FOOTBALL REFORM
NOT NEEDED
G. r. BORG, OLD NEBRASKA STAR
PLAYER, SAYS THE PRESENT
RULES ARE GOOD ENOUGH
GAME DEVELOPS PLAYERS.

c. T. Born, now an attorney at
Pateros, but formerly star player
and later coach of the University OF
Nebraska team, is in Wenatchee this
week and in an interview on the foot
ball question stated it as his opinion
that the present football rules do not
and can not be reformed so as to re-
tain interest in the game.
Concerning the danger Of mass
plays Mr. Borg said: The greatest
danger is not in the mass play, but
rather in the open formation"
Asked if he would favor doing
away with football altogether he
said: We'll, l should say not. If l
was going through school and had to
cut out some things, it would not be
football, that's a cinch. | regard the
game as a developer of both physical
and mantal capacities. The present
game is a developer of the grit that
ought to exist in every man"
Asked concerning the percentage
of men hurt during his football ex-
perience Mr.. Borg said: Il played
an average of ten games a year, four
years as a player and one year as a
coach. in which all told over one
thousand players took part. In all
that time but one man was perman-
emily hurt.
Many Injuries Are Stalls.
Many of the so-called injuries are
not injuries at all A very large per-
centage of the times when a man Is
laid out to be rubbed he is feigning
injury for the sake of getting his
breath
NO" said Borg, give us the
the same old-time football that we
have had for years. All efforts thus
far at reforming the game have not
been successful and will not be if
the identity of the game is to be con-
sidered."
Borg was known in his football
days as one of the best in the United
States. He left this morning with
Mrs Borg for their home in Pateros-

USE STRONG LANGUAGE.
Chicago Ministers Denounce Child
Labor From PulpitS.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-Child labor was the
theme of sermon in several Chicago
pulpits yesterday. In every instance it
was denounced as inhuman and crimi-
nal.
1.-The whole trend of child labor is
in the direction of the lowest moral
standards" said the Very Rev. Dean
Walter T. Sumner (EpiscopaD. some
day society must pay the bitter price
for the wrongs that it is infiicting upon
the helpless child.
eff we realize our responsibility there
will be no employment of children I'M
der 16 years of age. Our country does
not need child labor to bring it pros
perity.'
said:
ITO put labor on the children is a
high crime against God and man. He
who stands for the employment of chill
dren is a criminal, inhuman monster"
The Rev. Henry Forsythe (Congrega-
tionalist) said:
Physical incapacity, mental blight,
moral ruin endanger millions of our
children The sentimental shudder will
not solve the problem. An intelligent
scrutiny of the causes will help reveal
the economic, civic and industrial in
sanity of this modern slaughter of in
nOcentS.''

A MEXICAN KILLING.
Unsuccessful Wichita Sutton Shoots
Rival and Escapes.

Wichita, kan. Jan. 25:-Determined
that his successful rival to the hand
of Dolora Alamora should not marry
her, John Vanchez last night shot and
almost instantly killed Frank Pierce:
Vanchez, after watching the crowd
collect, coolly walked away from the
scene, and has not yet been found:
Vanchez is foreman of Cudahy's
packing plant here, and Pierce was an
employe. Jess Vanchez, a brother OF
the man who did the shooting, 1t is
charged, threw bricks, knocking Pier
rec down. Then it was that he was
shot, one of the bullets passing
through the abdomen.
The trouble started a week ago,
when Vanchez and another Mexican,
named Joe Mantez, quarreled over the
hand of the girl.
Last Friday, it is charged, Vanchez
went to the girl, commanding her to
marry him, and she refused. He sew
cred a large mass of hair from her
head. Last night the men renewed the
argument.
The killing was done on fremont
street, now chiefly inhabited by Mexi-
cans and negroes.

mind OVER BODY. /"
Chicago Pastor Advocates Mental
Healing Should Be Taught.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-''The gospel of the
body should be taught in the church as
well as the gospel of the SOUL
Firm in this belief-the outcome of
numerous alleged successful cases of
mental healing-Dr. Sheldon Leavitt
today took charge as teacher of THE
League of Right Living organized by
Rev. Johnston Myers
The power of the mind over ills of
the body is a thing already deter
mined" DR.. Leavitt declared. by con-
fidence, by the sheer force of our wills,
we can overcome many Affections and
the culture of this strength is a fit sub
ject to be included in the duties of the
church.
And am positive that, as more and
more we prove the supremacy of a pre-
pared mind, the church universal will
assume the work.
What is commonly called mental
suggestion also necessarily Will be
taken up by the physician. The old
school doctor who came in with a
solemn face. glanced over his patient
with sorrowfu1 eyes and in fearful
voice announced that he feared the
worst, is rapidly disappearing. In his
place will come the new doctor. full OF
a psychic force that will inspire conf
dence in the patient"

