The GAME OF GAMES

For thousands and thousands of lovers
of the thrilling and strenuous game of
football, tomorrow is to be the most fate
full day in all the year. 1t is the day Of
the great annual football contest between
the universities Of Wisconsin and Min
nesota which this year, at least, cor
responds in the west to the game between
Harvard and Yale in the east. Michigan
may be as strong or stronger than the
winner of tomorrow's game, but no ar
rangements have been made for a game
between the eleven of that university and
the victor at Madison. Hence it is a
plain statement of fact to assert that to-
morrows game will be the greatest in all
the west this year. Both elevens are
everywhere admitted to be stronger than
any of the other western elevens, barring
Michigan, and players and lovers of the
game alike are prepared to hail the con-
queror at Madison as having the best
claim to be the champion eleven of the
west.
To the reward of championship there is
added the incentive Of vehement rivalry
between the two. universities and the de-
sire of each to wipe out some old scores.
Eleven games have the two institutions
played since and including the first, in
1890. Six of these are to the credit Of
Minnesota and FIVE add luster to Wiscon-
sins record. But during recent years
Wisconsin has gathered in most of the
laurels and Minnesota's victory of last
year, though earned, was won by a
scratch. So Minnesota desires to win to-
morrow and win so emphatically as to
leave no detracting "ifs'' behind for foot
ball critics to magnify. Both elevens
have proved vastly superior to any team
they have met this year, both are fine
form, and both know the game as well
as it is known anywhere; both may be
weakened by the barring of players at
the last moment
II reports from Madison are to be be-
lieved, at least $4,000 people will see the
great game, and of these not less than
1000 will have come from Minnesota. In
the presence of such a multitude, and
spurred on by the trained cheering of vast
choruses Of "rooters." each player is sure
to do his best in game which means hu-
initiation and grief for the defeated, pride
and Joy for the victor.

Four years ago the lumbermen of the
white pine region had the support of many
local business men in other lines and
practically opposition from none in their
demand for a high tariff on lumber. Just
now that tariff is in danger and the lum-
bermen will not only miss some of the
support which they enjoyed before, but
they will have active opposition from
business men representing important and
growing interests which demand freer
that freer trade cannot be secured with
out reasonable concessions on our part.
The most important concession which Can
ada will demand will be a lower lumber
tariff or free trade in lumber. And this
community will not by any means be
unanimous in favor of maintaining the
unnecessarily high tariff in favor of an
industry which from now on is destined to
be OF lessening Importance from year to
year to this community while local manu-
facturers and 1obbers are looking forward
to an important and growing trade with
the rapidly developing Canadian north
west. Where important interests conflict
as they are sure to do in this matter of
Canadian commercial relations, it would
seem to be desirable that representatives
of these different kinds of business get to-
gether with view to harmonizing these
interests as far as possible.

A TURN AT CORPORATE COMBINES

1t is reported from Washington that the
department Of Justice has been instructed
to proceed against certain consolidated
corporations who have abused their priv
ileges by overcapitalization and in other
ways.
Under the existing antitrust law the
act OF monopolizing and engrossing trade
between the states is made penal Of
fense. This law put stop to competing
corporations making agreements for the
restraint of trade and putting their stock
in trust as a guarantee for the execution
of their contracts. Combinations, since
the passage of that law can only be made
by merging many corporations into one
by purchase. Under this law the traffic
associations of the railway trusts have
been dissolved. The old trust has ceased
to exist. The process Of merging corpora
tions into one has been going on diligently
and whatever the government does against
such combinations it must do under COM
mon law provisions against monopolies
conflicting with the public good. The re-
publican proposition for an amendment to
the federal constitution giving the gov
ernment power to define, regulate, and
prohibit and dissolve trusts and combina-
tions or monopolies, was defeated in the
house by the democrats and populists, who
did not want regulation but the extinction
of combinations. The position of the re-
publican party is clearly defined in the
Philadelphia platform which recognized
the necessity and propriety of the honest
CO. operation of capital to meet the new
conditions, but condemned "all conspira
cies and combinations intended to restrict
business, to create monopolies to limit
production or to control prices" favoring
legislative restraint and prevention of
abuses, the protection and promotion of
competition and securing the rights of
labor in all branches. The republican
party will stand by this benif1cent policy.
In his admirable address before the Mer-
chants club of Chicago on this subject
| the other day. Mr.. James B. Dill, one of
New York's most distinguished lawyers,
said as to national legislation:
The question is national in extent and
breadth 1t can only be dealt with by legisla-
tion equally as broad, that is, national legis-
lation.
The objection to national legislation is sug-
gested that it would be unconstitutional The
supreme court of the United States found its
way out Of the same difficulty when suggested
in the case Of the national banking act. It
might be said in the present case that the
public welfare more urgently required ma
tional corporation act than the same public
welfare required a national banking act To
say nothing OF the commercial interests of
this country, the financial interests are to-day
interested 70 a larger extent in industrial Sc
curities than in banking when the national
banking act was passed.
He rightly insisted that the great ques-
tion to-day was not how combinations can
be annihilated, but how they may be best
utilized and controlled for the good of the
entire country. Annihilation of business
process which is essential to changed
business conditions, because it is charge
able with some preventible abuses, is the
counsel Of fools.

