Many strangers have been specializing
on the cost of the Paris Exposition. II
amounts to $1,000, 900; but when to
this is added the various amounts ex.
pended by the French Ministerial De.
partment from the funds placed at their
disposal for the purpose of entertaining
foreign guests and for other incidental
OUTLAWS, and those by foreign Govern
ments and individual exhibitions, the
total, according to rough estimate of
the department of public works, cannot
fall short of $50, 100000. The expense
of the glittering exhibition on the
Champs de Mars in money was large,
and so was its cost in life and limb. 1t
is calculated that during the construction
$500 men were treated for injuries or
for illness resulting from exposure 900
workmen hurt their legs, zoo received
severe injuries to their eyes from pro-
jecting timbers or bars of iron; ia
we're scalded or severely burned, and
50 had their fingers cut off. The deaths
from falls are put down at the modest
figure of "a but it IS believed that they
were tar more numerous.-Scienhfc

1t has been serious question in the
minds of many people whose lntelli-
gence cannot be doubted, whether the
chief element in the modern game OF
football is not physical force, and in
many instances positive brutality, rather
than skill and scientific training. 1t is
certainly true, whatever may be the just
scientific standard OF the game as COM
pared with cricket, or baseball, that
many competitive games of foot ball
have been disgraced by unmistakable
acts OF rufianism and brutality. We
are very glad therefore to quote the
opinion of so eminent an authority as
the Philadelphia Ledger as to the real
character of legitimate foot ball when it
says that: at is a mistake to suppose
that the game is played by means of
force alone ; it is planned and played
chiefly by means of ingenious and va
ried combinations, which are rendered
effective by secret signs, and which can
be made to fail, not by force, but by
the opposing teams ability to meet the
results of the signals. There is a very
common belief that cricket is the most
scientific OF all field sports, but the sup
porters of football contend that such is
not the case, and they vigorously pro-
test against the charge so frequently
made that the chief element of the lat
ter is that Of physical force. Much OF
that which the unskilled spectator sees
is undoubtedly the putting forth by the
players of muscle rather than brains,
and yet underneath all that is a direct
ing thought and purpose. The play
ers do nothing within the rules, and,
for the sake of the game, it is to be re
gretted that they do anything outside
the rules, which IS not beforetimes
schemed and calculated with careful
regard to results. A system of tactics
in football movement, which are in.
comprehensive to the spectator, and
not always or thoroughly understood by
the opposing team, sometimes require
as many as eight different players to ex-
ecute them. If the first player fails to
effect his part of the scheme, the sec
ond one stands ready to remedy failure
and so on up to the eighth man."

looking at the commerce of the South
American States with feelings exercised
by the great advantage ii was believed
there was in it. The people, under
those Governments even that held back
from a recognition of the insurgent
Governments of America, were studying
the subject with that strong interest
stimulated by gain, and books had been
published setting forth the commercial
side of the case. But Clay, after read
ing to the House passages from one of
these books "a translation of the work
of Able de Pradt) on the Importance
of the commerce of South America,
brushed that phase of the subject aside
by exclaiming: "What would l give
could we appreciate the advantages
which may be realized by pursuing the
course which l propose p at is in our
power to create a system in which all
South America will act with US" "We
should become the centre of a system
which would become the rallying point
OF human wisdom against all the des-
potism OF the Old World"
This view Mr.. Clay held to be "inf-
nltely more gratifying" than any COM
merclal or manufacturing interest. He
spoke as one having in full vision a new
apocalypse, revealing the increasing
millions, the expanding resources, the
accumulating power of the three Amer
icas, as they exist at this time, when

Clay spoke as if his far-reaching in
tellectual vision foresaw this day. "Aus

The unfounded charge made against

The unfounded charge made against
Vice President Morton that he applied
for license and is receiving the profits
of a "Bar" in his new Apartment House
in Washington ought to be set at rest
by the following statement of the facts
in the case published by Mr.. S. A.
Brown member of the firm that has
charge of Mr.. Morton's real estate in
terests in Washington. Mr.. Brown says
"The agency for leasing the apartments
and the general management Of the
Shoreham was placed in the hands of
our firm long before the building was
completed. Since we assumed the
management all leases and business ar
rangements connected with the proper
ty have been made by our firm. In the
second place, there is no truth what
ever in the many statements that have
been made that there is a bar, saloon
or buffet in the building, or that Mr..
Morton has signed an application for a
license to sell liquors in the Shoreham.

