AUBURN WELL CONDITIONED
 FOR SATURDAYS CONTEST

at end; the two guard positions left open by Bonner and Allen have been tiled by Thigpen at left guard, and Burns and Lockwood the most promising of the can- didates at right guard, with Rip Major shifted to quarter and Newell .to half back. Auburn has faster back field than last year, although not as heavy. Newell has done good work this year, his ability to carry the pgskin through a broken field has resulted in tne gain of many yards by the Tigers.
 Coach Donahue has nad tho assistance of Dan Martin ef Birmingham, and Daddy Locke of Montgomery for the past few days and their presence on the field has been of material value to both the players and coaches. The spirit they have shown has also given the students renewed interest in the game and a larger number than usual are out every afternoon to witness the practice. The scrimmages this week have been hard and long, both offensive and defensive work having equal prbminence in the aft ernoons work.
 The Auburn team leaves for Birmng- ham Friday evening. The line up will be prao aotlcally the same as used last week.

ALABAMA WELL CONDITIONED
 FOR CONTEST WITH GEORGIA

within the last five minutes of play. Coach Graves is satisfied with the play ing of the team in that game, and realizes that had the field been dry the score might have been different, as Alabama 8 offensiveness was of no avail on d muddy field confronting a heavier team. The backfed is running smoothly and the team work has improved very much dur ing the past week. Wikerson is free from injuries, which impeded his speed during the earlier part-of the season, and should prove a valuable gainer. The rest of the team is in fine condition and should make stiff fight in the Georgia game The team leaves here Friday morning for Birmingham. from whence they go to Columbus. The probable line up will be as follows:
 Right end. Jones; right tackle. vande Graaff, w.; center. Riddle or Manning; left guard, Hamilton or Love; left tackle, Barnes and Boxman; left end, Wilkerson and Long; right half. NcDowell full back, vande Graaff. A. and Bates; left half, vande Graaff, IT.; quarter, Joplin or Nathan.

Nashville, October 24-(Special )-After taking stock of the Georgia game it be- gins to appear that Vanderbilt has team this year that is surprising everybody. Vanderbilt included. Every year it is the regular lament of the Commodore follow CTS that the team cannot possibly be as good as last years, but generally speak ing the team Is about the same and usual ly just little better. That was the case this year. Losing Ray Morrison, Big In" Freeland and Frog Metzger all American and all southern stars, would be a terrific setback to any team, but the present indications are that McGugin has successfully filled their places and that by the end of the season, at least the team will be superior to that of last year.
 Bud Morgan played center both years. In 1911 he weighed 23O and this season he has trained down to 210. With the weight reduction has come corresponding in crease in playing power
 Guards Are Weaker
 At guards there Is no question that the team is weaker than last season. Frog Metzger was guard of the class that Is found rarely in the south, and no man has been found to All his place. How ever, from Covington. Swofford and Dawes, MeGugin will pick pair that will average up close to the pair of last year
 Remarkable as 1t may sound, Vauder- bilt has found a man to All Big Un' F'reeland's shoes. His name is Shipp. He Is better man that Freeland physically, baa 1riay n1ter and faster. He lacks lFreeland's experience and cleverness at diagnosing the plays of the opposition, but today he is practically as good a tackle as Freeland.

to produce saiable fruit due to

Now II to the above we add the
fact proven by experiment, that
spraying increases the yield of
merchantable fruit an average of
2 to 3 bushels per tree In orchards
10 to 20 years old, also the extra
cost OF picking and sorting where

