FOOTBALL 400 YEARS AGO,
It Was Friendly Kind of Fight and
 Bloody Practice.

From the K. s. U Graduate Magazine. Professor Phelps of Yale has made a study of early football with especial ref roughness of the game. One of the most remarkable of these protests Is found in the "Anatomie of Abuses" written In 1888 by Philip Stubbs, Puritan. This protest, quoted from Professor Phelps paper, Is given below, and may give com fort to those who believe that football is becoming less brutal:
 For as concerning football playing, I protest until you 1t may rather be called friendly kinde of fight than a play or recreation; a bloody and murtherng proc tise, than felowly sporte or pastime. For dooth not query one lye in waight for his aduersarie, seeking to ouerthrow him & to picke him on his nose. though it be upon hard stones? In ditch or dale, in valley or hil, or what place sooner it bee. hee careth not, so he haue him down. And he that can serue the most of this fashion, he is counted the only fellow, and who but her so by this meanes, some- time their necks are broken, sometime their backs, sometime their legs, some- time their armes, sometime one part thrust of of joint, sometime another Sometime the noses gush out with blood. sometime their eyes start out; and some- time hurt in one place. sometimes hurt in another, But whosieuer scapeth away the best. goeth not scot free, but is either sore wounded, craised and bruised so that hAx hax t1,o sleights to meet one betwixt two, to dash him against the hart with their elbows, to hit him under the short ribbes with their griped fists. and with their knees to catch him vpon the hip. and to pick him on his neck, with hundred such murdering deuices; and hereof groweth enuy, malice, rancour. cholor, hatred. dis pleasure, enmitie, and what not els; and sometimes fighting, crawling contention. quarrel picking, murther, homicide and great effusion of blood as experience daly teachath

J. W. Worthington.

If there be any one man in the state who dislike public notice of his movement and achievements as a developer it is j.. w. Worthington, yet he has spent years of endeavor for the development of the state and-this service is worthy of recog- milton by the public. After accomplish ment of valuable work in the Birmingham district he has turned his attention to the Tennessee valley and is now engaged in the development of the natural resources of that favored section
 Mir. Worthington was in Birmingham yesterday but declined to be interviewed. The writer, however, knows of his work and the public is entitled to the same in- formation. Mir. Worthngton is the nov ing spirit now seeking to unite the cities of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia, by all public utilities, and his efforts are go- ing to make one great city of the three. The plan has heretofore been published in the columns of the Age-Herald and the movement is one which will rebound to the wealth and glory of the state.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-12-01

from the Birmingham district, but not a dollar that this company has made has been dollar more than it has de- served when 1t is remembered how liberal it has been in aiding develop ment here. And what the Louisville and Nashville has done for Birming- ham in the past and what it is doing today shows what it can be counted on to do in the future. The Louisville and Nashville set the fashion, and all the other lines entering here are now keeping pace.
 Ten years ago the majority of the railroads of the country were eramped financially and many of them were in the hands of receivers. Today there are no railroad receiverships. Every line is in excellent physical condition and is in position to operate more economically than ever before, Since there is so much accumulated capital in the United States, and since the railroad interests are in such splendid shape, any business depression in the future will be of small concern and short duration as compared with pe- riods of depression in the past.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-12-01
Public Spirit.

The spirit of cooperation in Birming' ham is becoming manifest and the value of cooperation is being appre- ciated as it never was before. Up to recent years there was very little pub lie spirit here. The city was too young. Every man thought he had all he could do to look out for himself and few had the means or could take the time to participate in movements to push the city's development and to make Bir- mingham's importance known and felt.
 Today the business men of Birming- ham are well-conditioned. Many Of them have grown rich and most of them can spare time to do work along the lines of public spirit. Cooperation and public spirit will come very near making a city of only ordinary re- sources an attractive and prosperous city. When public spirit is developed In an exceptionally favored city like Birmingham, the result is most telling and far-reaching.
 Business men owe it to themselves to give their own interests first consid' eration, of course, but there is hardly any merchant or manufacturer who can not afford to devote some of his time to the community's interests. Co-opera- tion Goes not require much time. The spirit is what is chiefly needed.
 The Commercial club has done good work for Birmingham in years gone by and it is now in a position to accom- plish better things than ever. Presi- dent Fred M Jackson will never stop drumming for new members until every white man in the city is enrolled or gives valid reason why he can not be. The club is an institution that will naturally develop an atmosphere of public spirit and there is no busi- ness or professional man so poor that he cannot join and contribute dollar a month toward it's maintenance and expansion. A thousand men eager to see the city grow can, by banding to- gether in a commercial organization, dO wonders and MT Jackson will not rest until the Commercial club has a thousand members.
 Cooperation must be Birmingham s watch word.

