Reed Smoot in the United States Senate
1t appeals to every individual who is

to write to the Senator of the State in

retaining as a law-maker for the land a
man who owes allegiance to a hierarchy
and can only hold his political position
through its contest; who is himself an
apostle in church which makes marriage
essential to a woman's salvation, which
embodies polygamy in its tenets, and
without doubt encourages it's practice. A
high official in an organization sanction
ing such practices is responsible for them,
and is not fit sa w-breaker to be a
law-maker for others.

TRYTO GETAFREEL LIST
Agent of Morning Post Offers to Give
Away Subsidized Sheet and the Good
People of Greensboro Dechne to be
Contaminated With 1t.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, N c., Nov. 2S.-Again dis
pairing in its efforts to get people to pay
for it. the Morning Post is making itself
the laughing stock of Greensboro by at
tempting to get people to accept it as
present with guarantee that there will
be no charge.
The Post cannot secure sufficient bona
fide subscription here, so an agent has been
canvassing for a list of people who will
agree to receive the paper free through the
mails. The agent of the Post does not
know me and 1 was surprised yesterday
afternoon when he entered the office of
one of the most prominent men in this
paper, and gave me an illustration of how
they obtain the few names which COM
pose their subscription list.
Couldn't trouble two good men and
the agent.
mo, was the reply.
Cant l donate it to you. Can't make
you present of it till January 1st?" he
pleaded.
The gentleman nudged me to silence,
and replied to the agent
Don't know about that. If it's to be
a 2resent and without COST
What name?' asked the agent eagerly
And the name being given he went his
way rejoicing, remarking gratefully,
Thank you. SIR
The gentleman remarked that he al
lowed the agent to take his name just to
afford me an opportunity to see for my
self the methods resorted to by the Morn
ing Post to get names on their list.
This IS one case in many noted here
where the Post is offered free. but in
nearly every instance the offer is de-
clined.
Greensboro is one of the thriftiest cities
in the South and has free-thinking, hon.
est and successful population. They do
not intend to permit the entrance of the
Post into their homes, and consequently
the free offer was accepted by only very
small number.
The News and Observer has more sub
scribers in Greensboro than any other daily
published in this State, with the excep-
tion of the two Greensboro papers, the
Telegram and the Record, and there are
sends more papers to paying subscribers
in Greensboro than the Post sends to it's
entire free list In this city.
Apropos CT the foregoing is a story told
by a gentleman who came down from
Greensboro on Southern Railway train
No. 1856 yesterday afternoon.
The Union news agent on tha, train
had no left over copies of the News and
Observer but had a bundle of Morning
Posts. One man on the train wished a
News and Observer and would not ac-
cept the Post as substitute Finally
the news agent found a gentleman who
had finished reading his News and O5ser-
yer and secured that copy for man number
one. The news agent was asked if he met
that situation often and what was the
comparative sales. He replied that he
could sell ten or fifteen copies of The
News and Observer to single copy Of
the organ of the railroad and trust.

Asa Social Function It's
Dazzling.
BUTAS FOOTBALL, UGH!
Two Wretched FumbIes in Rapid Suc-
cession Gave the Navy Their Only
Score---The Final Figures
Were Forty to
Five.
lBy the Associated Press

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 28.-In one of
ball games ever witnessed on Franklin
field, the West Point eleven today de-
feated the Annapolis team by the score
of 40 to 5. Two miserable fumbes in
rapid succession gave the Navy their only
score. AS a football game it was a dis
NAL failure but as society function,
it was a glorious success Seated III
boxes around the field were Secretary
Root, Secretary Moody, Lieutenant Gen
eral S. M. B. Young, Major General and
Mrs. Chaffee, Major General Brooke, Cen
eral Miles, Major General Henry c. Cor
bin and many other persons prominent
in army and naval circles.
The army occupied the south stand
and the navy the north stand. During
the intermission between the halves, Sec
retary Root and General o-affee crossed
the ield TO the Navy's side and were
given a warm reception by the cadets
in center section.
The Navy won the toss and chose the
west goal with slight wind at their
backs. In less than ten minutes play
they had scored their only points. Graves
kicked to the Navys Is yard line and
Howard returned the punt. A tumble
gatve the Navy the ball on the Army's
45 yard line. After two attempts to gam
through the West Point line, Howard
kicked to the Army's Is yard line On
the first play there was another tumble
in the Army line and Strassburger fell
on the ball. Chambers was then called
upon to try a goal from placement for the
Navy. 1t was very difficult angle, but
the ball sailed straight between the posts
and the cheering section of the Navy
stand simply went wild. Caps, canes.
megaphones and almost everything move
able within reach was thrown in the air,
while on the opposite side of the field
the Army boys were very quiet. Their
gloom was soon dispelled, however, for
within a few minutes the Army had
crossed the Navy's goal line. On an
exchange of kicks, West Point secured
the ball on the Navys 80 yard line on
tumble. The heavy West Pointers then
tore big holes in the Annapolis line and
soon pushed Hill over for touchdown.
Graves kicked the goal. Three minutes
later West Point again got the ball on
the Navy's yard line on a tumble by
Strassburger. Davis was showed over for
the second touchdown and Thompson
kicked goal. There were several ex
changes of kicks and West Point secured
the ball on the Navy's so yard mark. On
the next play Prince broke through the
Annapolis line by beautiful lodging and
scored a third touchdown. Doe kicked
the goal and the half ended moment
later.
In the second half the Army went
through the lighter line of the Navy al
most at will. In every scrimmage there
was some Annapolis man laid and Cap
tain Soule and Left Guard Chambers
were so badly injured that they had to
be carried from the field.
A few minutes before time was called,
Doe dropped a pretty goal from Mace
ment.
The teams lined up as follows:
