The Normal school has engaged the
services of Lieut.. Arthur w. Davidson
as coach during the winter term just
opening. Mr.. Davidson is an exper-
fenced basketball player and his ap-
pointment as coach for the mems team
which are to be organized immedi-
ately should meet with hearty appro-
val by all lovers of this fine form of
athletics. The increased enrolment of
young men the past two or three days
justifes the selection of a coach of
mems athletics. Mr.. Davidson was
available and will render a good ac-
count of himself. There are enough
men now to insure one or two good
basketball teams as more are coming
every day. --~-----~---.-.--.

THE PRESIDENTS ILLNESS.

Cedar Rapids Republican:As to the
nature ofthe presidents illness we
are still left in doubt after all the re-
cent stirring up OF the question. AS
we have before remarked, We have
been inclined to treat the matter as
one that should not be too hard
pressed We realize that the people
are interested in the subject and
even that they have right to know
where the country is at so far as it's
chief executive is concerned. But
we Have had confidence in the men
who are guarding the secrets of the
sick chamber. We believe that they
VIII let us know when the vital time
comes, that is we do not believe that
il is their purpose to deceive the
American people to their injury. The
fact that they have not told us, we
take 1t to- mean that as yet there is
nothing in the situation that in any
way menaces or impairs the public
service.
Our own opinion is that the presi-
dent has suffered serious stroke OF
some kind. In all the reports from
the sick room there has been no re-
ference to the president using his
lower limbs. They are conspicuous
ly not in use. He is either proppfd
up in bed or he Is being wheeled
about In a chair The conclusion
would seem to be that for the time
hafng he has nat the use OF his lower
1irubs. They ere consuicuousiy not
in use. He is either propped up in
bed or he is being wheeled about IN
chair. The conclusion would seem
to be that he has not the use OF his
lower limbs and the non-use OF them
implies something in the nature OF an
apoplectic stroke. Mere nervous e1-
haustion or break down would not In
Guide the non-use OF those limbs.

NEW Works. DICTATORSHIP"

Every once in a while somebody gets excited
over New York City IS dictatorship in business,
finance amusements and other things that al
feet the whole nation. 1t is usually said that
little group OF New Workers, born and bred to
certain opinions prejudices and tastes have no
right to set methods, means and fashions for
tie rest of us 1t is rather interesting to note
Ill this connection in the current number OF the
Commerce Monthly that of group OF one hum
dred representative men in business and finance
in New York City, sixty are natives OF cities
outside of New York; that of the remaining
forty. twenty were born in New York and twenty
in other states of New York parentage In way
rsuch supremacy as New York City does actually
assert and maintain comes to her rather through
attraction to the metropolis Of men from all
sections for their business headquarters than
from the ability of native New Workers OF today
tc set us dictatorship.
New York is not as it was as to personality OF
the seventies or early eighties; it has become
the hiying place of hundreds of thousands OF
foreigners, radical in thought or conservative,
and the head center from which radiates eighty
per cent of the propaganda directed at orderly
government The old families, the snbstantials
in mentality and gentility, have gone from it,
generally leaving the money-mad and the
climbers to attempt mounting of the cliffs rep
resented by dollars and cents.

THE COST OF THE LEAGUE.

The American Agricultural association has
employed experts to estimate what the cost of
the league OF nations as it stands would be dur
ing the first year after its ratification These
experts have carefully and patiently listed the
one hundred and seventy tribunals and commits
sions actually named and created by the league,
their functions and their expenses. Salaries,
travel COST rentals, printing and other outgo be-
ing considered, they find that the league will
impose financial burden on the member ma
tons of more than one billion dollars during
the first twelve months Of its functioning.
The United States being the nation of great
est wealth, the major part of this outlay will fall
on US And in addition to these tabulated ex-
penses there is certain to be a considerable but
incalculable outgo for ceremonial visits and
their return in proper pomp. Rulers will do
much travelling under the new arrangement;
and missions like that to return the skull of the
sultan of Mkwaka to the people who want it. or
to carry back the koran of the caliph to the
king of Hedjaz will all entail expenses if done
in suitable style.

ike this go far to force the conclusion that there
are no accidents in the universe and nothing
iEsignifcant or great or small, but that all re-
suits work ont under laws of cause and effect
which are unimaginably exact. The great

our Weak cabine. Government.

Minneapolis Journal: Daily it be-
cones more evident that there is no

Of the ship of state. There is no
government in Washington that is
marking out course and following It

He has preferred to have plastics

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
CASTLE BolDT.


