Reid Is a strong believer in team work

one or two players of stellar qualities

1t Is interesting to glance at the
names of the coaches Of the leading
colleges and to recall the circumstances
under which they became known to
pigSkn chasers. Alonzo A. Stage, or
Lonnie. as the University Of Chicago
expert is better known, is a master
hand at developing football candidates
and at intoxicating the principles Of
team play in the heads Of overanXiou3
moleskin wearers. Stagg is Yale
graduate and his playing will never be
forgotten by those who saw him in the
games Of 1858 and 1859. He was n
teammate of Heifelfnger and Gill and.
with them, was given position on the
All America team of the latter year.
Stagg is known as the original pro-
fessor of athletics" having received
that degree from the Winay City insti-
tuition, whose athletic destinies he con-
trolls. Phil King, football director at
the University of Michigan. was one
of the greatest players ever sent out OF
Princeton. He was one of the founders
of the principles which have for many
years governed football affairs in the
New Jersey university. King held a
notch on the All America team of 1891,
as also did Romans and Riggs Of
Princeton. In that year Hinkey start
ed his memorable career on the Yale
eleven. playing with McClung, Josh
Hartwell Winter and Heffefinger.
Princeton has a staff of splendid
coaches for this year. Addison Kelly,
better known as king" Kelly, who, with
Billy Barnard. played the half back
positions in 1886 and 1897; Langdon

GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the world
are those suffering from dyspepsia and
liver complaint. More than seventy-five
per cent, OF the people in the United
States are afflicted with these two dis.
eases and their effects; such as sour
stomach, sick headache, habitual cos
tiveness, palpitation of the heart, heart
burn, waterbrash, gnawing and burning
pains at the pit OF the stomach, yellow
skin, coated tongue and disagreeable
taste in the mouth, coming up OF food
after eating, low spirits, etc. Go to

A PATRIOTIC SPEECH.

1t is impossible for stream to
rise above its source, but it is not
impossible for a president to rise
above his party. Many a man has
been Of the opinion, that, although
President Mckinley lacked back
bone-lacked the stuff of which
reformers are made-he is infinite
ly better than his party. Had he
the courage Of his convictions and
the ability to impress these con-
victions upon others; in short, if
he had the decision and energy of
jackson or even Cleveland, he
would have made an ideal presi-
dent. AS it is, although his judg-
ment is good, and his motives
patriotic, he lacks execution.

can exposition at Buffalo last

being struck down by the bullet of
a cowardly assassin was a model

CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH.

CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH.
A corporation charter authoriz.
ing $350,000,O00 of bonds, $780,
100000 of preferred stock and
100000, 900 of common stock, all
for the purpose of creating q
monopoly in the iron and steel
manufactures of the United States,
should be repealed by the legis-
lature of the state which created it.
That such a gigantic monopoly
should be created or allowed by
any state is a grevious wrong done
to 100000 of people. All gain

ton Ola a large scale is more than
overcome by the evil of giving
power to the monopolies to fix
any price on the product to the
customer which they choose to
exact, and any rate of wages to
their workmen which they choose
to force upon their helpless
victims. The increased profits
will only go to swell the enormous
fortunes of the multi-millionaires,
whose enormous wealth already
enables them to organize a 81, $780,

such overgrown monopoly has

1t was unusually clear and to the
point. It is a speech which might
have come from the lips of q
conservative leader of the party
opposed to the republican adj
ministration. From start to finish
it was a dignified but severe re-
buke to the action of the last con-
gress, and the positions taken and
now occupied by a large majority
of the republican party leaders.
Every position taken by tho
president in this remarkable
speech, on the tariff, reciprocity,
commerce, and the extension of
our lines of merchant marine, are
the exact positions which the
leading papers of the democratic
party have occupied and defended
time after time during the last
year. Revision of the tariff, reci-
procity, foreign friendship, new
lines of steamships to definite
points of South America and the
far east, are subjects which the
democratic press has discussed
along the identical lines laid down
by the president in his speech of
last Thursday.
On tariff revision he was suf1i-
GENTLY clear. In the interpreted
ton the following a wayfaring
man, though a fool, cannot err.
"The period of exelus,veness is past.

II, perchance, some of our tariffs are no
longer needed for revenue or to encour-
age and protect our industries at home,

What will the party do with
these Questions so prominently
brought out by the president?
Will the senate in its omnipotence
turn down the reciprocity idea as
it did last winter? Will the
house still kneel before the
Dingley schedule in blind wor-
ship? If Mckinley was able to
impress his policy upon his party
but he isn't, and that party will
go on in the same old way regard
less of "plain duty" sentiments, or
benevolent assimilation declara-
tons.