Marsh ll's Predicament

Judge William c. Marshall, at
torssy for Cant, Timmonds and
Gass. the Democratic contestants
who were defeated tn 1910, was Tor
several years a member OF the
Missouri Supreme Court. He re-
signed before the end Of his term.
He wls on the bench during the
period whe1 Supreme Court de-
cisioons hinged upon t~echnicaiities
more than upon law ana facts. He
learned there the potency OF mere
teohnicalities.
When this smart lawyer Jiseov-
cred that no proof OF fraud in the
st. Louis election of 1910 could pos
sibly be found he iell hack on mere
te.haicaiities as the basis OF his
contention that the Republican OPP
ponents OF his clients were not le-
gally elected. He tried TO show thit
about $500 Republican, voters
whose ballots had been counted for
the Republican, c~ontestees were
not legally registered and that
their votes ought 10 be thrown out
by the Supreme Court. When
thess voters came forward by the
hundreds and exhibited valid ns-
turalizatioa papers Marshall was
placed In a bad prcdicament. II
AL thea that n happy thought
struck him. He challenged the
authority OF many OF the courtsto
issue such papers. contending that
more than twenty courts 10 differ
ent Parts OF the United States,
which hal for generation been
issueing naturalization papers un-
der their official seals, as provided
by ian act OF congress-, never had
the right to naturalize foreign
born citizen. Among the courts
thus challenged was the st. Louis
Court OF Appeals and the district
courts OF the State; the Circuit
Court OF st. Louis, when trying
criminal cases; the st. Louis Grim
inal Court, the Court OF Criminal
Correction, and all courts OF COM
nor pleas. II his contention Is
right all OF the many foreign born
citizens who were naturalized by
such courts prior to the recent
changes made in the n~aturaliz ition
laws ara not legal voters and
never have been, and all persons
who may have been heretofore
convicted under naturalization
laws OF crime In applying for or
obtaining naturalization papers
from such courts are entitled to
their liberty II imprisoned.
This far = fetched contention
seems like the act OF drowning
man grasping a straw, but Judge
Marshall may feel that II Is a tech
nicality as strong at least as that
on which his chief client, Judge
CAN'T, relied when he reversed a
celebrated criminal case because
the indictment read against the
peace and dignity OF State" in
stead of "the peace and dignity OF
the State.n
Judge Marshall will probably
conclude HIS laborious efforts to
snake a case" before the month

THE LONG AND SHORT
 TERMS IN U S. SENATE

PHOENIX-If, as many surmised, it was the purpose of the republican ma jority in congress to arrange matters in connection with the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, so that the New Mexican United States senators should get the long term that purpose will not likely be carried out.
 Unless there should be deadlock in the New Mexican legislature the senators from that state would be chosen before it would be possible for the legislature of Arizona to ratify the advisory vote for senators. That can not be done before the second Tues day after the organization of the leg iSlature.
 But that will not result in an un- fair distribution of the senatorships between Arizona and New Mexico if a resolution prepared by Senator Shiv- ely of Indiana is adopted as it un- doubtedly will be.
 Two of the senatorial terms will expire in 1917, one in 1915 and one in 1913 The Shively resolution con- templates the giving of one of the long terms to each of the new states not merely in the interest of fairness but for the preservation of the prac- tices in all the states of electing only one senator at time. If New Mexico should get both the long terms therafter all elections for senators in that state would result in the choice of two members at the same time.
 Under the Shively resolution the first two senators who present them selves will be required to draw from hat two tickets, one of them blank and the other entitling the holder to long term. The same process will be employed when the next two new l senators appear.

Protection of Children

The constitutional provision for the treatment of juvenile delinquents is ap plauded and the powers of Superior Court judges should be clearly defined in this connection. A change in the location of the state industrial school is recommended and thorough change in methods of it's conduct. The provisions of the child labor law are defined and recommendations made to adopt the form advocated by the na- tional child labor committee of New York City.
 An old age pension bill is desired for both sexes.
 Bonding of Officials.
 Surety company bonds ample in am- ount should be required of all state officials whose duties call for any bond or surety, the state to pay the premium.
 Labor Legislation.
 To render effective, by wise leg1s- lation, the constitutional mandates framed, to protect the rights of labor should be one of this legislature most seriously approached undertak. ingS These mandates, as I intepret them, were drawn in an earnest desire to do justice not only to those who earn their bread by daily toll, but as we'll to those whose capital, energy and talents, find avenues and markets for the nations brawn and skill and inventive genius. In this spirit they should be observed and obeyed and labor code drafted having for it's mot | to that democratic amOnit1on "equa rights for all; special privileges fol none"
