The Foot Ball Season.
rrsn the New Yorh rrisaas


In the foot ball season which - just
beginning the new open game u no longer
on trial 1t has been made practicable
and has incidentally carried foot ball to
an unprecedented hsight Of popularity.
The devisers of the new game sought to
get away from the slow. crushing and
to the spectator rather unfnterestins.
push-and-pul style which had come into
vogue With the mass formations. They
broke up the sluggish and dangerous mass
attacks. but in their anxiety to encourage
open playing they went to the other ex-
treme. and SO reduced the power Of the
running offense that little consistent
progress could be made, and each side
had to kick continually and trust to a
tumble to get within striking distance
OF the goal line. Experience with the
open game soon led to changes IN the
rules which lesssnsd the too great ad-
vantage given to the defense and struck
an admirable balance between the attack
ing and the defending foroeA Fool ball
Is now varied and celebrating sport

dramatic action and Offering the freest
scope both for concerted strategy and

pathy for the Boston players, who have
made one Of the most extraordinary up
hill hshts in the history Of the game,
rising since the 1st Of July from last
place to first. Perhaps again this sym-
pathy Is due to the success of the Bos-

there 10 doubtless in the minds Of most
Washingtonians who follow the sport
the feeling that the defeat Of the Ath-
letics by Boston in this world cham
pionship race would be to the benefit Of
base ball in general and American
League base ball in particular, because
continuous success by any one team Is
viewed as undesirable. In any case, the
remarkable fact stands that the triumph
of the Boston team yesterday against
the representative of the league with
which Washington belongs was hailed
with delight by the Washington public

Money in Political Campaigns.

Nothing would be lost by the post
ponement until after the elections of
the resolution proposing an investiga-
tion of the means employed in the
primary campaigns of Mr.. Penrose and
Roger Sullivan. Whatever the results
next month-whether for or against
the two men named-the subject will
still be In order. If Mr.. Penrose and
Mr.. Sullivan are successful, the Senate.
which under the Constitution is made
'the Judge of the elections, returns. and

are defeated. in all probability they OF
their friends will ask for an investi-
cation of the campaigns of the success

friends are replying at this time with
charges against the other side.
But why limit the inquiry to two
campaigns? Why not a general in

S.. Louis Fire Prevention Day.

From the 6t. Louis Republic.
Fire Prevention day was called to the
attention of the public with such q

IL the householder wishes to take part

looking about hts own premises 2 little

see that the matches are kept as they
should be, and that his chimneys are
clean, the fues right and furnace or
stoves in order. Inhammable rubbish
can be removed from the cellar and
preparation made for the safe disposi-
ton of the winter ashes. Having at
tended to the physical and outward
causes of fire. the householder may
probably look to the inner and more
spiritual aspects Of Ore prevention. He
may firmly resolve to be careful with
his pipe and cigars and he may ad-
monish his wife. his daughters. his
maid servant and his man servant to
remember that gas, kerosene, gasoline,
naphtha and kindred substances are
to be treated with caution and not
unduly exposed to the action Of fire. IT

other things Of a similar nature az he

but he will have observed 1t In a thor

RAILWAY
At Pierre Concerning Putting Into
Effect Rates i'm the State.

Pierre, Sept. IA number of
railway representatives appeared be-
fore the state railway commission at
a hearing in which the matter of put
ting into effect of rates in this state,
was the main issue. Under the pro-
visions of chapter 304, laws of 1913.
The commission is holding strictly on
the provision which says: mo such
change in rates, rules, regulations or
practices shall go into effect until al
lowed by the board of railway com
missioners." This the commission
construes to mean that permission
must be secured from the commits
sion before any change can be made
In rules, rates or regulations. The
representatives of the roads contend
that the procedure should be the
same as that of the interstate COM
mission, which allows the filing of
any proposed rate, change, rule or
regulation, to 20 into effect within
thirty days unless the same is sus-
pended by the commission, to bring
the matter to a hearing. The rail-
roads were represented at the hear
ing by Messrs. Knapp of the Rock
Island, Mahoney of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, Porter of the Mil
waukee and Gardner and Donegan of
the Chicago e. Northwestern.
