Tech Players Out of Game;
Coaches Call in Substitutes

Gipple and Garman, two linemen
of the Tech High school football
squad received minor injuries in the
Lebanon contest Saturday that will
keep them out of scrimmage during
this week. Coaches Miller and Pend
ergast will not take chances with
crippled players as there are too many
players available at the present time
to disable any members of the eleven
for the season.
The squad was excused from prac-
tice last evening because of the rain,
and in order to give the men a chance
to relax after their hard work Sat
urday. The coaches are now bending
every effort to whip the team into
shape for the game with Easton Sat-
urday at Island Field. AS an extra
attraction assistant managers Patter-
son and Moore have scheduled En-
haut High school as an opponent for
the second team, the game to be play
ed prior to the ch-Easton contest.

until the explosions come regularly.

TAFT On WILSON AND HUGHES

LFrom an Article by ex-President Taft
on The Democratic Record" in the
October Yale Review.l
Other instances might be cited, but
these are certainly enough to justify
the conclusion that Mr.. Wilson has
few. If any, convictions on the issues
of the day which exigency in the field
of politics may not induce him to give
up. Nor does Mr.. Wilson waste time
in explaining in argument the reason
for his frequent changes of view His
faculty in this regard robs OF special
importance his public utterances as a
basis for supporting him as a candi-
date
On the other hand. Mr.. Hughes is a
man whose convictions have always
been the guide of his action. I say
what the people of the United States
know when ! say that the chief char
actertsttc of Mr.. Hughes is the courage
of his convictions in meeting the en-
barrassment of political opposition. He
gives the reasons for the faith that is
In him. He argues out his propo-
sitions, and he does not depend upon
mere facility of expression, mere hap
piness of epigrammatic statements.
mere graceful phrasing of a platitude
to support his opinion. He carries
conviction by his speech to his audi
ence and he carries by his own con-
viction into action. His strength be-
1ore the people and the Importance to
them of his utterances and promises
grow out OF their confidence that he is
not an opportunist, but that no po-
litical expediency will prevent his
hewing to the line and fighting to the
last for his principles. 1t has been
said that there is little difference be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes ex-
cept that Mr.. Wilson has had the presi-
Dental experience. This is as far as
possible from the fact. Having in view
Mr.. Wilson's record on nearly every
political question and Mr. Hughes's
course as Governor of New York, it
would be difficult to find among the
public men of the country one who lis
less like Mr.. Wilson than Mr.. Hughes.

Washington and the Armor Plant.

Washington's campaign for the naval
armor plant has progressed to the point
Of presenting a convincing brief setting
forth the advantages of the capital for
such an establishment The argument
in behalf of Washington is undeniably
strong. 1t possesses material facilities
in point of nearness to the supplies of
coal, iron and limestone 1t has excel
lent water facilities and ample rail COM
munications. There is no lack of room.
An opportunity is offered for the close
conjunction of the armor plant and the
naval gun foundry. The plant, if placed
here, would be under the direct super
vision of the Navy Department, q ma
terial advantage in point Of time and
convenience of administration. More
over, it is eminently appropriate that
this establishment should be located at
the seat Of government, especially in
view Of the fact that the naval gun
foundry has been complete success in
all respects here. All Washington is
aligned in the effort to secure the Sc
lection of this city by the naval authori-
ties, every organization Of citizens and
business men joining in the movement.

The World Champions.

The world series base ball games,which
began with three hot contests, each of
which might have been changed in result
by single hit or error, have come to an
end with two encounters that lacked in
spectaclar features, and were won by
comparatively: wide margins. When
Brooklyn won its first game, on its home
grounds, a feeling prevailed that the
contest might be sharp and close to a
protracted finish. But the "class" of
the Bostons told in the end. They took
the next two games with relative ease
In every branch of the game the winners
showed superiority. They hit better
than Brooklyn and felded better. Their
pitchers gave fewer bases on balls They
were more consistent with their batting
and their hits were harder, making
thirty-nine for total of sixty-four
bases, as against thirty-four for total
of forty-nine. They made twenty-o one
runs to thirteen. They were more re-
liable on the defense, making only six
errors to thirteen. They were, in short,
the better team and won the world cham
pionship on merit.

Roosevelt's Next Tour.

Mr.. Roosevelt's itinerary-he leaves
New York Tuesday ON long trip-cuts
out Texas. That is good idea. Texas
is not debatable ground in this cam
paign-. There has been much criticism in
the state of the Presidents Mexican pol
icy, but it will not count at the polls
next month. Texas Will vote for Wilson.
The suggestion that Mr.. Roosevelt visit
the Lone Star state comprehended an
address or two to the troops assembled
there for border duty. II is easy to see
that he would have had great recep-
tions. He Is popular in soldier circles
He speaks the language Of the tribe,
and the toggery is becoming to his style
of beauty. He rides well, shoots well
and believes in military training.
But had he presented himself he would
not have been accepted as a champion
Of preparedness emphasizing the impor-
tance of that issue, but as a stump
speaker urging the election Of the re-
publican national ticket He could not
have divorced himself from his posi-
tion In the political campaign-could
not had he tried have worn the habili-
ments Of -partisanship for the occa-

Now, of course, those soldiers have
votes, and will cast them next month.
They did not part with their citizenship,
or their interest in political affairs, when
they put on Uncle Sans uniform. Pre-
sumably, they have been following
through the medium of the daily press
the progress of the campaign, and will
express themselves with their ballots
when the time comes about the conduct
of the ceuntry's civil affairs.
But stumping among them would not
have been seemly. The party spell
binder does not fit in the tented field or
in the barracks, and should never visit
them in his professional capacity. His
usefulness is elsewhere.

