BLUE AND GRAY
BEAT PENN STATE

The Georgetown University basket ball
team formally opened its season last
night at Convention Hail. when the Penn
State team was taken into camp by a
score of 40 to &c.
1t was Georgetown all the way. From
the start Of the game the Blue and Gray
The contest was witnessed by about 800
spectators, who not only applauded the
work of the local team, but on a number
of occasions gave the visitors the glad
hand. The local team showed by its work
that it has lost none of it's prowess of
last season. Their team work was at
times nothing short of marvellous, and
their passing and covering up completely
baf1ed the boys from Pennsylvania, who
appeared to be stale and played almost
an individual game.
Schlosser, the new man on the George
town team, carried off the honors, when
he scored seven goals for his team, al
though the work of Fred Rice in drub-
bling was the best that has been seen here
for some time. In fact, the entire Blue
and Gray team did good work. For the
Penn State toam Hurley carried off top
honors He scored eight goals.

HOLDING MIRROR UP TO NATURE

Forum: Doubtless no one would
dissent from Hamlet's dictum that
the purpose OF playing is "to hold, ;"
MS t were, the mirror up to nature;"
but this statement is so exceedingly
simple that it is rather difficult to
understand. What special kind Of
mirror did that wise dramatic critic
have i'll mind when he coined this
memorable phrase? Surely he could
not have intended the sort Of flat and
clear reflector by The aid of which we
comb our hair; for a mirror such as
this would represent life with such
sedulons exactitude that we should
gain no advantage from looking at
the reflection rather than at the life
itself which was reflected. If / wish
to see the tobacco jar upon my writ
ing table, l look at the tobacco Jar: l
do not set a mirror up behind it and
look into the mirror. But suppose |
had a magic mirror which would re-
lect that jar III such a way as to show
me not only it's outside but also the
| amount of tobacco shut within it. In
this latter case, glance at the re-
presented image would spare me a
! more laborious examination of the
| actual object.
How Hamlet must have had in mind
| some magic mirror such as this, which
| by it's manner Of rejecting life, would
| render life more intelligibIe. Goethe
| once remarked that the sole excuse
| for the existence of works of art is
| that they are different from the work S
| of nature. If the theatre showed us
only what we see in life itself, there
would be no sense at all in going to
the theatre. Assuredly it must show
us more than that; and it is an inter
esting paradox that in order to show
us more it has to show us less. The
magic mirror must refuse to reflect
the irrelvant and non essential, and
must thereby concentrate attention OF
| the pertinent and essential phases OF
! nature. That mirror is the best that
reflects the least which does not mat
ter, and, as a consequence, reflects
most clearly that which does

SCHOOLS NO LONGER NEEDED.

The report of the commissioner of
Indian affairs, +. E. Leupp, to the
house Of representatives, naming the
non-reservation Indian schools which
in his judgment, are no longer of value
to the Indian service, was submitted
to the house Monday. AS a result of
the attempt at the last session of con
gress to have the Carlisle Indian
school abolished, the commissioner of
Indian affairs was directed to investi-
gate upon what terms it may be pos
sible to dispose of any of the non
reservation Indian schools which he
deemed unnecessary to the general
scheme for Indian education.
The commissioner states the result
of his investigation regarding the
transfer to the several state govern
ments of the Grand Junction and Fort
Lewis schools, Colorado; the school
at Genoa, Neb.: at Chilocco, Okla. (:
at Chamberlain, S. D., at Morris,
Mimi, and at Carson, Nevada. These
are the schools which he has deter
mined are not necessary for the In
dian service and which are available
to the state authorities for education
al purposes, or for reformatories, in
sane asy iuns. hospitals. or atthhaari: pub i;ahb

VALUE OF THE RIVER
Rate Saving on The River Would Have
Equalled the Wheat Crop.

viii A. Campbell of Omaha, who
has been employed by the Missouri
River Navigation congress to look up
data and statistics in regard to trans
portation conditions, wants and possi-
blities on the upper Missouri, gave a
very interesting address before busi-
ness mems meeting here.
He gave facts which prove that an
enormous expense for the government
to undertake in the improvement of
the Missouri Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, would prove the most econom-
ic step ever taken in the history Of the
middle west.
There are now in existence several
organizations which have for their
purpose the furtherance Of plans
whereby the needs of the vast popu-
latlon affected may be effectively
brought before the attention of con
gress, the one which has charge ia
this section being the Missouri River
Navigation congress, which held it's
first meeting at Sioux City last Janu-
airy.
This association has branches at
various points in Iowa, Nebraska, the
Dakotas and Montana, the Ft. Pierre
branch having about thirty members
among our business men.
Taking as an example that portion
of the Missouri which flows between
Jefferson City, No., and st. Louis,
and which was originally one of the
worst pieces of river along the course.
Mr., Campbell called attention to the
TACT that, with an expense of S42 900
a mile, 12-foot channel has been OBJ
talned which cleans itself of sand and
silt and which has not changed it's
course IL eight years, and that in les s
time than has been required to demon
strate the practicability of the plan in
MISSOURI, the wheat crop alone in
South Dakota would pay, in difference
III transportation charges to eastern
or western markets, the entire cost.
figured at S200,OoO,OO0 of like i'm
provement of the Big Muddy it's en-
tire length through this state, the
channel to be six feet deep at low
water.
| Mr.. Campbell found Montana far
mers feeding wheat of the best qua l.
| ity to their pigs and chickens when
wheat was 81 a bushel in Chicago
Because they are from 100 to l2O miles
from 4 railroad, it would cost them
IS cents I; hundred to put it on the
cars, and it would cost another 45
cents to land it in Duluth after it was
turned over to the beneticent railroad
company. Attention was called to
the fact that the Dakotas and Mon
tana have the longest haul to mark ct
OF any states in the Union producing
bread stutfs and other daily neces si-
ties, and that the real remedy for
existing conditions is to be found in
the barge and steamboat, and the
deepened, permanent channel which
would make them possible.

BOARD OF PARDONS LENIENT.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The president s last annual message
to congress was delivered to that body
Tuesday, The ''big stick seems en-
tirely absent from the message. In
many respects it is a reiteration of
the presidents views on public ques-
tions. He takes advanced position
however on the proposition to amend
the Sherman antitrust law and urges
congress to pass such an amendment.
He also urges governmental control
of all Interstate corporations. He
fayors the passage OF such laws as
shall give suitable protection to the
great army of American wage earners
and renews his recommendation for
All eight hour governmental employees
act. He favors the postal saving
bank and a parcels post, urges the
immediate annexation of Arizona and
New Mexico as states and approves
the recommendation of the general
board for the increase of the navy.
The message also urges that con-
gress take steps which shall look to-
words the improvement of our inland
waterways and give us not only navi-
gable but navigated rivers.
To those who expected that the m es-
sage would be an exceptional docu-
ment, urging congress to do unexpe ct
ed things, it will be a disappointment.
1t lacks both the energy and the fire
of the presidents previous messages.
