Get Ready for
 the E'ourth

Some very good things have been prepared on short notice but there Is more chance for mistake (and regrets) in quick action pic parations than in those that have time in plenty.
 The I35th university of our in dependence as a nation is fast ap- preaching and it Is coming to Wrangell as quickly as to any other town. If there is to be in Wrangell the time for preparation is already limited to ore month.

LEGISLATURE
OF 1911
: BY LYNN HAINES

Does it pay. politically. to accept
anything without fight? Or is
it safer to reverse the old rule of
the ages and "look gift horse ir
the mouth? The progressives in
the legislature are wondering.
Some of the shrewder ones have
about decided that concession
and counterfeit" are sisterly syn
onyms. 1t happened like this:
The progressives demanded that
the rules be reformed in at least
two vital respects They knew that
most of the evils of legislation
could be traced % to the smother
ing and distorting of bills in stand
ing committees and az to the lack
of publicity in connection with the
acts of such committees. To change
the first Cannonistic condition w.
A. Campbell drafted and presented
to the Committee Oh Rules-Messrs.
Mackenzie, Congdon, Stone. Fowler
and Westcott-an amendment which
required that practically all bills be
reported back to the House from
their committees within fifteen
days. w. |. Nolan, also of Mime
apolis, offered the other amend
ment requiring all committees to
keep public record of their meet
ings.
The Committee on Rules "conce-
ded" the first demand and incor-
porated this concession in their
report. Instead of single joker it
seems to have twin stings in its
provisions. At least it admits of
Interpretation" by those in author
ity; and that is the issue in all such
controversies. The new rule reads:
Every bill. other than for ap.
preparations. claims or reapportion.
ment. referred to a standing com.
mittee. shall be reported therefrom
within twenty days after its receipt
by the committee. Any such bill
not so reported within such period
unless such period is extended by g
vote of the house. shall, five days
after any member gives notice ir
the house that he requires such bill
to be reported to the house, be de.
livered to the speaker, with o,
without a report of the committee
and lie on the table of the house,
The amendment is all right SC
far as the first sentence goes. Il
should end there. Then there
would be no mistaking its meaning
or application.
But why was there provision
for its violation? Does it NEAR
that if a member does not demand
the return Of bill from it's com
mittee that the bill shall remain
there. as it might have done under
the old order of things? Why doe'
not the rule say simply and square
ly that standing committees shall
report all bills back within a statec
time. unless an extension has beer
granted by the house.
The feature of this new rule tina
looks the most deceptive and dan
gerous to me is the last line, which
plainly provides that bills so re
ported shall ''lie on the table of tn
house." The regular course for
bill is for it to go from its commit
tee to general orders. Here agai1

Cutting Up Old Furs.

There is a knack Of cutting up old
furs with which all women are not
familiar. The pelt should be turned
wrong side up and the skin slowly and
carefully cut with a sharp penknife,
the blade penetrating the skin only
and not touching the long hairs. Cut
ting fur with scissors destroys the
beauty of the hair and wastes much Of
the pelt that might he saved by the

the issue of Interpretation comes in.
The presiding officer might rule
that it required more than ma
jority vote to take vital bill from
the table and advance it. There
are other ways in which important
bills might be manipulated out Of
their rightful place under this rule
The other reform was not "con-
ceded." The proqressives had to
fight for it, and they were defeated
decisively-62 to 46. When the re-
port of the Committee on Rules was

