CUTTING A BOMB
IN ~" POLITICS
HALFBACK ENTERS RACE FOR
ATHLETIC BOARD PRESIDENCY.
Appearance Of Dodgers Announcing
Candidacy Of Football Player Creates
Sensation and Upsets All Election
Dope Forces Football Issue to the
Fore-All Is Excitement on Campus.

" Vote for Cutting for president. He
stands for football! Where do you
stands He earned your vote in the
Nebraska and Wisconsin games.''
The preceding announcement in the
form Of dodger and over it the picture
OF Joseph Cutting, halfback on the uni
versity football team, rudely Jared the
rather placid surface of the university
political situation this morning. It pro-
claimed to the college world the en-
trance Of a new and active candidate in
the race for the university athletic
board Of control.
The method chosen by Cutting s
friends to announce his candidacy was
unique in the not-altogether unspotted
history of university politics and when
the dodgers were found in every stu
/ dents mailbox this morning, college
politics immediately began to warm up
Until the advent Of Cutting, John
Gleason, senior academic, and Edward
Condor, lmiddleman law, were the
only announced candidates. Rumors
Of dark horse had been floating
around the campus for the last week
| but there were no developments and the
announcement Of Cuttings candidacy
came in the form Of bomb to the
students, nearly all Of whom were tieG
w W Oue or Ine OCner OF the candidates
| AS result Of Cuttings entrance in
! the race for the presidency the football
issue may be brought up at the meeting
! tonight. Both Condor and Gleason
have declared themselves heartily in ia
vor Of the game, but it is understood
that Cutting is opposed to the accept
! ance by Minnesota of the big nine con
ference rules recently adopted, and it il
] possible that the other candidates will
be obliged to take definite stand OF
the question.
: Judging from indications on the cam
pus today the contest tonight will Ii
! between Gleason and Cutting. Con
don has not been making PARTICULAR,
active canvass and there were rumors o
his withdrawal today. 49,. d. ..-.
The fight for the presidency viii
somewhat obscure the contests for tn

SCORES CHURCH METHODS
DIR. F. o. BALLARD OF NDIANAP-
OILS ADVOCATES TITHING sYs-
TEN OF SECURING MONEY.

The final session of the Missionary
Institute was held at Westminster
church last evening. It was largely at
tended and much interest and enthusi-
asm was manifested, nearly all present
taking part in the informal discussion
OF ways and means to carry on cam
palgn OF reform and evangelization.
Nearly every Minneapolis church was
represented in the gathering, and there
were many energetic church workers
who attended from st. Paul.
The address Of the evening was by
DR.. F. O. Ballard of indianapolis. His
talk was to the point and he did not
mince matters in telling of what he be-
ieved to be tthe shortcomings of the
church of today and Of necessary re-
forms.
DR.. Ballard strongly urged the bibli-
cal teaching of tithing-the giving Of
one-tenth Of ones personal income to
church demanded sound financial foun-
Gation for it's work, before it could ac-
complish any great good or successfully
carry on desired reforms. He strongly
denounced the church system Of raising
money by the modern almsgiving, sub
scription taking, and collections, and by
such frivolous methods as oyster sup
pers, clam roasts, basket soeials, and
the like.
DR.. Ballard said he had successfully
introduced the system of tithing in his
church at indianapolis, and therefore
believed it could be as successfully in
troduced in churches turnout the coun.
try.
The closing business of the conven-
ton was devoted to the election Of com
mittees by the different denominations
to follow up the work of the institute
by organization of mission classes and
promulgate mission work within each
parish. Committees for the Presbyter
ians, Congregationalists and Method
! lists, were named as follows:
Presbyterian-Rev. A. J. Pattison, II
| G. Finney, Miss Alice Braden, Mrs. C
W. Williams, J. W. Ash, Miss Violet NJ

| E. II. Cressy was named temporary
chairman Of the Baptist organization
the other members of his committee Il
be named later after a conferenc.
among leading Baptists.
The committees will meet some tim,
next week to organize the work in thei
respective denominations.

APRIL 4 |! BAD TINE
FOR COAL STRIKE
NORTHWESTERN STOCKS WILL
THEN BE DEPLETED.
Heavy Eastern Consumers Would Be
Likely to Hog the Supply and
the Northwest Would Have to, tWhis-
I tie for Its Coal-Non-Union Supply
Is Small.

