ON THE GRIDIRON
Big Stone Defeats Web
ster by a Score of
81 to o.
The Webster Boys Out-classed
Owing TO Lack of Practice X
and Proper Team Work.

The first foot ball game Of the season
in Webster was played Saturday after
noon when the Webster boys me the
husky high school team from Big Stone
at the old base ball grannds.
The weather was splendid, both for
players and for spectators, and although
ii was evident from the first that the
Webster team was ont-classed; yet the
few who were in attendance were
given q fair exhibition Of the great
national game.
The Big Stone boys were on the aver
age heavier than their opponents, and
their plays were of the quick and
snappy kind, which, together with
their excellent team work. denoted
much training and practice.
The Webster boys, on the other hand,
were hardly in condition for a hard
game, since their team-made up partly
of high school boys and partly of town
fellows, and but recently organized
had had bnt Ii.tle opportunity for prac-
tice together, az fact it may be said that
the boys who played in Saturdays game
had never all practiced togethar but
once previous to the game.
Webster has some excellent material
for a foot bail team, and while the boys
ON Saturday made some brilliant indi-
yidual plays, they showed sadly the
lack Of organized team work which Is
so essential to the winning Of games.
With the exception OF occasional
attempts at smuggling on the part OF
the visitors, il was a clean game
throughout, and onr boys have no
excuse TO make except that Big Stone
played better ball.
The o was 81 TO 0, but considering
the fact that the Big Stone team have
already played five games this fall
without yet being scored against, the
boys feel that the results were not as
bad as they might have been.
"A return game is being planned for
later in the season, and the boys hope
after more practice, to make the score
different next time.

The following is an extract Of q letter
received from Miss A. j. Dickinson
which will be Of interest to many Of N
readers.
Editor Reporter and Farmer:
Please change the address on my
paper to Eldorado Springs, Mo-, as I am
just leaving here to winter there.
My experience in California is not
such ms to lead me to locate here. /
find there is a great difference between
the tourists view of this country,
which is Published far and wide, and
the work-a-day practical view which
/ have been getting this summer
People with plenty OF Q can find
the grand, beautiful and luxurious in
this state of vast length and untold
variety. One can also, with plenty of
money, make the desert blossom as the
rose, and barren land yield abundance
Of fruit, but the poor or those with
limited means had better keep away
from California. There are many dis
appointed people ont here who have
spent their little ali and ere just max
ing ont a pitiful existance, nothing TO
go ahead with and nothing to get away
with. Compared with California,
South Dakota is a paradise for poor
men. There is a chance there for him
to grub his way up even if he does
start in a dng-out.
There is an abundance Of fruit in
this region this year; lucious pears,
peaches, apricots, prunes, figs, plums,
also varieties of grapes and almonds.
One would think the fruit growers
ought to be happy but on the contrary
there is Encouragement and complaint
on every hand. They get little or
nothing for their labor.
visited the other day a fine place,
and saw such grapes as would make
you Dakota folks envious, but the lady
told me in utter encouragement,
"There is no money in fruit; shipments
do not pay expenses" A party shipped
q carload Of the finest watermelons,
some weighing as high as seyenty-fve
pounds. They received sixty cents per
dozen, and 200 were not accounted for.
Commission merchants and transporta-
ton companies have these fruit raisers
at their mercy.
They are running q playhouse and
cannery in Corning but doing nothing
like the business they might il there
was more profit in il.
1t is claimed that this haywood
colony is getting to be the greatest
olive-growing region in the world,
although many OF the trees set out have
not yet come to bearing. If you folks
| OF the northwest want genuine pure
olive oil, get it shipped from haywood
colony; and just throw away all your
old green stuff and order ripe salsed
olives, and You will get something
worth eating. If in some way there
could only be established q cheaper
mode Of transportation between the
consumers Of the northwest and the
producers in California it would surely
tend to make both parties laugh and
grow fat.
Please excuse my saying 81 much
upon this fruitful subject.
Truly yours,
A. j. Dickinson.

