The Degeneracy of Yacht Clubs.

Under the above heading, a writer
in The Rudder says:

In every spot- wlicre man is the lead-
ing spirit there * exists organizations
which fOSter, encoui'ag'ej-and develop
the game or the pastime to which the
men forming it are devoted. In yacht-
1-‘Ing we find hundreds of clubs, each one
founded for the purpose of encouraging
the sport of yachting. In a great many
of these clubs there exists a predomin-
ating class of non-yacht owners. It is
a~.,fact that very few of our yacht clubs
solitain~ more boat owners than non-
boat owners. In each one of the clubs
legislation affecting the sport finds its
root. and it is nourished, developed and
ma 3:: into a law ofjthe sport by a series

of luiscussions that are mainly indulged }

in by two classes of men: It is always

ever permitted to influence yachting
legislation. All attempts so far to get
up a yacht club that would make the

study of scamanship, yacht designing,
i-igglngs. care and handling, its objects
have failed. The cause for the failure
is directly due to the men who wear
yachting clothes, but who never sail
their own boats, even if they own one.
Notwithstanding the fact that the hun-
dreds of clubs that exist in this coun-
try, comprisingjthousands of members,
you cannot find in any club any num-
ber of thoroughly competent amateurs.

The writer has always assumed that
a yachtsman should know how to repair
sails, riggings and hull; how to handle
a boat under any circumstances, and
how to navigate her to any section of
the earth. And this is not too much to
expect. The study of navigation is not
difficult—plain sailing is easier. To
be a competent yacht master should be
the ambition of every yachtsman. But
to go back to the subject. The clubs
donot encourage men to be yachtsmen.
The average club demand a fine house,
a line veranda, a ball-room, a billiard-
room. and a bar. Then the “residents”
will come in. After a while you find
that all the masters are landlubbers,
that not one thoroughbred yachtsman
can be found on the committee, that
the club organized to encourage yacht-
ing has slowly drifted into an associa-
tion for the development of thirsts and
rocking-chair proclivities.

‘9 have observed, Mr. Editor, that

, you have been rapping men over the

knuckles for the condition the sport is
new in on Long Island Sound. You
are rapping men. who are yachtsmen
only in the’summer-resort spirit. They
dance well, they drink well, tell good
stories, and make splendid club fellows.
But a. yacht bpiiesfthem. It is a neces-
sary evil. 0-day you will find that
everyé yacht club on Long Island Sound
is a big country cliib, where a vast ma-
jority of the membership is made up of
wheelmen, horsemen, tennis players,
lancers. and golfers. What can you
expect in the way of fair and square
legislation on yachting matters when
the power of legislation is in the hands
lofthe men who do not care for yacht-
ing in the way that the cruiser does?
Yacht clubs are not like the clubs that
are organized in the interests of other
sports. Go into a golf club house and‘
allthe men talk golf. Go to the jocky
elub_.and all the men talk horse. Go
to the yacht club and all the men talk
rot.

Insult Added to Injury.

It is a fool lot of questions which a
New York newspaper puts to the stu-
dents of Yale. Even if they were wise
questions, says the New Haven Regis-
ter, they would be impudent, since this
is _the newspaper which has publicly
and falsely circulated stories about the
moral life of Yale. It has read itself

out of the class entitled to considera-

tion. When a man has called another
a drunkard and a debauchee it is not

necessary to knock him down, but it is

both permissible and admissible to pass
him by.

