"BiIl's In Trouble"
(By Request.)

(By Request.)
I've got a letter, parSon, from my son
way out west,
An my OF heart is heavy as an anvil
in my breast,
To think the boy whose futur' 1 had
once so proudly planned
Should wander from the path o. right
an come 10 SIGH an end!
I told him when he left US, only three
short years ago,
He'd find himself a-ploHin' in
mighty crooked row
He'd miss his fathers counsel, an his
mothers prayer, too;
But he said the farm was hateful, an
he guessed he'd have TO go.
1 know that's big temptation for a
youngster in the west,
But believed our Billy had the cour-
age to resist;
An when he left l warned him o the
everwaitin' snares,
That you find like hidden sarpints in
LIES pathway everywheres.
But Bill he promised faithful TO be
keerful an allowed
He'd build a reputation that'd make
us mighty proud;
But it seems as if my counsel sort o
faded from his mind.
An now the boys in trouble Of tn
very WuSlSSl kluu-
His letters come so seldom that
somehow sort O knowed
That Billy was a-trampin' on mighty
rocky road,
But never once imagined he would
bow my head in shame,
An in the dust'd waller his OF daddy's
honored name.
He writes from out in Denver, an the
story's mighty short,
just can't tell his mother, it'll cruch
her poor OF heart:
An so l reckon, parson, you might
break the news to her
Bills in the legislator, but ne doesn't
say what ur.-Unidentified.
1T may be helpful to remember
that as the burden of sacrifice in
creases each day brings us nearer the
opening of the baseball season,
ONE day under the new code of
morals has passed. BY the way, how
are your good resolutions holding out?
THERE is bie opening for hap
by new year over in Europe.

may be good for us or bad for us.
Whether it Will be good or bad de-
ponds on the relation which the
knowledge bears to the work we have
to do. II it intensifies our interest in
our work and increases our efficiency
in il, it is good for US; but if it diverts
from our business in life and so de-
creases efficiency, il is bad for US Men
are qualified for their work by knowl-
edge, but they are also negatively
qualified for it by ignorance.
Nature herself appears to take care
that we do not know too much that
does not concern US. We are bound
10 a little planet and hindered by i'm
passable CULTS of space from wander
ing in stars where we have no bust
ness. If we have any kind Of eff
cheney it is owing chiefly to conc1 n
tration of our minds upon the lines OF
knowledge necessary TO our work and
to the directness of purpose which is
favorable TO a powerful individuality.
The Objectionable seeking after
knowledge is the 6 eking after the
knowledge which does not belong to
us. 1t is possible for us to be like
that foolish camel in the Hebrew
proverb, which in going to seek horns,
los, his ears.
The history of every successful man
can be summed up in one sentence:
He knew one thing we'll
Success is an absolute mastery OF
the single thing in hand.

RETIRING OF JUDGE VAN FLEET

That was a splendid compliment
that the ST. Joseph county bar paid to
Judge Vernon w. Van Fleet upon his
retirement from the superior court
bench with the passing of the old
year. There is always something i'm
pressive about court procedure that
is solemn and impressive but when an
association of lawyers meet to bid
professional adieu to a retiring jur-
ist it becomes particularly so. 1t is
something to preside over a court for
as long as Judge Van Elect presided
over the superior court OF this city,
and be able to retire with the full re-
spect and confidence OF the lawyers
that have practiced before him. 1t is
even more to be able to quit with the
full respect and confidence of the
litigants whose differences he has ad-
justed.
Judge Van Fleet gives way to
George w. Ford, elected last fall. 1t
is not the only one of the changes
about the county building to take
place the first of the year Now also,
it is Sheriff Charles Bailey and Clerk
George NJ. Raab, chief among the
new faces to inhabit county offices,
while Sheriff Edw. Swanson and Clerk
Frank Chistoph. appropriate an Eek"
Treasurer Fred W. Martin succeeds
himself. while Auditor Clarence Sedg-
wick and Recorder Noah Lehman
hold onto their jobs for another year.
1t is only in the case of Judge Van
Fleet. however, that there was any
thing formal about his departure, due
mainly. no doubt to the dignity OF the
office, and, to the fact that there was
an organization TO take the matter in
hand. We believe that the bar be-
spoke the sentiments of the entire
community in its set of resolutions.
The public admiration for his schol-
arly attachments as lawyer. his abil-
ity as a jurist, and his fearless and
impartial administration of justice"
is quite as general as is that of the
legal fraternity.eA

campaigns back, and yet he was pretty we'll adver-

time to advertise is all the time In business there is
no such thing as standing still. business will
either 60 forward or backward Even if you do just
as much business the coming year as you did during
the one just closed some other fellow is doing more
business and is getting ahead of you.
Each days efforts should be to exceed the sales for
the corresponding day year ago. The only sure way
to do it is to advertise. Advertise in busy times be

THE superstitious and pessimist
will find common cause for apprehen-
sion in the beginning Of 1915 on Fri
day. an evil omen greatly augmented
by the fact that the year will end on
Friday. April and July also end on
Friday and October begins on that
day. But the optimistic and non
superstitious will welcome the test
that after all Friday will be only the
unusual usual this year.

