The fate of the game of foot ball as an
intercollegiate sport is probably tremb-
ling in the balance, unless the rules of
the game can be so modified as to prevent
the violent collision Of the players, in mass
formation or as individuals. When Lorin
F. Deland at Harvard about twenty years
ago devised the flying wedge, there was a
great cutlery against this particular forma-
ton, and since then from time to time
various intercollegiate committees have
perslstently tussled with the problems of
how many men should be allowed back of
the line, how far apart the opposing elevens
should stand when the ball is put in play,
what shall be considered fair and what is
to be reckoned unfair t~ackling-and all the
other questions incident to the Characters
tic feature of the game-the element of
violent personal contact, which is what
draws great crowds to see the game played.

Discussing the fatalities among AL
pine climbers, medical authorities
agree that most of them are caused by
the folly of persons of sedentary habits
in attempting to scale the peaks with
out first consulting a physician as to
their bodily fitness. The theory that
heart trouble is really to blame in
most cases attributed to misplaced
footing may serve to awaken tourists
to the fact that mountain climbing is
a serious undertaking, involving as
thoughtful preparation as any other
form of violent athletics.

WINDING TTs OWN BUSINESS.
Refuses SO DabbIe I'm the
Polar SquabbIe.
Washington Post.

" AAl " L OoAs
The state department, through Assist
ant Secretary Wilson, has done a very
nice piece of work in refusing to become
embroiled in the noisome north pole
squabble. A few scientists, wishing to
constitute themselves umpires of the Cook
Peary dispute, are understood to have APP
preached the department I'm an attempt
to enlist it's support i'm inducing the Univer-
sity Of Copenhagen to surrender its right
to eXamine tho Cook records, or at least
to permit the o~fficious American scientists
to be present at the examination. The
scientific log rollers were courteously in
formed that the department did not care
to be used as a convenience in their opera
lions. a..
The government has no possible interest
in the squabble between alleged pole finders
and their paTtissns. II might with propriety
direct the attention Of a few overEealous
scientists on IT'S pay roll TO their official
duties, as being paramount 20 their self
appointed task of umpiring the ~Cook-Peary
quarrel. Possibly the duties Of these func-
tionaries include the task of serving upon
pompous polar commissions, whose deci-
sions upon pemmican, open leads, blubber,
and blurred observations must be accepted
as final and binding upon the groyeling
and besotted proletariat. Possibly so; but
why should the entire government be
dragged in? II It is the duty Of these
scientists now on the government pay roll
to settle this controversy, why don't they
90 ahead and settle It? AnG IL ii is not
in the line Of their duty, WY are they
wasting the governments time in fooling
with it?
AS for the second request sent by these
bureau officials, to the University OF Co
~penhagen, they would be properly an
sv cred IL the Copenhagen authorities should
invite chem to retire TO a place warmer
than the pole. They were courteously
sEubbed once, What more do they want?
Must they insist upon beins kicked down
staids?
However. the whole matter is trifling
so long as responsible officers perceive
the propriety OF making the government
mind its own business.

One of the Obstacles to Greater De-

Boston Transcript.
In the fullness of time the people of this
country will probably become adjusted to
the manufacture and profitable use of free
denatured alcohol, though thus far their
progress toward that desired industrial goal
has been regrettably slow. The Mime
apolis Farm, Stock and Home, an agri-
cultural paper, challenges a statement
going the rounds of the press that farmers
no disposition to buy stills and that
the law is a failure. 1t declares that
farmers in that section have been not only
willing but eager to buy stills and for
three years have been lmportuninE manu-
facturers to SUPPLY their needs either for
farm or cooperative neighborhood pur-
poses. But one reason why cheap stills
have not been made has been a $40 tax,
under an old revenue law, on every still or
worm sold. This does not amount to much
on the large and high priced stills, but
interferes with the profitable manufac-
ture of those under 500. Prof. Snyder Of
the Minnesota school of Agriculture has
found that beets as an ordinary root
crop, grown at a cost OF So or Sc and yield
ing at a conservative estimate fifteen tons
to the acre, would make 300 gallons of al
cohol, which at 10 cents a gallon would
be a good return on the land. Soft corn,
damaged wheat, windfall apples and other
waste products of the farm would also
possess a value that is now lacking. I'm
no country can It be made cheaper than
in this one, and in no other country should
It be so extensively used" says the journal
from which we have quoted.

New York has just celebrated the ter
centenary of Henry Hudson's sailing up
the North river and the belated centenary
of Robert Fulton's steamins up the same
noble stream, writes Brander Matthews in
the Forum. And although the city did not
acknowledge the fact formally, 1t was also
celebrating the centenary of the first work
of Imagination written by a native Amer
lean and still surviving in the memory Of
the average reader. 1t was in 1909 that
Irving published Knickerbocker's History
of New York; and ten years later he put
forth the first numbers of the Sketch-Book
with its tales of Rip Van WinKle and the
Headless Horseman, which bestowed on
the shores of the Hudson, OH the Catskills
and on Sleepy Hollow a little or the legend
airy romance which had long colored the
banks of the Rhine. But in Knickerbocker's
History, Irving had builded better than he
knew. He had done a great service to his
native town-and also, II nay be, some
thing Of a disservice, in that ne poked fun
at the stalwart Dutch burghers who
founded New Amsterdam, thus interfered
with the Development Of a proper pride in
the historic origins Of the city. The service
he performed is indisputable; he created the
figure Of Dietrich Knickerbocker and he
lowered the city Of his birth with a tute-
larry embodiment, a civic personification,
Of a kind possessed by no other town the
Wild world over and standing forward
boldly beside the figures which typify the
great nations. Father Knickerbocker is as
real and as useful as Uncle Sam or John
Bull. London lacks a typical rgure Of this
vitality, and so does Paris, nor was a
similar type possessed by Rome or by
Athens even in the days Of their pride.

Receipts under Nebraska's new cor
poration tax aggregate over $4,000,
of which, in spite of the questioned
constitutionality. one-third was paid
without protest. The validity Of the
law imposing this tax is being tested
in the courts, and If the law is an
nulled those who have paid under pro-
test will ask the return of their money.
1t goes without saying that If this
money proves to have been illegally
collected it should be returned, protest
or no protest. On the other hand, if
the law holds good the state will be
able to count on an annual revenue of
upward of 100000 from this source.

One Of our sensational contempt
raries has conjured up a terrible ca
lamity lowering over the Omaha Grain
exchange because some of the business
men who have been serving on the d.
rectory have been asked to be relieved
and called upon the grain men to take
more responsibility in the manage
ment. The Bee has no special interest
in one ticket or another that is up for
the directory, but the suggestion that
the big grain men who have invested
their money in expensive terminal ele-
vators here want to destroy the Omaha
Grain exchange is too self-evidently
ridiculous. The Omaha grain market
is a success, and the men who make a
business of buying and selling have
everything at stake in keeping it a
success, and in building up the market.
They are not going to kill the hen that
lays the golden Esq.,, and the appeal
to business men who are members Of
the Grain exchange to protect the ex-
change against the grain men sounds
like a far cry.
