Dignifying an American Game.

TIE game of poker is held by many authorities
i Ito be science in ITSELF and why not when
mach respect is accorded the great chess players
and lattery the outstanding figures at auction
bridge?
Now comes Columbia University with the
announcement that poker is included in its list
of student subjects. In this connection, the Balt
moresSun has some interesting thoughts, declaring
that there may be persons lacking in sympathy
who avill dcnounce the introduction of the study
as part of a collegiate curriculum but that
thoughtful Investigators of the dark corners of
our ntellectual sub-cellars will defend as truly
scientific experiment the investigation of the poker
complex"
II must be clear to anyone, of real under
standing, goes the Sun, shat the study of poker
comes within the legitimate functions of uniyer.
sity education. Poker is exercise for the high
brow, not for the lowbrow To excel in the game
requires combination of natural genius,
acquitted science, self-control and temperament
that is born, not made. The great poker artist
has peculiar mind, which functions almost auto
matically, and with whose processes he himself
is not entirely familiar.
Universities being instituted for the develop
ment of the brain, the study of the poker mind
is obviously of the highest importance, because
its peculsrities suggest qualities that might be
applied 'with advantage to more serious business.
In point OF fact, the Napoleons of poker
often the Napoleons of finance and of
constructive industry, and possibly the investi-
cations at Columbia may demonstrate that such
men John d. Rockefeller and Henry Ford
would have been poker players of the first class
if they had given attention to the game. 1t would
be interesting if they would submit to tests on
this subject in the psychological laboratory OF
Columbia.
Much time has been frittered away in s4he
universities in culture studies in grubbing around
in the dead ashes OF the classics in examination of
social PHILOSOPHERS. human historical experience and
economic theories. All this evidently has been
so much waste motion. The poker mind is the

twice in fifty years.
Now Wilson proposed a league
of nations and Lloyd George pro-
posed a defensive treaty and the
French surrendered their demand
for a buffer state and accepted the
other proposals. The defensive
treaty was never born. The league
of nations is defunct so far as as

power. The result Is France is
left with no security but her own
resources; really Frances position
Is worse than before the war.
Before the war she had an alli-
ance with Russia and an under
standing with England. and now
she has nothing. France is fearful
of another attack from Germany
just as soon as Germany is strong
enough to come back. That fear
casts a shadow over all the think
ing people of France. therefore she
feels she must maintain her mill
tary forces in sufficient strength
to- be able to protect herself. The
French people feel, NJ. BRAND has
said repeatedly. that France would
disarm Immediately IL guaranteed
protection against aggression. Her
spirit toward disarmament may be
seen from the fact that although
her colonial possessions are sur
passed only by Great Britain she
has accepted Limitation of her
naval armament to less than 40 per
cent that of Great Britain and only
two-thirds the strength of Japan.

IN Wednesday morning The Herald hazarded
~ a criticism the insipid weather of the
past two winters, though perturbation was
felt and expressed at this "whistling for wind
expedient. And the superstition certainly seemed
to have foundation in fact! The Herald was
little more than off the presses when a torrential
downpour commenced, changing into sleet and later
to snow, and the North Wind howled about the
Capital.
We all know what pranks the storm played and
what damage it did locally. 1t was worse in some
of the Eastern centers, and in the Quaker City,
the Philadelphia Ledger found much to wall over
in respect to the remarkable and tricky curbs
boosted by that metropolis.
Says the Ledger:
Long we'll remember it, what can resemble
it, what things assemble it, ice rain and snow!
And not these alone, but driving gale; they
say it from the South, region we may
forgive for its Confederacy and Andersonvillc but
for this. And this January II, this dies irae
will never be forgotten in these parts for we got
it worse than the others did
Why? Can anyone ask who got the full
force of the misdeeds of Philadelphia and the cities
that cluster round her plumb in the face, as we
all did yesterday? In other cities, outside the
Philadelphia belt, you could step out of trolley
car without initiating the celebrated Dr. Foster,
of Gloucester, who stepped in puddle up to
his middle and never got up again. Then there
were the cufbs, the curbs of Philadelphia and her
surrounding cities. Through the years they have
come to slant gradually downward and get
rounded and polished; till yesterday when you
started to leap from tie slush to the sidewalk,
you saw all of sudden that you couldn't be-
cause the sidewalk on which you would land was
all shiny and rounded, and you would land on
downward slide that slid toward you. You would
slip back from that into the gutter the old slust-
filled gutter, the watery gutter that stopped by the
curb. ~
Perhaps it blew its iercest in fierce old
Boston, which has the worst weather in the world;
but the hardy, Irish population of New Englands
capital had nothing of this Philadelphia sort to
contend with. The Murphys and Galatians who
have followed Holmes and Lowell and the last
lone aristocrats of the Back Bay may have found
the weather harder TO bear but was clean weather
and when they 1eaped they leaped to security,
not to slippery ignominy. The crisp New Yorker,
too, cursing his weather as the worst in the At
antic slide, as least stepped from his trolley on to
pavement and not up to his middle The Jersey
Cityman had not much the best of u.s. but he did
not have to sskate for his life. For the Phila-
delphian and the citizen of those small cities that
ring us there was only one consolation-there was
no mouth-hlling dust, despite the fact that the
city government runs the street-dirtying depart
ment And it's been many a long day since any of
us could say thats
