HARVARD CONFIDENT
After Watching Yale Make Sorry Showing Against Princeton. Crim-
 son Players Look for Easy Victory.

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 15.-Today the Harvard football forces were as- sembled in strongest front on Soldiers Field to start the last four days work out of the 1920 campaign.
 The regulars have not had any football since the final whistle blew in the Princeton game a week ago, all though two days last week were spent on earnest signaN drill. rho e~offense has been brought up to splendid sfi- ciency, the coaches think, and while this week the work or. rounding out and finishing in the attnck will con- tinuc, more time really will be spent in shaping up the Crimson defense for Saturdays game in the New Haven bowl.
 Six players who will be in the Iine- up when Saturdays game starts as we'll as seven coaches and all the scouts, were at Princeton for the Yale game, and the New Haven teams movements were followed carefully. Coach Fisher on his re- turn said that Yale played some rag ged Football. but lost most of the breaks. and he told his players they must expect a very different exhi- bition of football this week. There is no doubt, however, but that Harv- ards players feel much more conf- dent about beating Yale than they did last Friday night.

President-Elect or President-Desisn

Purists, linguistic and legal, are discussing
whether Senator Harding really is President-eIect.
which is the term NOW commonly applied to him
by writers. 1t is one of those ever recurring con-
tests between the group that stands by the letter
OF the law and those persons who take its spirit as
being supreme Technically, undoubtedly, he will
not be the President-elect until he is chosen by the
electoral college Actually, he is the President
designate by the will of a majority of the people
This dispute over the title of the Ohio "Presi-
dent-to-be will serve good purpose if it educates
citizens to a clearer understanding of the number
OF political vestigial remains" that adhere to the
removed when the next Federal Constitutional con-
vention is held whenever that may be- Its date
no doubt has been postponed somewhat by the
outcome of the election and the conservative reac-
ton which the country is passing through. Never
theless, some day there will be demand for such
a convention that will prove irresistible and then
the electoral college will be eliminated 1t was
created by men who were disposed to reduce to
minimum direct action of the electorate on as many
details OF government possible The college long
ago ceased to function But long as it has latent
authority it is possible source of trouble

"We are deadly in earnest about this. We are
both conservatives on the matter of government
ownership, but we absolutely disgusted with
This situation"
That is straight-out talk that will be approved
by all the people, even by those who, like the two
Senators originally, have been opposed to govern
ment entrenchment upon the field of private en-
terprise
The opinion is growing that private enterprise
reaches the point at which it must be curbed when
it undertakes public spoliation. The facts coneern-
ing the coal industry that have so suddenly turned
two conservative Senators into radicals are facts
that have long been impressed upon the ordinary
householder by the size of his coal bill If legis-
lation can correct them there will be no disap-
proval of that legislation because some utra-con-
servatives call it radical
But the corrective legislation must be we'll ma
tured and scientific. 1t is not encouraging to find
Senator Calder saying that "the coal operators
must be prepared to receive from the nation the
same sort of a blow which the real estate interests
and the landlords had received from the State"
Unhappy, the New York legislation for the
protection of tenants has proved of the very slight
est temporary value, and bids fair to be of posi-
tive detriment to the interests of tenants in the
long run. 1t did check the wholesale and heartless
'evictions which were threatened for October l.
But the provisions which intended to encour-
age future building have been declared unconstitu-
tonal by New York court, which has apparently
left as in accordance with the Constitution only
those clauses which will discourage the building of
houses for investment purposes.
Probably, however, Senator Calder spoke with
out>shue consideration of the effect of the New
York law. In his apparent purpose of evokng
whatever powers the lawmaking body may possess
to check and defeat the greed of those who control
the supply of coal for the people he will have the
very heartiest support

To Restore Oldest
House in America;
AT Beverly, Mass.

In an effort to save what is 3"

is being sought from the thousands

failed to- locate all of them.
The house, which was built about
1888, is still intact except for the
sills and the greater part of the
rafters. About 1850 1t was enlarged
by a two-story extension. and later
the original cottage was made a
full two stories in height, but with
careful restoration, this unique ex-
ample of an "Old Planters" home
can be preserved. Unless the de-

the house, came from Somerset

governor of New England. Theirs
was the first colony of settlers to

land. -Balch was among the orig

Salem, was made freeman of that
town in 1881. and figures promi-

According to earliest records the
energy and intelligence necessary

tiers, of whom Balch was one.

Neighbors That Count.

An elderly man whose opinion is considered
worth something in the community was asked the
other day what he thought were proper attributes
of "the people next door,"
And he said:
"Ive been living here for nearly forty wears.
Folks on either side Of US have come and gone
The people like best for neighbors are those who
do these things: They keep the place neat and
clean, favor repainting once in a while; hang out
washing every Monday morning; Tuesday is
ironing day
They'll lend their lawn mower if you'll bring
it back. They'll do the same with pinch of salt
or an egg or cup of -four. They will go out of
their way to do favor They like little children
and appreciate that none perfect They keep
the garbage can covered, and keep the chickens in
their yard and not in ours. They are not too
curious about who comes and goes at our house
They mind their own business an excellent trait
What the grocer brings in or the laundryman
carries out doesn't interests them They are not
snoopy; if, once in while, there's good deal of
noise at our house, they don't telephone that they
are about to call the police. They are appreciatye
kindly, companionable, neighborly
They live as nearly by the Golden Rule as is
humanity possible, guess. And that being SO, we
do the same. 1t is good plan: Don't stone your

will stone yours"

York was one of the original
counties into which Virginia was
divided in 1884. In 17o5 it was es-
tablished as a town, and laid out
in streets by Thomas Nelsan (the
founder of the Virginia family of

Temple Farm (Which was the resi-

in the boundaries of Yorktown.
On this farm, on the bank OF the
river, about a mile below the town,
is the building known as 'Moore's
House." in which the terms of the
surrender of the army OF CORVALLIS
were arranged by the commission
ers of the two armies. At the time
of the capituiation the house was
in possession Of one Widow Moore.
The surrender Of Lord CORVALLIS
took place on October 19, 17S1.
which was the anniversary of the
surrender of Burgoyne in 1777, four
years previous.
