BAY CITY SHOWED UNDER.
Alma Winners of the District.
They Out Played Bay City in Every
Stage of the Game.

Saturday, Oct l8, Bay City and Alma
high schools met ON Davis Field and
played for the championship of Central
Michigan. Bay City won the toss and
chose the west goal. Alma kicked Oft TO
Bay City's twelve yard line. They tried
a play through our center but failed. on
the third down they fumbled the ball
ana Lockwood dropped on it, Then
Alma began her whirlwind plays and
after three downs, Decker was pushed
over for the first touchdown. Bay City
then kicked 10 Alma and only six plays
more were required 10 make second
touchdown. After that the touchdowns
came about every three minutes. The
first half ended 33 TO in Almas favor.
The second half began by Bay City
again kicking the bal of 10 Alma, who
again showed her ability TO carry the
ball. The second half was only repe-
tltlon OF the first halt, Alma making
touchdowns at will The game was
characterized by long runs of from 80
to 90 yards which were the result Of
the fine inteferences that Alma has
been perfecting. Their "wing shift"
can be relied upon for at least five yards
on almost any team, although they
used it but little in last Saturdays
game. They did not need It.
Bay City had the ball only three
times during the game, once on the
kick off, again on a tumble, and once
they held Alma for downs after they
had been penalized and had twelve
yards to gain on the last down. Bay |
City did not gain their downs" once, |
so Alma's defensive is as good as her Of |
fenslve. Owing to the muddy condition |
OF the field, fast work was impossible. |
Roy ce cked five goals out of the ten,
which was very good considering the
muddy condition of the ball.
By winning this game Alma wins the
Of central Michigan.
Next Saturday, oct Goth, they play
Orchard Lake at the the latter place.
This game is fors the championship Of
eastern Michigan. The winners of this
game are sure TO play the game that
decides the championship Of the lower
peninsula. The following is the line

Immediately after its election and 10 pre-

event. But that should be regarded as
corollary to the pending proposition to Sc

nance with the demands of common sense,
safety to health and the comfort of the ma
ton.
III the House, however. should desire to
utilize the c.-ange-of-date resolution as the
vehicle for carrying through measure for
the shifting Of the congressional calendar,
there Is no reason why amendments should
not be offered In the House when the reso-
luton Is reported. and there voted upon.

be found that q satisfactory scheme OF
dates cannot be devised to permit Congress
to meet Immediately after election and to
sit without reference to the inauguration

unwilling to curtan or lengthen the life Of
any future Congress In making this read
justment, then the plan for the shifting of
the inauguration SHOULD be permitted to

Senators by Popular Vote.

Mr.. Depew has probably accomplished the
object he had in view in proposing an
amendment to the House resolution pro-
vidng for the election of United States SEN
ators by popular vote. The amendment has
been accepted by the majority of the Sem
ate committee on privileges and elections,
and that. it is thought, makes the defeat
OF the resolution certain.
The proposition was never particularly
strong in the Senate. The democrats have
shown some interest in 1t, and Mr.. Bryan
has urged that they support it solidly. He
thought it good card to play in connec-
ton with the next presidential election. But
neither he nor any other democratic leader
had taken into account such a proposition
as manhood suffrage in connection with the
change; and now that this has been brought
forward, the democratic senators show
signs of losing interest in the subject. They
would be glad to have the people vote
directly for senators, but not in numbers
in the southern states larger than are now
admitted to the polls To enlarge the cleo
torate down there is too great price, they
consider. to pay for anything.
Judged simply a maneuver. Mr.. De-
pews move is entitled to some praise. But
his proposition does not meet the broader
He speaks against a choice of senators by
..oigarchy" and instances the power of
Mississippi with fifty-fve thousand votes as
against New York with fifteen hundred
thousand votes, with scholarships submit
ted to the popular choice. But the oil
garchy'' already exists. and will continue
with the old order of things The fifty-five
thousand votes In Mississippi will continue
to elect the state legislature, which in turn
will choose the senator. while the fifteen
hundr red thousand votes in New York will
be able to do more.
Mr. Depew has begun at the wrong emo
of the line. Constitutional representation
in Congress is a very important matter.
The inequality in the House Is conspicuous
and wholly without Justification, and that
Is where correction should be applied. If
applied there, it would apply itself in time
TO the Senate. For nothing is more certain
than that the south, if required to stand
upon the constitutional provision as to the
suffrage, would liberaliZe her suffrage laws
both to her own and the country's advan-
tage. The local bosses might be upset in
the process. but nobody but they would be
injured. OF course. as Mr.. Depew IS not
member of the House he is not in the fight
garchies'' in politics he should give his
sympathy at least to those of his party
friends in the House who are trying to
tabIish something like equality among the
states in their powers in that body.

