CLARKE PAINTS BRIGHT PICTURE Iowa E(ecutive Says War Will Re sult in Creation of Federa tion of the World. STATE HAS GREAT FUTURE DES MOINBS, la., Jan. 14.-The feder atlon of the world, practical disarmament of the great powers and a long step for ward for tho "brotherhood of man," are amcng the probable result of the present Kuropean war, according to Governor Georgo W. Clarke In hla inaugural ad dress here today. Despite the gloom of the. European war, the governor prophesied that mankind would bo better for it, ln tho end. "It Is an appalling price to pay," he said, "hut beyond this world war lies, in all prob ability the death of militarism, the prac tical disarmament of the great powers of the earth, tho removal from tho people of the crushing burdens of great armies and navlee, the disappearance of heredi tary rulers and the entranco of more perfect democracies." The governor spoke hopefully, of tho growing observance of tho humanities ln all walks of llfo and particularly In publio office. He urged greater co-ordt-nation'tn industries and agricultural pur suits, and particularly the conservation of Iowa soil. In concluding his address, the governor said: Constructive Work. Needed. "And now, In cloving, I desire to cay that I am very hopeful that a fine record may be made by the Thlrtylslxth general assembly. I am anxious to do whatever I can by co-operating with you in a proper way to assist ln promoting such a result .When the work ia done I trust It Will be distinguished for ita important. constructive character and for the care, thoughtfulness and accuracy with which it waa done. Thore U no greater, no more responsible work than that of tha lawmaker. A state's place ln the 'world. Its degree of enlightenment, must ever, in a very largo measure, be determine by its laws. The future of Iowa, ln the large sense, in its public policy, with ref erence to the things that make for its growth and development will and must find expression In its legislation. What ever Iowa may have and be in the futare that will be of benefit to mankind must depend upon us who today call the state ours. Our obligation is not simply to today. It is a thousand times more to the years that are to come to the Iowa that Is to be to the Iowa that we desire it to be. Look Far Ahead. "We ought to a far-ahead look. The foundations ought to be enduring. What are these roads, these schools, these ques tions of social well being, these questions o? publio health, these questions that go to the enlargement of lifo ln the best and deepest sense what ro hey to the future, should have consideration. We are not worth fiur time and space here unless we 'are looking constantly for ward to a coming of a better day. Right good questions to ask oneself are, la this the little or large view I am taking? Am I consulting my own selfish Interest or the welfare of all? What lf everybody were Just like me? What would my com munity, my state be if everybody were to adopt my view which way would they bo pulling, forward or backward? "Down in the rotunda In letters of gold is Inscribed tha sentiment: 'Iowa our eyes have been permitted to see only the beginning of her glory. It U true, and it doth not yet appear what she shall be. What a splendid vision rises. How much depends on us. HoJt her not In any of the great steps forward she haa taken. With unstinted devotion to her and her greatness may you do your work."

L AW, CXvj "TirVr A rr SET r HIBBEN AGAINST PAID COXCH President of Princeton Says Inter collegiate Sports Should Be Controlled by Students. CAPTAINS SHOULD DIRECT GAMES PRINOICTON. N. J Jan. U.-frrsldent John Greer Hibben of Princeton univer sity In 'his annual report, presented to the board of trustees today, expressed the hope that paid coaches In athletics would soon disappear. Athletics sro suf fering from an over-organised system of coaching, he said, and ho believed that, more responsibility should be placed on team captains. If undergraduates should be released from "unnatural Ciomlnation of their sports by graduate coaches," he suld. In tercollegiate sport would be liberated from the abnormal Inc.uhns of a superimposed system which tends to mako puppets of the players." V President HIbben In the report said: "Our athletics, not only in Princeton, but throughout the country, are suffer ing from an over-organlxed system of coaching. I hope that the time may soon come when the puid coach will disappear. He and his ever-Increasing number of as sistants, all ot whose expenses prove, a heavy drain upon the uthletlo trenaury, and tend to keep up the gnte receipts of intercollegiate contests' at an abnormal figure, render Ihtercnllnglate sport an un duly expensive affair. Captain Hhould Command. "Particularly In the game of foot ball, the captain of the team should be tho sole responsible person for the manage ment of his men, devising and directing their play in practice games, so that In the critical situations of a great contest he and his team will rise to the occasion and .win or lce with honor. "It Is quite absurd when one comes to think of 'H. that the 'control of the team in all preliminary gamen should be In the hnnds of a body of men who are rele gated' to the side lines when the rlay is on. "After"" alT! it Is an undergraduate af fair and the games should he planned and played ' by undergraduates. If you place upon them the responsibility they will respond to It, for It Is certain that responsibility always provokes efficiency. That men may be resourceful in time of emergency,- they must be schooled In the art of resourcefulness by some stimula tion of. their latent powers of Ingenuity. Coaching System I'nnatoral. "If we release our undergraduates from the unnatural domination of their sports by, graduate coaches, and from the con fusion of many minds and voices In the direction of their activities, we will sim plify the whole athletic situation and lib erate intercollegiate sport from the ab normal incubus of a superimposed sys tem which tends to make puppets of the players, limiting the spontaneity and free play of their, natural initiative."
