THhie fnsures pro- taction against ‘raud In newspaper dis- tribution Aguros to both national and lo- cal advertisera A NECESSARY WORD It is pleasant to read of the action veterans, who at of eighty Confederate had attended the encampment Riehmond, in saluting the President of the ['nited States and waving their caps presumably in honor of the office; and it is pleasant to read of the words of friendliness sent by the con- federates to the veterans of the Union forces, rejoicing over a reunited country. But the pleasure such news brings does not remove the necessity of ut tering the word necessitated by the action of the Confederates in formally blaming the revered Abraham Lin coln for starting the Civil war. A broad charity and a sympathy with human fraity should temper crit icism of these old men for the un called for action. The susceptibility of man to prejudice and inability to for- get a former firm conviction, though erroneous, must be allowed for when such action is considered There should be raised no storm of criticism; there should be no stirring of old hatreds engendered by differ- ence of opinion. But there should be, and there wili be, a strong, convincing, dignified denial of the truth of the inspira- tion of the action by the Confederates assembled. The tone of that denial should be in harmony with the great spirit of forgiveness characteristic of the man whose memory is so wronged by the unjustified accusation that he was responsible for starting the war. Abraham Lincoin would gladly have laid down his life if by so doing he could have preserved the Union with- Striving and succeeding in even out war. preserving the Union cost him his life as absolutely as it cost the lives of many who died in battle. Today, hear- ing the accusation, the man of un- dying honor would have said, a little wistfully perhaps: “It is hard for them to forget; they have suffered mueh.” A GOOD REPRI ATIVE There is nothing blatantly demo- cratic about Chief Justice Taft, and certainly there is nothing of the af- fectation of aristrocracy. Chief Jus- tice Taft is democratic, as a good American, duly observant of proper social amenities and duly appreciative of the dignity of the position of Chiel Justice of the United States, would have him be. From all Taft's at- titude in their association with the titled people of England is in perfect harmony with the American idea of what that attitude should be. Chiefl Justice Taft, in other words, is the sort of representative of which the citizen of this country is proud and Mrs. Taft a fitting associate for him Moreover the attitude of the King of England and the Queen, as- sumed by them toward these sentatives of this country, sems to be an appreciative attitude, Amer- icans will think all the more of Eng- land's ruler because of the cordiality which has been characteristic of their reception of Chief Justice Taft and Mrs. Taft. Appakently there has been no bowing humbly before royalty, and there has been no patronizing by royalty. This is quité as it should be and cause for mild satisfaction. accounts Mrs. as repre- and YALE ATHLETICS And now the gentlemen who have been so concerned over Yale athletics at the present time may take the floor and be heard. In the anxious moment their comments will receive the at- tention they deserve. Players who were ‘benched” because, according to their own version the coach of the baseball team was eager to put men on the team who would help him re- tain his place for next year, may have their important say. Fathers whose sons did not "make the team” and who thérefore believe something is . radically wrong with Yale athletes, will be given respectable attention. ‘Graduates who can look from afar and lay down rules which should gov- | ern the men in New Haven and who " have a somewhat closer view of the . situation, may read oraily their com- munication, conceived in loyalty and " nurtured in knowledge. Meanwhile no reference should be ' made to the Gacts that the Yale crew ‘won'the classic boating event of the ‘pountry: that the Yale nine beat iPeinceton and Harvard, the last game ~ being won rather decistvely, thank Mention the im there dically brought of these things might pression that, at this seems to be nothing exactly wrong with the spirit which these victories, and someone has been developing athletics at Yale falrly well, Mention of them might detract something from the of the complaints that have been But the gentlemen will give instant, force anxious made heard. And meanwhile, also, Yale men are feeling that they do not have to blush when athletics aré mentioned. They like to feel that the athletic season at Yale has ciosed, rather characteristi- cally, with a display of victory brought by determination to win, be “ABSOLUTISM." Never mind about that “Relativity” thing. Of course you have mastered it by this time, and no doubt the study of the affair has given your mentality some much needed exercise. But now that that little espisode in the realms of theory is a thing of the past, turn, If you please, to something that will place you on solid earth again. You need no longer seek the relation of one thing to another and to what a degree certain thing exists—for sverything exists “absolutely There is no question about anything—all is ibsolute. This must be so, for a gen- tieman by the name of Ichira Sakai has discovered the theory of absolut- ism and it is so simple that you heart- iy concur with him when he says he vonders why men of profound think- 18, like Professor Einstein, could not liscover the theory. He, the discov- ‘rer, admits