But now that he is out OF the game,
McGugin must go about his forlorn hope.
plugging up or rather trying to plug up,
the gaping hole left vacant. Huffman has
ben shifted to Browns place, while
Askew and Putnam are being drilled as
guard. Boonsch, by his miserable show
ing Saturday, was dropped, and Zach
Curtin put into the breach. Chester will
probably do the punting hereafter, as he
is almost as good as Beensch in that par
ticular. Curtin carries with him one of
the coolest heads evers fitted on top of
moleslSins, and now that his chance has
come he will fight like tartar to make
good. His marvellous drop kicking will be
a big factor in pilng up scores for the
commodores, for he packs punch in his
toe which seldom In pinch fails to
drive the oval between the uprights. One
other thing, he will hardly make the fool
ish mistakes in his selection of plays as
did Boensch, who even after his team
had gotten off side repeated the same
signals, only to find the Michigan de-
fense all set to break it up.
With the desperate situation having
grown even more desperate, McGugin
forced the men through a terrific pace
over the field, which was better htted Tor
"a practice than for gridiron workouts.
Long after the city nghts hau pene 1T thS
varsity continued the grind, aided py
the electric lights strung about Dudley
Field With the exception of Tom Brown,
all the men came out of the Michigan
battle in great shape, and they were
not allowed to stop minute. One thing
that helps Vanderbilt is the fact that they
did not uncover a single trick or rake
Nrmation, and all the forward passes
attempted were simple, SO that the Vlr-
ginia scouts who were in the crowd went
home with little or no dope OF any
value, except the bare fact that the Com
modores have a second rate team. NC
Gugin, realizing after the first naif that
the eleven was hopelessly beaten, oroele leu

straight football or simple passes, in or

The bait would be temptingly displayed

fabulous sums to carry out their ends.
Now, are you so certain?
Local representative government is
the foundation upon which the struc-
ture of state and union is built. You
cannot weaken the foundation without
endangering the structure.
We must rigidly adhere to the prin-
ciple of representative government.
Any small advantages that may be
promised to result, or that may even
result, from centralized government,
must be considered as sop" and must
be rejected as all such advantages
could not possibly offset the damage
which must come to the people in the

Washington is greatly agitated by the

Baptist Layrnen
at Chattanooga.

The large attendance and the great
enthusiasm attendant on the meeting
OF the laymen of the Baptist church
at Chattanooga recently is significant.
It shows the trend of modern thought
and ideas OF reform work The work
Of church extension and the spread of
Christianity was formerly left largely
to the efforts of the clergy, but the
Iaymen and the business men in all the
denominations have now taken these
matters in charge.
1t is the same in all other fields Of
human endeavor. The laymen are be-
ginning to work and are not delegating
wholly this duty to a chosen few.
This is particularly true In political
and governmental affairs, where the
people have started out to perform the
duties that demand attention. This is
the day Of the layman.

More Horses and Mules
Than Ever.

Contrary to prediction, the general
use OF automobiles has not caused any
decline in the horse and mule industry
and there are more of these work ami
mails now than ever before and their
prices are higher than ever before in
the United States, except during 1911.
The number of horses and mules has
been largely increased over the pre-
ceding year according to the report of
the department Of agriculture.
In this connection the advice Of Sec
retary James Wilson to the southern
farmers at Columbia is timely. Mr..
Wilson said one Of the greatest needs
Of the South was the growing of more
forage crops and the raising OF more
nve stock This is being done all over

secretary of state.
The question comes up at this time
because of the suffrage parade. When
Miss Milholland was chosen to lead
the great pageant one of the reasons
given for the appointment was that
she is the most beautiful woman In the
suffrage movement. The announce
ment raised considerable storm
Forth came the friends of other suf-
fraget beauties. with glowing descrip-
tions of their favorites.
Miss Milholland is Of the college
type. She has superb eyes, well car
ried head and clear cut features. She
is a large woman and looks the part
Of an athlete.
Mrs. Wilson has long, been known as

one Of the prettiest women in Wash

oriental cast, heavy with dark fringes,
and ivory white complexion. She has
regular features, a. dimple chin and
soft, wavy dark hair.
Miss Hinckley has pink and white
complexion, masses of light hair, and
a classic profile.
These three wonderland many others
of striking beauty-will take part in
what probably will be the most famous
beauty contest in the history of the
country. Thousands upon thousands
of persons from every section Of the
