FOUR OR THREE MILE COURSE? ®* From time to time changes have been urged In the collegiate rowing contests which weuld shorten the four mile course to three for eight oared varsity crews. This idea has obtained varying degrees of support dependent 'pon what actuated the advocate. Its revival is expected after a gruelling struggle in which a number collapse from exhaustion or following the death an untimely age of an athlete who had weakened his heart through such a test of endurance. Nothing has, however, resulted in any determined effort to bring about the change, It was only a few months ago that the University of Wisconsin put the han upon rowing becausp of the detr mental physical effects. Whether that prerapted the <hampioning of the 5| course for the intercollegiate by Cornell is not dis¢losed, s significant that this leader among the Colleges maintaining crews ould be urging the shorter course. ne effect of Cornell's move is lkely to be greater than as if put forward Ty one of the tailende; 1t cannot be claimed that Cornell is urging this change to gain advantage, for it has maintained its station at the front with great regularity 1t is apparently 2 question whether is worth while to maintain the four ile course in view of the fact that Ju as much of a contest and less harm are to be obtained from the cut- ting off of 2 mi The increased at- tention which it is receiving twould scem to indicate the advisability of the shorter course.

The hattle of Aisne gained new laurels for the allies and the checking of the Rus~ sian army in Prussia when it appear- ed to be sweeping everything before it altered the situation along that bat- tle line. In Galicia the Russian troops have operated with success against the Austrians, while the German ‘army has swept across little Belgium but so far there has been no noticeable ivance as the result of the supreme Tort 'of the kaiser's men to reach Dunkirk and the coast. Advances and retreats have alternated along the lengthy battle line in the western the- ater of war the same as it has in Po- nd, There at the present time is aited what the Germans hope will be a decisive batile, but they were but recently driven from an . earlier yositlon before Warsaw and §t will Lo the first time during the war that such has vccurred if Germany is now able fo crush the superior Russian forces. Weal: spots have developed at dif- ferent points as the war has progress- ed, but the millions of men involved and the readiness with which rein- n 2!l branches of the army have been available hes upset many plans and prevented what was intend- ed as a decisive engigement.

It has long been clamoring for recognition as a section demanding more than passing notice. The uncovering ‘of its hidden ‘wealth is bound to be of vast import- ance to the whole country as well as to itself and if it gets what it deserves it' will show that value through the coming annual reports. A TREMENDOUS PRICE. Many and widespread are the ex. pressions deploring the great loss which is belng sustained through the ravages of the foot and mouth dis- ease. It is matural that it is feit the condition is one which should have been. avoided through proper use of authority by those who are appointed for the very purpose of preventing such a danger from spreading through- out the country. A situation which is highly detri- mental, if it exists as indicated, Is that which is revealed by the Boston News Bureau when it says “What & weak administration at the state house means is likely to be exemplified throughout the state unless more en- ergetic measures are taken by someone in authority to check the spread of the hoof and mouth disease. Although thero is supposed to be a state quar- antine, carloads of catile continue to arrive from New York at Brighton, and the Brighton yards from which the disease has been spread about New ¥ngland, have not been thoroughly disinfected and cleaned up. Herds that have begun to be affected are ordered to be kept together and the same men are permitted to attend to both the sick and well cows, with the resuit, of course, of spreading the disease.” If this shows the situation as it is, and it is a condition which exists in a]l the states where the disease has been discovered, there is no reason to be surprised at the manner and rapidity with which it has spread. If the existing epidemic is the result of laxity among the inspecting authori- ties it is a tremendous price which na- tion, state and individual are paying for the failure to enforce laws and regulations. OSBORNE AT SING SING. More than ordinary interest is di- rected at this time to the change in wardens at Sing Sing prison in the state of New York, boih because of the erving need for reform in the methods of conducting that peniten- tiary and because of the man who has been placed in charge. Instead of he- ing conducted as a penal institution, Sing Sing has been made the hive of political corruption. Money and in- fluence have been in control and di- rected a. dangerous partiality. Pri oners with the proper pull have sim- ply made that their headquarters in deference to their sentence, but have been permitted to visit other citles, and given the use of the prison auto, for the transaction of private bus ness. In accepting the wardenship Thomas Mott Osborne does so with a realiza- tion of the responsibilities which go with the office. He has likewise gained some insight as to prison conditions through personal investigation and un- questionably enjoys the confidence of 2 large portion of the people. The ap- pointment gives to him the opportu- for which he has long been seek- ince he has devoted much time to the study of prison problems and has many theories concerning elogy, the value or fallacy of wh! he will have the chance to work out under the respossibility which he as- sumes, but without ignoring the fact that he has a duty to render to the state as well as to the prisoners. There are deserving reforms which that prison needs which should be forth- coming while there is alao reason to belleve that the principle of a square deal will replace corruption.

