We would like to draw attention to
some recent Misrepresentation In the
Journal of the 9Th inst. a few lines
from your Washington bureau mentioned
Hans Selands Introduction to the presi-

also been done before on his visit here,
as the famous Norwegian author" While
there is no objection to Mr.. Seland, who
is very good in his way, especially as
teller Of stories in dialect he never was
we say that with certainty, either con-
sidered a great or famous author in
Norway or in any other country.
When poor and small nation, with
very little to boast of, happens to pos
sess four great living authors it cannot
afford to be misrepresented. Henrik Ib-
sen, Bjornstjerne Bjornson Jonas Lie and
Alexander Kielland are the really great
authors of Norway; besides, there are at
least ten who without being considered
famous either by themselves or Others
rank above Mr.. Seland in public opinion
Norway is at present flooded with writer's

A Force for Civic Righteousness.

Carter Harrison claims that the
Chicago city council is as high-grade
in respect to the character of it's mem
bers as any legislative body in the
country, and he declines to make any
exceptions. Seven years ago Chicago
had city council which had taken
every degree in the order Of municipal
corruption and, indeed, had estab-
ltshed few advanced degrees to
which only the occult could aspire
During the short period that has
interviewed there has been at work
in Chicago a citizens organization
after which our Minneapolis Voters
league Is modelled. 1t is not claimed
that the present city council Of Min
! neapolis Is like that of Chicago seven
years ago, but it has some weak spots,
and If the Minneapolis league shall
develop the same capacity along the
same lines pursued by the Chicago
! league our city council should have
no weak spots in 1t.
The Minneapolis league is starting
out well. 1t is proceeding carefully
and is already recognized in political
circles as an institution that must be
taken seriously. The Chicago league
has given the voters of that city a
size-up of the aldermanic candidates
prior to each election, indorsing where
the candidate was worthy, or, where
a full Endorsement could not be given,
indicating which candidate was least
Objectionable.
The Minneapolis league expects to
investigate carefully the fitness of
candidates for the council and proba-
bly, for the board Of county commits
sioners and publish their findings for
tho benefit of honest voters who want
to know for whom to vote, but who
do not always know which candidate
is deserving Of their support. The
Chicago league has been exceedingly
4 frank in it's exposure of the unworthy,
and the Minneapolis league will prob
ably be equally so. They will not
leave the voter the excuse for sup
porting bad candidate, that he did
not know any better.
The league will proceed upon the
theory, which should govern in mu-
nicipal affairs, that partisan politics
should cut no figure in the selection of
local officers and the administration
of municipal affairs. We believe this
theory will be, generally approved and
adopted in Minneapolis. 1t receives
practically the unanimous support OF
the press of Chicago.
What has been so we'll done in
Chicago may be expected to produce
still better results here without going
beyond the council, because many
Of the administrative as we'll as legis-
: lative functions are vested in the
council, under our charter.
t The political leaders who manage
: local politics will recognize the neces.
7 sity under this program of seeing thai
> their candidates can pass muster with
t the league, and we shall probably SEE

Western democrats manifest dispo-
sition to smoke out Judge Parker. They
say he may be all right as the democratic
candidate, but who knows? His opinions
on public questions have not yet been
discovered. What his attitude would be
toward the trusts and the tariff and to-
ward other live issues has not yet been
indicated. The western democrats begin
to feel that they may be given gold
brick, and some definite declaration of
principles by the New York candidate
is insisted upon so strenuously that it
would seem as If the judge would have
to say something.

WO0DB|NE wins GAME
Defeats Our Boys in Game
Last Saturday.
WooDBINE PLAYS ROTTEN.
In The Face of Dirty Treatment and
Against the Rottenest Kind of Team
Denison Was Defeated 27 toe.

The Denison High school played a
game of football at Woodbine last Sat-
urday with the Woodbine Normal
school and were defeated by the score
of q to 6. 1t was the intention to
play Carroll High school on that dav,
but for some reason the Carroll team
had been disorganized and was unable
to fill the date,
Itwas not until late hour that the
game with Woodbine was arranged.
as the babies down there insisted that
they should be allowed to play man
not student of the school. In order
to secure game, however, they finally
agreed to play strictly Normal school
team.
The game did not commence until
about five o'clock, as basket ball game
took up the time until four The re-
naming hour was spent by Woodbine
in squabbling and patching up team
which would be qualified to play under
the contract.
When the score stood l2 to in favor
of Woodbine it was discovered that
Woodbne had sneaked into their line
up one of the very men who had been
ruled out at the beginning of the game.
When attention of the referee was call
to this matter he Immediately awarded
| the game to Denison on account of the
| violation of contract by the Normal
team. This caused Woodbine to raise
a great howl and lot of the town
sports crowded around Prof. Hum
phreys and threatened to take away
from him the expense money which
had been advanced.
After lot more beefing and whining
on the part OF Woodbine our boys
finally consented to finish the game
But the game was by no means a
clean Que. The spectators were al
lowed to swarm over the side lines ard
crowd up around the players more or
less, and in the confusion Woodbine
often had twelve men playing instead
of eleven, the regular number.
Prof. Humphreys wishes it under.
stood that the instructors of thesWood-
bine Normal are by no means responsi-
BILE for the rotten playing of their team,
except that they have allowed the or
ganization to pass completely from un-
der their control and have still permit
ted il TO retain its name as the Normal
school team.
In the face of the treatment (which
they received our boys conducted them
selves in perfectly gentlemanly man
ner. and Denison has reason to feel
proud of them. The instructors of the
Normal school realized this and COM
mented number of times on the fine
spirit which our boys displayed.
In playing the game our boys made
their mistake in nearly always kicking
to Woodbine, thus giving them posses.
sion of the ball most of the.time. II
must be acknowledged that Woodbine
has fast and furious team, but when
our boys had the ball they had no troub
le in making good gains both on enc
runs and on line smashes, and they
were never held for downs.
Next Saturday they will !play,Jeffer
son high school on the home grounds
Everybody should be out to witness the
game.
