Football.

Football, in some form, has been
played since the dawn of history.
That its records have not been pre-
served fully is perhaps due to the fact
that the sour old chroniclers who re-
corded the events of long ago either
took no interest in the game or con-
sidered Ii below their notice. That
1t was played, however, there can be
no doubt, for its rudiments are in
every child, and even the kittens
show indications of something akin
to it.
In early days the game was SO
popular in London, where it was play
ed in the streets, that it was a nuis-
ance to the merchants and an offense
to the sedate.- So great was the out
cry against it that in 1914 Edward II
issued proclamation against it in
the following terms: "Forasmuch
as there is great noise in the
city caused by hustling over large
balls from which many evils might
arise, which God forbid, we command
and forbid on behalf of the King, on
pain of Imprisonment, such games to
be used in the city in future" And
later, James l spoke of it in these
terms: Rough and violent exercise
as the football, meeter for lamine
than for making able the users
| thereof"
And so the earliest notices of the
game are inseparately connected will
protest against its boisterous anC
dangerous character. With the ad
vent of the school season football viii
supplant baseball in the outdoor
games, and with it will come the news
of broken arms and legs Would i
be possible so to remodel the rule,
of the game as TO preserve its interes
and eliminate some of it's creates

Andrew and Arbitration.

Andrew Carnegie is one of the worlds
foremost citizens. and he is also one
of the strongest advocates of arbitra-
ton. He is so much in earnest about
that method of avoiding war that any
question OF the possibility of arbitrat-
ing vital questions by powers of the
first rank rouses him to immediate
and vigorous protest. Recently the
London Spectator used these words,
No nation will ever consentsto arbi-
trate about things that vitally touch
it, and now Mr.. Carnegie comes back
at that paper, saying: Courts of
law redress all wrongs. This will
soon be the rule among nations. All
international differences will find
their solution by arbitration in
courts"
Good for you, Andrew. May that
day come speedily. But is it true
that courts of law redress all
wrongs" among individuals? 1t may
be true that in theory they are in
tended TO afford redress for all
wrongs, but in practice they fall far
short of that ideal. And there, just
there, is where individuals and ma
tions part company with courts.
There are some matters that touch
individuals and nations so vitally that
the delays of the courts are a mock
cry and the trickery of the law a
cause Of madness. Society is nearly
strong enough TO compel individuals
to accept the arbitrament of the
courts, but the world has not yet
progressed far enough to do the same
in the case of nations
Mr. Carnegie is, at least, right in
feeling, and he is to be honored for
his advocacy of arbitration, but the
consummation he so devoutly wishes.
and in which We join him, is, we fea-.
rather remote.

The Anglo Japanese TTeatu.

No one is surprised that the new,
and strengthened, alliance between
England and Japan is raising a storm
of protest in the journals of Ger
many and Russia. That was known
10 be its inevitable result; it was to
rage and others imagine vain things;
but the object of the compact is to
render vain certain lively magma
tions without paying serious atten-
ton TO the ragings
The Berliner Tageblatt and the
Lokal Anzeiger are suggesting a coali-
tion of the other European powers in
opposition to the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. But such contingencies were
undoubtedly foreseen by British
statesmen and were dismissed as
e.ther chimeras or as lacking very
much in the element of novelty; and,
indeed, nothing England could DO
would change materially the con-
firmed hostility of. attitude toward
her of both Russia and Germany.
The real problem for both England
and Japan was not hew to please the
other powers, but how to make il
impossible for the other powers, to
wit, Russia ana Germany, 10 rob
them of their present interests and
possessions. Russia has threatened
India for decades, and Japan has just

Two WAYS to Reciprocity.

Germany has adopted scheme OF
tariff schedules designed to be SO high
as either to terminate her trade with
certain other countries which main
tain rates of the same height or TO
compel those countries TO join IN
mutual concessions. America is one
of the countries at which the meas
ure is aimed, and by it Yankee meat,
grain, flour, and other foods are lock-
ed out. In the future, unless the gate
is opened, our countrymen who deal
in those products must lose that en-
tire trade.
Two means offer themselves of
opening this gate. The more busi-
nesslike, the easier, and the more ad-
vantageous permanently is that of a
reciprocity treaty which will put
America on the same footing in Ger
nan markets as France and England.
The other is waiting policy, a policy
OF patient faith that the deprivation
OF American foodstuffs will raise the
Germany must herself remove the
barrier Dispatches which are being
sent from Washington TO New York
and other shipping centers indicate
that the shippers are apparently pin
ming their faith to the first method
In Washington it is hard TO see any
common sense prospect Of aid through
that channel A reciprocity treaty,
either with Germany or any other
country, will require the cooperation
of Congress. The Senate has been
fighting that kind of legislation as
hounds fight fox-eating up every
thing but the brush. Who has the
slightest practical reason for rating
the House in favor of tariff revision
it has a mighty slim chance in Con-
gress.
Germany's endurance, on the other
hand, is no such fixed quantity. Meat
already costs her poor so much that
laborers must keep going on one por-
ton a week Grain is almost as high
And the strain is spreading. Every
day of such prices means added at

many the cost of living is determined

REGULATION.

Regulation.
Washington, October 24.-The con.
victlon and fining OF four members
OF the firm OF Schwarzschild e Sulz-
berger last week, for accepting re-
bates, forms the chief topic of dis
cussion here among the returning
politicians. Praise for the president
and the department of justice is COM
ing in from all over the country. It
appears to be the general opinion that
the rebate evil is effectively scotched-
A successful precedent has been es-
tablIshed in rebate cases, and here
after 1t is alleged. the governments
path will be comparatively easy in OBJ
tanning similar convictions If future
cases Of this kind arise.
The general belief as to the re-
suit Of the ining OF the packers is
optimistic. The current opinion holds
that 1t will have an immediate and
lasting effect in curbing those large
shippers who demand determinations
in their favor from the railroads. II
the government is on the alert to
enforce the law and ,he large shippers
will be fined $4,000 whenever they
are discovered accepting rebates, the
rebate will soon become as defunct as
the great aux And rapacious shippers
will be further impressed by the fact
that Shere is every reason to believe
that the government will not be sat
isfed by the payment OF a fine for a
second ofiense.
The belief grows that the decision
Of the United States district court in
Chicago will have a great effect IN
modifying the demands OF those who
are agltating for rate regulation. Con.
servative opinion in Washington re-
CARDS the conviction Of the packers as
an effective demonstration OF the con.
tenton that existing legislation is
competent to deal with unjust rate
determinations and as supporting the
view that there Is plenty of law on
the statute books, If the government
will only see to its enforcement Those
who opposed additional railroad legis-
lation before the senate committee on
Interstate commerce at its special
session last spring are pointing TO the
fact that they reiterated over and
over again uat existing laws, active.
ly enforced. are adequate and are say.