This newspaper wants to know,

6 among other things, if the self reliance

and independence essential to true

success is not the product of the advo-

cacy of some great, righteous,‘ unpopu- l

Bar cause? This inquiry might have
been expected of this journal, which is

these terms are used, if they stop and
quibble over its possible popularity and
unpopularity. No one questions, for
example, the right of this New York
journal or of any other journal to at-
tach itself toa righteous cause. Our
complaint against it is not that it
preaches the cause of temperance. U p-
on that point, more grease to its elbow,
say we! Our complaint is that it uses
the weapon of unrighteousness and of
deliberate deceit, not in the spirit of
self reliance and independence which
soars above the popularity and unpop-
ularity ofacause, but to. mislead its

and it now seeks, under a thin dis-

A few years ago we asked a venera-
ble editor what his opinion was of a
certain brilliantly edited newspaper.
“The devil himself,” he replied, “could
not edit it with greater shrewdness
and charm. ”

The remaining questions are confess-
edly asked for the purpose of ascertain
ing what the drift of opinion is among
Yale students in regardulto the liquor
traffic. “The purpose is to find on .-
what is the drift of sentiment in the
leading universities on this most grave
public question.” Why should this

es. He has a weakness for making
~valuable presents at an opportune mo-
ment. For the last ten years whenev-
er he has found it necessary to call
one of his representatives from some
distant point to the home office at Chi-
cago he has always made it a practice
to begin the conference with him at 7
o’clock, in his office at the stock yards
This is Mr. Armour’s hour for going
to, work.

After the interview Mr. Armoul
looks his visitor over carefully and in-
quires whether or not he happens tc
have the ti-me'with him. If the em-
ploye replies that he does not carry a
.watch he is promptly presented with
an order on a leading Chicago jewel

journal expect at this time testimony
from a body of young'men who have al-
ready been tried and convicted by the
questioner? It is within a month that
this same impertinent journal spread
broadcast the statement that Yale life
is debauched, that its young men have
hopelessly gone to the devil, and that-
the distinguished President is particeps
criminis, if not an open ally. We have
no doubt that many uninformed people
believe these statements, and that the
people of New Haven sleep at night
with double barred doors, and keep
in secret
apartments. If what this journal has
calmly and deliberately stated to be
the truth is the -truth, there is only one
answer that can be returned to this in-
quiry, and that is this: The students of
Yale and the faculty favor not only the
multiplication of the number of saloons
in the town of New Haven, but they fa-
vor the erection Of university distiller-
ies, at which rum can be made by the
students themselves and bought at cost
prices. They favor the establishment
of dormitory bar-rooms, fully equipped
and managed by university bar-keepers,
who shall complete a. course in the con-
coction of mixed drinks before enjoying
the fruits of the various rum scholar-
ships to be hereafter established.

If any other reply is returned, then
this mighty engine of righteousness
can retort that the students of Yale are
not only debauchees but hypocrites.
“They say they favor temperance, and
yet reel through the streets at night
crazy from drink, and accompanied by
women of shady reputation.” There
is no mistaking the probable actions of
a newspaper which condemns an insti-
tution of learning before it invites it to
the witness stand to testify as to its in-

notgbe relied upon to make fools of
themselves. The Voice is justly en-
titled to do that unaided. It is entire—
ly competent.

a watch he is instructed to get a new

was allowed to proceed on the line:-
laid down by Mr. Armour, but of late
those of his men who prefer watches
to overcoats have managed to lean.-
their timepieces at home when they
have been summoned to a conference.

It is stated as a. fact that in no in-
stance "has the millionaire packer neg-
lected to bestow an expensive gift on
those of his employes whom he llBEv
called to Chicago on business. The
watch preference among his men has
come to be very noticeable, and Mr.
Armour’s custom is so generally
known among Armour men that a call
to Chicago generally brings out the
remark: “That means a watch from
the old man, and I can’t get there for

the approaching ceremony and went
off to his laboratory. The bride and:

no Pasteur turned up. A search was
instituted and Pasteur was found deep
in chemical experiments and utterly
oblivious of-the fact tht he was to be
made a benedict that day.—Philadel-

Washington, Jan. 14.—General Brooke
has telegraphed from Chicago to the
War Department that he has decided to
await definite information about the
Indian troubles in Oklahoma before
sending troops. He has received infor-
mation which indicates that the trouble
has been very much exaggerated, and l
that everything is quiet. He has sent
an officer from Fort Reno to Earlbor-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

 

Fill a. bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys

 

-When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. TOO frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

“'HAT To DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidney-s, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get ,up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
