April 25, 1913 No. 17 
Harvarp’s CoAcH 
With the re-appointment of Percy 
Haughton as Harvard’s football coach 
there comes rejoicing from all Har- 
vard men and from football enthu- 
siasts in general. At the same time, 
with the unverified rumor that Mr. 
Haughton’s salary is to be raised to 
$7,500 for a season of twelve weeks, 
there is a rumbling murmur cf dis- 
content from many in the university 
who believe that too much money is 
spent in securing a suitable coach for 
the football team. 
The salary that he is reported to be 
re-engaged at, is considered by the 
professors who are teaching at Har- 
vard to be excessive in view of the 
fact that the season is so short. Mr. 
Haughton’s salary is much more than 
the best trained professor in the uni- 
versity and it seems to some as if this 
were putting a premium on brawn as 
opposed to brains. But some people 
forget that Mr. Haughton’s work is 
largely a matter of brains and that 
while he is not actively engaged in 
putting the men through their paces, 
he is scheming his plans for the com- 
ing season. It is largely a matter of 
science on his part, and the record of 
Harvard’s elevens for the past five 
years has been one to be proud of. 
One thing is certain about the 
coach which Harvard retains; he is 
possessed of as great an array of foot- 
ball intelligence as could be found in 
any college coach and this fact has

been testified to in the winnings of 
previous elevens and their general 
physical condition following the 
games. 
On THE PaciFic 
The Japanese question which is oc- 
cupying the attention of the Cali- 
fornian legislators at this time cannot 
fail to be regarded with apprehension 
by all peace-loving Americans. Under 
the seething opposition of the resi- 
dents of the Pacific coast to the hardy 
Japs real trouble may be brewing, for 
the Japanese as a race have come to 
believe that they have been subjected 
to a series of insults at our hands. 
The latest movement, pointing to- 
ward preventing the Japanese from 
becoming landowners in California 
is proving to be the last straw with our 
yellow-skinned brothers across the 
Pacific and a spirit of revenge is brew- 
ing in their breasts. 
Pride and sensitiveness go together. 
Japan has both and in addition an in- 
dominitable, foolhardy courage that 
prompts her to take risks of any kind 
to gain her ends. If Japan should get 
into the idea that the Philippines or 
Hawaii were necessary to its proper 
development it might take the notion 
to seize these outlying possessions of 
the United States and this country 
would have to resort to no little trou- 
ble and expense to get them back. 
It is hoped that good sense will out- 
shadow fany foreboding of trouble 
with Japan and that amicable settle- 
ments of any grievance, either fancied 
or real, with Japan can be reached. 
Mr. Morcan’s WILL 
There are many reasons why the 
will of J. P. Morgan will probably be 
the subject of hundreds of seimens of 
ministers the coming Sunday. To be 
sure, it was a business man’s document 
but it could not be more human in its 
provisions and the tenure of its speech. 
The will is interesting to multitudes 
of persons for the very humaneness of 
its purposes. 
Throughout all his life a regular 
churchgoer it is not surprising to see 
Mr. Morgan donating half a million 
for the support of the ministry of 
St. George’s church, where he at- 
tended. Many of the phrases in the 
will were from the Scriptures and it 
is evident that he was a firm believer 
in his creed. 
According to his will, his art col- 
lections are to be made “permanently 
WILLMONTON’S AGENCY 
Real Estate and Insurance of All Kinds 
School and Union S&s., Manchester +: Old South Bidg., Boston 
available for the instruction and pleas- 
ure of the American people.” 
Mr. Morgan’s bequests to the church 
and his expressed wish that his mag- 
nificent art collections become the pro- 
perty of the public show that he was a 
true friend of mankind, that he was 
above the mere sordidness of making 
money and piling up an immense for- 
tune. He was a true American and his 
sterling qualities were emphasized in 
his last message. 
Wixtson Not To BE BLAMED 
President Wilson, like all previous 
executive heads of our country, is be- 
ing criticised for his alleged action in 
appointing to office only men who have 
been very close to him in his aspira- 
tions to the presidential chair. This 
is a charge, and not a very serious one, 
that every president faces, and is 
merely a chance for his opponents to 
“take a fling” at him. 
It is quite natural that presidents 
should favor men who, with the pro- 
per qualifications, have been instru- 
mental in getting them where they are. 
Appointments that have been made in 
the present administration are not 
nearly as bad as might have been. If 
Champ Clark were elected President 
we would see W. R. Hearst in a high 
office, and it would be a questionable 
edification to see him and his yellow 
journals ‘‘on the inside” any more than 
they are at present. 
President Wilson is simply follow- 
ing a precedent in appointing ‘his 
original favorites to office and he will 
continue to do so. Presidents stick 
quite close to their affinities, like all 
other humans—it is to be expected 
and not necessarily to be deplored. 
“The lawmakers at Albany are con- 
sidering a bill to regulate mausoleum 
companies. No wonder, in view of a 
recent attempt at a mortuary building 
ten stories high.’—Boston Herald. 
Julian Hawthorne, now convict No. 
4435 at the Atlanta federal peniten- 
tiary, had an audience with Enrico 
Caruso and Ty Cobb in his cell. A 
rather queer combination. 
Chief Justice Bolster learned much 
about ladies’ gowns in court yester- 
day. A suit over a spilled plate of 
soup on a gown was the cause. 
A harmonious combination—Champ 
Clark, Underwood and Bryan.
