FOUR VALE MEN ON
 ALL-COLLEGE TEAM
Ralph Morgan Selects Premier Bas-
 ketbaiI Five.

Ralph Morgan. who knows evey- thin gahout basketball, has picked an all-Co1lege five, which includes four of the Yale team. and one from Prince ton, Haas. The reasons adduced by NIT. Morgan in nominating his mytni- cal-not so mythical. by the way, as it might be-f1ve are sound and con- yincing.
 Here is the team:
 Ortner. Cornell forward
 Kinney, Yale, forward.
 Jefford Pennsylvania, center.
 Taft, Yale, guard.
 Haas, Princeton. guard.
 Ortner of Cornell. is practically as good a scorer as Kinney. and besides is dated as the Yale mans superior de- fensively. Kinney. of course. needs no comment. or if such need is felt, see above Jeford q jump man pure and simple was not noted for getting the tap on any center he faced; but he was strong. steady. reliable and sure in all deDartments of floor work Taft, of Yale. is one of the best guards who ever played the game and he was the rock upon which the Yale five was bounded Haas. of Princeton, was probably the most brilliant all around player ir the league.

It looks as if Howie Baker made a mistake in not reporting to the Giants last season. The Giants were in need of infielders then and Howie might have held a job as substitute infielder anyway.

HISTORY
OF
Morgan County
From its Formation down to
the present day
Written by H w Summer
Continued from Last Week.

Continued from Last Week.
Morgan County is situated on
the Cumberland Plateau which
has an elivation from about 800 to
200 feet above sea level. 1t is
surrounded by the counties OF
Scott, Anderson, Roane, Cumber-
land and Fentress. The greater
PORTION of the surface is very brok-
IN, especially in the eastern part.
Tho principal mountains are the
Crab Orchard, Lone, Pilot Emory.
Big and Little Brushy. The gen.
eral trend of which is about the
same as that of the Cumber
and range. The principol streams
are the Emory and Obed rivers
tributary to the Tennessee river,
md the Clear Fork and the White
Oak tributary tn the Cumberland
the water shed being practically in
rhe center of the county, with a
general trend of northeast and
>outh west.
The mineral resources consist in
extensive deposites of coal. The
ontire area of the county is uuder-
laid with stratas of GOAL of an ex-
cellent quality. The stratas are
from three to sixteen in number.
A norton of these stratas are now
being developed along the eastern
border of the county which is pen
5trated by the hartman q North
eastern Railroad.
The State is IKE owner of about
1000 acres of fine coal lands in
this county, which is also covered
by a virgin forest, heavily covered
with popular and other valuable
timber and upon which is located
5rushy Mt. Branch prison. The
eastern portion of the county is
also penetrated by branch of the
southern and the L q N railroads
extending from Oliver Springs.
The Southern railroad reaches the
Big Mountain coal mines, the Pru-
dental Coal Company, the Popular
Creek Coal company and the But
ler Coal Mining Co, as we'll as nu-
merous small mines.
The G N o Ct P Ry Co, or
the .sQueen and Crescent Route"
penetrates the county near the GEN.
ter north and south. extending from
Cincinnati to New Orleans and
along this route are the evidences
of good deposits of coal.
The Morgan & fortress Rail
way Co.'S line extends from Memo
westward, via. Catoosa, for about
ten miles, and near Catoosa has re-
Gently been developed coal mines
which are proving to be profitable.
The most valuable deposits of
coal are in the mountain range
around the head of Emory river.
As yet this field has not been de-
but exposures show that
there is vast peposit of this coal
covering an area of 10000 acres
of four to six veins ranging in
thickness from three to seven feet
on the surface. This mountain
range is covered with valuable
timber consisting of the different
varieties of oak, chestnut, bass
wood, hickory, beech, maple, etc.,
the poplar and walnut having been
practically removed years ago.

