OUR EFFORTS NOTICED.

The action of local farmers in pro-
testing against the merchant marine
leagues scheme to raise ocean freight
rates has attracted wide attention,
The san Francisco Star recently had
the following upon the subject:
October 80 there was a significant
meeting of the wheat growers of Uma-
tila County, Oregon, at Pendleton.
The meeting was called to protest
against the action of the Merchant
Marine League of Seattle, Washing
ton, in seeking to compel all foreign
vessels bringing coal from the Atlantic
Coast for use of the United States
Navy. to return to their original port
il; ballast.
Congressman w. r. Ellis, a repub-
lican, spoke against the proposed ac-
tion of the Merchant Marine League
and promised the farmers that he
would do all in his power to cooper
ate with them in their fight against
the Marine Leagues proposition.
Other speeches were made by C. A.
Barrett, president of the Inland Grain
Growers Association, President ]. T..
Lieuallen of the county organization
OF the Farmers Educational and CO.
operative Union of America, and 9TH
ers. The following resolutions, which
the farmers viii be requested to sign.
were adopted: &.
Verify, those Oregon farmers are
more enlightened than some of our

under party labels. They are run
ming upon their own merits and by
these they should stand or fall
"one of the worst obstacles to good
municipal government is the practice
of making city spoils of politics, says
the Sacramento Bee, SO long as this
continues bosses will flourish, and men
viii be nominated and elected not to
serve the public but the bosses and the
powerful moneyed interests to which
the bosses cater.
In local elections the appeal to
partisan sentiment, and the pretense
that every party man should vote his
party ticket, instead of exercising his
Individual Judgment and choosing the
best men for office. ARE responsible
for a host of evils in our cities
This is very true Beware of the
man who talks partyism to you upon
election day. He will probably not
care a whit about his party's success
but he viii have an axe of another
sort to grind,

AS TO FOOTBALL.

Football is a great game despite the
criticism to which it is constantly sub
jected. Of course it is rough sport
and it would be well could the game be
made still more open. In the open
game weight and brute strength
count less and speed and headwork
more.
But just as it is football is a fine sport
1t is a game in which strength, speed,
grit, team work and spirit all count.
1t is not a game in which strength
and weight always triumph. Often
times light but gritty, spirited team
outplays a much heavier opponent.
Football is the finest of all school
games. Nothing serves to crystalize
school patriotism like a good football
team. On the gridiron the team bat
ties for the honor of its school and
slow indeed is he whose blood does
not run faster when his team is win
winning and freeze in his veins when
the fortunes of war are gainst him.
But the trouble with our schools is
that the courses do not provide for
enough preparatory training. In sour
high schools and colleges football
teams are often chosen from among
young men who have had little if any
physical training. 1t is still weak
ness with our schools that too little
attention is paid to the physical well
fare of pupils and students. All en-
ergy is centered upon training the
mind of the student. Little attention
is paid to the growing animal Stu
dents are practically left to follow
such sports and exercises as appeal tc
them. Naturally some mistakes are
made.
In the course of time our schools
and especially high schools will Offer
physical culture as a compulsory SUBJ
ject. Glasses in physical training will
be held and students taught many es.
sential things. They will be taught
how to develop along lines where they
are weak; the value of good air and
proper food; to avoid all things which
like alcohol and tobacco work against
physical vitality and in word-how
to live.
Football is a rugged game but it il
usually beneficial to those who play
This is especially true with respects tc
players who are in condition to play
and who know their strength i
would be well If all students took par
in football or else. in some sport de-
gree less strenuous. There would
then be less danger Of race degener'
acy.

Roosevelt's friends resent the inn
putation that the sugar frauds were
not properly investigated during his
administration. They assert that the
present revelations and prosecutions
are the result of Investigations started
under the preceding administration.
If the sugar swindles were not probed
during Roosevelt's term it may be
taken for granted that the gentleman
ir the white house did not know about
them
