THE FOOTBALL CRAZE.

Football seems to be the craze of
the day among the youth Of the land.
But it seems to have taken more
virulent form among the college stu
dents, where the game reaches it's
most scientific development. at least
there is where it is attended with the
most serious results, which seem to be
an evidence of scientific play.
The matter is receiving more or less
attention in the press and the manner
in which the game is now being played
is being condemned. The sport is ex-
citing at all times; but under the pres
ent rules it is more exciting from the
very fact that the assaults and counter
assaults of those engaged in it are
fiercer and more brutal than ever. If
the members of the crack teams were
not men of superior physique, and if
this We're not fully developed by a
course of severe training, they would
very soon go down in the contests,
while youths who are soft" would not
be able to stand it at ALL
Athletics are good thing and should
be encouraged within reasonable lin
its, but when their influence on the
minds of young men at college becomes
so great that the very things for which
they are at college-education and
learning-are made almost if not quite
secondary matters, then they become
harmful

when Yale and Harvard played, Hin

another Harvard player, was disabled
by a wrenched shoulder. He was at
tended by a doctor and then rejoined
the Harvard lines. Very soon he was
by a Yale man, who seized
his arm with both hands and violently
Wrenched it from the shoulder. That
was an example of brutality that was
a disgrace to humanity.
In the recent game between Yale
and Harvard, Hinl1ey resorted to his
old tactics. He jumped on Wrfghting-
ton. During the game Wrightington
had his collar bone broken, while one
player got a broken leg and another a
broken nose.
All this may be necessary as the
game is now played, but the question
is, is it necessary that the game should
be played as now?
There are other games that are just
as healthful and void of the danger,
there are other forms of exercise equal
ly as beneficial, such as riding, BIZ
cycling, boating, baseball and the like.
The aim of the college is to make
sound mind in a sound body, but foot
oail seems to play havoc with the body

From all this it may be fairly infer
red that, in the opinion of the writer.
there is no reason to believe that poly
gamists win control the new state of
Utah." Although that is not stated IN
so many words, it is to be presumed
that the narration of facts and the
views expressed will tend to convince
the tiDlid who may yet have fears as
to Utah's future, that there is no dam
ger of the catastrophe which haunts the
minds of people at a distance, when
they contemplate the clothing of Utah
with the habiliments and powers of
sovereign statehood The effects of the
article in the Forum cannot fail to be
reassuring to the uniformed. and
therefore must be beneficial to all
parties concerned. 1t is a very read
able contributionyto current literature.

GLEN MILLER IN THE 'FORUM."

The Forum for December contains a
well-written article by Glen Miller OF
this city, entitled will Polygamists
Control the New State of Utah?" The
question is asked, but the answer is
not given. Indirectly the reply may be
inferred as in the negative.
The writer takes the ground that
But for the institution of polygamy,
Utah would long ago have become a
state" There is perhaps much truth in
the assertion, although We have had it
recently from prominent Republican
authority, that it was not utah's poly
gamy but her Democracy which was
the real barrier, while polygamy was
but a pretext for her exclusion. How
ever, the pretext accomplished the pur-
pose for which it was used, that is to
excite public prejudice and keep up the
hostility against her admission.
The writer acknowledges that this
was the case in the attitude of Utah
opponents to her statehood, and that
"polygamy was made the scapegoat
upon which the anti-Mormon popula-
ton of Utah piled it's combined griev-
ances." He gives a fair statement of
the situation under the old conditions
and of the causes which led to the
changes that have taken place the
turning point being the issuance and
adoption of the manifesto. On that he
remarks: THAT the Mormons were sin
cere. both in renouncing polygamy and
disbanding their political party, no one
with the affairs of Utah
during the past four years can for a
moment doubt Their acts have con-
frmed their professions"
The political division in Utah receives
extended treatment, and the writer's
drawn from observation and
on the spot, is that ''No sort
of religious interference is tolerated."
and that ITO whichever of the national
parties the Mormon voter gave his al
legiance, he gave it with all the earn
estness and enthusiasm of the new con-
vert"
The school question comes in next
for comment, and though the past ed
ucational system of Utah receives but
scant recognition, indeed is belittled
far beyond its deserts, yet justice is
done to the progress observed at pres
ent and this gives brightness to the
predicted future.
Home industries and the comming-
ling of Mormons and Gentiles in BUSH
ness relations, with the revolution that
has taken place in social customs and
the advance in the direction of mod
ern taste and improvement, are cited
as leading TO the conclusion that:
utah is rapidly losing those strange
features Of life which made her an OBJ
ject of such fascinating interest to

Clarke" THE Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes" and others. has been lectur-
ing in the United States. He has been
more or less entertained by clubs, and
at all these functions he has been asked
by some enthusiastic admirer whether
or no he did not intend, at some fu-
ture day, to resurrect Sherlock Holmes
So persistent were these inquiries that
at last he has been compelled ito de-
fine his position" He has declared
that Sherlock Holmes will not be res
directed, and frankly says that if he
had not killed Holmes, Holmes would
have killed him. That is probably
true. But be it true or not, certain it
is that to attempt to resurrect Holmes

"A SUBSTITUTE FOR BouNTsEs.,


we give place to a communication on
the subject of encouragement to home
industries, which will be found in an
other part of this paper. The plan of
giving bonuses to encourage the start
ing of important enterprises suggested
by our correspondent is good in princi-
pie We fear it would not be found to
work wei in practice.
1t is not explained whether the one
tenth OF official incomes in the county
IS to be donated Voluntarily or exacsed
by law. If the first, we fear the fund
WoUld turn out to be small. If the lat
ter, we see no reason why county
officials should be compelled to give up
portion of their earnings to promote
either a pubic or private enterprise,
more than any other class of officials
or private citizens.
Any voluntary association of men I'M
der the financial arrangement sug-
gested and for the purpose proposed
would be lawful and productive of as
good results as though they were a
body of county or other officials. If
societies of that kind could be organ
lied they would do much, no doubt,
towards the promotion of home indus
tries and thus bring about the general
welfare, whether the investment would
prove personally profitable to the in
vestors or not
But to require every county official
to relinquish portion of his salary to
start home industries, would be open
20 a similar objection to that which is
urged against the bounty system.
There would be an element of injustice
in it and a touch of paterna.ism in gov
eminent which is foreign to our free
institutions. Every man IS entitled to
the control of what he earns legitimate
~, whether payment is made by pri-
vate person or corporation or comes out
of the public funds No one has the
right to compel the use of any part of
it in any specified direction. The liberty
OF tine citizen in this respect must not
be infringed.
The bounty system has this injustice
and oppression in it: People who pay
taxes for the support of the govern
ment, whether it be local or national,
are compelled to contribute to a pri-
vate enterprise from which they receive
no personal benefit, when the money
thus collected for a public purpose is
put to a private use. 1t is perversion
Of the taxing power 1t is a prostitu-
ton of the legislative authority IT is not
warranted by any constitutional pro-
vision.
Our correspondent is opposed to the
bounty system, but proposes something
which partakes of the same nature
though it would work in a different
way. Such a rule would not be of gen.
eral application but would operate
upon one class in quite as unjust
manner as the bounty system does
upon the general pubiic.
We would be pleased to see organiza-
tons for the purpose of starting and
encouraging home industries. But they
must be voluntary in their nature.
And they need not be limited to pub
lie officials nor to any one class Of citi-
zens. The end our correspondent has
in view is good; the means he suggests,
we fear would prove abortive.. But we
are pleased to give place to the views
of people who think, and hope his letter.
will receive due consideration.
