Before me, my desk, is a face, writes .
gossiper in the Philadelphia North Ameri
can. From out narrow easement of gold,
two eyes of which I can not tell, keep watch
of every word 1 write. When 1 look up
from my sheet it is to dwell moment on
the grace and curving beauty of two
lips, whence the sweetest of music
that surrounds my way; on thro
as soft and long filled that of
the brown bird which fingers
outside my window each morning; on a
crown, of da,k hue in the picture, but sho,
with golden saint like glory in in tn e living.
Could l borrow from the sun its gladness,
from the wind its softness, from the rainbow
its beauty, from the its depth and from
the high mountain its truth, and put them
down a piece of the blue above, with
stars for commas, I might be able to tell
you of that face it is to me. Yet all I
can say is: before me- on my desk, is
face! Not all-there is something more.
Before me, in my life, is face. BY its dear,
steady light, which is always more bright
today than yesterday, can see, even though
dimly, and yelled in the haze of distance,
some of the things have long sought, and
with them, some far beyond my thoughts
hopes Or dreams. Looking into those Wis
toned realms, overspread with this wonder
full light, forget to notice the rough places
in the road and the stones that once hurt me
seem to have been swept from the path.
Even the bare trees seem to be in leaf and I
cannot but count the brownest meadow
green. I see them all as they are, yet I
know them not thus. For somehow, in the
shining of that face lies a power to change
TO make anew. We're Dante a Burns,
might in living lines let you know how
that light glorifies and gladdens all on
which it falls But the most l can do is to
say that before Inc, on my desk, and before
me, in my life is a face! Before each of us
should be some face. l tell you the light
which shines through loving eyes is finer
light than any other, and the music that
loats from loving lips is sweeter than aught

ABOUT FOOTBALL.

A bill has been introduced in
the Missouri Legislature to pro-
hibit the playing of football.
The people of this country are
pretty well divided ON this ques-
ton. Many very estimable per-
sons think it is just the thing,
while an equally large and re-
spectacle portion of the popula-
ton are convinced that it is a
barbarous form of amusement
and should be prohibited by law.
During the last football season
many deaths resulted from in
juries sustained by football
players. If the published re-
ports are correct football caused
a greater loss of life in the past
year than the prize ring has
been responsible for during the
last twenty years. And, strange
to say, prize-fighting is out
lawed, while football is the favor
tie sport of the most cultured
classes of the American people.
If there is any difference be-
tween prize fighting and football,
it is in favor of the former.
When a thug is killed in a pugi-
listic contest, the occurrence is
certainly not as regrettable as
when some enthu siastic school
boy loses his life on the eridiron.
One is a matured man and goes
into the game for gain and gam
bles away his life. The other is
carried away by a spirit of col
lege rivalry and dies in an effort
to furnish amusement to a lot of
football enthusiasts. OF course,
all football games do not cause
fatalities. but many of them do.
We believe that if the lists of
casualties are compared, it will
be shown that the victims of
football are much more numer-
Gus than those of prize-fighting.
Despise all that has been said in
favor of both forms of amuse-
ment, neither is so conducive to
physical development as to COM
pensate for the injury that it
does.
The Gazette is not disposed
to seek a legislative remedy for
everything that does not seem
exactly right and it is rather of
the opinion that the force of
public sentiment will compel
the devotees of football to rid the
game of the abuses which have
crept into it. But in the mean
time let us not be too severe in
arraigning the sporting elements
for patronizing the prize ring
and the wicked Spaniards for
raving over their bullfghts.

While the South is nationally
and earnestly dealing with the
negro question the Republicans
of the North are doing all in their
power to cause trouble not only
to the white people Of the South
ern States but to the negroes of
this section. Every time Presi-
dent Roosevelt entertainS a ne
gro at the White House the sOlu-
ton of the race problem in the
South is rendered more difficult,
and whenever some radical meas
ure is proposed in Congress to
secure political equality for the
Southern negroes the results
are disastrous to the very peo-
pie whose welfare this PERM
cious kind of legislation pre-
tends to promote.
If any further evidence is
needed to prove that the Repub-
lican party is determined to pur-
sue it's infamous policy of inter-
ference in the affairs of the
South that evidence is furnished
by the recent action of the Sena-
torial committee which made a
favorable report on Senator Me-
Comas' bill to create the Freed
mans Inquiry Commission.
The purpose of this bill is to
investigate racial conditions in
the South and incidentally to
make few soft berths for some
of the pets of the g. o. p. who
have not yet been provided for.
The Republican party knows
that it can not reverse the social
and political conditions in the
South. If reconstruction has
done one thing it has settled
forever the question of racial
supremacy in the South. An
almost united North, freshly en-
Uttered by the bloodiest of civil
wars, which had just ended,
backed by the civil and military
forces of the Federal govern
ment, was unable to coerce the
South into submission to the
rule of an inferior race. The
South, weakened and impOver-
ished by war, with it's homes
destroyed and it's fields de-
vastated, was yet mighty in
moral strength and unconquer-
able pride and could not be made
to submit to infamous Federal
laws. If the South could not be
subjugated then, the Republican
party knows that it will not sub
nit to force bills to-day.
These spasmodic outbursts of
sectional rancOr, as shown by
the McComas bill, are intended
merely to wave the bloody shirt
for political reasons. There are
prejudiced, narrow
minded white people and ne
groes in the dOub tful States to
hold the balance of power, and
among this class
the bloody shirt has not lost all
it's once potent charm. 1t must
be occasionally resurrected to
keep the niggers and the meaner
whites together to help out the
grand old party of moral ideas.

Senator Hoar has emp hatically
expressed the opinion that Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, in COM
mon courtesy, should keep his
hands off in matters of Legislation
until the national legislature has

not drop.-San Francisco Call.
In the common Judgment
the proposals made to the powers
by Venezuela through United
States Minister Bowen have
been fair and adequate, but there
is such a delay in their acceptance
as justifies the suspicion that
Germany is determined that fair
measures shall fail, so that she
may use still more force, if
forbearance, already
shall permit it in the
