nominee of neither party is worthy of the voter's support. This only brings us again to realize the fact that too many have absented themselves from the caucus. People are t"'O much engrossed in personal aftairs and not enough in national. The very means through which they have been permitted to exercise their individual rights have been left to take care of themselves .

It seems that it has become a characteristic of the race to-day, especially in politics, to let the grave responsibilities be borne by the few, and then when something goes wrong to come forth with the spirit of the enthusiast hurling words of wisdom and sarcasm. In fact these are the characteristics by which the ''kicker" may be known wherever he is found.

OUR November election with all its excitement and anxiety has again passed.

Candidates know their portion, and the peo­ ple know their representatives.

Whether results have been for the best or not, it has been proved that the voters have not availed themselves as they should of the opportunities that are afforded in a free country. Different sections have been noted on account of the lack of a full vote. Whatever excuse may be offered back of it all must come the voice exclaiming, "Voter, you are to blame for it all." If politics is corrupt, if wrong men are nominated, what of that? Inactivity can produce no change. Withdraw and you let the boss politician have his way.

Perhaps it may often be justly said that the

lffl'GAIN the time for Thanksgiving vacation is near at hand. Many students are looking forward to a short visit with friends at home, while others are planning for a royal feast with their fellow students. It is a cus­ tom that has had its origin through the relig­ ious beliefs of nations. Some try to trace its beginning to _the time of the Mosaic law, when the Hebrews were accustomed to cele­ brate a plenteous harvest by public festivals.

Others think that it was imported into this. country from Holland, where the "Harvest Home" festival is an annual feature. How­ ever it is generally conceded that the origin of Thanksgiving day in the United States is due to the early settlers of New England. From these states the custom gradually extended into the Middle States, the Western States, and finally into the Southern States. During

It is true that the first duty of the nation is to look to the welfare of its own citizens; yet they should remember that individuals of whatever nationality have natural and inher­ ent rights that should bt: t:Vcr) where recog­ nized, since the exercise of these right:, is nec­ essary to existence.

Let us consider briefly the indications of the past few years that point toward closer in­ ternatioRal relations.

If we look back along the history of the past one hundred years, it is very easy to see the tendency toward the unification of the nations of the earth. They have, as it were, come to­ gether even phy1icially. The ocean that once separated us separ:ites us no longer. Streanis, cables and wireless telegraphy have bridged them. The hinderances that once forbad intercommunication forbid it no longer.

Communication between the most distant countries is now more certain and easy than it was in the last century between two provin­ ces of the same state. A letter from any part R¢latMty of nations of the United States to Rome now costs less than a letter from one town to anothc.r, ten FRANK EDWARDS, '03 miles distant, did sixty years ago.

the Civil War the national executive ap­ pointed days of thanksgiving, and the prece­ dent thus established has been adopted by his successo.rs, and no longer are the proclama­ tions issued by the governors of the several states.

Although it is not a national anniversary nor a day celebrating a religious event, yet, it has gained almost universal recognition in the heart of every American citizen. Regard­ less of religion, faith or church affiliation, it is made a day of n1erriment and feasting, at which families are reunited and ceremonies of a social character prevail. Few other days have gained the recognition in the United States, that has been given to Thanksgiving.

This is certainly a uroof to the fact that there is a det:p religious tenor that permeates the hearts of the American people ; that the social ties that bind those of the same kindred are strong and that we, as a nation, are knit togeLer as a fabric.

The day, considered in the light of the things for which it stands, is one of which we may justly be proud.

OTTERBEIN AJGIS happenings of the world over, which occured last evening. Thus the world physically has become smaller. "Around the world in eighty days" so wildly fantastic only a few years ago has become an every day occurence.

Along with this has gone the disintigration of commercial barriers and the opening up of commercial highways. Piracy and privateer­ ing have disappeared from the ocean. War itself ic; no longer the enemy to commerce it once was, for in civilized warfare the principle that ''Free bottoms make free goods" is rec­ ognized.

But fifty years since, Great Britain adopted free trade, and she has ex­ tended it where ever her fl ag has gone.

As on this continent with forty -five inde­ pendent states not separated by a single cus­ tom house, not separated by a single barrier of any kind, generous rivalry in which neither section thinks that it will build up itself by in­ juring its neighbor, so gradually we are com­ ing to interchange products one with another, community with community, state with state, nation with nation, with the same freedom with which cities interchange with cities and families with families.

