BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Mud, Mud, Everything Mud-Purdue's
Heavy Mei<hf Right Gunrd.


Heavy Weight Right Guard.
The mud at the fair grounds yesterday
stood out in Princeton ~colors-black and old
gold. or as near as yellow mud can get
TO old gold. That part of the gridiron field
nearest the spectators was black, while
the north side was the yellow, the almost
denuded turf. Some light-footed man had
gone over the field in the morning and
painted it with very pretty white stripes,
which stood out well in relief. The white
stripes also had a tendency to deceive the
eye as TO the real condition of the field,
as several venturesome men who walked
across 1t early in the afternoon found out.
Toward the end of their trip they fully
understood and appreciated the labors of a
North Dakota snow pillow. The mud was
fully six inches deep and very mushy at
that. 1t seemed bad enough to make even
those hardy college youngsters faintheart-
ed. Everyone who came into the stand
seemed to feel it a bounden duty to call
his neighbours attention to the mud. There
was a theme Of conversation for you-mud.
The pretty girl wearing the yellow of De
PAW forgot for a moment the handsome
boys on the college team to talk-mud.
Coroner Beck. driving his gray horse, came
into the grounds with a business look in
his eye. He had not seen the field. He
looked over the low rail fence, scanned
the field critically and shook his head. Too
much mud for a good coroner's case. A
few hundred only were in the lonesome
grand stand a few minutes before 2, but
within ten minutes the crowd came pouring
in in the numbers of an army, the numer-

why English Railways Excel.


So much is heard of the much more SUBJ
stantial manner English roads are built
than are American railways that the fol-
lowing will be read with interest: 1.-The
American people can get anything they
want in the way of railway roadbeds,
railway equipment and railway safety if
they buy it. But they cannot get English
permanent ways and English stone via
ducts and the English armies of employees
so long as they continue to pay only the
American tariff rates. a recent computa-
ton has shown that if American railways
received on the average on all freight
hauled only so much more than their pres
ent rates as the lowest class English
American rate then the annual earnings
of the American railways as a whole
would be about $3.50. 900, O0 greater than
they are. With $3.50, 0O0. 600 a year more
money to spend, American railway man.
ayers could save n good many lives. There
railway building IN England more costly
than here-questionS of obtaining right of
way and terminal grounds, and of "parlia-
mentary expenses" But whether these
compensated for by the extra cheapness
of labor and material is an open question
The fact is that the greater part of the
English expenditure is owing directly to
this one requirement, which is forced upon
English railways of building for the great
of grade crossings, the substantially of
their rOadbedS, bridges and other Struc-
lures, and the compulsory adoption of sys-
TENS of block signaling. 1t is possible in
the same Investment and by paying the
same rates"

TONNAGE POOLS
Plea in Behalf of Amending the
Interstate Commerce Act.
How Railways Would Be Benefited
Reasons Why English Roads EX-
eel Some American Lines.

1t seems we'll understood among railway
officials that efforts to establish tonnage
pools through acts of Congress will be
mad There is a growing feeling that the
interstat&commerce act should be so
amended as 10 permit of railways pooling
their tonnage. An Eastern paper, in COM
menting on this character of pools. says:
There can be no question as to the ad-
vantages of such pools in contributing to
the maintenance of rates. In fact there is
no incentive for a road to cut when it is
certain of its share of the traffic at the
full tariff. 1t is true that the desire of
a road is to be allotted as large a per-
centage as possible of the total business
covered by a pool, but when the plan was
In operation 1t was found easy enough to
dispose of differences in the allotment by
referring them to arbitrator. 1t may be
said that arbitration was never successful
IN securing adherence to schedule rates
when other influences were not at work in
that direction. Could Congress be prevailed
upon to permit pooling there is reason,
from past experience, 10 believe that the
market would be satisfactory. 1t is not
too much to say that rates more clearly
fixed could be established under this plan
than under any other"
