SCAURMAN FRIEND
 OF PRESENT GAME
SAYS FOOTBALL IS ROUGH, BUT ROUGHNESS IS NO BAD ORDEAL. PRESENT CRITICISM FRENZIED AND UNFAIR.

Syracuse N. Y, December 2s. President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell uni versity, in an address before the Asso- ciated Academy Principals of the State of New York, placed himself on record as il staunch friend of football, declaring that the recent criticism of the game, ''if not hysterical and frenzed, is at least one sided and unfair"
 President Schurman urged that the game should not be abolished. Modify 1t, he suggested. so as to remove the extra hazards
 Ut has in 1t so many elements Of mill tary discipline and moral training; 1t af- lords such voumnous vent for huge masses of superiluous feeling and energy in players and spectators alike, which oth- erwise would seek and find an outlet in more dubious channels-there Is, l say, so much to be adduced in favor of the game, that the criticism which has been of late hailed will. with impartial con- sideration be found. If not hysterical and frenzied, at least one-sided and unfair.
 "The game is rough, but roughness Is no bad ordeal, and even the scriptures en- join us to endure hardness The game is attended with accidents; so is every game.'

RETRIEVE GIVEN
 TO WILL JOHNSON
MANY PROMINENT MEN OF GADS- BELIEVE THAT HE DID NOT TAKE PART IN CRIME AS CON- VICTED.

MontgomeryS December 2S-(Special.)- Will Johnson. one of the negroes sen- fenced to be hung with Jask Hunter and Vance Garner at Gadsden, tomorrow, has been given another month of life by The governor On the advice of the board of pardons and at the suggestion of a great number of citizens, he has been reprieved to February 9, at which time he will be executed if there are no other words 10 tho contrary.
 Sheriff Chandler was notified early to- day of the action of the governor. and wired response, saying he would keep the negro there during the time be- tween now and hls next date of detth The other two negroes. Garner and Hun ter, will go to the scaffold and death to- morrow
 There Is a general belief at Gadsden that Johnson is not guilty of participation In tho assault and murder of Mrs. Sarah l Smith at Gadsden. last July, for which crime all the negroes are under sentence of death. II is thought that Hunter and Garner will make confessions, that will show that Johnson Is not responsible for tho crime.
 Tho governor made the following en- dorsement on the papers;
 This man was convicted in the city court Of Gadsden of the crime of mur- der He was sentenced with two others, to be hanged for a crime one Of the most diabolical ever committed in Ala hama
 IL is made to appear to the board of pardons that there Is doubt of this man S guilt. while probably none at all of the two others sentenced at the same time. Many good citizens with no end to serve, save to see that justice Is done, petition for reprieve for him, believing that a few weeks will demong>rate that he is innocent of this serious offense
 IL Is ordered that he be reprieved from Friday. December 20, until February g. lao6, at which time the sheriff shall pro eeed unless otherwise instructed, to carry out the sentence of the court

STANDS UP FOR UNCLE SAM.

Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls S. D.. spoke
on Our Country and the Church. at the banquet
given in Dubuque at the conservation OF Dr. Car,
roll as bishop of Helena, Mont. In the course OF
his remarks he indirectly criticised the Cathcllc
federation. He said the subject was the old formula
of "The Church and State
The subject he said was about as dangerous to
handle as a live wire. 1t does not mean today what
in did years ago. Today all governments have be
come constitutional the will of the people, Today
it should not be the relations between church and
state but between church and people. Governments
what the people make them. Therefore, make
the people Christians, and the government will be
Christian We are living under dl'ai govern
ment--stae and federal. What the relations
between the church and the state government, and
the church and the federal government! The points
of contact are liberty of worship, properly rights
of the church, marriage and education. None of
these have to do with the federal government, they
are all state affairs. Each state has its laws for
marriage and divorce and for education.
What right have TO shake OR fists in Uncle
Sans face in relation to any of these questions!
We apt to trail coat tails all over the land
for some one to step on and WELD shlilaly. When
Archbishop Glennon went out to make. the fight
against free text books in Missouri, he don't trail
has coat tails all over the country, but got his
forces together i'll Missouri and won the victory.
When Archbishop Keane wanted various wrongs
corrected in Dubuque he didn't appeal to the state
authorities. but went after the municipal govern
meDt. When the late Archbishop katzer wanted
to defeat the Bennett school law in Wisconsin he
lined up his forces and walked into the halls of the
state legislature in Wisconsin.
When the Indians became the wards of the fed
eral government there question between the
Catholic church and the government, but no one
has any reproach to cast the federal govern
mcnt regarding the Indian question. 1t has been
settled with justice TO all The federal govern
ment acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico You
all know how it arranged that troublesome ques
ton Is there any government in the world could
have handled that question as the American gov
eminent under President Roosevelt! He went to
headquarters at Rome. and on the commission put
a Catholic layman and bishop to show the world
he meant deal fairly. The holy father appointed
a delegate to the Philippines and removed tina,
question from American attention.
No country in the world in its relations with
the Catholic church is as fair just as America
As to Iowa Minnesota, Illinois and other states
let the bishops of these states take of them.
stand up for Uncle Sam and say there is fairer
more just ruler in the world than Uncle Sam.

WHEN CHRISTMAS Is OVER.
BY Edwin L. Sabin.

BY Edwin L. Sabn
The drum in the corner lies forlorn
= A hole in its head unmended;
While battered and bent is the Christmas horn
Its mission on earth is ended.
The skates are ncked and covered with rust,
And the past ceded;
The books with eagerness once discussed
Repose on the shelf unheeded.
The doll has ruined her wardrobe all,
Her bed more is slept in,
But out in the maze of the dim-lit hall
She is often rudely stepped on.
The candy is only morsel wee,
Too stale for further dwindling;
The dried remains of the Christmas tree
Are at last reduced to kindling.
The cat and the dog have resumed their cares,
After a rapt vacation;
The cook in her sanctum daily bears
Full many a visitation,
For Santa Claus in the neighborhood
OF the distant pole now snoozes,
And Willie makes up for the time he was good
And Jane is bad she chooses.
