The men who are going to lead you and dominate you pick thmselves out and elect them- selves by an electoral process over which Legislation can have no control whatever.

 ''So I want you to share with me this vision of the future of American busi

I would like to have the thrilling pride of realizing that there was nobody in America who was afraid to match wits with the world.

You know that for more than 100 years after the settle ment of this country--for nearly 100 years after the establishment of the union there was always a frontier on this con

THE VIRTUES OF FOOTBALL

With the football season has come the usual casualty list and the usual demand on the part of timorous citi- zens for the abolition of football The protests are less insistent than usual, probably because the war has so ac- temptation of pain that vt are all less sensitive about bodily injuries. Nevertheless the same old hostility to football is showing itself. And under the circumstances it is even more unfortunate and mischievous than usual.
 Football is rough sport, there's no use denying it. In fact, that is the peculiar virtue of the game. We may grant that it used to be un- necessarily rough, that notifications have in proved it and that certain un- desirable features might still be eliminated But to denature football and put it on par with tag or leap frog would be a national misfortune. T OA IL ACpk CoChlo IiiC lenoI oldAu OI naturally vigorous American youth against encroaching softness and en- ervation
 Our life tends to become too easy in physical sense. Even the child ren of laborers succumb to the tend eney. We take too little exercise. We come to fear physf fcal effort, heat cold, hunger, thirst, all sorts of en- durance. And yet it is only endur. ance and exertion that make strength And the mother or father or friend who tries to save a normal boy from ha-d exercise and spirited competi tion may be that boys worst enc my.
 Football is not for the weak, ot course. There are lads who should nJt be permitted to play; for then lighter exercise should be found. Bu for sturdy youngsters there's nothing better. It turns mollycoddles into men. It has the virtues of wa without wars evils.

PROTECTING THE GAME.

The more American u i'd game dis. appears the more it is appreciated Never before has there been such widespread interest in the preserva- tion of game birds and animals. The federal government has assumed pro lection of migratory birds-the only form of wild life over which Uncle Sam has Jurisdiction, outside of fed eTal preserves nearly all the states are falling into line and trying to do their part in preventing the ex- tinc.ion of species useful for food or for keeping down destructive in- secrs.
 More than 24O game laws were en- acted last year, in forty states. North Carolina made the best record with total of 16 new protective laws. Such widely separated states as Cali fornia, Oregon, Wisconsin, Connecti- cut, Maine, New Jersey and Penn sylvania all passed ten or more game laws. In only one or two states was any backward step taken.
 Many state laws were enacted for the purpose of harmonizing local legis lation with the federal regulations on migratory birds. Nine states have thus fallen into Line within the past year California, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Tennes- see and West Virginia. In Illnois and Washington new laws conform to the federal law with slight exceptions. , One of the most fruitful reforms is seen in the passage of a law by several states forbidding all aliens from hunting or owning shotguns or rifles. This regulation is modelled on the Pennsylvania law, which was sustained by the United States su- preme court last year. It is justi- fled cn the fact that certain classes of immigrants seem possessed with an unsuitable desire to shoot any living thing they see in the woods and fields, so that the only way to de- fend wild life from their depreda- tiors is. to deprive them of fra arnis,
 sportsmen used to fight the game laws. Now as a rule it is the sports men who insist on enforcing them and making them more strict. They know that without protection for game there would soon be no sport. And farmers who do not care for hunting are learning that the wild birds once regarded as their enemies are really their best friends.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Jan. 15.-Cattle ship

as there was quite a fair delegation
at hand again today, some so loads
or around 1900 head, as against
1890 a week g and 97S the cor
responding day a year ago.
Killing cattle were slow sale and
terms were much the same as on
Wednesday, and showed the full ex-
tent of the pounding the first three
days of the week. Average cut in
rates from the close of last week is
quoted by sellers as 20 a. Acc, which
is in line with the slumps noted at
other market centers for the same
period.
Call for finishing material was not
rs spirited as earlier In the week and
while there was no great amount of
change in prices the undertone to
the trade was weak. Prices have
worked down Is q 25c as compared
with the close of last week.
Clearance for hogs averaged a
shade lower. News from outside
indicated a like cut and there
was a fair degree of activity at the
decline at the local yards. Tops
reached $50, while the bulk of the
sales ranged from $6.62b a 6.67b.
Sheep house drew a fairly liberal
supply. General conditions favored
buyers and prices were weak to 10

PRODUCE NO PAINS
DIR. Carlson of Chicago University.
Gives His Impressions of a
Five Days Fast.

