when the Governor of New York leads the
cheering between the halves of one game and later,
as President of the United States. sends congratu
atory telegram to the victors in another,-it is not
because few young fellows have carried leather
ball to goal, because they have proved
themselves active and strong and brave it is because
at their time of life the position OF that leather ball
is the symbol of what means to them much
anything earth the success and the glory of the
college that they love. To say that Yale or Harvard
is only trying to move leather ball is like saying
that standard bearer is only trying to grasp stick
with piece of cloth it. No man comprehend
collegiate sport who closes his eyes to symbolism and
romance, to the bit of red ribbon that
would die win" Nor can any comprehend
youth who holds it to account for commercial mac
curacies in things of the spirit At recent game of
baseball college catcher running for foul fly
sprang the players bench and caught the ball
in midair. From one point of view he a fool;
but he the kind of fool like boy to be.
Right and Wrong of 1t
EVEN Joness limp, instead of being dirty
trick, former athlete has called it. is con-
ceivably piece of patriotic self-sacrfce, like ex-
posing oneself to draw the enemys fire and thereby
to friend and win victory for ones country
Or again, Jones's limp may be regarded not truly
patriotic because the strategy in it SO to speak,
artificial, because the information conveyed in 1t
gratutous1y, oficiousy false, like the deliberate
lies sent by coaches to the Associated Press To
persons VINO noIu tnlS view, SucH tIlckS as uodg-

baseball suddenly in unexpected direction
inherent in the games themselves: whereas pretend

tucking the ball under your arm. or gaining time
for breath by breaking your shoestring, though it
may help you win game for the college that you
love, may help you at too great cost to you and
to her
Others see in Jones's behavior low view of his
adversaries' honor. No decent college, they de-
clare, would attack lame man; and not applying
to football what they apply to ordinary affairs, they
maintain that the only manly playing is directed
against the strongest part of the line, not the weak

game for its of ntellgence) Still others retort

THE abolition of the railroad pass has been a good thing for both the people and the railroad companies, and if public poll was taken on the question it is be- lieved the action of the railroads in abolishing them would be rati- fled by a large majority. It is questionable whether the pos- sessor was not poorer in money at the end of the year than he would have been if he had not had it, by reason of taking trips when he should have been at home attending to business. No one can leave home for any length of time without spending something, and often the trips would not have been taken if he had his fare to pay. The money so spent on trip of this kind is a dead loss, to say nothing of the possible loss of business by reas- on of his absence. It seemed like a privation when the order was first promulgated, but sub- sequent events have shown that it was good thing for all concern ed.

McCracken, four brothers and four sisters, besides many relatives and friends to mourn her ab- sence. Nellie was concientious christian girl, being converted 8 ix years ago. The bright smile on her ace told of the sunny disposition, and purity of thought, never causing any one to feel uncomforta ble or unhappy. She was so desc rving to live, also so we'll prepared to die.
 May h CT little son be permitted to live out her allotted time and keep her name and untarnished life ever green.
 The m any friends extend their heart- felt sympathies to the near relatives in this their first great sorrow.

 In them you may find relief;
 Take refuge beneath his pinions, For healing is in his wings, And cast your cares upon him, Find comfort in holy things" CONTRIBUTED.

HE didn't have a dollar; he didn't have a dime, his clothes and shoes were looking just as though they'd served their time. He didn't try to kill himself to dodge misfortune's whacks. h. stead, he got some ashes and he filled five dozen sacks. Then, next he begged a dollar. In the paper in the morn he advertised tin polish that would put the sun to scorn. He kept on advertis- ing, and, just now, suffice to say, he's out in California at his cot tage on the bay.

IT is saidss that it's hard to keeI

IT is said that it's hard to keep a good man down. The bank failure at Eureka Springs and the failure of the Times Echo in- cident thereto last year put Giles E. Miller clear out of business. But Miller has his head from un. der the wave now and is getting out quite respectable daily pa- per under the affectionate name of "Miller's Daily Grist." AL though he goes to press four times with each paper he gets out on time and is more than 8 formidable rival of it's contem- porary. We suspect that Miller will re- establish himself in the forefront of the newspaper field in Eureka Springs.

Don't Be Blinded by Prejudice

@~OAA A)S ADAAASsS~ " ASJe~ASS
 It is an unfortunate condition, to say the least of it, for the mass es of the people of any com- munity or state to be so cement ed together by prejudice as to be blinded to the community's best interest.
 That the north should remain solid under all circumstances for the Republican party would be nothing less than a calamity to the country's progress. To tol- crate any action of the Republi- can machines would be suicidal to good government, and it is to the credit of nearly every north- ern state at some period in it's ex- istince it has thrown off the poli- ticial robes and given a new deal by the election of Democrats to office from Governor down. States with their hundreds of thousands of Republican majori- ties have done this more times than once.
 Then, if this statement and conclusion are correct, why would it not be a wise thing to do in the "Solid South?" No party has a monopoly on rascality, none have it on honesty.
 It may be said that such a sentiments growing in the south, but the machinists are so well fortified in their positions, pro- tected by legislation of their own making that nothing short by a political revolution can ever effect anything.
 Take Arkansas, for instance, at the last election two Republi- can State Senators were elected, one from each Hot Springs and Fort Smith districts, not because the districts are Republican for they are not, but because men were nominated on the Demo- cratic ticket whom the people refused to support, men un- worthy of the confidence of the people. These Republicans were elected but do you know both of them have been counted out? Such is the case according to the best of Democratic authorities. Several Democratic newspaper denounced the acts in the strong est terms, but what good does that do the people who will be forced to tolerate the machines actions by living under the laws supported by these tricksters?
 The principles of no party in existince are as dangerous to free government as racality.
 The hope of the country lies in the voter who will rise above prejudice and cast his ballot for honesty first, be he Republican, Democrat or what not.

NATIONAL TICKETS.

Following is copy of the of- ficial ballot as the voters will find it when they go to vote on Mo- vember 3. It would be we'll for each voter to study it so he will have no trouble in voting it. If a democrat wishes to vote for the nine democratic electors he must erase the names of all electors below the democratic candidates. If republican wishes to vote for the nine republican electors, he must mark out all electors above the names of the republi- can electors as we'll as the names of al. electors below the republi- can names. Then it will be easy to vote for congressman by eras- ing the name of one candidate, leaving the name for whom you wish to vote.