Vindication Of Dole,
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The yindication Of Governor Dole-an able
and incorruptible offcial-deserves the
heartiest commentator. 1t is so complete
in its practical aspects to the politicians
that the Hawaiian government will be at
once released from it's most trying annoy
ances and embarrassments. Besides that
it is the just reward Of well-doing, and this
makes 1t subject for general congratula-
tons. There Is no officeholder under the
United States today who has higher concep-
ton of duty than Governor Dole or a purer
record in private and public life. Political
power came to him in the first place as a
tribute to his character and there has been
no good reason to question his motives from
that time to this. Slurs against his ability
have been equally groundless. He is a man
of fine intelligence, with special knowl-
edge Of Hawaii and the Hawaiians gained
through lifelong experience. No appoin-
tee from this country could possibly have
such an equipment for his office as he has.
and certainly no fit substitute could be
found among the intriguing faction of car
pet baggers who have been moving heaven
and Hawaii for his downfall. His retention
is most emphatically triumph for good
government.

China'S Revolt.

The rebellion in south China grows in
size and Importance. The latest bulletins
from Hong Kong state that two thousand
imperial troops have been ambushed and
slaughtered by the rebels and the call for
reinforCements to aid the imperial COM
nlanders in the field grows insstent. 1t is
becoming evident that the government at
Pekin. weakened in prestige by its accept
ance of the demands of the powers and in
resources by the Boxer war and it's conse-
quences. finds itself unable at present to
cope with the disturbance. Thus far there
is no suggestion that the strife has mean
ing which menaces the status of the for
eigners in China that it is in any sense
or degree the result of the governments du-
plicity. 1t appears to be normal result of
popular discomfort, against which the au-
thOrities at Pekin are earnestly striving
with the best means at their command

against the soldiers. especially the so-called
''water-cure'' method of forcing prisoners
to give information. There may be a d.
of some of the harsher practices Of the
troops on the march in a hostile country
surrounded by traitors, insufficiently sup
piled with food harassed by dangers which
even to the trained soldier appear terribly
menacing. But there can be no doubt that
the country condemns every suggestion Of
torture, Of whatever nature or for whatever
purpose. 1t is wholly foreign to the civiliza-
ton for the sake Of which the flag has been
carried half way around the world and
planted, at great cost, in the archipelago.
The great gain Of the present situation
lies in the presentation OF definite charges
in such form that the administration can
take cognizance Of them and put them in
the way of proof or dismissal The prompt
ness with which orders have been sent to
General Chaffee to exhaust every means Of
ascertaining the truth Is a guarantee that
results will follow the testimony Of the two
ex-soldiers before the Senate committee,
the trial of Major Waller and the report
submitted by Major Gardener. Heretofore
there has been much loose talk about the
indifference of our soldiers to the require
ments of civilized warfare and to our obli-
cations in especial to the Filipinos as wards
and future possible territorial citizens.
Now that the accusations have been
brought to a focus it should be possible
either permanently to quiet the clamor of
accusation by refutation or to clear the
record by adequate punishments melted out
to the guilty men