The great fertile planes of North America and South America, Australia and Russia, have become the world's producers of grain and pro­ visions and are increasing their supplies of tex­ tiles and edibles reqnired by the w◊-rld in man­ ufacture or for daily consumption. The far E 1st stands ready with its silks and teas. Af­ rica tenders her gold and diamonds and ivory and native tropical products, all of which are required by the great centers of the United States and Europe which furnish in exchange their manufactures of cotton, wool, silk, iron and steel.

Within the past century national unification has been even more remarkable. England has appropiated a large part of Africa and has pr:i.ctic;dly added t0 her dom ain Australasia and Egypt. Germany wl•ich was once a jumble of semi independencies and rival provinces has been welded into one great nation. Your own beloved nation which was nominally one, but

7

really sundered by a great black gulf, has ob­ literated that gulf with the noblest and best of­ fering the nation could give-its brave young men in blue and gray. The great black gulf has paid the penalty of a national error, and the best blood of the land satisfied the eternal law of jt1stice; and to-day it is no mere figure o( rhetoric to say "You know no North, no South, no East, no West, nothing but the Union."

The unification in political ideals among the nations, a fuller discussion of which the brev­ ity of time will not permit, has been still more striking. Suffice it to say that all Europe west of the Russian boundary is governed practically by representative democracies.

This unification-commercial, national and politcal-has been accompanied by a growth of religious unity as re11:arkable. Scarcely a gen­ eration has passed since every nation had its God; now all civilized nations recognize one God of all the nations of the earth. In the protestant churcli the old antagonisms are mitigated and the old differences are falling into disrepute if not oblivion. Says Dr. Abbott "Onr church organizations are still separate, but how little emphasis is placed on their own seperate and often hostile creeds you may tell on Monday morning by reading the reports of Sunday sermons in the newspapers. Not knowing who preached the sermon you can­ not guess to what denomination the preacher belonged." The great religious forces of the world are all for unification.

All these forces, material commercial, in­ dustrial, political, national, religious, find their natural and proper exponent in such gath­ ering!> as the great international ecclesiastical meetings, the great Parliament of Religions, the Pan- American Congress, the Peace Con­ ference and the great Ecumenical Conference of Missions. These are signs and symbols of the truth that we are growing together, that the world is getting itself organized. We have nations organized but the world disorganized.

As one stands on a mountain top and sees the scenery in Scotland is intensely beautiful the valleys running down to the plain below so the life of its people is intensely rich and and through the trees the silver streams trick­ full and sincere.

Rambles in Scotland

OTTERBEIN A!GIS which nothing else can supply; and yet it is a fascination which no inflnence ean ever ob­ literate. Even after the lapse of years and in the busy rounds of professional duties, I find myself still lingering in thought and fancy with these Highlanders in their boundless hap­ piness and freedom. Sometimes, I imagine I can hear the bag-pipes playing some sweet and plaintive air so dear to their native hearts.

Often when I grow weary of the convention­ alities of our busy, throbbing, American life, I find pleasure in reviewing again my wander­ ings among the hills, valleys and lochs of Scotland.

The events of my trip through the Highlands amidst the kind and happy people of the Rob Roy country seem more than ever to be fixed upon my memory and impressed upon my heart. They are indeed a happy people and my visit among them is an experience, novel and precious, which I shall always remember with gratitude and delight. Again it seems as though I can hear the hoarse sighing of the trees and see their tops swaying in the cool breezes of the northern highlands. Again I can see the lofty crags which tower in grandeur around many of the beautiful villages and castles.

The trip from Glasgow into the Burns country is a pleasant one and by no means expensive. The fare from Glasgow, including lunch and admission to all the Burns haunts, is less than two dollars. After a brief run of some fifty miles to Ayr, the tourist takes a cab which is provided by the ticket, and is driven to Alloway, taken through the Burns cottage, the ruins of the old Kirk, the Burns monument, and across the ''Auld Brig o' Doon."

The cottage is in a good state of preserva­ tion. In the sitting-room can still be seen the stool on which the boy Robert Burns sat and the old arm-chair used by his father. They show you also the old mantel pi~ce, the spin­ ning-wheel and the table around which the family used to sit in the long winter evenings.

