university team went on the moor WITH
the determination Of cutting down the
lead its opponents had made. The

Thanksgiving passed off very
pleasantly.
Will Bronson is very sick with

Hazel Swingle is now getting bet
ter.
The following verses have been
written by Mrs. Walter Swingle on
the great Austin flood:
In the State of Pennsylvania,
Meath the Potter county hills,
Stood the little town of Austin
with it's factories and its mills.
On sultry day in August,
Ninteen hundred and eleven,
The alarm of fire
To it's inhabitants was given.
The people all with one accord
Ran in the streets to see
Where and in what direction
The fire fiend must be.
The Baylass dam has bursted,"
Were the shrieks that filled the air,
While many a heart sent up to God,
A plea for mercy prayer.
The water madly rushing,
In it's onward course did flow,
Bringing death and destruction
To the little town below.
Little did they think that day
When the Sabbath sun did rise
That ere the day was ended,
Death would still their cries.
Fearing neither God nor man
Upon the Sabbath day,
Their machinery was kept a-running
Their men were under pay.
But the one that holds the ocean
In the hollow of his hand,
Can also hold the Baylass
Or loose at his command.
Now, all you factory owners
And men of high estate,
When with business you are pressed
Remember Austin's fate.
Set aside the Sabbath,
The day that God has blessed,
Shut down your machinery,
And let your labors rest.

FOOTBALL VICTIMS.

Ten killed and forty-one in
iured is the distressing toll OF
football this season, with
Thanksgiving to be heard from.
If football were as popular as
baseball and as universally
played, a united demand would
go up for a reform of the bru-
tality out of the game. To a
certain extent the lmpulsiye
statement made by Colonel
Roosevelt a few years ago, that
the young man who is not will
ing to risk a broken collarbone
or arm is a mollycoddle, is true;
but the parents of the Dunmore
youth who had his neck brok-
en- in a game a few weeks ago
and died, and the parents or
the other players who have been
killed in the midst of promising
careers cannot be convinced
that a game in which the risk
is so great is necessary to
bring out the robust qualities
of young manhood.-Wilkes-
Barre Record.
While it does seem that revised
football is not yet so well revised a
it ought to be, the casualty figure
for this year, which were not ma
terially altered by the Thanksgiving
games, show some improvement
Ten killed and Al injured is bette
than 13 killed and 500 injured
which was the record for 1911; or l
killed and .429 injured, in 1910; o
33 killed and 246 injured, in 1909.

ing. why do they continue to fight
Roosevelt so hard?" This question is
fair one, and one easily answered.
Colonel Roosevelt's main purpose now
is not to win for himself but to defeat
Taft, either in June or November.
To that end he is striving, arduousIy,
relentlessly and savagely The more

Roosevelt has done everything in his
power to disrupt the Republican party,
and his lieutenants in West Virginia

ROOSEVELT AND THE REcIPRoc.
ITN TREATY

One Of the principal arguments
used TO incite prejudice against Presi.
dent Taft among the farmers in par
ticular. has been the claim that the
Canadian reciprocity treaty surren.
dered the interest OF the American
farmers. AS a matter Of fact, II all
the farm products grown in Canada
could be turned into the United
States the amount would not to a
great degree affect the prices Of the
American farm products The seven
million people OF Canada are not all
engaged in agriculture. and a great
portion Of their agricultural surplus Is
shipped 10 Great Britain. The sur.
plus which they could send 10 the
United states under the most favor.
ing conditions would not be great.
To-day We are importing into the
United States potatoes from Scotland
and Ireland. n Canadian potatoes
could be brought in free OF duty. Ger.
tsinly the result would be beneficial
and blessing instead Of injury to
the American people. However. Presi.
dent Taft did not stand alone in his
advocacy Of reciprocity Col Roose.
