A Diagnosis OF Foot Ball.
Columbus Press

Feet ball is played with both feet.
1t is the American national game
from frost to turkey time. After
that the coroner takes charge and the
sport is allowed to lapse into inno-
cuous desuetude until another autumn
has produced another crop of kickers.
Feet ball is so called from seasons
too obvious to require calculation.
Some etymologists give the word as
'foot ball, but the best authorities
prefer the plural designation as rep
resenting a broader significance and
more feet. The game Is said to be
derived from period coincident with
the siege Of Troy, when Achilles hit
Agamemnon a belt in the COB and
was kicked in the stomach for his
presumption. After that both elev-
ems got together and Homer wrote the
Iliad. The essential characteristic
OF feet ball is gladiatorial. The
young men who are best adapted to
it are long on hair and short on
brains. Those who go into it well
equippep in both usuoily leave the
latter on the field Feet ball sees
the old Hebraic law and goes it one
better. 1t enlarges upon the doctrine,
San eye for an eye and tooth for
tooth" taking two ears and slab
OF cheek for an eye and giving a
whole dentists shop for tooth.
Persons who play the game habit
ually usually die in doing it. They
pass away happy, however. This
is one reason why we part with them
without regret.

WHAT THEY DID.
The Full Minutes of the Geolog
iCal Committee.
Prof. Johnston Relieved Very queer
Looking Expense aecount-Minor Or
ders and Determinations.

Proceedings of the second meeting
of the State Geological Survey
which met here on December lst
Meeting called to order by its
president, Gov. 6. w. Atkinson,
members present, G. W. Atkinson,
NJ. A. Kendall, DR. j. H. Raymond,
and S. w. Atkinson Absent, James
FL. Stewart.
In view of the proposition Of the
u. S. Geological Survey read to the
commission by the State Geologist
be it
Ordered that Prof j. L. Johnston
be and is hereby relieved from SER
vice as assistant geologist and from
the duty of establishing and mark
ing the true meridian lines of the
various county seats of the state,
and that the State Geologist, be and
is hereby authorized to accept the
proposition of,theU. Is. Geological sur
yey to establish and mark such lines
on the best terms obtainable.
It was ordered that the salary of
DIR. White, state geologist begin
Jan. l, 1898. This is $4,000 per year.
Ordered that the salary of Prof.
s. B. Brown as an assistant geologist
and curator of the collections begin
Oct. 1st, 1897. This is $3.50.
Prot. T c. Atkeson rendered his
resignation as secretary of the COM
mission which on motion was ae-
cepted.
President Raymond was elected
Secretary to serve without salary.
$3.50 was ordered paid for two
record books purchased by Prof.
Atkeson.
Then the next motion created the
ly breeze which ruffied the serenity
the meeting. The law provides
that the members shall receive only
heir actual expenses incurred while
on business connected with the COM
mission. The motion was to the eff
! feet that the law should be strictly
complied with. 1t was made neces-
eary by the fact that some of the
members travel on passes and yet put
in their bill for full railroad fare
which is plain violation of the stat
ute.
The motion was lost, DR.. Raymond
and Gov. Atkinson voting aye, and
Messrs. Kendall and S. w. Atkinson
no. A very significant fact can be
seen in comparing the bill of the gov
ernor with the state treasurer. 1t
may be stated that each travel on
pass and that the expenses of each
should be within a few cents of that
incurred by the other. Gov. Atkin-
sons expense account was for 1913,
while that Of Mr.. Kendall was 1928. TO-
This shows that the treasurer is
opposed to the law $15.72 worth.
The matter will be brought up at
the next meeting and it is to be
hoped that this form of stealing will
be stopped.
On motion it was ordered the
form size, issue of publications shall
be left to the decision of a commit
tee composed Of the State geologist
and the executive officer.

A Remarkable Cnse.

The case of Theodore Durrant. the med
ical student who was found guilty OF the
murder of two young girls in San Francis
co more than two years ago, is a remarka-
bic one, chiefly because of the extraordl-
nary efforts which have been made in his
behalf. He has always been very persis-
tent in the assertion of his innocence, and
doubtless a good many people who have
followed his case closely believe him in
nocent, Notwithstanding the fact that the
evidence fully justified the verdict against
him
When the jury rendered its verdict 1t
was thought that he would very soon pay
the penalty of his crime, but the execution
Of the death sentence was delayed from
time to time by appeals to the higher
courts. The case finally reached the Uni
ted States supreme court on technical
ity, and that tribunal decided last Tues
day that 1t had no authority to prevent the
carrying into effect the judgment of the
California court. 1t was then generally
agreed that Durrant had reached the end
of his resources, and that it was only
question of two or three days when he
however, that he is not to hang yet
awhile. His lawyers discovered another
technicality on which they succeeded in
having the execution delayed for two
months. In the meantime other technical
tiles may be found and other delays secur-
ed. 1t is within the bounds of POSSIBLE
ity that Durrant may never be hanged,
not because OF the discovery of new evil
dence showing him to be innocent, but
because of legal obstacles thrown in the
way of carrying out the sentence of the
court.
This case shows in a marked manner
how justice may be delayed and even
defeated by technical quibbling and petit
Jogging practices of sharp attorneys. Is
1t to be wondered at that the people some
times lose patience with courts and resort
to lynch law to secure justice?

CharIeston,s Endorsement.

Charleston's Chamber of Commerce has
Endorsed the action of the American Pub
lie Health Association, which was in SEES
sion recently in Philadelphia. relative to
sending a commission to Havana to study
the cause of and find a remedy, If posi-
BILE, for yellow fever. The resolution which
the American Health Association adopted
provides for a committee to can upon the
President and urge him to recommend an
appropriation for a yellow fever investi-
eating commission.
If we keep on investigating we shah find
out something about yellow fever, in all
probability in the course of time. A vast
amount Of investigation has already been
done, and yet we know nothing about the
cause of the fever nor have we a remedy
for it, 1t doesn't follow, however, that
we shall know no more about it than we
do now, however much we may investigate
it. 1t is true that DR.. Guiteras, the gov
ernment's yellow fever expert, doesn't
give Psychologists much encourage
ment--the American Health Association
| wants psychologists sent 20 Havana
since he says that the blood of a yellow
fever patient doesn't differ. as far as can
! be observed, from the blood of healthy
person; still a commission of bacteriol-
| ogists might discover something of inter

have a commission by all means. Yellow
fever is such an evil that no expense
should be spared in trying to find the

1t is a well known fact that gold exists
in small quantities in the water of the
ocean. A company with $10,OOo,0OO capital
stock has been incorporated in Massachu-
sets, for the purpose of extracting gold
from sea water by electric process. The
projectors of the scheme say they expect
to make dividends which will surpass
those of the Standard Oil Company. There
is this to be said for the scheme; if the
experlmenters cannot get gold in paying
quantities from sea water, they can get
salt, and there is a large market for that
commodity.

A bill to provide for co-edueation in the
states college for colored persons has
been introduced in the legislature. There
appears to be no good reason why it
should not be favorably acted upon. if the
bin to provide for co-education in the uni
versity should be passed. In this matter
may be seen the advantages that are be-
ing enjoyed by the colored people. 1t has
taken hundreds of years to work up to
the point of co-education for white people,
but the blacks may reach that point with
in little more than thirty years from
their emancipation.