In the kitchen of the cottage there is much of

9

interest to the tourist; there is the old table from which the family ate their daily meals.

At one side stands the old clock; it is perhaps six feet tall, and one is inclined to wonder how many times the eyes of the great poet must have rested upon this same dial.

This same old clock told the boy Robert of his bed time, school time and meal time. The cupboard which contains the dishes used in the family can still be seen ; in the fire-place the old crane still hangs where the meals were cooked. Even the frying pan in which the cakes were baked i! exhibited.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of a visit to this cottage is a little poem which hangs on the wall in the sitting room, written

by R. G. Ingersoll while paying a visit to the cottage. It hangs on the wall in his own handwriting.

"Though Scotland boasts a thousand names, Of patriot, king and peer, The noblest, grandest of them all Was loved and cradled here.

Here lived the noble peasant prince, The loving cotter, king, Compared with whom the greatest lol·d Is but a titled thing. "'Tis but a cot roofed o 'er with straw, A hovel made with clay, One dvor shuts out the snow and storm, One window greets the day.

And yet I stand within this room And hold all thrones in scorn, For here benea th this lo wly tha tch The sweetest bard was born.

"Within this hallowed hut, I feel Like one who clasps a shrine, When the glad lips have touched at last, That something deemed divine.

And here the world through all the years As long as day returns, The tributes of its love and tears, Will pay to Robert Burns."

The "Auld Brig o' Doon" is in good condi­ tion and is used daily by pedestrians. An old man whose hair and beard are streaked with gray, stands on the bridge and recites tor tourists the poem, Tam O'!::ihanter's Ride, for which he expects a small fee. It was my pleasure as it is of all tourists who visit this

place to take a stroll along ''the banks of the Bonnie Doon." I gathered some pebbles from the bottom of the stream to carry away as keepsakes.

As I sat upon the banks of this lovely stream, its sublime beauty impressed me in the most profound manner. I am not surprised that this stream was so dear to the poet and that he was constrained in after years to recall his boyhood days spent along its banks. ''Oft have 1 roved by Bonnie Doon, To see the rose and woobbine twine, And ilka bird sang o' its love, And fondly sac did Io' mine."

A chapter on Scotland would not be com­ plete without some reference to the city of Edinborough. The trip from Glasgow to Edinborou~h is a brief one of some fifty miles through a section of country which is rich in historic interest. Our train on the North British Railway rolled out of Glasgow about one o'clock and rolled into Waverly Station, Edinborough at two. One of the first objc.:cts which greets the tourist as he ascends from the station to the level of Prince's street is the grim old castle which has been the theater of a large part of Scottish history, romc:1nce and tragedy.

Edinborough is an original city and a relia­ ble exponent of the individuality of the Scotch character. Many a city in both En1;_)and and Scotland is copied after London, but this city had an individuality of her own. No one can help seeing this for it is clear at a glance. At every turn I was constantly impressed with the splendid intellectual atmosphere and the ro­ mantic charm which clusters about the historic spots.

Prince's street reminds me very much of Pennsylvania avenue in Washington. Both are famous streets. Both have a h"ill at the east end; here it is Calton Hill, in Washing­ ton it is Capitol Hill. Both have a prominent buildin g on the summit, here it is the lofty monument to Lord Nelson, in vVashington it is the National Capitol. Pri nce's street is I suppose a mile and a half in length. On the

north side is a long line of business blocks, and on the other extending almost the entir~ length are the Prince's street gardens. Thes~ gardens form a park of wonderful beauty.

The boundary of the south side of the park is formed by the lofty mountain, which rises lik~ an acropolis, in the heart ot the city, and Ot\ which is located the Edinborough Castle.

Among the places of interest in this city is the Palace of Holyrood, the home of Mary, the beautiful "Queen of Scots." This cast!~ will afways possess a fascination for the lovet" of history. The exterior of the palace im, pressed one as does any old castle.

W~ entered by the central entrance which is guarded by a kilt-skirted highland soldier, and passed at once up a winding stair to the aud, ience room of Lord Darnley. This palace was in the height of its grandeur about the yeat­ J 56o or a little after.

That is the time when it became the home of Mary, Queen of Scots.

