s.SOCKER"
SEASON

The ''socker'' season was ushered in
ball ground with an exhibition game
between selected sides termed for con-
venience sake the Yellow and Whites.
Considering that it was the opening
game of the season the men showed up
we'll, though several showed evidence Of
being green and as yet unhardened.
The result was a draw, each side
scoring goal.
John Cation scored during the first
period for the Fellows and during the
trick for the Whites.
The game was we'll contested all
through, although the wind spoiled
many good efforts.
The Whites had all the better of the
play throughout the game and should
have won.
Grune, r. Cation, Woo, Fernandez,
Center and Davis We're the bright par
ticular stars.
Throughout the halves not a man of
the twenty-five was carried off the
field; not an ambulance call sounded.
The line of play, too, was free from
surgeons, physicians, bandages or in
strument cases. No hospital corps was
there, neither We're there bands of re-
serves waiting, tense and eager, to fill
the gap made by mangled comrades.
Two or three players We're upset in
collisions, but no one was disabled.
Nose guards, ear and scalp helmets,
padded shoulders, and wad-covered
limbs were not needed. In place of ar
NOR and steel and all such devices
against brute and animal strength
there were loose shirts, loose Knockers
and hose halfway to the knee. The skin
was barred from above and below the
kneecap, the throat exposed, the skull
and face without covering.
A number of Britishers watched the
game, their national game it may al
most be called. The American sport
lovers frowned on the innovation, gave
it the cold shoulder and missed a treat.
A renegade was there, however and
before the ball had been in play ten
minutes he was a sworn convert, en-
thusiastic and willing to decry the ma
TONS modern game. There are many
differences" said he, but the most
striking is that in this game you see
the flight of the ball all the time, while
in our game you see nothing but
mounds of men. This is action from
start to finish, and every move right
under your eye, and it's as fast, scien-
tific and exciting as a championship
hockey game

rHE sTATE lax COMMISSIONER.

A great many people are making
an honest and earnest effort to inform
themselves on the all important ques-
ton now before the people OF West
Virginia-the question of the revision
OF the State system of taxation. 1t
is a question that ought not to be a
political one, but a proposition of
so much Importance can hardly be
settled without a political party takes
it up and pledges its enforcement,
agreeing thereby to stand or fall by
it. The Republican party, which
shirks a task nor evades an
issue, when the welfare of the people
is at stake, took up this question and
made 1t the issue for last years cam
paign. The laws are now on the stat
ute books and this fall the people
viii begin to reap their substantial
benefits by having a large reduction
In their tax tickets. One of the chief.
distinctive and entirely new features
OF the revised system is that of the
State tax commissionership. The

The Intelligencer is inclined to be.
lieve hat the agitation of the United
States Senatorship question at the
present is not timely, nor is 1t likely
to be beneficial. The Republicans of
West Virginia have a good deal to do
in Strengthening up their fences and
putting themselves into shape to meet
an active foe. and we may well devote
som time to this and stop quarrelling
over offices that are not to be filled for
eighteen months or two years.
Wheeling Intelligencer.
AS the United States Senatorship is
the next thing on the taps we would
like to know why the agitation of
the question is not timely. AS repre-.
sentatives to the Legislature will soon
be looming up, and as they will name
the next Senator, 1t looks like now is
the exact time to agitate. II 1t be
the peoples desire that Mr.. Elkins
should succeed himself the agitation
will make it known, and If they prefer
a change the same agitation will
make that apparent. AS the West
Virginian looks at it now is the very
time to discuss the Senatorial ques.
ton. AS to Strengthening up the
fences we do not believe they are in
such bad shape but that they will
right themselves.
