There has been a marked increase
of interest in athletics this year, es-
pecially in basket ball and tennis. In
the match games of tennis between the
Normal and Industrial colleges, victory
fell to the latter. At the conclusion
of the games the Athletic association
entertained the normal students. Re-
freshments were served and the stu-
dents of the two institutions mingled
in a social good time.
Winter classes in floriculture have
been organized. This work is of spe-

Mayor MeClellan of New York Re-
vokes 550 Licenses.
New York, Dec. 25—Moved by pro-
tests of ministers of every denomina-
tion who complained to him that the
great majority of the 550 moving pic-
ture show establishments of Greater
New York were exhibiting pictures
detrimental to the morale of the youth
of the city, Mayor McClellan has is-
sued a drastic order revoking every
picture show license issued by the bu-
reau of licenses.
The order intimates that the revoca-
tion is only temporary, but the condi-
tions under which new licenses will
be issued are such that .it is doubtful
if more than one-third of the licenses
revoked will be reissued.
In addition to the representations
made to nim by the clergy of the ity,
the mayor had had a report from Bat-
talion Chief Beggins of the fire de-
partment. which stated that almost
without exception the halls where such
shows are given are only partially
equipped with safeguards against fire
and fire panics.
The order has caused consternation
among the moving picture show people
and precautions are being made by
them to contest its validity in the
courts.

The New York Times, with a repu-

upon a pedestal and editorially com-
meated tpon the dirfisudies of get*
ting together th news for a morn-
ing paper and giving that news to the
public in an accurate and dependable
going to press are so great as to be
unknown except to those who make
morning newspapers. That inaccura-
cies occur is inevitable. But unless
inaccuracies are corrected as soon as
full details are obtainable, no paper
can hope to be accepted as trust-
worthy in any sense. Also, reporting
is one thing and editorial treatment
of a news story is another. The one
handles the facts of an occurrence as
they are offered, seeking to sift the
grain from the chaff. There should
be no chaff in editorial comment.
Editorial expression should be the
result of a mature summing up of
the later ascertained facts in the case.

in this solution and work it about with
the wooden spoon, not touching it with

The fall quarter of the College of In-
dustrial Arts at Denton closed Wednes-
day, Dec. 23. The attendance this year
has held up better than ©ver before,
only four studeuts having dropped out
since school began. The marked im-
provement is attributable to the new
dormitories and to the improvements in
the course of study.
The closing exercises were of a na-
ture appropriate to the season, consist-
ing of Christmas music by the orches-
tra, songs by the students, readings,
etc. The Athletic association pre-
sented a pennant to the junior class
as a token of their victory in basket
ball, and President Work presented to

overtaken by a party of horse-
back riders, composed of two
gentlemen and two ladies. They
passed us and went on in front.
We rode along for about half a
mile, and as it was then getting
late we started forward more
rapidly and soon overtook and
passed the two gentlemen and
two ladies and went on ahead of
them. In a few minutes the party
came up with a rush and passed
us. We recognised the President,
and I think the other gentleman
was Mr. Cortelyou of the treasury
department, and the two ladies
were Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt As the party
passed us the President's horse
