ANOTHER PRoH1H1roRY LAW.

There is a vehement cry going up
from some Of the papers of the state
for law prohibiting the game of foot
ball in Kansas. The claim is that foot
ball kills more, crfpples and Injuries
for life a greater number of young
men than Spirituous liquors. One pa
per gives a table of fatalities and per-
manent injuries inflicted. That the
game is rough one none VIII deny.
That as played it is generally brutal
there is little question Still, played
temporarily, it is a manly game Like
liquors, the danger in the sport is in
its intemDerance. The so-called ring
fights of pugilists are not nearly so
dangerous The boxing bruiser is not
struck below the belt, and his fists are
encased in gloves constructed TO pro-
tect from any permanent injury the
man who is hit. PriZefghters are
seldom really hurt. Having exhausted
themselves by their lively work it
takes little to knock them over in the
end. They are generally good as new
in an hour or two. Not so with the
victim Of football where a dozen set
Systematically about crushing one. Ed
ucational institutions and teachers, as
are most preachers, are admirers and
supporters of the football game. Yet,
if the principal of interfering with in
dividuaI habits and tastes is correct,
then a prohibition law applied to foot
ball could not be wrong. Still we sus-
pect that the educational institutions,
their professors. scholars and teach
ers. will be found with the Eagle, OPP
posing prohibition, when it comes TO
football, Notwithstanding the fatalities
which marks the trail of the game. We
have no objection TO reasonably regu-
lating il. but against all attempts TO
destroy it by legislation. And unlike
the whisky or tobacco habit football
could be effectually wiped out, even
if pugilism cannot be. Publicity Is
one of the essentials 10 the life of the
game and any law prohibiting it will
have to be Obeyed, and as Kansas is
given TO regulating everything by stat
utory law. an enactment prohibiting
football and like games will not sur
nriSe us.

CONGRESS AND ITS DISCRETION.

Whatever may have been the con-
flictS or desires or purpose which re-
suited in the framing of the resolution
adopted by the statehood convention at
Oklahoma, the resolution itself must
be said TO he a good one.
This resolution earnestly urges upon
the congress of the United States Eat
its present session to pass an enabling
act providing for the admission of Ok
lahoma as state with such boundaries
as in the wisdom of congress will best
subserve the cause of good govern
ment."
Against this resolution another was
placed asking for statehood for Okla
homa and the Indian Territory. The
first resolution carried by small ma
jority item, which would indicate that
nearly half the people in Oklahoma
were in favor of taking the Indian
Territory into the Union with Okla
homa. If delegates from the Indian
country had been admitted to the
statehood convention, as in former con-
the matter would have gone.
But that is neither here nor there.
The important matter is the question
as to how the congress will regard this
resolution adopted.
AT first glance it seems that the reso-
luton leaving so much to the congress
will strike the congress favora bly,.
Many congressman are known TO be in
favor of admitting Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory into the Union as one
state. and so the Oklahoma people who
favor that idea will not be without
champions in congress. AT the same
time when the matter comes up for dis
cussion and the lines are drawn in con-
gresS between double and single state
hood on the floor, the Indian difficulty,
which IS thoroughly ventilated by the
Dawes commission, will play an i'm
portant part. While the Dawes COM
mission advises n territorial form of
government for the Indians, the con-
greSS may decide tn have done with
the whole Indian problem by throwing
state lines around them and letting
allotment proceed. or 10 arrange some
plan by which the Indian countries
may be annexed to the state of Okla
homa as fast as they become capable
or worthy of state form of govern
ment
But whatever congress may do or
may not do, the resolutions are sensi-
bic. 1t leaves congress to its own
discretion as 10 boundaries, and its
own discretion is what congress would
have used, anyhow, regardless of reso-
lutions.

them. this money-sphynx who poses as
the great thoroughbred financial mas
ter of the age, inadvertently. no doubt
forgot what he was there for. True
there was much about countries OF
which we know little and care less and
of a monetary policy in general way.
bur twenty columns more or less were
waded through by the people in a vain
search for something of the present in
dustrial outlook and of the actual con-
ditiOn of the treasury. There was
not n word of that about which the
entire country is talking, the revenues
of the government. Mr.. Cleveland not
only failed to make any recommends
tons to congress as TO any possible
remedial legislation which might lift
Us out of the soup. but he did not even
hint that there was any necessity for
such action. In a wonderfully wise
way he suggested the necessity for
destroying some three hundred and
fifty millions of currency, but failed
TO show how such course was going
TO help the country. Take, for in
stance. the presidents declaration that
the borrowing of gold was alone made
necessary by the demand for the re-
demption of greenbacks, and we per-
ceive at once the serious situation con-
fronting the secretary in making his
report The president emphasizes this
declaration. and pins it to the wall, by
stating that despite the SIS, 100000 of
borrowed gold, there is now in the
treasury of surplus of SOS, 900. The
logical result Of these two statements
is that the government only required
sS4. 100000 How is Secretary Car
Isle going to meet this deduction? The
fact is that from March 4, 1893, to De
cember 1, 1895, the expenses of the
government have exceeded its revenues
by 1927 .927.254. and that to make pro-
visions against further increase Of
deficit the administration borrowed
S1S2. 100000 in gold by the issue and
sale of interest-bearing bonds. This
makes the real indebtedness of the
government more than S300.OO0.O00.
If the presidents statements were
true it would be natural TO inquire why
the administration borrowed S9S.O00.-
coo more than the government needed?
Still. that inquiry would be foolish. in
view Of the daily increasing deficit Of
the government. which is well known
to every intelligent business man in
the country.
Speak up. Mr.. Secretary. It is your
turn. and the people want further light
on the situation.