Matter of Investment.

At Atlanta's Chamber of Commerce banquet last week one of the speakers told this story as an illustration of how community was benefited by small manufacturing plants and how at the same time the money invested in in- dustriat enterprise yields large re- turns.
 Three brothers, A, B and c, inner. ited each $50,000. A invested his in business property which netted per cent-s4000. B invested in securities which paid per cent-$3000. c used his $50,000 in building and equipping a manufacturing establishment He gave employment to 100 men representing about five hundred people who were fed and clothed on the wages earned. The money paid to the workmen was spent in the community and many of the supplies for the manufactory were DOuSHt III tuC V ulu d business of $15O,OO0 a year on which he cleared 10 per cent-$15,000. So 0 not only earned more than twice as much as A and combined, but he proved himself the best sort of public benefactor.
 Atlanta owes a large part of it's pros perity to its small industries, and the story told at the banquet was there fore based on familiar experience. What is true in Atlanta Is true in Bir- mingham and every other city we'll located from an industrial point of view. Money invested in real estate in growing city always yields good re- turns, but there are greater profits in small manufacturing plants, to say nothing of the payrolls and the number of people that are fed.

The Postal Scandals.

Those persons who have kept up with the postoffice department scan- dals as the investigations proceeded and were made public are pretty well informed touching the details of the wholesale graft business of A. w. Machen and number of other trusted officials of the department. The brief of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral J. S. Bristow, on the result of the investigations, just published, exeites renewed interest in the scandals and causes wrathful expressions on the part of the people.
 Not since the government reeked with corruption in the years following closely the civil war has there been evidence of such systematic and ex- tensive frauds as have come to light in the postoffice department. The gov ernment has been robbed of large sums Tn the way Of unlawful commissions and other forms of graft.
 Machen had passed through two con gressional investigations, but so in- genius were his methods of deception that he came out with clean bills from the Investigating committees. After that he grew more reckless, until, as MT. Bristow puts it, "the atmosphere became charged with suspicion" and the investigation just concluded was ordered.
 With the rascals detected and turned out, the department will doubtless be free from grafters for some years to come, but it will be long while before it recovers from this disgrace.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-12-01
That Panama Coup.

Tt seems that many well informed and thoughtful citizens of this country do not fully realize the enormously radical step the Roosevelt adminlstrati ton took in that Panama transaction" said a distin- guished public man the other day.
 If the powers at Washington had only recognized Panama as a republic de fac tor there might have been some excuse, but the recognition was full and unequivo- cal. declaring 1t a republic de jure as well Not only that the ordering of our naval ships to those waters to prevent the movements of Colombian troops in de- ises was not only a casus belli, but an act of war itself. It seems to me that the sudden strenuous movement was the most remarkable act ever recorded in Am erican history. It was a demonstration of that spirit of commercialism which is so sincerely threatening the future of this country. It was avaricious and blood thirsty. It was recognition of the right of secession against which this country, and especially the republican party, fought at such cost of money and blood.
 And before it all the powers of the old world bow in humble submission and dare not interfere. Had these powers come together as they did in Berlin thirty years ago. and formed an alliance, they might have said to us:. We respect your Monroe doctrine and international law recognizes it, but that law does not grant you the power to interfere with the weaker republic of the western hemis- phere and we protest'" Y"

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
Beckham of Kentucky.

T notice" said a Kentuckian in one of the hotels last night, that democrat ic leaders and newspapers throughout the country have of late been proposing names for the next Presidential ticket Of course the east must have the head of the ticket, and since Cleveland's absolute refusal to allow his name used. German, Parker and olney seem the three from which Presidential timber must be chosen.
 Now, why not turn to Kentucky for Vice-President and select John c. W. Beckham, the young leader who has just been reelected governor Of that state over one of the wealthiest, eleanest, brainiest and strongest republicans in the whole country? Belknap is power in Kentucky, yet he was overthrown by the brilliant Beckham, who, by the way, is only 8 years old. Say what you may, but you must count KentucKy as one of the doubtful states in a Presidential con- test, therefore Kentucky must receive at- tention at the hands of both parties. Beckham is a brainy young man, having inherited much of his strength from his Grandfather Wickliffe, who was once the honored governor of the state. To be the recognized leader of the democratic party in Kentucky, where there is so much brain, and that, too, at the early age of 8, marks Beckham as a most re- markable man. His name IS surely worthy of consideration in this connec- tion."
