...many of Bismarck's governmental monopoly schemes has shown the power of state socialism there. The perfect organization of the German army has aided the growth of socialistic schemes, for acquiescence to authority has become a part of the German mind. In England, however, socialism is democratic; it has grown up from experience. Although Englishmen have always objected to state interference, yet they have fallen into ideas that border very closely on state control of railroads and other public enterprises.

Nothing has been more familiar in past years than for our freshman foot-ball elevens and base-ball nines to encounter defeat at the outset. How familiar to us have grown such phrases as "freshmen rattled," "wretched game," "decided brace," etc. It is the custom for freshman teams to feel defeat. They need it. But to draw too hopeless a conclusion from defeat is not the means to accomplish a necessary end. It would be strange, indeed, if eighty-nine...
