ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY.

President Cary st. his newly faculty
have thrown bomb shell into the ranks of those who the
body which governs the Athletic department of the college,
members of the football team declared Ineligible
and prohibited for two weeks from practcng with the
squad, because of deficiency in their class standing.
This probably is not popular with the student body
but from those who have the welfare of the old institution at
heart, this action will receive unstinted commentator.

the greatest danger menacng such organization the

We have always thought that sole athletic eligibility in col

upon class work satisfactory to the heads of the different depart

LEST WE FORGET

The speech of Carter Glass of
Virginia must have helped to
swell the Unexpectedly large ma
jority by which the Senate ap-
lroved the British debt settle
lnent. Senator Glass is a recog-
nized authority on public finance,
and his defense of the agreement
met some of the technical Objec-
tons in a mastery way. But on
the main question it was his log.
ic touched with emotion that
most moved the Senate. He
sought to recall and vivify anew
the great national sentiment
which swept and bound together
this country during the war.
Then we had nothing but admira-
ton for the steadfastness of
England and the heroic tenacity
Of France, as they fought our
battles, and the battles of civil
7ation, before we could stand
shoulder to shoulder with them,
ard were eager to put our treas
ure at their disposal while we
shouted encouragement to them
and babe them hold on until our
armies could take the field. From
that spirit of devotion and COM
r2deship it is. as Mr.. Glass says,
a miserable descent to the buck
atering attitude of certain Sena-
tors today.
No one wishes to bring back
war animosities. but Americans
will wrong themselves if they
permit the motives and aims
with which they entered the
struggle to become du,led or dis
tcrted. It was a work for all the
world which they undertook, and
it is not yet finished. The debate
and the decision Of Congress is
TIE matter of the British debt
ought to serve to quicken our
memories and animate US afresh
with something Of the high re-
solve with which we set out to do
our part in freeing wankind
frcm the fear of aggression snd
ravage. The emancipation is
still to be cOmpleted.-New York

THE LURE OF OLD BOOKS

1t is probable that those who
have never experienced the de-
lights of browsing among old
/ books will be the most excited By
the discovery of the London pro-
fessor who found in seventeenth
century volume of Orvid, pur-
chased in a secondhand shop, sev-
eral hitherto unknown poems by
Milton. And those who order
their books new, largely on the
strength Of what their friends are
reading. will feel that this dis
covery explains the lure of the
secondhand bookship. There IL
some reason, they will say, in
wasting time in such musty en-
vironment if there are treasures
as valuable rs that to be picked
up.
But the knowledge that treasure
trove like this Milton discovery
may occasionally be unearthed,
while it adds certain flavor to
III quest of confirmed book!ov-
ers, is very incomplete eXplna-
ton of why the secondhand book
ship flourishes in literary COM
munities. Such an explanation
would be as Incorrect as an asser
ton that people eat raw oysters
because there is always the pos
sibility of finding pearls among
them.
What the booklover really seeks
among the rows of old and tat
tered volumes is hard to define.
Occasionally it is some particular
cut-of- print volume which he has
long desired and never been able
to obtain for his very own. Some
times it is an early edition .Qr Il
rare work which will add distine-
ton and prestige to his collection.
More often the quest is for moth
ing in particular. The real de
voice wanders through these dus-
ty naveS of literature Knowing
that the mere contemplation OF
books which have acquired a per-
sonality of their own is its own
reward. Even if no purchase is
made the time offered for lit
erary meditation is well spent.
That is the real difference be
tween a secondhand and a new

book shop. Tie former is place
for revery and dreams, the lat
ter too often a shop like any
other.
Indeed, those who patronize
old book dealers are animated by
a spirit not unlike that which
Inspired Columbus. Magellan,
Hudson, DeGama and other early
navigators. To both types the
quest is important for itself alone.
If that quest leads incidentally
to the discovery of some new con-
TRENT or some unpublished poems
of Milton, so much the better.
But even without such unusual
rewards your true adventureer
geographical or spiritual, will go
on seeking.-Baltimore Sun.

OUR NEW CITY GOVERNMENT

The remarks OF the Hon. James X. Cation
before the Retail Merchants Association a
few nights ago, the effect OF which was to
ask a suspension OF the judgment OF the peo-
pie upon our new form 0f government until
it has been given fair trial came at time
" moment and from a man who is largely
responsible for the adoption OF our new plan
of city government and we concur III both
the sentiment and its purpose,
Everybody who has lived in Alexandria
for, any length OF time is familiar with the
many little cliqueS and clans which have, for
half century, interfcred with the real prog
ress OF our City, and know how quickly a
prejudice can be produced by those who have
the time at their disposal to keep up con-
slant agitatiOn.-thOSe who have never been
known to build but who are conspicuous in in
terfering with and destroying the building
and purposes OF others And 50, our fellow
Townsman, MIR Cation has properly struck a
note of suspension of judgment until fair
trial OF what we have undertaken III the form
of new government is had. MIR. Cation,
however, should not be misunderstood, or
rather, understood as irving to prevent fair
criticisms OF those who are charged with the
responsibility at present OF managing our
Ci0S affairs We have selected good men
whom we believe have the interests OF the
City at heart, and they should not he over

sustain not only the plan which has been
adopted by the people but the gentlemen who
have been elected to carry that plan into exc
cution; but those gentlemen should not have
4 miSconSeption OF their responsibilities. They
are men OF high character, have given most
of their wears to private business, and have
had little concern with public affairs and
perhaps, given little thought to the iundameut-
al principles which underlie a government by
the pc Die They have been in the habit OF
running their own business to suit themselves
and have, in the main, perhaps, been success
full. When it comes to managing the bust

regard to the wishes OF the whole people, their
tenure OF office will be short and their admin

responsible when the responsibility belongs
elsewhere.
