R4oaevslt, who cam to Massachusetts to

worth to tha horn of Mr. and Mra. Oeorg
C. Lee, where they remained a ahort time
before taking a train for Oroton, where
Kermlt Roosevelt Is at school. . They
plAnned to remain at Oroton until joined
bf the president tomorrow at . noon and
later tbe whole party will return to Boston
In thlnss of the mind; and where thm
an'IB are gathered together e-h will nat
urally fmd some croup of specially con
genial friends with whom he will form
tls of peculiar eoHal Intimacy. These
groups athletic, artistic, scientific, social
must Inevitably ist. My plea Is not fur
their abolition. My pie, la that they elm 1 1
be got Intr, tne iltht focus In the evee
of college men; 'that the relative Import
ance vf the different groups shall he un
derstood when compared with the Infinitely
greater life of the college as a whole. Let
each man have his special associates, his
special Interests, Ma special studies and
pursuits, but let him remember that he
cannot get the full benefit of life In col
lege If he doea nothing but specialise; and
that, what Is even more Important, he can
not do hla full duty by the college unless
his first snd are Meat Interest Is In the
college It eel f, jn hla associates taken as a
fnass, and not In any small group.

One reason why I so thoroughly believe
In tbe athletic spirit at Harvard Is because
the athletic spirit la essentially democratic.
Our chief Intercut should not lie In the
great champions In sport. On the con
trary, our concern should he moat of all
to widen the base, the foundation In ath
letic sports; to encourage In every way a
healthy rivalry which shall give to the
largest possible number of students the
chance to take part In vigorous out
door games. It Is of far more Im
portance that a man shall play some
thing himself, even If he plays it badly,
than that he shall go with hundreds
of companions to see some one else play
well) and It Is not healthy for either stu
dents or sthletlcs if the terma are mutu
ally eaclusive. But even having thla aim

