The Mistakes of Unionism.

To the Editor of The Journal.
The recent action of the Minneapolis
Trades and Labor Union in placing on the
unfair list the product of Washburn-
Crosby company illustrates clearly one of
the vital mistakes being made by labor.
No Touring firm in the world has given it's
employees such high wages for as short
hours as the firm mentioned That this
firm, which has the reputation at home
and abroad. for fairness and generosity,
should be selected from others and placed
on the unfair list, is, to put the case mild
ly, manifestly unjust. Under such condi-
lions the public at large will rally to the
support CT such companies and unionism
will ultimately suffer.
Unionism. where carried out properly, is
q good thing, but actions such as the
above mentioned create in the minds Of
! the public a counter feeling which cannot
| help but be manifested.
| Minneapolis should support the product
placed under the ban as this city cannot
afford to have its chief industry damaged
even in the slightest manner. The three
great Minneapolis Touring mill companies
/ bring money to this city from every sec
| ton of the globe. Our citizens hardly re-
aIize what the Minneapolis mills have done
toward developing the greatness Of the
Lefty from a commercial standpoint. there
fore they should see to it that no one COM
pany suffers when all are equally involved

Football DemoraIlzing.

10 the tEultOI OF AHe bourudi'
Such, indeed, is the fact, and I think
that from actual knowledge and in their
hearts many will agree with me, tho they
may not have dared to openly express it..
It needs no long argument to prove the
assertion that football is the most evil
influence surrounding our youth to-day.
Football itself is debasing and demoraliz-
Ing to the team itself, but it is of the
frightful effect upon the mass of our
young people that 1 speak That football
is debasing and demoralizing to its mem
beers only have to cite out of many
such instances the all-day rowdyism pre-
yailing at Washington, D. c., when two
inferior eastern colleges played football
there, and this rowdyism extended SO that,
as the reports go, there was general fight
ing for hours among many others That
it is demoralizing to the players cannot
be disputed when we consider the drunken
and immoral sprees the teams often go
on after the season, and even during the
season after successful game. See their
low standard in scholarship, their neglect
of studies, even. 1t is a disgrace that
our college presidents and faculty permit
the debasing Of education to the idealiza-
ton of just the opposite. The praising OF
rowdyism, the encouragement of neglect
of studies-if it is done at ALL. the col
lege should be the very last place to shar-
Dor it. -Inar Galcea.

the game played both east and west. In
my sight some of the games were most
brutal, jumping, kicking. tripping, being
INDUCED in, also even sinking so low as
to come to fighting, Such a scene would
not be tolerated on an English ground for
five minutes And what surprised me
most was the fact of the game being
played between college elevens. have
seen the game played between grimy COLI
Tiers and iron workers in parts Of Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, but without one
tenth OF the brutality seen in a game be-
tween college elevens here. I think the
game can be played without such brutality
and still attract thousands of spectators.
AS gameaof football it cannot be com.
pared to, the English association game,
which is starting to gain ground In parts
Of New England and California In ASSOC
citation games you depend more on speed,
good wind and skill than mere brutal
strength. The man Of 140 pounds is gem
orally superior to the enc of 100 to 200. 1t
would make some players here stare to
see some of the first league teams play.
The way they manipulate the ball with
their feet the deXterous dribbiing and be-
wildering passing movements, also the
wonderful screw shooting at goal from eX-
treme corners with ball and man on
the move. also the fast play ball trav-
cling from goal to goal in marvellous
fashion. Never one dull moment as the
pan Is on the move from start 70 lllllSl
! The game in England requires more
stamina than the American game as the
| men have to- be on the move as hard as
| they can gallopz and the games last one
and cne-half hours, three-quarters of an
| hour each way, and the season lasts eight
| months, from Sept. to April 81. No sub
| stitutes are allowed if any member gets
/ hurt. The remainder will have to make
/ up for extra play for the other. 1t is a
game that is very plea SAINT to play and far
more spectacular than Is played here and
draws thousands more spectators.

Modify the Homestead Law.

