IT'S A BRUTAL GAME.
Casualties Which Attend Football,
When Played in Ones Dreams.

Wnen FIdyeo IN OHS OTedtHS'
An English sporting paper details
the happenings on an evening before
an important soccer football match.
One hero, euphonioously named
Hick Belt, lay dreaming that he was
in action on the field and lashed out
a mighty kick at the dream ball. His
foot struck the iron bedstead and two
toes were broken. He was unable to
play on the morrow.
Not long after his clamor had been
subdued two other players apparently
got the idea in their dreams that a
third member of the team was an Off
cial who had made an unfair decision.
They arose in their sleep and almost
smothered the other with pillows.

THt STATE UNIVERSITY

The Elk River Star News has
this editorial reference to the
Minnesota state university.
"The state university is evil
dently preparing to make an un-
usually heavy raid on the legis-
lature next winter, judging by
the activity of it's publicity bur-
eau which is running Specially
prepared articles in the daily
press. The educational combine
comes pretty near having the
state by the short hair when it
comes to appropriations"
Bro. Dare ought to be ashamed
of himself for giving utterance
to the above sentiments. The
state university is a big thing.
It now enrolls some 5000 students
and it costs money to house
them to say nothing of the in
structors and apparatus necess-
ary to give them even fair ed
ucatiOn.
If Minnesota is to support a
university at all she should not
do things by halves. The plant
of the university is very valuable
and is daily becoming so. New
buildings are needed all the time
to meet the growing demands of
the institution.
To the disgrace of Minnesota
be it said that the state univer-
sity pays it's professors such low
salaries that other institutions
are continually getting them
away. Several first class men
have recently left a beggarly
pittance of 81, 800 or $500 per
year at the ~" to step into 81,
1000 places in other colleges and
universities.
This is big state and a rich
state, but it is hampered by
some cheese-paring legislators
who like to pose as economists
i'm everything that pertains to
appropriations. There is no
necessity of wasting money, but
the state university should
be supported handsomely. These
filings at a raid on the treasury
are in bad taste to say the least.
The presidents conservation
convention at the White House
was historic gathering which
cannot fail to do great good.
The assembling of fortyfour
governors and number of other
prominent men and experts is
bound to bring out a great many
practical ideas. Minnesota s
governor was prominent in the
convention, making a ten min
ute speech the first day that
elected hearty applause and
attracted wide attention, while
he was selected by President
Roosevelt to preside at the Sec
ond section. Minnesota can al
ways deliver the goods.

ESTRADA PALMA.
ninistrator

The death of Estrada Palma removes nsu'o
of no little historical interest and OF mucn per
sonal worth In the long annals or Cuoas re-
volt against misgovernment and her aspiration
toward independent national existence there is
Dfobably no name more worthy or reihempfahCe
and of gratitude than his, nor Is there any IN
vested with more of heroism and of pathos In
spred with greater zeal for Cuban freeuom
through the torturng to death of his mother
bv the Islands oppressors, he did not permit
his faith in Cuban self government to fall when,
a generation later he was wickedly betrayed by
his profeSSed friends and by those upon WDom
he had conferred unreasonable Dement'S.
The story of his administration as President
of the Cuban Republic and especially OF the IN
rIdents which eliminated In his resignation OF
that office need not be rehearsed. 1t is SUM-
cient to remark, We have remarked BEFORE
that he was the victim of one OF the most
vicious Of conspiracies against CONSTITUTIONAL
government which have ever been recorded He
was made to bear the burden Of others mis-
deeds. and was finally sacrificed to the deliber-
ate and wanton refusal of the Cuban Congress
to do its constitutional duty. Had his advice
and urgings been followed by his countrymen
Cuba would not have suffered the humiliation
of being again put under foreign ADMINISTRATION
and the United States would have been spared
the responsibility and the labor OF Intervening
and rehabilitating the insular government
That after his long years Of unselfsh service to
his native isle he should have been thus be-
trayed and maligned a depressing lllustra-
ton of the ingratitude of which men are some
times capable.
His last days We're, however, cheered by the
knowledge that the rectitude Of his course was
recognized by all whose esteem was worth hav-
ing and by seeing his country on the way TO
restoration of her autonomy on a more secure
basis than ever before; and since this latter con-
dition had been secured because of his sacrifice
he doubtless found in 1t much consolation. His
name will live loved and revered in the annals
of Cuba, and will always have an honorable
place on the patriot roll OF the world

