CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

(by Elmer DuQen
TEXT: Let no man seek his own,
but each his neighbours good"
l. Corinthians: 1924.
The recent movement in our
city for civic betterment, as ! un-
derstand it, is local rather than
general; the word "civic" refer
ring to local affairs rather than
to governmental affairs in gener-
al. This is logical; for if charity
begins at home, then reforms
should begin at home. One can
scarcely expect one to be a good
citizen of his commonwealth if
he is not good citizen of his own
community.
This lays on all the obligation
to help each other. The world is
more unit than ever before, and
each person is dependent .on the
others for his comfort. The illus
tration of the apostle Paul will
apply also to community inter
ests. AS the body is one, and each
member has need of the other
~ lhC Is
one, and each person has need of
others. So there is forced on US
an obligation to each other.
Many attempts have been made
to solve this problem. Plato's
Republic" and Moore's utopia"
were highly visionary, but they
were attempts to solve the COM
munity problem. The early church
tried the experiment of a COM
munity of goods, but they failed
to take into account certain hui
man weaknesses. The ideal me-
thod is for each to recognize his
obligation to others and live up
to it. There should be commun-
.ity spirit. as there is a college
spirit, leading US to praise where
praise is merited, and leave un.
said the words that hurt. y

Georgia
BELIEVING HE IS NOT GUILTY
An Unfair and Prejudiced Trial
and Evidence Not Sufficient
to Warrant Execution

There are many petitions being
circulated in North Dakota and
signed by hundreds of people
without hesitation, to petition the
governor Of Georgia, who re-
sentenced Frank for execution
at Atlanta, Georgia. last week
Here is the story of the trial of
Frank by an eye witness to the
Courier News of Fargo:
Il was present i'm court last
Monday in Atlanta when Leo M.
Frank was resentenced and heard
his remarkable address in re-
sponse to the judge" said Mr..
Louise Gauvain of the Frank
Leslie company, who is spending
a few days in Fargo. He de-
scribes the scene as most inn
pressive. Mr.. Frank said:
The legal arena is closed
to me. The bar is placed for
ever against further legal process
Yet the issue of innocence has
been before but one court, that in
which the jury sat. All subsequent
appeals were made upon alleged
legal and judicial errors, not up-
on the facts or the evidence.
Since the jury heard the case no
court of inquiry or review has
sifted the evidence. No decis-
ion of any appeals court under

the evidence. The doubt of the
trial judge as to my quit still re-

Mr.. Gauvain was shown the
story in yesterdays COurier-News
with the picture of the sheriff and
the Jail. He quickly verified
both pictures and said the story
of the sheriff's personality is
very correct. HE has been very
kind to Frank" said Mr.. Gauvain
MRS. Mangum frequently made
little delicacies and sent them in
to him until one of the Atlanta
newspapers discovered this and
came out with an article about it,
then the kindly attentions ceased.

Mr.. Gauvain was sent to At

to write it up for Frank Leslie's.

Dartmouth Team Ready
for Finishing Touches

Hanover, n. H., Nov. \. Although
dissatisfied with the showing b. tne
Dartmouth eleven last Saturday. the
coaches began the weeks work with a
light practice. The general feeling is
that the team should have won by more
than "A score of to 3.
The only explanation is that until
this game the team has been made the
subject OF experiments to find out just
who the first string players are. The
coaches are settled in their own mind
en- this score, and from now on will
devote their time to putting the finish
ing touches and drive into the team.
The line, including the ends, is fairly
certain now, and the faults and virtues
Of the backtield men are known. Dart
mouth appreciates the fact that SYRIA
Cuse, which she tackles on November
20. has one of the most powerful teams
in the East, and all attention is centred
o., that game.
The most pleasing result of the Penn
sylvania game was the fact that there
we're no severe injuries. Barring any
unfortunate accidents during the week.
the entire squad should be in excellent
condition for the next two games The
quarterback problem is still the chief
worry of the coaches. All four of the
ren used in Saturdays game showed a
tendency TO tumble, which marred the
game. losing at least one opportunity
tor a Dartmouth score.

season for Union Colleges varsity,
will be unable to play in the final
game of the season with Hamilton on
Saturday. He sustained hip bruise
in the Rensselaer, Polytechnic game,
which put him on the side line. His
place was taken in practice this after
noon by Buffy Young, a freshman, who
halls from Los Angeles, where he
played soccer football. He is fast and
wiry, and with more experience should
fit in well at either end or halfback.
No scrimmage was held this afternoon.

took up the better part ot two hours.

prised the varsity backfield, and with
Goff at quarter worked well. Stoller,
who was injured three weeks ago. is in
prime condition once more and will be
able to use his dynamic line bucking
ability against Hamilton at Clinton
Saturday.
Some of the linesmen were not in
practice this afternoon, but two squads

ing will be in order the rest Of the
week, and every ounceof energy in the
eleven will be brought into play.

Sports.
lBy telegraph to The Tribune.

Ithaca, y. Y, Nov. s. The sensation
Of the year came for Cornell's
athletics, to-day. with the publication
of recommendation by the faculty
committee on student affairs designed
to curtail athletic schedules and urg-
ing general reduction in expenses.
The announcement of these recon-
mendations created so much comment
among the undergraduates, that it was
the one topic discussed. and particu-
larly among the football men.
1t is pointed out by those prominent
in athletic circles that such a ruling
was made about ten years ago when
Cornel's athletics had reached their
height and following which there was
a general downfall which has required
long time to rebuild Hardly ever
has such "A storm OF Indignation been
aroused among the students. who are
enthusiastic over recent victories.
Such recommendation as abolishing
the trip TO Atlantic City. preceding the
Thanksgiving Day game with Pennsyl-
vanla, and the reduction of expenses

tended that these recommendation
are aimed directly at football. since
they are made just at the time when
Cornell is attaining leadership in that
sport.

Bankart Points Colgate
for Syracuse Contest

Hamilton, n. Y. Nov. s.-With Col
gates big game OF the season less than
a week away, Larry Bankart has been
driving his men 10 the limit in an ef-
fort to perfect them for the annual
struggle with Syracuse. Realizing the
opponents strength. nothing is being
left undone to point the team for this
game.
Last week the men were put through
gruelling practices, and although handi-
capped by the unfavorable weather, the
handling of a wet ball under very try
ing conditions should eliminate FUN
bling, which has lost many opportuni-
ties during the season.
Several old varsity men are expected
this week 10 assist Coach Bankart. Joe
Brooks and Charlie Weber are to look
after the linemen, Tom Sullivan the
ends and Ellery Huntington the back
field. The homestretch will be the
hardest. but the coaches are confident
Of good results.
