LAUGHS AT LETTER ON
BRUTALITY OF FOOTBALL

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 2S.-[Edi-
tor Herald: This mornings Letter
Box contains a communication signed
w. S. Burroughs, deploring the casual
ties of modern football.
He has noticed an account of the
probable fatal injury of another young
man at playing football" and "cannot
see the sense of making this game so
brutal"
| noticed a news item recently to the
effect that nineteen deaths and injuries
mounting into the hundreds had been
reported from baseball this past season.
Can football show any such record as
that? Still, no one writes to the papers
dcploring the brutality of modern base
ball.
Mr.. Burroughs cites an instance of
(by the way, he refers to football
players as college dudes" and com
mon cubs" later on) losing their lives
in a train wreck, while on their way
to football game. He then goes on
to say, Notwithstanding l had pre-
viously disapproved of the American
football game, L took a stronger stand
against it than ever after that fateful
(sic) day."
1t would be just as logical for me TO
say that several years ago the Iro-
quois theater in Chicago burned down
and hundreds of people lost their lives.
Notwithstanding l had previously dis
approved OF theater-going I took a
stronger stand against it than ever af-
ter that fateful day,
Some years ago boat loaded with
Sunday school scholars on a picnic

were drowned. Notwithstanding 1 had
previously disapproved of the American
Sunday school, I took stronger stand

IN DEFENSE OF DE LARA

OXNARD, Oct. 26.-[Editor Herald:
It is gratifying to see how the citizens
OF Los Angeles have supported the case
of De Lara. Such public demonstra-
tions in behalf of freedom and justice
are very significant factor. Also that
resolutions are being sent to Washing
ton.
Is it not true Cor mere gainsay) that
Diaz has made land and other con-
cessions to the United States govern
ment? And that bribery and corrup-
ton are rampant?
Honorable mention is due to The

ing the cause of emancipation and

The Child as an Asset.

There is undoubtedly very grave
problem connected with the birth rate.
The church in past times furnished
religious motive for large families, and
this tended to counteract the natural
tendency of the birth rate to decline
from economic causes as the period of
infancy came to be prolonged in an
advancing civilization. says a writer
In the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
If the religious motive be destroyed,
the economic forces making for fewer
children must enjoy freer scope, and
as the cost Of living rises and the
financial burden of rearing and edu-
eating children through a long series
of years becomes heavier for the aver
age parent to bear the scare over race
suicide Is likely to be the more pro-
nounced. Making the child, however,
once more pecuniary asset of the
parents at tender age would be sui
cidal to civilization itself.

KEEP LANGUAGE AND CUSTOMS
Dutch Impress Clearly Visible Among
Inhabitants Of Old Villages
Up tho Hudson.

Dutch language and customs still
prevail to a surprising extent in the
old villages up the Hudson, according
to Peter G. Barker of Buffalo, N. Y.
"The modern housekeeper from tho
city" said Mr.. Barker, "who takes a
picturesque dwelling, built about 1890.
for summer home, is confronted by
some bewildering conditions. First
among these are words Of one pronun-
citation in Dutch and English, but Of
totally different meaning. For in
stance, her help obtained from the
village will probably glance about the
kitchen after finishing her mornings
work, and chant In q sing-song that
might be pointed of thus: I amt
done no work-what meant to do
this mawnin'-yet. An'-I'll JUS file
up the kitchen floor. To the mistress
surprise the 'flle' proves to be mop.
file being old Dutch for any bit Of
cloth used for cleaning, from q wash
cloth to floor cloth.
Another evidence Of descent is the
use made Of water. The old houses
were invariably located where advan.
tage might be taken Of q running
stream, no matter how small. At .
point near the kitchen door this was
damned, water wheel inserted, and
power obtained for the churn or turn
spit. To-day this power equals mo.
tor for running an ice-cream freezer.

TERMS USED IN WALL STREET
Up.to.Dats Meaning o. Investment,
Margin Trading, Gambling and
Sure Thing.

II a man buys $4,000 worth Of
bonds, pays the money for them, locks
them up in his safe-deposit box and
waits for the interest, that is making
an investment, says Lippincott's Mag
azine.
If he orders $4,000 worth Of bonds
bought for his account, puts up $1,000
as collateral and then sits around for
the bonds to 60 up, that Is trading on
margin.
If he meets pretty girl, falls in
love with her, finds out that she has
$1,000,000 in her own right, gets wit
nesses to prove that she has a fine
disposition and is good housekeep-
er; In short, gathers all the evidence
beforehand that she will make an
ideal wife, why, that is gambling.
If he enters politics from disinter-
ested motives, sees rotten condition,
makes up his mind to reform it.,
makes no compromises with anybody,
stands on his merit, fights an honest
fight, wins, puts his reform through
and then sits around and waits to see
It become a permanent one-that's
speculation.
If he marries a poor girl and she
dies and leaves him with four chill:
dren, and he marries another poor
girl and she dies and leaves him with
four children, and he marries another
poor girl and she dies and leaves him
! with four children, and then the chill
dren grow up and he calls them to-
gether in his old age and says:
Don't worry, boys and girls! When
was young was cute enough to
save up some cash SO that I could
take care Of myself all right without
calling on you. Now, I don't need
any of you. SO you can all run right
along and be good"-that's q sure
thing.
