FOOTBALL,

The football casualties of Thanks
giving week have not yet been fully
compiled. During the season, however,
up to the beginning of the week there
had been, according to the Chicago
Tribune, ten deaths and seventy seri-
Gus accidents from football play In
all probability this score will be some
what increased when all of the re-
turns are in. Some days ago Chan
cellor Day of Syracuse University said
that 1t was time for all college presi-
dents of the country to rise in their
might and ask that football be PLAYED
| with the brains. and not with brute
force alone" In his opinion the game
was not far removed from the level of
the prize fight, especially in the mass
plays. AT every game" he said, men
are being laid out repeatedly. Specta-
tors see three or four men lying on
the ground, one man running this way
for pail of water, another rubbing
bruised muscles, another chatting a
mans arms, and still others pumping
air into the lungs of an unconscious
player" Chancellor Day regards mod
ern football as an unsafe game that
ought to be reformed.
There is, however, the chief execu-
tive of another college who is a warm
defender of football. He is President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton. He has
himself been football player, and for
years he has watched and studied the
game; and after all he gives 1t his in
dorsement. ANY declaration" he
says. that football as now played by
American college or university teams
is on level with prize fighting shows
crude thought. l believe II TO be a
wholesome sport. which deserves the
importance II has attained. 1T is not
fair" he declares, ito say that brute
force rather than intelligence governs
the game. The facts are quite the OPP
posite. Even In the mass plays "the
thing Is an planned and worked out
with skill and order" The object OF
the football player Is 10 put the ball
through the goal. and any possible
injury received Is by accident and

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
THE proposition to reduce Southern
representation. as. urged by unwlse
Republican partisans, is, If successful
~ carried out, calculated to revive and
increase sectional feeling to a degree
which must be deeply lamented by all
right-thinking citizens and lovers of
the\ common country"
The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
President Roosevelt has very prop
erly given Venezuela to understand
that the Monroe doctrine is not mere
dead wall from behind which South
American republics can safely throw
bricks at European powers. The OBJ
,streperous small nation, like the OBJ
streperous small boy, must expect a
spanking when it misbehaves."
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem)
says: 1T is considered doubtful if the
Republicanism of the proposed new
states can be guaranteed, as Arizona
was Democratic in the last election
and Oklahoma went Republican by a
small majority. The prospect seems
to be that the door of statehood will
be closed against them all. Every
thing these days is governed by party
politics."
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal

our times, trusts and their tariff-pro-

A Wonderful Cure.

All night the great physician sits at
the side of his patient, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
With soft motions of his hands he
directs the trained nurse when to mop
the fevered brow, when to feed the
thermometer to the suffering one, when
to put another dollar on the bill and
when TO fix up a fresh bulletin for the
waiting crowd on the street.
When the cold gray dawn creeps up
from the east the change comes.
The crisis is passed.
The patient awakes. In his eyes is
the CLEAN of recurring intelligence;
on his cheeks is once again the glow
of health.
The great physician smiles a salts
fed smile and hurries to the reception
room, where the reporters crowd about
him.
"A cure!" he cries. "A curel For a
time l had my doubts, but the treat
ment has been successful"
That day all the world wondered
over the wild story that a professional
humorist had been so treated that he
was no longer addicted to the fearsome
habit of writing Thanksgiving jokes
with the Sultan of Turkey in them.

RESPONSIBILITY OF RICHES

1nose VINO are poor are forever sigh
ing for riches and those who have
riches, while they would not willingly
part with them. are always complain
ing of the burdens which riches i'm
pose. So neither the rich nor the poor
are altogether happy, though, If the
truth could be obtained, 1T is probable
that it would be found that the poor
have more real happiness than the
rich.
These remarks are suggested by atalk
of Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
Billion Dollar Steel Trust, in his
apartments at Paris on Thanksgiving
Day. In the course of his talk Mr..
Schwab said: Wealth means respon-
sibility and the more wealth man
has the greater his responsibilities are.
Observe how the German Emperor re-
alizing his responsibility, works inces-
sanity"
Mr.. Schwab said that wealth might
make mans path a little easier pro-
vided he made a proper use of 1t, and
the proper use of it means that it must
be used enthusiastically and not selfish
~. One of the drawbacks of wealth
mentioned by Mr.. Schwab is the diff
ficulty a ricn man has in getting rest
and in preventing his privacy from be-
ing invaded. His wealth attracts at
tention and forces into the glare of
publicity aspects of his private life
that he does not care to have inspect-
ed and commented on
After all, the man that is nearest
being contented, and therefore the hap
pest. is the one that has neither too
much nor too little; that has Just
enough to meet his reasonable wants
and who has assurances that he Will
not be deprived of this competency
during his lifetime. His responsible
ties and worries are reduced to a min
imum.

He Carried the Day.

The New England town meeting,
says the New York Times, is ever a
source of anecdote. and one that may
bear repeating comes from Wellesley,
Mass, noted for a college, and, until
his recent death, for one Solomon
Flagg, who attributed his fourscore
healthy years to the fact that he had
always used tobacco and liquor-if
the liquor was good.
FIagg was town clerk, historian and
the traditional wit of town meeting.
At one of these March gatherings, the
management of the poor farm was I'M
der criticism, and some one had made
bold to defend the superintendent,
Robinson by name, who was charged
with being intolerably lazy
Flagg listened intently; then cleared
his throat and thus addressed the
chair: mfr. Moderator: Our friend
who has taken his seat. is an eloquent
gent, and there may be some truth in
his remarks. But, Mr.. Moderator, in
my opinion, pair of paper taps on the
soles of Brother Robinsons shoes
would outwear a leather patch on the
seat of his trousers"
And Solomon Flagg carried the day.

