games. Chief on the program on the
central west is the Chicago-Purdue
struggle at Chicago and the Minne-
sota-Iowa game at Iowa City.
These contests will have important
bearing on the Big Mine champion
ship race. Although two OF the teams
have been defeated the importance
hinges on the fact that it will be pos
sible for the followers Of western
conference football to draw some
comparison among three of the
teams which are striving for cham
pionship honors-ChicagO, Minnesota

eILLRoARp REeuLATtoN.

Few are the cities which haven't given more or less consideration to the unsigl1t1y bilIboards and devoted much thought to methods for remov- ing or improving them. While it has not accomplished their elimination it has. brought about a noticeable change in appearance and construction indi- eating the disposition to heed the pulp lie demand to some degree if not sub- init to the Wiping out of such broadsides of disfigurement
 Some localities have made better progress than others possibly because of the manner in which the problem was attacked or because of a. greater willingness by the billboard owners to meet the demands. Tn Illinois the mat ter has found it's way to the supreme court of the state where an ordinance of the city of Chicago was upheld in which the property owners in residen- tial sections were given the right to deny existence of unsightly bilfboards.
 Such of course does not bar the bill boards from those sections unless it is the desire of the people, but it gives to those who suffer the most from such structures a chance to pass upon the question. There can be no set- ting up of billboards to mar the sur roundinrs and depreeiate property values unless those who are to be di- rectly affected agree to it. It gives the people the chance to prevnt viola- tions of the sense of proprietv and beauty which previously received lit tie thought from the man back of the signboard. and in such a local option privilege there should be full appre- citation. It is 8 good suggestion for many other cities.

vENEzuELA,s SUGGESTION.

After all the trouble that the South American countries have experienced and after all the disregard that has been manifested for the existing in- ternational laws during war. 1t is only natural that there should be such a proposition as is made by Venezuela that there be a conference of nations for the purpose of straightening out such a tangie. Despite the rules to the contrary, results show that the claim of 'talps fair in war" has about as many supporters as it ever did.
 The idea of Venezuela is to have a conference Of neutral nations fn this country for the revision of the rules of war. There is unqnestionabiy enough to furnish plenty of topics for a conference discussion with view to more effective regulations even from tlie standpoint of neutral nations, but ~om the disclosures in the past few
 ~antfs, it Is safe to presume that al
Norwich bulletin., 1914-12-30

 the evidence is not yet available and that tlereTore the calling of such a confereneEe at this time might be pre- mature.
 Such has been the disrespect for the existing code of regulations. how ever. that it is questionable what would be the result of such a neutral gathering. It might emphasize the at titude of thoses countries not engaged to those active in the struggle. but if there was violation of the agreements in which all participated, there is like ly to be still less respect for action which only portion of them may take. That there is need of revision in the face of the violations cannot be doubted. It must come in time, but it had better be done when all eoun- tries can be represented. or after the war is over.

HORRORS OF HOUSEKEEPING

What malevo1ent human being was 1t that invented housecleaning?n de- manded the woman with the green paraeol, dropping rather suddenly into a seat in the street car while the car started with an unseemiy rush.

NOT THE ADMINISTRATIONS ACT

Governor Colquitt of Texas is being taken to task in democratic circles for his violent attack upon the ad- ministration and the policies it has put into operation, wherein he belit- ties the foreign policy, calls the anti trust laws barefaced fakes, declares that the tariff law has had 2. contrary effect to what was promised and that the election of 1916 will mean the end of democratic control.
 While it has to be admitted that he is for the most part right, his atten- ton is being called to the fact that our tide of exports is rising with phe- nomenal rapidity and that where we had a credit balance of several hun dred millions against us a few months ago, we are certain to have one in our favor in little while and that may spell prosperity.
 Even though Governor Colquitts view of the situation through demo . cratic eyes does not set well in demo- cratic circles, it must be remembered that this large export trade and the chance for the return of prosperity is not a result of the policies which have been put into operation by the present administration. It is the direct outcome of the European war. It is an opportunity opened up for this country of which advantage is being taken. It has been of particular help to the administration inasmuch as it has covered up the shortcomings of the tariff for revenue only policy. the weaknesses of which had already be- gun to show themselves when the war appeared over the horizon, but to at- tribute this chance to pay off bur for eign debts and increase our export trade to the administration is Tidicu- lous.

THE FRANK CASE.

There have been few cases before the criminal courts of this country which have attracted more attention or brought forth more strenuous efforts for the prevention of an execution than that of the state of Georgia against Leo M. Frank. In view of the ease with which other cases of a like na- ture have received new trials the manner in which the appeals in this case have been made and shut off has given it added publicity.
 The granting of the second appeal made to him, by Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court, is bound to bring but the establishment of the fact as to whether under the law as construed by the highest court in the land the accused has had a fair trial. and that is a matter of vital concern both to Frank and the state of Geor- gia-
 Justice Lamar in granting the ap- peal declares that there are three points raised by the case which have never been passed upon by the United States supreme court--poirts which are of vital importance to the con- demned man. That being the situa- ton. it is bound to be a matter which needs attention and which should be determined at this time. A fair trial and not trial by mob, is what every prisoner is entitled to. If. in the opinion Of the supreme court. this has not been given Frank, it should be and Georgia prevented from carrying out a sentence which might forever blight it's claim to the maintenance O. a justice court It is far better that many guilty men go free than thai one innocent man should have his life taken through lack of fair treatment

RErTER oo lT AL LoNE.

Without a doubt there were the best of motives which prompted Italy to direct one of its warships to assist in the work which the two United States cruisers are engaged in at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. It is important that refugees should be given the needed help to get out of the country. and the idea of lending a hand was suggested by the existing conditions in Turkey and the disclosed inclination to obstrllct the departure of foreigners from Syria. There might come a time when good use could be made of such assistance, but 1t dis closes willingness upon the part of Italy that had better be exercised sep arately since there is no telling what might follow any effort to combine activities.
 This country is operating there sole ly as neutral nation. Its object is to take care of the rights and inter ests of Americans and such others of the foreigners as it can rightfully help. Apparently such is the purpose of Italy, but while such work is being conducted there is the friendly reia- ton with Turkey to be considered This country is determined that it shall not get drawn into the conflict If it pursues it's own course without the assumption of any greater respon- sibility it is best prepared to carry out it's purnose and retain full control of it's actions.
 It is not to be thought that Italy would do anything which would en- tangle this country. but if each nation makes it's own moves. even though the outcome is the same. proper pro vision against undesirable complica- tions Is made. None, more than Italy, will realize the wisdom of such a po- sition.
