phone promoters in making a fiat rate
for an unlimited numberrtfor service
for all time to come, when asking for
franchises This is untenable, because
the cost of telephone construction and
ma intenance vary too much in differ
emit cities of the United States partic-
ularly the maintenance, which will av-
erage 80 per cent. more in some cities
than in others, and it is unwise to
place the cost of maintenance at less
than 10 per cent. in any case. More
than this, the association should do all
in its power to enlighten town and
city councils on this subject, so that
they will scrutiniZe more carefully the
franchise asked by telephone company
promoters since such promoters gener-
ally organize these companies by issu-
ing stock and bonds, and then con-
struct the cheapest plant possible,
taking their profit and leaving the
stakeholder and bondholder to take
! care of the situation, who soon find, to
their disappointment that they were
caught in an Improbable investment
and the council is in the awkward pc
sition of having required conditions OF
their telephone company which can
not be carried out except at a great
loss and final bankruptcy.

/ CHARLES Bradshaw, exalted ruler OF
Des Moines lodge No. 9S. congratula-
ted Ottumwa and Ottumwa lodge upon
having the elegant quarters now &C.
cupied by the Elks. He confessed that
in the capital city the Elks are not so
happily situated as in Ottumwa, but
added that they have hopes for better

spoke in the highest terms of the order
in Ottumwa and expressed hope that
in year, Des Moines will be able to

they are practiced by the members.
are known to them only. Mr.. Manning
said he had watched the progress of

bers OF the lodge, with regard to their

Governor Cummins was next intro

fits of fraternal orders to society. He
said: "The age has come when indi-
vldual effort has less and less to do
much less than was the case some
years ago, when the country was in
more primitive state. Now, one mans
life is entwined with those of several
others, and his success or failure de-
ponds largely upon the actions of
others. Ii every man practices the
Golden Rule, if he remembers the prin-
ciples of brotherly love, fidelity and
justice, there would be less need of
1 charity among men than there is now.

how, or where the end may come, he

NoTRE DAME VS.. GEORGETOWN
Plan for Intersectionel Football Game
Is Suggested.


Chicago, Nov. 19.-Alumni Of Notre
Dame University are hard at work try
ing to arrange a post-season game be-
tween football teams Of Georgetown
university and Notre Dame. Since the
Indiana eleven held Northwestern
university's football team to no score,
the supporters of the boosters figure
that there are few teams in the coun-
try that can measure strength with
them
1t is the plan of the promoters aof
the game to have the Georgetown
team come west and play the game
Dec. S, either on the American league
baseba grounds or on Marshall field.
It is the intention Of those interested
to make the game an annual affair
and play all Of the games in Chicago.
Could the game be arranged for this
year, it would be for the champion
ship of the Catholic universities OF
the United States, as Notre Dame and
Georgetown are in a class by them
selves this year. Georgetown is very
strong, having held Princeton down to
five points in their game this fall.

gan should defeat Chicago on Thanks
giving Day by seven touehdowns.'
This is Coach Curtis prediction to
Captain Redden. Altho Redden in his
conversation is somewhat skeptical
about the size Of the score, he and his
fighting men are confident of victory
on turkey day. When asked if Michi-
gan played a bitter article Of football
last Saturday than she did against
Minnesota, Reddens answer was
No; we had to play harder against
the gophers and we put up a better
game in Minneapolis than we did last
Saturday against Wisconsin I don't
believe any team in the country can
defeat the gophers on their own
grounds
A big let-up in the strenuous work
which characterized the work Of the
wolverines last week has been ordered
by Coach Yost and Trainer Fitz-
patrick. The players, some of whom
are now in wonderful physical cordi-
ton, as was shown by Saturday
game, must not go stale before Chi
cago, and no fierce scrimmage worl,
will be INDUCED in this week.
Ihe Oberlin game, next Saturday
will probably be a repetition of the
ONO game OF two weeks ago, and the
players will not be asked to exert
themselves to defeat the Congregation
alists from Ohio.

