Favor the Running Start.

One of the objections to the new rules is
that In making the forward pass the man
throwing the ball must start it five yards
back of the line Of scrimmage. Western
foot ball authorities insist that 1t will en-
tirely change their style Of game. as they
have been teaching their players to run
as far as they could with the ball and
then shoot it.
They must not forget that when the
player with the ball threw 1t forward he
did 40 with far less protection for the
catch than is in evidence now. To offset
the better protection the throw was started
hah,nd the line. To be frank. the forward
pass. as II has been regulated by the rule
makers, seems to be little changed from a
punt, with consequent fair catch, except

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
" through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
zone lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day On
1t seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied &C.
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using 1t.
1--WE are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. l was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack Of proper nourishment- They
showed it. So l urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
f'They continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
any children in this city, and, OF
course, my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"

Books Wanted in Inquiry.

New York. Louis F. Goodsen,
former state senator from Orange
county, and H. S. Beardsley, secretary
and treasurer of the Street Railways
association of the state of New York,
both testified before the legislative
committee investigating the activities
of the Street Railways association at
Albany during the assembly sessions
Of 1908 and 1909, that they themselves
burned their individual books, private
accounts and vouchers, which were
wanted by the committee to show that
business relations existed between the
two men. Louis F. Bedell, former as
semblyman from Orange county, had
testified at a previous hearing of the
committee that his books and accounts
had been destroyed in hotel fire.
The cumulative effect of the testi-

Henceforth Insurgents and Regulars
VIII Look Alike to President Taft

viii Look Alike to President Taft.
Beverly, Mass. President Taft
has determined that all hostility
toward insurgency at the White House
shall cease and that hereafter the
"insurgent" leaders in congress and
elsewhere will be accorded the same
treatment as the regulars" espe-
cially in the matter of federal pat
ronage.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in letter from Secretary
Norton to a Republican leader Of
Iowa, whose name is not disclosed.
In the letter Secretary Norton
stated that while important Republic
an legislation pending in congress
was opposed by certain Republican
leaders, the president felt that his
duty required him to withhold federal
patronage from senators and repre-
sentatives who seemed to occupy a
position hostile to efforts to fulfill
the pledges Of the party platform.
That attitude on the part of the
president ended however, with the
more recent primary elections and
nominating conventions to which the
people have declared themselves, and
the president now looks upon PRO
gressives" and Regulars" alike as
Republicans and as such entitled to
his support and the support of the
party, and the fall elections, Secre-
tary Norton's letter says, must set
tie the question whether the differ
ences of the last session of congress
shall be perpetuated or forgotten.

BROWN WINS OUT IN
THE ILLINOIS PRIMARIES
Legislator Freed From Bribery
Charge Renomlnated BouteIl
Loses and Foss Has Close Call

Chicago triumphed in
the Illinois congressional primaries.
Henry Sherman Bouteu was de-
ctsively- beaten for denomination In
the Ninth district Of Chicago
Congressman Foss in the Tenth dis
trict pulled through by a hairs
breadth. Almost as many votes were
cast against him as for him.
Congressman Mann won renomina-
ton by comparatively slender plur-
atty, about as many votes being cast
against him also as for him.
Congressman Wilson in the Third
district, the only Illinois representa-
tive who has manifested progressive
convictions, captured his renomina-
ton by vote of three to one.
Col. Ira Copley, the aggressive Re
publican insurgent in the district now
represented by Congressman Snapp,
defeated George W. Conn, Jr., by a
plurality of 46S votes
In other districts outside Of Chicago
the progressive upheavai IN the Re
publican party left traces of far tray-
cling ground waves. Speaker Cannon
himself was renominated by a greatly
reduced plurality. In the Lowden dis
trict State Senator Mckenzie defeated
Reuben Tiffany by about 900 votes.
The defeat of Bouten was over
whelming. Frederick H Gansbergen,
the Lincoln Park commissioner, run
ming on a progressive platform, won
the nomination by a plurality of 986.
He polled 1854 votes as compared
with 1888 for Bouten and 1,134 for
West, the third candidate. Gansber-
gen received almost as many votes
as Boutell and West put together.
The hardest fight for the Democrats
came in the Fourth district, where
State Senator Rainey and Congress-
man McDermott ran a neck and neck
race. McDermott, however, won by a
comfortable plurality.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
men who voted for William Lorimer
for senator in the general assembly,
both Republican and Democratic,
gained a sweeping victory.
Even the men who were drawn into
the Jackpot" investigation have been
renominated by overwhelming MAORI
ties except in perhaps two instances.

outdistanced all his competitors in La

HELD FOR EiG THEFT.
George w. Fitzgerald Arrested in
Chicago for Alleged EmbezzIement.