NEW YORK, oct. All the de-
tails of the coming series between
the Boston Americans and the Phila-

at a meeting of the national commits
sion TO be held here Saturday on
the toss Of a coin will depend the
choice of the city in which the open

appears TO be more interest in the
date of the opening contest than in
the location of the initial battle for
the chamI nship of 1915.
Whether the series will begin on
Friday oct S, or on Saturday oct 9,
Is causing much discussion among fol-
lowers of baseball i'm this city Many
express the belief that the American
league interests viii endeaVOr TO have
the play begin ON Friday. Oct s. tho
day after the close Of the league sea-
son This would preclude the posi-

pitcher. Grover Cleveland Alexander.

games played as might easily be done

opinion OF many close followers OF
baseball. would be decidedly advan-
ard bearers

WESTERN TEAMS
GET INTO ACTION
THIS AF TERNOON
Chicago Only One of the Big
Nine That Will loaf-IlIi-
noiS to Meet Haskell
Indians.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-The lid was
pried off the western conference foot
ball season today in all the Big Nine
colleges except the university of Chi
cago. In each of today's games the
conference teams go against elevens
that will give those watching the race
for the western championship, a good
line on the offensive and defensive
play of the various aspirants for con-
ference honors
The university of Illinois eleven,
champions last year were pitted
against the Haskell Indians. a strong
team that Coach Zuppke figured would
take the very best material and STRAIT
egg he has to defeat. The Indians
made great preparation for this game
in the hope of showing the champions
that the conference colleges are not
the only ones in Illinois that knew the
art Of football.
Minnesota, runner-up in last years
conference race, and picked by many
critics as having a good chance to fn-
fish at the top this season, was match
ed against North Dakota at Minneap-
oils today The Gophers went on the
] field this afternoon with a team that
contained seven stars of last year S
/ squad.
At Evanston Northwestern went
! into action against Lake Forest. The
game promised TO be an interesting
argument as the Lake Forest eleven
is known as a scrappy bunch of pig
| skin rusherS.
Purdue and Wabash clashed today
/ at Lafayette. Both teams have been
| highly spoken of by critics and a rat
Ting good game was in prospect as
| the two squads pranced upon the field.
| coach Andy Smith has been having
some difficulty in filling the berths
made vacant by graduations, but he
| has had a promising bunch OF re-
cruits to pick from. The Wabash
squad has been displaying unusual
! speed along with is usual aggressive
ness during practice this season.
! Indiana and DePauw lined up aginst
each other at Bloomington this af-
/ ternoon. The Hoosiers went into this
| opening game, determined to make up
for the miserable showing bade last
year.
! Ohio State started today against
! Ohio Wesleyan at Columbus. Iowa
clashed with Cornell college at Iowa

renee with good chance of winning by
a big margin.

HIGH TEAM FEARS
WAKARUSA SQUAD
Ineligibility Decree Seriously CrippIes
Locals Chances i'm Opening
Game.

Prospects for victory in the open
ing game today against Wa.karusa
are very gloomy. 1t is doubtful if
Coach Metzler can line up team
capable Of holding the strong down
statefs
A badly crippled team will start be-
cause of the ineligibility decree of Z.
/. Kizer, assistant principal Of the
high school, who banished those stu
dents who did not make three credits
in their work the last school semes-
ter, and those who at present are not
up in their studies.
OF those who received the axe"
possibly the greatest loss is that Of
Fullback Findlay, who was counted
on to back up the line where ne is
demon at tackling.
Others who are put out are Gallo
way, who has been used at end T. =
season and who probably would sec
service in today's game, and DuComb,
big and speedy guard who Metzler
hoped to develop into a first class
lineman.
Those who are at present unable to
play, but may play later in the sea-
son if they make up back work, are
Strang, halfback on the second team.

The lineup Of the Notre Dame team
will undoubtedly be changed consider
ably during the game as the coaches
want 10 give all the men chance IN
todays fray. 1t is probable that the
majority OF the men on the squad VIII
be sent into the contest.
Although il is "a fOregone conclusion
that Notre Dame will win today, the
score will be closely watched. Last
year the local varsity eleven defeated
Alma SO TO 0. but sitter opposition is
expected from the M:chiganders to-
day.
Youngsters at Quarter.
There has been considerable specu-
iation as to whether "Y Dung Dutch"
Berman, younger brother of the IA
nous Dutch" or Phelan, both of
whom were freshmen last year would
be started at quarterback today.
Coach Harper said yesterday that
Bergman would start the game, but II
is almost certain that PhelaE viii pl-
lot the team during the second half.
The work of the two youngsters VIII
be watched with interest, as they are
both new men and as much viii de-
pend on them this season.
BaChman will be seen for the first
time at fuUback. The work Of Ma
lone at the right halfback position,
"a freshman of last year, Will be close

Coaches Harper and ROckne have
been constantly worried by the Of
Tense and today's game will give some
indication or the aDlllJy or the team
against an outside eleven.

days game. while Edwards will be

Stands have been erected on both

that a good sized early season crowd
will be on hand TO witness the game
mass meeting of students was
held in the gymnasium last night
at which a yell practice was held.
The score Of the Illinois Haskell
game will be closely watched by the
NOtre Dame fans today, as Haskell
plays here next saturday and the In
