THE PLAYING OF ECKER

Chicago added new laurels to his
already enlarged crown Of glory.
His most noteworthy feat was the
drop kicking Of goal from the "A

cagoan.
AS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S
eyes wandered over the Sunday
sporting pages he noted the follow
ing arguments for revised foot
ball rules: In the Pennsylvania
Harvard game Parker, the Grim
son center, was disqualified for
smuggling, and again in the second
'half, Sheble, of Pennsylvania,
was removed from the game for
striking another player in the
face" Canton, o., contributed this:
Hershey and Winbigler were put
out of the game for fighting, and
for a while a general mixup seem
ed imminent" Meadville, Pa,
shocked the spectators by "play-
ing one of the toughest games of
the season." Two lives were lost
Saturday, and one rib was broken,
besides numerous minor injuries
sustained by players.

SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1905.
SOME VERY SMALL THINGS.

The difficulty which the ordinary mind encounters in the effort to under stand the arguments and deductions of science and the scientists is shown in a-reeent article by Sir Oliver Lodge. Discussing atoms he says; "A portion of substance consisting of a billion atoms is only barely visible with the highest power of a microscope; and a speck or granule, in order to be wis., ible to the naked eye, like a grain of lycopodium dust, must be a million times bigger still" One who will take the trouble to multiply a billion by a million will get number beyond all human conception. nor is it possible for the human mind to conceive the smallness of an atom as thus desig- mated.
 This explains one of the reasons why the reasonings of the eminent scholars are less effective than per- haps they should be. If one tells us that this earth has existed a million years. and another that it has stood ten millions, or a hundred millions one assertion would have about as much sffect as the other. It would be i'm possible to prove or disprove either opinion, so we let 1t pass. If an aS- tronomer tells us that a fixed star is A billion or a trillion of miles from the earth there isnnothing to be gained by disputing or arguing with h1m. for if he defies us to dlsprove his state- ment we can't do 1t. and there we are.
 It is the same with the atom busi- ness. Prof. Lodge gfves a size that the mind cannot conceive, and deals in numbers that really have no meaning to us because they cannot be reck- oned by any ordinary method of com putation. At the same time, as 1t is not possible for any man. Professor or other, to count them. we naturally look on his figures as mere guess work and fail to be impressed. We may freely admit that an atom is a very small portion of the universe, and let it go at that.

Montgomery's Natural Beauty.

Mir. Walter s. Pierce, an old-time Montgomery man, though now q resi- dent of New York. has not lost his love Tor his old home, which he Is visitin g. He is enthusiastic over Montgomery natural business advantages and its beautiful location for a city. Having travelled much in foreign countries and all over the United States, he expressed the opinion yesterday that "Montgom- cry can be made just as attractive as the famous Riviera section on the Med- fterranean."
 There is," he continued. "a crimson rambler covering the front porch of Mrs. Mckinney, on Monroe Street, which any lover of nature In any part of the world would be delighted to see. It is joy to look upon. You have a succession of flowers and towering trees all through the spring months, and. tourists who are looking for such thing gs, if they only knew how beauti- full everything is in Montgomery during that period, would stop and spend some of their time with you.
 Your new hotel Is going to work a revolution in the travelling mind, and Montgomery will not be avoided here- after on the score of no place to stop and be comfortable. Montgomery ought to be filled with visitors from the North and East several months each year, and in few years you will see them here by the hundreds and thous- ands"

NO CREDIT TO HIM.

The more we read and hear about that Rigelow affair the less sympathy and patience do we have for him. If there are ever excuses for a man to go wrong they seem to be wanting in his case. Sometimes when a man is hard up and can see no way out of his difficulties he will take large chances in order to relieve himself Sometimes he may descend to crimi- nality in the hope that he will be able to recoup his losses ana make good what he has unlawfully used.
 In a case of this kind there Is ai- ways a feeling of human sympathy. We may not offer any defense for a criminal act but we can put in de- fence the need which first caused the wrong doing. In Bigelow's case if we are rightly informed no such plea can be sustained. Financially he was thoroughly independent. He really had more money than he mad need for. With position. standing, the esteem and confidence of all. and with more money than he could use he was still not content. The thirst of riches was on him. and in order to pile up mil lions he risked all and descended to crime
 And the man was a hypocrite of the most pronounced type. Last Sep tember in an. adsyess to the bankers

RADIuM AND CANCER.