OnICa9o TOT Alleged Empezziemeht-
Chicago. The federal grand
jury has again indicted George
W. Fitzgerald, who was formerly as
sorting teller at the United States sub
treasury in this city, on the charge of
embezzling $4,000 from the govern
ment.
Fitzgerald was arrested in his Office
at 159 La Sale street by the federal
authorities.
Upon being taken into Marshal
Hoy's office the prisoner protested
strenuousIy and when the marshals at
tempted to search his clothing he
fought fiercely. The marshals found
it necessary to handcuff him.
Despite the handouts, Fitzgerald
swung his arms about and fought
furiously whenever the marshals went
near him. Finally he was placed on
the floor. He continued to fight, how
ever, and knocked Deputy Marshal
Wainwright to the floor.
All the marshals found was As
cents in change, several checks and
some other papers.
Fitzgerald is said to have been
trapped by a story given out some
time ago that the statute of limitations
intervened and that whoever commit
ted the theft was immune from prose
cuion This story is declared to have
been circulated for the express pur-
pose of misleading Fitzgerald.
William Boldenweck, under whom
Fitzgerald served, sent his resigna-
ton as subtreasurer to President Taft
September 8. He is to leave office
September II and to be succeeded by
Len Small of Kankakee. He denied
that his resignation had anything to
do with the disappearance of the
$4,000.
Fitzgerald was under suspicion at
the time the $4,000 disappeared
from his custody, February 20, 1907
He was at that time handling large
amounts of government funds. Late
on the day of the shortage he was di-
rected to turn his cash over to another
man, and few minutes thereafter he
announced to the cashier of the sub
treasury that he was short $4,000.
A vigorous search was made for the
money and all the funds in the sub
treasury were counted by experts and
the books were checked up, but all to
no avail

incendiary origin in the prison yard
was thwarted by Warden Murphy.
Thirty-fve convicts, employed about

of the excitement within the prison

Smoker Full of Passengers Goes into
Oitch-Most Seriously Hurt

In Orders.

Holt, Mo. = H L. Howard, a
brakeman, was killed and nineteen
persons injured in a head-on COLI
sion between Burlington and Rock
Island passenger trains one mile
north Of here.
The accident occurred on a sharp
down grade near a bridge, the ap-
proach Of which was cut off by a
high embankment which prevented
the engineers from seeing the danger
until their trains were almost to-
gether. The engine crews saved
themselves by jumping, although all
were more or less badly injured.
The trains crashed together on a
high trestle over a small creek and
the compact was so great that the
Burlington train, much smaller than
the Rock Island, was driven off the
bridge and back probably 100 yards
before the smoker went into the ditch
with it's car full of passengers. The
baggage car and smoker were entire
ly demolished.
Not one person on the Rock Island
train was injured, though the engine
was badly damaged. All the seriously
Injured are Burlington employees,
either then at work, or returning
dead-head to their homes in Brook
field
There is to be joint investigation
between the two roads to find who
is to blame for the wreck. 1t is said
the original orders were for the Bur
lington local to meet the Rock Island
at Holt, but it is supposed that later
the orders were changed so as to give
the Burlington local right of way into
Lathrop. The Rock Island conductor
had the original orders to meet the
Burlington at Holt. The train was
30 minutes late and the engineer was
trying to make up time when the two
trains met

Standardization.

Religion should be native. It
should be concrete and applicable.
Religion is the natural expression Of
living, not a set of actions or of hab-
its, or posture of the mind added to
the daily life. The type of religion,
therefore, is conditioned on the kind
of living, and the kind of living is
conditioned, in its turn, very large
ly on the physical and economic eff
fectiveness of Hge. The religion of
the open country should run deep into
the indigenous affairs of the open
country.
