tronomers are at work on the southern
hemispheres TO determine this That our
earth will tilt over until the present
North Pole slips down to our zone, or
perhaps even lower. is one OF these spec
ulations. Evidences found in the arctics
appear TO show that at one time tropical
vegetation abonnded in those regions. If
this was the case. and the arcties do
come to their own again, things in the
vicinity of Washington Will have either

eide to oveyturn things. send the North
Pole to the latitude which is now
claimed by Washington. just think of
what would happen. suppose IL should

six months for daylight The railroads
would all be buried and the rivers fro
zen. All people and animals rushing
from the darkness TO new temperate
zones, ON arriving there would find a
vast domain of rocks covered with melt
ing ice of the polar regions which had
been.
That the earth wiH cease its rotations
-nnd remain with one side always to-
ward the sun is another theory. Some
astronomers have already gone so FIR as
TO predict this and have cited the
oscillations of the poles of the
earth as an evidence of slaeken-
ing of the eaFth's speed. Were old
earth to play such prank as that
upon MS. we surely would move, and, de-
spite the vast amount of prejudice
against ocean travelling, liners, battle
ships, tughoats and even rowboats
would be in great demand. The whole
hemisphere would move either TO one
side or. the other. or face the horrible
prospect Of an intending winter and
night, which would certainly be looking
on the dark side of life with vengeance.

race to death with such predictions as

Prof Hill in his almost lifetime eX-
periments.
If man should come into possession
of piece of polar property and it should
be stipulated in the deed that the exact
point of the pole should serve as a cor
nerstone he would have to keep moving
his fences about To avoid possible prose-
cution for trespass. If Uncle sam marks

Prof. Hill is working with six or eight

WILL ENFORCE
/ GRANDFATHER LAW
Oklahoma Officials Ignore Rulings Of
Lower Federal courts-AppIy
Test, is Order.

Oklahoma City, Oct. l7-That the
| state authorities intend that the
grandfather clause shall be enforc.
ed at the coming general election, in
spite of prosecutions that have been
started in the federal courts against
inspectors who have attempted to en-
| force it, became evident tonight when
Attorney General West addressed al.
opinion to election officials advising
that the provision be followed. The
attorney general says that the suf
lfrage amendment should be enforced
in good faith and in all cases where
inspectors are in doubt as to the quail
fication of the person offering to vote
the test should be applied. 1t should
also be applied, he says, in every case
where a challenge is interposed on
the ground of lack of qualification to
vote under the amendment.
The opinion holds that the enforce.
ment of the law should not resolve
| itself into farce through laxity
neither should it be used oppressive
lly by requiring unusual or unjust tests
or by requiring any test at all where
the inspector knows that the propos
ed vote can pass the qualifications.
The instructions apply in their en-.
tirety to precincts where registration
| is not required, since in cities of the
| first class the possession of a regis.
tration certificate is required as evi
dence of qualification to vote but even
where registration certificates are
| furnished a voter may be challenged
on the ground that he cannot comply
with the qualifications required in the
grandfather clause according to the
opinion, and in these cases the test
should be applied.
The federal district courts of Okla
homa have held the grandfather
clause" to be contrary to the federal
constitution and several state election
officers have been convicted of viola
tion OF federal statutes in connection
with thu enforcement of the suffrage
amendment against negroes. The
state supreme court, however, has up
held the validity of the grandfather
clause, and the state authorities seem
determined to enforce it unless it is
knocked out by the United States su
preme court.

The inclemency Of the weather kept
"a large crowd from meeting the train.
1t seemed that every one depended on

sequently there was only few at the
depot when the train pulled in, but
quite a crowd gathered after the band
began to play.
Headed by their own special band
the boosters marched down Wilson
street to the Court house where they
played few selections, after which
they marched to the Auditorium
where the remainder OF the time was
spent. The train returned to Spring

men from Alton accompanied the
boosters to Vinita. The boosters dined

INTERNATIONAL RUGBY AND THE
GAME.
(By Buford Williams

Stanford University, Oct. 12.-As d
mdtter of athletics it might be of in
terest to Chieftain readers and ad'
mirers of the old football game, to
know more about the Rugby game and
Its relation to American football.
Rugby, as you may know, is the
national game of Australia, is of Eng
lish origin, and the Australians are
the true exponents of it.
Australia's picked team played Stan
ford today on Stanford's turf, and the
hard victory won by the Australians
over Stanford will place American
Rugby foot-ballers on the international
map. America has won place in the
game We say America-we should
say the Pacific Coast
The score of today's game was, Aus
tralia 6, Stanford o. Australia has
played the game for years past-Stan-
ford has played the game but six
years.
The Australians play the game from
the time they are little boys until they
have become old men, and when they
have finished the learning of the game
Australians say, have graduated in
the game"-they may try for the ma
tional team. That is the kind of team
that played Stanford. The team came
seven thousand miles and they are re
ceiving royal reception.
The Australians do not play the
game to win, they play the game foI
sport-not clean sport, for they hold
that sport is clean without any quail
flying adjective before the word.
Playing the game lifetime, they
become wonders at it. They learn to
drop with either hand to either foot
while running and make drop-kick
or punt; and while running in one
direction. punt in the opposite
The popular opinion among home
footballers is that the Rugby game is
game of kicking the ball That is
bad opinion to have Of such great
game as Rugby. 1t is much more ex
letting game, a harder game, and a
game that gives each player more in
diyidual chances. than the "old" game
ever could under its principal rules

Taft has lost 1908 votes to the
Third Termer and 1922 to Wilson.
Roosevelt has also secured sos So.

The poll indicates that Utah is the
only state in which Taft has a fair
chance of winning. California, Ari.

The Herald states in~its review that
Governor Wilson is still well in the
