burg, Here Next Saturday.
BETHANY, w. Va, November 49,
Hard practice was INDUCED in by the
varsity" yesterday afternoon. Every
regular man was in line with the ex-
ception of w. Edwards and Soffel who
are still on the hospital list. After an
hour of good hard practice and signal
work the regulars were lined up against
the scrubs for short half. Every man
showed up in fine form and the inter
ference worked without hitch. How
ever the scrubs played fierce game and
the regulars only scored two touch
downs.
The East End Athletic Club of Pitts
burg is without doubt the strongest
foot ball aggregation that has been seen
in; Wheeling for several years. They
have made a fine record this year SO
far. They defeated the crack Pittsburg
College team, formerly Pittsburg Col
lege of the Holy Ghost, by score OF
% to 0, this season, thus placing them
in the front rank of foot ball teams in
the estimation of the many Wheeling
admirers of Pittsburg College.
East End plays the old Princeton
style of game and they play itfast and
furious. Bethany plays the old Z. OF
P. guards back formation. and it never
fails TO make gain, even through the
formidable line of the crack w. & j.
team.
Displaying as it does the two stand
ard styles of foot ball, Saturdays con-
test will be well worth seeing by those
who take an interest in the game and
wish, TO see it played in the manner
that has made it such popular sport.

popular VIII. 1t is curious state Of af-
fairs, ana likely in the near future to be
the subject of much discussion, especially
when contrasted with the more flexible
Government Of England.
An interesting chapter is that devoted
to tho boss" who is here regarded from
en- unethical point of view, merely as a
historical phenomenon He is, unques-
tionably. fhe representative political lead
er OF the American party system. The
author frankly recognizes the facSzshat the
boss is irresponsible, as his party is in
the main: and he asks the question which a
great many intelligent Americans are ask
ing today:
What may be done to make both the party
and the boss responsible?
The career of Walpole and the reforms
which have been effected in English gov
eminent are reviewed in this connection,
and the review concludes with this signif-
cant paragraph:
This short sketch of the development of the
English premier shows, then, that the office
originated during one of the most corrupt periods
of English political history, that its growth was
due in large part to this corruption, and was re-
garded with the greatest hostility by the English
people-so great, indeed, that the man who more
been regarded as one of the most corrupt OF Eng
fish Statesmen, far as concerns the means which
he used, Indignantly denied that he was Ff1me
Minister. After his fall the attempt was made to
get on without the Office but by the very force OF
circumstances the English had TO acknowledge
that Walpole's main idea was right, and set TO
work not TO destroy the boss-for that is what the
Prime Minister is-but to make hiia responsible.
and having accomplished that purpose now regard
the regenerated and responsible boss as an indis-
pensabe factor in modern parliamentary govern
ment. What in the time If Walpole had
TO be done by stealth and in an untieihand manner
may now be done in the open aid through the
exercise Of acknowledged power.
This statement of one of the most i'm
portant facts in English political history in
the present century is worth the consid-
Grafton of all students Of public affairs. In
regard TO the question of making the
American boss responsible, however, Mr..
Goodnow admits that the way which Eng
land followed is out of the question in
America. What Is to be done with our
boss, and how he is to be used or abolish
ed in the future, are matters which the
American people will have to settle for
themselves, as did the English. But in
this little book they are warned that ire
sponsible despotistn has been developed
under nominally Popular government, and
that 1t may happen again.
The book is thoroughly indexed. and will

When the Green Dance OF Summer
Goes up the mountain Glove.
There Is another dancer
Who follows it for love.
To the sound of falling water
Professional and slow

With waving branches GO
And to the wilding music
OF winds that loiter by,
BY trail, ravine. and stream-bed
Troop UP against the sky
The bending yellow birches.
The beeches cool and tall.
Sim ash and towering locust,
Ny gypsy knows them all.
And light of foot she follows.
And light OF heart gives heed,
Where in the bIne-green chasm
The wraiths OF mist are freed.
For when the young winged naples
Hang out their rosy pods,
She knows it is a message
From the primeval gods.
When tanager and cher
Show scarlet in the sun.
She slips her csreworn habit
To put their gladness on
And where the chestnuts flower
Along the mountein-side,
She, too, assumes the vesture
And beauty Of their pride
She hears the freshening music
That ushers in their day,
When from the hemlock shadows
The silver thrushes play.
When the blue meth at MONDAY
Lies breathing with his wings,
She knows what rieiying goodnote
Across the siltnc,. rings.

Spread through the misty gloom

Yelled in mesh of bloom).

Curtained by northern streamers
Upon some dark hili-erest.

And solemn bright array,
A dance OF goid-gFeen shadows
About her sleep viii play;
Her signal from the frontier:
There is no bar no- toll
Nor dearth of joy forever
To stay the gypsy soul.
