NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Brown and
Colgate universities viii put the last
touches to the rev edges they have
filed on their cleats today. Thurs.
day they will come together in what
all experts except Lieutenant Daily Of
the Army and Glenn Warner OF Pitts
burgh say is the battle for the east
ern championship,
Just how Colgate could figure in 4
championship is not stated, but it is
an undisputed fact. even by Warner
and Daily that Brown stands right at
the top and will continue to shoulder
Pittsburgh and Army around all win
ter and up to next fall.
Colgate went into training today at
Mansfield, Mass, where the men will
be given a hard scrimmage and a
rest tomorrow. Browns heavy work
is over.
Lieutenant DAILY Of West Point has
come out with a declaration that the
Army is the best team in the coun-
try.
Taking this as a claim to cham
pionship honors, it viii have to be
admitted there Is little to argue
about and in fact something to sub
stantiate the claims of the West
Point coach. The Annapolis boys
came within point of defeating
Pittsburgh, but fell before the Army
attack by q one-sided score. Consid-
ering this, it is permissible to figure
the Army at least as strong as Pitts
burgh.

Pauline Frederick is again seen in the
role OF the self-secrificing wife in 'Lyd-
ia Gilmore" the photoplay made from
Henry Arthur Jones' stage drama which
is being shown as the chief feature at
Loew's Columbia Theater the first part
of this week. As was the case in
Sold" Miss Frederick has a part that
claims the sympathles OF her audience
at the start and gives her opportunity
for the display Of her ability to build
up a strong character from one that has
shown itself weak.
The story OF the drama tells Of a
young English girl forced TO marry a
worthless man by her mother. The hus-
band neglects the wife and finally
shoots the husband of a woman with
whom he had been flirting while making
a clandestine whit to the woman 5
home. He is charged with murder and
the prosecutor is the man his wife
has learned she really loves. She has
promised not to testify against her
husband, however. and a court room
scene of great strength Is the result.
Vincent Serrano. the very capable
actor nobody remembers having seen in
n photoplay here before. plays the
part of the husband, and Thomas Hold
ing appears as the sweetheart. The
Paramount travel pictures and Vita
graph comedy completes the program.

MR.. BRYAN A CONVERT

, Is William jennings Bryan,
apostle of peace-at-any price, weak
ening? Yesterday while President
Wilson was hurrying back to Wash
ington to inquire into further sub
marine indignities, Mr.. Bryan
seemed to be explaining, before the
Pan-American- Scientific Congress. a
plan for defense at bargain rates.
His idea seems to be to do away
with American preparedness and
substitute Pan-American prepared
ness, and thus reduce the cost of de-
fense to all American republics.
Here is a sentence from his dis
cussion of the preparedness issue:
"This evolution of the Monroe doc
trine, enforced by the United States
alone, into a Pan-Americanism, sup
ported by all American republics
jointly, will not only insure solidarity
of sentiment, but will, by the union
of their strength, lessen the expendi-
lures necessary for their protection
from possible attempted invasion"
This may not make out Of Mr..
Bryan a whole-hearted disciple of a
reasonable national defense. But it
gives hope that a few rays Of light
on the question Of preparedness for
possible attempted invasion" may
have entered his peace loving soul.
In the same address he is found
advocating the plan of bankers and
economists for a single monetary
unit in all the American republics.
Since all but ten Of the republics
now have a gold standard, and those
ten are working toward that end, il
is reasonable to assume that Mr..
Bryan, along with others, would
have this unit the American gold
dollar.
Anyway, his views on the none
tary question take this form just ten
years from the time when he was
found most earnestly advocating that
the United States flock all by itself
in the matter of monetary stand
ard.
Therefore the question arises: ten
years from now what will Mr.. Bryan
think about pTsPSSsdasASI

MAKING A CONVICT INTO A MAN

A Sing Sing convict escaped last
week from the prison and went back
to New York and his old haunts. There
was no man-hunt to get him arrested
and returned to solitary confinement
on bread and water. The other pris-
oners, deprecating this dishonorable
conduct, declared their humiliation
over it; they recognized it as making
harder, the Osborne policy of treat
ing them like humans, and giving
them a decent chance.
The escaped prisoner didn't enjoy
his liberty. The old friends Of his
criminal past gathered around and
urged him to go back to the prison; it
was unfair to himself, to the new
policy, to other prisoners, for him to
bring the system into any measure
of disrepute by running away mere
ly because new liberties to the men
made it possible.
So he boarded a train, rode back
to prison, and walked into the war
den's Office to give himself up. He
was glad to be back; everybody was
glad to see him there. He had had
a. real lesson in the manly art Of
doing the fright thing"
That little story sounds as if
prison reform had been accomplish
ing some mighty real results. True,
Warden Osborne is under indictment
for his reforms; a grand jury in
dicted him. In return, public senti-
ment has indicted the grand jury
and the political ring that inspired
it; and the political ring is already
convicted, while it is pretty certain
Osborne never can be.

THE PENNsY'S GREAT RECORD

The Pennsylvania railroad an
noUnces the close of She third sue
cessive, year in which not a single
fatal accident has befallen a pas
senger on its Eastern system. In
the past two years ON its entire
mileage, East and West, not a
single passenger has lost his life;
and there were 361, ,572,114 of them;
three and two-thirds az many as
the entire population of the United
States.
Very real results have been ac-
complished in recent years in max
ing travel safer; and he country
owes it's gratitude to the Pennsyl-
vania for taking and holding the
lead in such efforts.
When organization and efficiency
can attain such results in a corpora
ton whose personnel makes up an
army, it is encouraging to people
who believe this nation is also ca
pable of that other sort of organi-
zation and efficiency, just now so
much in the public thought, which
will insure the national safety
against aggression from the out
side world.

MR. roRp,s PATnRTIc LAMENT

Henry Ford, back from his
quixotic trip to Europe, is sad. He
thought that the militaristic rulers
were making this war; he has
learned that the people are doing it.
There is a vast difference. The peo-
pie of revolutionary France made
those wonderful wars that almost
conquered a Europe whose peoples
for long time were indisposed to
fight the French effort for freedom.
It was not until the French revolu-
ton became a monarchy, that the
peoples could be effectively arrayed
against it.
Mr.. Ford adds confession. He
says that republics are no better
than monarchies; the people allow
their rulers to do the ruling without
interfering. If that were true-and
It is not entirely, as witness the case
of Great Britain-it would be rather
a testimony to efficiency of republics
in times of stress, such as we have
feared they did not possess.
1--WE do not assert ourselves" Mr..
Ford regretfully finds. 81 have been
a voter thirty-one years, and in all
that time have voted only six
times, and then because my wife
made me-"
This ought to help the suffrage
propagandists. Here is a man who
sought leadership in great world
movement, now indulging introspec-
ton that convinces him he has not
really been a good citizen. 1t is a
lesson that millions need to learn.
