dence this falI, for il is hard TO con-
ceive OF making much ground with
the play when the bali can only be
passed forward back OF the line Of
scrimmage. Instead OF the long throw
which has characterized the play since
its adoption, most of the coaches will
use short or hand to hand passes.
Plays viii be evolved of the split in
reference variety. and in this sort Of
attack the forward pass win be used
to the best advantage
The restriction placed upon the pass
and the reduction of the distance to
be gained in three attempts are
changes which will gladden. the hearts
Of the old time football warriors, for
the alterations will make the game
more like the one which was played
before the rules were changed so rad
ically in the winter Of 1906. Prac-
tically the only difference which will
be noticeable at once will be the lack
of aid to player carrying the ball. At
its meetings in New York In March the
rules committee passed rule that
the runner is not to be pulled or push
ed in his attempts to gain ground.
With the exception of the heavy, con-
centrated attacks on the spot, the
game will be more like the one played
six years ago.
In reducing the distance to be gain
ed the committee made a rule which
will encourage the old style attack Of
drives on and off the tackles and the
use OF end runs. This change will al.

Some Questions for Deserter

you and Lame-duck Duckworth? How much
Of your Filthy has that corrupt scamp fin
gered; and how much more is he to get, in the
event he helps you to another chance to be-
tray the farmers to the manufacturers?
~ Have you explained to the dear farm
ers how faithfully you served their interests
by voting with the Lumber Trust, which has
so materially advanced the cost of lumber?
In the neat lying circular that you put forth,
be sure not to overlook the point.
(3) On the Champ Clarke proposition to
break the coke of old Joe Cannon, you voted
with the Democrats: on the same day, few
hours later, y0W v0ted against the Democrats,
and with the Republicans, to uphold the rule
Of Cannon.
WHAT HAPPENED TO you, BE-
TWEEN THOSE TWO VOTES? How
were you approached; who did it; and

Eugene DebS, the WheeI-HorSe of
american Socialism

American Socialism
When Eugene Debs was in his prime, he
was Populist. Then he tried to be Big
Man, and headed the strikers against the
proft-bloated Pullman Palace Car Company.
Failing to measure up to the occasion, Eat-
gene shoa0ed the a0hite feather, was glad to be
sent to Jail, and to thus escape responsibility
for the miserable failure of labor-revoit
which stronger man would have led to
success. after that, Eugene rotted, and be-
came a Socialist.
At present. he's a member of one of the
most putrid combinations on earth. I allude
to the Girard, Kansas, outfit and specifically
to Wayland, Warren and Debs In short
WHILE [ may lay before you some evidence of
the inner doings of this bunch
For the present, [ ask you to consider an
other letter which the distressed humbugs
have written:
J. A. Wanamaker Crossett Ark
Dear Sir:-Watson is merely deliberately lying
for the purpose Of getting talked about. The APP
peal has frequently replied to his charges, though
without mentioning him. Two weeks ago it con-
tanned an article on whether we believed in Be-
bells teachings. Last week it had signed article
by Debs on Socialism and Religion. Every charge
he makes has been answered and over, be-
sides Debs has challenged him to debate, in
the South and once in the North, and he funked.
that is insincere like he is does not de-
serve advertising that is worth $1.25 line.
Very truly yours
APPEAL TO REASON.
Girard, Kansas, April %, 1910
Still harping on the great value of space
IN their paper, you see.
Editors who prefer the S1.25 per- line, TO
TRUTH AND HONOR, are nice people to
lead suffering humanity to loftier SUBMITS,
aren't they?
It is hardly necessary for me to say that
Debs has never challenged me; but that he
has been dared for months, to come into the
JEFFERsoNIAN MAGAZINE and discuss his
nasty European creed
He is rushing about, from one Northern
city to another, deceiving discontinued but
illiterate laboring men, for the purpose of
running up the subscription list of the Ap-
peal. Debs allows Fred Warren "a crook
to offer him, as D4enoaatno, to get subscribers.
That is, Debs will make a speech wherever
the appeal is guaranteed a certain number
Of subs. Just as the JEFFs offer book or a
knife as a premium, Fred Warren offers q
speech By De6s!
A nice mess they have there at Girard,
Kansas; and I am preparing to get line on
it. If | live and nothing happens, it may be
possible for me to give U. Samuel valuable
aid in crushing that nest of vipers.
In the meanwhile, I defy Warren, Way

ger, Hilquitt Brisbane and j. G. Phelps
