GETTING OVER THE GAME.

Missouri met Kansas at football
Saturday and won by majority OF
three points. In Kansas City and
in Columbia Saturday night there
was great rejoicing.
Saturday night is more than
twenty-four hours away. Today is
Monday. The same students who
we're wild with joy after the game
are calm and quiet and back at
work today.
This day is not a day for vocal
rejoicing. That time is past. This
rather is a day for dedication.
Let us here highly resolve that
we will forget about the little trou-
bic with Kansas. Let us file away
in the pigeon-holes of our memoir
les those humiliating first five
minutes of the game; the plucky
turning of the Tigers; the uphill, te-
dious. dragging work to the goal
line: the plunge that tied the score;
.he kick that won; the awful,
prayerful suspense the last five
minutes; the closing whistle, and
finally the rejoicing that followed.
Let us show that we are good
winners, as we have been good los
ers time and again in the past. Let
us forget the game. Let us cease
to talk it over and fight it out again.
Instead, let us plunge into work
as the Tigers plunged into the Kan
sas line, fighting tenaciously for
the inches that meant a victory.
The 1914 football season is past. 4
Pretty near time to begin planning
'or 1915, isn't it?

The Literary Trawler
Two of the Old School.

He smiled with that well-bred
cynicism which a new school has
not yet succeeded in initiating.
They were of the old school, these
two: and their worldliness, their
synicism, their conversational atti-
tude, belonged to a bygone period.
1t was a cleaner period in some
ways-a period devoid of slurns.
Ours, on the contrary, is an age
of slums wherein we all dabbled to
the detriment of our hands-mental,
literary and theological. His back
was very fiat, his clothes were per-
feet, his hair was not his own. But
his manners were entirely his own.
His face was 80 years old, and yet
he smiled his keen society smile
with the best of them. There was
young man in the room of whom
he was afraid, conversationally.
One sees a veteran swordsman take
up the foil, with tentative turn of
the wrist, lunging at thin air. His
zest for the game has gone: but the
skill still fingers, and at times he
is tempted to show the younger
blades a pass or two. These were
veteran fencers with skill of their
own. which they loved to display at
times. The zest was that of re-
remembrance; the sword play of
words was above the head of
younger generation given to slang
and music-hall airs From a novel
by II. S. Merriman.

the fields, il cultivated, would pro-
duce s24O,OOO,O00 worth of potash
annually.
Recent legislation has given ac-
cess to the coal fields in this terri
tory and provision has also been
made for government railroads. For
rapid development it will be neces-
sary that wagon roads be con-
structed as feeders for the rail-
roads.
Alaska has long been hampered
by adverse legislation and corpor-
alton interests. The railroads will
be followed by an influx of people
eager to build up the territory. Re-
sources which have lain dormant
through inaccessibility will be in
reach of world markets.
1t will be interesting to keep an
eye on the outcome of this chance
for expansion of our northernmost
possession.

FORBEs.ROBERTsON, OPTIMIsT.

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson
played in st. Louis and Kansas City
a repertoire which included two
performances of Hamlet His visit
to these cities is part of the farewell
tour he is making after forty years
of successful acting in which he
has attained the highest pinnacle
of his art and created Hamlet that
ranks with the best of all times.
And he is retiring from the stage
while his powers are at their full.
Playgoers have often lamented
that the days of Macready, Booth
and Irving are past, and they may
look upon s-Robertson's re-
tirement as the end OF. the great
actors, the beginning of the end
of the best drama. Forbes-Robert-
son himself says not, but holds that
the theater is advancing.
The stage today is, on the whole
vastly better than it was half
century ago. he says. The acting is
better, and while the great stars
are gone, others just as great will
come in the future. In the mean
time the actors of minor parts are
much stronger than ever before,
a fact which results in more unified
and better balanced presentations
of plays. The modern dramas are
worthier in subject, better written
and better staged than those of one
and two generations ago. Further
more, the public's attitude has
broadened and become more under |
standing. AS regards Shakespear-
ian performances, Forbes-Robert-
son sees no reason to be downcast
because the masses do not clamor
for them. The classics can be fully
only by the few, but,
according to his own experience,
that few is growing in number. The
moving picture and the music hall
have justified place in the worlds
he believes, and can
never drive out the spoken drama.
All this from the man who leads
his profession means much. To /;
see the stage lose this refined, in
elligent, spiritual actor, is in it
self discouraging, out he leaves be-
hind him hopeful look into a most
future.

GIVING ALASKA A CHANCE.

