TALKING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT

The good sense of President Wilson
came to his aid at once and caused him
to order the reinstatement of the assist
ant postmaster at Winnetka, Ill.,, follow
ing the discharge of that official by his
immediate superior in Office. The osten.
sible reason for the discharge was a state
ment credited to the assistant postmas-
ter, criticizing President Wilson for hav-
ing become engaged 10 be married within
year after the death OF his first wife,
although il is probable that the whole
story Of the relations between the post
master and his assistant az Winnetka
has not been fully revealed TO the public.
But on the stated ground Of the dismissal
there can be little conflict Of opinion; Il
does not constitute a good and sufficient
reason for the summary removal Of al
federal Office holder from his position.
President Wilson's marital plans are his
own affair, together with his fanoee, but
there Is no lese majesty prohibition in
this republican form Of government Of
ours which hedges the president Of the
United States about with an impene
irable defense against the darts Of criti
ism. Elevation 10 the Office Of the presi.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND PROBES
SOCIALISM.


The fact that young man played pro
fessioual baseball and then played inter,
collegiate football as a member of the
Trinity college football team has thrown
excitable people into a stage of hysteria,
There is tremendous hue and cry,
Long gated persons are rushing wildly
about, shouting stop thief" Murder"
"Cut- throat" or any other handy express
sion. Others are piously clasping their
hands and thanking the gods of amateur
sport that they are not like some other
colleges and the hayward denizens of
those colleges Still more arc trembling
lest they may have committed the un-
pardonable sin against simple, simon
pure amateurism. few are keeping
their heads and looking on with just a
faint flicker of smile chasing itself ever
and anon across their countenances.
1t all happened because George Brick
ley, brother to Charley Brickley of Har-
ward, you know, saw fit to enter Trinity
college after he had been given a base
ball tryout by the manager of a major
league baseball team and because he saw
fit TO try for the football team there and
because the coaches concluded that George
was good enough for them as a player. |
So he was placed on the team to do the
somewhat heavy and dirty work of carry
ing the pigskin adown the chalkines and
perchance, across the goal line of the op.
position. In that position George has
Played and opposition teams are ready
TO confess that the Trinity coaches knew
a good football player when they saw
one, for George took to the work Of
carrying the ball just as a duck takes to
water. But presently the schedule came
down TO New York university, and New
York university baked because il did
not wish to have It's lily whiteness soiled
by contact with the foulness Of profes-
sionalism. So to speak, IL picked up its
white linen skirts and disdainfully passed I
on the opposite side Of the road. All wen z
and good. Under the strict interpreta
ton Of the amateur rules, Brickley l. !
professional and a. such had no right 10 G
play with amateur boys and children.
But the hysteria comes IN when the o
amateur powers that BE- Try 70 prove
that each and every college team that .
has played against Trinity with Brickley
IN the lineup has become infected with =
The faint Of professionalism and ought
therefore, to be cast into outer darkness. b

bans high school football officials last
evening to the effect that game between
the two elevens for the championship Of
the northern part of the state weald
be out of the question next Saturday, in
asmuch as the st. Adams team decided
last Saturday that they would complete
the season with the Spaulding game.
The principal reason assigned was that
the weather is now uncertain and that
the game might have to be played under
bad conditions. The local management
offered to pay the st. Adams teams ex-
penses to this city, the game to be played
at lntercity park and the receipts to be
divided equally.