ZOLA. What a monstrous injustice was the trial of M. Zola, the eminent Irench writer, who was arrested, charged with libeling the French army. The charge against him was preferred by the same set of Frenchmen who had con- signed the innocent Alfred Dreyfus to 2 sentence worse than death. AL._Delegorgue was the president of the ‘Court of Assizes of the Seine, who tried Zola. The hearing consumed 15 days in February, 1899. Hundreds of spectato were present during its continuation and on the most part their conduct was most outrageous and the anti-Dreyfus demonstrations were encouraged rather than other- wise by those in charge of the trial. This rabble was allowed o accentuate the proceedings by clamor of assent or dissent as the evidence suited or dis- pleased them. Zola, early in January of 189 pub- lisheq in a daily paper in Paris called 1’Aurore,” a letter addressed to Pres- ident Faure, in which he charged in no uncertain or mealy terms, an accusa- tion against military tribunals which, in 1894, had condemned another army officer—Dreyfus—to banishment for life a penal settlement after his conviction upon the charge of reveal- ing army secrets to a foreign govern- ment. Esterhazy for his part in the Dreyfus degradation and as the author of the Bordereau, that Zola wrote the letter to the President of France accusing both councils of war of having know- ingly screened the real culprit in_pun- ishing Dreyfus and acquitting Ester- hazy. The letter consumed several columns of The L7Aurore. Thereupon the Min- ister of War, under articles 30 and 31 of e Correctional Press Law of July 281, which punishes defamation, charges ignored all the other libelous criticisms in the letter of what Zola alled “the infamies of the Dreyfue trial mainly behind closed doors and with secret testimony,” and confined l(he prosecution to the charge that the council of war which acquitted Ester- hazy, acted not on evidence, but on government orders to acquit lest con- viction should free Dreyfus and con- vict the prior council of error. Nearly all the Paris papers declared that the honor of the French army had been assailed by Zola and so_initiated a patriotic cry against him. The com- plaint against the prisoner was sub- mitted by Gen. Billot, Minister of War, and after it was read by the county clerk, the attorney general, M, Van Casoel, opened.for the prosecu- tion. After he concluded with a speech consuming half an hour, M. Labori, the advocate of Zola, opene: ‘his defense in a speech that occupie more than three hours. It is said to have been most eloquently delivered. ‘The trial, as it advanced, disclosed great personal feeling between the counsel and strong unconcealed judi- cial bias against Zola. On the second day of the trial Zola asked permission to be heard, which was granted. Of course he admitted writing the letter, but defended his doing so in a brilliant speech, Among the other witneses called were Paty du Clam, who de- clined to answer questions on the ground of military privileges, and Col. Picquart, whose testimony bore great- ly in Zola’s factor. Then the counsel on_ both sides began summing up. Labori’s oration occupied two days and during its presentation so boister- ous became the spectators in the courtroom at times that he stopped upon one occasion and said: “Alas, QMonsieur le Judge, [ am obliged to be my own policeman.” TLabori made a sublime panegyric of his client as author, patriot and friend of all victims of injustice. The sesslons were finally ended and the jury retired for deliberation. After 25 minutes it returped with a verdict of guiity. Then the air was filled with cries of “Long live the army! live France! ‘hese people are cannibals.” The court then adjourned to deter- mine upon the sentence. They return- ed a few minutes later and condemned the prisoner to the maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment and a fine of 3000 france, A few days after adjourmment. the accused appealed from the verdict of the lower court and the appezl being heard by the Court of Cassation on ‘Marh 31, the finding of the jury was sustained, but it applied to Zola what wae called tihe Berenger law remitting sentence imposed upon first ofienders and consequently the sentence was set as A second trial was held on the fol- lowing July 18, but without awaiting the result.

Mr. Editor:, We read in our daily papers that the veterinary surgeons find one or two cows ill with so-called foot and mouth disease, and the next day we read that an entire herd of 60 or more has been killed. The veteri- nary surgeon 'gets his pay, as he should: the state cattle commissioners as they should. The owner ttle gets his, as he should, and the beef trust gets its as - I wor say should, while the poor man who buys the milk and meat gets his in the neck, 2s he has,been doing for some time. The men that are ex- perts probably know their busineps— as they should—but it looks to an ob- server as it the same old -party is made to suffer. Can there not be some way of curing this disease bet- ter than killing 92 well cows that may never come down with if, because six others are sick? Would it not be well to isolate the herd and let our cow doctors try their hand at curing them? Even if they failed, there is a chance that some- thing might be learned by experiment- ing that would be of future benefit. Only a few days ago a sick cow was found in Rhode Island: the ow T said it had been driven over the road from Plainfield, Conn. reful investigation proves that there has not been the first sign of the disease in Plainfield, Conn. Now wouldn’t it have Leen nice to slaugh- ter a lot of Plainfield cows because someone in Rhode Island who had the isease, and knew it, said it was “driven over the road from Plainfleld, Conn I don't pretend to know anything about the disease, but I do know that the man who has to buy his milk by the quart and meat by the pound is being squeezed like the dickens when a herd of cows numbering 92 well and six sick are all killed and the owner paid $90 apiece for them. Looks to me like a mighty good business, having sick cattle in Rhode lsland and Massachu- setts. C.

The fact is, however, the congress elected November 3 does not meet untll a year from Deccmber 7 unless it is called in special session by the president. The congress which meets this December is the old congress. The reason for this almost unbeliev- able delay in meeting to carry out the expressed will of the election is to be found in the history of congress. ‘When that body was created there were no railroads, no telegraphs, no steamships and the men elected were obliged to take journeys on horseback or stage sometimes requiring months. The constitution malers purposely left a sufficient interval for these journeys. In addition they were gentlemen who believed in the “sober second thought” of the people, and in “checks and bal- ances” on what the people wanted. The long interval was one of the “checks.” 1t is out of date and ought to be abolished.—New Leader.

Xerxes came this way with his vast army for the inyasion of Eu- rope, and crossed the Dardanelles, then kmown as the Hellespont, over a pon- toon bridge, constructed near Abydos, on the Asiatic side, and touching Gre- cian shores near stos, where the waterway is about 6,500 feet wide. It was on this ac n that the capri- cious currents of the strait called forth the most historic spanking ever | given. They carried away' the pon- toons, whereupon Xerxes ordered the !
