Attorneys representing Jacob Cans
ley of Lansing, have appealed to the
supreme court for a reversal of Cans
ley's conviction in the Ingham circuit
where he was declared guilty OF
violating the provisions of the corrupt
practises act, when as an officer and
director of the Lansing Brewing COM
pany he contributed $500 to the Per-
sonal Liberty League, an organization
formed to combat local option at the
election held in Ingham county in
April, 1914.
This is the first time that the SUI
preme court has been asked to pass
upon the constitutionality of the cor
rupt practises act passed by the legis-
lature in 1913. The attorney general
has held that a local option commit
tee or an association organized to COM
bat local option is a political commit
tee under the meaning of the act and
must therefore comply with its pro-
vision.
There is a provision making il un-
lawful for any officer or director of

Governor Ferris does not enthuse
over the proposition submitted by

President Wilson and Secretary of

Our selections, As you viii note, go

those four big colleges that are out

Michigan and Michigan Agricultural
And in three of those four colleges We
have found men, how. in the opinion
o fsome coaches and newspaper experts
are superior to any of the Big Nine"
men playing similar positions
Chamberlain Real Wonder.
Chamberlain. OF Nebraska. and
Squier. OF Illinois, won the flank posi-
tions on the first team because OF their
consistently brilliant work throughout
the season Chamberlain probably is
the most wonderful end the west has
ever knOwn-and undoubtedly one of
the greatest in the history of the game
In the eight games in which he particle
pated he scored I6 touchdoWns-an
average Of two ~er game-for a total
of SO points, a record that no other
wing man can equal or even distautly
approach He stands over six feet in
height, weighs 190, is a 10 20 second
man on the track, and can hit a line
with the power Of battering ram But
most Of his touchdowns have been
scored via the forward pass route.
Buck, Of Wisconsin, ana Shull, Of
Chicago, are superb tackles. Buck is
as fleet as deer, a stonewau in de-
fence, and fine kicker. Shuu is one
Of the best hooters in the game and he
has the uncanny power Of being son
the ball' all the time He rarely failed
TO open a hole when called upon and
he was wonder in breaking up plays.
Dunnigan, Of Minnesota, and Fitzger-
aid, the Notre Dame captain, rank as
the best guards that the west pro-
duced this year. Time and again plays
were directed at them-and Just as
often those plays were stopped. Fitz-
gerald. despite his 1S5 pounds Of bulk,
. frequently was the first man down the
4 field after his team had puuted and at
least a half dozen times he threw the
unt-grabber for loss-an almost in
conceivable stunt for a guard 10 ac-
complish.
Watson. of Illinois. and Hanson. of
Minnesota had a battle royal al lsea-
son for the first team center jOb-aud
I watson, IN the opinion Of the majority,
won by a slight margin.

salutlna the Quarterback.

Every time an officer or seaman
goes upon the quarterback he salutes
it. He never by any chance forgets
this, one Of the regular customs on
board, says Parsons Weekly. The
quarterback is that part of the deck
reserved by officers, and many people
think that the reason why 1t is sa-
luted is out Of respect for those Of
ficers. The why and wherefore of the
saluting has a far more interesting
origin than that, however, and one has
to go back hundreds Of years to find
the beginning of the custom. In the
old days a crucitix used to stand on
the quarterback. In those days all
the sailors were Catholics, and, OF
course. every time they approached
the crucifix they crossed themselves
to show their reverence for the holy
symbol. 1t is many long year ago
since the crucifix was there, but the
custom of saluting the quarterback,
which was a result of 1t, has been
handed down in the navy ever since.

battle, and by its name the Germans
still know the battle of Waterloo.
Close at hand is undoubtedly the
most beautiful monument on the whole
field-and one of the most recent. IL
shows wounded Imperial Eagle dy-
ing in defense of a broken standard.
It bears the simple legend AUX
Derniers Combatants de la Grande
Armee, IS JUN 1915" To the last OF
those who fought In the Grarde
Armee Of Napoleon, to the gallant vet
Grams Of those wonderful soldiers the
Little Corporal led through Europe,
Frenchnfen erected this striking mon
ument only a few years since
From Belle-Alliance the pilgriT7's
road led generally to the right along
the narrow lane that runs through the
very center Of the battlefield to per-
haps the most historic of all its re-
mains. the Chateau de Hougomont.
The story of this chateau is one that
can never die.
Hougomont was one Of the advanced
posts of the British lines and the key
of the British position. II 1t had fall
len, the history of Europe would have
been differently written.
At the time Of the battle, Hougo-
mont was an old, partly-ruined cha
teau, surrounded by numerous out
buildings. BY the Great Dukes own
orders the place was hurriedly turned
into a fort. Here, throughout practi-
cally the whole day. the Coldstream-
ers, who fought the bulk of the de-
Tending force, held back the most
violent attacks of the action.
With the circuit from the Mound
to Belle-Alliance, and back to Hougo-
mont, the tourist generally contented
himself; but in Waterloo itself, and
in Mont ST. Jean, there are scores OF
memorials of the famous day.
Waterloo was the Duke of Yelling
tons headquarters from June 18th to
the 18th. The church contains bust of
him, by Geefs, and numerous memorial