Respectfully Referred
to the Adjutant General
For Adjudication

Santa Fe. Sept. 20, 1917
Editor New Mexican:
| have heard many comments on the ar
ticle in your issue of Sept. 21st, regarding
the wearing of the U. S. Army Uniform"
In your article you say the law prohibits
wearing of any clothes resembling the
u. s. uniform, and If this is true, will you
please answer a few foolish questions ON
this subject?
How about the army style hats, now be-
ing shown in our store windows, also the
Munson army shoe, tan puttee leggings,
KHAKI riding breeches and brown flannel
shirts?
The aforementioned articles of clothing
are sold in all upto-date clothing stores
in the country, and are worn by thousands
Of men everywhere in the United States.
In fact, an outfit Of this kind has become
universal costume for auto tourists and
campers, and still, according to your ar
ticle, a man is liable to be "pinched' for
wearing them, as all, or any part of the
above articles of clothing resemble" the
u. S. army uniform.
Will you kindly straighten this matter
out, through your paper, and in doing so,
keep several hundreds of Santa Ee citizens
out Of Jail, or at least set their troubled
minds at rest?
Very truly yours,
M. G. PRAY.

When 1t Will End

The war will end when the kaiser and the
German government reach the stage
where they will no longer attempt to keep
up the attitude of unparalleled hypocrisy
once again demonstrated in the German re,
ply to the pope's peace note. 1t will come
when Berlin, already revealed absolutely
and nakedly to the entire world in her off
cial treachery and duplicity, consents to
drop the flimsy and tattered disguise and
negotiate in frankness and sincerity for
peace when she bows to the unanimous
judment Of guilty pronounced upon her by
all nations, admits the crinees which for
three years have shrieked to heaven, and
comes as a suppliant and not as an attempt
ed dictator.
The kaiser still filings his monstrous lie
in the face of God and the world that the
war was forced on him against his will.
Every repetition of this astounding false
hood compounds his worldwide felony and
adds a separate offense to the long and
bloody list. So long as this German atti-
tude exists, so long is it worse than si-
premest folly to consider parleying with the
enemy of human happiness.

Making Some Progress

In the course of one of its weekly editor.
ials calling attention to the fact that the
Santa Fe New Mexican is the little end
OF nothing whitfield down to a point and
sawed off, that it doesn't amount to a
tinker's justly celebrated dam, never did
and never will, is absolutely negligible, un-
noticeable, inconsiderable, a political non
entity and a journalistic zero, the erudite
Las Cruces Citizen, through which many
interesting short-order views are aired to
an expectant world, says:
Apparently they believe their one mis-
sion here on the earth is to reform and edu-
cate the entire population Of New Mexico,
which would be all right if the people at
tempting the reform and education were
competent, either morally or mentally. I'm.
fortunately, they are not"
Y Now, frankly, we ought to admit that
we have found the task of reforming the
Las Cruces Citizen one for which the New
Mexican is, alas, not competent. We might
state, however, that we have had a modi.
cum of success in the work of educating
it; not as gratifying as might be, because
OF the extreme density Of its osseous text
ure; but nevertheless encouraging. A few
important rudimentary facts have been in.
culcated; particularly at the last election.
The net showing, of course, has been small;
but every little helps; and in the course
of time we hope to be able to point with
real pride to the achievements of this ex.
tremely backward pupil. Constant drop
ping will wear away the stone, even though
it be reinforced concrete land we have
hopes that perseverance and patience on
our part will in due course begin to develop
in the class Ounce at least a counterfeit
~presentment of human intelligence.
Meanwhile the amusement and entertain.
ment derived fully compensate for the ef-
fort.

the superstition that there was something
unbeatable and battling about the German
safeguards for official secrets.

Should Keep Its Shirt On

Congress need not throw too violent a
fit as the result of Representative Helms
allegation that If it were necessary he could
pin a few iron crosses on members of the
greatest deliberative and the greatest con-
yersational bodies in the world. 1t is not
a dead secret that there are men in both
houses who to speak with the most extreme
charity, are open to vague suspicion as to
the place of their sympathies in Americas
war. AS a matter of fact there are several
who have made their attitude SO plain thar
there can be little dispute about 1t.
The idea of our vehemently protesting
solons seems to be that it is inconceiyable
that any member of either house could nave
been knowingly influenced by the organi-
cation financed by Herr Won Bernstorff's
$4,000 slush fund. Why not be frank and
admit the possibility that everybody is moi
as innocent as a sucking dove? When
a man gets so far as to openly seek to
cripple Americas fight for democracy, isn't
it prima facie evidence that he is capable
of any kind of corruption? And isn't a
man who gives his allegiance to the kaiser
