4 PRIVILEGE WORTH STRIVING
FOR.

There is pure JOY and that sweet
contenment that makes life worth
while in the truest sense in living in
a quiet, neighborly and helpful
neighborhood, and every man and
family can enjoy this privilege if he
or they desire. up where we live"
should be an expression of great
value to every one. Possibly your
little neigh borhood-taking in pos
sibly a dozen families living in a
radius of two or three blocks-is not
known to the great outside world
and If it was they likely would not
take the trouble to look you up. But
among this little colony of neigh
bors can be established almost a
paradise on earth, and the close
friendships formed here are the well
springs of happiness in life. After
all it is what our nearest neighbors
think about us that matters most.
When we go home in the evening, it
is pleasant to know that we can call
a CHEEKY good evening to our neigh
Dor across the fence or across the
street, or stand at the gate at the
drawing down of the evening shad-
oWs and discuss the political situa-
ton with our brothers, or exchange
views about our chicken pens, or
discuss the flower beds, or the gar
dens. And then stroll around the
yards and gardens pointing out our
accomplishments. And then it is un-
adulterated happiness to sit quietly
on the gallery in the evening and
know that we are at peace with our
neighbors and have friends at our
very door. And when we are sick,
what a relief it is to know that our
neighbors are in sympathy with us,
and ready to aid when they can, 1t
is privilege TO live in a good neigh
borhood and be a good neighbor. 1t
is a privilege worth striving for, and
one should consider long time be-
fore making up his mind to be a dis
turbing element among his neigh
bors. One should consider a long
time before deciding on breaking the
friendly relations of neighbor to
neighbor, because with this close re-
lation gone much of the best in life
is sacrificed. and we deprive our
selves of a great privilege and bene-

Says the Ennis News: Let us
hope that the time will never come
in this country when a citizen may
not criticise the conduct of a public
official. 1t is the common citizen to
whom an elective official is amena-
BILE. Citizens put him in Office to rem
der service for his employer and if
he fails or refuses to render honest
and capable service, the sai6 employ
ing element should have a right to
criticise, chastise and rebuke and to
finally terminate the employment at
least at the expiration of the existing
contract" That sounds good, Bro
Their Hardy, but it is against the ma
chine rule The common citizen is a
mere figurehead in the employment

TO CONSULT ON RULES.
England May Be Represented at
Lawn Tennis Meeting Here.

NEW YORK, December 1S.-The failure
of the English Lawn Tennis Association
to adopt the proposed foot fault rule at
the annual meeting last Monday is not
likely to be the end Of the question.
The opinion Of the English association,
as voiced privately from London. is that
the administration which they are seeking
for lawn tennis is misunderstood among
the American officials. Armed with the
proper credentials, 1t is now probable
that an ofIicial Of the English organization
will attend the annual meeting of the
American association, to be held in the
Waldorf Astoria during the first week of
February.
Final action upon the disputed service
or foot fault rule and the government of
| linesmen and umpires will be delayed I'M
! til after that meeting by the Britons.
There Is also the tangled conditions sur
rounding the eligibility of players and
rules for the Dwight F. Davis interna-
ttional cup to be Strengthened out 1t is
| the belief, from the experience of past
| competitions, that the rules as to the
unalterable for all time, without regard to
| the holding nation.
Since the complete upheaval in the
English association, two years ago, the
| officials have endeavored to give to the
| sport a most comprehensive administra-
ton. To the end of arriving at a standard
| of rules for the world, the English have
carried on a voluminous correspondence
| with this country during the last few
months They seek to place their CON
| tentions for better rules before the play
ers Of this country, and believe that a bet
| ter underst anding will be accorded their
representative.

LoWNEY TO LEAD.
Elected Captain Of Next Years Blue
and Gray Eleven.

Jack Lowney, the fast and gritty little
end of the Blue and Gray foot ball team.
was chosen last night to lead the hilltop
eleven next fall. The choice is popular
one among all the students of the univer-
sity, and they all are of the opinion that
with such an excellent man at the rudder
a great eleven will be developed.
Lowney is twenty-one years old. mem
Der of the first year class in the law school
and halls from Amesbury. Mass. He
started his foot ball career at Niagara
University, at which place he played two
seasons and having been captain during
his second year.
This fall he cinched his position on the
local eleven during the first week he was
out and played throughout the season at
left end, where he put up strong and
brilliant game In the Virginia battle he
proved a tower of strength on stopping
the end circuits of the Orange and Blues
fast backs In the Thanksgiving contest
he also starred until kick on the head
compelled him to withdraw.
After his election the new captain said
to a reporter of The Star: II was very
much surprised to be honored as I was
tonight, and appreciate 1t very much. OF
course. as yet I have no plans for next
season. Manager Murray has been en-
deavoring to secure a coach ever since the
close Of the last game, and no doubt this
point will be settled soon. If possible,
Newman will be engaged. I can only add
that from the present outlook we shall be
a formidable bunch when the next pigskin
season opens.

Vanderbilt CUP
RACER DISQUALIFIED

NEW YORK, December 18.-W. Gould
Brokaw's 6O-horsepower Isotta-F raschini
car. which, driven by Herbert H. Lyle,
finished second in the Vanderbilt cup race
on Long Island October "a, has been dis
qualified by William X. Vanderbilt, jr.,
the donor of the trophy, who acted as ref
cree, on the ground that the machine was
over weight. The announcement was
made yesterday by Jefferson De Mont
Thompson, chairman of the Vanderbilt
cup commission.
The rules Of the contest made it neces-
sary for the cars entered to be weighed
before and after the contest. The weight
limit was 40 kilograms, or 2,644 pounds.
At the weighing in the car was put on
the scales with a rack used to carry
spare tires and q heavy mud guard sup
port taken Off. After the race, when the
machine was again put on the scales and
weighed by the technical committee, 1t
pounds over weight. Mr.. Vanderblt's at
tention was called to the fact, and he
ordered that the gasoline and water be
taken out Of the machine but the car
was still over weight.
The Isotta-Fraschini car was only two
minutes twelve and one-fifth seconds be-
hind the Locomobile car. which, driven
by George Robertson. won the contest.
These were the only two cars that had
finished when the race was stopped by
order Of the referee. This is the same
car in which Lyle won the Motor Park
sweepstakes on Long Island motor park
way in September. Lytle was to have
driven an Isotta car in the light car race
at Savannah the day before Thanksgiv-
