The football authorities of Yale University are
mingling scholarship with athletics, happy COM
bnaton most students will think. The University
Football Association has set aside six thousand
free tickets to stimulate scholarship in the public
schools of New Haven. These free tickets will
be distributed to the high standard pupils in all
the grammar and high schools of the city for the
games played by the Yale eleven at home with the
exception of the Wesleyan and Princeton games.
This distribution of the tickets should have the
effect of making the high school pupils study with
renewed vgor, and it is a happy thought on the
part of the Yale authorities. One result will be
TO wed the high and grammar school pupils of New
Haven more closely TO Yale than ever

UNCLE SAM AND MOVING PICTURES.

MOVING PICTURES have jumped into favor
i i with the Government. Uncle Sam thinks
that his children are not so we'll informed about
the workings of the Government at Washington
as they should be, and he intends to instruct them
by means of moving pictures. There will be NOV
ing pictures representing various governmental
activities.
A Chicago concern has been authorized to make
the films and its agents will soon be able to give
the people the benefit of their work. The films
will be exhibited in the various moving picture
places in the country and also in public lectures
There will be pictures Of the army and navy, the
work in Panama, fighting of forest fires the oper
ation Of mine rescue stations and the like.
Some time ago the State of South Carolina took
up the exploiting of life in that commonwealth
by means of moving pictures, and those who ad-
vocated it are pleased with the success of that
kind of advertising.
There is much in the idea. A moving picture
display Of life in Delaware would astonish some
Of those persons who think they know much about

THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

Forty years ago today Chicago
was still burning. According to
legends the confiagration was
caused by COW kicking over
lamp belonging to Mrs. OLeary.
Yesterday we recorded the theft
Of an umbrella by a COW. The
COW is a noble animal and she has
nice, soft India rubber nose.
She also ruminates in bosky dells,
beside purling brooks,
thing which we have always long
ed to do.
But when an otherwise practic-
ally sane COW goes out and steals
umbrellas, and is accused OF
arson, we are grieved
The excitement caused by the
burning of Chicago has never died
. out. OF course, a large part of the
town has been rebuilt, but the 8.
X. p.-meaning in telegraphic
code, great excitement prevails"
The sole duty Of Chicagoan is TO
surround himself with a crowd
and stand on cracker box and
holler:
Thus Il was forty years ago, is
now, and ever shall be.

A GOOD STEP.


~ HE holding of a conference Of Republican
4 leaders the other evening cannot but operate
for the benefit of he party and the city. The
leaders discussed municipal matters and those re-
lating to the county in frank and general way
with the idea Of seeing that every pledge made by
the party for good county and city government
should be carried out.
Frequent conferences similar to that of Tuesday
evening will be helpful in securing united action
and stimulating interest in the welfare of the
party. The Republicans are responsible for the
city and county governments, and they have no
disposition TO shirk that responsibility.
With general exchange of views, frank and
open criticism and suggestion, the party leaders
will be better able than TO work for efficient
government.
The people have set a high standard in these
days and such a standard must always be kept in
mind
The best answer party leaders can make to the
clamor for change and the adoption of new
things, is to show to the people that satisfactory
government can be secured under present methods.

A DISTANT DAY.

Socialism in an editorial article the other day. an
article that seems to have stirred the local Social
sts by saying the Socialists would not elect a
City Council like the present Council of Whining

Even some Socialists appear to doubt the wisdom
of turning over not only political but also indus
trial affairs to the state, and they WILL we suppose
really continue a campaign of education.
When we have proved that we can have salts
factory public ownership OF public utilities then
it may be time to discuss Socialism and what it
would mean. But we fancy that the day is far
distant when the majority of the people of this
country will agree TO the wholesale appropriation
of private property by the state.

Jse Gold Dust Instead of Soap

You really don't need soap in the

ossibly a little for your fine laces and

economically than you can with soap

1t is not required that the speakers

little reference to the annexation of
Canada. A few days ago Representa-

sion the straw man of Canadian an
nexation. the thing most calculated to
embarrass the ratification of the reci-
procity agreement in the Dominion, as
well as to seriously disturb the
friends of reciprocity here.

MAY BUILD IT.
Talk of Skyscraper for Washburn Col
Iege Revived.

The John c. Cooper Washburn col
lege skyscraper will probably material
ize. At least this is the opinion of those
who are particularly interested in the
proposition.
Plans have been drawn for a $4,000
eight story building to be erected on the
Cooper property on Jackson street and
now it remains for Cooper and Wash
burn college to come to terms.
Cooper has a lawyer drawing up a
proposition which he will present to
the college authorities in the very near
future. 1t is stated on good authority
that Washburn has money in
an amendment fund which could
be utilized in the erection
of the building, it is understood that
Cooper will give the property on which
the building will be erected if it is a
'go" and will provide at least $4,000
OF the cost of the structure.
The Washburn law school will occupy
one floor Of the building if plans work
out, and the Washburn medical school
another floor. A third floor could
easily be rented to one of the Topeka
business colleges it is hinted on good
authority, and the remaining floors
would be rented out to insurance and
other concerns which would be willing
to occupy an entire floor
In the meantime the WaShburn law
school will open Monday on the third
floor of the south wing of the old Mills
building, where there are nine avail
able rooms. According to Dean W. r.
Arthur the enrolment today was Is
in excess of that Of last year at the
same time.

REQUEST WAS POLITE.
And Lieutenant Smith Consents to Go
to Prison.

San Francisco. Sept. 16.-Lieuten-
ant Roy c. Smith recently attached to
the Saratoga, flagship of the Asiatic
squadron came ashore today from the
Japanese liner ShinYo Maru. He said
that while he had no intention of re-
considering his resignation he intends
to make a personal appeal to the sec
retary of the navy in Washington.
Lieutenant Smith said he resigned at
the request of Admiral Murdoch with
out making a fight before 4 court
martial, on account of the seriousness
Of the charges. The word Of other
officers alone stood against his denial,
he said. and as his own statement was
not believed he felt he could no long
er remain in the navy.
Lieutenant Smith says ne was the
victim Of circumstances and he hopes
to clear his name after presenting his
case at Washington. As the neuten-
ant stepped ashore he was met by
Lieutenant Charles p. Huff OF the ma
val training station with the request
he remain in confinement on the re-
ceiving ship Pensacola, until the navy
department should be heard from.
He consented.

hands on the Delaware. Lackawanna q
Western railroad have been ordered by
President A B. Lowe to strike at 6
oclock tonight.
The strike was authorized by the
national officers of the traclmen's un-

the company to arbitrate differences
with the men. The section men had
asked for an increase in wages, which
was refused Subsequently it is said
NJ. G. Foley, a section foreman and
chairman of the grievance committee
was dismissed. The section men claim
ed that he had been discharged be-
cause of his activity in the agitation
for increased wages and demanded his
reinstatement.
This, the men say was also refused
and then the union men suggested ar
bitration. President Truesdale OF the
company declined to arbitrate and the
strike today was the result. The strike
order takes in the entire Lackawanna
system between Hoboken, N. J., and

Parents are compelled to buy only

''It is a violation of the state law
for any city superintendent, member
of school board or any teacher to use

such requests or demands should be
ignored.
IF any teacher or other person
connected with the public schools
hands any of the children list of
books to be purchased by their par
ents. other than those regularly adopt
ed by the state text book commission,
and the same is reported to me, I will
provide an attorney, without cost, to
