WORRIES YALE COACHES.
West Point Game May Be Too
Strong for Dark Blue.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, October IL
The game with West Point next Satur-
day seems to worry the Yale coaches,
and the fact that there doesn't seem to
be a man in the Packfield Of the var
sity, outside of Capt. Howe. who seems
to be able to hold the ball without
fumbling, will probably be met by a
shake-up unless great improvement is
shown in the coming few days. Much
time is being devoted to handling
punts and passing the ball. At the
opening of yesterdays scrimmage the
scrubs drove the varsity down the field
and scored a touchdown. the first made
against the varsity team this year.

MANAGER STOVALL HONORED.
On Departure to New York, Team
mates Present Silver.

CLEVELAND, October 11.-Manager
George Stovall of the Cleveland Amer
lean League Club, was presented with a
chest of silver yesterday, prior to his de
parture for New York to witness the
worlds series, by the players of the club.
There were eighty-two pieces in the
chest, the total value being $275.
1t is doubtful whether Stovall will play
with the Cleveland club again. since 1t
has become known that he will not be
retained as manager next season.
1t is said he may try to obtain the
management of some other major league
team.

The interhigh school foot ball series

Western and Central are booked to meet
in the first contest Friday and arrange
mcnts have been made to play the game
on the Blue and Gray's gridiron. Efforts
are being made to have all the games
played on that field. but whether they
will be successful is not definitely known.
although the chances are that they will.
The matter of a suitable field on which
to play the series has been worrying the
high school authorities for some time and
it was not until yesterday that a place
to play the first game was decided upon
Had Georgetown Field not been obtana-
BILE it is questionable where the games
would have been played, there being
no other place suitable for them.
Each year the idea of obtaining place
for the holding of interhigh school con-
tests, is being brought forward, and it is
to be hoped that ii will not be long be-
fore an athletic field for the use of the
schools Will be secured. The need of such
place at present is very great. The
grounds even on which to practice and
have to depend on arrangements made
on the spur of the moment to get a
suitable place for their teams work
out during the practice season.
A game which is attracting consider
able attention in this section this week
is the one scheduled between the Navy
and Princeton. Taking heart from the
great showing made against Princeton
by the Lehigh eleven, the Navy adher-
ents are thinking that their team will
stand fair chance to win from the
Tigers.
Princeton, at present, is farther adj
vanced in foot ball tactics than is the
Navy. which team never reaches its zen
18th until later in the season. 1t is likely.
though. that Princeton will find that it
has no easy job on its hands to win
from the sailors. The score made by
Princeton against Colgate Saturday
would seem to indicate that the team
made great strides in the few days in
tervening between that and the Leigh
game. especially in the matter of line
play. 1t is certain unless Princeton's
line is considerably strengthened before
a snag in Dalton, the Naval Academy
halfback. Dalton is one OF the best line
breaking halfbacks in the country, and
he has yet to find the team against
which he could not gain ground. His
punting is of the highest order also, he
which are extremely hard to Judge and
even harder to handle well when they
are judged. The coach of the Washing
ton and Jefferson team, which lost to
the Navy by 16-to-0 score last Satur-
day. made the statement that Dalton is
half the Navy team. and that in his
opinion there is not better man back
of any line in the country.
Comparing the records of the local high
school teams, it does not appear that any

GROWING PREVALENCE of Perjury

A judge upon the bench recently re-
marked upon the astonishing amount
OF perjury committed by witnesses,
and even litigants, In court, and yet
despairingly observed that It was diff
cult, il not impossible. to prevent or
punish it. 1t is, indeed, deplorable
that perjury of this sort should make
the oath a farce and many court pro-
.ceedings a travesty. In making per-
jury felony the law shows how seri-
Gus crime society regards it, and yet
society sits by while it is committed
with perfect impunity.
1t is demoralizing, this systematic
lying under oath. If a man will lie
after he has sworn specifically to tell
the truth he will lie under any cir
cumstances. He will soon lose all
moral scruples and hold the truth in
contempt. But it Is not alone in the
court room where the sin Of perjury
is committed. 1t is committed in
false swearing to business tTansac-
lions, at ports of customs, to the tax
collector, and people think nothing
OF It,
There are certain religious sectl
that do not believe in subscribing to
an oath of any kind. Sometimes il
seems that they have sound reason on
their side At least one might be justi
fled in assuming that we do too much
oath-taklng. OF course it is wrong tC
give false witness, whether one ma.
sworn to tell the truth or not, bu
doing It upon an oath is doubly bad
That makes the lie perjury. punishabl,

