LECTURE TOUR SPOILED.

'nNE lecturers invasion Of the United States
S/has been nipped in the bud and the Hon John
Fortescue, president Of the Royal Historical
Society Of England will have to betake himself
back to his own country and there ponder upon
the embarrassment Of the written word that go
often arises to fconfound imankind.<
Mr. Fortescue Is a brilliant and well known Eng
lishman Of letters He is student Of offairs.
and at one time in high dspleasure at the United
states, he recorded that the American nation had
no honor in international administration and was
Of shiftlegsness in attitude and spirit that rem
dered this country untrustworthy and dishouor-
able in her contracts and promises regarding other
nations
This opinion was written in 1911, and IL. was
written for English consumption, naturally.
Doubtless the author thought no American had
read IT., or II any American ever had read it that
1t would have passed into the limbo Of forgotten
things. Probably Mr.. Fortescue, himself had for.
gotten all about it. But here the other day, tile
man OF letters decided to come to the United States
and make tour Of the country. He was invited
to speak at West Point to the cadets and accepted
the invitation: Everything was set, when like a
ghost at the banquet, arose some American book
worm, who had been freshening up his mind about
Fortescue, with all this nasty accusation against
America, written by the unfortunate historian.
west Point called on the engagement, and Ike
row of standing domnees the rest of the lecture
tour collapsed and there is nothing for the pres-
dent of the English Geographical Society to do
but take hasty look around and go back to
swing the gayel over the august body he controls.
Mr.. Fortescue says that he has changed his
opinion regarding America. That he wrote the
adverse opinion in moment of pique. Sensible
Americans will believe him. II the English barred
every American who said nasty things about Eng
land, there would be few pass ports issued. Every
man has his moments Of disgust and anger, most
of which are unloaded in wordy expression 1t is
the unfortunate man who writes them out of his
heart instead of speaking them out Of his heart,
and he is thrice unfortunate who writes thus for
the press. 1t is a tempest in a teapot over Mr..
Fortescue's writings of 1911 He nigh: have had
r:uch of interest to say to the American public,
and there would have been satisfaction, too, In
making scholar and thinker really like US, and
so away glad Of. having been here

now on she will be a force to be reckoned with
when football schedules are made out for the sea-

This team could be matched with confidence
against any other unbeaten team today. 1t is
doubtful e there is another team in such pink Of
physisal condition as that of West Virginia Uni
yefsity. In the conflict with Washington and JEFF

football veterans declare they witnessed one OF

players Although the opposing team was much
heavier than West Virginia. the university play

had been so carefully hardened and prepared by
excellent training and exercise that they could
Withstand easily the punishment that taxed tho
other team to the limit OF its endurance.
West Virginia has not only an indicated team
thatscould tackle Cornell Princeton, or any
other eastern champion team with utmost conf

West virginia baltimore and Ohio officials went
into some West Virginia problems, with coal
operators here a few days ago. The entire bpsi-

tors recognize this to be true. labor knows it,
transportation knows IT,. and the public certainly
has grave reason to know It. Since this Is true,
and since every person whom coal production
touches realizes It to be true, there should surely
be heartiest cooperation from every individual with

When surrounding circumstances call for bile
Anger has It's healthy aboishng abuses
Which good humor is patient to resent,
And lot Of great unheavas which have

Are results of incaudescen discomfort
There are people for example who lncontnenty trample
On the rights OF any smiling ysaged bunch
But who rapidly retire from the grim, unsming ire

There is often lots merit motto Grin and bear
When you ind q heap OF troubles in your path,
And We smile at things we ought to view with wrath
It is silly and scandal.to be flying OF the handle
At each petty thing that happens to go wrong
But at certain times and there muarous reasons
Why should be violent strong
Though find life beguing II keep smiling
We shall leave things very much they have been
