PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE
It is pleasing to note these evi
dences of political Independencea
disposition to demand honesty abil
ity and proper qualifications for the
office on the part of the candidate In
preference to party regularity says
the Owensboro Inquirer It Is too of
ten the case that a candidate of eith
er dominant party has no claim to
many except regularity never
scratched a ticket But the day is
rapidly passing when the fellow who
wholboasts
boasts that he has always voted the
ticket even If a yaller dog was the
nominee can defeat the candidate
who makes every claim necessary ex I
cept regularity It Is not the ablest I
best and most intelligent men who
always vote her straight even
though the nominee maybe no more
than one of the yaller dog variety
Then may we hope you will cease
abusing the CourierJournal for prac
tising what you preach

AThLETICS IX SCHOOLS
Sir John W Dyers one of the
speakers before the international con
gress on school hygiene which was
held recently In London pad presi
dent of the section of physical educa
tion and training in personal hygiene
urged the importance both of system
atic physical exercise and of games
but In referring to games ho uttered
a warning against professionalism
and quoted approvingly these lines I
from the editor of Punch I
Yet In a hundred scenes all much
muchI I
the sameI I
I know that weekly half a million
men I
Who never actually played the
game
gameI I
Hustling like cattle herded In a
peni i
Look on and shout I
While two and twenty hirelings
hack a ball about
Considered as a contemptuous re
flection upon fans and rooters we do
not think much of these lines be
cause a good game is worth seeing as
well as playing and this Is true of
college school and professional
games But now that we are near the
opening of another school and col
lege year It is pertinent to remark
that athletics reduced down to tht
two and twenty whether they are
hirelings or not is of very little val
ue The half million boys and more
should all participate In games out 01
doors and thus derive a direct bene
fit from them They should go In for
some exercise besides mere howling
and when they are present at Inter
collegiate contests they should be as
different as possible from the touts
and bookmakers and queer crowds
that have given such a sport as horse
racing an evil name the country over
wayhavo
have a value as healthy play may be
an Important factor in physical train
Ing may help develop strong quali
ties of mlrid and character but only
if It Is entered Into In l tho right spirit
and is not absolutely centralized In
an eleven a nine or an eight to the
thelexcluslon
exclusion of the many and the exces
sive training of the few Tills reminds
us moreover that for one and all
there is need of Dr flyers warning
While urging the Importance of
physical education let me say that it
must not be overdone either In the
case of boys or girls rather It must
bo regarded simply as a necessary
and useful adjunct to the cultivation
of the mlndChleago necordHer
