IX VIEW of all elrcuinsstniK'es the visit of President Koosevelt to the Chin leston exposition bids fulr to bo followed by most gratifying results. While little thought has been given to the Idea that the Tillman episode cnuid uioue 111 feeling of any Importance in the city, ninny had mis givings us to whether the president would 1ip universally welcomed in the Bouth on account of the newspaper talk that was unintentionally aroused by the Invitation of Hooker Washington to the white house some time ngo. Hut the leception accorded the presi dent has been marked by unaffected cordiality that has dispelled any doubts as to the high esteem in which the chief magistrate is held by the patriotic citizens of the South. Every feature of the entertainment thus far has been characterized by a hearty good will and genial hospitality that fully sus tains the reputation of the generous Southerner of ante helium days. He gardless of politics or creed there seems to have beeji a general desire on the part of all that the president should carry away only the most delightful recol lections of his visit. The Pouth, like the North, Is undoubt edly allllcted with lestless and ofllci ous spirits of restricted intellect and unlimited vocabulary who profess to hold the key to the situation ever upon their tongue's end, and who can occa hionally make considerable noise .when allowed opportunity; but it is gratify ing to observe that when the masses are permitted to give an expression of feeling ns in the present Instance, the South is ever ready to prove that its people aie too sensible and too loyal to be affected by the petty Issues that oc casionally arouse the demagogues to action. During the present trip President Koosevelt will not only be the means of causing unusual inleiest to center upon the enterprise of the piogressive city, but will also have opportunity of doing much in the way of further cementing the bonds of friendship between the two sections of our great country. The evidence given' that the citizen of the South today is living in the present and not In the past augurs well for the future of the nation. The appearance of C.ipt.ilu Christ mas upon the diplomatic singe may be characterized as a vaudeville act of brief duration. Athleticism and the Rhodes Stan dards.

That ho could not himself attain them in early life may be attributed to the causes which Intenupted his college course and carried him into unwilling exile, as the wild Tartar hoi.se- bine the helpless Mn- ,zeppa to a throne.

There Is a reaction In Knglntul against the overdoing of college und unlvpislty nthlptlcH to which The Lon don Times linn given the powerful sup port of Its editorial approval. In a re cent discussion or this subject It took the ground that to permit a young man to devote himself chlclly lo training for lutcrscholtiHtlc and Intercollegiate "events" ni the tllne when what he most needs Is mental training and dis cipline to lit 111 til for the serious busi ness of life It to waste precious oppor tunities without picscut or ultimate compensation, "it Is Impossible," says the Times, "to shut one's eyes to the fact that from an educational, If not from a national, point of view, the thing Is vastly overdone." Its effect Is to unlit young men for the careeis to which their mental endowment and so cial advantages would warrant them In aspiring, A great many fine specimens of the human animal may be the pro duct of this system, but even In this respect Its value has been overestimat ed. Cause and effect are often trans posed to the confusion of the seeker after a basis for safe generalizations. The fact that only young men with n superior physical endowment excel In nthletlcs mifilclently accounts for the fact that those who excel In athletics are usually fine specimens of physlcnl manhood. That theie Is also a reaction in pro gress In this country against the fad of academic and collegiate athleticism Is Indicated by the fact that It Is be coming increasingly difficult to find young men of the kind wanted who are willing to "go in" ror athletics seriously enough to satisfy the professional train ers of school and college teams. The difficulty is perhaps due rather to par ental prohibition than to youthful dis inclination. When It becomes an Im possibility, it may occur to the Facul ties of these Institutions' to consider whether the surplus energies of young men ambitious to 'excel cannot be di rected into other and more productive channels. Xew York Times. It is to the credit of Charleston that the authorities have concluded that it is not necessary that a prize light should be "pulled off" theie in order that the city's place upon the map may be made secure. What is Dlngleylsm? T1IK pretense of the gone-daft protectionists that, in oppos ing any change of the Dlng ley schedules, they are fol lowing in the footsteps of Xelson Ding- ley or doing honor to his memory, Is absolutely without foundation in fact, says the Washington Post. Equally unjustillable are the sneers at Dlngleylsm in which some of the advocates of tariff revision are indulg ing. If the statesmanship of Xelson Dlng ley may be gauged by the prosperity of the country under the tariff which bears his name, to what American statesman can be assigned n. higher place than belongs to him? It 111 be comes the enemies of pioteetion to sneer at a system which has belled all their predictions, and under which re sults have been accomplished which all of tliPin declared to be Impossible. If the discredit of a doctrine is com plete when the falsity of all the argu ments or theoiles advanced In its sup port is demonstuted, was there ever a colder corpse than the cadaver of free trade as It lies molderlng beside Its sis ter heresy, 1C to 1, In the grave where both of them have been laid since the Dlngley tariff was Inaugurated? The gieatest glory of Dingley's wmk Is that it has been true to the basic principle of protection. In absolute fidelity lo the logic of protection the Dlngley tariff has diminished the need of protection by reducing the cost of production. If Xelson Dlngley were living today he would point to that fact ns his ull-sufllclent vindication. Instead of contending for the main tenance of the rates of duly which he deemed necessary In 1SU7, he would show that the effects of those rates had been such strengthening nnd develop ment of some of our industries as to put them beyond the need of further pioteetion, and such uplifting of other industries as called for a diminution of their protection. That is the doctrine of protection that Is Dlngleylsm. There is food for thought in whnt President Spencer of the Southern Hall way company told tho peoplo of Vir ginia at the Charlottesville guod roads congress. lie s.tld the average cost of railroad transportation Is now one-half of a cent a ton a mile, whereas the farmers of the United States In most Instances are paying for transportation by wagon from S to 2u times as much. It costs $10,000 a mile to build a railroad and only a few hundred dollars a niilu to build a good dirt and 'shale or mac adam road. Some day the farming In terests of this country will do a little Intelligent studying and figuring on the subject of good roads as they affect farm values, and when that time conies tho good roads will soon follow.
