WASHINGTON. Pa, Nov. 6.-"ash-
inEton and Jcfferson's ends and tackles
were drilled for more than an hour this
afternoon in breaking interference form
ed by n strengthened scrub eleven in q
mock" scrimnaee that came as close 10
the real thing as any that has been
staged this year. Apparently the
coaches have in mial the much-h"rald-
ed Pitt interference which Washington
and Jefferson encountered to its sorrow
last season and whch has spelt defeat
for many team in the past two years.
Washington and Jefferson Is we'll equip
ped with wing tt.-- this year and the
coaches have been having them drive in

up their defense to the pInth"rS' wall
Of protection for the man with tho
ball.
It was a severe workout all around
for the Red and Black gTidd"rs. Regular

upon. In addition the coaches had a

indicated both BY the advance sal" at

Now that wheeling fans have round
out that Martins Ferry has agreed to
como to the Fair Ground for the game
Saturday with Linsly. they are taking
an added interest In the game. And the
fact that Linsly put It over on Wheel

the prospects for big attendance at
the Martins Ferry game little more
promising.

THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN

Some of our Democratic friends argue that the con-
sgressnan to be elected from the First district should be
q Democrat because the president of the United States
u . Democrat and, the country being at war, we should
stand by the president.
Tho reasoning 10 not conclusive. The district IL nor
mAlly Republican. 1t has been Republican all the time.
1t remained Republican in the last election, becauss
while in the election of a president the voters quite gen.
orally disregarded party lines, in the selection Of a mem
bsr Of congress they elected a Republican, as they had
done over and over again in tho past
This is no time for splitting party hairs If there
were any question about finding in the First district a Re-
publican who, as a member Of the house Of representa-
ttves, would stand by the president of the United States
through thick and thin in all the steps which it is neces-
sa1y for him to take in protecting the interests and main
tatning the honor of this nation, then The Herald would
say that by all means a member Of some other party
should be chosen.
But that situation does not exist. On the question
OF patriotic support Of the. administration no party
division exists in congress. and none exists in North Da-
kota. The president Is being given, rs he should be, the
loyal support Of both parties. And there is no question
that in either party there can be found many men who
would represent this district creditably in congress, and
upon whom the president could rely absolutely for sup
port in the great work In which he 10 engaged.

THE RED CROSS CHAPTER

The organization Of the Red Cross chapter in Grand
Forks is not the conclusion Of anything. It is just the
beginning. In the organization Of this chapter the peo-
pie of Grand Forks have supplied themselves with an IN
strumentality whose purpose it is to get work done, and
to correlate and systematic that work.
The officers chosen are keenly interested in this
work. and heartily in sympathy with 1t. Their selection
gives good promise for the success Of the organization.
Committees will be appointed to take care Of various de-
tails, and much will depend on the activity Of the per-
sons named on these committees.
But, after all. success depends finally on the inter-
est which the great body Of the people take in the work.
To succeed, the chapter must have members and money.
AT this time no large sums OF money are required. The
essential thing at present is the good will and personal
cooperation of a large number of individuals, ana the
groundwork for success will be laid If there is a ready
response to the invitation extended to the people at large
to join the society and pay the small dues which are re-
quired.
chapter at this time is the existence Of a state Of war
which may presently create a demand for relief work on
a large scale, and Of the precise character with which the
Red Cross has been associated so conspicuously and so
successfully in the past. It is the part Of wisdom to Or
ganize, now. before the need becomes imperative. The
Red Cross has been successful because of the magnitude
of its operations, because of the economy which has been
made possible by thorough decentralization, and be-
cause all its operations have become standardized in
some such manner as the work Of a great factory is
standardized. where machines are made under elaborate
specifications which result in the perfect interchangea-
bility of all the parts and consequent economy in assem-
bling and use.
1t is to be expected that the people of Grand Forks
will respond in this case as they always do when there
comes the call to public service.

You were telling me recently that

Know, n they work under ideal con-

be given to the ancient and honorable
office boy who would stay at the

There are hundreds Of other occu-
pations to which the same idea could
be applied with wonderful results.
Take, for instance, the ordinary posi-
ton Of husband. Good husbands
aren't appreciated as they should be.
A husband may receive wifely praise
for his sanity attributes-and he may
not. A good, kind, proved husband
should be decorated with a mark Of
honor. He could be permitted to