replied that in their wild state dogs used it

Veloped into a system of etiquette, and re-
ferred his son to Robert Louis Stevenson s

HUNTING DEER; KILLING MEN

The annual deer hunt and man slaugh-
ter is now. we'll under way. Day before
yesterday a Minneapolis young man was
yesterday poor farmer was killed on the
seat of his wagon, near Ashland, Wis,
and the statisticians of Milwaukee papers
report that in the first three days OF
the open season in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan the dead number seven and the
wounded sixteen.
This frightful slaughter and manning OF
the hunters is due to four causes: Ac-
cidental shooting, accidental dis
charge Of a gun in the hands of fellow
hunter, accidental conjunction with a
bullet discharged from a rife mile or
two away, neither riheman nor target
being in sight of each other, and to the
ways Of the fool with a gun, who, seeing
something move-he doesn't know what
shoots, and kills man.
AS long as men will hunt, the gun that
was not supposed to be loaded will claim
it's victims, and the careless handling OF
weapons will claim still others. Nothing
can be done by legislation and little by
education to reduce the number of casual
ties Of that kind. But something may
and should be done by legislation to pro-
tect men from the fool who shoots when
he sees something move, and the long
range rifle that claims it's victim far
away and out of sight. Adequate punish
ment of the fool for manslaughter and
the denial of further hunting privileges
would reduce the sum total of his blood
letting. The exclusion of the long-dis-
tance rifle from the woods would save
many more lives.
Sam Fullerton, Minnesota's state game
warden, points out that most deer are
killed within the range of buckshot, say
$50 yards 1t would, perhaps, be correct
to say too, that most deer that fall to
the hunters rifle are within 100 yards
of him when shot. return to the shot
gun or the musket seems to be the only
way to eliminate the chances for long
distance killing of men. The fancy shots
will object, but better this kind of hunt
ing than none. Hunting has already be-
come SO dangerous for the hunters that
many veterans this year elected to stay
out of the woods altogether, and settlers
dare not leave their cabins.
The man who is not willing to mature
his life insurance policy prematurely nc
longer dares enter the forests in pursuit
of big game.

A Nine-story Apartment House.

Plans have been prepared for a nine-story
apartment house to occupy the entire block
| bounded by Broadway and West End avenue,
and Seventy-eighth and Seventy-ninth streets.
1t is to be built by William Waldorf Astor
who owns the land and will cost s., 800, 600 It
will be the largest apartment house in the
city. The building will not begin until the
present twenty -one-year lease expires, which
will be next year. and the construction will
not be hurried, the intention is to have
the building ready about the time the under
ground rapid transit road is completed.
A feature Of the house will be an under
ground connection with the Seventy-ninth
street station Of the road from the interior
| court The building will be built around a
hollow court, which will take IN the entire
center Of the block. AS the land slopes from
Broadway towards West End avenue the court
will be graded in two terraces Plots Of
flowers and fountains viii decorate the ter
races. Two driveways will enter the court
from the street, one from Broadway for
carriages, and the other from West End
avenue. for wagons. The latter driveway will
be depressed so that teams on it cannot be
seen from the court or the windows Of the
building.
Some idea OF the building may be obtained
from the dimensions OF the block, 200 feet In
the streets and 2o5 feet in the avenue and
Broadway.

on a task that is impossible. We admit
that there are anatomical difficulties to
be overcome before gopher can swallow
a badger, but the gopher that will perform
the gastronomio feat in question at Madi-

strengthened, voracious and glorified
gopher with a particular weakness for
badger.
