All Tied Up.

The football situation is befogged
and the enthusiasts are worried. Cir
excessively favor dope
There have been altogether too many
ties in western football this year Tor
the devotee who is looking for a
champion team, unquestioned and I'M
rivaled, at whose feet he may lay his
offering of praise and admiration.
To please Minnesota. wisconsin
ought to have won from Northwestern
Saturday For once, Minnesotans de-
sired a Wisconsin victory. Yet the
best Wisconsin could do was to get a
tie, and that, too, with an eleven which
is tied UP with ties. Northwestern has
tied Chicago and Notre Dame and got
nothing better than a tie out of Hi
nois.
The result of all these ties may be
that by means of dope Minnesota
splendid eleven will fail to get its dues.
Simply because it has not been beaten,
tho it has not made a brilliant show
ing in any game, Northwestern Is now
considered in the championship run
ming. If Chicago, by f1uke or other-
WISE should happen to beat Michigan
the dopesters would argue that NORTH
western was better than Minnesota III
championship figuring, because or her
tie with a team which had beaten
Michigan after the latter had tied
Minnesota In football a tie is the
equivalent of the sign of equality III
mathematics. Minnesota equals Mich
igan and Northwestern equals Chi
cago, is the way the dope has 1t. Now.
if the Thanksgiving game gives Chi
cago a higher value than Michigan, II
| follows that Northwestern has the
same, and Minnesota a lower, value.
| The Minnesota dope devotee will
figure it differently, but he will not
be listened to by the Chicago arbiters
| of football honors. This is the way
he will do it, supposing Chicago beats
Michigan, and Minnesota beats Wis
consin: Northwestern equals Chi.
cago, and wisconsin equals North.
| WESTERN; therefore Wisconsin equals
Chicago Chat score Of Is to not
withstanding), hence Minnesota il
4 better than Chicago.
1t is possible to carry this calcula
ton to an interesting extreme, as fol
l example: Minnesota being better thar
Chicago, as above demonstrated
Minnesota must be better than Michl
gan, but as Minnesota and Michigan
played a tie game, which showed tina
Michigan equaled Minnesota, it fol
lows that Minnesota is better thai
Minnesota. You don't follow? Well
look here Michigan equals Mime
! sofa, but we have found that Mime
. sofa Is superior to Michigan by an
: other line of calculation. Substitut
ing this value in the equation Mime
. sofa equals Michigan, we find tina
, Minnesota is superior to Minnesota
5 You don't understand? Never mind
: there is no royal road to the master
Of football dope.

Colombia Is passing thru a tragic crisis,

Business and Not Bonuses.

An advocate of ship subsidies
writes to T h e Journ a ! from Bos-
ton with regard to the comment in
this paper on Mr.. Hills splendid
equipment for Trans-Pacifc trade
and the advantage to be gained by
sailing his new big ships under the
American flag in order to participate
in the Philippine trade. The law
provides that the export duty on
Philippine goods destined to the
United States, if transported in Amer
lean bottoms, shall be RENTED, and
this, it was suggested, would be
worth more to Mr.. Hill than any ad-
vantage he might derive from placing
his ships under any foreign flag. Our
Boston correspondent contends, how
ever, that Mr.. Hill will not have a
monopoly Of the Philippine trade;
that there are ships having a tonnage
of 100000 tons all ready to engage in
the Philippine trade, and calls atten-
ton to the fact that preference for
American bottoms in the trade be-
tween Porto Rico and Hawaii and the
United States has already resulted in
transferring the traffic between
those possessions and the United
States to American bottoms. The
| American merchants are now pro
vided with better transportation facil-
tiles with our island possessions than
| they have ever been afforded before
All of which does. not seem to be ar
argument in favor Of ship subsidy
SO much as a dem onstration of the
truth Of Mr.. Hills statement that il
is not bonuses but business which
American shipping needs.

comes another story of q similar char
acter from Queensland. Australia, where
several years drought became a most seri-
Gus matter to the settlers. Little Rose
Naylor, daughter of a squatter, was told
one day by her school mistress to write
as composition an account of something
that had happened in her own life. She
wrote out a dream she had had. She de-
gscriloed avalley on her fathers land-at
the time desolate waste of dried-up
scrub--and said that in her dream 1t had
turned into a beautiful lake, with long
grass round it, and fat cattle resting I'M
/ der green trees at its edges. She said the
water came from sort of post stuck in
the ground. The teacher was surprised
and interested and told Rose to take the
composition to her father The latter.
i who was almost in despair at the long
i continuance of the drought, had already
made Ut, his mind to bore an artesian well.
4 Being a little slperstitious, he decided to
put down the bore at the spot mentioned

i ing. Water speuted from the top of the

High Honor Comes unsousht to This

kindly but austere gentleman came in
the other day, laid his tall hat carefully
on the office desk and after some meteor
illogical preliminary, practically offered US
the responsible and honorable position OF
president Of the Society for the Suppress
sion of Other Peoples Foolish Habits.
This is a cause in which we have taken
great intersection many years and we high
ly appreciate the compliment involved in
the offer OF the presidency.
Lowell Otus Reese, who runs nonpareil
column in the San Francisco Bulletin,
one, is opposed to this society. He says:
"'Deliyer me from people. who
Profess godlike humility,
Then air their neighbours weakness with
Untiring volubility.'
We are unable to agree with MIR. Reese.
We have always found it much easier to
detect other peoples faults than our own
and much easier to suggest how they
should be corrected.
Have you ever noticed, also, how habit
which you deprecate in others, you are
able to tolerate in yourself? This is one
reason why it is simpler and more salts
factory to point out to others their short
comings than to attempt to clear ones
own thought Of those things which do
not make for goodness and comfortable
living all around.
It is the office of the president of the
Society for the Suppression Of Other Peo-
pies Foolish Habits not only to point out
to them their shortcomings. but to offer
good advice freely and volubly on every
occasion, to tell them what system Of
medicine or lack of it they should adopt
for themselves or their children. to warn
them that their religious affiliations are
harmful. to advise them openly to fee
from iniquity and the habit of chewing
gum
Anybody who feels the need of advice is
requested to step in at once and be told
just where he stands

WHY SHOULD WOMEN VOTE :

The reasons why women should
vote are the same as the reasons
why men should vote--the same as
the reasons for having republic
rather than monarchy. 1t is fair
and right that the people who must
obey the laws should have a voice
in choosing the lawmakers, and
that those who must pay the taxes
should have voice as to the a.
mount of the tax, and the way in
which the money shall be spent.
Roughly stated, the fundamental
principle Of republic is this: In
deciding what il to be done, where
everybody's interests are concerned,
we take eyerybody's opinion, and
then 90 according to the wish Of the
majority. AS we cannot suit every.
body, we do what will suit the great
est number. That seems to be. on
the whole, the fairest way. A vote
is simply a written expression Of
opinion.
In time taking a vote to get at
the majority, certain classes OF per-
sons are passed over, whose opinions
for one reason or another are
thought not TO be worth counting.
In most Of our States, these classes
are children, aliens, idiots, lunatics,
criminals and women. There are
good and obvious reasons for max
ing all these exceptions but the last.
OF course no account ought to be
taken Of the opinions of children,
insane persons or criminals. Is
there any equally good season why
the opinions Of women should not
be counted.
