Another scoreless football game was
played yesterday afternoon at Broad
Street Park, when the Spiders were
unable to cross the goal line of the
Fredericksburg College eleven. The
one redeeming feature of the game
was that foe the greater part OF the
time the bell was kept In the visitors
territory. Poor Judgment on the part
of Wicker, who was running the local
team. was responsible for Richmond

The game was played in a driving
wind ana rain storm, which made it
impossible for the men to show any
agGressveness. The field was wet and
soggy and IL was more like scramble

Withstand the steady downpour.

Suppression Of Treating.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New YORK Tribune.
The latest proposal of temperance re-
formers in New Jersey is decidedly radi-
cal. Of it's effectiveness, if it were en-
forced. there can be little doubt, but the
difficulty Of enforcing it would be i'm
mense. The opposition to it and the de-
nunciaion of 1t as an infringement of
personal liberty must also be great, per-
haps greater than to outright prohibit
ton. The plan is to forbid treating
under penalty of forfeiture of license
There can be no doubt that the practice
of treating is one of the worst abuses
Of the liquor traffic, or rather of the
liquor habit, and that it is one Of the
most prolific causes of intoxication. Com
paratively few men would go to bar
and drink alone until they were drunk
But when several go together. or meet
there. and each treats all the others to a
round of drinks. intoxication becomes i'm
minent. AS commonly practiced it is a
pernicious habit. Years ago there was
organized in this city an anti-treatine
society, which aimed to minimize the evil
by voluntarily refraining from it. That
was a good thing. But whether the same
end can be attained by legal compulsion
must, with strong approval of the pur-
pose. be regarded as problematic.

not an adequate provision for the upkeep

The Reciprocity Agreement.
From the New York Times.


When confronted with evidence of the
growth of tariff reform sentiment in the
country the republican organs used to
say that, nevertheless, there was one
more republican presidential victory in
the tariff. We can tell the republicans
now that there is a sure presidential vic
tory for the democrats in the Canadian
reciprocity agreement if they reject it.
The agreement as President Taft has
the people and they will understand it
as they have never understood a tariff
bill. because it directly affects consum-
era because it reduces import duties on
articles of universal consumption. LOOK
at the commodities made free of duty.
The list includes live animals. poultry,
grains. vegetables. potatoes. fruits and
berries. eggs. cheese. milk and cream.
while there is a substantial reduction of
duty on meats. lard. -four and = great
variety of manufactured articles.

could be stamped out soon. but through
out China the natives are intensely inim-
ical to all such methods Of supervision
and control. and. being naturally sus-
picious Of foreign influence, spread the
report that the western healers are ma
gicians who are seeking their lives. In
such a state of society progress In the
face of popular prejudice is difficult. Were
the government at Peking strong and
capable some Roadway might BE- made
against the epidemic. But the govern
ment is itself under the suspicion OF the
native populace, and therefore in this
emergency finds itself handicapped.
Apparently everything has been done
that is possible to protect the lives of
the Official colony at Picking. but in the
circumstances complete assurance cannot
be expected. Minister Calhoun is sending
reassuring reports. but it is to be feared
that the situation is grave. The disease
now raging is of character that de-
velops most rapidly in the conditions OBJ
tanning throughout China 1t breeds from
the filth in which the millions of that
part of the world live. and sanitary
measures against its spread a-e conducted
under tremendous difficulties The best
that can be hoped is that this outbreak
may be checked before it develops a
malevolent political effect. In view of
the circumstances of the Boxer rebellion
of 1900 it is not beyond the range OF
possibility that a reactionary outbreak
may occur at any time. Already anti
foreign riots have occurred at Hankow,
the American representative there ask
ing for a warship. 1t is to be expected
that every possibls precaution will be
taken by the powers to cope with any
situation that may arise, profting by the
experiences of eleven years ago.

Reciprocity and Revision.

Those democratic leaders who are to
prepare the bill revising the Payne law
should rejoice in the appearance of the
tariff pact with Canada at this time.
Had it been sent to Congress as surprise
next winter it might have upset their
calculations-might have obliged them
to go over portion at least of their
work. AS they are just beginning the
shaping of their plans. they can take the
pact into account now, even should it
fail of Endorsement by the republicans at
this session.
There has been an idea, particularly
since the Baltimore jubilee, that the
tariff next year would be simple propo-
sition. Might it not take the form of a
revision of the wool schedule of the
Payne law as a starter? The republicans
are not united in support Of that schedule.
The President did not like it at the time
he signed the new measure, and the DEM
ocrats to man were opposed to it. Why
should not Mr.. Clark and his friends
content themselves with overhauling
schedule not acceptable even to many Of
the republican leaders, and then ask for
an Endorsement at the polls upon prom
Use to go on with the work, piece by piece,
until the whole Payne law should be re-
yised out of existence?
The President has changed the situa-
ton. He has tackled other features of
the present law. He would materially
liberalize our trade relations with Canada
by a reciprocity arrangement Of far
reaching Importance, and asks his party
i'm Congress to support the proposition.
The matter will not end If no action is
taken by this Congress. 1t is part nov
OF our general tariff question, and the
next Congress will have to deal with it.
It's friends will bestir themselves i'm it's
behalf, and its opponents will be as
active.
The Presidents message next winter i'll
its tariff feature should be a particularly
interesting document. The chances of his
denomination are today nine in ten, and
that the tariff will be the paramount
issue seems certain. How, then, will he
put the matter up to Congress. and what
response in the way of a bill will the
House make? Both sides will have the
presidency I'm mind, and both will find 1t
advisable to walk warily.
But, to repeat, the democrats are for
tunate in having nearly a year in which
to study the new aspect of the case before
putting their own views into shape for
discussion and action.

Menace of Concealed Weapons.
the Chicago Iecord-Hcrald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1t is notorious that our recent legiSla-
ton for che control of the sale of re-
volvers and other deadly weapons has
proved a total failure. Chief Steward has
not hesitated to admit this and to recon-
mend the abolition of the deadly weapon
bureau in his Departmental bureau that
has accomplished nothing i'm return for
the money and men it has cost the police
service. But the chief is not hopeless. He
proposes a different line of attack on the
danger and nuisance. He favors state
legislation making it felony to carry
concealed weapons. When. he thinks. the
semi-criminal gangs learn that to be
caught with q weapon means six months
in the penitentiary. the ready pistol habit
will suffer a loss of popularity. and the
annual number Of shOotings and killings
may be materially reduced. Certainly the
new remedy is worth trying.

Hint to Drivers.
the Providence Bulletin

ETOtn the FfOvluence BuIIctln.
One of the best of city traffic rules is
the one requiring drivers of vehicles to
stop when passengers are entering or
leaving cars. This regulation is clearly
in the interest of public safety, for a per-
son stepping from a car is not in position
to dodge teams or automobiles. Prudent
drivers appreciate this condition and stop
until the car starts, and thus avoid knock
ing people down. Reckless and ignorant
drivers who dash past standing cars on
the narrow and crowded streets deserve
to be arrested, and the activity of the
police i'm enforcing the rule is most COM
mendable The punishment imposed yes
terday on offenders by the police court
should help materially In stopping dan
gerous practice.

Hard luck after Timmins went.
But went for him in vain.
He lodged a railway accident
Because he missed train.
He went to see the dentist, who
BY chance was busy then,
And found that in an hour or two
His tooth was well again.
He saw his steamer sail away
And paused with glee to note
How seasick he'd have been that day
If he had caught the boat.

And welded Sammy Skid.

He was right glad she did.
