BERKELEY TEAM HAS LONG
 SEASON
(By' Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Cal. 19.-The question of shortening the football season in California is now before the various colleges and athletic clubs of the statel as the result of a recommendation made by Johnny Stroud, graduate manager of the University of Cali fornia here, that at least month be cut from the playing season Stroud believes the players get stale" when they are kept in constant training over three months.
 Look at Californias case" Stroud declared. "We reached the height ed and defeated Washington. We won that game with ease Then the St. Mary's varsity came along and beat us. After that we tried Oregon and were again defeated.
 "We have the longest gridiron in the United States here in Berkeley. The varsity turns out around tire third week in August, and the boys keep at it hammer and tongs until Thanks giving day or later. It is asking too much of the players to expect them to win, after they have gone through three months of the hardest sort of football"
 Previous to the break with Stan ford and California ended her season in the first or second week of No vember. The Washington contract at first called for two games, which pro longed the season couple of weeks. The Pacific conference program call ed for longer season still, and Stroud figures that some definite limit should be set

To the Public

We have read with much care the newspaper reports of the long speech made on the floor of the miners convention yesterday, having for it's object the published statement of the coal operators! We have looked in vain for de- nial of the charges made in our statement. The speech is the usual agitator's speech, composed of misrepresentations and abuse It is full of appeal to passion and prejudice, and of incorrect statements intended to influence the public. The speaker we'll knows that the coal operators do not operate coal yards, and his statement about the price of coal being the same at all coal yards was intended to create wrong impression and prejudice the public against the coal opera tors He knows that the coal operators sell coal in carload lots only, and sell to both the consum- CTS and the coal yards, and having sold it. they have nothing further to do with it's disposition He also misrepresents the situation about teach CTS in the public schools, and knew that he mis- represented it when he made the statement. He msrepresents the facts when he says that the miners have not talked strike. They have not talked anything else for nearly two months

THEY INTEND TO STRIKE

There is not a ten-year-old boy living within five miles of any mining village that does not know that there is to be a strike although not one knows just what excuse will be used for calling the strike. It has been the only subject of general discussion at all gatherings, and the speculation is not whether there is to be strike or not but to what extent the strike will be SUD- ported. The statement by the same speaker that there had been no strike since the attempts to organize the miners in this district are untrue, and he must know they were untrue, because he, himself went to the Maxine mine of the Pratt Consolidated Coal Company, and called off strike, and the delegates from Maxine knew that when he stated there had been no strikes that he was stating that which was not true He knows also that on the 18th of July the miners at Praco struck because some of the men re- fused to join the union. The delegates from that district knew that he was misrepresenting facts when he stated there had been no strikes.

PRIMITIVE PAINTING

The Art World for February calls attention to the interest taken in America in primitive paintings of the various countries, Chnai Italy Germany the Netherlands, etc Time was, it remarks, that:
 New York used be a cold toward all old pictures except those by artists of established fame but the tide is changing Of late the number of people who have succumbed to the austere charm of the prmitives has that exhibitions which would have had patrons thirty forty well attended and well patronzed. For instance, the exhibit made year ago by MT Bagge of Copenhagen, who had got together large collection of Greek ikons and religious paint ngs during his travels in the Levant, not only appreciated as bit for the vrtuosos but successful financially Last month a sale of old pictures be- longing the Rev. Dr. Nevn of Rome and Mrs Sayres of Bethlehem Penn, called out goodly num- Der of buyers. At the galleries of MT. Satnover prm tives in the majority; he appears to make speciality of early work by different nations Most curious is Obstacle Dance by Peter Aertsen, Holander who painted in very individual style, with abundant anguiarty and strong colorinS the sports of the lower orders of the Netherlands Not than dozen of his pictures known, while many have been falsely assigned him. The National dam has his Egg Dance, a performance in which eggs and other objects scattered the floor in order to show the dancers cleverness; Frankfort Main has Market Scene and Vienna Dance of the Peasants. The picture in the Satnover Galleries represents lusty youth and handsome peasant woman dancing together the floor of kitchen which various objects have been artfully adjusted with the intention of tripping them. The middle dis tance is occupied by onlookers old and young. A bagpiper is a table in the background and large stuffed own is against the wall Through the window and door in the rear is glimpse of village Grace of line and deicacy of cooring not to be expected but there is here sturdy vigor of action and a power in rendering varied characters which force respect the artist despite large of crudty.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
The Riqhts of Men

The declaration of American lndepen- dence affirms that among the self-evl- dent truths are these: That all men are created equal; that they are en- doWed by their Creator with certain un- alienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- ness" The institution of governments deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, is for the sole purpose of securing these heaven-born gifts.
 All state courts recognize these prin- ciples in deciding pending cases. For instance: Justice Henshaw of the Cal ;fornia supreme bench had this to say concerning law enactment of io3o: A mans constitutional liberty means more than his personal freedom It means, with many other rights, his right freely to labor, and to own the fruits or ms toll"
 Such decisions are well justified, not only in common law, but also in consti- tutional statutes of the entire country, and by the foundation of our Christian religion as well. Thus the supreme au- thor of our being declares that 1t IS He that giveth thee power to get wealth." Deut. SIS.
 But by what operation is this God given power bestowed? Man enters the world without aid of any kind except the endowment of life, which includes the promise of time in which to work Intellect develops through the educa- tional use made of the time allotted. Health and strength depend on the cul- tivation of sound principles Of physical energy. But life itself which means duration of days, is Gods gift by which men have power to get wealth, and pur- sue happiness.
 This being so without any question, would it not seem strange that any hu- man authority should assume to dictate to what use ones time should be driven into action? 90 long as one does not trench in his course upon the natural rights of others, he has not trans gressed any proper civil requirement. and therefore cannot be justly held in restraint regarding the use of his al- lotted days.
 Blackstone. in section two of the in- troduction to his Commentaries on the laws of England,' states this principle among others: This la wof nature. be- ing coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is of course superior 1T obligation to any other? It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, ano at all times. No human laws are ol any validity if contrary to this: ano such of them as are valid derive al their authority mediately or mediate F., from this original" The great orig inator of constitutional principles fur ther says: Those rights, then, whicf God and nature have established, ano are therefore called natural rights, suct as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectu- ally invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any addl-

FIGHTING OUR BATTLEsp

If mlitarist absolutism should far be victorious as to destroy France and England the United States would thenceforth be the only first class power in the world denying the divine right of kings and pro- claiming the doctrine the right life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, far from being creation of government is antecedent government and is it's moral justification. This is what is by men like Elihu Root when they say that France and England fighting battle for us. To argue the point overmuch with those who deny it is waste of words.