There are few things les desirable thsn
the arid cultivation, the learning and re
finement which lead merely to that Intel
lectual conceit which makes a man In a
democratic community like ours hold him
self akwf from his fellows and pride him
self upon the weakness which he mistakes
for supercilious strength. Small la the use
of those educated men who In after life
rre-et no one but themselves, and gather
In pn.Hore to discuss wrong conditions
which they do not understand and to ad
vocate remedies which have the prime de-
rect or being unworkable. The Judgment
on practical affairs, political and social, of
educated men who ken aloof from the
conditions of practical life, la apt to be
valueless to those other men who do really
wage effective war agnlnst the forces of
baaenrse and of evil. From the political
standpoint education Is a harm and not a
benefit to the men whom It serves as an
excuse for refusing to mingle with their
fellows snd for standing aloof from the
broad sweep of our natkinnl life In a
curiously Impotent spirit of fsncK super
iority. Tho political wrongheadeflnesa, of
such men is quite ss great ss that of
wholly uneducated men; and no peorle
could be less truatworthy as critics and'
advisers. The educated man who seeks to
console himself for his own lack of the
robust qualities necessary to bring success
In American politics by moaning over the
degeneracy of the times instead of trying
to better them, bv railing at the men who
do the actual work of political llfe Instead
of trying hlmsnlf to do the work. Is a poor
creature, hnd, so far as his frebl- powers
avail. t a dnmnge snd not a hplp to' the
country. Tou may come far short of this
disagreeable standard and still he a rather
useless member of society. Tour educa
tion, your cultivation, wlH not help vou if
you mnke the mistake of thinking that It
Is a substitute for Instead of sn sddltlon
to thoa qualities which In the struggle
of llfe brings success to the ordinary roan
without your advantages.
Privilege of College Training.
Tour college training confers no privilege
upon you save as usted by the use you
make of it It puts upon you the obligation
to show yourselves better able to do cer
tain things than your fellows who have not
had your advantages. If It has served
merely to make you believe that you are
to be excused from effort In after life,
that you are-to be excused from contact
with the actual world of men and events,
then It will-prove a curae and not a bless
In If, on ths other hand, you treat your
education aa a weapon the more In vour
hands, a weapon to fit you to do better In
tne nara struggle or effort, and not as
excusing you In anr wav from taicins n,rt
In practical fashion In that struggle, then
it will be a benefit tn vou
Let each of you college men remember
In after life that In the fundamentals he
Is very much like hla fellows who have
not been In college, and that If he Is to
achieve results. Instead of confining him.
self exclusively to disparagement of other
men who have achieved them, he must
manage to come to some kind of working
agreement with these fellows of his. There
are times 01 course when It may be the
highest duty of a citizen to stand alone
or practically alone. But If thls man s
normal attitude If normally he Is unsble
to work In combination with a considerable
Dony or nis reiiows it Is safe to set him
down ss unfit for useful service In a dem
ocracy. In popular government results
worth having can only be achieved by men
who combine worthy ideals with practical
good sense; who are resolute to accomplish
good purposes, but who can accommodate
themselves to the give and take necessary
where work has to be done, as slmost all
Importsnt work must necessarily be done,
by combination. Moreover, remember that
normally the prime object of political life
should be to achieve results and not merely
to Issue manifestos save of course where
the Issuance of such manifestoes helps to
achieve the results. It Is a "ery bad thing
to he morally callous, for moral callousness
Is disease. But Inflammation of the con
science may be Just ss unhealthy so far
as the public is concerned; and if a man's
conscience is alwsys telling him to do some
thing foolish he will do well to mistrust
its wordings, 'ine religious man who la
most useful Is not he whose sole care Is
to sava his own soul, but the man whose
religion bids hlrn strive to advance decency
and clean living and to make the world a
better place for his fellows to live In; and
all this Is Just as true of the ordinary citl
len in the performance of the ordinary
duties of political life.
Philippines mm lllastrat loa.
During the last few years much good
has been done to the people of the Phil
ippines; but this has been done, not by
those who merely Indulged in the personal
luxury of advocating for the Islands a
doctrinal liberty which would have meant
their Immediate and Irretrievable ruin, but
by those who have faced facts as they
actually were, rememberlna- the nrovesn
that teaches us that in the long run even
tne most - uncomfortable truth Is a safer
companion than- the pleasantest falsehood.
It ts these men, the men who-with short
comings and stumblings, yet did the dutv
of the moment, though that duty was hard
snd often disagreeable, and not the men
who confined themselves to idle talk of
no matter how high-sounding a nature,
who have done real good to the Islands.
These are the men who have brought Jus
tice ss between man and man; who are
building roads; who havs Introduced
schools; who, gradually, with patience and
firmness, are really fitting the Islanders for
self-government ...
Bo- it Is with the great questions which
group tnemseives round the control of cor
porations m, tne interest of the public.
There has been a curious revival of the
doctrine of State rights In connection with
these questions, by the people who know
that the states cannot with Justice to both
sides practically control the corporations,
and who therefore advocate such control
necause tney do not venture to express
their real wish, which Is that there shall be
no control at all. Honest and fair dealing
railway corporations will gain and not lose
by adequate federal control; most em
phatically It Is both the duty and the In
terest of our people to deal fairly with
such Corporations and tn see that a ,.ra.
mlum Is put upon the honest management
of tham, snd that those who Invest In
tnem are amply protected. But those who
invoae tne doctrine of state rights to pro
tect state corporate creations in nra,Lr.
activities extended through other states are
as shortsighted aa those who once invoked
me same aoctrine to protect the special
lavehoUHng interest The states have shown
that they have not the ahllltv to curh tha
power of syndicated wealth, and therefore
In ths Interest of the people It must be

the public life of this decade belongs to
thoe who have done affirmative work In
such matters as those I have enumerated

obstruct the work that has thus been done.
In short, you college men, be doers ratner

Fire Marshal Horan wss at the telephone

minutes after tt started, and he at one
ordered the employes of the company to
vacate the premises. '
Night Manager Stevens, however, re
fused to obey the order or to permit his
assistants to do so, declaring that In th
Interests of the telephone subscribers "th
girls should stick to their boards." i
Ths 100 girls who were on duty on th
"Main" and "Toll" exchanges, say the en
thusiastic reporters, listened only to the
call of duty. Though the room In which
they worked wss filled with smoke, though
ths flames in ths adjoining apartment were
creeping, creeping higher and higher,
though Fire Marshal Horan stormed and
threatened, and perhaps swore, tlis girl

and devotion which were beautiful In their

Now and then a few would find It neces
sary to leave the smoky ekchangs room,
ever and anon a group of girls might be
seen hastening toward the elevator, from

crucial moment, and while Fire Marshal
Horan' was becoming violent In his com
mands, only two of ths hello girls re
mained. And these stood by the burning switch
When all but them had fled.

Marshal Horan, who, when calm. Is an
admirer of all the virtues, and especially
of unselfish loyalty, may havs said some
things thst could be interpreted into a
reflection upon the good sense of those
faithful employes of ths telephone com
pany who braved everything that they
might be true to ths subscribers.

place on the foreyard. Bmlllo Bilvasts, oi
of the boy, discovered him, and soon all
the men were gathered on deck watching
the bird. After resting some time It flew
off toward the land, but the men. with
many shake of tha head, opined that they
would have no luck after that
"It can bring no good, said Francisco.
