INTEREST IN LIVE TOPICS.

Is a matter for regret that wilmingtonians
u do net take more interest in hearing public
speakers of national and even international rspu-
tation who visit this city.
Some time ago Mr.. Clinton Rogers Woodruff a
man who has devoted many years to the study OF
municipal government came to Wilmington and
spoke under the auspices OF the Civic Association.
A handful OF people assembled to hear him and
yet the High School auditorium should have been
filed.
On Thursday evening Mr. John Spsrgo Social
isl Of note and a writer of fame, spoke TO another
handful OF persons at Turn Hall, his meeting being
under the auspices Of the Socialist party of this
city.
We might mention other noted speakers who
have been greeted by very small audiences in this
city. There surely must be more interest among
the people in these topics than manifested by
the attendance at the meetings. We have organ
izstions OF men and women, clubs of various kinds
which are supposed to be for the purpose OF con-
sidering live questions of the day and for the I'M
provement of the members. They hold meetings
frequently. Yet when noted orators visit the city,
experts on many of the questions of the day, the
attendance at their meetings is very SLIM
What must such visitors think of the intellec-
tual life of city which cares not to hear persons
whose names are familiar with those who keep in
formed of the worlds progress? Mr.. Woodruff
should command a large audience in any city and
Mr.. Spargo is of the same class. Both are expo
nents of movements which they believe TO be for
the betterment of the world.
Mr.. Spargo is a very adrot speaker and puts
the Socialist belief in the best possible light He
removes misconceptions that have existed in the
minds of many who are too careless or indifferent
to be informed about Socialism Ii is a fact that
the Socialist movement is growing throughout the
world and those who are not informed of it will
have to be some day Mr. Spargos address was
entirely free from the harangue style that marks
the oratorv of many Socialist probagandsts and
il could be listened TO by any audience under any
circumstances with pleasure. He is an exponent
of the higher type of Socialism and handles what

THE IDEAL CITY.

IT HE subject Of new city charter is being con-
= sidered in Springfield Mass, one of the pro-
gressive municipalities of New England, and the
people there are getting opinions of persons sup
posed 70 know what is best for a city
The other Sunday an address was delivered in
the opera house of Springfield by Dr. Sudekum,
member of the German Reichstag. His subject
was the ideal city" He declares that the prob
lem is TO make city which shall be both beautiful
and practical, and he pointed out that beautiful
city need not be more expensive than an ugly one.
The first essentials of beautiful city, accord
ing to Dr. Sudekum, lie in good arrangement of
streets and open spaces at strategic points. This
should be kept in mind and not the massine of
buildings as compactly as possible as was for
merly done.
In this Dr. Sudekum is undoubtedly correct In
some towns in Delaware of small population the
buildings are as compactly massed as if there we're
lack OF space and the builders had in mind
a compacty arranged city of many thousands.
This idea of massed buildings may seem economi-
cal to the real estate owner, but it may prove
unsatisfactory to the community in general There
cannot be too many open spaces
Or. Sudekum puts considerable stress on the
mode OF government and the civic pride and spirit
which pervadc community all OF which is nee
cssary IN an ideal city Or. Sudekum, being Ger
man. and hasng his experience on the German
IDEAS, faNors municipal ownership Of public utili-
ties and greater freedom for the city in managing
its affairs, but we are not ready for these things
which the learned German thinks desirable Some
day we may be.
Partisan administration OF municipalities is the
chief drawback that prevents American cities from
reaching this ideal, and until we shall divorce par
tisanship from control of municipalities and con,
duct our municipal affairs according to the stand

A GOOD MOVE.

HE municipal program of the Civic Assoeis-
\ ton as announced is certainly conservative
and no reasonable fault can be found with it.
The idea is to have the Legislature pass law
providing for the appointment of charter COM
mission which shall examine the question OF city
government and frame new charter which shall be
submitted by referendum vote 10 the people for
their ratification or rejection.
II the people approve the charter, il shall be
submitted to the Legislature and every effort made
10 pass it.
The program seems to us to be entirely pract-
cal and happy solution of the problem of how the
city shall proceed to secure new charter. Ger
tainly there will be ample time for thorough dis

GAINESVILLE. Tenn, Feb, o
1t isn't a usual thing to put the
preacher of gospel upon the sport
page, but when one of them is as
red-blooded as DR.. r. E. Fulton,
bible Instructor at Southwestern
Presbyterian university, he de-
serves the honor.
DR.. Fulton says what lie thinks.
and he thinks football is o. X. He
is for it because ii makes men. He
advocates it as part of college life
and says it's a mans game and de-
velops youth as no other sport can.
DR.. Fulton believes most of the
accidents in football are due to
righteousness. He attributes dirty
work to improper coaching by men
morally unfit to teach. who instruct
players to break bones if necessary

leges hire coaches who abolish I'M
derhand work and instruct men to
play "on the level" accidents will
be. reduced to the minimum.
DR.. Fulton was asked by a CORE
spondent of this paper to give his
views upon football. Here is what
he says:
Football is not brutal Abuse
has created prejudice, but the good
points of football are so numerous
II should be played in every Amer

ATEUR BILLIARDS

NEW YORK, Feb, 1.-Assurance
that amateur billiards is to receive
its full measure of attention was
made evident recently by the APP
pointment of committee to make
plans for the Glass A national
championship and the inter-club
championship tournaments. The
championship tournament appears
to lie between the Chicago Ath-
letic association and either the
Hanover club or the Crescent Ath-
letic club of Brooklyn. The make
up of the committee gave the first
inkling of this, when President Rob
ert C. Kammerer, New York Ath-
letic club, announced that it would
be composed of J. Ferdinand Pog-
genburg, Liederkranz club, chair
man; Norris ID. Brown, Hamilton
club, Brooklyn; DR.. A. b. Miller,

ing. In time, public opinion either
bars him or forces him to play on
the square
wherefore ! say football devel-
ops sell-contrOl and restraint under
the most alluring temptations. The
game demands rigid training.
Drinking and carousing (which are
apt to creep into the unchecked
life of the collegian, are beyond
reach of the gridironer. He is
taught by the training for battle
that success comes only after long
preparation and sacrifice.
when colleges engage coaches
who demand that their men play
on the level, and punish them for
dirty work and then will football
enjoy an unprecedented popularity
and accidents will be reduced to
the minimum
DR.. Fulton is not for radical rule
changes, but for a strict enforce
ment He favors three changes,
however.
He wants rule making it illegal
to tackle above the hips, holding
that low tackling permits the
tackled man to roll and also eX-
poses the tackler to less danger.
He wants to limit the number of
men in mass plays, and would di-
vide the game into quarters.
DR.. Fulton refers to the fact made
apparent by Fielding II. Yost. that
majority of the accidents are to
boys improperly trained and unfit
to play.
DR.. Fulton, by the way, is vet
eran of the striped field, playing
end for Southwestern about ten
years ago. And he was one of the
best that ever represented the
school, of which he is now mem
Der of the faculty. He has fol
lowed the game closely since his
school days, and is eminently fit to
criticise.

Red Hughes is the acknowledged

lads will be the biggest amateur
event that could be staged here
The boys have met before, the hon

cleverer of the two, but Mccoy has
the sleep-producing wallop.
Another fight which promises tC
