Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1912-05-29

When the leading business men
and financiers of this country band
themselves together for the broaden
ing and reformation of the banking
system, having no political axes to
grind, and are suggesting such i'm
provements in the system that war
rant perpetual protection for large
and small business concerns, for agri-
culture as we'll as labor, the public is
aroused to the fact that something
great is on foot. These men are of
all political shades, but the reforms
they seek have no political complex
ion. They would have the banks CO.
operate with the business men of the
country for mutual protection
against the greed of the money spec
ulators

A circular issued in the campaign
against fire waste contains this strik-
ing statement: The cost of fire each
year is one-half the cost of all the
new buildings erected in a year"
lnasmuch as large percentage of all
fires are the result of negligence, it
will be seen readily, that we pay an
enormous price for being careless.
And the Fourth of July is not far
away.

The newspapers are full of breach
OF promise cases, where the disap-
pointed woman sues for a large sum
of money. Where a woman sues a
man for breach of promise it is
pretty good evidence that she was
intending to marrying him for his
money, and that II she can't get II
by marrying him she will some other
way.

THEY LIKE CAVE
AT WENATCHEE
Former Pullman Coach Is Making
Good at the Home of the
Big Red Apple

j. Cecil Cave, who for two years
coached the Pullman High School to
the football championship of the
county, has made a hit at Wenatchee.
according to the Wenatchee Daily
World, which published his photo
graph with the following compliment
tary notice
y. Cecil Cave. all-around athlete
and hale fellow we'll met, Wenat-
chee's 1912 football coach, is a pro-
tege of that Nebraska speed merch-
ant, Jshnny Bender, 1912 coach at
W. S. c. Cave began his football
career in the preparatory depart
ment at the State College On the
prep team of 1905 the slim
youngster shone with such brilliancy
that he came under the eye of Coach
Sweeley who took him in hand and
when Bender arrived in 1906, al
though Cave was too light to land a
regular varsity berth he was in
just the right condition for shaping
by the wiley hand of the later. coach.
He grew and improved until In 1907
he had little trouble In landing.
In 1909 he captained the Pullman
team through successful year and
in 1910 played his last game with
the school. During his four years
In college he held down nearly every
position on the baseball team. He
is fast, aggressive and a savage tack
Ter. He has always shown a good
head and is cool in a crisis but his
principal asset has ever been his ag-
gressiyeness.
In 1911 he piloted the Pullman
High school team to the Whitman
championship. He is a good clean
sportsman and an ideal example of
the later day athlete. His habits
have always been OF the best and the
matter of training has never been
al item with him, a fact which I'M
doubtedly preserved for him his
speed through four years OF gruelling
college football All hail to the new
coach"

huskies turned out for the first prac-
tice Monday afternoon and each day
the squad has increased until now
some 40 enthusiastic aspirants for
gridiron honors are reporting daily.
AS yet very few OF the veterans of
last year have donned the mole
skins, but a wealth of new material
has shown up. which looks good
enough to gladden. the heart of the
coach. So far aspirants for positions
back of the line are in the majority,
but enough big forwards have shown
up to give assurance of heavy line.
Among the new men Frank Goff,
the crack punter and tackle OF the
Colfax high school team, and Foster,
the star fullback of the Wenatchee

ing. but the real test will come when

find a good man for every position,
but shall have to work them mighty
hard to get them In shape for the
first game"
The coach says that he is
convinced that W. s. c. should and
can have winning football team.
He is determined that the little fac
tional disturbances which occasionly
threaten to destroy the effectiveness
of a strong team shall be entirely
eliminated. He is not here to work
for the interests of any particular or
ganization or group of individuals
and those who seek special privileges
from him will be sadly disappointed
He Is here 10 develop the best foot
ball team that he can, regardless of
whom the particular members on
that team may be. He is here to
work for the best interests OF the
whole group of students, for the in
stitution and all of its supporters.
The football candidate will find
Bender strict disciplinarian. a man
who means all that he says. But the
fellow who works, and with the right
spirit. will find 1t easy to get along
with him.