Let us give our minds vacation
from war talk, football scores, re-
serve banks and home affairs and
consider for a time distant Unit
ed States possession. Alaska has
startling information regarding fu-
ture development that is worthy
Of consideration.
The recent report of its governor,
J. F. A. Strong, compares Alaska
with Finland, both having identical
climatic conditions and lying in ap-
proximately the same latitude. Fin
land is one-fourth the size of Alas
IA and is highly developed.
Governor Strong points out that
Alaska is much the richer in nat
ural resources. Its population,
wealth and material prosperity may
De developed far beyond conditions
IN Finland.
Look over these Finland figures
for 1912. 1t had 3,OS4,62S head of
live stock; 2,444 miles of railway;
harvested S62,62S tons of small
grain; made 1927 tons of butter,
and produced 2,5a1,524 thousand
ieet of lumber.
Flattering as these figures are,
prospects in Alaska are as alluring.
There are 5O,OOO,OOO acres of land
in Alaska suitable for agriculture.
Other millions are adapted to cat
lie raising. In the southeast and
southwest are extensive tracts of
choice timber.
Alaska is one of the world lead
srs In gold output. A large variety
)f other minerals, some of them
-are. are found there. In 1913.
Alaska's mineral output reached
s1e 40 O326
For years Alaskan fisheries have
oeen the victim of government neg
lect. Without money to provide
Jaw enforcement. violations are
common and there is much waste
n handling the fish. Last year 21,-
f2l persons engaged in the indus
Try, which represents an invest
nent of sS7,O47,SO5.
Another industry which promises
immense returns is kelp harvesting
n the coastal waters. Two crops a
iear may be gathered. From kelp
potash for fertilizer is made and

IS supply from Germany. The gov
,rnor believes Alaska can take over

FAT TURKEYS ASSURED
Inele Sam Protecting Eaters of
Thanksgiving Fowl.
BY United Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Uncle
Sam. through the Department of
Agriculture. today is taking every
precaution to insure fresh fat tur-
keys for Thanksgiving. One step
was to send an expert with the
first train load now enroute from
Morristown, Tenn, to New York.
The other was to warn every raiser
of turkeys how to kill, clean and
pack the fowl for market. Last
Thanksgiving thousands of turkeys
spoiled because of the poor hand
ling by farmers and shippers. In
several cities commission mer-
chants were ruined and farmers
suffered great losses.

VOTERS WHO THINK

NUIEhS NHU IHINh
Complete returns on the vote oil
the fifteen proposed amendment
at the recent election in this state
show that all fifteen of them were
showed under by adverse majorities
of from 10000 to 301,956. Amend
ment No. Z, which proposed to pen
sion the deserving blind. lost by a
smaller margin than any of the
others. Its humanitarian purposes
seemed to appeal to every voter
that took the trouble to think about
the amendment at all. Amendments
No. 4, No. 6, No. IA and No. Is were
all defeated by more than 100000
votes.
Most interest centered around
the proposed amendment to grant
suffrage to the women of Missouri.
The majority against equal suffrage
was 14O,2OS. Only two of the pro-
positions Jared better, the amend
ment to pension the blind and the
county unit law. Thirteen coun-
ties turned in majorities for equal
suffrage. Most of the counties in
the southeastern corner of the state
favored equal suffrage; most of the
others that voted for the measure
are in the northwest part of Mis-
souri,.
The county unit bill, passed by
the legislature and held up by the
referendum, Jared second best in
the list of proposed amendments.
The majority against it was ap-
pI oximately 13S,000 Twenty-six
counties voted for it's adoption.
Again the southeastern counties
appear on the yes" side. Nearly
every one of these counties voted
favorably on both women's suf-
frage and the county unit PROPOSE
ton. This is taken to indicate that
the voters in that section at least
went to the trouble of considering
both sides of the proposed amend
ments. In many counties not a
single one of the propositions car
ried, showing that in these counties
the voters were doing a lot of
thoughtless scratching.
The vote of the City of st. Louis,
while it did not turn the tide
against any of the proposed laws,
helped roll up the enormous ma
jorities against some of the meas
ures. st. Louis voted overwhel-
mingly against every one of the
propositions. Half of the adverse
majority against the county unit
law was registered in st. Louis.
On the whole the showing made
by the voters of Missouri in this
election is discouraging. On the
face of the returns it appears that
until the people of this state make
a great advance in political wisdom
or political interest, the fate of all
proposed amendments will be the
same as that suffered by the amend
ments in this election. Thoughtless
scratching killed the proposed
to pension the deserv-
ing blind against the wishes of the
people of Missouri. Any one of the
might have Jared bet
ter had the voters had a chance to
consider that measure apart from
the mass of confusing printing con-
tanned by the amendment ballots.
Which brings us to another phase |
of the recent election. One of two |
reforms must be made in our elec-
ton laws before the initiative and /
referendum can be of any use to

Company Of State
Militia in Lakeland

At various times the organization
of a military company in Lakeland
has been discussed and it now seems
that the time is ripe for such
movement. Mr.. B. H. Belisaris mas
taken the matter up with Adjutant
General Foster and mas secured au-
thority to take the preliminary
steps towards organizing a company

A meeting Of all who are interest
ca in this matter is called for Mon.
day evening, next, at 1880 O'Clock at
the City Hall.
There is at this time opportunity
for the enrolment of one more COM
pany of the State troops, and only
one, and as other towns are consid-
ering such an organization, the ne.
cessity for prompt action is appar-
ent.
A military company would be a
fine thing for the city and the
young men composing it, and the
Telegram hopes to see it organized.

can never again be panic in this
country in which the money will be

frightened out of their wits and the
commerce and industries of the land

the dogs because an unreasoning
scare had withdrawn the necessary
money from circulation and every
