WHY REPUBLICANS ARE NOT
STRONG IN THE EAST.

Mr. Wilson, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, says that whether the national
House goes r.saocratic depends upon
the East. This Is his explanation:
In the West they have had their fights
in the primaries, but they have put
down one Republican and put I'D another.
You people in the East think they are
pretty wild in Kansas. but they have
finished their fights in the primaries and
they are going to return a straight Re-
publican delegation 20 Congress. Con
ditions in Minnesota and Iowa are also
very satisfactory.
The trouble III the East is that the
Republicans have been slow to recog
nize the power of the insurgcnt move
ment. Where the people have to
choose between standpat Republicans
and Democrats, they show an inclina-
ton to chose the Democrats-as they
did in Maine, for exampIe-because
they reason that the Democrats
would in way take the place of in
surgent Republicans.
The Democrats, in other words. are
in a position to profit by Republican
stubbOrnness. But where. as was gan.
orally the case in the West, progressive
Republicans presented their candidacy
to the people in the primaries, the
people chose them and will probably
vote for them in preference to Demo
Gratis.
Even in the East many Republican
candidates who were formerly cropping
in the dark have seen a great light and
have declared their determination to
heed the voice OF the people. Hence
the assurance that Cannonism is to be
swept out of doors. Hence the fur
Their assurance that tariff reform. not
withstanding what the benefciaries Of
old tariff methods may say or do, is to
be carried out under a commission that
will give due consideration to popular
needs.
The lesson of the Maine election will
have good effect upon the elections
to be. held tomorrow.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES PUT
TO THE TEST.

In Washington on Saturday after
noon the new football rules were put
to the most rigid sort of test. In the
contest between the Carlisle Indians
and the University OF Virginia one
team outweighed the other nearly
twenty-five pounds to the man, and the
game was played on a muddy field,
Such conditions would be almost GER
tain to result III serious injuries to
the weaker team unless the methods
of play were such that the possibility
of injury had been reduced to the
minimum.
1t will be gratifying to the general
public to learn that no serious accident
occurred.
The casualty record for football this
year has been particularly good, indi-
eating that the new rules have accom-
pHshed much that was hoped foI in
their adoption. The season is more
than half over and but two deaths for
which football was directly responsible
have been reported. This should en-
courage the many friends and support
ers of the game TO hope that the sport
may be preserved, with its many bene-
fetal elements retained and its few
injurious features eliminated.

VIEWPOINTS SLIGHT TOUCH
OF THE SIMPLE LIFE.

The suffragettes having departed
from Newport, the old watering place
seems to have been left to the mercy
of some persons addicted TO spinach
and pedestrianism
1t is a little outbreak of the simple
life, reaction, no doubt, from the
strenuous summer days when drives
and dances and dinners come pelI-mell
one after the other, sometimes barely
giving the folks on Bellevue avenue
more than an hour or two to get into
evening dress or lounge around at the
Casino.
Summer in Newport Is one long
lingering stretch of ices and cigarettes,
interrupted by the visit of the North
Atlantic squadron to see how well the

worthy objects of charity and should
be passed on. Many of them are