As will be seen by our report of the
Proceedings of the meeting of Stock
holders of the Cecil County Agricultural
Society held on Monday last. a very
excellent Board of Managers has been
elected, and although the exhibit of the
financial condition of the Society is not
as encouraging as we should like to see
it, yet the condition of the Society is
no worse than it has been for several
years past, and we are firmly of the
opinion that it can be extricated from
its present embarrassments by prudent
and business like management of its at
fairs. More than that, we believe the
present Board is not only willing to use
every reasonable endeavor to place the
Society on better business basis, but
that it can command the backing and
support in the county necessary to this
end. In this connection we call the
attention of the friends of the Asssocia-
ton to communication in the Fair
column which we have asked from DR..
c. M. Ellis, outlining his views as to the
best course to be pursued BY the new
management IN relieving the Society of
its present embarrassment. We believe
the plan he suggests is entirely feasible,
and that 1t can be successfully carried
out. We are aware that it involves
some cooperation upon the part of the
friends of the Society throughout the
county, but we think that sufficient in
terest can be awakened to secure tina.
cooperation and to save the Society
from an untimely dissolution.

1t was a sad Thanksgiving day for
the people of Lynn, Mass, which on
Tuesday was visited by confagration
which devastated square mile of ter
ritory IN the business section of the city,
consuming four newspaper Offices, three
bank buildings, twelve shoe blocks, a
church, twenty-five stores, and many
dwellings, mostly of the poorer class.
The loss is estimated at 100000.

In the death of George II. PendletoI

In the death of George H. Pendleton
late U. S. Minister at Berlin, the Dem
ocratic party has lost one of its ablest
representatives, and the country at large
one of its most accomplished citizens.
Mr.. Pendleton died on Sunday last in
Brussels from stroke of apoplexy, al
though he had been in feeble health for
two years past. Whatever favorable
opinion he may have forfeited by his
authorship of the notorious "Ohio idea"
of imitation, was in a measure redeemed
by his courageous advocacy of the re-
form in the Civil Service in the face of
defeat by the machine" element of his
party. While he was not by any means
democratic" in his personal habits and
social surroundings, yet he was a grace
full speaker, fluent debater and pol
ished diplomat. His death is generally
regretted.

The delegates to the International
American Congress while recently in
Kentucky visited the burial place oil
that eminent Wing statesman, Henry
Clay, which the Philadelphia Ledge,
thinks was very graceful thing for them
to do, in view of the fact, that while
Clay is best known to the practicalpol-
itics of our day as the Father of the
American system of protection to Amer
lean industry" yet he was best known
as the father of the effort to establish
an "American system" OF American
Nations.
Among the products of his brilliant
and effective eloquence in Congress
was that resolution, adopted on his mo-
ton May goth, 1920, by the House
OF Representatives "That it is expe-
dent to provide by law suitable outfit
and salary for such Minister or Minis
tiers as the President, BY and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, may
send to any of the Governments of
South America which have established
and are maintaining their independence
of Spain"
That meant recognition of their in
dependence. The term "South Amer
lea" was generic at that time, and in
the popular understanding meant all Of
the American continent south of the
United States. He had been in favor
of recognizing the independence of
those Southern nations two years before
and he persisted in his agitation for
their recognition until recognition be-
came an accomplished fact.
Even at that early period European
merchants and manufacturers were
