STANFORD'S ELEVEN,
UNDER WARNER, MAY
DEFEAT CALIFORNIA
Coast Critics So Say After
Sizing Up Material
in Spring.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York. April 17.-Glenn War
ner is now at work conducting spring
football practice at Leland Stanford
university. Warner has done moth
ing startling in the way of preparing
his men for the autumn football sea
son; fundamentals have been the rule,
None the less. word has leaked east
ward that Warner thinks highly OF
his material and believes that the
Stanford team has better than an even
! chance to beat California next fall.
I Californians whose opinions are en-
| titled TO respect advise the writer
that in addition 10 Warmers ministra-
ton. Stanford will have available
pretty nearly all the players who
made such fine showing against all
opponents last year while the Berke-
ley Bears will have to work up a lot
of new material to replace last sea-
sons stars.
The Massachusetts, Golf Association
has filed a formal petition with the
| United States Golf Association re-
questing that the age limit of caddics
be extended from 10 to IL years Of
age. From the large number of re-
quests for reinstatement of caddies re-
ceived by the committee on amateur
status and conduct, it would seem as
though the rule that caddies may not
carry clubs after they are 10 years
old were a new one, whereas it is one
of the Oldest rulings defining an anna
teur golfer.
Rowing is the great major sport at
the University of Washington. 1t is
approached in popular favor with
students and alumni only by football.
Two years as national intercollegiate
rowing champions have had something
to do with this: a great deal prob
ably. but the fact remains that with
a fine body Of water for rowing in
near proximity to the university and
a mild northern climate which enables
the men to turn out in long seasons,
the aquatic idea has unequalled op-
portunities for development.
Showing the supremacy of the
Huskies on the water. il might b.
set forth that since and including
1903. when Washington first entered
the intercollegiate sport, Washington
has won seventeen regattas, Califor-
MIA five and Stanford three.

NEW JERSEY TROLLEY FARE

The eight cent trolley fare obtained in New Jersey. The company lost money. This was an annual deficit. The fare was reduced to five cents. just for a trial. last September. Just the other evening the president Of the
 Public Service Corporation announced that New Jersey will keep it's present
 five cent fare indefinitely. Further
 more he indicated that the Public Service Railway Company which oper- ates the trolley system had not only found a , cent fare profitable thus far, but, after a long run Of defcts this revenue might even enable the corpor- ation to turn the corner" He eN- pressed the hope that continued CO., operation Of tho people Of New Jersey would finally eliminate all loss in operation"
 Well. there you are, Certainly New Jersey is not Connecticut, but New Jersey has competition between the jitneys and the trolleys and Connecti- cut has now very little of it since the public utilities commission has taken the stand that it must protect the company. The difference seems to be fhat~sfle public service corporation in New Jersey has sought and has ob- tained the cooperation Of the people.

PRESIDENT ID ACT
 ONLY UPON ADVICE
Turns Down Senate Request for
 Denby'S Resignation

Washington, Feb. 12.--Upon being
 officially notified that the senate, Al
 to 34, had voted to request him tt
 ask for Denby's resignation, Presiden,
 Coolidge issued the following state
 ment in reply:
 1 ''No official recognition can be given 1 to the passage of the senate resolution i relative to their opinion concerning
 members of the cabinet or other off, | cers under executive control. 1 As soon as special counsel can ad- l wise me as to the legality of these 1 leases and assemble for me the pertin- ent facts in the various transactions,
 I shall take such action as seems es-
 sential for the full protection of the public interest. I shall not hesitate to call for the resignation of any official whose conduct in this matter in any way warrants such action upon my part The dismissal of an officer of the government such as is involved in this
 case, other than by impeachment, is
 exclusively an executive function. l regard this as vital principle of our government.
 Tn discussing this principle. MT. Madison, has well said: It is laid down in most of the constitutions or bills of rights in the republic of America; it is to be found in the po- litical writings of the most celebrated civilians, and is everywhere held as essential to the preservation of liberty, that the three great departments of government be kept separate and dis tinct.'
 'President Cleveland likewise stated the correct principle in discussing re- quests and demands made by the senate upon him and upon different departments of the government, in which he said:
 They assume the right of the senate to sit in--judgment upon the exercise of my exclusive discretion and executive function, for which I am solely responsible to the people from whom I have so lately received the sacred trust of office.
 My oath to support and defend the constitution, my duty to the peo- pie who have chosen me to execute the powers of their great office and not to relinquish them, and my duty to the chief magistracy which l must preserve unimpaired in all it's dignity and vigor, compel me to refuse com pliance with these demands.
 '"The president is responsible to the people for his conduct relative to the retention or dismissal of public off, cials. l assume that responsibility and the people may be assured that as soon as I can be advised so that may act with entire justice to all par ties concerned and fully protect the public interest, l shall act.
 'I do not propose to sacrifice any man for my own welfare, nor do l propose to retain in office any unfit man for my own welfare. I shall thy to maintain the functions of the government nnimpalred, to act upon the evidence and the law as I find it, and to deal thoroughly and with every kind of wrong doing

MORE CLAssRooMs NEEDED

Greater perhaps, even, than the complaint about the amount Of money devoted to school purposes, is the general feeling against having many Of our schoolchildren on part time" Year after year there has been the criticism of the school board for the requests it has made for more money. II has gained the reputation Of being extravagant. and this fact might. bet ter be faced than avoided. The mo- ment plain talk is given a chance half the battle is won by the advocates Of the right course whether. in this case, it has been the board or the op- ponents of the board. This reputation for extrava gance has not been helped any by the constantly repeated state ment Of fact that about half Of the cost ofs running the city comes from school expenses.
 In all the above. it will be noticed. the word reputation" has been used. Reputation does not mean "chsrac- ter" It is only that the school officials have gained a reputation" for ex- travagance that is here noted.
 But recently these complaints against school extravaganza" have given way before a general complaint about the necessity Of placing chii- dren on half time. and complaints that some children did not have proper accommodations This was the be- ginning Of a greater reasonableness- g dawning Of light that has. in a measure. shown what the school board has been and still is up against" When tho people begin to think less Of the money spent. and more Of the education Of their children and the opportunities they are missing, then

