altogether inadequate. In fact. our
system Of submitting proposed changes
in the organic law to the electorate
IS insufficient, because there IS no cor
rect and complete method by which
the people can be informed as to what
they are voting upon and what are the
arguments on both sides OF the issue to
be decided. Thousands Of voters yes
terday doubtless balloted upon the con-
stitutional amendments with the scant-
est possible knowledge OF what effect
the changes would have II passed and
what would be their effect II they were
rot passed: many others refrained from
voting altogether because they lacked
any information As to the amendments
In the election yesterday there ,ere
thousands Q: voters who were totally
uniformed Of ths Issues for their de-
cision'
The fact that more than ~ per cent
of the voters Of Virginia did not vote
or the three constitutional amendments
submitted for their ratification proves
the contention OF The Times-Dispatch
that a. to those issues too large a pro-
portion Of the electorate was uniform
gether by the misleading form Of the
ballot The contention OF The Times
Dispatch that q more Ineligible form
OF ballot for constitutional amend
tons Is established by the facts.

THE ENGINEERS ARBITRATION.

Inc aroltratiOE OF the wage dispute
between the Eastern railroads and
their engineers has aveTted what
threatened TO be a serious dislocation
OF business ard industry. While the
representatives OF the engineers are
evidently dissatisfied with the award
OF the board. 1t Is undoubtedly true
very generous when the case OF the
employees. as submitted by their repre-
ssntatives. is considered. In other
words, the general opinion OF students
Of transportation IL that the cause OF
the engineers was not forcibly put
forward, and that the board practically
had to secure its own data 10 make
an award IN their favor. The minimum
rates which have been applied by the
arbitrator will benefit only the classes
Of engine drivers. who are in the great
est need Of wage advances and who,

which have been badly managed or

GALLAUDET WORKING
TO DEFEAT M. A. c.
Kendall Greeners to Throw
Every Ounce of Strength
Against Farmers.

If Gallaudet has ever been represented
by a gridiron eleven that showed great
enthusiasm in a single game that eleven
is the one which has been fighting hero
ically for the Buff and Blue this year.
Every man on the team knows what the
annual game with NJ A. c., scheduled
for Saturday, will mean, and he is making
plans to throw every ounce of strength
in him against the Farmers.
The practices the squad has gone
through this week have been the hardest
of the entire season. Every ru6-
mentary element of the game has been
INDUCED in by every player. Coach
Crafts has spent many an hour in
strengthening the team in the one depart
ment in which a majority of the men
have been weak all season-tackling.
Special attention has been given to the
line. 1t showed reversal of form Sat
urday. when Washington College split it
at intervals, and the coaches have been
trying to do away with the weak spots.
The workout yesterday began with q
long scrimmage between the varsity and
the scrubs. No attempt was made by
either team to go to the poles for touch
downs. The varsity had the oval in its
possession during the first half of the
scrimmage and the scrubs had it in the
latter half The varsity showed marked
speed and dash on the offenSe. The line.
too, did much better work in holding
down the second string men.
long signal drill was the next order
Of work after the scrimmage. Time was
spent on the execution of plays which
will be used against the lads from Col
lege Park. Following the drill, the men
Were called TO the lyceum, where Coach
Crafts gave them blackboard instructions.
Practically tire same men that went up
against Washington College will face the
Farmers. 1t was first thought that Rock
we'll would be able to get into the
fray before the big battle, but the speedy
left ends ankle has not healed up as
yet, and there is no possibility of his
playing Saturday. Miller, too, has not
got into form since his injury, thus Civ
ing Rasmussen. the giant, another chance
to show his worth. The Sunday reports
show that Fullback jacobson would be
out of the game the rest of the season on
account of a concussion of the brain
were wholly untrue. The burly fellow
will be seen in the lineup Saturday.

GEORGETOWN COACHES
ARE NOT DISCOURAGED
Blue and Gray Figures Loss of
Men Will Not Greatly
Hamper Team.

BY no means are the coaches and all of
those connected with athletics at George
town discouraged over the hard luck
which the team has encountered since the
Indian game. In yesterdays workout
against Maryland Agricultural College
the men who were used against this
team showed to good advantage. On ac-
count of this showing both Coach Car
gan and Bennis believe that 1t will tahe
mighty good team to defeat George
town.
The loss of Derby, the crack end, Will
be keenly felt, and it is now up TO
Coaches Gargan and Bennis to pick
man to fill the vacancy left by Derby.
Both Martin and Donnelly have shown
sufficient ability to warrant being used
at this position In the game saturday
against Washington College their show
ing will be watched and the better man
picked. Both are fast and are hard to
box.
It is doubtful if Georgetown will be
weakened by the loss of Rheinchild at
left tackle. Dave White iS sure to be
heard from before the end of the season
At the present time he is in poor physical
shape and will need just a little rest be-
fore being worked in the big games.
For the other tackle Capt. Hegarty Will
surely start the Virginia game. but Hap
py Heiskell, because of his showing yes
terday may be brought into the game
Heiskell showed up we'll in the scrim-
mage yesterday, and he is going to re-
ceive individual attention from now on.