There seems to bs some foundation for the belief expressed that cancer can be materially relieved. if not ac- tually cured by the radium treatment. There has been so much guying about this metal on account of its scarcity and high price that most people are inclined to look on any reference to it as a remedy as one of the usual jokes and pass 1t on, but that method will no longer suffice, for experiments al- ready made, and others now going on, indicate that there Is good ground for the hope that 1t may be the means of relieving one of the most dreaded of all human diseases.
 When one reads of the exceeding scarcity of radium and of the enor- nous price asked for it. 1t Is no won- der that there should be doubt as to the possibility of using 1t as a reme- dy for disease, but there are, two points in its favor. One is that 1t IS practically indestructible. and the oth- CT that but an infinitesimal quantity Is required in treating disease with it. Like the instruments of the surgeon the radium can be used over and over again without losing its virtue. Then, too, a minute quantity of the sub stance may be used with good effect, and in addition to that there are rad ium preparations which gre being used with encouraging results.
 It is claimed for this new metal that It mas the property of killing dis ease germs, or destroying diseased flesh, without injury to the healthy tissues. and thus save the necessity of using the knife. What seems to be a hopeful experiment is now being conducted in the case of Dr. Harper, of the University of Chicago. who gave up his work some time ago on account of what was considered an incurable cancer. An operation in his case was impossible. and the radium treatment was resorted to as the only hope. Un- der that treatment the cancerous growth has been reduced more than one-half, and strong hopes are enter tained of complete success. If 1t should prove so 1t will be strong argument in favor of 1t as a cancer remedy.

No Negro Suffrage in south Afrlcn.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 In preparing new Constitution for ernment has decided not to admit the negroes to the suffrage British com mon sense Is responsible in part for United States in dealing with the same problem in the reconstruction of the Southern States, may have convinced the British statesmen of the unwisdom of aggravating the bitterness caused by the recent Boer war by injecting into 1t
 the race question. The decision is practically a declaration that the Re- publican majority in Congress which, led by that fanatical madman. Thad stevens. passed the fourteenth and fif- teenth amendments, made a grievous mistake which caused the loss of thous- ands of lives, millions of dollars of treasure. held back the development of the South for quarter of a century, and probably caused more suffering and misery than any legislation of modern times.
 The situation in the Transvaal is not unlike that in the South at the end of the civil war, save only that there are racial and lingual differences between and tongue-a relationship which should have made the terms of recon struction less severe and breathing the spirit of brotherhood rather than that of hatred. The Boers are in a major ity in the Transvaal, and will, there fore, control the government of the colony as far as the local Legislature will be able to do so. If the electoral franchise, however were extended to the negroes. the political situation would be completely changed The blacks are pro British and anti Boer, and a black majority of voters would make the TransVaal more loyal" to the mother country than Jamaica. More~ over, such extension of the franchise would keep the Boers under" would render their political struggles. weak and of little effect, would kill any thought of a new rebellion and would reasoning from the Thad Stevens stand point-"reconstruct" them, teach them the power of the central government and eradicate any spirit of rebellion or opposition on their part. Just as 1t was argued by some of the Republican advocates of the amendments that to grant the negroes suffrage would in sure their support for the party for all time and give 1t control of the Gov ernment for a century to come, while others urged that it be done as a pun ishment to the Southern people for the crime of rebellion, so that British statesmen of today, if they 7had allow ed their judgment to be obscured by their prejudices. might have followed the example of the reconstruction Con- gress. and made citizens and voters of the negroes of the Transvaal in order

 Further 1t shows the Louisville and per cent lower than the average of the State of Georgia on these is7 articles. President Conner made the point that to which Mfr. Compton answered that they constituted articles of the follow ing class; and numerous others:

 MT. Compton, in criticising the list of fifty odd articles, selected by MT. Conner, which bore a higher rate in Alabama than the so-called Georgia standard rates. took issue with MT. Co., mer and set forth the fact that Mir. Co., mer's verbal statements were such as to cause people to believe that the so- called standard rates in Georgia were charged over all lines; and showed that the Georgia rates were not the rates set forth in his (Mr. Comer's) table; and showed that the Georgia rates are the rates charged by the Georgia railroads and not the rates shown in MT. Conner s table of comparisons. Mir. Compton challenged MT. Conner to disprove the correctness of the method of calculat- ing and arriving at the rates charged in the State of Georgia. MT. Conner admitted that he was unable to dis prove these figures.
 To illustrate: the rates shown by MT. Conner on the articles enumerated and the correct rates as shown by MT. Compton on the same articles, are as follows:

NOT PROVEN.


