There is no football being played

Tenn, by decision Of the faculties OF
these two schools, because the young
men have openly and flagrantly bet
and gambled on the results of the
games. This is to be regretted. Ath-
letics, in all its legitimate forms, is
necessity, especially in American
school life. OF itself the sport is
not bad. 1t does see to us that
plans could have been devised and a
compelling moral crusade carried on
to eliminate these bad practices.

sport was abolished without an effort
first having been made to suppress
the evils attendant upon 1t, the I'M
preston may go abroad that the
course decided on is an acknowledg-
ment of weakness on the part of the
powers who refrained from attempt
ing to regulate instead of abolishing.

Ladies living away from Chicago
should think twice before allowing
their husbands to take them there
to live. In Chicago, husbands like
riches, frequently take wings and fly
away-or they get away somehow.
! met number of women who had
been deserted by their husbands in
a very short time after they had
reached that city. Wife desertion in
Chicago surpasses that in any other
city. OF course when these run away
husbands are caught they are impris-
oned, and are paroled only on promise
that they will support their families.
Often the courts collect the money
from the employer of a paroled hus-
band and pay it over to the deserted
families. Last year the courts there
collected and paid out $4,000. But
by reason of lack Of prominence the
colored brother, bent on 6eserting his
family, finds it easy to make his get
away. And he is rarely ever found,
and never returns, although he may
be having a high old time just around
the corner in another block. And
then the whites have an elective
method of discovering the wanderer
turn home. They advertise for him
in the daily papers, especially in the
Sunday editions His children write
touching letters begging him, if alive,
to return. These letters, often ac-
companied by the children's pictures,
are printed in the papers. In many
instances the man finds that there is
only one of two things to do. either
return home or get off the earth.
Concealment in the white light of such
publicity is out of the question. But
such a weapon as this would prove
non-effective in the case of nine-tenths
of the absconding colored brothers.
Hence their families spend the weary
years in silent suffering looking as do
shipwrecked sailors for sail which
they know will never return.
One woman ran a little lunch coun-
ter near the place where the league
met. She was trying to make money
enough to get back home down in
Dixie She said that when they NOV
ed there from the far south, the hus-
band soon became fast, the town was
fast, and the two had left her strand
ed and far away from home. The
husband had never been seen since he
left, pretending to be going to his
job Hundreds of them never come
back" Another woman was running
a shoe shining stand. and while she
polished my shoes she told me her
1liad of woes-husband had been zone
for years, leaving her to bring up and
support the children who In a few
years had also disappeared. There
fore. gentle reader, before you move
to Chicago, with your husband, see to
it that you have his adoption tried,
and that you have his heart attached

is regarded as a species of criminal
madness.-"Old Hickory"

A flag for the negro race has been
designed by Bishop j. Lennox OF the
Zion African Evangelical church.
Flags represent nations, not races.
1t is all nonsense to try to have the
negro race adopt a specially designed
flag. The only flag the American ne
gro can lay just claim to is the Stars
and Stripes. Negroes have volun-

The Proof That Jesus Lived

close or change their name. the
name Of Jesus would take its place
beside the name of William Ten.
The life that has been the light 81
thu world would be like the lamps
one sees in museums which no one
ever uses. Men and women do nor
go on loving a shape and dream
as when they believed 1t flesh AN
blood. A name and nothing else Is
not long a sufficient bond of loyalty
ana de. otion. We can see that TINS
Is so wherever there are approxima'
tons t. this attitude. ORGANIZATIONS

which would be the same II Jesus

carry out literally the doctrine OF
Emerson's saying. that the soul knows
no persons, few souls take any In

church which IL so much as sup
posed to be Indifferent TO the per-
sonal leadership OF the man whose
teaching gave IT birth suffers from
the suspicion; and. II 1t allows the
supposition any ground and gets into
any habit of ignoring the greatest
fact In human history, IL marches IL
it's death.
There is, it Is true, construction
in the sources of our assurance that
Jesus lived. The construction may be
seen interviewer with the accounts OF
his life. What emerges as actual hu-
mainly from the mixture OF recollec-
ton and Imagination varies with diff
ferent views. Common sense does
| not adopt the common view without
discrimination, and judgment. But
common sense has something to say
which makes up a body of evidence
of no slight worth. The figure OF
Jesus is no uncertain thing to the
reader of the first three Gospels. II
Is consistent and holds together with
a life that no invention or imasina-
ton or more vestige could account
for There are touches that betoken
a real home, real teacher. real

we had nothing but his parallels. we
should have to believe that they were
the product OF an original mind.
There Is In every one OF them, az
Julicher says, a kernel that shows the
man behind them. .
Scholarship Is quite adequate to the
problem raised in the name OF schol-
arship. and We may feel quite SAFE
to let scholarship dispose OF tne latest

complacency push this latest fash

who do not wish To struggle through
controversy may rest back on the ir-
rcfragabIe testimony Of centuries of
confirmation and countless verified

across the ages. And the acceptance
OF that manhood as the highest type
of character within human reach. by

lived which the jury of the human
race win pronounce upon with no UNI

Divorce Debate Aroused In Britain.
The Christian people OF Great Bril-
tain have a new theme of pungent
discussion in a report just made pub
lie from the royal commission on di-
vorce which has been Investigating
this subject for several years. The
division in public sentiment over the
findings only reflects the division OF
opinion In the commission Itself.
On many points indeed the COM
missioners are unanimous. They are
a unit In recommending that the
power to grant divorces should be
lodged In local courts and not re-
served as now for single court in
London, where It Is great trouble and
expense for litigants from distant
parts OF the kingdom TO attend. All OF
them agree likewise in approving a
stringent regulation which would give
the judge in any divorce proceeding
the right to hear evidence and rem
der his opinion strictly In private, and
would also restrict rfg.idly the de-
tails OF such cases that newspapers
might print. The general principle
that conditions OF divorce should be

SEEKS PRISON TO
REGAIN HIS HEALTH

Canon City, Colo.--That one of the
convicts serving a term in the Colo
RADIO state prison here pleaded gull
ty to the charge against him solely to
get the benefit of the prison treat
ment for consumption, was made
known here through an admission by
the prisoner himself.
Albert Blunt, age 23, victim of
tuberculosis, who was utterly desti-
tUte and suspected of burglary at
Grand Junction, declares he confessed
crime he did not commit in order
to enter the penitentiary, where he
would have chance to effect a cure.
He says he was dying of the dis
ease in the Jail at Grand Junction,
and decided that his only means of
regaining his health was to secure his
conviction of the crime of which he
was suspected and he be sent to the
penitentiary.
That he did well there is no deny
ing, for since he entered the peni-
tentiary last May he has gained 15
pounds.
MY sentence in the penitentiary is
from two to three years." said Blunt
"and / hope at the end of that time
will be able to go out in the world