If there is any way to check thi
tendency toward contempt for thu
truth 1t ought to be found out and ap
piled without delay. Destroy the high
est regard for truth and you have de
stroyed much of the vitality OF a PEG
pie. Cultivate respect for the trutl
and you have given virility to the ma
tional life. 1t takes courage often t.
stick to the truth. 1t sometimes mean
sacrifice. But truth is an impregnabl

The governor OF Colorado is to call
a conservation convention to be held
In Denver next August TO promote a
national policy which will insure to
the states the control OF their natural
resources" The plan is to restrict the
attendance to delegates from western
states in which there is still much I'M
disposed public land Objection has
been raised TO the proposal Of inviting
Roosevelt, Pinchot and Garfield. on
the ground that they are not western
men and could not, II they would. ex-
press the sentiment of western states,
although IL is explained that no slight
to any Of these men is intended.
At the very outset those who are
getting up this convention should be
impressed with the necessity of broad
gagged policy They should remember
the burlesque conservation congress
held at st. Paul last year which was
nothing more nor less than partisan
political convention and did really
little good, but possibly harm, to the
cause of conservation. Roosevelt,
Pinchot and Garfield are not residents
Of western states, but they have had
good deal to do with the conserva-
ton Of resources in western states
and could undoubtedly be of help TO
the movement, though If the interests
Of conservation can be better sub
served without their presence it would
seem folly to invite them.
Il may as we'll be assumed that any
policy seeking to control natural re-
sources which draws the line toe
sharply between state and federal
authority is going to cause trouble
1t is to be hoped no such issue will
come from this Denver convention
It is well enough to say that this is to
be q western congress for western
states and that the east is not con
cerned. but that will not quite do 81
long as these resources, so many Of
them, are part of the public domain
and the east insists on having a voice
in the disposition of the property and
affairs of the nation. 1t would seen
easy enough to avoid neutralizing tn,
great good that such convention
might accomplish by simply takinl

The Triumph of Sumter.

The fiftieth anniversary OF the
firing upon Fort Sumter finds a re-
united people so buslly engaged in the
pursuit of peace that they have to be
reminded the second time of what oc-
CURED on April 10, 1861, before they
can be diverted from their daily tasks.
If Mr.. Lincoln could be alive today he
would rejoice in the fulfllment of his
immortal Gettysburg appeal, That
this nation under God shall have a
new birth OF freedom--and that gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth"
With all his influence to avoid
bloodshed, President Lincoln finally
admitted that only through the cruci-
bic OF war could the canker OF dis
union be destroyed; that with all its
toll Of human life and property the wal
was the only means of settling ques-
tion that had to be settled, and all
men now see that he was right. Peo-
pie speak of the four long years OF
civil strife. But, after all, they
are but day as compared with the
interminable turmoil that would have
ensued had not the issue come to arms
and men of one blood fought out or
the field of battle what they coult
never have hoped to determine other
wise.
The shot fired upon Sumter fifty
years ago served the double purpos,
of bringing on the war Of the rebel
lion and paving the way to a condi
ton where such a war in this coun
try never could be fought again
Swords long years ago became pillow
shares and spears pruning hooks. TIL
business Of today is peace. Holding
in reverence what their sires did, tn
sons of the north and the south hav
clasped hands in an indissolubl
union, highly resolved" as Lincoln
said, that these dead shall not hay

sought by those who fought to restor

The number OF laws passed with
emergency clauses to make them effec-
tive at once seems to be increasing
with every succeeding Nebraska legis-
lature. In a great majority Of in
stances the emergency declaration is
purely fictitious, and no good reason
exists for not letting the law take the
usual course Of waiting ninety days
to become operative. The seriousness
of the matter arises from the complete
failure of the legislature to provide
for publicity of emergency laws by
which acts made criminal or penalized
may be committed by persons who
have no means whatever of knowing
in what respect the law has been
changed. If people are to be pre-
sumed to know the law they should
have some way OF finding out what
the law is.