sslf the coal operators and miners Of
the coal-producing regions come to a
permanent disagreement. as now seems
highly. probable, it will take not to ex-
ceed fifteen days to make the entire
country, and especially the northwest,
feel the effect of "a coal shortage. This
is the opinion Of number of leading
coal men. a2
Attic northwestern coal stocks are
in excellent condition at present, ow-
ing to the mild winter and the. heavy
all-rall shipments rushed in on account
OF the dock shortage at the head of the
lakes, this supply will be practically
exhausted by April /. This is the date
on which most Of the large companies
date when the contracts between the
miners and operators expires
AS soon as it becomes certain that
the miners and operators are to clash,
heavy consumers who will need coal for
manufacturing purposes during the
summer f will begin to buy heavily, and
all available coal will be taken off the
market. This will tend to make the
shortage felt at once. Certain coal;
will continue to be worked. This is spe
cially true Of West Virginia. Even
with these working, however, the short
age will not be visibly relieved. The
railroads of the oal-producing regions
are the heaviest consumers of coal
They are In the, habit of carrying nc
stocks, taking their coal direct from
the mines along their routes. At most
these roads, including the Pennsylvania
system, have at. no time to exceed foul
or five days supply on hand. The rail
road demand alone will be sufficient
Ito consume most Of the coal that will
| be turned out in unaffected regions
The fact that it. may have been bought
and contracted for by others will. moi
protect it, as the railroads will hav,
I to haul it, and, being short, of Goa
themselves, they will confscate it, al
Eis the custom during coal famines.
Local coal receivers and shippers d,
not care to discuss the chances Of I
strike in the coal regions. It is admit
ted, however, that the northwest vii
be in serious spredicament 50 far a
a coal supply for summer use in manu-
featuring, etc., is. concerned, if tn
strike comes. With all parts Of tn
east feeling the shortage, and with onl,
small supply coming from the q una T
fected regions, there. would be, llttl
possibility Of any large shipments con
signed to Minneapolis arriving intact:

The Refreshment of Change.

4 charming old lady who was So
cially inclined, but who was kept
rather closely at home by the pres
sure OF many cares, used sometimes
Ia exclaim. Il do just love to drink
out Of somebody else's teacups"
4 fitting pendant to this agreea-
bic anecdote is another of little
girl whose supper invariably con
sisted Of bread and butter, milk and
apple sauce, IA monotonous diet, of
which she frequently complained.
One dav she was asked out to sup
per at ne .por's. At a late hour
the hostess found that no apple
sauce had been prepared for the lit
tle guest, so she sent one Of the
maids 10 the child's home for a sup
ply. The little girl on returning to
her mother was enthusiastic about
the delightful visit and particularly
about the beautiful supper" when
she had been allowed to pour milk
and cream for herself from the dain-
liest little pitchers.
"And, oh, such good apple sauce,
gamma, the best | ever tasted"

ECCENTRIC TRAVELLERS.
a European Tour That Was Confined
to a Canal Boat.

An Euglishman once went abroad
with the design Of taking an exten-
size tour on the continent, but was
tIyerted from his purpose by find
Ing himself 80 comfortable on board
4 canal boat in Holland or Belgium
that hc went no farther, preferring
10 be Il daily passenger IN the boat,
which went and returned between
certain limits on alternate DAYS.
1t seems to be agreed that this
man started on his intended tour in
1915, the year of the battle of Wa
terloo, that he landed at u,tend
with the design OF pushing on to
Brussels and that III" canal boat
which arrested his progress was one
that Piled between Bruges and
Ghent, starting one day al Ghent
and the other at Bruges.
According to one account which
we have heard, the individual IN
question went abroad not merely to
see foreign lands, but in the hope of
meeting with lilustrlous personaGeS
and distinguished characters. which
will account for his making BruS-
sells in 1915. Finding, however,
that on board the canal boat he not
only fell in withmany persons worth
meeting, but had the opportunity
of sitting down with them at a ta-
bile d'hotc, he thought he could not
do better, and went backward and
forward, never getting farther than
Ghent, until the railroads were in
vented, when he drowned himself on
the last trip of the passage boat.
Another Enghshman is said to
have made a bet that Van Am
burgh, the lion tanner, would be eat
en by his ferocious pupils within a
given time and followed him about
the continents of Europe and Amer
lca in the hope of seeing him at
last deyoured and SO winning his
stake. Eugene Sue introduces this
mythical EngIjshman among the
dramatis personae OF The Wander
ing jew"
The Russians also have story of
an eccentric traveller, likewise an
Englishman, who posted overland
and in the depth of winter to st.
| Petersburg merely to see the fa-
nous wrought iron gates of the
summer garden. He is said to have
died Of grief at finding the gates
superior to those at the entrance to
his own park at home.
Add to this the lying traveller,
who boosted that he had been every
where. and who on being asked how
he liked Persia replied that he
scarcely knew, as he had stayed
there only day.

A Tallow ProieetiIe.

Perhaps YOU might smile with in
.2redulity if any one should tell YOU
that it is possible to fire tallow
candle from gun with such force
that it will pierce board, but it is
true nevertheless. The reason is
that when the candle reaches the
board every particle of matter COM
posing it is in a state of intense We
locity. At the moment of contact
the particles of matter composing
the board are in a state of rest, and
as the density of the candle multi
piled by its velocity is greater than
the density Of the board at rest the
greater force oyercomes the weaker
and the candle breaks through and
makes a hole in the board.
