SECRET PRACTICE
At HARVARD

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 15-The prac-
tice OF tho Harvard football team yester-
day afternoon was entirely secret. There
was little preliminary work done and the
scrimmage extended for three-quarters of
an hour No regular game was played,
but the work was all devoted 10 strength
ening the parts OF the Crimson's game
which have proved TO be the weakest.
The defence came i'm for the biggest test
to-day. The second team was given the
ball at the middle of tho field and was
downs the second team backs were hurled
against tho Varsity forwards but In
spite of the number OF downs allowed the
second failed to gain. The second then
was given the ball on the l0-yard line and
again its offence was directed at the Var
sity. The result was about the same. In
seven downs the second team only nctted
as many yards. although Charlie Daily
played quarter on the second and drove
his men hard.
The Varsity defence did not prove to be
so effective against the forward pass
which the second worked successfully
The Varsity tried a number OF punts
from behind its goal line and the protec-
tion for Burrs kicks was strengthened
The Varsity was then given the ball on
the 3O-yard line, and straight football
carried Il down the field for a touch
down. Wendell going over the line
through right tackle.

throughout the whole practice by Dave

making OF an end in him.

BLUE READY
FOR TIGERS

New York Nov. l5.-At Yale Field yes
terday afternoon, with 1000 undergrad
yates wildly cheering the individual play
ers in turn, the Varsity went through
the final scrimmage I'm preparation for the
Princeton game. Intermingled with the
charge were the defiant football songs
which inspired the players and lent AMI
nation TO the picturesque scene.
The team was accompanied To the field
by the undergraduates, headed by
band. After 10 minutes of secret drlil,
i'm which there was no scrimmagc, the
Varsity and scrubs were lined up. The
regulars were set to defend their goal
line from the fierce attacks OF the second
eleven. which was given the ball on the
Varsity 10-yard line time and time
again. The defence was impregnable fof
T. minutes. but Denny finally slipped
through a hole and scored on the Var
sity. This ended the work Of the team
for the day.
Tad Jones did not play and Howard
Jones was kept out of the scrimmage
that his injured ear may have little
chance to heal before the Princeton game.
Yesterdays work was simply designed to
develop the defensive play and 10 keep
the men in condition.

Lincoln, Neb Nov. i5.-William j.
Bryan will accept the Democratic nomi-
nation for President In 1903, but he VIII
neither ask nor make a fight for 1t.
He says that for year or more he
has been pressed TO answer the ques-
tion, will you accept a nomination and
he believes the public is entitled TO an
answer and to know the position he oc-
cupies.
The question that ought to weigh most.
he says, is whether his nomination will
strengthen the Democratic party more
than the nomination of someone else. lie
declares that rot only will he not seek
or ask for the nomination, but he will
not assume TO decide the question Of
availability, and If the prize falls to
another, he will neither be disappointed
nor disgruntled.
At the same time he denies that he has
waited this long in a desire TO see whom
the Republicans are likely TO nominate, or
TO ascertain the chances OF victory. Mr..
Bryan gave out the following statement:
Now that the election of 1907 is past
and plans are being made for next year S
campaign. Mr.. Bryan feels that state
ment Is due 10 the public. Those who
prefer another candidate are entitled TO
know this position, and those who favor
his nomination have a right TO demand
an answer to the question so often put:
VIII you accept a nomination. His re-
fusal 10 answer the question has led 10
the circulation OF many false reports. and
unfriendly newspapers have taken advan-
tage OF his silence TO misrepresent his
attitude.
Mr.. Bryan will not ask for or seek
a nomination, and he will not assume to
decide the question OF his availability.
He has been so amply recompensed by
his party for what he has done and for
what he has endeavored to do that he
cannot claim a nomination as n reward; |;
neither should his ambition be considered.
for he has had honors enough from his
party to satisfy any reasonable ambition.
LET THE VOTERS DECIDE.
THE only question that ought TO weigh
with the party is whether the party can
be strengthened and aided more by his
nomination than by the nomination of
someone else. If he can serve the party
by being its candidate he will accept the
nomination and make the best fight he
can IT. however, the choice falls upon

STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

Clayton, n. j., Nov. 15.--What is said
TO be the fastest mile ever made by a
locomotive on n track containing curves
was covered yesterday by steam locomo-
tive No. e5. which is being used I'm tho
special tests being CONDUCTED here by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, when IL travelled
a mile at n speed OF 9l.6 miles per hour.
The trial was made over the specially
built track between this place and Frank
lnville
One of the new electric locomotives
was also given a trial Two trips were
made, the first at the rate OF y miles
an hour and The second at speed OF 1S
miles an hour.
A portion of the specially built track
hns been la.d with steel ties, and after
the locomotive tests have been completed

and the course OF the Democratic party
should be the same. no matter which elc-
ment controls the Republican convention.
The Democratic party must make the
fight for what ii believes. While IL may
take advantage OF Republican mistakes.
1t must depend upon its own merits for
success and not upon terror Of its oppo-
nents
THE action OF the Republican conven-
tion may have its influence i'm the deter
mining OF the relative availability of
Democratic candidates. but IL ought not
TO have any influence in determining the
question whether the one chosen bySthe
Democrats should accept the nomination.
APPEAL TO CONSCIENCE.
The next campaign will be an appeal
TO the public conscience The investiga-
tlons have shown not only the corrupt use
of large campaign funds. but the only
source from which they can be drawn,
namely. the corporations that seek to con-
vert the government into "A business as
set. The Democratic party stands for the
doctrine of equal rights to all and special
privileges TO none, and therefore cannot
promise taNorS 10 faVor-Seeking corpora
tons. If It made such promises to the
corporations it would be guilty of duplc-
ity, for ii would have to betray the voters,
as the Republican party has done, In or
der to reward these corporations, as the
Republican party has rewarded them.
The Democratic campaign must be
carried on by volunteers who will work
because they desire the triumph of Demo-
cratic ideas. We cannot hope TO appeal TO
the sordid or to buy the purchasable. even
II such a course would contribute toward
Democratic success. No one should favor
Mr.. Bryan's nomination unless the party
is willing to open its books and show
where its contributions come from and
for what the money is expended The
Republican party ought to be challenged
10 conduct its campaign I'm this open and
honest way, and If the Republican lead
ers refuse TO accept the challenge the
Democrats can well afford TO leave the
issue with the public"

In neither race did the time seem excep-

The above declaration was made most
emphatically last evening by Prof. Will
liam Macdonald of Brown university at
the Rhode Island Universalist confer
cnce evening session held at the Church
OF Our Father. Pawtucket Speaking on
the theme. "The Relation OF the Church
10 the Problem OF Citizenship" the pro-
fessor declared that TO the church be-
longed the duties OF moral instruction OF
the community, moral leadership, rebuke
and culture.
In part he said; citizenship expresses
itself actively through voting. and the
problem Is TO get a vote which Is both
honest and unbiased There can he no
doubt that the standard of morality in
political life has been for a generation
declining. We are no longer so sensitive
20 moral considerations in politics as We
used TO be and we arc reaping the fruit of
this unhappy condition in a wide preva-
lence OF dishonest voting and dishonest
conduct office.
What are the causes OF this moral de-
cadence? First. the essential and funda-
mental dishonesty OF certain forms OF
modern business. particularly In the field
of high finance leading TO extravaganza
among the masses, TO servile regard for
mere money and the men who have II
and TO a desire TO get rich by speculation
