heavy total of dead and wounded. The

Count Whites task In securing fair
trial for the new experiment in con-
stitutionalism is a most difficult one.
He is disappointed at not securing the
support of the liberals. on whose CO.
operation he counted. Many of these
are holding aloof and seem rather to
enjoy the predicament in which the
new premier finds himself.
Meanwhile, the Socialists and revo-
lutionaries, who believe they have the
government stampeded. are bending
every effort to keep the movement 60
ing and to precipitate a catastrophe
from which they hope a socialistic re-
public will emerge. This Is a consum-
nation as little to be desired by the
majority of liberals. as by the govern

hope that the force gathering under
the banner of Count Witte is suffi-
ciently strong to make head against

RAILROAD REGULATION.
Presidents Policy Outlined by Senator
Knox at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg.-The Pittsburg Chamber
OF Commerce banquet Saturday night,
which concluded the Founders Day
celebration of the Carnegie Institute,
was an event of national Importance,
the roster of speakers being the most
brilliant in the history of the organiza-
ton
The principal speakers were Sena-
TOR Philander C. Knox, Sir Cheng
Iung Liang Cheng, Chinese minister;
Gen. A. w. Greeley, commander of the
United States Signal Service, and Mel
vile e. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press.
Senator Knox in his address said:
The President believes that the
power to pass upon the reasonableness
OF challenged railroad rate or prac-
tce should be lodged in some tribunal
upon which can be also constitution
ally cast the power to fix reasonable
rate or practice in lieu of a
rate found by it to be unreasonable
and that the rate so fixed should be-
come as nearly Immediately operative
as possible.
THE proposition that the national
government should exercise super
NiooIy control over tne TAX upon trans
portation became almost self-evident
from the time the railroads began,
through various devices, to concen-
trate this taxing power in the hands Of
few men
"A very short and simple law would
reach the root of the trouble. 1t
should provide that the tolls collected
by common carriers and the practices
pursued by them should be Just. fair
and reasonable. The power to deter
mine these tolls and practices should
rest within the railroads and not be
interfered with except upon complaint
and after full hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
THE commission should have the
power. II it finds the complaint well
founded, to declare what shall be a
Just, fairly remunerative and reason
able rate or practice to be charged or
followed in place of the one declared
to be unreasonable.
This order of the commission
should take effect within such reas-
enable time as shall be prescribed by
the commission in the order, and
should be final, subject only to attack
for unlawfulness in the federal courts.

DANGERS OF FOOTBALL.
II Can Only Be Properly Played BY
Gentlemen,

Football has always been a gentle
mans game, because no one but gen.
tleman can be trusted to play the game
honorably and fairly and with due re-
gard for the rights of his opponents
The spirit of the "slugger." in football,
is the spirit of the thug and the as
sassin, and 1t is just as criminal to-
kick an opposing player in the back,
or jump on his body, or foul" him In
someother way. for the purpose of
winning the game or retaliating for
some unintentional injury, as it would
ee to sandbag him in an alley to get
his watch and pure or to avenge an
injury.
The number of accidental injuries in
football is not large enough to warrant
giving up game that possesses most
valuable training features. which are
not possessed by any other game. But
the number of injuries that arise from
malice, or passion, or brutal indiffer-
ence to the rights of other players and
the courtesies of the game. is sufficient
to warrant the demand that the game
shall be played better, or not at all.
No game can be lust as good as
football" unless 1t makes the demands
upon self-control, courage, strength
and endurance that football makes.
Football is a game that should be
played by gentlemen, or 1t should not
be played at ALL No boy has learned
the principle of football playing until
he has learned self control.
Present day football is dangerous
because 1t is dirty football. The only
kind of football worth playing is clean
football. and clean football is not
dangerous Chieftain.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
President Rooseveit's Proclamation
Appoints November 3oth.


Washington.-The President has is
sued his proclamation naming Thurs
day, November Both next, as a day for
thanksgiving. The proclamation fol-
lows:
by the President Of the United States
of America. A Proclamation:
when nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great Re-
public, they confronted not only hard
ship and privation, but the terrible
risk to their lives. In those grim years
the custom grew of setting apart one
day in each year for a special service
of thanksgiving to the Almighty for
preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by i'm
memorial usage.
I'VE live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days; and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history. 1t
is eminently fitting that once year
our people should set apart n day for
praise and thanksgiving to the Giver
of good, and, at the same time, that
they express their thankfulness for the
abundant mercies received, should
manfully acknowledge their shortcom-
ings and pledge themselves solemnl.
and in good faith to strive to overcome
them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bus
mess prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
a level as we now stand on. We are
not threatened with foes without. The
foes within are our passions and fol-
lies; and against these there Is always
need that we should war.
Therefore, / now set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of this November, as
a day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future, and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship and on the render
ing of thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to a life OF
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, SO that
this Nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in manner worthy Of
those who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
"In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
thirtieth.
