EDITORIAL OPINION
Roosevelt and Football.

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
President Roosevelt has so firmly
contracted the habit OF doing what he
sets out TO do that there is even hope
that he may accomplish something for
football. now that he mas turned his
active attention TO that game as play
ed I'm our colleges and universities.
When a big. hearty msn like the Presi-
dent. aud one so fun Of life and activity
and loving excitement and danger for
their own sake. comes 10 the belief that
football should be made less danger
Gus. then. indeed. IL is time for Trailer
and less adventurous people TO realize
that the game Is fast losing its sport
ing aspect. and becoming a mere trial
OF endurance and brute strength Every
one who is not mere crank. "A college
boy. or inspired by the instincts of a
thug. will hone that the talk Mr.
Roosevelt had with the athletic func-
tionaries OF Harvard, Yale. and Prince
ton will bear fruit.
II is too much to expect that the
rules viii be changed this year. but
before next season such amendments
should be made TO them that the pres
ent style Of mass play shall be either
done away with or so modified that
the present chances of injury and death
shall be greatly lessened How this is
to be done is a matter for those gentle
men who direct the football destinies
OF the college world to decide. II they
can come TO no conclusion. then the
faculties OF the colleges and universities
should take the matter I'm hand and
either do the legslating themselves or
absolutely stop the game.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean
Pat Grove has just told the Butte re-

In fun to the Butte reporters; unless, in

the thread of his narrative where the
Butte reporters were compelled TO drop it,.
We would all like to learn from Pats
own lips how he planned the abduction
Of the Car and all the Russian Grand
Dukes. and only failed because of the
tendency of his partners feet to become
chilled In emergencies. He might, If given
a chance, tell us of his scheme for carry
ing off the Philadelphia Mint. for robbing
the big New York life insurance COM
panies Of the surplus laid aside to meet
the salaries of the sons and sons-in-law
of the different Presidents; how he con-
ceived the idea OF personally ambushng
Secretary Taft during the latter's recent

perfected all arrangements for stealing

Senator Cullom to pay dearly for Il; how
he had figured out "a scheme for carry

TEACHING PATRIOTISM

T FFORTs to teach patriotism to the
Il pupils of the Philadelphia public
schools are being highly praised by the
Quaker City papers At the opening
exercises the nag is to be elevated and
4 few patriotic lines recited In concert.
The presumption is that patriotism win
ia consequence fiji the heart Of eacn
coming citizen.
Now II this will do the trick should
be faithfully carried out. no, only in
Philadelphia. but elsewhere; but we
cannot believe that the impression from
,tis bit Of stage work will sirk very
deep Unfortunately, the flag is made
commonplace by cheap orators who
with ole hand on the hear. and the
oihe. waving skyward toward OLD
glory eIhort the people 20 ospouse
causes that are half crimlral Has il
ever occurred to people that the flag
may be made too cheap? And as for
the teaching OF patriotism. like
moraiits, it is something that does not
come from text hooks nor even from
much talk, but results from right llv-
/ Ing right thinking and right ideals.
We can't teach our children directly
to love the nag nor to love the country
and TO respect its laws. But we may
teach them our history and the privl'
llegcs we enjoy under our Institutions
II then they are not patriotic It is be
cause they nave lacked those influence
which help them TO place a proper valu
on these things.
There are certain signs OF patriotism
which are proper 20 observe, but the
should not be mistaken for the sub
stance II students cannot learn TO b
patriotic from a proper study Of Ameri
can history. no flag drills will max
Them so.

DOG ANSWERED

Intelligent Setter Knew His
Masters Voice When

SHIPPED TO ITS OWNER.
Special to The Evening journal.

New Castle, oct. ls-It is generally
admitted that dog is the most in
telligent Of animals. but a canine that
recognizes its masters voice over the
telephone from point seventy miles
away is little short Of a wonder.
ON Saturday of last week red Irish
setter was noticed running about the
streets evidently searching for its
master whom it had lost The canine
was inclined to be wary Of strangers
and would let no one come near it.
Hunger, however, overcame its shyness
and on Tuesday the dog was caught by
Harry Snavelly and taken to his home
az the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Thompson. Upon examining the collar
Oh the animals neck 1t was found that
lit belonged TO Frank b. Ward of Ridge
way. Pa.
A letter was AT once forwarded to him
and a reply was received from Mr.
! Wand stating that he was now located
/ In DowningtOwn, Pa. and that the dog
had been stolen foom him by some
unknown person. ON Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Ward telephoned to Mr..
! Snavelly requesting that the animal be
shipped to him at his expense. While
/ Mr.. Snavelly was talking to Mr.. Ward
1t occurred to him that the dog might
know its masters voice over the wire.
Picking the animal up he held the re-
ceiver TO its ear. In moment the
canine began to bark vigorously and
wag its tail. Being convinced that the
animal knew it's masters voice and
that il was owned by Mr. Ward. Mr..
lSnavelley shipped it to him yesterday.
Last evening he received a telephone
message from Downingtown announc-
ing that the animal had reached its
homo safely.
