lation.
 II it became necessary in order to make his point that some one other than NIT. Cannon should be chosen as speaker, there would be no par ticular reason why the presidential influence might not be exerted in fay or of a man pledged to the execution of the tariff policy of the administra- tion.
 Taft Conferring with Leaders.
 This is the real situation at the present time. MT. aft is holding con ferences with the members of the house as they arrive at Hot Springs and endeayoring 70 find out from them what the prospects are for tar if revision. He has no personal ob- iectiOn to MT. Cannon. He fully rec ongnizes that many of the violent at tacks made upon the speaker have been for the abuses of the system rather than the faults of the inGivid- ual
 On the other hand, the extreme con servatism of the speaker is well known and the hearings already had before the ways Iud means commit tee indicate with sufficient clearness that the members Of that committee. which will frame the tariff law, are not generally favorable to a reduction of duties and are not disposed, appar- , ently, to bring out evidence in that . direction.
 Mir. Taft Is a Larmonizer, but he also Is a remarkably good fighter when he gets into action. He and the controlling element. of the house have been at oGds for years over the question of the Philippine tariff, anu yet this fact has not developed any personal friction. MI. Taft has been in public life so long that he Is fuIly aware that harmony between execu tive and congress Is indispensable.
 Public Opinion Taft Weapon.
 That harmony can be achieved sometimes, however, by defining the party policy and then arousing Lub- lie opinion in it's behalf. That was the course pursued by President Roosevelt in the opening up of the campaign for the railroad rate law. When he started ia on that fight the president soon found that almost all the influential leaers of the house were personally opposed to the oe- sired legislation. He had to overcome their prejudices by personal appeaIs ana to CeTldln extent Dy COeTClOu. Everybody remembers how the western states became aroused and how one member Of the house after another suddenly changed his views upon discovering that opposition to 1 the presidents policy probably would 1 cost him his seat. MT. Taft has an opportunity to be gin a campaign of the same sort. There is still more than three months before his inauguration. During that time 1t might be an easy, matter to arouse public opinion to such an eX- tent that the new organization of the | house will become amenable to 1t from the outset. Mir. Cannon, for instance, | Is a standpatter and something of a
 reactionary in his way, but he is not necessarily an obstinate man and if l he became convinced there was an I overwhelming public sentiment back of the new administration he might l be willing to sink his own views, as ] so many of his associates in the house i did on the railroad biii. In that event there would be no danger of a clash 1 between the administration and the ! little coterie of men which controls 1 the house of representatives.

WHAT MR. TAFT THINKS
 ABOUT SPEAKER CANNON

Raymond, in a dispatch from Wash ington to the Chicago Tribune says:
 It Is extremely unfortunate, both for President-elect Taft and Speaker Cannon, that an apparent clash should have arisen so long in advance of the inauguration.
 It Is a mistake to suppose MT. Taft has undertaken in apy arbitrary way to oppose the election or Speaker Can non. All he has done has been to set to work certain inquiries. to find out whether there is a reasonable prospect of actual teriff revision un- der the present and prospective or. ganization of the house.
 The president-elect believes that the pledge given by the party plat form and reiterated by him on the stump should be carried out to the letter. He is convinced that if there should be any bogus tariff revision, without any real benefit to the con sumer, the first result would be the election of a democratic house two years hence and la CT on his own e. feat for reelection. Under the clr cumstances it is entirely natural that the president-elect should begin to look over the ground to find out what the chances are of satisfactory legls lation on the tariff situation.
 Guiding Committes is Standpat.
 The ways and means committee IS overwhelmingly of standpat persua- sion. If the thing rested with thai body there would be no revision which would be even remotely satisfactory to the people. It is absolutely nee essary, therefore, that the president. elect should endeavor to secure some assurances from the leaders of the house that the first great policy o1 his administration will be honestly supported in congress and that ne shall not be compelled to go before the public and admit that the party had failed to redeem the pledges so freely made during the campaign.
 If it should be found out that the speaker, the committee on rules, and the other leaders If the boree gro on r0sed to real rAvie'"n of the tor'~ there should be two things fer tho ed- ministratiOn to do One would be tn sit back and admit failure from Ine outset. The other thing would be for the new president to use his great influence to secure the desired legis-

FL PAso PLAYS DOUGLAS
The Fl Paso Herald saws.

