,ge cannonading and failure to r g ect the international rules of war- _ | fare, whereby -the foreign residents the city are glven no more protectio than the enemy all points to this eon. clusion. A desperate situation exists in the republic’s capital -with no im- mediate prospect of it being changed until a decistve victory brings it about. Madero in his caged position has poor control over the situation, while Diaz is placifig all the responsibility upon him ang assuming none himself. This attitude will not cause the United States to send an army of in- tervention into - Mexico. The safety and . protection of the Americans and other foreigners there will be demand- ed and the government is prepared to see that this is assured, but interven- tion is a different thing. Such would mean an endless task for a large army, _the sacrifice of hundreds of lives amd the assumption of responsibility in that republic of guerilla warfare which is far from desirable. Wise action has Deen taken in the restraint thus far and there is every reason to believe that it will continue to prevail and ico will be given every op- to adjust its own affairs.

Eliot of Harvard, who is also president of the National Civil Service Reform league, is either not consistent, or has been misquoted in a hearing in the Massa- chusetts state house when he was made to criticise the action of Pres- ident Taft in placing the fourth class postmasters in the classified service just after election” and characteriz- ing it as a blow at true civil ser- vice from the capital. . This is in direct opposition:to what he must know, for the order of the president‘was issued three weeks be- fore election, 'and it has received through resolutions the endorsement of the league and Mr. Eliot at Mil waukee as a worthy extension of civil service, and the merit system. In de- claring this recent expression surpris- ing, the New York Tribune says: “It ig h&rfl to square Dr. Eliot’s atti- tude at?Milwaukee with the remarks attributed to him in Boston. Anybody familiar with the spread of the merit system in this country must realize that If offices are to be put into the Classified service the incumbents must receive whatever benefit may come from the change from an uncertain to a permaneént tenure. It would be rank spoilsmanship to empty the of- fices just before transfer and to refill them with different placeholders just after transfer.” Such decidedly opposite opinions within such a short time and on a matter of recent date seem inconsist- ent with Dr. Eliot and particularly so when he is connected so prominently with the reform league in civil ser- 1005, average February 8. THE COUNTY SANATORIUM. The reception of patients at the tuberculosis sanatorium of New Lon- don county marks the culmination of an effort which has been underway for, & long time and means the realization of the movement to better the condi- tlon of those afflicted or threatened with the dreaded consumption. This institution under its efficient manage- ment is destined to be onme of the greatest biessings to this end of the wstate, as it develops in its mission of ‘merey. It means to this end of Con- necticut the same as a hospital does to every city. It is a necessity for giv- Ing those needing it advantages which Jould not otherwise be obtained and #hich are important to successful dreatment. Conveniences, attention, proper care and the best methods of treatment are assured. Connecticut is doing a magnificent work in behalf of the world-wide cru- sade to stamp out the white plague by the establishment of sanatoria in the different counties and the local institution is a decideq eredit to the _effictency, wisdom and judgment of the state commission. It marks their greatest effort and embodies the re- sults of their long experience in the location, building and operation | of such imstitutions. The state has done well and will continue its work under its limited provisions. Obligation now rests upon Norwich and the other towns of New London and Windham counties to see that they do their part in giving their tuberculosis sufferers the benefit of the treatment at the Institution. A num- er of organizations have been started for the purpose of making financial assistance possible without requiring town ald and therein evervone has a part he can play. To accomplish the greatest good the sanatorium should be taken advantage of by all those for whom it holds out a hope. CORNERS ARE ILLEGAL. There is reason to believe that James Patten could well afford to pay the $4,000 Imposed upon him for caus- Ing a corner in cotton, and then have » handsome profit left as the result of his operations. Mr. Patten is a past master in operating “corners” and he has gained and lost by such plunging as has characterized his con- trol of necessary commodities. That he should be fined no larger amount, an insignificant sum when it is real- ized that millions often result from such control, has caused not a little criticism. Yet it must be remembered that Mr. Patten has dore only what imany other big traders have done in this direction for so long that the practice seemed to be common prop- erty for whoever dared to chance the risk. The law has now been invoked and a successful prosecution under the law made, establishing the fact that such action is in restraint of trade and unlawful. Mr. Patten, the first to be prosecuted in pleading gulity was Eiven a light fine, but it serves in the way of a precedent for the future. Corners are illegal and warning is thereby given in a manner - which should be convincing to any other who may hope to rise to the million- EDITORIAL NOTES. The “moving season” has struck on at the White House once more. Tt is about time for plans to be form- ulated for the overthrow of the suc- cessor of Madero. Sand is a good thing for most any- one, but it is also an excellent thing for lcy sidewalks. Happy thought for today: The south pole. and Mexico City are the two extremes of temperature just now. After the Bulgarians had shown Turkey the way to peace, they had to go to war and prove it to them. Mexico has as large a proportion of its people who like to fight as there are railroad firemen who want to strike. The Sick Man of Europe has gotten to the point where he cannot borrow. That is a sure sign of the approach of the -end. Slot machine makers are objefting to the new nickel. Anyone will kick when their chief means of livelihood is cuf off. This country cannot afford to have a strike of the firemen on the rail- roads and every effort must be used to prevent it. This is the season and the weather when, the norses should mnot be tied in the cold for hours without atten- tion or protection. Either Wilson is having a hard time finding suitable democrats or he is considering the retention of some of President Taft’s cabinet. Alexico needs some men of. the prop- er stamp to direct the government but most of all it should have a great- er regard for law and order.

