HART RESIGNS
Brilliant Gridiron Player Not to Lead Princeton
 Eleven.

It was reported yesterday on very good authority that Eddie Hart has resigned the captaincy of the l9lO Princeton Varsity football eleven. and that only after receiving this reslgna- tion did the Athletic Advisory commit tee decide to make w W. Roper grad uate director of athletics. Up to that moment Ropers candidacy had been aSsuredly successful because Hart had made it very plain to the powers that he did not want Roper as head coacn or the team to whose captaincy he had been elected.
 As to who will be Hart's successor there is very considerable doubt. Sparks ran him "a fairly close race last year, when the selection was made, and It is possible that the leadsr's s man tie will now fall on the halfback shoulders
 Three officials prominent during the football season just ended and for many preceding ones said yesterday that, had any gridirou opponent Of Princeton last fall objected to Hart s presence on the field. they would have sustained the protest and ordered him off They would have done this they said, because of the nature of the head gear which he wore. Other than on that ground there was none in the rules on which to base an order of removal.
 This headgear. it can be definitely stated, weighs over twenty pounds, and consists in part of heavy steel braces to protect Hart's injured neck. Un- der the rules such headgear-or, in- deed, metal armor of any kind any, where on the person-is forbidden These officials, two Of whom at least win doubtless be seen during 1910 on the gridiron said if Hart made any effort to play them that they would not permit it. But it seems likely that they will never. under the cir cumstances yesterday reported from Princeton, be compelled to take such a radical and -regrettable, even if neces- sary. step.

The campaign is to eliminate in

all the churches will determine a
national missionary policy.
The Grand Junction meeting
will open with big mems supper

A Fever Of Prodigaliiy

The word economy and the idea
expressed by it had long been OBJ
scured in American life when Mr..
Taft soberly asked attention TO
them. An ear OF extravaganza
at Washington had carried the
contagion of waste into the states,
the municipalities and the homes
of the people. No check appeared
even in years of panic and de
preston until the pinch of rising
prices made men everywhere agree
that the cost of living was too
high.
Where else than in the cost of
living should we look for the final
results of such a prolonged fever
of imitation and prodigality? The
Roosevelt administration saw the
expenses of the federal govern
ment mount to a billion dollars a
year-nearly one-halt for war
purposes. Yet Speaker Cannon
recently said that il the numerous
faddists who descended upon
Washington at that time had had
their way the expenditures would
have reached two thousand mil.
lions a year. A reckless govern.

Long Hat Pin Discussed by City Council

tions:

faces of other people a public

wear them for self protectionf"
Alderman Herman J. Bauler in
troduced an order requiring the
corporation counsel to draw up
an ordinance restricting the length
of hat pins worn in public places.
I'VE have an ordinance prohib-
iting the wearing of large hats in
theatres declared Alderman
BAUER. II am going to teach the
women of Chicago that they must
stop wearing hat pins a foot and
half long"
Grave silence hovered over a
delegation of women in the gal
leres. Then a voice piped out:
Doesn't your wife wear long
hat pins?"
No. you bet she doesn't. She
wouldn't do such thing" shouted
Alderman Bauler. "Ohl You
women of Chicago; don't you ever
consider when you get into 4
crowded street car with your long
hat pins that you are endangering
the faces of all of US menl"
The women, however. had pre-
pared an answer. for as soon as
the alderman sat down the city
clerk read a letter which was
spread on the council minutes.
The letter was signed by May. E.
Davis and read:
