teams are using this play with con- siderable regularity. a-5
 The open game speeds the game and it has robbed football of much of its former danger to combatants. The old style game consisted in the main of line plunging-of drives at center against the tackles and against the guards. All these were mass plays. and no matter how weak the offensive line or how powerful the opposition backfeld. very few teams were able to average better than three yards on drive at the line..'
 Under the new system, with the for. ward pass and the double and triple passes permissible, gains of anywhere from ten to forty yards are possible In one play. Yale by the use of the double and Triple pass and by the ocrasionai.use of arforwara passEoftea made gains1of 90 and 25 yards against Notre Dame. It. was the use of the plays that won for Yale in that game. and it was because Washington and Jenerson was more expert in those new. plays than Yale that gave the. Washington and Jefferson team it's vic. tory over Yale.

Republican Downfall.

That stupid and lying quotation at. trlbuted to Abraham Lincoln-sI don't know much about the tariff" etc.-did
 service in behalf of Republican sen atorlai candidates in at least three states-Pennsylvania, New York and connecticut. The birth of this impu- dent lie in the American Econon;et or about twenty years ago, and ex- posed by Professor Taussig of Har- yard university, was recently set forth m the Record, but the exposure has not, of course, had the slightest effect in deterring the Republicans from making full use of the fallacious mis- statement. In this state it very prop erly passed under the head of Pen roselsm. To such cheap tricks and base forgeries has come the party that once boasted that it was the exclusive American repository of moral ideas Philadelphia Record.

H
 also for the most part the running at. tack within striking distance has been estimated from the viewpoint of it's final march rather. from that of the type of kicking which made this march possible.
 P open football, passing of all kinds, does not mean the death of the kick ing game by any means, and. that fact has been emphasized in recent games. The bunting game insures a lack of waste effort that is not pres ent when there is determined effort to drive down the field. The game as 1t is played today is not as long as it used to be. Although the, minutes of serious action are few and far be- tween, there is wear and tear that is que in most cases to the attitude of eternal vigilance. N,.
 Watching the other fellow success. fully has become increasingly difficult. More. generally than ever before the opinion has gained ground that, the pest thing to do is to hand the other player the. ball on the slightest prov. ocation. Continual passing places the defensive eleven on the alert at all times. and it is this mental strain which tires the players as much as heir physical efforts.

FOR MORE HARMONY
President Said to Contemplate
 Change in Custom.
May Discontinue Present Plan of Hav- ing Heads of Government Depart ments Make Public Reports
 Before Congress Convenes.

It has been. stated, with much plau.
 sibility, that President Wilson will
 direct the discOntinuance of the cus-
 tom of having the reports of the heads
 of the government departments made
 public before congress convenes. His
 intention is explained as that of revis-
 ing the various recommendations of
 the cabinet members, so that the de
 tails will dovetail into harmonious
 policy. It will be remembered that
 Postmaster Hitchcock caused MT.
 Taft much more than a bad quarter
 of an hour,'' as the French say, by
 inserting in his annual report tf1e,rec-
 ornmendation. that the government buy
 all the telegraph and telephone lines in the country. It required the presi- dent ito scorn delights and live, labor 1ous days" for time while trying to separate the administration from the postmaster-generala as to that particu- lar suggestion.
 The reported plan is to be com mended. These departments are executive and. the president alone should control the account given of the state of the Union and the recom- mendations to promote the general welfare. There will be no such sub serviency of a cabinet member as will prevent him from having in- some manner his own particular views brought before congress and he can carry his advocacy of them to any limit he desires. Several presiden- t1al advisers have resigned, ostensibly because they could not reconcile their policies with those of their chief, but usually their next act was to become presidential candidates.
 The president is responsible for the conduct of all the departments and it is his policy which should govern. The English cabinet theory is precise ly the same, that of united action. But what is the largest factor in enlisting public favor for this reform is it's trend toward the adoption of nation al budget system. The only objec- t1on to the plan of preliminary re- vision of these reports might be the l lear that an executive would suppress | data which congress, should know. It | VIII be remembered that when, dur ing more partisan period, the office | of the comptroller of the currency was created, the term was made five years, to carry it beyond presidential term, md his report was made submissible directly" to congress. But this sup pression by aniexecutive is no more Q be apprehended than that by a de oartment head.