Weird castle standing bleak and desolate
Upon an island haunted by despair.
Thy moonlit towers reflected in the stream
Seem like dungeon keep OF memory.
There love sleep beneath a speIl
Till fancy comes and with her magic torch
Dispelg the gloom. Then from abandoned RUNS
An enchanted palace rises like dream,
Complete and beautiful in the hearts
or its forbidden builders Fancy mends
The broken hourglass and wasted sands
She conjures up night when castle isle
CLOVIS with mystic light and all the air
Seems vibrant with the voice Of JOY and .mirtA
On summer winds the breath of roses Steals
Frcrn out the sunken garden with sound
or tinkling fountains and through lumined halls
Move raaskers the music of the dance.
One light and airy goddess leads
joyful fhrong mimic deities
Cupid is there and fearful of his bow
Walk elittering fairies arm in arm with gnones;
While on a dais hest and hostess stand
Smiling beneath canopy of flowers.
Over the rnoonit waters lazy breezes
Bring songs and laughter of belated guests,
And munled shouts of boatmen from the moa;.
Hark. From the castle tower chime OF bells
Rings midnight Time for dancers to unn1ask.
They pause thrcbbing strings grow mute Now love
And pleasure cast aside their masks. But there
Il one still masked walking alone in black
who is ais stranger? Now he whispers to
The hostess Look, she starts as il in fear.
yet silently she takes his arm, and through
The castle door and down the castle steps
She goes with him into a waiting boat,
And they vanish down the shadowy streaE3
Pursuit is vain The darkness swallows them.
All guests depart. The lights go out And then
Tho owl resumes his reign castle isle.

latest contributions to the stage
here.
II is at st. AIMS church for deaf
mutes that Shakespeare appears In
this newest translation. st. AIMS.
which is the only church for deaf
mutes In the city, is one OF the i'm
portant New York institutions which
will benefit from the nationwide
campaign of the Episcopal church.

place along with church suppers and

Just as thrilling in sign language as
in English or French or Sanskrit,
and Shakespeare is by far the best
box Office attraction that st. AIMS
ever offers.
ST. AIMS has about 500 commni
cants, all deaf mutes, who go from
all parts OF the city. from Long
Island and New Jersey to attend
services and club meetings at the
church. The chapel is cYassic little
building, built like any other Episco-
pal chuch, except that 1t contains no
organ The sermon and prayers are
given In the sign language, responses
are read and answered by the con.
gregation IN the same manner, and
choir spells out the words of
hymns on the fingers. Rev. John
Chamberlain, rector, is an expert in
the language, and has been in the
church for fortyeight years. His as
sistant, Rev. John Henry Kent, Is
deaf himself.
Sunday school classes at st. AIMS
are made up of children from Fan

GIANTS AND JACKS.

Gilbert K Chesterton is a great admlrer oil
fairy stories and folk lore, In which he argues
is stored the wisdom of the ages. He once wrote
in extenso Of Jack and the giant and proved to
his own satisfaction and to the entertainment of
his readers that it is perfectly logical that packs
should be victorious over giants.
1t is rather interesting in this connection to
note the practice by press writers and publ
icists to refer to the movements for upturning
things the world over as gigantic there is much
written and said about the ogre of bolshevism.
the giant Proletariat, the huge menace of revo-
luton And although there is specific calling
Of the public, the people as whole, pigmy,
nevertheless there is by implication DISPOSE
ion to regard those who are not part and parcel
Of the threatening. gianthoods as the Jack
On the other hand, there is much trite refer
ence to the people as a composite giant always
able and ready to rise in such might as to over
awe all adversaries. The mighty arm of the
law and the giant strength of the nation are
talked about and believed in.
Without comment it is interesting to revive
Mr.. Chestertan's argument for application ac-
cording to individual choice. Mr.. Chesterton
saws a giant is poor fighter because he lacks
practice; there are few giants and he becomes
lazy, oYerconfdent, lethargic and out of condi-
ton generally Mr. Chesterton says that a
giant is not really brave because he has, or
thinks he has, by reason of his size, no occasion
for fear; and without cause for fear, there is no
real bravery. Mr. Chesterton says giant has
everything to lose and nothing to gain but Sc
curly, and this is taken for granted. Given
then Jack, alert, knowing well his weakness
but daring because of devotion to his cause to
meet all odds, practiced in desperate battles
with other Jacks, armed with weapons his skill
has forged, and he is certain to win the fight
At any rate, it was the Jack of unmilitary free
peoples who beat the German giant. And it
may not be too much to hope that the Jack of
humanitarianism may yet beat the giants that
ARE stalking the world
