MILLINERY ABSURDTTY.

Some antiquarian lawmakers il
Washington, who would like to restor,
the divine right of kings and union O.
church and State, are raising trouble
because some judges decline to wea,
the gowns that have been provided
for them. The attempt to shrou6
Judges, born in a day when men
groveled before them, and they usually
did the kings bidding, is silly enough,
But South Carolina goes the millinery
fixings a step further, SO it seems, and
requires lawyers who appear before
the courts to wear the regulation black
suit. Referring to the wearing of
gowns by judges, the Columbia State
says:
This discussion reminds us how

WILL 1T HELP

For a long time many tobacco farm
ers have urged the passage of a law
that would permit them to sell to-
bacco in the hand withou paying any
tax on it. The Senate has given them
tha right, coupled with a condition
that when the sale exceeds ten pounds
a record shall be kept for the benefit
of the internal revenue service. Under
the present law the farmer may sell
his tobacco. but it does not allow his
vender to transfer it without paying
a tax of six cents a pound. Senator
Bradley told the Senate that this pro-
hibition was the cause of much of the
disturbance in Kentucky that culmin-
ated in the Night Rider trouble.
The restriction imposed may defeat
the purpose Of the bill. The Tobacco
will not help the farmers; many farm
ers think it will. Only by practical
operation can that be determined. Re-
moving all restrictions and tax on to-
bacco might be the best legislative
help to tobacco farmers, but at the
present rate of governmental expense
nobody in Congress proposed abolish
ing all taxes on tobacco. AS long as
the tobacco trust has the power to fix
the price of the farmers tobacco, can
anything really help the farmers?
<~-| II
Judge Lands and the Federal au-I
thorities ould not collect that big
fine from the Standard Oil Company,
but the States seem to be able to do
something along that line. Texas has
collected a very considerable penalty,
and Mississippi is after the big
monopoly for some $11, 600, 600. 1.-The
States, on certain lines at least, seem
to be more powerful than the Federal
government, even after years of de-
hberate efforts to rob the States of
their original authority says h
State. But Texas is the only
State that has gone after them without
gloves. Most States pass pink tea
laws and then let them rest in in
nocuous desuetude.

TIGERS ARE PLEASED.
Princeton Eleven Did Best Work of
Year Saturday.

PRINCETON, \. j., October 2o.-Ihe
Princeton coaches and players are in no
way dishearened by the result OF the
Lafayette game last Saturday. The Tigers
outplayed their opponents go decidedly in
defense and in, offense when in the MO
die of the field and played so much bet
ter foot ball than they heretofore have
that the score is the only thing which
displea ses anybody.
Whereas the undergraduates have here
tofore criticised the team for poor play
ing, their comment today is that their
representatives had mighty hard luck. II
any fault is to be found It is with the
linemen for not solving Lafayette's de-
fensive style sooner and with the backs
for occasionally getting ahead of the
play. Bergen showed poor judgment at
times, but otherwise he played prettily.
and it looks as If Princeton's quarterback
problem was nearly solved.
Balm, at end also did everything that
his predecessors at the position this year
have not done. and he and WEIGH proved
to be a strong combination. Lafayette
deserves all sorts Of credit for it's plucky
playing but II Princeton had twice gained
a foot or more on forward down, il
Cunningham's first try at goal had not
hit the goal post and If Bamman had
made his second pass a little better the
Tigers would have had victory, OF, at
least. the tie they deserved.
The players all came out Of the game in
good condition and the coaches expect
to work them hard this week, devoting
especial attention to making the attack
more smooth.

MIDDIES ARE CHAGRINED.
Referees Decision Probably Kept
Them From Getting Draw.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. October o5.-The
Midshipmen are chagrlned over the loss
of Saturdays game against the Univer-
sity Of Virginia through an error of Ref
cree Gresham Poe. which the official has
since frankly admitted.
After Staunton had run the ball to the
Navy 2-yard line, the Midshipmen held
for three downs. but Referee Poe gave
first down to the visitors because the
Midshipmen asked for time to be taken
out for the fourth time.
This, the referee held, was foul UNI
der section of rule 10, and punishable
by the giving of a first down to the ether
side AS matter Ct fact, the matter Is
covered by section 3 of rule 16. which eX-
preSSly lays down that the penalty is the
loss of two yards. the downs and posses
sion of the ball remaining the same. 1t
is also claimed that Staunton. who made
the long run for Virginia which made the
score possible, should clearly have been
disqualified shortly before for making an
attack upon Dalton.
After the game Mir. Poe stated, without
reservation. that he had been in error IN
his decision. Had the ruling been the cor
rect one the Midshipmen would have been
given the ball and would have had q
chance to punt less than two minutes
before time was called. and the game
would almost surely have been draw.

DUFFY'S SALARY IS $7,OUO.
Parent, Isbell, Tannehin and Hahn
Nav Be Released.

CHICAGO, October 2S.-Inside informa-
ton Of the deal by which Hugh Duffy
was obtained by President Comiskey to
manage the White Sox next year leaked
out late yesterday afternoon. 1t was
learned that his salary will be 1900. that
he is under a one-year contract and that
he stipulated that he was to have full
charge and control Of the team on the
field and is to be held accountable only
for results.
The old Sox players slated to go are
Parent. Isbell. Tannehill and Hahn, and
probably Sullivan.
The announcement that Duny will lead
the Sox was made by the new manager
himself at Mount Clemens. Mich, and to-
day President Comiskey confirmed 1t by
declaring that he had offered the Provi-
dence man the position. He qualified 1t
with a laugh, however. saying that he
had not vet received Duffy's statements,
but according to the Sox chief his accep-
lance will be a mere formality.
II appointed Duffy because he is light
ing manager, and ] want and need a
fighting manager, Coniskey said. Il
mean by that, a man who is full OF the
fighting spirit game to the core and who
will instill his own fighting spirit into his
men.
I'VE lost the pennant this year and the
CITY series chiefly because my team
wasn't fighting as hard as 1t should nave
Duffy is the man.
I'm going to land that pennant in 1910.
I'm going to have new park. new
manager and nearly a new team. Duny
knows how to play my kind of base ball. y
