It Rebukes The Dissertation OF
Memorial Day By Gaety'
SOME ELOQUENT PARAGRAPHS,

Topeka, May Ex-Governor Bailey is
opposed TO the dissertation Of Memorial
day, He wants it observed in patri-
otto manner instead Of games and
gaycty. His proclamation follows:
The great curse is selfshness, The
great service is sacrifice. Gratitude is
one Of the finest Of human sentiments
The selfshness Of slavery and scces-
sion brought about that colossal sacri-
fee which makes the civil war lone
pinnacle on the sky line Of the worlds
war architecture, This unparalleled
offering moves us, the benefciaries, to
the deepest sentiments Of gratefulness.
The beautiful custom Of our memorial
observance was years ago recognized
by the legislature Of this state in an ell
actmcnt declaring May 80 legal holt
day. Since this expression by the
lawmahing power Of Kansas, her sons
Of younger generation have done
honor to the memory Of their fathers
and challenged the admiration Of the
world by their decency and gallantry
in the war with Spain. The Union
preserved by the fathers and expanded
by their sons has reached rank in the
family Of nations which makes every
true son Of the republic proud.
In order that the people Of this state
may with becoming devotion pay their
annual tribute to the soldiers and sail
ors, living and dead, who on land and
sea by their sacrlacial valor made this
our great inheritance what it is, |, W.
j. Bailey, governor OF the state OF Kan
sas, do hereby proclaim tile 3Oth Of
May, 1903, day set apart by most
proper custom and enactment for such
public observance as may best show
our gratitude, and inspire a deeper
love Of country. request that all
churches, civic and charitable societies,
public officials and educational institu.
tions, join with the military organiza-
ton in making this day all that it
should be, by virtue Of Its memories
and meaning, and that our citizens
refrain from perverting this memorial
occasion To the use Of games and
gayety.

Atlanta, Ga, May l6.-A movement
has been started in Georgia to raise q
handsome purse for Miss Louise Had.
ley, the Indianapolis chambermaid,
who refused to make up bed which
had been occupied by Booker Washing
ton, and was discharged for her refusal,
The citizens Of Senoia, Ga, made up a
purse for her Of $95, and it is probable
goodly sum will be realized. Many

blinded by the smoke make rush for
the doors. A woman was knocked

Use Of the regeneration Of Ireland by

stream Of emigrants from her shores.
During the past few weeks the num-
bers of young men and young women
leaving America have been above the
ordinary average, Last week nearly
1900 persons left, and advces Indicate
that at least 1000 more will leave this
week. The town Of Queenstown has
recently been teeming with immigrants
almost daily from all the provinces save
Ulster, Connaught has supplied the
largest proportion,
10 the question why they are leaving
their homes there is always tile same
answer.
"What have we to expect in Ireland?
We might be something in America;
we'll never be anything here"
Over 74O Irish emigrants left with
the Celtic last week. Seventy per cent
of them were young women, and the
remaining young men. These are the
only classes wanted in America now,
and they are the only classes who find
1t easy to land under the vigorously
cedimmigration laws Of the Uni.
ted States. A considerable proportion

from America and paid for by their
relations there.
Massachusetts, New York and Penn

bly, two.thirds of the immigrants 60.
The remainder are spread over tile
other states Of the Union. Canada,
with all its tempting offers Of free
land, has little charm for the Irish.

The Aerial SaiIboat and Track.

Terror OF the water need no longer

aration of riding on the surface OF the
foamy pillows may be INDUCED in

in the same manner as the boat Is
propelled on the surface Of the water.
The craft as she moves along will be
given motion identical with that
impaired by the waves of the ocean,
and the boat will travel along its
course, sometimes with its sail spread
out full to catch the breeze and max.
ing a straightaway dash under full
speed, and then returning by making
"tacks," In Just the same manner as
the sailboats on the water do, with
sail pulled in and the boat leaning
and dipping, ever and anon, as the
wind strikes the close-hauled sheet.

MEN DIFFER

jority Of Rooters


The new football rules proposed by the
joint committee do not meet with entire
favor In Minneapolis. Local football men
generally do not approve OF all the changes
and some do not hesitate to condemn
them in toto,
The rule providing that the quarterback
may run with the ball under certain con-
ditions is severely criticized by many old
players here. The conditions alluded to
are that the quarterback must cross the
line Of scrimmage at least 1--WE yards from
the place where the ball Is snapped, and
that this play can only be used between
the two twenty five yard lines. The OBJ
lection most frequently made against, this
rule is that 1t will give the referee too
much power In deciding whether the quar-
terback goes the requisite Ave yards from
the point where the ball was passed. Even
with five yard lines marked the long way

ability OF the head coach in the time allot-
ed him to develop an eleven of men who
play their positions Football, like college
athletics, is somewhat overridden with
committees to whom 1t has become habit
ual to look upon the game and athletics
as serious and intricate affairs. The COM
mittee has at no time given any indica-
ton that 1t believed there was real game

the game as triumph in side-stepping,
or maneuvering which can be, accom-

Of thing Until the committee discovers

DR.. Carl Williams, coach Of PennsyI-
vania, says Of the innovations:
ITO have entirely eliminated mass
plays would have taken the game back
| to it's infancy, destroyed all scientific de-
velopment and placed so great a premium
on individual ability that the smaller col
leges could have no longer successfully
competed with their greater rivals. In
other words, the keenness Of competition
gone, the game would have lost much OF
it's popularity.

Allowing the quarterback to run with

strength to the old-fashioned game, and
will give considerable opportunity for
originality in the development Of new
plays. I do not think, however that this
factor will be conducive to long passing

| one English style Of play. It would seem
| that to arbitrarily rule that the quarter
back must pass the line of scrimmage not
| nearer than five yards from the original

value Of the innovation and greatly in
crease the labor of the officials"

With respect to Minnesota, the style Of
play will have to be entirely changed, for
at present 1t consists altogether OF mass
plays. Minnesota's standing among the
western colleges, however, will not be ma
terially affected. The only question is
whether the present coach Is the right
man to develop the open play. I think
that Or. Williams will be able to rise to
the occasion.
Eastern Men Divided.
Eastern men are divided in regard to

LOU DILLON A WONDER

In some respects the most wonderful
trotting performance that has ever oo-
CURED was that Of Lou Dillon at CleyQ.
land June 16, when that mare, in an ef-
fort to beat the worlds wagon record for
trotting mares held by Lucille, 2.07, was
driven by c.. K G. Billings in 2:06A. This
is not only the fastest mile ever trotted
by mare to wagon. but it is also the
fastest first record ever taken by any
trotter either to wagon or sulky. The
performance of the daughter of Sidney
Dillon really makes her the most probable
candidate for the worlds trotting record
now before the public. That she will be
able to beat the best record for mares
now held by Alix. 2:o3A. seems almost
certain provided she meets with no mis-
hap In her training.