reasons. No other biographical writing

WHO SETTLED THE sTRIKEs

The admirers of President Roosevelt
tied the strike. He had good intentions.
He did his best. But he failed miser-
ably. Baer and his fellow mine owners
and railroad presidents treated the
President of the United States with
arrogance and insolence and prated of
their divine rights. Governor Odell and
Senator Platt tried their hands and were
snubbed as politicians" and told that
government was only good to send troops
and to hurry them up, too, and be quick
about it.
Then David B. Hill put plank in
the Democratic platform of New York
demanding government ownership of the
coal mines. Soon after 1000 school chill
dren were dismissed from school in SYRIA
euse because they could not keep warm.
1t was known that this was to be follow
ed by every school in the State. 1t be-.
came evident in every direction that the
people did not intend to freeze in order
to aid few millionaires to starve their
miners into subsection. The public was
getting it's temper up. New York State
would have given several hundred thou
sand majority in favor of the demand for
government ownership. Pennsylvania
Ohio and other States would have fol-
lowed. Pierpont Morgan, on his return
from Europe, had falsely said he had no
control over the matter and declined to
aid Mr.. Roosevelt But Morgan was not
mislead by his flatterers and fawners
as other millionaires were. He saw the
storm coming and knew that no power
ON earth could face the American people
when they are indignant and determined.
He knew that before their power Nor
gan and all his wealth and all the mil
lionaires and all their wealth was as
helpless as a pine tree whipped OF its
limbs and leaves by cyclone. He has
tened to Washington and the strike was
settled on the terms dictated by Mr..
Mitchell.
The strike was settled by the irresist-
ible power of Public Opinion. Mitchell
deserves credit for holding out and
Senator Hill for his bold appeal to the
power of the people. 1t is hardly prob
able that the American people will risk
another attempt by the millionaires to
freeze them in order to force the miners
But. whatever the future and permanent
settlement of the Observation-Disclosures 1t Is
government or State ownership of the
mines, or government control (whicf
must be more efficient than government
control of railroads has been)-whateveI

BISHOP POTTER'S BLOW AT TEN.
.. PERANCE REFORM.

There is not room to doubt that Bishop
like to encourage temperance, but he has
a poor way of showing it. His recent
sensational utterance was so pleasing to
the New York Liquor Dealers Associa
tion that they have put his pronuncia-
mento in circular form and are giving it
wide distribution. Whatever may be said
of Bishop Potter's motives and his posi-
ton, one thing is true: II his position
is endorsed by the Liquor Dealers AS
as inimical to their business. Perhaps
the justest as well as the severest crti-
cism OF Bishop Potter's position is made
by Dr. ]. j. Lafferty. the veteran editor
Of the Richmond Christian Advocate.
We quote:
I'VE have several times alluded to
Bishop Potter's utterances in regard to
the saloon. Occupying the highest Off
cial position in the Protestant Episcopal
church, and at the head of the most
he says on any subject carries with it
great weight and influence. That his at
titude on the liquor question has seriously
damaged the cause of temperance in this
country, there can be no doubt. Not only
has it given a qualified sanction to social
drinking, but decided encouragement to
the saloon. AS an evidence of this, the
liquor men have put his utterances in
circular form and scattered them broad
cast as virtual endorsement of their
unholy traffic.
Recently he has taken even more
decided and Objectionable stand upon this
subject. Not only does he denounce the
earnest advocates of temperance as ex-
tremists and fanatics, but he would have
the saloon open every day in the week,
including the Sabbath. He would dispense
with all restrictive or prohibitory legis-
lation in regard to the liquor traffic,
making it a matter Of personal response
bility, and allowing liquor to be sold and
drunk ad libitum. He agrees however,
that its sale might be restrained or for
hidden by the vote of the people in GER
tain municipalities or precincts.
How a high dignitary in the church of
God IAN take such a position in regard
to the direst evil that afflcts humanity
one cannot understand. OF course the
liquor men will chuckle at this fresh an
nouncement of his views. and blazon them
forth through every channel at their
command"
