Courtney exclaims at the idea of
Cornell having some 81 contests
scheduled for the year in the various
forms of undergraduate activities.
Again ask what of it?
He loses sight of the fact that
Cornell has something like 5000
Students. And he loses sight of the
fact that those 81 contests are spread
out over nearly 90 different kinds
Of sport. There are, besides the
major sports of baseball, football,
track athletics and rowing, a whole
slather of minor sports and teams
and contests-such as basketball,
hockey. swimming, water polo, ten
mis- cross country. shooting, chess,
wrestling and golf in big univer-
Sity Ike Cornell. And some have
lacrosse soccer football, polo and
gymnastic team contests, and good
ness only knows what all else. Now
when YOU come to parcel 81 games
out among all these, where does the
abuse come in?
Consider, for a moment. what
would have to be the size of city
that could produce some 5000 fairly
normal, healthy young men between
the ages of, say II to IS, all of whom
had sufficient means to go to col
ege. The total population of such
a city would fall not far short Of
2OO0O0 | venture to say. Would any
one think it a strange madness that
should possess the people of city
OF that size to learn that there were
to take place within one year some
n contests, engaged in by this, that
and the other kind of athletic team
drawn from that city? All, or near
y all, such games and contests
would have to be carried on by the
particular 5000 able-bodied young
men that are able to represent that
city in such sports.

BRAVES SHUT
OUT ATHLETICS

Encouraged by their brilliant and
well-earned victory Of yesterday, the
Boston Braves entered the game at
Philadelphia today, determined to
step one more notch nearer the high
est mark in the realm of baseball,
the worlds championship. Stallings
depended upon James, one of his
wonderful trio of twirlers, and the
leading pitcher of the National
league, to win the second game of the
series, while Connie Mack pinned his
faith on Plank, one Of the grand old
men Of present baseball. Neither
scored for eight innings, and for nine
rounds the game progressed in real
championship style and then Boston
was successful in scoring. Gowdy,
the man whose terrific hitting feat
ured in the Braves victory Of yes
terday, was behind the mask for Bos-
ton today, while Schang, the Athletic
star, caught the curves Of Plank.

PLEAS OF GUILTY
Judge Stanton Sentences Youths Who
Confess to Stealing Of Clothing
to Sixty Day Jail Terms.
TWO OTHERS ALSO ARRAIGNED

Graham M. Torrance, county at
torney, yesterday afternoon moved
the arraignment of the three young
men who were last week bound over
to the grand jury on charge of hay-
ing stolen suit of clothes from the
Great, Northern hotel The suit was
later sold for 81.
s Each boy, James Mulligan; %,
Ralph George, IS, and George Bur
well, 10, explained his connection
with the crime to Judge Stanton, and
after a short talk in which he! eau
toned them of future crimes, they
were given terms of sixty days in the
county jail. Judge H. "A. Simons ap-
peared for the young defendants.
This afternoon Tom Carr and Char
lie Mix were to be arraigned on
charge Of having robbed Mike Wester-
bout Of watch and a railroad ticket
to Federal Dam, a crime which was
committed in a local saloon a week
ago yesterday.
John Jacobs pleaded guilty to the
same charge Thursday, explaining
that he did not take the ticket from
the man robbed, but merely picked it
up from the floor.
Thus six men have been arrested
for crimes in Bemidji during the past
two weeks and four have thought
best to plead guilty, rather than to
await the February term of court
and at that time. giving jury OPP
portunity to decide their guilt or in
nocence.

waraeld Electric Company to Extend
Lines to Head Of Lake Summer
Resort in Spring.
MANY COTTAGES TO BENEFIT

That the many Layinia summer re-

Warfeld Electric company Of Bemidji
has announced that an extension of
the power lines to the head of the
lake popular outing place will be
made early next spring.
The chief reason for the delay in
placing the wires to Lavinia has been
the road conditions. The new road,
however, will soon be open to travel.
There are large numbered an
nual summer cutters who will benefit
by the extending of the wires and
the service will be greatly appreci-
ated by residents of Lavinia In ad-
dition there are several houses which
are occupied the year round.
Much improving at Lavinia is to
be done during the coming year by
Thomas Roycraft, general manager
Of the Grand Forks street railway
company, who has just completed the
purchase of Lot G at the resort. This
includes five acres of the finest land
at Lavinia. 1t is Mr.. Roycraft's in
tention to plant much of the tract
to orchard, and he will build several
cottages for rent. He now has a
residence, suitable for summer and
winter use, and three cottages.

Loudest to Protest.
If all profit is taken out of war
and preparation for war, I predict
that some of the very millionaire
patriots who are now agitating for
an ever and ever increased amount of
armament, in the certain knowledge
they will make huge profits by sup

to protest against the annual !ex-

have called the attention of con-
gress to the fact that at the Rock
Island arsenal the government has
two great 100000 stone buildings
standing idle which could be used for
manufacturing purposes and also alb
solutely free power as a result of the
fact that the government owns a
great power plant in the Mississippi
at Rock Island arsenal and can
manufacture these war materials
cheaper there than at any other ar
senal in the United States.
/ am also carrying on plan to
have the government locate the pro-
posed $7OOO,00O government armor-
plate factory at Rock Island, where
the government owns 500 acres OF
land ideally located for such pur-
pose, without having to buy land fol
a site elsewhere. l am carrying on
campaign to acquaint members OF
congress with the fact that the Unit
ed States government has a fa1
greater prize than it realizes in the
Rock Island arsenal property, where
it can do its manufacturing cheaper
than when the government adopts
the policy of manufacturing all its
munitions of war, as it is certain tC
do ultimately, that the Rock Island
arsenal will become one of the larg.
est military manufacturing centers
in the world.

$240, O00,000 Annually.
Now as to the campaign to require
government manufacture of muni-
tions of war, which policy will ulti-
-Mately bring much addttfunaf work
to the Rock Island arsenal The
government appropriates in round
numbers $10O,OO0,OOO annually for
the army and $4,000, 900 annually
for the navy, and colossal sums are
expended annually with ring Of
private manufacturers for war ma
terials. I have produced mass Of
evidence before congress proving be-
yond successful contradiction that
the army and navy officers have been
permitting this ring to outrageously
overcharge the government
For instance, have directed at
tention to the fact that army officers
have been very generously paying
the munition ring $500 for 3-inch
finished shrapnel case which Uncle
Sam can manufacture and is manu-
featuring in the government arsen-
ais for $1.75.
How to Save.
The army officers are paying the
munition ring $17.50 for a 3.S-inch
common shrapnel which they can
manufacture and are manufacturing
in the government arsenals for 1874.
When it is considered that the gov
ernment is each year procuring mil
lions of dollars worth of such sup
plies, it will be seen that the saw
ing that can be effected to the tax
payers by a complete government
manufacture of all munitions of war
is something enormous.
This policy was entered upon in
the army bill this year, this measure
for the first time in the history OF
the government carrying a provision
specifying that not to exceed 10 per
cent of the ammunition therein ap-
propriated for may be purchased
from outside private manufacturers
Ninety per cent of the appropriations
must hereafter be expended for the
manufacture of the supplies in the
government arsenals. AS result OF
this policy the government will save
GIN average 35 per cent, or millions
eff dollars annually, and the men who
do the actual work of making the
munitions will receive higher wages
and better conditions than if the
