price paid for these sports is far too
high.
1t ought to be the policy of our col
Ieges to make their terms as short as as
consistent with thorough work, and their
vacations as long as possible. In TINS
way the expenses of the college course
may be reduced and the vacation periods
i'm which young men may engage in pro-
fitable work to pay their expenses, may
be extended. BY such a policy the gates
of opportunity can be opened to thou
cands of worthy students against whom
they are now closed at many colleges and
universities.
All these objections to intercollegiate
athletics are reinforced by considera-
ton of the physical perils and moral
dangers which attend these sports. THESE
perils anG dangers are very great. and,
they can not be concealed, or honestly
minimiZed.
Everybody knows that the gambling in
connection with these games is just as
great as that which attended the horse
racing of former times, The newspa-
pers from time TO time tell us, in ad-
vance of the games to be played, of how
the betting is going on. An attendant
upon these games will see before MS
eyes wagerg made and collected. In the
very presence of officers of the law these
| illegal agreements are made and execut-
ed. Can it be possible that intellectual
pursuits. and moral life are promoted
| in an atmosphere of gambling?
The physical dangers are not to be
overlooked. During the present season
in Georgia n young man has been killed
at Waycross; another had a. limb broken
/ at a game in AtlSnta; and still another
| had a shoulder broken. These serious
| injuries have been reported in the pa
pers: but many others have not been
| published In every game of football
| between two college teams there are "a
greater or less number of injuries, and
many of them of a serious character.
What compensation do we get for all
these losses and injuries? Will any sane
| man dare affirm that any benefits are
derived that offset the damage done? 1t
| is incredible that any sincere person
really believes that any good can posi-
| bly, arise from these sports. They are
supported by a mania, which has moth
ing to justify it,

THE POWERFUL TEMPTATIONS TO
MEN AND WOMEN.

A nrominent minister or New bork
City has lately sent out inquiries to
prominent people of New York, asking
thir views. on the chief dangers TO the
caracters of men and women of that
city. 1t is possible that such questions
might be asked in our part of the coun-
try and the replies might fit the men and
women who fall by the .wayside here
among u.s. A noted banker said: "Wom-
en-" The wiles Of women who seek gain
for loss or virtue are powerful tempta-
lions Hon. John Wannamaker reported
1.-The waste of time-idleness." Presi-
dent Butler of Columbia University,
thinks the "endeavor to keep up with
people who have money to spned, which
the young man with a fixed salary is not
able TO afford
Miss Katherine Il. Davis, of the parole
commission, thinks "the love of pleas
ure, the glaring sort on Broadway, is
responsible for the ruin of women. Chief
Justice Russell thinks slow standards of
morality in striving to achieve wealth
and prominence"
Miss Mable Gentry ascribes IT to
"clothes-things to have and wear"
Miss Greedy Smith. granddaughter OF
Horace Greedy, says, "Lonesomeness and
clothes"
The preacher read out these answers
along with many others at last Sunday
nights services, and gave his own opin-
ion, namely. the desire to pose, to be
unreal"
These people are experienced in mat
tiers of New York city, The agitation
shows US the public apprehension that
prevails. 1t is a subject worth attention.
II l had been asked for my opinion
as to what drags down young men and
women | should have said VAIN desires
craving for money and clothes and too
much time spent in giddy frolics. where
sexual passion and the devil are toe
much in evidence" Everything is sug'
gestive to such heated brains and when
there are intoxicants vende6 or distrib-
uted, the wonder is that any who attend
them escape without harm.

women who have been raped,
and for the American men, wo-

a barn. And now the American
people are asked TO sanction
this policy in the name of peace,