At that time the most interesting part of its history was enacted. The first large room you pass into is the banquet hall of the palace.

On the walls of this hall are hung nearly one hundred oil paintings executed hundreds of years ago by artists of the days of the Scottish queen. The pictures are about one and one­ half times life size. The hall is ;:ibout I 50 f< et long and 50 feet wide. It i::; about as it was in Mary's time except the floor. I was i11de( d profoundly moved when I stood in thts hall and pondered over the events of history which this hall had witnessed. In it was held many a banquet, where the courtiers of Scotla1,d and perhaps England fea&ted. Herc the roy;;l guests danced to delightful music ar:d all who beheld the beautiful and queenly Lostess must have been enchanted by hc:r loveliness of per­ son and graces of wanner. On the ground floor, but now in ruins, is the chapd royal.

Here many royal weddings occurnd, and here Mary and her courtiers attended service.

Passing further up -stairs, you enter Mary's audience room. Here can be seen her royal furniture, tables, etc. ; then passing on to the next room, we enter Mary's private bed room.

The snap and dash which characterized the Kenyon game was lacking against Heidelberg, and on the whole was one of the poorest played games of the season.

Otterbein met her third defeat at the hands of Heidelberg in a loosely played game. A kick-off by Van Sickle s ~arted the game and Heidelberg came slowly up to the middle of the field on plays just outside tackle, only to lose it on downs.

The goal was kicked.

This ended the scoring and the game was called on account of darkness, with the ball in Wesley­ an's possession on Otterbein's 45-yard line and 12 minutes to play.

Flick played an excellent game at quarter.

All of the backs did excellent work both on offense and defense. The line charged on every play and opened good holes for the backs. The ends also helped the runner with the ball in a first-class manner, pulling him along for yards, after he had been tackled.

The team work was the best seen this season.

The men were in fine condition, not a substi­ tute being used during the whole game.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI,

17-oTTERBEIN, 0

This was comparatively the worst defeat which Otterbein has received this season and was in many ways a repetition of the Heidel­ berg game. Without question the long, hard trip had much to do with the playing of the home team, but that does not excuse it en­ tirely. A glaring line of tumbles, poor work in the line, and high tackling are mainly responsible for the result. The work of the whole team was lifeless and most of the gains were made by individual work. Whenever a man got free there was no one to aid him in advancing the ball. Yost made a 25-yard run and Bates made several from ro to 15 yards.

Cincinnati made her first touchdown by stratght rushing from the center of the field.

Her second came after Otterbein had held for downs on her 5-yard line. On the very first play Lloyd fumbled and from this point Cin-

13

cinnati pushed it over for her second, making the score r I to o. The second half was almost a duplicate of the first, only the defense of Otterbein was weaker than before, holding them as a rule till the third down and allowing them to make their distance on the fourth.

The third touchdown came after Otterbein had held for three downs on her own 5-yard line, on the fourth down the ball was pushed for five yards and over the line with three tackles haaging on the man's neck. A low tackle would have prevented the score. This ended the scoring, but the ball changed hands several times before the game was over.

MIAMI, 6-o. U., 5 Otterbein for the first time in many years has been defeated on Dayton grounds. An­ other strange thing connected with this game is the fact that here 0. U. made the first touchdown of the season. Before the game the managers of both teams had a lively time over the qualifications of three of the Miami players.

It w.is a plain case of "ringers," with which Miami was afflicted, and all that saved her from football quarantine was that on the day before the ga.ne these ''ringers" had registered at that college. This, however, was no excuse for our defeat, as Otterbein, when they felt disposed could advance the ball for large gains and throughout the whole game proved them­ selves to be a much faster and better trained team than their opponents.

The game started with 0. U. kicking to Miami, the latter then proceeded by hard line bucking and an occasional end run to carry the ball down the field and over the line for a touchdown. Miami kicked goal. The first half ended Miami 6 ; 0. U. o. Otter­ bein, after receiving an inspiring lecture, started the second half with her old time rush and vigor and soon had the Miami boys off their feet and defending their endangered goal. After a series of hard bucks Bates was pushed over for 0. U's first touchdown, and strange to say he was neither struck by lightning nor engulfed in an earth-

quake. 0. U. missed goal, thereby losing the game. There was a very noticeable lack of 0. U. supporters at the game and the rooting was exceedingly thin.