Columbia. s. C., Feb. i2.-The South Carolina house of representa-. tives has withdrawn its invitation to address it extended to Senator Reed Of Missouri. candidate for the demo- cratic nomination. for president. The houses action, taken last night after a vehement discussion in which only . two members expressed opposition, does not affect similar invitations ex- tended to Senator Underwood Of Ala bama and William c.

 Senator Reed was assailed for his opposition to the policies Woodrow Wilson and also was described during the debate as Ca traitor to his eoun- try" The resolution withdrawing the invitation states that he does not represent the highest ideals Of the people of this state and is not in thorough accord with the democratic party. and in our opinion would not be supported by the electorate Of South Carolina"

wisdom and greater understanding get their day in court.
 Under such circumstances it is well that the school department has issued a bulletin to supplement- it's requests for funds with which to carry out it's building program, such bulletin showing the need of S1 additional classrooms. the number of portable schools and basement or corridor rooms now being used in an attempt to provide accommodation for the pupils.
 The Herald has urged continually that d more thorough understanding hy the taxpayers of the school situa- ton and the details of the children's needs, would bring willing action by the people to get those things. those accommodations that are needed. The Herald is not in q position to state that the suggestions of the school committee should be followed in de- tail, but this newspaper does feel that the taxpayers of the city are far more inclined today, when the school needs are better known than formerly. to meet the school committee half way in providing adequate quarters for all the children of school age in the city and for those who may reasonably be expected to become school children here.

CONTRAST

Possibly today is as good as any to emphasize the benefits we of New Britain have and which we fail to realize properly. The press of the country is full of details of new de- velopments Of the scandals being aired in Washington. For the first time within the memory of most of lis, there is a feeling that the partially forced determination to clean up things may penetrate into places as yet considered impregnable. But even though nothing new should come to light, there is enough already to inn press even the casual thinker with the sordidness that has pcrmeated gov ernmental departments.
 And yet those men who serve us in Washington are men who are paid with our money to attend to their duties and to show the greatest loyalty to us They, some of them, have not been satisfied with their wage, suffl- cient to give them comparative pros perity. They have sought to use their places of trust to advance their own selfish interests, and they hang on like grim death to those positions,
 This week, in this city, there will be in city hall nearly dozen meetings of committees and officials to transact city business of the men who will meet together, has been done, will be vast ed. There is much work to do and il will be done. Of course the element of politics will enter in some degree. but nothing savoring Of personal dis honesty, breach Of trust, will inspire any action Moreover most of these men who will devote time and thought to your affairs, our affairs, the affairs of the city, will be men who receive no financial compensation for such time and thought. Some may be actu- ated by desire for personal political advancement--but not many of them, Some may have an especial interest in some matter, because of friend- ship or because Of the effect some ae- ton may have upon them. Here enters the personal equation.
 But these ulterlor motives will sink in importance before the keen desire of the men who work for us, mainly without pay. and in our interests. The word graft" is not heard about the men who meot in city hall. Few would ! dare 10 suggest that graft is sought ! No one, it is believed, would be Iusti. fled in saying graft is found.
 This is one Of the aspect of this city l which should be properly appreciated. i
 one seldom misses good health un- i til sickness comes, And there is no need of "knoching wood" when we say that New Britain is free from graft, whatever else there is to be criticized.

LINCOLN

The thought of Abraham Lincoln today cannot but give new courage tc every man and women depressed by the revelations of dishonesty. faith. lessness, selfishness and corruption in high places. As in the past great men have risen in world crises-as Lincoln appeared at a time when such a one as he was necdcd-so it would seem that occasion to remind us of them come, such as today, the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday, when men are moved to feel that full confidence may never be given to those chosen for places of trust.
 Great as was Abraham Lincoln and there are few who fail to give his memory its due not only in this coun- try but in Europe--loyalty and honor did not die when the assassin killed him. In looking back at his life, the picture clarified by time with times crasure Of unjust criticisms and nasty judgments, that life stands out as a model in the mans service to his country and his country's people. both as the nations citizenry and as indi- vidual units of it. AS a lesson in the strength and splendor of humility, yet maintaining properS in his own beliefs there is but one greater example, human or divine. As lesson in the power of broad vision. temper cd by an appreciation Of immediate limitations, his attitude Is the stan dard
 Today comes before us the vivid picture Of that man Lincoln. The last word will never be said as to the effect his life had upon this country al- though there Is little to repeat of its humble. beginnings, its abundant de- Nolopmcnt. IL is enough for us now today, to remember those sterling quaiities of the great American, tender and strong. gracious and awkward, rough and fine, and, remembering to renew our faith in human nature.
 With the thought of Lincoln will come memories of others who have emuated him; will come the convic- iion that others all through the years will try to live as he lived in earnest endeavor to use their great talents un- selfishly, courageously, for the benefit of others. And there is the further thought that We, each of us, in our own influence, our achievements. as splendid relatively as were his. This renewed confidence in the continued existence in the world and in our selves Of the qualities that made Lin cold a world hero will take from US much of the hopeless feeling that comes when the scandals Of the day are held before Us. This is one Of the tremendous things the memory or Abraham Lincoln does for us today
