A6OLISHING FOOTBALL

Four or five years ago through No.
vember, newspapers and magazines
were publishing articles on the aboli.
ton of football. This appeared feas.
ible and desirable to many of our
philosophers and sociologists.
This feeling was voiced by promi
nent educator, who said "The boys
are trained to consider as the hero
not the moral champion or the men.
tai expert. but the successful tackler
or heavy rusher."
This fall no more Is heard of the
proposed abolition OF football than
of the abolition of July Fourth, coun'
ty fairs or any other recognized Am
erican institution. Yet the objections
to the game seem about as strong as
ever. 1t does distract the minds OF
the boys from scholarship, and it does
pay. heavy toll in physical dsabil'
tiles.
Perhaps our educators are coming
to realize that colleges are a democ.
racy, in which the student body has
an important voice. You can make
rules that shall concentrate thought
on scholarship, and rule out the phys
ical and material. But the boys can
veto them by refusal to attend any
such institution.
The scholastic may think the ideal

of the college library, reading "far'

things himself. The boy engaged IN

The Message of Columbus

also that this liberty shall not become
license. For that We step over the
line and transgress on the rights OF
others.
But when we think that we have a
new country free of tradition ia
mould and shape as we will, isn't II q
wonderful gift to rejoice in, to be
thankful for. to be humble about as
thing that one should handle eau
tiously and carefully because It is so
very precious.
And when We think of that one man

JUDGE, sneers, scorn, sailing unknown
seas with disbelief and fear and dis
couragement and mutiny for his com:
panions. We can reverence him and
do him homage today as perhaps we
never have before.

steadfastly for the new land Of poll.

did for the vision he beheld Of an
earth different from the. accepted be,
liefs of his time.
But to stand for 1t and make It
possible, Wen have to face all he
faced-incredulity, sneers, scorn,
faintheartedness, Encouragement. az
gressive opposition.
But there is a Joy, isn't there, In
fighting against these and in making
q reality of the vision you know to
be true and worth while!
So let us dwell bit today upon
how far reaching Is Columbus dis
covery, how much more II means than
mere plains and woods and noun.
tains. how in reality 1t was land OF
new ideals. new government, new
rights for the people. a new meaning
OF life, that he discovered.
Let Columbus become to us more
than name in history. Let us see
the man, his aspirations, his disap.
polntments, his sreadfastness; and
let us enshrine him in our hearts as
an inspiration to make possible the
new birthright he gave mankind
when he stepped upon the shore OF
that new land he had sought so I'M

If it hadn't been for Columbus, we
might all Of us be in Europe now
with the awful results Of war all
about US.
To be sure, we might not be In ex
istence at all. Or somebody else be
fore now might have discovered Am
erica. But as the facts are, We owe
it to Columbus that we are not in
England or Germany or Italy or Aus
tria, according to the land from which
our forefathers hailed.
Think about 1t little bit, and OF
all 1t would mean to you were you
there now. Haven't you a warmer
feeling Of gratitude toward Columbus
than you had?
America may not be perfect. but
1t stands for certain ideals that are
the heartbeat OF happiness and pros
perity
And this being so, it follows, does
1t not, that our work is to see that
these ideals are not shattered, moi
the road to their accomplishment in
the individual life, blocked.
IL this comes to pass, we will 60
back to the condition of the older
civilizations Of Europe which have
no such ideals, whose foundations arc
OF very different stun, the fruits OF
which We now see in the devastation
and ruin and misery and unhappipe ss
spreading over the face OF Europe.
And Columbus holding steadfastly
to his course through the long months
when he had to make his voice for
the new truth heard as one crying
In the wilderness through the longer
months when he had to stick tenaci
ously against faint heartedness, unbe,
lief. stubborn prejudice. even mutiny
Is a good type, is he not, for us to
enshrine IN our hearts. In our voyage
toward the new political country OF
freedom and equality which we have
not yet reached. though perhaps We
can hear the surf on the shore.

A STIFF REBUkE

A STIFF REeUkE
While the local Democracy is wear
ing a forced smile and attempting to
give color to the thought that Tues
days election was very satisfactory
yet beneath the surface there Is much
dissatisfaction over the result. The
returns throughout the east are so
overwhelmingly Republican. and the
rebuke to the national Democratic ad-
ministration so marked that to the
average Democrat but little comfort
is forthcoming.
In Utah the Salt Lake Tribune
gave all assistance possible to the
Democracy, on account of local con-
ditions. The Tribune in this cam
raign was the best asset for the De-
mocracy and its conclusions on the
election are interesting to say the
least. In commenting editorially The
Tribune says:
Although the Democrats retain
control of both houses of congress.
the returns can bring them little
satisfaction and can inspire them
with but slight hope for victory
two years hence. In the east,
where the stress Of hard times was
felt prior to the war, 1t was diff
cult to convince the voters that
the war was responsible for the
hard times and 1t was only natural
that they should ascribe the de-
pressed condition of business to
Democratic mismanagement. New
ertheless 1t is impossible to deny
that the general decline in business
during the last sixty days has been
due largely to the European con-
flct. 1t is likely, therefore, that the
war prevented the Democrats from
being more disastrously beaten
than they were, because 1t served
as a good excuse, and to some ex-
tent a valid excuse for maintaining
that Democratic legislation was not
responsible for the slump in pros
perity.
On the whole the results are
rebuke to the administration in
Washington. The people Of the
United States have become so &C.
customed to prosperity under Re-
publican administrations and to
hard times under Democratic ad-
ministrations that 1t Is not easy
for them to accept fine spun Dem
oCratic excuses as satisfactory
substitute for good times. The
tendency in times OF depression Is
to return to that party whose ad-
ministration of national affairs has
shown an almost unbroken record
of prosperity.
In Utah there Is no doubt that 10
cal conditions had its effect upon the
result for as The Tribune says Utah
is normally strong Republican
state" and 1t is surprising to note that
Utah who stood so Loyalty with Pres
ident Taft In 1912. should come 80
nearly being thrown off her feet this
year. Her good judgment OF two
years ago Is now being complimented
by the tremendous returns for Repub.
licanism in New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, New England and other
states. Utah can now be sorry that
she did not come up to the standard
and maintain her normal Republican
plurality.

ant engagement between the lower

German attacks were everywhere re-
pulsed. The Germans suffered heavy
losses. especially during a vain attack
they made southeast of Skierniwicz.
Between the Pilica and the Upper

the defensive.
Our troops stormed the village OF
Szitniki which was stubbornly defend
ed by the Austrians. The enemy has
definitely evacuated the left bank OF
the Nida.
ITO the south of the upper Vistula,
on the front OF Opatow- Biecz, the
lighting continues to develop to our
advantage. From the 18th TO the 26th
we captured there 200 officers and 49,
900 soldiers and 40 mitrailleuses