he had no trouble finding he theory—so why should Einstein, or you have any trouble. Kant and jocrates are unimportant in the light f this great new theory. It is sim- licity itself. Listen: “The soul is stern reality, and—" But that is far enough to go. All sther things which the sciéntists have iaid are but relative, and ahout the xistence of which there has been some question—all these things are tern realities also. But the soul nough. If the gentleman is able to ronvince the world on this one little point—that the reality on earth—a thing, by the way, which all old-fashloned, ‘“out-of-date people” who try to lead a God-fearing ife will believe—he wil have accom- plished more than all the reformers 1ave done for ages past. And his dis- overy is most timely. Hail “Absolut- a a is soul is the sternest sm.” THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Many will regret the ‘“good old Jdays” when everyone piled into pic- nic wagons drawn by solid, worthy tarm horses, and rumbled over bumpy roads to the great political outing of the year. It mattered little what the “orator” said; those who at- ended ‘knm\ what ne meant, and they «new, too, that they would be doing quite the proper thing if they ap- plauded every time the speaker paused—they knew he was pausing or that applause. It really mattered very little what the gentleman from ar away should say; it mattered very little what the political party he was praising had done. They, those who attended the outing, were going vote the way the speaker was going to vote anyway because their fathers and their grandfathers had voted that way, just the same as they had gone to the same church these, their descendants, now attended. So it mattered little what were the clothes in which the orator garbed the thoughts that were once presum- ably original, but which were now far more than “twice told tales.” It is a bit different today. The pic- nic wagon The sturdy farm horses remain in their places back on the farm. And the difference extends farther than that between the The peo- ple who attend such outings may not be independent voters. They may be considered quite “regular.” But there are few to whom what the speaker says means nothing. There {s a bare possibility that even the most “reg- jular” of them will do a little think- ing on their own account. An “orator" realizes that people are no longer cat- isfled with the old platitudes. They want to know something about the facts of the political case. It is well that this is so. Few who attended the Republican outing Satur- day placed great political significance upon it. A good time was provided, and a general air of good fellowship The women were there and were in evidence, which added to the attraction of the day. But the “good old days" of achiev- ing political vietory through “hur- rah” meetings have passed. They are pleasant for those who enjoy them, but the pleasure comes from the en- joyment of the soeial intercourse, not from the gloating over the rehearsal of the achievements, real or fancied, of the party in power. to is no more, automobile and the horse. prevailed. RECOGNIZING REAL MERIT It would be a great thing if there might be taken a vote throughout the country the result of which would de- termine what mar or woman had “done the most for the United States” in the year just passed. There is no such vote arranged for. But the recipient of the honor would be able to feel justly that he had been given the highest honor “within the gift of the peopie.” There would be no poli- tics in it——unless the honored person were at onece seized upon by some political party and made a candidate for president at the next election, The tribute would be an honest one. Such a vote is taken each year at Yale, for instance, There are no Hmitations, A man is judged solely by what he has done for his college. It is a fair vote, ree from politics. The man named gains nothing in col- lege from the vote, as when the result is announced he {s about to leave the Institution, other than the aplendid honor. But the event makes a lasting impression upon the young man; his after life is strengthened; he seeks to live up to the standard he himself has set., The Choate school has this custom Young James Cooper, son of Mr, and Mrs. J. E. Cooper of Vine street, was graduated from that school recently, receiving a prize for fine intellectual work, the presidency of his class, and the vote of the students as having done most for his class. In a smaller way-—and smaller merely because the opportunity was smaller—the young man has received this sort of a signal honor. The fact is worthy of note, as any marked recognition of real merit, given in this honest way, is worthy of note. Were all men, young and old, to strive to deserve such honor, the world would be a wonderful place in which: to live, 4 f Facts and Fancies (BY fOBERT QUILLEN) Tales of a Bull Moose revival are accepted by the Old Guard with a Pinchot salt.

LOOKING FOR HURDERERS Fo Ll Four Departmental “Chiefs and 200 Inspectors ‘Are Detailed to Run Down Slayers of Dr. Rathenau, Berlin, June 27.—(By the Associat- °d Press)—Four departmental chiefs ind 200 inspectors are devoting their nergies to following possible clues to the whereahouts of the assassins of IForeign Minister Rathenau while, in addition to the headquarters ac- tivitles flying squads are scouring the whale country. The German government has re- juested the authorities at Helsing- fors, Finland, to detain three men who embarked on the steamship Rugen at Stettin representing themselves as English sailors.
