FOOTBALL TEAM READY

The high school foot ball team is
busy whipping into shape for a game
TO be played with the Blair Business
college of Spokane, Saturday, at Ath
letic park, and while It will be the
first game Of the season, II promises
TO be q good one, for the boys have
been working hard under the coach
ing Of John Middleton, who will be
with them this season, instead of re-
turning to Moscow, where he has been
offered the position Of coach for the

condition and the team Is prepared to
put up q good fight. There was a try
out this afternoon, when the first
team played a practice game with the
second team, at Athletic park, but
the positions will not be assigned I'm
til tomorrow afternoon.
The second team Is composed OF
the freshies and those who are not
heavy enough for the first team, but
they are able to put up a scrappy
fight. The baseball park has been
secured for the season and the friends
will have 10 view the game from the
grandstand. This is good feature
for the team to introduce and II re-
moves all chance for visitors to com
plain Of foul work by spectators who

We occasionally hear some speak

that he has not been consistent In his
fight against the Mormons. He was
fighting these people almost a quar-
ter Of century ago, when In the
vigor of a young manhood, and has
been doing so ever since, when they
violated the laws Of God and man.
When they issued their manifesto de-
claring that polygamy and church in
reference in politics had forever
ceased, he accepted 1t as true until they
violated IL and again began these prac-
tices. Following Is the speech Of
Dubois ON accepting the chairman

INTERVENE IN
CUBAN REBELLION
Government Will Land Marines to
Restore Peace

Havana, Sept. 26.-President Pal
ma has called special session of
congress for Friday when he will pre-
sent the resignation of himself and
Vice President Mendez Capote. The
moderates however willing to attend
that session of congress, for in their
hurriedly called moderate assembly
this afternoon, they decided unani-
mously to quit forthwith. They will
not even attend the approaching ses-
sion or have anything to do with the
government of Cuba alleging
that they have been unjustly
treated bp the commissioners.
This determination is taken by
Messrs Taft and Bacon to mean that
the moderate leaders finding they
can not control the situation them
selves are determined that the liber-
ais shall not obtain control.
At the conclusion of the moderate
assembly this afternoon Vice Presi-
dent Capote called upon the Ameri
can commissioners and declared that
he had been instructed by the moder-
ate assembly to draft reply to Sec
rotary Taft's letter to President Pal
ma in which peace terms were sug-
gested. After this interview Vice
Presiden Mendez Capote said to the
Associated Press:
~ have resigned irrevocably my
position with the government. The
president will convene congress in
extraordinary session on Friday tc
consider his resignation and my
own"
Mendez Coapote said that the en-.
tire body Of moderates in both houses
as we'll as the entire liberal national
or Nunez party would refrain from
attending the extraordinary session.
AS the moderates and the nationalist
comprise more than two thirds OF
each house there will be no quorum.
This will block action and prove that
the structure of constitutional gov.
eminent no longer exists.
