STANFORD PREXY
BREAKS LOOSE
David Starr Jordan Out With
Hammer Against Ameri-
can College Game.

Los Angeles, Dec M.-President David
starr Jordan of Stanford university, in an
address to the students of Occidental col
lege yesterday, branded American football
as ''unethical. unchristian and unsports-
manlike." and endorsed rugby football as
the only game for American colleges DR..
Jordan not only attacked football as
played in this country, but accused Wal
ter Camp and other advocates of the
American game of corrupting the Eng
lish into the American style of play in
order to get control of the game.
The mass play in the American game,
ne said, ''is a monstrosity 1t is the
greatest evil ever introduced into play
A game placing a premium on brute
strength is devoid of sportsmanlike quail
tiles"
Dr. Jordan condemned professionalism
and commercialism in college football
and said that pure amateur football was
rare thing in this country.
Declares for independence.
1T is about time for a declaration of
independence by American colleges and
universities he said. Excepting HaT-
ward and Cornell, practically all the large
universities employ questionable methods
in securing athletes. Michigan has hired
professionals such as Ralph Rose 1 do
not mean TO say that the university was
directly responsible Tor the VOCATION OF
football ethics, but the alumni and cheap
gamblers of the town brought in men
who were professionals and paid them
salaries to play on Michigan athletic
teams.
"Eckersan of Chicago university failed
10 pass the entrance requirements of the
University of Wisconsin, but yet he was
received at Chicago with open arms. Yale
and Chicago give scholarships to men of
athletic ability.

FRIpAY. pEcEMRER Is. Loo.
Amicted with Yellows.

A magnificent lot of gush and
purely imaginery stun was furnish
ed the readers of metropolitan pa
Ders on the mine horror at Moron
gah. Some of it was so silly that
the editors of the papers ought to
have got onto it without half an
effort.
For instance the Pitssburg Press
q couple of nights ago published a
story about the cause of the explo-
sion, something like this:
The cause of the accident has
been established beyond a doubt.
The man at fan No. 8 caused it. One
an pumps air into the mines and the
other sucks it out. Just before the
explosion the man at No. s fan re-
versed the current. toward the
river and this caused the expIo-
sion"
That r of stun is SO silly that
it is needless to deny it. 1t Is but
to laugh, when one reads it.
Such journalism may be modern
but certainly imposes on the intelli-
gence of West Virginia readers, if
not on that of metropolitan readers.
Some OF the big city papers also
had the yellows on accoun OF the
horror and painted it in a way
that none on the scene recognized
as having anything to do with the
real situation.
Those who hold the profession in
regard and have pride in it wonder
where the fault lies-whether with
the paper themselves or with the
men sent out sto handle something
they have shown themselves ignor-
n OF and are 90 Indifferent to learn
about, In either case such fabrica-
lions and false conclusions are to
be severely condemned by all ex-
cept fiction iends.

A Tax Reform reminder.

The attention OF our Democratic
friends, as well as others who mas
be interested, is respectfully direct
ed to the following tax reform re-
hinder:
For the a 1903:
City tax rate on $4,000 valua-
ton 100
State, county and district tax
rates on $4,000 valuation OF
city property; aggregate. 100
Grand total ESQ
Taxes on 100000. .......... $500
For the year 1907:
City tax rate on $4,000
valuation ..............$ O.45
State, county and district
tax rates on $4,000 val
uation OF city property.
aggregate ........-.... 0.5S ID
Grand total .......$ O.9s 1-3
Taxes on $1,OOO.e0. 1888
In the year 1908. under the old
tax laws, a resident of the city OF
C%larksburg, owning q note for
81, 100000, drawing interest at the
legal rate of six per centum per
annum, would have left, after paying
the taxes on his note, an income OF
3 1-5 per centum.
In the year 1907, under Republic
c,u tax reform laws. the Clarksburg
owner OF the $1,000 note has more
than ) per centum left after his
| taxes are paid. In other words, the
! C~larksburg resident. with $1,000
! for Investment, saves in taxes in
the year 1907, $1s.17, as compared
!, with the year 1908. The saving is
nearly two-thirds.
And yet our Democratic friends
have undertaken to run two cam
paigns based on denunciation OF the
new tax laws!

Final Footings Show South Dakota

OuS State.

Pierre, S. d., August 31.-The
final footings of all classes of prop
erty in the state after the work of
the board of equalization has been
footed up shows the grand total as
sessed valuation of the state is $780,
640,077; of this the largest part is
farm lands, that class of property
going at $1GO. 900, 900, and all other
property in the state, including COR
porate property at $100,o00,0 900.
There has been an increase OF $685.
000, 900 for the year, of which $27,-
0OO, 900, was in farm lands.
The detail of increase of lands
shows an increase of 3.29. per cent,
in the acreage, 1884 per cent in the
average price per acre, and a total
increase of S.11 per cent per mile,
and a total increase of 44.79 per cent
in the valuation.
The difference in all classes of
property between this year and last
year is:
Lands, 1906, $133,556,S0 Lands,

STATE SCHOOL FUND
HAS Large LOANS
$::s42,7OO Loaned on Farm SccnIit,
Throughout the State,

Pierre, S. D.-The state land de-
partment has loaned $362,3OO of
the permanent school fund for the
first half of 1907. BY far the larger
part Of this is in the shape of farm
loans $342,7Q0 going on that class
Of securities, and the loans are scat
tered in nearly every county in the
state. Lincoln county asked for the
largest amount for the time getting
S27,260. While the law allows this
fund to be loaned on school and mu-
nicipal securities, it has ben the Gus
tom in the past and is yet SO to
give the farm loans the preference
and while a few loans were made on
bond securities, the farmers were
given the best of it. School loans
made amount to $4,000, mostly in
small amounts; and the municipal
loans were $4,000 having been made
in Charles Mix and Gregory coun
ties. The counties taking school
loans were Aurora, Butte, Day
Grant. Gregory, Hanson, McCook
Moody, Stanley, and Walworth coun.
ties. Ever since the interest rate or
the state loans were reduced from
six to five per cent there has beer
no surplus in the state fund, which
at one time had grown to nearly
half a million dollars lying idle il
the treasury. Of curse the genera
prosperity With itf attendant de-
mand for money had something tt
do with the demand, but the lower
interest rate, and work of the de
partment, started the people in the
direction Of state loans, and it is no
likely that there will be another
surplus soon.

Was Carried Into Drug Store and
Wounds Dressed ,by DIR. Wheeler
Not Seriously Hurt.

Wednesday forenoon Charles Div
it was run down by Alfred Emrick's
automobile and quite badly injured.
Mr.. Emrick was coming up Main
street and had just passed under the
big arch at the corne of Main and
Seventh street when Mr.. Divit
started to cross the street from the
First National bank building to the
car, neither did he hear the horn,
and the car struck him when about
in the middle of the street. The car
was going at a pretty good speed
and struck the pedestrian with force
enough to knock him down and pass
over him before Mr.. Emrick got it
stopped. Mr.. Divit was carried into
Fallon's drug store where DR.. Wheel
err dressed his wounds. He was bad
ly shaken up and received several
bad cuts about the face and back,
but there were no serious injuries.
1t was a narrow escape and Mr.. Divit
can be thankful that the car only
weighed $50 pounds instead of a
ton or more.
