WALTER ECKERSALL
America loves athletics. Walter
Eckersall was one of the country's
greatest exemplars of athletic sport.
His name will live as long as the fame
of football endures. He was for long
supreme in his line at a time when
football was indeed strenuous. He
did much to make Chicago and the
University of Chicago famous.
But Walter Eckersall is dead
dead in his comparative youth and in
the fullness of manly strength. His
disease somewhat indicates the price
we pay for athletic heroisms. These
men, directors of participants on the
cinder path, in the prize ring, as
swimmers in all fields of strenuous
activity too often seem easy prey of
non-respecting death. We like to be
lieve that they instruct us how to
live physically, but are compelled to
question their methods when we see
them fade so soon from the picture
of life.
In such victories as these achieved
by Eckersall and many other bril
liant men, in the colleges and out,
great strain is put on the heart, and
nature, untimely, we feel, exacts her
Inescapable probabilities.
Which brings us to the conclusion
that in athletics, as in all things else,
temperance is the law of life.

MOTHER LOVE
Next to divine is mother-love. 'It
is the only perfect emotion which
the human heart feels. Self-interest
is never a consideration. Its sole de
sire is for the good of the objeets
of its ardent devotion. It neither
clings to life, craves happiness,
dreads suffering nor fears death when
it3 solicitude quickens.
Mother-love in a sweetly pathetic
state is exhibited simply and uncon
sciously in the case of Mrs. Ella Blake
of Amarillo, Tex. This gray-haired
lady mourns, and always will mourn,
over the tragic end of an unfortunate
son. Convicted of murder, he was
executed, and since his electrocution
a play has been written on a story
which he had composed for a maga
zine. The play. The Last Mile, is a
great success in New York City.
Robert told his mother that he was
innocent of the crime charged against
him. No; he did not assure her of
his innocence. He told her that it
was unnecessary for him to profess
his innocence to her, because he knew
that she knew that he was not
guilty. This was the sympathetic re
sponse to mother-love. All others
might consider him guilty, or doubt
his innocence, but there was one
and it could be none but a loving
mother who believed in him, believ
ed in him and loved him so warmly
that he needed not say a word in
self-defense.
The mother says quietly, but posi
tively, that he wa6 a good boy. Quiet
ly and positively she insists that he
was innocent of the crime for which
he paid the extreme penalty. She la
ments that the barbarism of the
state, as she calls it, took the life
that she had given. Unquestionably,
she would have accepted death brave
ly herself could she by the sacrifice
have saved his life.
It is astounding what extremes of
joy and rue mother-love can bear.
Neither is selfish in the least. While
the objects of affection are happy,
mother-love is complaisant. But in
trouble the devotion is capable of
any sacrifice. Though the world may
condemn, mother-love remains faith
ful; it is the one reliance which is
certain.
Mrs. Blake's fond statements con
cerning her son give us an insight
into her grief-torn heart. The sim
plicity of her manner shows the pro
fundity of her sorrow. The wound
can not heal any more than her love
can die. She will continue until
death to 6uffer forthis suffering.
To see understanding Into a
mother's heart conveys an idea of
what utter unselfishness is. This is
love that is perfect.
:o:
IF CONGRESS NAMED PLANET
Should the final choice of a name,
preferably Latin to fit the newly
found planet be left to the vote of
Congress, it would be easy to pick
the winning cognomen. The Grundy
bloc, of course, would see to it that
the star was named "Vox Populi."
Like the new luminary, this mellow
Latin term represents a vague some
thing entirely undetectable to the
majority's unaided faculties. Both
are embodied embodiments in empty
space, millions of miles away from
anywhere, having no influence what
ever on the merry carnival of log
rolling. Mythological names are pre
ferred, so this should fill the bill
nicely. It would honor a faint, far
off entity to which some such formal
and inexpensive tribute might be
paid. Both planet and voice of the
people to the Jolly plunderbund are
rather Interesting abstractions, but
unimportant. As a final touch, a
section christening Planet Vox Populi
would be a fitting rider on the tariff
bill.

DETROIT'S AMAZING STORY
Someone has remarked that crim
inals flock to the busiest, most pros
perous cities. If this is so, Detroit
apparently Is paying the penalty for
the business the automobile indus
try has brought it.
It is an amazing story that Is be
ing told at the Detroit police board
bearings. Almost incredible chargeB
are hurled back and forth at high
officials of the police department. It
is asserted that Detroit's notorious
"Purple Gang" had friendly relations
with some of these officials and was
given a helping hand by them when
the going got tough.
And meanwhile, Detroit continues
to have a "crime wave" that bears
comparison with Chicago's.
In America, at any rate, prosperity
seems to bring a certain amount of
lawlessness In its wake. Detroit, like
Chicago, is suffering for it.

UNLUCKY EXCEED THE LUCKY
Though there Is now about ?9,-
000,000,000 worth, of gold in the pos
session of civilized man, it is gener
ally accepted as a fact that the gold
that has been taken from the earth
is not worth what has been spent in
its pursuits.
Many men have devoted lifetimes
to searching for "pay dirt," but how
many fortunes can be traced back to
the lucky strike of some suffering
prospector? Innumerable shafts have
been sunk In limestone mountainsides
without finding yellow ore. He who
wanders among the solitudes of the
Rockies is quite likely to encounter
the scars left on hill sides and in
the gullies by prospectors who have
worked claims that never produced.
Claims that proved bonanza were
few and far between. It was only the
occasional strip of sand that yielded
its yellow dust profitably, and in most
cases even it was soon exhausted. On
the whole, more has been spent in
the quest of gold than was ever real
ized from It.
In this respect speculation and
other forms of gambling are like
prospecting for gold. The losses al
ways exceed the winnings. Fabulous
seem the winnings in the great lot
teries of Europe, but the money that
goes into them far exceeds that which
comes out in prizes. Fortunes were
made In the stock boom and for
every fortune won many fortunes
were lost.
