NAVY HASN'T SCORED
TOUCHDOWN ON ARMY
SINCE 1907 GAME
BY HAMILTON

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
New York. Nov. l4.-When the
Army and Navy football teams go in
to action for their annual meeting at
the Polo Grounds on Nov. IS, there
will be a goal besides victory for
whict, the Navy probably will play as
hard as for victory.
Victory can come by drop-kicks,
place-kicks or safeties, but touch
| down is a touchdown, and the Navy
hasn't put over one OF that kind Of
scores on the Army since 1907 when
Capt Ben Douglas had the pleasure
OF falling over the Army goal line
The middies have a stronger scor-
| ing team this year than has repre-
sented the Annapolis school for some
| time. so it is reasonable to believe
they will be able to put dent in
the cadets goal. They were equal
to the task OF shaping a close score
| against the powerful Pittsburgh
eleven. and with this to go on 1t is
hard to see how the Army will be
| able to hold them entirely free from
a touchdown
Many a football star has had a
chance to plant football between
the Army goal posts for the Navy
since Douglas laid over that touch
down. but four classes have ambled
| their way through the school and out
into their duties aboard Uncle Sans
battleships without seeing the Navy
teams accomplish that touchdown.
Defeat hasn't been their lot in
those intervening years every year.
Field goals have brought the future
! admirals victory three times in the
seven games played since then. In
1908 LANCE kicked goal from place
| ment, but the Navy lost. 6 to 1. field
goals counting four points at that
stage Of football. The 1909 game
| was called off because of death at
West Point. In 1910 Dalton booted
one over the Army goal posts and
the Navy won, 3 to 0. In 1911 Dali
ton repeated his stunt and the Navy
won by the same score Brown made
two field goals in the 1912 game and
the middies won their third con-
secutive victory. 6 to 0.
The 1912 game was the last to go
to Annapolis. In 1913 Brown three
| times sent the oval over the Army
goal posts. but 1t wasn't enough, the
Army winning. 23 to 8. In 1914 and
1915 the Army won.

READERS OF THIS PAPER
The Presentation of Heart Songs"
q New Idea for q Newspaper-The
Work Has 500 Large Pages.

The remarkable Offering by the
Pioneer of the now famous song book,
entitled Heart Songs" announce
ment Of which appears today else
where In this paper. should be a
source OF sincere congratulation to
both publisher and reader.
Already more than hundred
thousand copies OF this unique VOL
ume have gone into the homes Of
the young people OF the United
States at the publishers retail price
Of two dollars and half per volume.
The merits Of the book are such that
the sales are steadily ON the increase
and In the ordinary course of bust
ness the book would attain an enor-
nous circulation.
Upon our first approaching the pub
fishers with a proposition to allow us
in effect to make gift OF it to our
readers, we met with cold recep-
ton. But subsequently plan was
developed whereby syndicate Of the
largest and most influential newspa-
pers in the country entered into an
agreement with the makers OF the
book, so that several hundred thou
sand copies might be allotted to the
readers Of the respective papers for
practically the bare cost Of distri-
button.
From day to day. beginning with
this issue, this paper will publish new
features connected with Heart
Songs" until all its marvellous at
fractions arc set forth to our readers.
1t is Of universal interest and there
is no member Of the family but will
find something Of fascination and
genuine interest between its covers.
AS we state elsewhere. we believe
the distribution Of this book will ac-
complish a work Of education of the
very highest character. and our Of
fering may fairly be called a testi-
monial to the thousands OF men and
| women who read our columns daily.
The work has five hundred large
pages. and comprises four hundred
selections, words and music. 1t is
to be had by this papers readers on
presentation Of one coupon clipped
from this paper, and the bare cost
Of distribution. Books in both styles

DOMESTIC TRADE.

The department OF commerce has
just issued its monthly summary OF
exports and imports for the month
of September. That statement shows
that we sold to foreign countries
1851, 100000 more than we pur-
chased from them. Including Can
ada in the list OF nations at war. this
balance in our favor can be account
ed for entirely by our trade growing
out of the war in Europe. In fact
no other deduction is possible in
view Of the reports OF the depart
ment Of commerce in 1914, showing
that after the Democratic tariff law
got into full swing and before the
outbreak Of the war In Europe. the
balance Of trade was against us.
Just think for a moment what this
balance Of 1851 100000 in one month
means to the United States 1t is a
fact we'll known in business that a
dollar thrown into trade is turned
over about IL times in a year. The
farmer who sells a thousand dollars
worth Of wheat for export to Europe
pays his money to his local mer-
chants. machinery dealers, lumber
deale1J, automobile agents. etc. They
in turn, pay 1t out in wages or for
materials and 1t goes to the factories
to pay laborers, who spend it for
rent and provisions.
During the last fiscal year our
trade balance was $4,000. 1000
which. in the course Of a year, would
mean an increase Of domestic trade
to the extent of not less than S24,-
100000. These are facts which must
be plainly apparent to any man who
knows the simplest principles OF
business. and yet during the recent
political campaign. Democratic pub.
licity agents denied that our present
prosperity Isl due to the war in
Europe.

THE BRIDGE.

Tho city Of Bemidjl Is spending
over $4,000 for bridge to span the
inlet Of the Mississippi river on the
Nymore highway.
The Bridge is not large and Be-
midi should secure an excellent
bridge for the money expended.
But
A controversy has arisen between
the contractors who are constructing
tho bridge and city officials. The
contractors desire to make changes
in the plans Of the bridge and speci-
f1cations.
Tom Swinson. city engineer, is op-
posed to the changes wanted by the
contractors. We believe that Mr..
Swinson Is right. He has proved to
be an honest. conscientious, capable
city engineer and we believe that he
is doing all that is in his power &c
see that Bemidji secures hundred
cents on a dollar" bridge. He Is de-
termined to see that Bemidji gets
everything that it is supposed to have
and that the bridge is constructed
safe and sound.
The bridge contractors, among the
changes desired, want to use seven
eighths steel instead OF an inch and
a quarter as provided for in the con-
tract. They say that seven eighths
steel is sufficient. Again they want
to use only few pilings on one end
etc 1t is sufficient. they say.
We urge every citizen Of Bemidji
TO back up Mr.. Swinson and demand
that the specifications be lived up to
in detail. The city council. every
member. should back Mr.. Swinson in
his objections to changing the bridge
at this time.
We congratulate Mr.. Swinson on
his stand and we will support him tC
the best Of our ability.

1--WE have had woman's suffrage for
many years, and to the credit of our
men l must say we have never had
any fights Of any kind at voting
