...should be enacted no matter what the results. But we should consider it rather, as a practical means to get at a definite end. The drink habit is the enemy, and it is the business of legislation to pick out suitable weapons, and means of attack, and then to employ them. It must necessarily have a partial, tentative effect, because the subject is one of ethics; because of the necessary effect every man must have on the whole social organism...
...Company is justifiable in employing Pinkerton detectives. - (a). Capital has a right to protect itself. (b). The property of the Co. was in immediate danger of destruction. (c).

This is a conclusion from which I should gladly escape, for it will greatly add to the difficulty and expense of keeping up an interest in athletics, but it is the natural results of a failure to adopt the intercollegiate regulations...

An additional fortnight of work on the diamond and the river, and even on the track makes a great deal of difference in the season's results. In base ball especially the first two weeks of out-door training are highly important in sifting out the valuable material and leaving the nine ready to begin serious work as early as possible.
