For the Forum or Football.

To THE Enron OF THE sUS-Sfr: In the football
column of to.day's Sun l read with pleasure that
'the members Of the Rules had a long
discussion last year about changing the present
method OF scoring points"
IwIll not discuss the advisability OF making the
proposed change, but | wish to call your attention to
another change which might be made. 1t has always
seemed to me an Injustice that a goal from n touch.
down should count two.
Football is a team contest rather than a contest Of
individuals. 1t Is n game in which eleven men work
together as one. instead Of one In which each man is
expected TO do brilliant individual work. The true
test OF an clevsn'S strength Is in their ability 10 cross
their opponents goal line. hfter the team has
worked together ami accomplished this object IL
seems Inconsistent that All individual player should
be chosen u kick a goal which counts half AZ much
as the touchdown. Many games won by tho eleven
aa lost by the individual.
In this falls Yale. Brown game the elevens played n
tie. while, under the present system OF scoring.
Browns goal kicker lost III" game. such conditions
are Justly discourncing 10 the men who have done
their part In carrying the ball across the line. Is not
this worthy or discussion. at least. by the ri"mhrrs OF
the next Rules Committee? j. A. TOWNSEND.

Governor BLACK has appraised him, or rather
has endeavored to apprise him through a

they preferred his personality. but because they be-
lieved that by so voting they were Joining the side

When Mr.. ANpREE went to the Geo.

half years ago to explain his project of
crossing the north polar area in a balloon
he found many g~eographers shaking their
heads obviously over NANsEN's expedition
and expressing their fear that he would
never be seen again. ANDREE was the one
confident person in that distinguished
gathering. 81 know NANsEN," he said,

He may not be able to extricate his vessel
from the ice but he is very cautious as

Some time before the election the Public

Some time before the election the Public
School Board OF Columbia, Mo-, decided that
the pupils in the schools of that town should
pronounce the name OF their State as
"Miz.zou-ry." sounding distinctly the ~"
and not as "Mis-soo-ri," Mis.soo-ree,"
or "Mis-soo-rah." Whereupon war broke
out between tho radicals and tho con-
servatives. and perhaps it was lucky for the
peace OF the State that the election excitements
overwhelmed for a time the fury Of the fray.
The war is sure to be renewed. and the issue is
doubtful. Appeal to pronouncing dictionaries
and gazetteers is useless. 1t is for the Nilsson
rians themselves to pronounce themselves, and
until an act Of the Legislature fixes their
pronunciation the fight is free. The Hon.
GEORGE GRAHAM VEST says "Misoori.' but falls
back rather weakly on the Indians and tho
gazettcers. The Hon. CHAMP CLARK writes to
the Kansas City Times that the name Of this
imperial commonwealth should be pronounced
'Mizzoury.'" Governor Lon v. STEPHENS COM

What the Chicago Platform Won.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Bangor
Daily Ne,cs, shows here too great absorb
ton in the elections figures to be politi-
cally helpful to it's friend the public:
Organism gained no victory in Tuesday - election"
Bryanism gained one i~ndisputable victory,
tho importance Of which will be revealed
later. 1t compelled the Courier.Journal,
the leader and head centre Of the National
Democrats, who had undertaken to defeat
the Chicago platform without Joining hands
with the Republicans, to give up the fight,
and It thereby revealed how light were the
convictions OF these so-called honest money
Democrats, who now return to the Demo-
cratic fold prepared to bow to the Chicago
platform or to It's successor, however ex-
travagant. This particular triumph Of
Bryanism in Kentucky will extend through
out the country.
In the wiping out Of the National Demo-
cratic faction there is compensation for
Republicans also. Not every member Of
1t will yield, like the Courier.Journal.
honest money will cling to the ideas
for which they fought in 1895, and reso-
lutely abandon the name for which the
Democrats fought who now submit to
the representatives of Organism. They
will be Republicans in name as we'll as in
fact, and, so long as the Democracy Is what
1t is, they will follow the fortunes Of the
Republican party.
And when it comes to discussion Of the
essential principles of Jeffersonian equality
and government, the Republicans will be
the ones to hold up their heads in pride at
being it's defenders, while the Democrats
who have reGnlisted In the service Of the
sinister communistic army born at Chicago
will drop their heads in shame.

The Sheriff ana the Kaiser.

The coming Sheriff, DUNN, the successor
OF the passing Sheriff, DAMsEN, has been
enabled to learn before taking office the
relation Of himself as he will be to for
eign princes and ~potentates. an evasion of
which has called for an official commu-
nicatIon from the Hon. FRANK S. BLACK.
In the month of May last the good ship
"Schleswig" was on the high seas, having
cleared from Hamburg, bound for New
York. On board was a Ho,stein Dane per-
forming the labors of cook. The dietary
on Scandinavian ships Is solid and whole
some, but not usually elaborate, and one
article on the bill OF fare is soup. The Ho!-
stein cook, whether under stress of pleasur-
able expectations of a visit to the New
World. whether besct by the effects of a
storm at sea. or whether on account Of the
traditional clumsiness of peasants from
some portions of Holstein, fell, az the col.

character urgently demanding the atten.

nine torpedo boats. These last, It appears,
are to be increased by nine from Germany.
Our conclusion is that, while Japan has
recently made splendid additions to her
fleet, she still ranks decidedly below us as
a naval power. tSave for the few battle
ships she has acquired lately, she could not
rank anywhere near us. We still excel
her both in battleships and cruisers and
are likely soon to equal or surpass her In tor
pedo boats. Yet in the Pacific she has an
advantage In that the greater part OF our
navy is on the Atlantic. Happily u re.
lations with her cannot be called strained.
She knows we are going to annex Ha.
wall, and that we want nothing else In the
Pacific, so that II some day she should de-
sire to buy the Philippines or the Caro-,
lines, 1t would be no affair of ours.

There are few countries in which travellers
now require passports in order to promote their
convenience and security. In Brazil and venez-
uela a passport must be shown to the officials
before one Is allowed to leave the country for a
foreign port. This is "A vexatious measure, en-
forced apparently for the sake of enabling a few
officials to collect small fees. In Cuba passports
are produced whenever travellers arrive or de-
part. This precaution is considered necessary
in view OF the political condition of unrest pre-.
vailing in the island.
In Russia passport regulations arc enforced

to enter the empire until he has obtained n pass

G~rou.dAor Day in . Rev Jersey Township

BLAIRsTowN. Nov. 5.-Yesterday was annual
grounding day in Frelinghuysen township. and
everybody near and far took a vacation and
presented themselves to the Township Commit
tee, which met at the Warrenwood Hotel In
Marksboro. The country folks came by wagon.
on foot. and on bikes, and it was O most anus
ing sight to witness the bundles they brought
with them; all sizes and shapes; and one OLD
was a century old, and which contained 200
grounding scalps, all carefully packed and we'll
cured.
The Township Committee offered SO cent?
bounty on oil groundhogs,. and IL cents for all
fox scalps. This was a big incentive to tho
country folk, and for a whole year they have
set traps and hunted the pestiferous hog and
the Notwithstanding fox with great success.
