The football cheers have died away,
Get your skates.
The bats and gloves have had their day,
Get your skates.
A nipping frost is in the air,
The ice Is good. the day is fair.
Leave fireplace and your easy chair.
Get your skates.
Forget the war, election. too,
Get your skates.

Get your skates.
The open is the place for you,
Jack Frost's q friend. both tried and true,
just rcmp with him and health you'n WOO,
Get your skates.

No one Is more glad of the RESIGNATION
Of Attorney General Gregory than are
the newspapers, particularly the small
newspapers. During Attorney General
Gregory's administration the criminal
trusts have not been prosecuted, and
worse than that. they have known that
they would not be prosecuted. AS re-
suit Of this maladministration of the De-
partment of Justice. the United States is
as full of civilian bandits as Mexico is
Of military bandits. Our Carranzas, VII
las and Zapatas do not murder, it is true,
but they do loot the business interests of
the United States, they do rob the people
of the United States. day and night
Among these bandit trusts and criminal
conspiracies there is none that Is more
ruthless or more criminal than the un-
lawful conspiracy and criminal trust
which RIBS the newspapers.-New York

porters in the State Department
made copy" OF the fact that Count
Won Bernstorff, the German Ambas-

British Ambassador. passed without

point OF the story. it seems to US,
should have been that neither the

4 New York interviewer called on
Madame Bcrnhardt at the Empire
Theater. He was told she was hav-
ing a rehearsal and to call later. He
marveled at this, for no rehearsal had
been called. Later he met Nine.
Bernhardt and she explained that she
had been "rehearsing a new leg" as
she pointed to the debris of a dis
carded artificial limb. There are
many reasons why We love the divine
Sarah, but her charming fortitude and
philosophical acceptance of her great
misfortune are almost beyond our

London, Nov. 2S, 6:12 a. m.-Ger- man newspapers regard the decIaxa- ton of war by the provisional gov ernment of Salonild as neglble, ac-I oording to an Amsterdam despatch to Reuters. The despatch quotes the Koe1nische Zeitung as saying:
