S IGNS of an awakening in the
educational world against
inter-collegiate athletics are
beginning to appear. A few years
before Dr. Eliot retired from the
presidency of Harvard University
he attacked the evil in one of his
an infill reports. Ho demonstrated
been a hurt, and not a help, to the
University, and that the notion
that such games advertise an edu
cational institution and increase
its patronage was not ustified by
the facts in the case of Harvard.
Now comes Surgeon-General
Stokes, of the United States Navy,
and Colonel Townsley, the Super
intendent of the United States Mil
itary Academy, 'opposing inter-col
legiate games, especially games of
football. These officials are not
sour Puritans nor snarling fanatics.
They are strong men stating plain
facts plainly.
In his annua! report Colonel
Townsley shows that 75 per cent,
of all the physical inuries of the
cadets, treated by the surgeons in
the season at West Point) are due
to casualties in games of football,
although only forty or fifty stu
dents participate in games while
the 25 per cent, of patients treat
ed come from 600 cadets who
take no part in these contests.
ARMY JOURNAL QUOTED.
The Army and Navy Journal
(New York) has taken up the
matter and publishes the facts
a clear nad convincing manner.
Among other things it says:
“Colonel Townsley says that the
frequency of injuries to football
players, and the permanent char
acter of many of such injuries,
make it a question of whether
football is of sufficient value to
tlie corps to warrant its continu
ance and the tremendous expen
diture of time and money in
volved. Of the sixty-one inju
ries due to football amt treated
at the hospital at West Point
from September 1 to November
30 last year, eleven were of a
character liable to cause future
trouble—that is, 18 per cent of
the injuries were of a serious
nature. Colonel Townsley says:
‘B’ootball certainly serves no
useful purpose in the physical
development of training in the
corps, as it is voluntary and at
tracts to its squad only the few
who are already physically
strong-, active, and well devel
oped. Its value, if it has any,
lies mainly in the interest, en
tertainment, and excitement it
affords to the other members of
the corps and the thousands who
attend its principal contests and
are willing to contribute to its
support.’
“Surgeon-General Stokes, from
the very beginning of his term
as head of the Bureau of Medi
cine and Surgery of the Navy,
has thundered against thfe in
jurious effects of football and
other too strenuous sports, and
in his very first annual report
took strong ground against the
encouragement of games which
he believes tend to weaken the
heart of the participant and thus

make him an easy victim in later
years to the inroads of disease.
Dr. Stokes lias studied the ca
reers of a number of officers
who were athletes in their Acad
emy days, and has sought to
prove from the data thus collect
ed that the service suffers a pos
itive loss in weakened physi
que at a time in life when the best
should be expected of officers in
the coordination of mind and body.
In one of the surgeon-general’s
reports he gave the records of 623
star athletes in classes from 1891
to 1911, compared with the records
of 580 of nor.-athletic midshipmen,
showing that the former had suf
fered severely in health. An ex
cess of 60 per cent was shown
among these star athletes over
the non-athletic in valvular dis
eases of the heart, general poor
health, obesity, tuberculosis, etc.
The surgeon-general of the Navy
believes that this condition is
brought about by overtraining and
overstraining, and has recom
mended that athletics be regulated
to avoid such conditions, that en
durance contests dependent upon
brute strength be eliminated from
the category of Academy sports,
and that a maximum effort be
made to develop a symmetrical,
normal physique rather than a
highly specialized machine.”
The conclusions of Colonel
Townesley and Surgeon-General
Stokes are abundantly justified by
the facts reported daily in the
newspapers.
SERVE NO GOOD PURPOSE.
It is certainly quite true that
these games “serve no useful pur
pose in the physical development”
of the students of a College. Even
if they were beneficial, their bene
fits would be confined to only a
small part of the students—; less
than sixty of the 600 cadets at West
Point, for example, or less than one
in ten.
Every College should provide for
the physical development of Its
students; but this is done by a
good gymnasium, under a careful
and competent physical director, to
which each student is required to
go regularly, unless excused for
cause. In this way every student
receives the exercise for which the
particular features of his case call.
As Surgeon-General Stokes shows,
the system of inter-collegiate athlet
ics absolutely hinders the physical
development of the young men who
play in the games. The star ath
letes of the Academy are shown to
have “suffered positive loss in weak
ened physique.”
