Unusual Incidents
That Haze Decided
CritiirOn Contests

T'HE Yale e-Boston College football
game of Saturday was replete
with unusual plays. Acosta's two
wild pasEes III succession were
chiefly responsible for the loss of the
game by Yale. 1t is most unusual
thing for centre to make two wild
passes in succession. Further the
safety resulting therefrom was the
first scored against Yale In the
bowl. AS far as can be learned it
was the first that has been made
against Yale team on a Yale field.
Another unusual feature of the
contest was the winning and losing
of the game in the second half
When Thorne Murphy kicked goal
from the 42-yard mark, victory for
Yale had apparently been clinched.
But Boston got back the lead and
won when Fitzpatrick registered his
45-yard kick.

fully and willingly. Their service is not over
looked.
Citations and decorations for special service
are to be highly esteemed especially so when
gives them sparingly and only after they have
been earned by extraordinary heroism. The
young men of this community who won them can
rightly be proud of the distinction
And the other hand, the young men who
exposed themselves to danger willingly, at the
command of their officers and without reckon
ing the COST need not feel chagrined because they
did not receive badge of distinction. They also
did their duty we'll, and the community is proud
of them. If they had not been willing to face
danger and execute the command of their super
Tors, the war would never have been won. The
satisfaction arising from the execution of orders
is just as great as the distinction browning some
special exploit.
Perhaps the most significant feature attach
ing to the receipt of citations and decorations is
ceedingly retcent about telling of the exploit
The men usually are very modest about their
honors and frankly say, "The other fellow could
have done it as we'll as 1 did" Such modesty
is fine commentator for the whole service It

General Pershing and Popularity

The return of General Pershing has been &C
companied by the publication of many columns
of personal stories of the great leader and of ac
counts of his work in helping to organize victory
in France. The informed writer's agree that the
general did not become idol to his men; was
never very popular personally. Talk of presi-
Dental nomination died away to whisper imme-
diately after the boomers had opportunity to
talk with men who had been overseas. Don't
expect the returned soldiers to vote for any gen.
era for PRESIDENT the boys told inquirers. They
had in mind the resentments over the l,on-strict
discipline, felt universally by the doughboys.
But in spite of this lack of personal popular
itv, General Pershing did great work in e highly
creditable manner. He attended to business
most faithfully, and gave of his best.
It is easy to call to mind other men who, like
Pershing, have not won personal idolism. There
are Foch and Hag, for example. Neither of
these leaders is of the popular order, but both
Of consumnate ability. Grant and Sherman may
be included in this class.
In the realm of politics and craftsmanship,
how easy it is to name men Of ability who seem
remote perhaps bit cold. Elihu Root, Charles
E. Hughes, Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Will
son. all of them have failed to attain the personal
popularity which so distinguished Colonel Roose-
Welt
It is unjust to criticize blindly men Of this
cast of mind and temperament. They perhaps
would be glad to possess in greater degree the art
of pleasing and inspiring the masses. They can
not help it if they seem chilly when they actually
wish men to know of their real feeling of kindly
good will
Men who take life seriously and who devote
themselves to their work with single minded pur-
pose, are apt to seem sef-contaned. 1t takes a
clever man to carry on a big jub with one-halt

The Public is Overlooked

In almost every dispute between labor and
capital, the right of the public to protection Is
overlooked. Both sides enormously believe they
are the only parties to the controversy, the re-
suit being that the public too often receives little
justice in the settlement. 1t is time that repre-
sentatives of both classes realize the rights of the
people in disputes over economic problems.
Many failures to reconcile capital and labor
can be traced to the omission Of the third party
in the settlement If the public is forced to pay
increased prices for commodities service be-
cause its rights not considered unrest is
bound to follow Instead of settling the contro-
versy both parties have merely stored up future
trouble. Justice cannot be served if the third
party is entirely ignored.
Any effort to stabilize economic conditions
without giving the public just hearing and a
voice in the settlement is folly. The welfare of
the public as whole is paramount to that of
either labor capital. This principle should be
understood fully and serve as the basis of RENE
dial action.

Fasteners and the West

A story writer for of the popular eastern
periodicals recently referred to Ashtabula, O., as
a middle-western town. A New York newspaper
man spoke glowingly of Toledo as a hustlng
western city. When President Wilson reached
St. Louis the other day, big headline in New
York evening paper said: "Wilson Enters Far
West"
If Ashtabula twenty miles from the Pennsyl-
vana line, is in the middle west, and ST. Louis is
We crave information from our writing friends in
New York.
The truth of the matter is that Omaha is very
close to the geographical center of the nation,
and Denver is the place where the west really
begins. The middle western states lie between
the Mississippi and the Rocky mountains Hi
nois Indiana and Ohio should be called eastern
central states.
All this seems absurdly simple, but your av-
e1age New Yorker doesn't see it that way When
he gets beyond Philadelphia he feels that he is
on the frontier, and he even suspects that Phila-
delphia is primitive sort of place. A resident
of Pittsburg or Buffalo is to him middIe-west-
erner and when he uses that expression he is apt
to be just bit condescending about it. He may
forget for the moment that great many of the
men who making and keeping New York a
great American city were born somewhere be-
tween Pittsburg and San Francisco.
There is nothing new in calling New Workers
provincial. This provincialism has been known
for long time The surprising thing lies in the
fact that they do not wake up-that they keep
on making such errors as have been mentioned.
Their town is so big and interesting that they
underrate the rest of the country, but when they
travel to the west coast, how salutary is their
enlightenment!
