Personal Comment on Men and
Things in the Field Of Sports

The Endorsement of DR.. Edgar p
Smith. chairman of the athletic board
of the University of Pennsylvania. of
the course taken by Brown University
in the matter of professionalism among
college players is the talk of college
students today. IN the action referred
to Brown rescinds the rule prohibiting
men who have played baseball in the
summer for money from playing in their
next college term.
Dr. Smith is in favor of allowing q
man to play baseball on any college
team. no matter what vocation he
adopted during the summer-under one
condition. That condition is that he
must attend college one year before he
is eligible to play. In my personal opin-
ion. 1 heartily indorse the stand taken
by Dr.S Smith. There is many a young
chap working his own way through col
lege, and TO do this, he needs money to
pay for his tuition He may as well
make this money by playing ball as
serving as "a waiter In a hotel which
many college students do during the
summer. If he is a fairly good ball
player. he will earn at least seven or
eight times as much money as he would
as waiter. End there is no reason
why he should not do so. The fact
that he has to attend the college at
which he intends playing baseball for
one year before he is allowed to break
into the game should be ample proof
that he Is attending College for the pur-
pose primarily OF securing an education.
If he desires 70 play ball In his second
year. he should be at liberty TO do so.
As 1t now Is, however. every spring
there Is a rumpus raised about some
man being professional ball player
and in the fall the same thing applies
20 football Consequently. every per-
son of authority in every college puts
his finger in the pie, and there is con-
fusion. Much Of this would be done
AWAY with IL the policy Instituted by
Brown were adopted, and a man should
be forbidden 10 play after he has grad
uated from one Of the big colleges or
universities Then there would be no
grounds upon which to register kick.
II the boxing association formed ct
Detroit shou.i become a national or
ganization. It would prove an excellent
thing for pugilism In this country. be-
cause OF the present controversy over
the scale of weights. The standard. or
rather supposedly standard. American
scale OF weights is as follows: Ban

NEW STEEL TO RAYMOND.
Union Pacific Progress With Track
Improvement Work.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 10.-The Union
Pacific steel gang reached Raymond
last night with the heavier rails, COM
plotting good track from Valley on the
main line to Raymond. Behind the
steel gang the section men are surface
ing over the new ties and between the
new rails. 1.-THE new rails make the
old ones look like fence WIRE" said a
man who had observed the work.
Sixty-five pound steel is being laid.
The gap to be filled is between Ray
mond and Princeton South of Prince
ton the company has new track and
heavy rails. The progress so far made
indicates that the work may be fin
ished this winter, and that by the
time the double track work in Kansas
is finished and the Marysville- Topeka
cutoff is built the Nebraska line will
be ready to receive the volume of
heavy traffic that both main lines are
expected to furnish it.
Via the Marysville-Topeka cutoff the
new mileage to Kansas City should
be about 220 miles and 153 miles to
Topeka.
Some railroad men profess to be-
lieve that the heading off of Bur1ing-
ton improvements by the Union Pa
ciffc at Stromsburg means that the
company will build out of that place to
the main line west during the COM
ing season.

sPEYER s co. DENY.
Information Given Out That Bankers
Did Not Name Loree.

The New York Evening Post says:
Dispatches from Chicago, published in
this mornings papers, gave out a new
version of the resignation of President
Loree from the Rock Island, to the eff
feet that he had been originally named
in Difference to the wishes of Speyer &
Co, who were bringing out part of the
$163 000, 900 proposed Rock Island bond
issue; but that now the Moore party
in Rock Island had becOr1s financially
Independent of the bankers and had ac-
cordingly broken with L.oree.
This story completely misapprehend-
ed many important facts. Speyer &
Co. refused to discuss it today, but
from a perfectly trustworthy source it
was learned today that the appoint
ment of L. F. Loree as president of the
system was made entirely on the indi-
vidual judgment of the Rock Island
management. 1t was pointed out that
ers of the Rock Island, had been asso-
ciated with L. F. Loree in the service
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and that
the selection of L. T. Loree as president
was ascribed at the time of his Selec-
ton to the confidence of the Rock Is
land management in the known ability
of Mr.. Loree as railroad official.
1t was also stated that Speyer & Co.
had never undertaken to finance the
$163, 000, 900 Rock Island bond issue, and
that therefore there could be no occa-
sion for the assertion that the Rock
Island owners had become independent
of Speyer & Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co. de-
MED another report that they had been
requested to undertake the manage
ment of the finances of the Rock Island
system.

MUST VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Dowie breaches Political Sermon tc
His Followers.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Apostolic de-
nunciation of the Democratic party,
it's principles, its candidate for presi-
dent, and it's individual adberents, and
praise for President Roosevelt and his
party, were thundreded by John Alex
ander Dowie at Zion City in the first
official message delivered by the first
high priest on earth
To an audience of 5000 persons,
sweltering for three hours in Shiloh
tabernacle, the first apostle con-
demned Democrats as the scum OF
the earth,'' and instructed his thou
sands of followers to vote for Roose-
welt as the "grandest man of the
hour"
With the sermon came the an
nouncement of the "theocratic party
promulgated by the general overseer
to overthrow government "of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people,
replacing it by a divine system of ad-
ministration that is later to control
this country and finally the whole
world, wiping out republics, Kingdoms
and other present governmental
forms.
"a vote for the Prohibition party
is a vote for the Democrats, shouted
Dowie, "and a vote for the Democratic
party is one for the brewer and dis
tilIer.
Parker is prodigal son. He
comes back after eating the swine
huslxs of the silverites for eight years,
and because of his return he immedi-

gold platform. He merely has COM
mitted himself to say that the coun-
try is committed to that financial
plank He is still the prodigal son,
but in diguise."
All the Zionites repeated and vocif-
erously promised to vote as Dowie
wished.

Santa Fe the Source Of Knowledge

post in New Mexico organized a Sum
day school for the children of soldiers.
Until the catechisms came he had his
own questions. He decided to begin
with the Lords prayer.
How many" he inquired the first
morning, know the Lords prayer?
A prolonged silence. Then one little
girl, timidly raised her hand.
'Only one who knows it," exclaimed
the chaplain in genuine surprise. You
may repeat it, Anna
Anna repeated it quietly and correct

100000 People
Have Asked us to Buy Them SOC Liquozone.

disease germ that it cannot kill The
reason is that germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone-like an excess of oxy-
GEMS deadly to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value of Liquo-
ozne. It is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
is a poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless in
any germ disease. 1t is this fact that
gives Liquozone it's worth to humanity.
And that worth is so great that, latter
testing the product for two years,
through physicians and hospitals, we
paid $780, 900 for the American rights.