Dr. Stokes is right when he in
sists that these games, which in
volve “over-training and over-strain
ing,” should he eliminated from
sports of the Naval Academy, and
that attention should he directed to
the development of “a symmetrical,
normal physique rather than a high
ly specialized machine.” This
should he the coursfe pursued by
every college.
Games that are not good for the
Military and Naval officers, who are
to fight our battles in time of war,
are not good for the thousands of
young men who are to engage in
the battle of life for the achieve
ment of the victories of peace.
EFFECT OF THE SYSTEM.
The facts in all this matter of
inter-collegiate athletics are beyond
dispute; and only one conclusion
can be drawn from these facts, viz.,
the system is injurious to students,
physically, mentally, and morally.
College authorities ought to put
the evil away; for in their heart of
hearts they know it is an evil and
wish it were abolished. But they
are intimidated by the clamor of
immature school-boys; they wish
big enrollments and fear to act as
they ought to act lest they lose
a few students to competing insti
tutions.
A compelling public opinion should
constrain the putting away of this
evil. Let parents firmly refuse to
send their sons to institutions
which allow inter-collegiate ath
letics and the thing will perish
from the land in a year. This
much parents owe to the country
as well as to their sons.
in the case of the Naval Acade
my at Annapolis and the Military
Academy at West Point congres
sional legislation may be required,
if the authorities in charge of
those institutions are not already
clothed with power to abolish these
injurious games.
It may come to pass that legisla
tion by the several states will be
needed to put an end to the evil
in some quarters.
But whatever may he the method
adopted to put away these maim
ing games, they ought to be ended
speedily.
Laws have been adopted to pre
vent the killing of calves in order
to prevent the decrease of beef-
cattle. How much better is a boy
than a calf? Are not our college
hoys—the choice youths of the
country—worth protecting?
The Killing of calves, if uncheck
ed, will result in reducing the
amount of beef to be had a few
years hence. To what does the
maiming and brutalizing of college
students lead in the future? We
can get on without beef far better
than we can without man.
CONGRESS IS STUDYING
ALASKAN RAILROAD BILL
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—It Is quite
possible the question of whether the
government, as part of a comprehensive
plan c^f Alaska development. Is to build
and operate 1,000 miles, more or less, of
railroads in that territory, will be de
cided not on its merits but rather with
distinct reference to the larger question
of general publi'c policy, namely: is it
wise to establish a precedent which, in
time, may be used to force government
ownership and operation of the railroads
in continental United States?
This is not to say, in advance of the
consideration of this important ques
tion by congress, how it will be decided.
This, nobody knows. It is only to say
that the question is larger and more
important than its local application to
Alaska at first glance would seem to
indicate, and that, in its final determi
nation, congress will view the situation
from all possible angles and indulge in a
debate which will, in the aggregate, be
a Careful and comprehensive review of
all the arguments pro and con on the
question of government ownership of
public utilities.

She ended with a look in which the
old adoration was strongly mingled.

who make more than I do, but they’re! “Dear,” he said, smiling up at her,
worth it without a doubt.” “we’ve got to begin to practice econ-
He did not add that many made less! omy with a capital E.”
I Flossie shook her yellow crowned
head at him. “I don’t like economy,”
she objected. “I think it’s horrid.”
“But it’s only for a time,” he plead
ed “I know it won’t be for long. And
anything’s better than running in debt.
If we can manage to keep our feet for
the balance of this year I think we'll
be all right. In fact, I’m pretty suf*
of it. Old Weatherbank spoke to me
about it himself. Rand, their European
buyer, is leaving them this year, and
I’m to have the place. That means
everything you desire—trips abroad,
everything.”
Flossie still pouted. “But I don’t
want things next year,” she said. “I
want them now. Maybe next year I
v/on’t enjoy them so much. 1 want
things now. We can get them now and
pay for them next year.”
“I wouldn’t be willing to do that,
Flossie,” he explained patiently. “It’s
scarcely fair to run in debt for luxuries
with no surety of paying for them.”
“I thought you said you were sure.”
“So-1 am—reasonably. But nothing’s
sure. ‘There’s many a slip/ Lots of
things,might happen.”
“Oh, lots of things do happen,” she
cried, “but never anything good. We’re
no better off than we were; we’re worse,
for you even grudge the little that I
spend. I’m tired of it. If you can t
make good I want to go back home un
til you do.” \
And then George Welton was alone.
It was characteristic of him that he
balanced the books before he went to
bed, and characteristic of Flossie that
she cried herself to sleep and did not
appear before he left in the morning.
The next day he dragged himself
wearily home. He was out of concert
with himself and with life. Flossie was
sulkily silent. Dinner over, they went
into the living room from force of habit,
but did not take t^eir accustomed
chairs. Flossie pretended to read. Her
husband made no such pretense, but
watched her with hurt, grave eyes. At
last he spoke. His voice rang abrupt and
unreal. .... * .
“Flossie,” he said, “I’m willing for
you to go home for a while, if you
want to. I can’t bear to feel that you’re
dissatisfied and unhappy. And I guess,
as you say, I’m not the kind to make
good. I had an opportunity today to
put $500 in your pocket and didn’t
take it.”
‘Why?” she questioned coldly.
“Why? The Lord knows! Because
I’m a fool, I guess. One of the men
who wants to get the trade of the
firm put $500 on my desk. God knows
how my fingers itched for it! How I
thought of your face if I could bring
that much home! How I hesitated! How
1 put love and honor on the scales and
found out that honor topped them! I
put the money in his hand and ordered
him out of the office. But coming home
I thought how disappointed you’d be in
me. And I realized that I could never
make good after your fashion—that we
don’t think alike”—
He stopped and covered his face with
his hands. Flossie crossed the room
swiftly, and, stooping, gathered his head
to her breast, as his own mother might
have done. In that moment she passed
from a spoiled child to a woman, with
a woman’s heritage to comfort and to
bear.
“Five hundred times 500 wouldn’t
make me as proud as I am.” she whis
pered. “And—about that trip home—
we’ll take it together in vacation. Father
will know, father will understand, just
like I do, that you’ve made good!”
and managed very well upon it. In
deed, he scarcely thought of it. The
one thought that whirled through his
barin was that it had only taken six
brain to prove that he could not give
Flossie the things that she had been
accustomed to, and that she missed
them. The thought hurt. His face
showed it. The next words that Flos
sie said were spoken with her arms
about his neck.
“It isn’t only the things money will
buy,” she whispered, “it’s the success,
the making good before other people
that I care for. And I know you can
do it. Papa used to say that you
would. Guess how much Ralph Tren
ton made over his salary last month.
A thousand dollars! Just think of
that! She asked me how much extra
you had made, and I had to tell her
nothing. You know the way she puts
up her lip when she’s surprised or dis-
usted? Well, she did it to me. And
she said: ‘Oh, George has no go to
him. No one has the opportunity
that a buyer has. He ought to make
more on the side than his salary
amounts to.’ I felt just awful about
it. You know you’re twice as smart
as \Ralph.”
George Welton closed his lips tight
ly, and did not say what he might
have said. But Flossie went on, put
ting some of his thoughts into words.
“I know he gambles, and is horrid
in lots of ways. 1 wouldn’t have you
like him for the world, but I would
be proud if I could tell her you had
made a big lump of money. And,”
she laughed in his eyes, “I could
use it.”
She was very sweet afterward and
did not refer to the subject again. But
the words had sunk deep. George Wel
ton began to have a longing such as he
had never known for money. He re
doubled his efforts. He took up a set
of books to keep at night. But work as
ho would, wish as he would, no large
success crowned his efforts.
Ralph Trenton continued making
large sums of money over and above
his salary; Elsie continued to boast of
it; Flossie continued to envy t^iem.
Sometimes at night when he worked
over the books, tired and out of heart,
George Welton found her eyes fixed on
him, a strange mixture of disappoint
ment and commiseration in their violet
depths.
One month he brought home forty
extra dollars, earned before and after'
work. She thanked him, and ran her
slim fingers through the little heap
of silver. She could not have realized:
how much of patient endeavor the
money represented or she would never
have made the remark she did.
“Ralph made seven hundred this
month,” she said.
Another man would have given up
trying to please her after that. But
George Welton plodded ceaselessly on,
with thoughts of the time when he
could give her everything she wanted.
He began to dread' the day he was
paid. It was never enough, never half
enough. He fell into a childish way of
cashing the check before he reached
home to make the amount seem larger.
He could not bear to deny her any
thing, to tell her that hothouse flowers.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S GETTYS
BURG SPEECH.
On November ?9, 1863, fifty years ago,
and a few months after the battle at
Gettysburg had been fought, President
Lincoln went over to Gettysburg and
made a short public address. It was
reprinted by request in the Congres
sional Record of November 20, 1913.
It was described as one of the mas
terpieces of English prose, and the com
missioner of education in the state of
New Jersey sent a copy of the address
to every pupil in that state, to be com
mitted to memory and to be recited on
the afternoon of November 19, 1913.
As it is not long, I have concluded
to copy the address so that the 100,000
readers of the Semi-Weekly Journal can
see it.
LINCOLN’S ADDRESS AT GETTYS
BURG.
“Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated, to the proposition that all men
are created equal.
“Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing, whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and dedicated can
long endure; we are met on a great
battlefield of that war. We have come
to dedicate a portion of that battlefield
as a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper we should do this. But in a
larger sense, we can not dedicate, we
can not consecrate, we can not hallow
this ground.
“The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our poor power to add or detract.
This world will little note or long re
member what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. It is
for us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished task, which they
who fought here have so nobly advanc
ed. It is rather for us here to be dedi
cated to the great task remaining before
us, that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion, to which they
gave that last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom and that government
of the people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the earth.”
These words are remarkable, because
there was no exultation as to victory,
and because the battle of Gettysburg
was the crises in the war and thereafter
there was no signal victory to the
southern cause, although there was ad
mirable heroic defense.
IS THERE A PANIC IN IRON AND
STEEL COMING?
An humble wage earner that I know
very well and who has been tending
a steam shovel' for the largest iron
ore plant in my part of the country,
was walking along the road in front of
me as I was taking tqday a little drive
in the country. He ^ has a wife and
me pathetically. .
In glancing today ove^ a late Congres
sional Record, I notice some remarks
from an Illinois congressman, who said
the steel mills in his country were
closing down, and his constituents were
not able to sell to these steel mills
the flur-spar, which had 'brought in
good revenue, and the outlook was to
wards a suspension of work in steel.
Both these facts have come to me in
a single day, and the story is the same
as to general results. No one in all
this great nation desires a financial pa
nic any less than I do, and no one hopes
for better times more than myself, but
I get uneasy when I see a stalwart
man who'has nothing but his muscle,
walking the big road, idle because the
business has shut down.
The uses for steel are so many and
ever increasing, \ now, that railroads
must build steel cars for strength and
safety, and great skyscrapers must
strength and safety throughout for
strength and shafety. Absolute neces
sity for progress, is the iron and steel
industry.
When the digging of iron ore stops
it means less steel. When steel mills
close down it means less building or
use of steel. When steel produce is
checked, war ships must get back to
wooden hulls, or stop building. In the
same connection a representative from

Leinarts, Tenn.—Mrs. Martha Walls, of
this town, makes the following state
ments for publication: “I feel it my duty
to tell you what your madicine, Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, has done for me.
For four (4) years I suffered terribly
with womanly troubles, and I found no
relief in diferent medicines which I took.
Finally, I began to take Cardui, the
woman's tonic, and after taking six Lot
ties I am completely cured. I feel like
a different person altogether. All the
pains are gone, and I am in better health
that 1 have been in for four years. Have
gained a great deal in weight.
I still take Cardui as a tonic. My hus
band, as well as myself, cannot praise it
too highly.
I hope this letter w r ill induce other poor
suffering women to try Cardui, for it is
the best medicine in the world for
women.”
If you suffer from any of the numer
ous ailments so common to all women,
why not take this lady's advice, and try
Cardui? It has helped her, as well as a
million other women in the past half cen
tury. Why shouldn’t it do the same for
you? We feel sure it will.
Reading of Mrs. Walls’ helpful experi
ence should encourage you to try what
this medicine will do for you.
Get a bottle of Cardui from your drug
gist today. You won’t regret it.