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

one noteworthy feature of the election
the growth of independent voting all over the
country Ohio Indiana North Dakota and
Minnesota while giving their electoral votes to
Taft chose Democratic Governors. Missouri
elected Republican Governor by a good plu-
rality although It was veEy close on the Pres
fdency and in many other states there was
wide difference between the pluralites of the
Governors and Of the electoral tickets. The
difference in strength between the state and
national tickets in Minnesota was about 125,0O0
votes, and in Ohio 5000. In New York State
Mr.. Taft outran Mr.. Hughes about 10000, and
in Illinois he led the Republican candidate for
Governor by about 120,Oo0. IN Massachusetts
there was a difference Of about 10000 between
the state and national tickets, and in Connect
cut of about $500, and so it goes throughout
the country generally. 1t is estimated that Mr..
Bryan ran about 100000 behind the total of the
votes for Democratic state tickets. This split
ticket voting especially marked in the
cities. Mir Hughes running about 1900 behind
Mr. Taft in New York City, and Mr.. Deneen,
the Republican candidate for Governor in Iii
nois about the same number of votes behind
Mr. Taft in Chicago Cook County, Of which
Chicago is the CHEF part went against Mr..
Deneen on Tuesday, although four years ago
he carried il by 1870 600. And last but not least
among the instances Of independent voting,
Judge Lindsey, of Denver, the father of the
juvenile court" running independently, got
more votes than both the regular candidates to-
gether
Independent voting has been a gradual
growth, but II has now reached proportions
meyer before attained, and it promises 10 keep
growing. The situation is full of hope
especially for city government A large proper
ton of independent voters means that divorce
of local from national politics which has long
been needed TO improve municipal government

been proposed and some tried. 1t also tends to
improve government generally by keeping the

SOME SOLDIERS OF THE LEGION"

SOME SOLDIERS OF THE LEGION"
1t is one of the ironies of diplomacy that after
& settlement has been effected Of the really
great international questions between France
and Germany over Morocco there should arise
another war scare over a matter of petty detail
involving a few deserters from the French
army. We cannot suppose that any breach or
the peace or even of friendly intercourse Will
follow but the incident is instructive as a re-
minder of the possibility that small spark may
explode great magazine.
1t appears that several of the German mem
beers of the Foreign Legion recently deserted
from that famous body OF troops. Their ante
cedents are not reported, and it Is not at this
distance known whether they belonged to that
notorious minority of the Legion which is com
posed of men who left their countries for their
countries good, to the honorable majority
which comprises the finest fighting men and
some of the best officers under the French nag.
Possibly they were Asatians, OF whom there
are many in the Legion, and who enter that
body because they do. not want to enter the
German army and cannot enter the regular
French army Neither is il known here why
they deserted, whether through sheer dSloy-
altv or TO escape the more than iron discipline
of the Legion At any rate, they deserted vi
course the French authorities wanted to deal
with them according TO law. But Germany
claimed that they were still German subjects,
and therefore entitled TO Germany's protection,
and when the French demurred to that PROPOSE
ton the German government asked that the
matter be referred to arbitration. France as
scented on condition that the arbitral inquest
should also cover the allegation THAT the men
had been led to desert by German influences at
CasabIanca Germany declined to accept this
condition. ard France declined 70 assent to ar
bitration without It. Germany also demanded
an apology for the strenuous manner Of French
officers who sought to take the deserters from
the asylum afforded by German consular Of
fetal and this France declined TO grant So
there is a deadlock, in which war scare" is
perceived.
There is reason for suBpecting that this Incl
dent is being magnifed beyond It's due proper
tiOns for the sake of divertlng attention from
other things which the German government
would prefer not to have exploited. If such be
the case we may expect the controversy over
these soldiers of the Legion To be carried just
far enough but not too far. 1t will be made TO
serve It's purpose but will not be permitted to
endanger peace or IN impair good relations.

Mr. Bryan is evidently stunned by the magni-
tude Of his defeat. IN his public statement on the
subject he is unable to account for 1t, ITO say
what causes contributed most to the Repub-
lican victory The platform was good and he
believes that most of its policies will yet come

tee and he doesn't see what more they could
have done than they did. And he himself put
forth herculean efforts for the success Of the
ticket SO he goes on, like one In daZe.
It is apparent that Mr.. Bryan has not seen
one meaning in the result which ell the rest or
the country sees for there Is no indication that
he perceives the useleSsness Of employing the
Democratic party further as the vehicle of his
ambitions II shall be glad" he says Ito i'm

there is no suggestion that he accepts Tuesdays
verdict regarding the opportunities Of public life
as final. Indeed. there is an intimation in the
last paragraph that the thrice defeated one Is
not without hope for the future. Rejoicing in
the victory of his party in Nebraska, he says
that with Democratic Governor and Legs-
lature that state will be able in part to put the
principles of the Democratic platform Into prac-
tice and he trusts that Nebraska will be

SMALLER VOTING DISTRICTS.

In letter from q voter in this borough which
we publish in another column the point is made
that the facilities offered for voting last Tues
day were inadequate. Nobody can dispute our
CORRESPONDENTS statement. The arrangements
were little short OF scandalous, since in hun
dreds Of election districts voters had to form In
lines in the streets and whit half an hour or
more to get access TO the booths Tuesday was
perfect day. Had 1t raned or been cold and
windy, as Wednesday was. great hardship would
have been inflicted the sufferers in the voting
lines.
II is obvious that Mayor Mcclellan made Il
serious mistake when he vetoed last spring the
act requiring division OF the many over-con-
gested voting districts In this city, giving the
insufficient excuse that Ii would cost too much.
The city budget has been increased by $4,000
600 In the last two years. largely TO make life