ss (By FRANK G. MENKE.)
 Football has been lifted from a game that lacked the spectacular to . game that is filled with the spec tacular by the almost universal adop- ton this year of the open style game.
 In other years, when line-smashing ruled, the game had few real thrills for the spectators. They would see the teams line up and then they would see P men pile one on top of the other. The same thing would be re- peated time and again, with a varia- ton now and then with an end run. But there was no open playing. All of the playing was done by massed' crowd of players. Very often the players were grouped together so closely that the spectators could not see the ball passed.
 .ss Bat this gear, wishS lateral passes. double passes, triple passes, forward. passes and other trick plays predomi- hating, the game has been lifted to a; point where the spectators can see nearly everything that is going on. There is not prettier play, from the spectators viewpoint, than a triple pass, and most of the big college

Some Credit for Democrats:

 Tn it's efforts to curtain federal ex- pendltures and thus to keep within the shrinking government revenues, the democratic administration should find a degree of satisfaction in the annual report recently issued by the commis- sioner of pensions" remarked James T. H. Blackford. a Chicago attorney at the Shoreham hotel.
 When one stops to consider that since, 1866 $4,461, ,9O4,3sO.45 has, been expended in pensions, at a cost of $125.s71 ,s65.e4, it is at. least encourag- ing Ii sad to have the commissioner say that thelmaximum has at last been reached and that in each succeeding year the pension payments will stead fly decrease.

To Announce Vacant Seats.

Pennsylvania Railroad passenger
trainmen have received instructions that
whenever passenger coaches are crowd
ed, member of the train crew must an
nounce the number Of seats available in
each coach. Special attention is directed
to this practice at the larger terminals
where passengers are liable to be incon-
venienced by the congestion of travel.
These instructions for trainmen to find
seats for passengers follow recent in
vestigation which developed that almost
invariably when some cars on a train
we're crowded, there were sufficient
seats available in other cars on the train
to accommodate all of the passengers
who were standing, if the passengers
could only be made to know OF it.
1t is now made the business of train.
men to see to it that no passenger is
compelled to stand if there are any seats
left in any part of the train. The policy
of the management is to provide suffi-
cent cars to seat all Of the people nor
mally using any train.

tied his home on Saturday night. The

slight, but he hopes that some of them
will prove of value.

Securing Members For the LII
brarv League.

Members OF the Library League Com
mittee have been at work for some time
getting in readiness to form the organi-
cation which will after July 18th, con-
duct the Frederick Free Library. The
plan was to have the Civic Club, which
managed the campaign for the establish
ment ofthe institution, conduct the library
for the first three months, at the end of
which time il was to be turned over to a
separate and distinct body, which would
have entire control of the library.
The Library League will be an incor-
porated organization, and it is planned
and hoped to have fully 1000 members.
The Leage will have charge of raising the
money for the support of the institution.
Until Frederick receives the library be-
quests. which will be available in time, it
will cost at least $1,000 each year for the
maintenance of the library. Most of this
money will probably be raised by the
membership dues in the Library League,
while other money will likely be made
by entertainments, benefits, etc.
Membership in the League will cost
so cents year. To be placed on the
Board of Patrons and Patronesses one
dollar year or as much as the
person feels disposed to contribute will
be the fee charged. 1t is the belief of the
ladies in charge that as many as 1000
members can be secured for the League.
Persons in the county, as we'll as in the
city, will be asked to join as the library
is tor the use of the entire county as we'll
as Frederick city.

Frederick Likely to be on the
Memorial Road.

FREDERICK Likely TO DO on Cn6
Memorial Road.
If President Wilson's desire is followed
out, the proposed Lincoln Memorial
Highway, will pass through Frederick.
He has written a letter to Mr.. Henry
B. 10y, the President of the private asso-
citation which is pushing the project, to
this effect, and 1t is felt that the move
ment to Include Baltimore and Washing
ton, and incidentally Frederick, in the
official road, has taken considerable i'm
petus, and that Frederick stands an ex-
cellent chance of being located on the
Memorial Road.
President Wilson in his letter uses the
elective argument that the route which
he endorses will also serve to obliterate
the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line,
dividing the North and the South.
He points out that there is no divided
country any longer. The President sent
his letter acting upon the suggestion OF
the Joint committees of the Baltimore
and Washington business men which
waited upon him recently in regard to
the change in the route which had been
proposed. The request was that the
head ofthe nation endorse the change of
the route to include Baltimore and
Washington on its route from coast to
coast.
Another reason for the change in the
route is that the highway should be
made to pass the new Lincoln Memorial
now under construction in the Mall, in
Washington. The President pointed out
in his letter that no new roads would
have to be constructed to include the
Southern cities in the route, but that it
would be necessary only to designate Of
ficially the good roads already in exist
ence as part of the Lincoln Highway.