10 the Editor OF The Journal.
AS changes seem probable in the public
land laws the idea suggests itself that the
homestead privilege be curtailed, limiting
the homestead right to eighty acres in
stead of 100 acres as at present
The purpose of the government was not
to create wealthy landlords, but rather
to provide homes for the homeless.
A large family can maintain itself in
comfort on a well cultivated farm of
eighty acres. With the eighty-acre limit
two families could be provided with good
homes and assured comforts for the fu-
ture, where but one can new be so pro-
vided under the 160-acre allowance. Lin
iting the right to the smaller tract would
lead to better methods of cultivation;
would inspire people to do well what they
undertake, and to preserve with studied
care the fertility of their lands.
Whatever may be said in truth in dis
paragement of the Mormons as a sect
1t is nevertheless true that they are a very
prosperous people. despite the fact that
they have struggled against adverse con-
ditions. 1t is shown by the census that
the average Mormon farm is but about
twenty acres IN extent, illustrating anew
the Importance of thoro cultivation rather
than the possession of large tracts in the
race for success in agriculture.
Even forty acres of good government
land Is more valuable IN dollars an4 cents
to-day than was $50 acres forty years OF
so ago when the homestead law was first
enacted.
It is the national policy to render the
greatest good to the greatest number, and
in this particular line curtailment of the
homestead privilege would be wise meas
ure, in that the chances in life>for the de.
serving homeless and needy would bt
vastly increased; and we would not bt
called upon to witness at the opening o.
pubic land tracts, the spectacle OF few
! getting more than they need, while the
many, or as many, whose hearts We're SCI
on acquiring some spot in this world they
/ could call home, are turned away empty
! handed and in despair. %. g. Wall.

NOT LIKELY
Washington Expresses Doubt of the
Governments Ability to Convict in
the Postal Fraud Case.Acquittal
of Miller and Johns Blow to the
Prosecution.
From the Journal Buresu, Colorado Building
Washington.

From tao Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 4.-There is
growing disposition in well-informed
circles in washington to regard the
failure Of the postoff1ce, department
TO secure a conviction In the case of
Miller and Johns, recently tried in
Cincinnati for alleged conspiracy, as
an indication that the governments
case against others charged with Of
lenses against the postal laws is weak
and that in the end no conviction
whatever will be secured. AS a result
of this feeling there has been; a re-
vival of the gossip concerning the
strained relations between Postmaster
General Payne and some Of his sub
ordinate officials
At the beginning of the investiga-
ton Postmaster General Payne gave
lit as his opinion that the less said
about the matter the better for all
concerned. He held that the proper
method aof dealing with those
charged with committing offenses was
to dismiss them from the govern
ment employ and not to air the matter
In the newspapers Other officials of
the department differed with Mr..
Payne and insisted that the charges
should be ventilated to the fullest ex-
tent and that nothing should be left
. undone to bring the alleged offend
ers before the bar of justice. This
view was accepted by President
| Roosevelt and as result large
number Of indictments were found
/ against various parties in and out OF
| the department.
The Miller and Johns case was
selected to come to trial first, as it
was regarded as the strongest case
which the government had, and the
accused being acquitted there is some
doubt as to whether any Of the
others will be convicted. The case
against Machen is supposed to be
the next strongest on the govern
ment list, and yet Machen's attor.
neys have failed to secure for him
a trial, the government asking that
it be postponed from time to time
In the case of Harrison J. Barrett
and former Attorney, General Tyner
the government shows no disposition
Of the elder and younger Metcalfs, ane
H. c. Ha1lenbeck; of the Wynkoop
Hallenbeck Crawford company, il
connection with the contracts fol
tprinting the money order blanks, the
| government expects to have a trial ir
this case sometime within the coming
+ year.
When it is considered that the ex.
penses Of this investigation have al.
ready aggregate over a quarter of 9
million dollars. with the end no.
where yet in sight, and that these cases
will be heard in court just before. Oh
during the next presidential campaign
with the chances greatly lin favor Of
an acquittal of all those indicted, il
seems that Postmaster General Payne
WAS justified in the position which he
took at the beginning Of the whole at

NOT A SUICIDE AT ALL !.
Tackman's Death by Hanging Believed
to Have Been Accidental.

BRIsToW. IoWA--The investiga-
ton into the manner Of the death OF
Henry Tackman, a farmer, by a COM
rnittee from the Yeomen lodge, in
which order he held an insurance pol
icy for $4,000, has. brought to light
a curious state Of fact. It was gem
orally supposed that it was a case OF
suicide, as Tackman was found hang
ing in his barn. 1t is now just as
firmly believed to have been an acct
dental death in most peculiar manner.
Tackman was found by his son, who
says his neck was surrounded by
strap in such a manner as to stra11-
gle him. His knees were almost touch
ing the floor. The strap about his neck
was attached to bride suspended
from peg on the wall He had one
hand partly in his. pocket in which
was a, knife just beyond the reach Of
his fingers, owing to his peculiar posi-
ton.
The theory Of the committee is that
he entered the stall to harness the
horse, was kicked at, lodged the blow
and slipped, catching his head in the
bride straps in the manner described.