The lone socialist in the legisla-
ture-N. S. Hillman of Two Har-
bors- and the four House prohibit
tionists-R Rufus P. Morton. A. V.
Anderson. Geo. H. Voxland and c.
l.. Sulerud-h have taken their stand
with the progressives.
The most significant and inexcus-
able thing about this battle be-
tween the progressives and reac:
tionaries is the ,''steam roller
method Of the administration forces
in adopting the report of the Com
mittee on Rules. The new rules
contained important changes. parti-
cularly in reference to salaries of
employees. and many members
asked that the report be printed
and laid over for a day. But this
request for a chance to consider
the changes was voted down and
the rules made the basic law of the
House. Now they cannot easily be
changed except by two thirds
vote.
In the fight over the rules the ad-
ministration faction befogeed the
issue. They insisted that every at
tempt to reform the rules was a
slap at Speaker Dunn. That was
not the issue and it will not be the
issue in contests that are to come.
The issue is to make the house de-
Lucrative, to give unhampered
power to the majority; and to take
czasish authority from the speaker
and his committee on rules. 1t
does not matter in the least whether
the speaker and this. committee are
progressive or reactionary.

Senate. Lieutenant Governor Cor
don presides with dignity and JUS
tice. As the organizing officer of
| the upper branch he has fully justi-
fed the expectations of his friends.
He has made the important commit
tees progressive. The Senate is to
be in the hands of a majority of the
Senate. 1t will be a pleasure to
deal with this unusual condition in
later letters.

Yale Regulars Are
Excused From Drill

NEW HAVEN. Oct. 3.-The practice
of Iale's varsity eleven was light yes
terday. Following the strenuous Holy
Cross game on Saturday most of the
regulars who are assured of places
were excused from the scrimmage
work. but following the routine drill
on fundamentals had a long signal
practice. The game of Saturday has
caused a few changes in the varsity
lineup. Perry, the new right tackle
did such phenomenal work that he
dlsplaced Warren. and the change is
likely to be permanent. He is tall
rangy. speedy. and aggressive, and
captain OF the wrestling team. Nor

men in swapping the ball.

PRINCETON SQUAD
ENJOYS EASY DRILL
IN -FOUR PERIODS
Rutgers Expected to Give
Tigers First Real Con-
test of Year.

PRINCETON, October 3-The Tiger
footbaIIers were given an easy drill at
Osborn Field today in anticipation Of
the Rutgers game to be played here to
morrow. This game should be the first
the farcical performance on Saturday
which was less of an exhibition than
a daily ecrimmage between the first
and second elevens. With tine excep-
ton of a snappy signal drill and q
mere semblance Of scrlmmage when the
varsity line attempted to break up the
scrub formations, falling on the ball
and catching punts were the hardest
part of this afternoons work.
The drill today was in sharp contrast
10 the grueling scrimmage. lasting more
than an hour, whirh Cunningham and
Roper put their charges through yes
terday. The dri1l consiGted of four De-
iiods, the varsity holding the ball for
two of these and the scrubs for the
other two. From tie point of the score,
the honors went TO the scrubs, for Oh
two different occasions they pushed
their way across the varsity goal using
the forward pass in a spectacular man
ner. The varsity scored when Penfield
dropped over an easy field goal and
later pushed Sawyer across the line
after De Witt had encircIed the scrubs
left end for thirty yards.
Hammond at halfback on the scrubs
yesterday was easily the star of the
practice. The ease with which he shot
forward passes to his waiting ends wa:
picture. and several times he got
away for clever runs. Dutch" Brown

togs for the first time this season and

Blackboard Talk for
Crimson Footballers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Get. Al
though the Harvard football men fn-
ished the Bates game in first class con-
clifton, with the exception Of the suEsti-
tute quarterback, Gardner, who hurt
his leg and will be off the field for the
remainder Of the week, there was no
scrimmage for the varsity in the
stadium Yesterday.
The play ers instead spent a ,ons time
at the blackboard and tten an hour on
the field under the position coaches.
There was not even the usual long
signal drill. the regulars running
through only few plays.
In these the team lined up as in the
first and third periods against Bates.
with the exception that Campbell was
in the bac;sfield and WigSlesworth at
quarterback. The old varsity general
put a lot OF life into tie men, and
doubtless will get his first chance Of the
season against Holy Cross on Saturday.

the field today for the first time 10
