New York, Nov. I8-Senator Hanna,

today:
"The battle is over and we have won.
The result is all right. do not wish to
discuss the reports of differences between
Republicans there. 1t is going to be all
right. The sound money Democrats
we're heartily IN accord with US. We
carried the state for the first time in an

issue is getting worn out, and Democrat

like Boise of Iowa, don't hesitate to say
SO. Fiat paper money will take the place
of silver as an issue"

SCORES FOOTBALL.

The President of the State Farmers College
| Expresses an Adverse Opinion.
Under the title of "The Educational
Outlook" DR.. Aston Ellis, of the State
Agricultural school, delivered a scatbing
rebuke to football before small crowd
at the horticultural convention yesterday.
He said in part:
:" am a believer that those who are the
recipients OF school and college educa-
ton should be able to earn their own
bread by the sweat of their brow. Pa
rents, you are doing your children an ir.
reparable injury by giving them to un.
derstand that they are to get through the
world by not working, if possible. We
should not shun labor, but rather dig.
nifty it.
"In the pursuit of pleasures there are
three kinds that are harmful, those that
will take US into idleness those which
brutalize, those that are at the expense OF
other people. We have today pleasure
in this country which takes up the time
of good men and good women. I speak
/ Iot foot ball, which is the bane of college
life, which is demoralizing the public
school life. 1t is going down kinder
gartenward. They used to tell US that
all work and no play makes Jack dull
Eboy. say that all play and no work
makes Jack Ounce. l say that foot ball
is not conductive to physical vigor. The
game is demoralizing. The boys and
| girls who are sent to acquire an educa-
ton are forced by the college spirit to
60 down into their pockets for money
that is not their own, to pay some bruiser
to train the team.
| God save the mark-it we are to Cul-
tivate the manliness that is found on the
football gridiron. Football cultivates in
decency. What do you say to twenty or
thirty young men IN the dressing room
standing around as naked as the day they
were born. talking together in an uncon-
cerned manner2 l may be squeamish
about this, but | would hate to make such
an exhibition of myself before a settle
ment OF prairie dogs.
II know of cases at the college to which
am attached which show what manli
ness football inculcates in its devotees.
One boy was supported by his sister,
who taught in a public school to keep
him at college and his widowed mother
i at home. She wrote me, told me what
sacrifices she was making. and suggested
that he soon would be able to at least
support himself if not aid them. At that
time he was just through week of idle
ness recovering from injuries inflicted
during the progress of football match.
There was an exhibition of manliness
from football .
In closing DR.. Ellis took occasion to
parucularize in reference to Boulder and
condemned the idea of spending SO much
money as it was reported the state insti-
tuition was spending in supporting the
game He also, in scathing terms, de
nounced the Y. Nj. c. A. and its tendency
toward sporting p1oclivities and finally
touching upon the West Denver High
school incident of last Saturday conclud
ed with a general denunciation that in
cluded everything and everybody.