WITTENBERG, I I-OTTERBEIN, 6 Nov. 15th our team lined up against the Wittenberg eleven 11.t Springfield. The day was an ideal one for football. The field, how• ever, was very soft, having but recently been plowed and rolled. Wittenberg had the advan­ tage in weight, 0. U. in speed. Both teams were stronger on offense than defense. After 28 ½ minutes of rushing the ball backward and for­ ward Wittenberg scored a touchdown around the right end. About this time some fancy tack­ ling was done. Half ended with ball in O. U. 's possession on Wittenberg's 30 yard line. In the early part of the second half pugilistic encounters were very frequent. The game was called once in favor of Otterbein on account of Capt. Han­ ning's refusal to abide by a decision of Official Black.

After considerable delay, the man­ agers of the two teams agreed to resume the game. Wittenburg by lil'le bucks scores a sec­ ond touchdown. Otterbein then secures the ball and by rapid plays scores a touchdown and kicks goal. Score: Wittenberg 11, O. U. 6. Otterbein again got possession of the ball and advanced it steadily toward Wittenberg's goal. Time is called with the ball in 0. U. 's possession on \Vittenberg's 35-yard line.

The crying need at present as it has been all the season is the need of a second team, with thirty suits or ove.1 given out, why can we not have more than sixteen or seventeen men out ? Other colleges no larger than Ot­ terbein have two teams on the field nearly every day and that is why they win against us. It shows either a woeful lack of college spirit or indifference. It is to be hoped for the future welfare of Atheletics at Otterbein that it is not the former.

Our showing against Kenyon, 0. W. U. and 0. S. U. were due more to this fact than anything else, and, we can still finish the season in a credit­ able manner if the students will make a per-

· st a sonal matter of it. Daily practice again second team is impera~ive. Without that are powerless. We may as well have a gooif team as a poor one if we have any at all. . h Otterbein were aware of the reputation whic . ly she has for pluck all over the state, certain_ ·t in she would leave no stone unturned to niai a it. What is more satisfying to hear from an . outsider, than such phrases as t h ese, ••She certainly has a plucky team" or "They are a crowd of fighters." The writer has hea:d th-.:se many times but sometimes doubted it.

The last ten days of practice have revealed a few things which should be brought to notice.

The team is lacking in aggressive men, a feel­ ing of indifference has taken hold of them.

The men physically are in good condition as far as injuries are concerned but the trouble with her is in the training. Late hours and lack of duty have begun to produce their ef­ fect and as a r..:sult the greater part of the men are getting stale. At present the team should be able to stand driving, but it is doubtful whether they could stand a hard game like the one with Delaware and last it through.

Of course it is largely a matter of personal honor with each individual whether he com­ plies with the rules or not and it lies with him whether he will do the best he can. A man who will not, has not the first instiPcts of a football player and further is 110 credit to him­ self or his college which he n·prese11ts. When a man is practically sure of his position on a team, or perhaps is indispensable to it, he should only exert himself the more, and do what he is told to do cheufully and to the best of his ability. Then and only then sh<>ll we have a team.

A word to those who read these lines. \Ve have two more games to play. Come out on the field every night and shake off this feeling of laisse faire. Let the men know the} have the college behind them. Encourage them but do not discourage them. A losing team, if it plays with a dogged determination from

Rev. J. R. King was present at the meeting of October 23, and made a stin ing plea for workers in Africa. His heart is in that work.

Mr. King and wife were on their way to Africa to take charge of the work in that field.

On November 6 we had a '•kickers' meet­ ing" led by Mr. Deller. The meeting seemed to be characterized by a spirit of general good feeling. The Christian spirit in which the kicking was done made us all feel good to get kicked. We hope the Y. M. C. A. will profit by the excellent suggestions which were received in that meeting.

Sunday evening, Nov. 9, there was a joint meeting of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. held in the Association building. It was the opening meeting of the week of prayer, and it served as a preparatory meeting for the other services of the week. The meetings are starting off with good attend• ance and growing intensity.

Y.

Mrs. Lesher, who spent a short time in mission work in Africa, gave us a talk on the home life of the African people, at our No­ vember missionary meeting.

