Rev David Ferguson has taken
charge of the new Summit hotel in
Creston, having bought an interest in
the property. Rev. David Ferguson IS
pastor of St. Pauls Episcopal church
With his wife he assumed charge on
Oct L. There is a theory abroad that
the preacher is an Impractical sort OF
fellow. Sometimes he is. But in
very many cases he is found to be
very good organizer, a very successful
business man. 1t is these qualities
which enable many ministers to build
big churches and to build up great
congregations. Occasionally g church
grows and f1ourishes only because the
minister is an inspired orator, but, as
rule, where a church progresses. 1t
progresses for the same reason that
make for progress in other organiza-
tions-because the man at the head is a
hustler and is on the job all the time.
And there is no reason why man
who can run church should not be
able to run a hotel and to run it quite
successfully at that.

The state Of Iowa ought to be asham-

prison inmates wholly for itself and re-
fuses to share it's profits with those
who have greatest claim to 1t. When
the great state of Iowa locks up Thorn
as Kirby and sets him to work for Its
own and Thomas Kirbys benefit, solely,
it is snatching clothing from the bod

WHAT OF THE EIGHT CHILDREN!
IDes MoineS Tribunel.


Thomas Kirby. living in the south
western Iowa town Of Oakland, got dis
couraged trying to keep himself. his
wife and eight children in food and
clothes on a meager wage Of $50 a
day. not counting the days there was
no work
1t is not hard to find excuse for that.
But in an hour Of desperation this
Thomas Kirby planned a robbery to get
some easy money. for his hungry fam
lily. as he explained it, and armed with
a big gun he tried to hold up a bank
cashier.
1t is hard to find an excuse for that,
so the chances are that this man, who
seems to be an unfortunate sort, will
be convicted in Jig time and hurried
off to prison for ten years at least, pos
sibly longer. Most of US will agree that
this is right and just, and Thomas
Kirby himself in an interview with a
reporter didn't seem to have any COM
plant to make about this probable out
come.
So society is satisfied that Thomas
Kirby should be locked up for ten
years or moro, and Thomas Kirby Is in
a sense satisfied. But what about the
wife and eight children? Will they be
satisfied? For ten years or more
Thomas Kirby himself will be comfort
ably housed and clothed and fed, but
what about the wife and eight little
boys and girls? Will they also be COM
fortably housed and clothed and well
fed?
Thomas Kirby Is going to be hard at
work for the next ten years or more
probably harder at ,uork than he ever
was before. The great state Of Iowa
will be satisfied with that because it
will pocket the proceeds Of his labor,
and Thomas Kirby will be in a sense
satisfied, because he will be housed and
fed and clothed. But what about the
wife and eight youngsters who are de-
prived of husbands and fathers fight
for them? Will they be satisfied? Will
the problem Of an existence be solved
for them? Will this, arrangement put
a shelter over their heads in time of
storm and cold; win it put clothes on
their bodies to cover their nakedness;

ANOTHER SCALP.
SkOwhegan Defeats Bingham by a
Score OF Z to 6.

The Skowhegan speed Boys" went
there downed the Binghamites in a
game OF baseball to the tune of to
l6. Ii was close game and great ex-
element prevailed throughout the
whole nine innings. The game was
featured by the fine catching and
throwing to second base of Turcotte
and the willow work of SPEEDY
Goulette. who got two two-baggers
and a single out of five times at bat.
Dore pitched a good game but costly
errors by SkoVhegan resulted in
a number OF Bingham's runs.
Moore of Bingham, also done some
excellent stick work, getting 3 hits.
On account of the tall grass in the
outfield it was almost impossible to
find the ball and many errors re-
suited, but this was Offset by the
heavy hitting of both teams. The
game was conspicuous by the ab-
sence of kicking on either side and
the umpiring of Hunter and Moore
gave entire satisfaction to all.
Skowhegan is considered one of the
best amateur teams in this part of the
State and up TO the present time
have won 10 out of II games played
this season. They will go to Oakland
next Saturday and will try to bring
Oakland's scalp home under their