The Fl Paso Herald says:
 The Fl PasO football team will play the Douglas Y. M. c. A. team here on Thanksgiving day. Manager W. s. Crawford. of the Fl Paso eleven, received an answer to his telegram last night asking the Roswell team to play here against the local team on Thanksgiving. Manager Webster or the Roswell team stated that arrange ments had been made to play the Az ricultural college at MesilIa Park on that day. He said in his wire that he hoped the game would not inter fere with the Fl Paso team on that date and wished Fl Paso success Tn her game.
 "Tbe merchants of Las Cruces have raised $500 to cover the expenses of the game, and the two territoriaI schools will line up on the MesfIla Park field Thursday afternoon to play for the championship of New Mexico. A telegram was received there Friday accepting the offer to play, and the Roswell cadets will reach MesfIla Park on Wednesday.
 Manager Crawford has opened ne gotiations with the manager of the Roswell team to play the Fl Paso eIev- en here on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. The expenses of the game would be little more, az the mll- itary institute team could come from Mesilla Park to Fl Paso the day fol- lowing the game with the A. x Nj. In case these arrangements are per fected the Roswell team will be enter tained while here ny the members Of the Fl Paso team, and the ball that was to have been given Thanksgiving night by the manager for the team, wili be DostDoned Crfil Saturday night when the Roswell players will be the guests of honor at the dance"

Special Wire to L. J. Overlock.)
 BOSTON, Nov. 24-The rally in stocks today is simply confirmation of the very strong position of the mar ket. The coppers are just as scarce at this level as they were twenty points lower, and the next advance in the metal will cause a quick jump. Copper Range, which we advised strongly last night as being a pur- chase, advanced two points and slould sell at s90 before Christmas. The buying of Lake looks good and floor traders are talking of s20 for it this week. Isle Royal closed very strong and will be jumped in the morning.

IMPUpENT POLICEMAN.

Three prominent young business
men. who had just left their places of
business and were awaiting the ar
rival a street car, were the victims of
the unwarranted spleen of an impu-
dent policeman, at the corner of Cedar
street and Fourth avenue, Wednes-
day night. The officers, who had just
come on duty, ordered the three men
to move so as to not blockade the
sidewalk. This they did though at
the time two of them we're in the
street, while the third was on the curb
ing completely out of the way of pc
destrians.
The men having moved as request
ed, one of the officers, who was par
ticularly oficious, began to mutter or
rather speak to his companion, using
language that good morals and the
postal authorities prevent being quoted
by the Globe The officer then APP
preached the men, who were not
dressed like "bums," and with often
sive language ordered them to move
on. They grasped their clubs as II
ready to use them at the least provo
cation and drove the men away as i
they were a band of outlaws.
It was impossible at the time t
learn the name Of the policeman who's
language and action was so offensive

Mr.. M. A. White the well-known
veteran of the Civil War, who also

the oldest employee in the city of
Nashville of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, has just returned from
a twelve day vacation. While away
Mr.. White visited Louisville, Coving-
ten, KY, Cincinnati and French Lick,
Indiana. Mr. White had most en-
joyable trip meeting many Of his old
acquaintance at French Lick. He
was the guest of his daughter.

SPORT
FOOTBALL.