THE LUST OF MONEY.
Deadened Church Members Conscience
Says Chicago Pastor.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-The old time Gus
tom of a Presbyterian visitation, with
a modernized touch of Circuit riding, +"
was revived yesterday in the ninety
eight Presbyterian churches of Chicago.
In every Presbyterian pulpit the morn
ing sermon was delivered by the pastor
of another church.
1.-The strong drift away from personal
communion with God and from positive
religious convictions which is found IN
the world has also entered the church"
said a message from the central au-
thority. land has chilled the activities,
relaxed the vows, and beaded the con-
sciences of many church members
The lust of money. the passion for
pleasures, the craving for worldly dis
tinction have laid hold of US whose
citizenship is in heaven. The con-
sequence is that interest in the de-
votional life has slackened. attendance
at stated services has fallen off, and
the ordinary tasks of Christian service
have become irksome. The church is
not dead or dying. but is In need OF
awakening"
AS an effect of the order pastors of
wealthy churches found themselves
sent to congregations in poor or out
lying districts, while young pastors
were found in aristocratic pulpits.

cONVICTS STILL THERE.
oklahoma Has Taken No Steps to Re-
move Leavenworth Convicts.

Leavenworth, kan, Jan. 25.-Okla-
hona omcials have done nothing to-
wards removing their convicts from
the Kansas penitentiary since the de-
parture of the investigating commit
tees two weeks ago and the time limit
Is only seven days away. The contract
with Kansas to keep Oklahoma con-
Vlets expires January 81, and if they
are not taken away individual convicts
will demand their release and habeas
corpus suits may follow.
The Kansas penitentiary board of
directors notified the Oklahoma prison
board two weeks ago that the contract
would not be renewed and the convicts
must be taken away. No Oklahoma
convicts have been taken away since
and instead a few more have been
brought here.
The Kansas prison officials will do
everything possible to prevent the
Oklahoma convicts from being turned
loose here. They would flock to Kan
sas City, Leavenworth, Lawrence and
Topeka and many of them would soon
be in trouble again.

BARRIERS Up in Arms Against Abolition

want to abolish the practice on that &C

The rank and file, however, would
rather take chances on its self-respect

P A. Holzer, international organizer
of the union, favors the abolition of the
tip. It adds greatly, he says, to the
number of self-shavers. He does not
believe in home industry in that direc-
ton The agitation is to be kept up
he declares, until BARRIERS are given
wages sufficient to support themselves

The mahogany chairs from the haunted Baranof castle of Sitka will be used to furnish the office of Mrs. F. Hart, who has charge of the women's exhibit from Alaska at the exposition says the Seattle P. l. A legend of the Indians at Sitka has it that the ''Blue Lady" ghost had planned to haunt the castle for 100 years. They also say the 'Blue Lady" was frequently seen sitting in the mahogany chairs weeping. As the castle which stood nearly century was burned down the only things remaining for the "Blue Lady" to haunt are these chairs, and there is a little uneasiness in the A Alaska suild- ing. The legend of the ''Blue Lady" is told by John w. Arctander of Min neapolis. Alexander Andrevich Bar anof was the director of the Russian American company, which laid the foundation of New Archangel as Sitka was formerly known about 1901
 Baranof was described as a forceful, far sighted man but brutal and unscrup-
  ulous. When his beautiful neice fell Tn love with a young Russian naval officer, Baranof behaved cruelty. He sent the young officer upon q mission in which he lost his life, and the young girl in the Baranof castle promptly pined away and died. The Indians solemnly toll of having seen the ''Blue Lady" Hitting about the castle wringing her hands and wailing mournfully. According to the legend the ''Blue Lady's'' period of haunting would be up in 1912 cen-

Thomas l.. Hisgen the candidate for president of the Independence league last fall who boiled s, 1s3 votes, is out with a statement announcing in effect, that he will, in future associate himself actively with the democratic party, and incidentally he comments to some extent on his ideas in regard to the lines future campaigns will take. He believes that the hope of democracy lies along the line of radi- calism and that the radicals should organize aggressively to control the party. To his mind the success of the republican party in the last two elec- tions has been ascribable 10 what he holds 10 be the radical tendencies of President Roosevelt. Had a conser- vatiye candidate been nominated by the republican party in lyDi is would
 have gone to defeat in 1908. It went with record of achievement and con- fidence that carried William Howard Taft to victory" In MT. Hisgen's view the predatory interests" as he terms them are gradually tightening their grip on the republican organi- zation, and are thus paving the way for successful campaign by radical democrat. Mir. Hisgen dosen't say as much nut possibly there would be no great amount of trouble to persuade him to be the radical democrat who should make the try. Meanwhile it is interesting to observe that the drift for the time in the democratic party appears to be onservative-Goyer- nor Johnson of Minnesota. This isn't
