On this subject the president writes:
"We are all in favor of college athletic-,, but
one of the defects of such a system is the teud-
eney to confine athleti- s to those who are natur-
ally best adapted to them, while the great stud-
ent body manifests its interest not by athletic
practice, but by attendance at the exhibitions
of the few."'
There are many good people who will not agree
with President Taft in his enthusiastic indorsement
of military truining for voting men.
Such people abhor the very thought of military
exercise and would even deprive the small boy of
his toy soldiers and tin sword, because su,.-h things
might put military notions in bis head.

THEN AND NOW
Fifty year= ago, comments the editor
of the Inde:>endent .there vaa a spiiit of
ndividual enterprise in reformeis which
is now quite lost. If a man of that day
did not believe in alcoholic liquors he
just stopped drinking whiskey, that's all.
If he thought slavery wrong he went
down south and took gome slaves to
Car ada. If a group of people mere con-
verted to so iali«m. they formed a colony
and lived s :alistieal'y a>« long a they
could stand It. If a per.-on d«d not like
;e way words were -i elled he spelle-i
'hem to suit himself. Nowadays instead
doing ourselves w at we think ought
to be done, we organize societies for tne
purpose of persuading or forcing other
peop e to -lo it.

are glad to note, does rot hastily con-

The Republicans had a chance to lake this for-

that the Democrats, profiting by that mistake, will
put this agreement into effect.
The strength of the Taft agreement in Congress
fails to represent it^ strength with tli. voters ^u-

It is an assertion without proof that < anada can

AMERICANS IN MEXICO
Considerable interest is displayed in tni«
country over the probable fate of t;.o««
American citizens who. aftter having
joined the insirr-ectoa, nave beeu cap-
tured by Mesi.nn troops.
Americans w .,o have deliberately cross,
ed the border as fill bust «rers and fought
and ro-operated w th the forces now :n
armed rebellion, have by that act aban-
doned thair right to protection fioin this
countr Under internalioiial lew they
lave no standing whatever before the
Ftate department.
But ij. is qjite possible that among
tr.ose Americans now in the toils there
are some ho have had no real connec-
tion with the insurrection. T.ey have