Tt is the effectiven of the law which is the crowning feature In this’ prosecution and hereafter it behooves plungers to take that into ‘tonsideration. LAW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT. According to figures compiled by the United States bureau of education there has not been such a large in- crease in the number of law schools In the country during the past decade, but rather a development of those ex- | Isting with a marked increase in the | number who have been graduated with -legrees, and an increase by over one- half in the number who are studying | in the schools.

The number of students studying law in these schools increased from 13,912 to 20, 760 in the same period, the graduates | increasing by a third.

New Haven, Feb, 13.—At & mi:n& of the Yale chapter of Phi ppa 29 men from the junior class were clected to membership last night, and among them was us Winslow ‘Williams of Yantic, Conn. The highest average In scholarship for the first half of the college course was 3.66, made by Kendrick D, Burroughs of Cape Giradeah, Md. Nine men from Connecticut made the society. English is the most popular study in college, the records of elective courses completed last week in the dean’s of- fice show. Twenty-five main courses of study are open to the academical students, and only two, Scandinavian and Japanese, are not studied. Of these departments, English leads with 1,205 students enrolled in its 22 sub- departments. In economics there are 1,088 men, and 778 are studying some one or more of the 26 branch courses of history. These statistics are for elective courses and do not apply to the freshmen, who have no free choice of work. Prof. William TLyon Phelps’' course in Tennyson and Browning is easily the most popular, with 339 men taught by this one professor, in five divisions. Philosephy, with its sub-divisions in psychology, is studied by 555 men; 192 seniors are studying law courses. .In physics are 282 men, in mathematics 73, in chemistry 241, in geology 187, and biology 233. Latin has 218 men in the .various courses, and Greek. has fallen to 155. The majority of these are sophomores and the statistics show conclusively the free use made of the elective system in the last two years. The plans for the new Yale coliseum were submitted at a meeting of the committee of twenty-one in New York on Tuesday and the original plans of C. A. Ferry and the later and different plans of Richard Dana were discuesed. The committee heard the reports of a number of engineers and sub-commit- tees @nd then decided to refer all the plans ta Alfred Noble of Philadeiphia for suggestions. The engineering ad- visors of the board will make their final report in a week or two, it is ex- pected. At Yale ' fleld during the winter as much work as possible has been done in leveling and grading various parts of the new hundred acre tract of land so that in the spring a number of baseball diamonds and athletic fields can be laid out without delay. It is also hoped in the way of additional athletic facilities to have the mew Racebrook golf course laid out beyond Yale field by Robert D. Hyde of the New Haven Country club ready for use by June 1. The clubhouse will be completed by July 1. Membership in the new club will be limited to 350, of whom 150 may be undergraduates .in the universit Whether Yale wins or loses this year's race—and the alumni expect her to win—the important thing which should be kept constantly in the fore- ground, writes Nathaniel T. Guernsey. ’81, who rowed on the university eight four years, that, speaking generally, success means someone’s good judg- ment, and failure means someone's poor judgment. This will make for sound business methods in the treat- ment of this question and such meth- ods will bring results. The man who can best coach the crew should be selected for this aork, whether he be an amateur or a profes- ional. My judgment is—and no one with whom T have discussed the matter has differed with me—that there is no sound method in barring professional coaches. If a professional oarsman knows more about rowing and can teach it better than an amateur, that is a very good reason for employing him, if the result sought is good row- ing. I fear this may pass as rank heresy in New Haven at present. Twenty years ago it would have been rank heresy in Cambridge and sound doctrine in New Haven. At that time Yele was winning and Harvard was losing. Hearty support by the older alumni is pledged by Mr. Guernsey for Coaches Harriman and Rogers, but he says that they would have 'greater confidence in the English stroke if Harvard's experience a few vears ago had been less unsatisfactory and if Courtney of Cornell had changed his style after studving rowing in Eng- land. In one sport at least Yale is a win- ner, this season, and that branch is water sports. The swimming team met Harvard in the Carnegie pool Satur- day night and the- visitors did not win a single first or second place. The final score was 48-5, the latter points being necessarily secured by Harvard in the five swimming events in which only two contestants are entered by the competing swimming teams. In basket ball, too, the Yale five came back in fine form Wednesday night by defeating Princeton after a hard fight 29 to 22. In hockey, Yale | was not so fortunate and Princeton won 8 to 2.