His Own Messenger.

Al. H. Wilson, comedian, tells a
story on himself that is worth repeat
ing: IT was playing dates through the
mining country, up back of Gunnison.

they dig out gold and silver, and had
about $4,000 saved up. ] had four more
weeks in that region, so 1 determined
to send my money to a bank in Butte
for transmission to Buffalo my home.
Stepping into a little place where the
sign said Money Forwarded l asked
how much it would cost to send my
money to Butte. Fifteen dollars was
the reply, so I counted out my money.
and incidentally remarked that I would
be there myself in two days.
"Oh. by the way, if you are going
tie parcel of papers there for us?' ask
ed the man.
" No, l don't mind said I, and in
a little while they gave me a neat lit
tie package with the address of the
banker on it, to whom they had for
warded the money. took it, put it in
my grip and left town.
Arriving at Butte, I presented my
order for the money, and the package,
also. Judge of my astonishment when
they undid the parcel, and right before
my eyes counted out all the cold cash
l had given to the agent in the mining
town.

senger, and had paid them SIS for doing
it.

She's shelved for the remainder of her
lonely little life
And never can become a self-respect-

a smile 'twould draw the bees:

STRENGTHENING Commissioner Paul
Iglehart came back to the City Hall
this week from a cunning trip in Anne
Arundel county and brought with him
a supply of new stories told in the
historic old South River Club, says
the Baltimore Sun.
The one that particular took Mr..
Iglehart's fancy was that of the Irish
servant girl who one day asked her
mistress what was the meaning of the
word "kismet." After thinking a lit
tie while, the mistress said:
Why, Bridget, it is another name for
Fate
A day or so afterward the mistress
discovered Bridget hobbling down the
stairs, evidently in great pain and
walking very lame.
Why, what on earth is the matter
with you?" she asked.
"Oh, sure, ma'am," was the reply,
I've got bunions on my kismet."

GOOD MUNICIPAL POLICY.

To the far-sightedness of those who
had charge of municipal affairs half
century or more ago is due the fact
that this city has Outstripped other
cities on the South Atlantic coast. The
mayors and aldermen of those days
saw to it that the streets were proper
ly laid off before the demand came for
lots. And when the streets had been
laid off those of their fellow citizens
who were seeking homes, or investing
money in real estate, were enabled to
purchase town property at reasonable
figures. This fostered the demand and
the town grew.
Later on, either through indifference
to the future of the city or a false
idea of economy, the securing of street
rights-of-Way and areas for parks, in
advance of the growth of the city, was
neglected, and when it became neces-
sary to provide for them the
prices Of lands had advanced, and tens
if not hundreds of thousands of dollars
had to be paid for land which, had it
been secured at the proper time, would
have cost the city only fraction of
what it eventually cost. Even
then the city had sometimes to accept
streets not laid off on the proper lines.
Recent city administrations have en-
deavored to avoid the mistakes made
by some of their predecessors, and the
present administration has been a lib
eral provider for the future expansion
OF the city, especially in the South
western section. Street rights-of-way
and areas for squares have been Sc
cured, and that part Of the city. when
built up, will be more in keeping with
the original plan of Savannah than
some sections that have been built I'D
during the past few years.
1t is understood that the admins
tration favors continuing the policy OF
anticipating the growth of the city.
ms Is WISE, as the price Of
lots in eligible and improved localities
| mas already advanced to such figures
as TO place them beyond the means of
home-seekers of moderate means.
There is a demand for lots cheaper
than those now being offered. and the
only way to provide the people with
them is for the city to open streets and
lay off squares or parks. What such
improvements mean in dollars and
cents is to be seen in the section south
Oh Anderson street. The city, in order
TO open up streets in that section,
bought large area of land and now
receives annually in taxes more than
was paid for the land.

fighting the final and only object Of
each fighter is to knock the other out.
President Wilson is willing to admit
that football is rough sport. very
rough; but the college men who engage
in it go through a period of training
and hardening their muscles in antici-
patton Of the roughness of the field.
And. as a matter Of fact, of the deaths
from injuries on the football field this
year, not one was that of a trained
player. Several college men have been
injured, but it is believed that in every
instance the players rugged physique,
due TO systematic training, will bring
him through without serious conse-
quences. The deaths and permanent
injuries were received by players in
small towns who had not undergone
the proper preparation for the strain
and bumps and bruisse to which they
subjected themselves in the games.
The influence of football training on
college men, President Wilson says,
is sound and lasting. The player learns
to sink his individuality and fight for
his colors rather than himself. 1t is
like the training of the soldier. The
football player must be good natured.
He must take hard knocks without
anger. He must give and take without
losing temper; otherwise he cannot re-
main in the team. 'It is one of the
best things in the world" declares
President Wilson, ito teach a young
70 faI
uredly."
While defending the sport warmly,
even President Wilson is forced to adj
nit chat it is a bit more strenuous
than he would like. Personally" he
says, Il prefer the old Rugby game"
In that game there is more individual
play and less hurting of crushing
masses upon the Opposine team
