimately be in considerable measure certain, but the power achieved is likely to be long restrict ed within narrow bounds, and it may be doubted whether air traffic will ever be as safe as that on land or even that on water, and 1t hardly seems probable that railway trains and steamboats will ever be displaced by air craft. It is true that seem ing miracles are possible and no doubt the future is full of wonders, but it is better for constructive aviators to give attention to possibilities al- ready into the fanciful It is certain at least, that neither aviation nor any other agency will ever wipe out inter national lines. For many reasons it is better for the human race to be di- vided into distinct groups, and such division will no doubt be continued indefinitely.

Herr Hearst and the Loan.

It looks bad for the Anglo-French loan. Herr Viereck, Herr Weismann and Herr Koelble are already on rec ord against it, and Herr Hearst tele- graphs from New Orleans to his prin- cipal morning newspaper, the Deu- tches Journal, that "Ich bin i'm Be- griffe Mach New York gu gehen um gegen die Kriegsanletihe fur die kriegsfuhrenden Nationen Europas gu opponieren ud zwar gu oppenieren so stark ich es nur gu tun vermag"

Wholesale Discipline.
(M. V. O'Shea, in the November
 Mothers Magazine.)


 Mothers Magazine.)
 A father leaving for his office at noon, asks his twelve-year-ol boy to mow the lawn. When he returns at night, he is not pleased with his sons handiwork. He thinks he ought to give the boy some good counsel, and he starts in as soon as he gets in the house. He complains about the boys carelessness, and says: That's a miserable piece of work. Had thought you would not do it any bet ter than that, I would have done it mycelf The trouble with you boys is that you are in too much of a hurry to do anything around the place. You want to get off all the time" and so on ad libitum.
 There are five children in the house. hold, three younger and one older than the boy he is reproving. They hear the fathers scolding. When a mem- Der of a group is disciplined in this way, the effect is dispersed over the group, and so to some extent lost on the individual. But worse than that, the house is filled with the atmos- phere of discipline. Children not

 Beside the colossal losses of war. how trivial appear the catastrophes of other days. Twenty persons killed anywhere in the United states' is first-page display news story. A. thousand dead marks a great disaster that will finger in mems memories year after year.
 In one year of war the total loss in killed, wounded and missing is es- timated at more than s.000,O 900 hu- man beings, or an average daily loss of more than 10000 men for an en- tire year. Beside such a wastaEe of human lives even the tremendous financial and property losses Of the war shrink into insignifcanco.
 The human mind cannot comprc- bend such slaughter and its conse- quences of woe. We can only won- der and shrink ia amazement at the supreme folly that sends men to tho battlefield in mistaken loyalty to a cause-whatever that cause may be- that would be far better served in tho ways of peace.

Like Herr Hearst, MT.

A Common Disease
Providence Journal )

The New York Medical Journal of fers some timely remarks on the char acter and the danger of that verbal phenomenon known as ''gush.'' "It is not only an absurd and dangerous habit, but morbid one Hysterical gush and windlness serve no good ends except to butt thick heads against hard facts. They help to deceive the people for a time, to deceive them as to their brains and nerves, to prevent them from regarding increasing idiocy and hysteria clear enough in the light of symptoms of national dis ease"
 It is a common disease, and all though it is not peculiarly a national failing it flourishes here perhaps more rampantly than in almost any other country. There seems to be something in the atmosphere that is conducive to emotionalism, and under the nervous strain imposed by the rapid pace of life we fall easily into the manners of hysteria. The funda- mental quality of the celebrated Am erican "sense of humor' is exagger- ation, and this is so closely allied to the root of the trouble that it possibly explains why we are not saved from this fault by our humorous sense. But the fact remains that gush is an inn portant part of our regular diet. It is easy enough to diagnose the ailment but the suggestion of an effectual rem edy is more difficult. Perhaps it is to be found only in simpler living and straighter thinking.