Chicago. Jan. 15.-Hunger, even
to the point of death by starvation,
causes little pain other than psychic
pain, according to DIR. A. j. Carlson
of the University of Chicago, who re-
lated the impression he drew from
five days of voluntary fasting to the
members of the National Academy of
Sciences.
This fasting period and other ex-
periments, he said, have caused the
conclusions that hunger is caused by
the contraction of the stomach mus
cles close to the aesophagus.
That these contractions can be re-
duced by psychic influence.
That tonics and bitters ordinarily
given to increase the appetite have
no effect on the stomach, but tend TO
decrease rather than increase the APP
petite.
That liquor and tobacco decrease
the appetite.
The pain caused by starvation Il
almost purely imaginary" said DR..
Carlson. IF one was able to adjust
his mind to conditions-to forget
that one was slowly starving TO
death-death would be almost with
out pain. We found there was no
actual pain after the third day"

GERMANS Determined
TO RETAKE TRENCHES

Paris, Jan. 15.-The German attack
on the allied lines north OF scissors
Is increasing, the Germans being ap-
parently determined to retake their
original positions there.
Reports say hat additional German
troops are being brought into action
there.
There is also activity reported along
the heights of the Meuse. Elsewhere
early reports indicate that only artil-
lery duels are in progress.
Ii is o believed certain that the
Germans have decided on another de
fensive to be directed against the
angle of the triangle formed by the
Rivers Aisne and Lys.
II Is known they are concentrating
artillery north of this line and have
also strengthened their positions north
of La Basse and between Ypres and
Dixmude.
While this originally appeared to be
an effort to relieve the pressure In the
districts of Alsace it Is now believed
an independent movement to hack
a way TO the sea and cut the allied
lines OF communication west of Cues
hoy and Perome.

Two of Gregory County Gang Tell of
Depredations.

Chamberlain, Jan. 14.-Three of
the five defendants recently arrested
by the Gregory county authorities on
the charge of being implicated in
wholesale cattle "rustling," as the
result of their preliminary hearing
have been held for trial i'm the state
circuit court. A sensational feature
of the preliminary hearing of Cyrus
Delany and Cecil Small. two of the
defendants. was the turning of
states evidence by Ray Kobe and
Theron Sehieb. two others who had
been charged with being implicated
in the thefts.
The precise charges against the
defendants was that they drove off
and stole twenty-seven head of cattle
belonging TO August LenZer, a ranch
man-homesteader living near Dixon.
Kobe and Scheib, in their confession
as made in open court during the
preliminary hearing of Delany and
Small. testified that they had been
approached and urged to assist i'm the
theft of the cattle. they being in
formed hat Delany and Small wer
to ship some of their own cattle and
would ship the stolen cattle with
their own animals. Both Kobe and
Scheib testified that they had never
received II part of the proceeds of
the sale of the cattle. They also
testified that they had been informed
by Delany that a few of the stolen
cattle had been shipped TO Sioux
City. but that most of them went 70
Omaha.
Earl Duncan, another defendant in
the cattle "rustling' cases, also has
been hold for trial in the state cir
cult court as the result of his pre-
liminary hearing. He is accused of
having been implicated in the theft
of the Lenzer cattle. At Duncan's
preliminary hearing both Kobe and
Scheib, who turned states evidence,
testified that so far as they knew,
Duncan had no part in the theft of
the Lenzer cattle. Before he left the
courtroom Duncan was re~arrested on
two additional charges of receiving
stolen property. These charges are
based on allegation that Duncan Sc
cured possession of three head of cat
tie that had been stolen, one of the
witnesses testifying that Duncan had
paid him $50 for stealing two of the
animals and delivering them to Dun
can. Duncan was held for trial on
the additional charges.
