the State desiring to know our purpose,
and finding it impossible to make re-

the judiciary should be separated from

counting the freest possible expression

Judge S. F. Wilson had previously
announced his purpose to continue his
candidacy before the August election,
and now he joins with Judges ]. c. Hig-
gins, F. P. Hall and u NJ. Taylor in a
united declaration.
This announcement is further en-
phatic remuneration Of the unwarranted
action of the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee, in offering to the party
a plan which has proved so repugnant
and against which such formidable ell
ement of the Democratic party is in
open and determined revolt. This dec
laratioE OF purpose on the part OF the
four gentlemen joining in the abFe adj
dress is being interpreted as final on
their part and as precluding any other
action by them even should the State
seek to amend the primary
plan.

Pleased With His Farm.

/ bought an 145-acre farm through
Forester & Forester, three miles west Of
Union City, at $40 an acre and am
well pleased with my bargain, and have
been offered a good profit on same.
This is the highest priced farm ever
sold in Obion County that far from I'M
ion City, but / wouldn't care TO take
1925 for it. To anyone in the market
to buy land / can highly recommend
Forester & Forester as the men to buy
farm and timbered land from, as they
know the value of land all over West
Tennessee. They tell me they haven't
sold place since they have been in
business but that the purchaser can get
a nice profit on same.

For Court of Civil Appeals.

The expected has happened. The
four Democratic candidates for the Court
Of Civil Appeals, who repudiated the
primary plan recently promulgated by
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, have announced that they will
be candidates before the August cleo
ton. That they would take such action
was predicted by the Banner several
days ago

Big Steel Rail Consumption
Planned for Year 1911.
Manufacturers Are Figuring on
at Least 100000 Tons.
MANY MILLIONS In USE
In United States Alone More
Than $4,000, 900 Tons.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.


Taking it for granted that the rail-
roads will economic in the matter OF
expenditures for new equipment next
year, steel manufacturers are confident
that rail consumption will run close to
5000, 600 tons in 1911 and Will exceed
that figure if the roads are able to OBJ
tain reasonable accommodations ITohl
banks and ither lenders of money.
There are in use in this country to-
day close to 45,000,000 tons of steel rails
This includes steam roads, traction
companies, subways, elevated lines.
etc. 1t is difficult to arrive at any
definite conclusion as to average life
of a steel rail, but the period OF dura-
ton ranges between ten and twenty
years. In sections of the country
where traffic on main lines is not heavy
the average life ranges from fifteen to
twenty years. Rails for side tracks
and unimportant branches are credited
with much longer lives.
Assuming that the average life Of
steel rail is even twenty years, renew
ais on 100000 tons now in use in this
country would alone amount to ap-
proximately $3.50, 900 tons a year
For 1909 the output of the rail mills
was 1902, $50 tons, compared with 1885,
Gil tons for 1908; 1892. 654 tons for 1907
and 1917. 1888 tons for 1906.
While no record breaking orders for
steel rails for 1911 delivery are expect
ed, it is believed that the railroads will
use an average tonnage, which would
mean consumption of 100000 tons,
which was the yearly average over the
last ten years.

December % Date Set for the
Dissection.
intercollegiate Athletic Asso'
citation Meets in New York.
ssBIG EIGHT"TO ADVISE
Suggestions for Change Include
Twenty Yard Zone.
Substitution of Players and
Quarters Considered.

Chicago, Nov. 3o-Another intersec-
tionaI debate over the football playing
rules will occupy the collegiate authori-
ties before the next meeting of the ma
tional committee. Word was received
yesterday at the University of Chicago
that the opinions of the big eight ex-
perss are wanted at the session of the
intercollegiate Athletic Association of
the United States, to be held December
20, in New York, and as a result the
conference professors are expected to
take a stand on the rules at their meet
ing here next Saturday.
While the big eight officials are
not likely to go into the details of the
rules. 1t is said. they will make known
their views as to the safety of the
game under the present rules. The
prediction is made at the University of
Chicago that the conference statement
will be favorable toward the present
rule book.
There is little doubt that several
minor changes in the rules will be
made at the next meeting of the rules
committee, but the freeness of the
sport from serious injuries this year
gives hope that the game will remain
much as it was this season. What
little changes will come will be Of
minor Importance and coaches are al
ready planning plays for next season
on the style of sport which was per-
mitted this year.
done by the committee will be to de-
wise some means of increasing the at
tacking strength of teams. Through
out this season it has been shown
clearly that with the means at their
disposal two teams which are evenly
matched cannot consistently gain
ground against each other. 1t is the
unanimous opinion of coaches and
critics that something must be done to
do away with this fault.
A suggestion which comes from the
east seems the most practicable solu-
tiol of this problem. This is that the
runner be allowed assistance from one
of his teammates and that the twenty
yard restriction be removed from on
side kicks. With assistance permit
ted from one man the danger of acct
dent is scarcely increased, while the
strength of the attack is greatly in
creased. The greatest objection to the
push and pull style of play lay in the
fact that the mass and jam of men at
one point often resulted in serious in
jury to tackles and to runners unable
to get out of the grasp of assisting
teammates. With only one man per-
mitted to help, jam could scarcely
occur.
The other, regarding the removal of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-11-30

the restriction upon the onside kick
Will be more difficult to work out. The
onside kick, which was a great ground
gamer under the old rules and espe-
clally IN 1903, when its possibilities
We're more fully recognized, was one Of
the prettiest and most spectacular
plays of the year. On account of the
body check, it became dangerous, and
last winter the rules committee, among
other revisions, placed a prohibition
upon it, penalizing the kick recovered
within twenty yards of the line of
scrimmage. The removal of this PEN
atty is what is needed to open up the
defense and SO strengthen the attack,
is the belief of many critics.
Another change which might be a
good one, but which seems improbable
as the new game is developed, is the
elimination of the quarter-game All
season this has been the subject of
criticism, the players themselves being
may be said on both sides of this ques-
ton. Some declare the pause between
the first and second and third and
fourth quarters, only three minutes, is
no more than the time which used to
be taken out for injuries 1t allows
the men breathing space and keeps
their wind, thus making the game the
faster.
On the other hand, the opponents of
the rule have their arguments to offer.
the sequence of plays and slows the
game. No man who is not trained to a,
degree that he may withstand 80 min
utes of stiff play is in condition suff1-
cfent to warrant his use in the game
at all. Fifteen minutes is scarcely time
enough for players to get working well
together and the rest causes them to
lose speed when they are going best.
Although the three-minute intermis-
sion is no longer than is permitted for
time out, the spectators, expecting it
and knowing it to be inevitable, lose
interest in the game.
Frequent substitution of players is
another change which is being urged.
Under the rules now in force a player
may be removed from the game and go
in again once at the beginning of any
succeeding quarter. The words "at the
beginning" of any quarter, declare crit
les, destroy the usefulness of the rule
for the purpose for which it was in
tended. When the rule was made it
was expected to do away with keeping
a man in the game after he had been
injured or playing him while he was
exhausted. This worked very we'll this
season for the men who started the
game. A man who started might be
taken out at any period of the game and
But the second strong man had no such
relief. The inability of most coaches
lay in not having time to coach a third
strong man nearly as well as the sec
ond strong athlete. In case a second
strong man was injured or became ex-
hausted he usually was obliged to await
the end of the quarter, when the man
first taken out might again. be sent in
to replace him.