An Effective Pistol Law Urged.

Mai. Pullman, in his annual report
makes an emphatic recommendation for
the enactment of law to check the
pistol evil in the District. His proposal
goes to the root of the evil, the facility
with which it is possible for anybody to
obtain a deadly weapon here. He would
have it required that every person make
written application to dealer for the
purchase of tirearm and that delivery
should not be made for from ten to
thirty days, giving the police depart
ment time to inquire into the character
of the prospective purchaser. This
lapse of time also, in the case of a Sc
eret intent to slay, would give the intend
ing purchaser and killer chance to
cool off and change his mind. Maj. Pull.
man goes even further in his plan for
the regulation of this traffic by suggest
ing that recent portrait of every per
son who purchases a deadly weapon
should be furnished the police depart
ment, and that the registry be kept of
the name of every person owning fire
arm in the District, with the name and
number of the weapon.
The adoption of these recommends
tions would not deprive any person in
Washington of the right and oppor
tunity to buy pistol or a gun for a
legitimate need 1t would impose slight
delay which in all but the rarest excep
tions would be of no disadvantage. 1t
would acquaint the police with the names
of all owners of deadly weapons, put
ting them on guard against pistol car
riers. 1t would undoubtedly reduce
crime in the District by large per
centage.
The Commissioners should make Maj.
Pullman's recommendation on this point
part of their annual report for the
purpose of securing the necessary legis-
lation at the next session of Congress.
This matter has been debated long
enough. Of the need of a more eff
feetive pistol regulation there can be no
doubt, in view of the long record of
pistol crimes in Washington, especially
the late outbreak of shooting, which
netted loss of six lives within few
days. With this record as an argument
the Commissioners can make a strong
showing before Congress for the pro-
curement of new law such as that
which Maj. Pullman has urged, and the
enactment of which will unquestionably
result in a great saving of life in the
District

Money and Elections.

The charge that the republicans are
preparing to buy the election with Wall
street money will probably have little
effect in the campaign.
It is very likely that both parties are
. we'll "heeled" for the fray. At any rate
such an impression widely prevails, and
is quoted as accounting for the pressure
from local managers for assistance from
the national managers.
Are the times not propitious for large
col1ections7 Money is in abundance.
Everybody reveling at all is reveling in
big figures. The war has sent hundreds
of millions of dollars to our shores; and
the great wealth has not gone in one
direction. Democrats, republicans and
bull moosers-not as such, but as men of
business-have shared in the food.
Wall street is not of one way of think
ing politically at this time. 1t never is.
It was not even in 1896, when the para
mount issue appealed so strongly to capi
talists and spectators. Mr.. Bryan had
some friends doing business in what was
then called ''the money devils lair"
And Mr.. Wilson today has friends
there, not to mention the number of very
some from another-who have his con-
fdence and are devoted to his fortunes
The probability is that on a show of
pennies Chairman Mccormick would
stack up even with Chairman Wilcox.
But both chairmen need money in
quantities. Canvassing the United States
is a gigantic job. Strong as party
pride is, and active as so many are dur
ing a campaign, nobody works for moth
ing, or "on tick" A chairman must not
only pay literally, but pay as he goes.
Mr.. Bryan and his friends after their
defeat in 1896 charged that the election
had been bought. Their assertion was
that the enthusiasm had all been with
their side, and that money in heaps had
been employed to give the victory to the
other side. But they took account only
of the enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan had un-
doubtedly had the most of that. But
there had been great numbers of men
making no noise at all-many of them
democrats beyond the reach of money
influences-who had gone to the polls
and voted for Mckinley because of the
conviction that his policies would be bet
ter in practice than Mr.. Bryan's. Still,
the old yarn persists that the election
in 1896 was bought with Wall street
money collected and lavishly expended

The Columbus Anniversary.

An eccentricity of types yesterday
caused The Star to refer to the 224th an
niversary of the discovery of America
by Columbus OF course, it was the
424th anniversary. 1t requires no spe-
cial calculation to deduce that fact.
Two hundred and twenty years ago,
or 200 years after the landing of Co
lumbus, that is to say in 1862, America
was in a process of settlement or colo
nization The newcomers were landing
here and there along the Atlantic coast
and gaining a foothold,. struggling
against the elements and the savages
for their homesteads. Those first 2oo
years which were inadvertently dropped
out of the reckoning yesterday were
years of slow preparation for the won
derful development that was to come.
The real history of America has been
written since then, in the creation OF
colonial spirit among the settlers and
the laying of the foundations for the
great movement for independence which
came three quarters of century later.
Nevertheless, it was the actual reaching
of these shores by the Genoese explorer
that made these developments. possible.
True, the Norsemen had landed here long
before and had departed. Nothing came
of their discovery of the western contl-
nent 1t remained for Columbus to
carry back to Europe the tidings of a
new world within comparatively easy
sailing range That word spread through
western Europe. and many adventurous
ones went forth to profit by the dis
