CowARD1cE OF coNGREssMEN

OOWAttOIOE UT OONGRESSMEN.
 Congressman Littlefield of Maine was quoted as saying in a speech in Brooklyn the other night that the average congressman is afraid of his own shadow. He was also said to have. declared that Speaker Cannon was the author of the epigram that the only thing more cowardly than congressman was a pair of congress- men. MT. Littlefield, since attention was called to his words, has quali- fled them a little, but for all prac- tical purposes they stand about as stated above. They are doubtless true in a certain sense. The man who time learns that the dear people" have a number of pet traditions and prejudices that he must beware of treading on. He also learns that every minute he is in Washington there is somebody back home nurs- ing an ambition to be his successor, and that if he holds his place in public life he must keep pretty close ly in touch with all factions of his constituency. In other respects, how ever, the charge is not true. The congressman ranks higher in integ- rity, industry and patriotism than the members of any other law-making body in the country, and the stand ard in congress is unquestionably higher now than it ever was before.

LANDS DELINQUENT.

ial advertisement was published yes terday of the lands signed to the Salt River Valley Water Users association on which the last annual assessment has not been paid. There will be a penalty of twenty-five cents attacked to each parcel of land so advertised and that must be paid in addition to the assessment. The assessment and penalty must be paid by June 29 or the lands will be "sold for taxes" by the association in the same manner as if they were delinquent to the coun- ty. It is gratifying to note however, that a very small acreage is behind this year and probably all of it will be paid up before June 29. Last year there were 165 members permitted their lands to go delinduent though most of them paid up. This year there were only S6 land owners who went delinquent

LOCAL TEAM LOSES
All New Havens Walloped by Acorns of Bridgeport for Sec
 ond Time This Year.
FAIL IN BUCKIMG THE LINE
Local Boys Do Nothing With Acorns' Defense, While Opponents Score
 Opportunely.
(spcc,al to the Jourpnl-courier.)

Bridgeport, Nov. 29.--The Acorns New Haven football team at Steeple- chase park this afternoon for the sec~ ond consecutive time this season. It was just two weeks ago that the Elm City team came here and were defeat ed to 0 by practically the same team that sent them rolling in the dust yesterday afternoon. by score of II to o.
 Yesterdays game clearly demon strated that the New Haven boys were not in the same class with the local boys who outplayed them at every stage of the game. The visiting team could gain but slightly when attempt Ing the Acorns line while on tho other hand the home team had but little trouble in walking right through the opposing line at times when score was needed.
 The game was a straight llne-bu Ing contest and what kicking occur red was very good, Riley of the home team outpunting Malone of the All New Havens on every exchange.
 Tn the first half the Acorns by clev- CT line bucking forced the ball down to the visitors ffteen-yard line where Griffin was given the ball and sent over the goal line for the first score of the game. As the angle was diff cult Riley failed to kick the goal by about q yard No further scoring l occurred during this half.
 In the second half after four min utes of play the Acorns scored their second touchdown. On the kickoff one of the visiting backs fumbled tho ball and an Acorn player fell on it. By hard line bucking the home team worked the ball to within five feet of tho New Haven's goal line, where Curley was sent over Riley kicked an easy goal.
 The game was witnessed by about fifteen hundred spectators, large number of whom came from New Ha- ven, The teams lined up as follows: Acorns, All-New Havens DunlsB .......... ......... brenndn LeIL eHU.