Foot Ball Game is
Ethically Wrong,
Says Pres, Wheeler
Head Of University of California Says
Soccer Game Should Supplant
Real Foot Ball.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.--Sinee foot ball
as played by eastern varsity teams has
been discarded for rugby in the California
institutions the westerners have been try
ing to spread the alien game to other parts
OF the country The cries OF abolish FOOT
bali" have risen louder in rugby sections
than anywhere ease. President BENJAMIN
Ide wheeler OF the University Of California
says that the introduction Of rugby foot
bali into American schools IS q moral is
sue. He is quoted ON the subject as fol-
lows;
THE superiority OF the rugby game for
high schools and colleges is so apparent
SO certainly established that the issue now
presented as between this and the old in
tercoIlegiate game has taken the form Of q
moral question and a moral issue The
old intercollegiate game deserves to be
driven out OF ali American institutions. NO
one who is we'll versed in the two games
can say anything else. The perpetfaton
OF the old game can only be regarded as
officially wrong All the oft-repeated arti-
fetal efforts to remodel It have proved In
effective. The great and in fact the only
remedy Is the Introduction Of the rugby
game. 1t can readily be seen that The
public appreciates all these points con-
tinued DR.. wheeler. ~rhis ie shown IN
the increased attendance. The crowd which
watched California and Stanford play was
the greatest in the history OF California

MOtOrcyclists Gain
in Popular Favor
Increase in Number Of Professionals
Among Riders Of the Speedy
Machines.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3--According to reports
It is expected that motorcycle racing win
be very popular next year. There has been
a big increase in professionalism In this
line Of sport but this Is desired by the
s. Willis Of the Federation OF American
Motoreyclists, who says;
1T win not be long, IN my opinion, be-
fore there win be a great number Of pro-
fessional riders In the Federation Of Amer
lean Motorcycllsts ranks. A great many
people all over the country. particularly the
best people. who are interested In athletics
and members Of the Amateur Athletic
union, have q great horror Of profession
allsm IN sport. l. myself, have no use for
the professional athlete. But the motor
cycle game is q different proposition. The
initial cost Of the machine and Its up-keep
for racing purposes win make q big hole
every year IN q 500. The initial cost to the
athlete Of his maenine Is nothing-becausa
his machine Is his own body And fur
ther tho up-keep Is very little in addition
to what his regular board bill would be.
Therefore. the poorest man can become an
expert athlete without expenditure OF
money or waste Of time. and there Is no
reason why he should take money FOR
what he does
Motorcycle racing is g business and a
profession Ia itself, ana I can't see why
man should be held IA disregard for
making his living IN this way any more
than he should be held In disregard for
making a living BY preparing motorcycles
or manufacturing them"

Henry Enthusiastic
Over French Races
American Jockey, Rich with Track
and Market Winnings, Returns

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--Milton Henry the
American Jockey, who has been riding on
the French turf during the last seven
years for Barons Edward and Augustus
Rothschiid and M. Ge Bramand, returned
to his native land this week. Henry de-
scribed France as the greatest racing
country in the world" He spoke enthusl-
asticaIly Of the polite craftsmanship Of
the members OF the French Jockey club
and the patrons Of racing In that country
He also says France Is an ideal racing
center.
Henry, who has accumulated fortune
In stocks on the Paris Bourse through his
racing connection with the Rothsohiids,
contemplates starting q big racing stable
IN France. He expects 70 form q partner
ship with Nash Turner, formerly an Amer
lean jockey, who has developed into a
trainer and owner, and who is due to re-
turn 70 this city next week.
The pair will visit Kentucky and Ten

Bellevue Disputes
Hastings Claim
to Championship
Players from Presbyterian School
Quote Figures to Show that Title
Belongs to Dosne.

Bellevue has closed a very successful
foot ball season. Out OF eight games
played with colleges, six were won. A
total OF ll2 points was rolled up in these
games by the Bellevue men. while the sum
of the opponents scores is g. While Il
was hard to lose the championship by the
narrow margin Of two points, the defeat
by Doane was an honorable one, and there
is no question in the minds OF those con-
versant with the true state Of affairs that
the championship goes to Doape and not
to Hastings, whose claim is not worthy Of
recognition.
BY comparative scores. and by the only
reasonable way in which the matter can
be figured out, Hastings stands third in
the league. Bellevue a close second, and
Doane first. Hastings was unable to score
on Peru. which team Bellevue beat badly.
The challenge issued by Hastings to Doane
means nothing as there is not a tie. Off
Gals and players who have played in and
officiated games for both Hastings and
Doane this year are unanimous in giving
Doane credit Tor a fiercer attack and a
stronger defense Should the challenge Of
Hastings be accepted, there would be little
doubt as to the outcome Of the game,
Much Of Bellevue's success this year Is
directly due to the efficient coaching OF
Mccoy. His work IN all lines was Of a
high order; he had at all times the respect
and admiration Of his men for his thor
ough knowledge OF the game and his ability
to teach Il as 1t should be taught Al
though It Is too early for anything de-
finite 20 be known. it Is certainty that
re-engagemsnt OF Mccoy for next fall
would please the Bellevue foot ball fans,

NEW YORK. Dec S--Although the NOV

have been displayed in various parts OF
