Apparent Activity Among the

The football fever, which for the past
year or more had lain dormant in this
city, has apparently been awakened
into new life and activity. Every
afternoon stalwart young lads, clad In
all the paraphernalia of the gridiron,
can be seen passing through the streets
en- route to their practice grounds
In their practice they have found 1t
necessary to enlist the aid of the vet

cannot be had this winter.

Riley's Joke on Ha1ford.

ary work in the early seventies for the
Indianapolis Journal" under an as
received for a poem was a suit of
clothes from the late George Harding
of the Indianapolis Herald" About
1876 Riley went East and was well
coined by Holmes, Whittier and Long
fellow. The New England newspapers
made much of his visit, and when he
returned he was a hero.
II can remember" said an old Jour
naF' man the other day, when Riley,
with his smooth, boyish face, slender
figure, clad in sacerdotal garb, used to
come around the office and sit on my
desk and dash off nonsense verses in
the same copper-plate, microscopic,
handwriting that he uses to-day. 'Lige
Halford, now a Major in the United
private Secretary, was the editor, and
it used to be Riley's delight to submit
some of his most meaningless jingles
TO Halford for the editorial page. The
Major, who never had the slightest
sense of humor, spent many weary
hour trying to comprehend them.

go with this, he would say. Then a
shout of laughter from the boys would
show him that there was a joke loose

Mckinley Royalty Welcomed BY
Iowa Citizens.
Large Crowds Turn Out to Greet Him at
Ali the Stations.
The President Makes Several
Speeches, Commenting Upon the
Good Times With Which the
People Are at Present Blessed.

CEDAR FALLS Qa), Oct. 16.-The
President arose almost with the dawn
this morning, and delivered at 6:2O in
Iowa Falls the first of his series of ad-
dresses in Iowa. A good sized crowd
was present at the station. The Presi-
dent said:
My Fellow Citizens: 1t is great
advantage to meet the people early in
the morning 1t gives me genuine
pleasure to meet and greet the people
of Iowa, as / journey through the State
to look into the faces and to feel the
stimulus of their presence and the en-
couragement which I always receive as
] have mingled with them. Since
was last in the State we have added
some new territory 1t is no longer
a question of expansion with us; we
have expanded. If there is any ques-
ton at all, it is a question of contrac-
ton, and who is going to contract?
"a vOice-Not WEI
I believe. my fellow citizens, that
this territory came to us in the provi-
dence of God. We do not seek it. 1t is
ours with all the responsibilities that
belong to it; and as a great, strong,
brave nation, we mean to meet them
and we mean to carry our education
and our civilization there. I am not
one of those who would take laurel
from the brow of an American soldier,
or a jewel from the crown of American
achievements.
At Ackley. Ia. the next stop, Mr..
Mckinley spoke as follows:
My Fellow Citizens: 1 recall in
this presence my former visit to this
people, now, I believe, five years ago.
1 congratulate you upon the improved
condition of the country. When 1 was
here last we were in a condition of
business depression. Times were hard.
Fear had overcome courage. Now, all
are changed. We have general pros
perity, good crops and fair prices;
steady employment and good wages,
and we are a happy and cOntented peo-
pie. Not only are the people prosper
Gus, but the nation itself is doing we'll.
Our revenues are abundant. Interest
has fallen all over Mortgages have
been lifted. and markets are being eX-
tended. We are using more of our own
products than we ever did before. We
are importing fewer products from
abroad than we have done in many
years and we are sending more of
American products abroad than we ever
sent before. We are on a gold basis
ard we mean to stay there. General
cry of "Good')
I like the sentiment that stands for
your platform here: Sustain the ma
tons flag That is what we are doing

ing their geography, and that territory,
my fellow citizens, the President has
no power to ALLEVIATE, if he was dis
posed to do so, which he is not. The
sovereignty of the United States in the
Philippines cannot be given away by a
President. That sovereignty belongs to
the people, and SO long as it is our ter
ritory, and so long as our sovereignty
is there by right, not by right of con-
quest only, but by right of solemn
treaty, the President of the United
States has but one duty to perferm,
and that is to maintain and establish
the authority of the United States in
those islands. He could not do less
and perform his duty, and our prayers
are not only going out to the boys in

means and more sineWs of war will
