For the benefit of a few who may not
understand the onside kick this eNpla-
nation may be necessary. In the olden
days a ball that was kicked could not

gotten his hands on 1t. For instance, II
the ball hit the ground and started roll

for team to advance the bail on kicks

They could tackle the man in his tracks,
but they could not get possession of the

Under the onside kick rule the min

either side can grab it. The kick gets
its name from the fact that the strik-

the Tigers played Fordham. The Ford,
ham back was compelled to kick and
the punt went sailing to Princeton s
thirty-yard line. The kick was high,

fast. PrinCetons fullback missed the
ball and 1t struck the ground. Mccall

they could stop him he had carried 1t
within five yards of Princeton's goal.
That is where the onside kick helps the
weaker teams. Under the old rule Nc
Gallery would have had to wait until
the Princeton man touched the ball.
The forward pass also helps the weak
er teams. In the same game Fordham
worked a double forward pass and got
1t away beautifully for long gains. Beef
can stop a plunge through the line, but
it takes agility and quick thinking TO
stop the forward pass or to locate
where IL is going to land. The lighter
teams are just as good thinkers as the
big fellows.
As soon as the old fear that the light
er teams have at the mere names OF
Harvard, Princeton and Yale begins TO
wear away, the Big Five as terror
of the gridiron will have passed away.

e. II. Hartman has made his con
tributlon to the Taft campaign fund,
according 10 report. The railroads,
through their majority owners, are
supposed to be throwing such inhu'
ence as they have to the Republican
candidate. The trusts are for Taft.
The Interests" are for Taft. The pos
SCISSORS Of privileges" are for Taft.
The last one OF those smltten by the
militant author Of my policies In
that famous message sent to congress
last January has turned the other
cheek and fawned on the man chosen
by Roosevelt as the nominee OF the
Republican party. DO the strange
bedfellowships OF politics hold any

That was given out about the time
when the fear that Roosevelt would
himself be renominated had caused
the planning and partial execution OF
the hurt business campaign. The
proud wearers Of the epithets in the
presidential TRADE were seeking to
capitalize commercial misfortune, and
they persisted until the emphasis OF
repeated denials brought final assur'
ance that Roosevelt was not and
would not be candidate. But the
horror and fear OF Roosevelt has not
been passed along to Taft. He is

ROOSEVELT ExTRAVAGANcE.
Appropriation Of Present Administra
ton Greater than In Civil War.

Official figures compiled by the
clerks of the house and senate COM
mittees on appropriations show that ex.
expenditures aggregating $l,00S,397,-
54356 were authorized at the last SEES
sion of congress. These are the heavi-
est appropriations ever made in time
OF peace.
When the country was astonished at
the spectacle Of q billion dollar con-
gress, Speaker Reed could offer no
excuse except a plea that this had be-
come n billion dollar country. But
under the Roosevelt regime we have
attained the two billion dollar con-
gress. which appropriates a thousand
millions at each annual session. The
appropriation during the last four
years of Rooseveltism have mounted
up to $3,42S, 100000, or 1913, 300. 900
more than during four years of civil
war.
In recent statement to the World.
Representative James A. Tawney, Re
publican chairman Of the house CON-
mittee on appropriations, asserted that
almost 65 per cent OF the govern
ment's revenues, exclusive OF postal
receipts, is today being spent to meet
the cost Of wars past and anticipated. -
In an article prepared for the ami.
yersary number OF the World, Senator
Allison, the venerable Republican
chairman Of the senate committee on
appropriations, showed that since 1889
there had come an annual increase oil
s51.000.000 in expenditures for the
army, an annual increase OF sS4 600,
900 for the navy and an annual in
crease of $30,000,000 for pensions
These three items alone represent q
total Of 1881 100000 in the appropria
lions authorized at the recent session
of congress.
This Is an annual tax of more than
| $3.50 on every man, woman and child
In the United States for army, navy
and pensions alone. 1t represents al
average OF S22.5O for each family, oil
