not what can be done to mitigate 1t.
The Chicago Tribune reports 10 deaths
resulting from it this year, and $50
cases OF severe injury" Of the dead
moro than half were schoolboys.
THE commonest Of the injuries was
broken collar-bone. which is not a very
serious hurt. The same day these fig

of a railroad accident in Massachu-
sets. with 20 resulting deaths and 40
Injuries. We certainly do not mind
killing and manning in this country
provided the end or the circumstances
in any wise warrant it. Football may
be we'll worth some annual sacrifice
of life and limb. The railroads kill
and MAIN. So do the automobiles;
SO do the factories; so do dynamite
and blasting powder; so do runaway
horses. We tolerate them all in spite
of their dangers, and we cannot con-
denim football merely because it is
a risky sport. Perhaps it is worth
what It costs. A good many good
Judges think that it is. Nevertheless,
to the general public, the game under
present rules seems too dangerous, too
rough, too intense and engrossing.
Nearly all the mOralists and many of
the parents and teachers agree that
il has got out of bounds and ought to
be restrained. That 40 odd thousand
people should gather to see any sport
is regarded with conjunction by
good many observers, and that 40 odd
college boys should risk their necks
and limbs and devote large shares of
time and strength to the entertainment
of such shouting thousands is thought
to be matter for substantial depreca-
ton There is thought to be too much
of the Slaughter-t to- ma kc-a Roman
holiday about it. The great Harvard
stadium is disliked by some critics as
rejecting Over-much the spirit of the
Roman empire. And yet, the Greeks,
the most highly civilized people the
world has seen yet, took a lively in
terest in sports, and would have
thought it no scandal to crowd forty
thousand strong to football games, nor
would they have thought the price the
players pay too dear. The football
question is not easy. We shall, doubt
less see Il more earnest effort than
usual of the Rules Committee to modi-
fy the game, but the game will go on
on some basis. What needs amend
ment even more than the rules is the
spirit in which the game is played. Ii
that is right, the rules are a second
ard matter. If that is brutal. no rules
can make the game what it should be-
though sound rules rigidly enforced
may minimize its mischiefs.

Maine Coming to Its Own.

Evidences are constantly 'ccuiiu
iating to uphold the assertion .ilill inc
state of Maine is at last coming INTO
it's own rightful Inheritance.
Practically these evidences are Oh
the most tangible sort. Included among
them are such facts as these: The eX-
tension of the railway systems due TO
the rapid development OF our aericui-
tural and our manufacturing interests;
the increasing use of our vast water
power systems in connection with the
building of pulp and paper plants;
the extension of electric railroads and
OF the uses of electricity In pubic
lighting and power; new knowledge
of the value of our granite, slate, lime
and other geologic formations; the
great value of our timber resources;
the wonderful development OF the agri-
culture of our northeastern counties
of AroOstook, Penobscot, Washington
and Piscataquis; the appreciation OF
the beautiful scenery. delightful sum-
mer climate and perfected railroad
facilities, which have caused our state
to become the summer resort and
|health- giving playground FOR the
thousands of people who Visit II every
summer from half way across the con-
tinent and from the Atlantic and mid
Atlantic states, for recreation ana
health.
These are practical examples. In
other directions the evidences OF
Names Renaissance are found in the
books written about her, not only by
Maine authors but by those yet more
famous: the return of native sons long
absent, but who have come back to re-
joice with others in Names new pros
perity; the building of free public Ii
braries all over Maine, from Aroostook
to York; the larger attendance of
scholars at our Maine colleges and at
our state university of those young
men and women who formerly went
from Maine to receive Il scientific or
technical education. and the many.
many instances in which Names adj
vantages and resources are made the
subject of public lectures and ad-
dresses which are like good seed on
good soil to advertise Maine to the

This is election day in the city of
Boston. and there is widespread inter-
est over the result of the mayoralty
contest in that city. The fight is a
complicated one owing to the facti that
there is a bad split in the Democratic
ranks as the result of a bitter fight pre-
ceding the nomination, and, moreover.
one of the Republican candidates for
the nomination is running as an indie
pendent candidate. In these times,
Boston is nominally a Democratic city
by large margin. but. this year, the
prospect seems bright that the city will
do itself the honor of electing Froth-
insham, the Republican nominee
whose public record. personal character
and general ability give him great ad-
vantage over the Democratic nominee
and have won for him all the indie.

Another Triumph in the North.

For centuries the problem Of the So
called northwest passage has puzzled
explorers and navigators. and the dis
covcry Of such passage has been an
object sought after almost as per-
sistcntly as the discovery of the North
pole itself. According to the announce
ment which comes by way of Alaska
and Seattle. a plucky Norwegian, Rom
aid Amundsen, in a little 20 ton vessel
the Gjoa, has at last won this prize.
The information is thus far meagre
and indefinite. but it appears that
Amunsden, who has had considerable
earlier experience in both Arctic anu
Antarctic explorations. started from
Greenland and worked his way through
devious passages, following the routes
of Franklin Ross and other explorers,
and then by other straits beyond the
points reached by them to Herschel
island, and thence to the Alaskan
coast
or course no commercial profit or
promise attaches to Amunsdeh
achievement but it is a most interest
ing thing from geographical ana
scientific point of view. and 1t is much
satisfactior to those who are still bat
fling with the foes and forces of the
Arctic to know that such barrier has
been carried. 1t make the day OF
complete victory seem much nearer
the victory which we in this country
are counting upon Peary to win for the
world. The expedition of Amunsden
was made in the face of perils and
difficulties which made the possibility
of success very remote, and that a
Norwegian has won the prize so vain
~ sought by others for centuries IS
something of which Scandinavians may
well be proud.
incidentally, and no less important
than the long journey through a hith-
erto UNEMPLOYED and uninhablted
region. is the location of the mag
nctic pole by Amunsden. AS for
the magnetic polo, let it not be
confused with the North pole for
it is pretty nearly 5000 miles south
of that wild object of search. Inc
magnetic pole has been assumed to be
near the point where Sir James Ross in
1881 round that the magnetic needle
took ii nearly vertical position, that Is,
in the edge of the peninsula of Boothla
Felix. 1t was not a matter of assur-
.ucc. because it is believed that there
is IL shifting of the magnetic influence,
and that may and probably does cover
:: wide area. So that if Amundsen
has Determined the exact center, he mas
solved one Of the interesting Arctic
probIcms, and indeed the most interest
ing Of all 1t was very near this DIS
covcry Of Ross that the ill-Starred Sir
John Franklin ended his expedition,
in Ercbus hay. which bears the name
of his ship Erebus. We get no state
meut of Amundscn's location of the
magnetic pole, and further information
viii be awaited with great curiosity.