The last few days of September
were ideal days for football, and with
the opening of the schools Of Nash
vile the readers of the Globe are
anxious to learn what is being done
by them along this line The sport
ing editor has been unable to get any
line on the teams that are to repre-
sent the several schools, and he is
at a loss to know what to do. This
season will no doubt bring to light
many new features in the football
world, and the public is waiting to
see how the changes in the rules will
work. OF course, last season brought
about many changes. The game was
made more open and less dangerous;
the old mass plays and straight buck,
so famous in the old game, had been
displaced by the fast end runs and
long forward passes, which had the
effect of letting the public see who
was carrying the ball and at all
times see just exactly where and who
made the gains, In the old game one
could not tell who made the gains or
who was carrying the ball.
The rules this season are going to
give a better chance to see the game
in all of its finer points. . Only at
rare intervals will we see the old
straight line plunge or the heavy
mass play which made the game so
dangerous in the old days.
The coaches now have turned their
attention from the heavy line-plun-
ging backfeld player to the fleet
footed athlete who can successfully
flank the opponents ends and who
has developed the skill of the drop
kick and forward pass. The line
men also must be strong men, able
to stand off the opposing lines, and
yet they must be fast enough to mix
in every play. The ends must be
extra fast men with a wonderful
knowledge of the game, for upon
them is the responsibility of getting
down the field on the kicks and break
ing up the forward pass whenever
tried. 1t is safe to say that the team
with strong line and two good ends
will be a hard team to score against.
Of course, coaches differ as to the
use tends, as well as they do about
the style Of play; yet when it comes
to the general principle they all will
agree that the teams of to-day de
mand men who, above all, are fast
Speed seems to be- the watchword
When various teams trot ont on the
field instead of seeing large amount
of avoirdupois as heretofore, you will
see the athletes with hardened mus
/. ,ele.a4plenty J. of4.speeda and alert. This
does not mean that you will see ne
large men, but it does mean thai
when you see them large they will
have enough speed to make then
hold their own
Now for the team that will repre-
sent Nashville. Of course we can sa!
nothing about what will be, but cal
hope that they will continue to keel
up that high standard set long year
ago. All the teams have suffered
from the loss of good men, but it i
hoped that the coaches in charge cal
develop from the material on ham
men to fill the places left vacant
This is by no means an easy jot
for men like King and King, TER
and Allison are not found every day
But here's hoping that when tn
season is on and the referee blow
! his signal to start play, all the team
will have men to, wear the moleski
skin that are trained and skilled i
the game.

and the practical result will help
worthy enterprise operated by colored
men and women. Race pride will do
more for the negro than Indulgence in

There seems to be nothing left to
be said to encourage the movement
which has its great beginning in this
historical city.

Another Spelling School.

The spelling exercises held Friday
No. 3, were we'll attended, several being
present from town.
Fred Dumke and John Robertson
chose sides, then spelling began, the
leader choosing from opposite side
when one of his force spelled word
missed on the other side. In a short
time Robertson had all of Dumke's
force, then the same leaders chose up
and tried It again, with the same re-
suit.
In the final contest for honors, Miss
Ina Goudy, teacher of the Minnekahta
school, won. The ranks rapidly thinned
down to three, Miss Goudy. Geo. Brady
and John Robertson. After a time
Brady missed 'shinney." The other
two continued until all the words on
SIC tShae list we're spelled, then words were
given from spelling book. About
this time Robertson got "diphtheria' in
a bad form, and as it isa disease of the
throat he had to quit, leaving Miss
Goudy winner.
Our Supt. of schools, Mrs. Anderson,
was present, and pronounced words
during the entire spelling, giving
general satisfaction to all.

A Delighted Crowd.

Last Saturday evening the opera
house was crowded to it's fullest ca,
pacity, when, under the direction Of
the M. r. ladies, an entertainment of
more than ordinary merit was given.
The vocal numbers by Mrs. @. W. Har.
!. gems we're charmingly rendered, great
ly to the delight of all, while the piano
trio by Miss Denman, Mrs. West and
Mrs. Matteson, won the plaudits Of
the hearers, As pianist, John Evans
always delights the people, as he GER
tainly did this time. The "pantomime"
-an experience in Hot Springs
one Of the amusing things that con-
vulsed the audience, wherein DIR. Mat
teson, was the dentist who pulled a
molar for Ward Stanley.
The two-act comedy, "Sunbonnets" !,
in which eleven of Hot Springs fair
women took part, was the hit 81 the
evening, and great praise is due Mrs.
Warner for the tireless efforts put
forth oy her to make it a success. AS
light and most taking comedy it was
certainly mirth- provoking success,
and each participant acted her part as
though she were no novice.
The tableaux, "Reveries of Bach
elor'', was an attractive and greatly
appreciated number. In his reveries
the bachelor saw his first love, the
summer girl, widow, Japanese girl,
golf girl, winter girl, society girl, col
lege girl, the nurse, western girl, auto
mobile girl, and last, again his first
love. Each character was beautifully
gowned and artistically poised, while
John Mueller's electric stereopticon
lights we're thrown upon them,
making the scene most beautiful and
striking. These characters we're ad-
mirably selected and we'll sustained.
Mrs. West appeared in the final
number as "His First Love- and clos
ed by reciting that exquisit poem, "My
Ship, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in
most fascinating manner.
1t was an evening of enjoyment to
the large number present and brought
the society SS5 so.