The week of prayer, to which we have been looking forward, is r.ere. The first noon-day prayer meeting was well attended, and very good interest was shown. We will be very fortunate in having with us, during this week, Miss Spencer, our new state secretary, and we may expect great good from her visit.

Nineteen girls have enrolled in the Mission Study class, and are finding the work very interesting. Miss Easton, who for nine years

15

was engaged in mission work among the women of India, gave the class a very good address on the needs and the condition of the work in that country, Sunday, Nov. 2.

For the first time in our history we are to have a state secretary, who will spend the entire year among the Associations of Ohio.

This has never before been possible on account of funds. The need of a secretary has become so great, that the Wooster con­ vention took this advance step, trusting that the Associations will come forward and meet the need~. A part of this responsibility falls upon us, and it means that we must increase our personal pledges for the state work.

At Wooster, Ohio, October 23-26, the annual convention of the Young Women's Christian Association was held. Eleven of our girls attended and all report a very good meeting. The leaders of the convention were among the best,and the influence of their own grand lives upon most of those in attendance was more beneficial than any feature of the convention itself. Every girl felt stronger spiritually for having been there. The stu­ dents and cit:zens of Wooster entertained all the delegates in a royal manner.

Jllumnals W. E. Lloyd, '02, distinguished himself in the 0. M. U.-Notre Dame game at Colum­ bus ov. 1st.

J. B. Hughes, '02, was in attendance at the Miami-Otterbein game at Dayton Nov. 8th.

"Bud" longed for a suit and wished himself in the game.

E. D. Ressler, '9 r, the first business man­ ager of the JEGIS, writes us that he lacks the following papers of making a complete file: April, '91; January, February, March, Sep­ tember and October, '92; February and March, '93. If anyone is able to furnish them to him he will willingly pay regular publisher's rates.

He also has extra copies of the following numbers, which he is willing to give in ex­ change: June and November, '90; February

and June, '91; October, '94; March and November, '95. Address him at Monmouth, Oregon.

The announcement has been made that there has been a new arrival at the home of our missionary, A . T. Howard, '94.

Frank Orville Clements, '96, formerly chem­ ist for the Pennsylvania Railroad company, has accepted a similar position for the United States navy.

Miss Mary Noble, '02 of voice, from Clays­ ville, Pa., spent several weeks of this month visiting Miss Myrna Brinker, '02 of music, at Scottdale, Pa. E. F. Bohn, '02, was also prt:sent at the above mentioned game.

He is engaged in Y. M. C. A. work at Dayton and expects to make this his future work.

Mrs. Anna Gard Jones, a student at 0. U. in '92-93, was married to L. A. Robinson, professor of Mathematics and Physics in the Oregon State Normal located at Monmouth, September 16, 1902.

The most enthusiastic crowd of spectators ever seen at a foot ball game on the 0 . U. gridion was the one which watched the game between 0. W. U. and Otterbein.

President Scott made a flying trip to Day­ ton on Nov. 8, in the interest of the college.

We are glad for the interest that Dayton has in Otterbein and feel that it will continue to increase.

At a recent meeting of the Athetic board Louis Weinland, '04 was elected baseball man­ ager and B. Frank Shively, '05, basket ball manager. It is hoped that good schedules can be arranged for these teams.

The Senior class has decided to wear caps and gowns, and instead of each one speaking his little piece, they will have a representative.

One thing is certain, it will not take much cloth to furnish this class with gowns.

It seems that explosions have been the or­ der of the day in the Labortory during the past month. Although none proved serious, several of the boys carry scars as a result of the same. Ask Deller whether hydrogen gas burns?

Rev. A. L. Boring was appointed to Glas­ gon charge at the reeent session of Allegheny conference. Mr. Boring is well known in 0.

Slumber parties were all the go during the past month.

However, judging from the eyes of those who took part in them and the inability to keep awake in the recitation, "A Wake," would have been a more appropriate name for them.

At a recent cabinet meeting of the Y . M. C. A. plans and specifications were submitted for the purpose of putting a cement floor in the southeast room of the basement, and then put in shower baths, tilt basins and lockers.

The old time pranks of Hallowe'en seem to be a thing of the past. Outside of thro,\ ing corn and removing stone steps nothing of im­ portance transpired. A number of small par­ ties were held which added to the occasion.