 For the life of us we are unable to understand why some or our contem- poraries are so blood-thirsty towards Nan Patterson. The failure to convict her is exploited as a miscarriage of justice, farce, and various other terms are used to express their dis satisfaction because she was not con- demned to the electric chair as a mur- deress. "Give a dog a bad name and kill him." seems to be the theory on which they base then reasons for wanting her put to death. Nan Pat terson is not a good woman; there is ample testimony on that point but if all who are not good are to be electrocuted on general principles it will make serious hole in the popu- lation.
 We have followed the Patterson case with some degree of care, and we are firm in the opinion that she ought not to be convicted on the testimony so far given. There is not a word of direct evidence to show that she killed Young. That there is circumstantial evidence is true enough but weli-in- formed people know that kind of evil dence is often deceptive. Time and again do we read authentic accounts where a man long since dead on the gallows Is proven innocent beyond all possibility of doubt. The establish ment of his innocence comes too late to save his life. though 1t may clear his name. If he had been imprisoned, though the punishment would have been undeserved, it would at least have obviated a judicial murder. When the death penalty has been adjudged and carried out no after confession of the real criminal can bring the dead back to life or remove rhe burden from those who gave the verdict of guilty. Nan Patterson may have killed Cea- sar Young but 1t has not been proven.
 And there Is another point in this connection that may not be withouS interest, and that is the absolutely cution in the case. It is the duty of a prosecuting officer to do his duty to the State, and 1t is expected of him that he will try to rid himself of all personal feeling or bias and endeavor to secure a conviction by fair means. but this MT. Rand did not do. In the words of The Norfolk Virginia-Pilot it is using e mild term to say that Mir. Rand acted throughout the trial more like a blackguard than a law yer. In his speech closing the case for the people he seems to have lost all sense of justice and reason. He denounced the woman as though she had been guilty of all the crimes in the category, forgetting that men. whether jurors or not, are apt to re- sent that sort of thing. Probably if the jurors should express their sem timent in the premises it would be found that they were influenced more to vote for the acquittal of the pris- oner by the speech of the prosecuting attorney than they were by that of the attorney for the defense"
 That such tactics should often de- feat their own ends is not surprising, and we agree with our contemporary that the course pursued by MT. Rand should not be allowed In a court of justice. Even a prisoner Is entitled to fair treatment. but both prisoner and witnesses are sometimes subjected to such abuse as should not be allowed. There is a limit even to a prosecuting attorneys privileges, and Mir. Rand certainly overstepped 1t.

tNo sCALPING.~

There has been considerable com ment concerning a statement that one of the features of an entertainment to be given during the visit of the Ma tional Editorial Association to C,kla- homa will be the scalping of half breed by the famous old Indian Ger onimo. Such a thing Is calculated to arouse the indignation of every right thinking man, and the President of the Association as soon as he saw the pub lication took up the matter with the local committee at Guthrie. He was promptly informed that no such thing was ever contemplated and that the report arose from a jocular remark to that effect made by an Oklahoma man to a Kansas City newspaper and from that 1t spread. There Is no other foundation for the report.
 The entertainment at Ranch No. 101," the largest farm in the world, will be that of private individuals. The National Editorial Association is in no manner responsible for or spon- sor for it and 1t is not likely that the Association will accept an invitation to it. This will, of course, leave in- dividual members to do as they see proper about going or remaining away. We feel quite sure that a great many will pursue the latter course.
 Those who object to the entertain ment do so because 1t is scheduled to come off on Sunday. They do not be- lieve that an entertainment of the kind is the proper thing for Sunday. as much as they would like under proper conditions to see a vast gathering of herds. buffaloes, cowboys, Indians and soldiers on one great field, and enact ment of scenes similar to those that took place when the whole Western country was practically uninhabited.
