Princeton. y. j. Sept. 26-The under
graduates az Princeton saw some real foot
bsT to-day. The Tigers settled down 10
work and a stiT scrimmage was held, last
ing about thirty minutes. After umbering
no with the usual drill IN tackling and get
tins down under punts the varsity took
the ball IN midfeld and by a series OF
short end runs carried. the ball 10 the 15-
ward lire. where Baker fell back and
dropped a neat field goal Again the ball
was given 70 the regulars on their own %
~ard mark, and once again they started a
slow march down the field until they
reached the 25-yard mark. where Baker
once more booted the ball between the up
rights for the second score.
The scrimmage contained some encour-
aging features, but the bsckield found It
almost impossible 10 gain consistently. and
# was Disappointing that no touchdowns
ware scored. Both Baker and Sawyer got
away for some brilliant gains, but they
couldn't always repeat, and we're at times
even thrown Tor losses. Penfeld again
PLAYED fullback. with good success. while
Pendleton ran the team az quarter.
Captain Eddie Hart was on the field in
toys for the first time this year and showed
extraordinary speed for a man OF his bulk.
II ,s planned 70 play him IN the line this
wear probably at tackle, although some
would IKE 20 see him play at end because
Of his speed and fierce tackling.
shift in the makeup Of the varsity
that attracted no little attention was the
PLAYING OF Vaughn at tackle. Vaughn pre-
v'ously has been playing IN the backAeld.
but the coaches evidently think that he

My Dear Elsa-Dick was perfectly
furious the other evening when he
came home. You know we have left
town and are living In a convenient
suburb away from the hustle and heat
of New York city. 1 was calmly sit
ting on the porch reading N Of the
best sellers when the gentleman indig-
nantly burst in upon my enjoyment
with the remark, uttered In no gentle
tone, II missed my train by relying on
a time table you handed me last
night"
Now 1t seems that Dick received an
important business telegram night be-
fore last which required his presence
In town early the next morning, and
his first thought was to look up the
trains. Naturally he asked me for a
time table, and l cheerfully gave him
the old one, which lost him his ap-
pointment and incidentally q contract
that would have netted him S11, simply
by missing a train. 1t was the old
story of the other man getting there
first.
In your orderly household such a
collection of time tables probably new
er would have been allowed to accu-
mulate. Ours are. or rather were. kept
In a writing table drawer, not ar
ranged in order. but thrown in any old
way, old and new together.
In this instance l had happened not
TO get a very old time table, but Oh
about middle aged, old enough to be
wrong but still young enough to make
me trust 1t, which is plainly where l
slipped a cog. Now l have inaugural
ed a great domestic reform which l
would like to pass on to all careless
persons given to boarding time tables.
In this reform movement I was very
generously aided by the victim of the
lost train, for Dick brought home a
complete set Of current time tables,
and then l emptied the drawer Of all
the old mes and put the new ones In,
arranged in order, and afterward is
sued a general household order on the
subject of time tables to the effect that
they must be kept-those Of each road
In a pile by themselves-aLd, further,
that whenever a new time table on any
road was brought in the correspond
ing old one must be teetotally and I'M
hesitatingly thrown away
This scheme. l am sure, Is going to
work beautifully, but I fear that ev-

A method of Kidding q lawn of dan
dellons is to go ove the yard and put
a drop of sulphuric acid from a medi-
cine dropper into the heart of each
dandelion plant, being careful not to
touch the surrounding grass with it.
One drop will be sufficient to cause the
death Of the roots Of a small plant, but
large plants of old growth may need q
second application.
II a lawn is watched carefully for a
season or two and the sulphuric acid
applied to all new plants you may soon

English tracts and ermon Of the

The geology and mineral re.
sources of st. Louis and vicinity
are briefly described by N. M.
Fenneman in bulletin (No. 438)
just issued by the United States
Geological Survey. The area
covered in the report includes st.
Louis, East st. Louis and adjacent
portions of Missouri and Illinois.
The rise and fall of the region
where st. Louis now stands, sew
eral times repeated, indeed, are
sketched by the author. These
changes from land to sea and sea
to land cover long periods of geo.
logic time, too great to be esti-
mated in years or centuries, and
reach back to an age when the
world was relatively young and
when the primal ocean covered
the greater portion of the present
land area. During several of these
geological periods the slopes OF
the Ozarks were submerged al
most continuously, and, as shown
in the present rock record, nearl Y
5000 feet of sediment, more than
three-fourths OF which is repre-
sented to-day by limestone, slow
|ly accumulated in the st. Louis
area.

Law-Making Judges.

R2E 2kSt y Y
Harper's Weekly digs down to the
bottom of the question Of recalling
judges. To the insistence Of q
correspondent that the Recall is
necessary to avoid the danger to
democracy Of giving irresponsible
law-making power to any class,
Sthe candid Weekly replies: "Is
there not some novelty in the idea
that the common run Of people are
SO much more trustworthy than
the judges?' There you have
undisguised the answer to the ju-
dicial recall idea. There is no
other answer in substance. The
common run Of people must have
somebody to make their laws,
they being themselves unworthy

the judges where there are no

"Otller Reasons"

The Atlanta Journal publishes
Washington letter in which it
gives in detail the views OF num-
Der of southern senators on the
Bristow amendment to the resolu-
ton relating to the election of
United States senotors by popular
vote. In tho course Of the letter
the Journal + preventative says:
"While meme of them will admit
the fact, it is unquestionably true
that many-probably maj ajority-
of the southern senators and rep
resentatiyes, at heart oppose the
direct election of senator's. They
dare not express their views pub
liely, because their state legisla-
lures have gone on record as
favoring the proposition. Pri-
vately, some of these senators ad-
NIT that their legislatures acted
hastily They say that the ques-
ton was never well considered;
that most of the resolutions favor
able to popular elections were
rushed through with little or no
debate; that none ever stopped to
| consider the consequences; they
never thought. for an instant that
anything like the Bristow amend
ment would be incorporated in the
scheme"
This is true and it is we'll for the
public to know. A number of
southern senators are at heart OPP
posed to the election of senators
by popular vote; they are also OPP
posed to any effective antitrust
legislation, to any genuine tariff
reform and to any thing else that
the people need. They are just as
servile tools of plutocracy as any
of the Republican senators from
the east. One of them, in fact,
suggested that the conservative
democrats ought to join the eastern
republicans to oppose the progress
i've republicans and progressive
democrats of the senate. These
are the men who are just now ter
ribly agitated for fear the Bristow
amendment might bring a force
bill. They and the plutocratic re-
publicans are trying to get up a
sham battle over the question OF
"control of elections" in order to
enable the predatory interests to
retain control Of the senate-that
is, the control they are most in
terested in. The democrats have
done what they could to relieve the
south of the fear of a force bill--a
fear that has no foundation in fact
and thought to be possible to find
a phraseology on which the house
and senate can agree, but friend
ship should be reciprocal; the
south ought to pay some attention
to the real danger that menaces the
north-the danger of having favor
seeking corporations control the
election of senator's. This is not
an imaginary danger-it is here.
The south will confront a real
danger if it allows its corporation
senators to put it in an attitude of
Indifference to the evils which the
present system of election of sem
ators has brought upon the north.
