AMERICAN FOOTBALL
IN GREAT DANGER
College Professors May Elimi-
nate Game on Account of
ROughness.
WAITING FOR RULES
COMMITTEE TO MEET
Friends of Game viii Make a
Hard Fight to Preserve
Popular Sport.

Information has leaked out from col
lego graduates. who claim TO be on the
inside that the twelve big colleges in
the east have played their last foot
ball games. 1t is said that the pro-
fessors of the colleges and universities
have already held several conferences
regarding tho favorito American win.
ter sport and all have decided that the
gamc is too rough for the schools. No
definite decision will be taken in the
matter until after the football rules
committee meets TO see inst what
changes the committee intends TO make
the game milder. After the rules, with
the changes, have been announced. the
professors of the colleges Will meet and
consider the new rules, and if il is
decided that no radical changes have
been made to do away with the whole
sale injuries in the present style of
play. Immediate action viii be taken
to eliminate football from the college
calendar OF sports.
Secret Leaks Out.
Every effort has been made TO keep
the opposition against football behind
closed doors, but the secret is being
passed from one friend 10 another, un
til now the entire country is talking
about the probable elimination Of the
popular winter sport.
The record of thirty-three deaths in
less than two months play cannot be
passed over lightly by the college pro
fessors. The heads of all the institu
tions have received numerous letters
from parents insisting that their sons
be not allowed to play any more.
II is estimated that over 300 cases
of deaths. injuries and unreported in.
Juries viii not cover the list of football
casualties of the present season, and in
the face of such alarming figures ii is
the intention of doing away with Amer
lean football.
Two years ago changes were made
which brought about more open play
ing, and it was then predicted that the
death list would be eliminated from
the game, but instead, the past season
broke all records for killed in the game.
4 hard fight viii be put up to keep
the sport alive, but it is doubtful
whether the college professors will listen
to the supporters of the game, unless
it IS entirely changed from the present
style of play. Others argue that if tho
changes are to be so radical it is better
to adopt the English rugby, in which
game accidents seem TO be few.
Football enthusiasts will make big
fight to keep the game in the col.
Ieges.

SMOOT THE RIDICULOUS.

Standing forth as champion in mat

advantages, as Apostle Smoot has

no other man in the country does at
this time. He was put forward by
Aldrich TO take the bTuut of the opposi
tion fire, and so greedy of punishment
was he that he buttcd in on every occa-
sion. and even making occasions to butt
in, that he came TO be known as tho
Senatorial goat, Naturally, this ridicu
object of dcrision. We CO.." on this

his absence of real knowledge appears

MAKES A MOCK OF MARRIAGE

Eastern newspapers bring accounts
OF shocking case of indecency in the
marriage relation. 1T seems that cou-
pie IN Orange, New Jersey, have come
to the end Of a trial or limited mar
riage contract. Some ten years ago they
arc rcputcd TO have entered into we'd
lock, each signing an agreement that
either might repudiate the marriage at
the end of ten years, if he or she felt
so disposed. But at nppcnrs that neither
wishes to termnae the relation, and so
they were married over again, this lime,
apparently, without limit or reserva-
ton.
il must he that they have very queer
marriage laws in New Jersey, when
such travesty on the. marriage reia-
tion can be enacted. If that couple
are not already married, they have
been living in adulterous relations these
ten years, and should have been in jail
long ago. But the very point Of the
story is that thew were married What
shocking mockery it is, then, for
them to be married again. and what can
the persons be thinking of who lend
their presence to such farce9
Any married people attending such
mock ceremony dishonor their own mar
ricd relations; while any unmarried peo-
pie attending, Will necessarily be given
light idea of the marriage relation
that viii warp their minds and destroy
for thcm all proper foundation upon
which married ties should rest, 1t
would seem impossible that such
wrctched piece of business as this could
really be carried through in civilized
country; but the news accounts arc so
specific as to seem all too real. But
all sensational performances such as
this are reversjons to a state of bar
barism which our enlightenment WAS