FOOTBALL NOT ARTISTIC
Professor Goodel1 of Yale Cites Novel
Objection to Game.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 1s.-The
popularity Of football is declared by
Professor T. D. Goodell of Yale to be
due to the undeve1oped esthetic taste
of the modern public. Football, he
said, was an offense to every instinct
and it was in violation Of all princi-
pies of art. He compared 1t .unfavor-
ably with other sport, and especially
with rowing, whose rhythm. he said,
was the very essence of poetry
cit is the late development of this
side of a man chara ter. he said,
that accounts for the great populari-
ty Of football, which is game that
has in it nothing THAT appeals to the
artistic sense. Twenty-two men de-
velop themselves by hard training and
rigid living until they became twenty
two Apollos of physical beauty. Then
they go on the field and spoil. all their
symmetry by great pads of leather
which destroy their beauty and dis
figure their faces with great pieces OF
rubber, SO that all resemblance to the
human, much less the divine, is lost
There is nothing elevating In the game
of football On the other hand, row
ling tends to increase the taste of the
ISnectatorS.'

RUMORS OF ROW WITH WIS.FALSE
CHOSEN BY BADGERS
Darby and Burkland, Suggested by
Wisconsin, Selected as Referee
and Umpire.
Facts in Regard to Story of Disa.
greement Between the Two
Managements

The Wisconsin university COR
respondents evidently use most
potent brand Of dope. The latest Is a
dispatch from Madison last night, stat
ing that Minnesota and Wisconsin
were at loggerheads over the selection
of officials for the Thanksgiving Day
game between the two institutions, and
that the, wisconsin management had
threatened to cancel the game unless
Minnesota would agree upon COM
petent men.
The facts in the case are that all the
officials have been selected, and have
been agreed upon' by both manage
the'game, and Burkland of Illinois will
umpire. Gale of Chicago will be head
linesman. Darby and Burkland were
proposed by Manager Fitzpatrick Of
Wisconsin, and accepted by Minnesota.
Gale was proposed by Minnesota and
accepted by Wisconsin. So two of the
three officials are Wisconsin's choice.
Originally Minnesota sent to Wis
consin the names of Gale for head
linesman: Henry Clark Of Chicago for
referee and Phil Allen of Chicago for
umpire. Fitzpatrick agreed to Gale,
but refused to accept Clark or Allen.
He proposed Darby for referee and
Illinois for umpire. DIR. Williams ac-
eepted Darby, but refused to agree to
Wrenn or Hoagland, proposing Fred
LOewenthal of Illinois as a substitute.
Fitzpatrick refused Loewentha1 and
suggested Burkland, who was accepted
by Dr.. Williams.
The only foundation for the dis
patches from Madison appears to be a
chance remark dropped by Fitzpatrick,
apparently half in jest, a few days ago.
Fitzpatrick. however, told Manager
Barnard Of Minnesota. when the latter
was in Madison, Monday, that he
wanted to maintain athletic relations
with Minnesota, and intimated that he
would like to see a resumption of the
annual track games, as we'll as football
contests.

FINE PIPE DREAMS

Variety? ..
Wild Talk of Wisconsin's Canceling
Game Because of Dispute Over
the Officials.
New York Sun Special Service


Madison. Wis, Nov. 19.-Wisconsin
and Minnesota are at logger heads
over the selection of officials for the
Thanksgiving day game here.
The Wisconsin management yester-
day received from DR.. Williams of
Minnesota a list of three men whom
the badgers regard as highly objec-
to DR.. Williams, the badger manage
ment suggested that if he could not
advance the names of more acceptable
men the game had better be cancelled.
The apparently unsportsmanlike
spirit of the gophers is creating SEN
timent in favor of dropping them from
future football schedules. The matter
was discussed at a, meeting of the ath-
letic board tonight, but nothing was
done regarding it. -t
If Minnesota attempts any dirty
playing In the Thanksgiving game, it
is not unlikely that Wisconsin, tho
1t has contract for two more games,
will sever football relations with the
gophers.
The athletic board last night elected
p. A. Jackson of Oak Park, I'LL, man
ager of the track team; Demitte Poole
Of Madison. manager of the tennis
team: Morris Fox of Madison, man.
ager of the crew, and Isaac J. Dahle
of Mount Horeb, Wis. manager of the
baseball team.
The continuous cold weather still
interferes with the wisconsin prac-
tice for the Northwestern game in
Chicago. Saturday The men last
night were not able to take any scrim-
mage work because of the frozen con-
dition of the campus. 1t is hoped
however, that they may have short
scrimmage to-day. All of the regular
men but Captain Abbott We're out last
