CORNHUSKERS TO

Giant Negro Freshman Will

Lincoln, Neb, Oct. S0.-Nebraska UNIVERSE
ty's enforcement Of the conference rule against
freshmen, whereby athletic peace is assured
with Minnesota, is by the process of elimina-
ton rather than by statute The rule permitting
freshmen to play is still In force, as the by
laws governing the conduct Of the athletic
board cannot be amended except at a regular
monthly meeting, and the next session does
not come until two days after the Minnesota
game. Not wishing to invite an open rupture
DR.. Lees, chairman of the board, and Coach
Booth cast up their list Of players eligible for
the Minnesota game. They will leave freshmen
off the roll.
Nebraska used only one freshman Taylor,
the giant negro guard, in the Michigan game,
is the oss ps preyas plans
decision. 1t seems quite likely that the same
course will be pursued as to the Thanksgiving
game with Illinois, which, aside from Min
| nesota, is the only conference team the corn
huskers are to play. In all of the other games
on Nebraska's schedule, Taylor will be eligible
and it is strongly probable that he will appear
| in the lineup at one Of the guards.
Taylor's removal from the list for the Min.
nesota game means that Booth must develop
two guards, as he has become convinced
that neither Nelson Rice, who have been
alternating opposite to Taylor, has been able
to show satisfactory form. Booth has filed
one Of the guard gaps by. the transfer of
Cotton from right tackle. For the other guard,
| jenkins, member of the scrub squad for two
| seasons, has been called into action. jenkins
| is slightly lacking in beef, but he has aggres
siveness and football sense, two qualities which
commend him to Booth. The coach, however
| Is still holding to Nelson, who may yet develop
| as lack of experience is one of his chief short
| comings. Cotton and Jenkins were both used
| by Booth In the game last Saturday against

a wide margin.

THINGS SEEN IN WASHINGTON.

Harriet Qumby in Leslie's Weekly.
 Human nature varies. On train speed ing toward Washington man spoke courteously and in low voice. although be used vernacular and accent which distinguished him as a child of the pee pie: Pardon me, miss-your waist 10 coming undone at the back. and I'm sure you'd like to know-just pull your Jacket over a little and it'll oe all right" and he passed on with never another word or look-a diamond in the rough. In Wash ineton I saw conductor on sreet car get off to help an elderly woman out. He lifted her grandchild off the steps and, retrrned to the car, brought large basket filled with vegetables which he carried as far as the curb. He had never seen the woman before-she was only a nassenged, and he was representative
 washington conductor. There could De rothina more out of place than step lively conductor in the capital city.

Lyuchinu Before Federal Courts.

The Higgins case continues to attract, attention in the papers of the country. Higgins has been denied a writ Of .habeas corpus, but the United States supreme court declined to discuss the essence of the contention. It was con tent to declare the application for writ of habeas corpus irregular, and Higgins must therefore be tried ln Huntsville before Judge Jones and 2 federal jury upon the indictment al ready found.
 Judse Jones did not base his action in dismissing the writ of habeas corpus so much upon the clause of the Four teenth amendment. which declares that no state shall deny to any person with in its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, as he did upon that other clause of the Fourteenth amendment which says that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
 Naples, a negro, was in jail at Hunts vile awaiting trial when a mob took him out of the courthouse and hung him. He had killed an aged peddler, an old Confederate soldier Higgins was indicted for conspiracy by fed eral grand jury on the ground that he was a member of the mob that de- prived Naples of the benefits of due process of law" To deprive a man Of due process" Is in Judge Jones' mind crime against the fourteenth amend ment.
 The question Is a grave one. The Revised Statutes of the United States provide for the punishment of any one engaged in conspiracy to injure person "in the exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured 10 him by the constitution or laws of the United States" Is due process" such a right? Can an individual act be cot,- sidered a state act?
 It is such questions as these that the supreme court evaded. Why 1t evaded tbep, twill never he known It is known however, that it had an opportunity to decide them, and did not do 1t.

Why |, in this weak piping time of
Fire Protection in Birmingham.

The preliminary report Of the South eastern Tariff association concerning Birmingham's fire protection Is as d whole reassuring. While it criticlses and recognizes the difficulties of the situation, it shows no desire to be un- duly exaeting.
 The insurers and the insured, as well as the city authorities, are cooper ating in an effort to bring the fire fight ing equipment and safeguards up to efficiency. and no set of men is en- deavoring to load up any other set with blame.
 The new equipment contracted Tor will be in use, some of 1t In thirty days and the remainder In sixty days, and the insurance committee is satis- fled that other needful reforms will naturally and logically follow until Bir- mingham's fire protection is brought up to a high standard.

Silk Skirts in Court.

Silk skirts at $l6.50 apiece have been held by Kansas City judge to be luxuries. or, at any rate, not necessities of life, with which it Is the duty of the husband to keep his wife supplied. The judge who tried the case said in the course of his decision that his own wife was happy even in society when wear ing skirts that cost no more than $3 each. and the plaintiff was thrown out of court. A wife in that city had, it should be stated. purchased over a counter skirt for $16.50. She had 1t charged to her husband, lacking as she did at that time currency to meet the demand of the merchant on the spot.
 It is the duty of the husband to fur nlsn his wife, not simply with the necessities of life, but with the things that go with the position in society in which he places her and desires her to be. This may not be common law in nansas City, but it is common sense everywhere, and no doubt the courts would as a rule hold that all expendi- lures of wne within an environment created by her husband would have to be paid by him and not by herself.
 Kansas City law Is not, in other words, necessarily law elsewhere. Skirts at s165O per may or may not be what wife has right to buy. That is indeed great moral question. and its application Is as various as condi- tions and circumstances in this world are. outside of course of Kansas City. where three-dollar skirts have been declared a maximum allowance.

Insurance Regulation.

The policy holders of Alabama. about 50 900 strong, will have a representa- tive whom they can reach whether the subject of controlling insurance com panies be referred to the ways and means or the interstate commerce com mittee. Mr Underwood is member of the ways and means, and Judge Richardson is a member of the com mittee on interstate commerce. No matter 10 which committee room the House sends the subject the policy holders of Alabama will not go up- represented
 The ways and means committee claims the subject because control or insurance companies will be apt to in evolve taxation, and the ways and means committee Is the revenue com mjttee of the House. The federal gov .ernment can tax anything provided it steers clear of export taxes. and prac- tlces uniformity
 The framers of the constitution would have been astonlshed if one of their number had declared that letter written in one state and delivered in another is interstate commerce. It is TOW asserted that the writing of a policy in one state and the delivery of it in another is interstate commerce, just as the growing of a bale of cotton in I.owndes county and the delivery of that bale in Fall River is interstate commerce. It is difficult to draw the line. and those who desire to have the suuJect of insurance supervision con s.dered by the interstate committee are not trying to draw 1t.
 The House Is very much in earnest fin it's discussion of the subject. and no doubt the Presidents recommenda- tion in favor of federal supervision will not go unheeded. The subject is one that will tax the resources and time of either of the contending com I Ynittees