FREIGHT RATE ADJUSTMENTS

when the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the Spokane
rate case was announced, The Tribune
declared that it was also decisive Of
rates here, IN principle. And so we
have steadfastly held that what we
nave TO do in order TO receive the ad-
vantage of the Spokane ruling is to
ask, and we shall certainly receive.
Ut seems from recent railroad news,
that the railroads are themselves taking
the same view; and they arc reported
as busy revising their schedules on
treIghts to all this interior region, to
conform to the Spokane ruling, on the
tlon charges must not be greater from
the East TO Spokane than to Seattle,
they must not be greater TO Salt Lake
than TO San Francisco.
OF course, the coast cities fight this
cqualizing principle. They have the ad-
vantage OF the lower rates than the
interior cities get, and want to hold ut,
But under the ruling of the Comms-
sion, they can not do this; and so both
they and the railroads must cease the
determinations that have been so rn.
Justly enforced.
But, though the principle is fairly
and broadly stated in the ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, Spo-
kane holds that the principle is not
carried out in the Commission s sched-
ulcs: and so is pushing for supple
mental hearing, at which it is hoped
there will be made by the Commission
II trucr application of the general prln-
ciplc to details.
1t is all favorable TO this city, and
the outlook is as bright rs could be de-
sired for the success Of the CONNER
cial Club Traffic Bureau in its deter
mined effort for relief TO this and other
cities in Utah, from excessive
and unfair freight rates. In nothing
will effort be abated until complete
success is achieved. The apparent
complaisance of the railroads Will be
welcomed as a gracious bowling to the
incvitabe; but the bow will have to
be accompanied by full-hand conces'
sions. in order 30 have It's pollteness
thoroughly appreciated.

IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS.

The new Immigration Commissioner at
Ellis Island port of New York, is Mr..
William Williams. He thinks too many
immigrants Of low grade are coming IN
10 this country. and that to make 1T
worse, insist upon settling in the CON
gested portions of our cities. He CLAIMS
that there has been too much laxlty IN
receiving undesirable aliens, and in pur-
suance of his more rigorous policy he
deportcd scventy-Rve men, women, and
children on tho steamships that sailed
for Europe on Friday last.
Mr.. Williams is pronounced by Har-
pers Weekly to be the right man for
commissioner. He held the Office before
for nearly three years, from April, 1902
lie was appointed by President Roose-
welt to "clean things up" at Ellis
Island, and soon showed that he was
the man for the job. He did not care
for the position, but accepted it at the
call of public duty. But he quit i'll Feb
ruary, 1905, and the President wrote
him a letter of congratulation on what
ne hdu uOHc. j nc WplN WAS nov COM
pleted however, and there was much
speculation as TO why he resigned. But
the New York Sun states the reason.
thus:
The Hon. William Williams once be
fore flied the office To which he has now
been rcappointcd. with a single view TO
the efficiency Of the immigration laws and
y proper protection of the immigrants
llnTiQE
period II was not denied that his record
was written In work we'll done. His fail
urc was this: Finding there as a sub
ordinate the Hon. Joseph Murray. "the
man who discovered Roosevelt" he failed
TO recognize that In this signal triumph
the Hon. Joseph Murray had fulfilled and
completed tho whole mission OF one man
on earth Hence the Hon William VIII
iams departed from public office pur-
sued by a Presidential letter of gratI-
tude. Preterrne manhood To Murray. he
paid the penalty. From Washington
there now comes the tcrsc addcndum to
the Williams appointment, Murray will
not be retained
An iIluminativc example of the
"square deal And ITarpcr's Weekly
completes It's oulogy of Mr.. Williams
as follows:
Mr., WllIiams's contention was. as VIC
understood at the time. that the man who
WIS uollS inc Work oil assistant CoUIUllS-
sioncr. and doing H. well. ought TO be ap-
pointed TO that office and receive its sal
airy. Failing to have him so appointed.
MIR. Williams resigned, and Mr. Roosevelt
let him 30 and appointed Mr.. Watchorn
in his place. Nobody who wants 10 fleece
the immigrants or beat the immigration
laws will be pleased at Mr.. Williams's re-
appointment. He is Il practicing lawyer
I'm New York. and the Washington dis
patch which says that he most reluctant
ly yielded" to the wish OF President Taft
that he take charge again at Ellis Island
says the undoubtcd truth. He didn't neei
the job in the least. but the job needed
that he has taken It.
From all of which it appears that
MIR. Williams is pretty big man, and
it is clear that he will be frst-class
Commissioner Of immigration.
