C0NY'S CHANCES CHAMPIONSHIP
CONTEST Shattered BY ACTION
SCHOOL BOARD ENDING Season

All chances Of post season con-
test for the Cony high grid warriors,
and all chances of this seasons won
dcrful football machine gaining wi
der honers on their merits and by
games played and won. seem to have
been sent glimmering, by the repor-
ted action of the Augusta Board OF
Education, when they voted Monday
evening that the local high schools
football season should end with the
game next Saturday against Gardiner
high.
This is a sad blow to the boys of
the squad, to the student body. and
to alumni and supporters of the
school team, who believe that Cony
has got one OF the strongest, perhaps
the strongest, aggregations in the
high schools of the State this year.
and that they should make every et-
fcrt to take on contests which would.
serve to decide championship honors.
The members of the team were eager
lt) meet any high school claimants
fol state championship. confident
that the red and white eleven would
be returned victors and bring honor
to the school and city.
1t is understood that Principal
Quimby favored such a contest or
series of contests if necessary, ana
that he was ready to offer South
Portland a substantial guarantee to
play here Nov. 18th. lie was also
about to communicate with SkoWhc-
gan high officials in regard TO q
game on any favorable cate.
1t seems unfortunate that the ac-
ton Of the School Board should fer
! inmate the prospects of Cony high
gaining the state wide honor. that
followers of the seasons record are
confident the eleven was capchle of
winning on the merits of the well
coached and disciplined football
team of this season.
Friends of the school Will yet hope
that the action of Monday evening is
rot final. and that when the members
os the Board understand the sttua-
ton more fully, and the sentiment OF
student body and citizens, they will
permit one or two title clashes to be
bI ought about here.

JAY
SPORT
CHAT

Inability to secure boxers OF de-
sirable timber has forced the officials
of the Augusta Athletic Club to post
pone it's opening bout originally
scheduled for November 10, to one
week later. The Utah Kid who suf-
fered an injury to one of his business
paws in a recent bout at Waterville,
had been selected as one of the top
liners, but as he will not be in trim
for several weeks, other likely boys
are being considered. Delay in sign
ing up the scrappers is due mainly
to the desire to match up boys who
can deliver the goods.
1t is understood that arrangements
have been made whereby the inter-
ests of the Augusta Athletic Club
will be looked after in Boston by a
matchmaker of known standing. This
should guarantee fine service for the
tistic fans about the Capital City this
winter.

DO YOUR OWN THINKING.

To have an opinion, take sides, argue, rs legitimate;
II is American 20 be partisan, as it is American to
abide by the decisions of the majority.
To argue by telling a lie to support ones argument
is to indulge in dirty propaganda, with which no clean
minded man wants to be concerned.

those who think it is for The best interests of Amer

All this, because enemies of the hin say it VIII in

Here is the answer; the demonstrating bin spe-
officially states:
"An the educational facilities encouraged by the
provisions Of this net and accepted by a state shall be
organized, supervised and administered exclusively by
the legally constituted state and local educational au-
thorities of said state, and the secretary of education
shall exercise no authority in relation thereto; and
this act shall not be construed to imply federal con-
troll of education within the states, nor to impair the
freedom of the states in the conduct and management

The brick mason works about 200 days of Che year,

hour at Zach meal time, but the investment in equip
ment and man power must be maintained for the other
twenty-one hours. The peak load" for the electric
light company comes in the early evening. when in
three hours more current is often demanded than dur
ing the remaining twenty-one hours of the day, but
the plant must be ready to serve when the public de-
mands. Sundays included, regardless of the capital
investment that remains while the equipment is loaf
ing. Street car service is exacted ain chunks" but the
transportation company must furnish it because it is
a public service corporation, with an eye single to the
needs of the community and the demands of patrons.
Brick laying and telephone service cannot be done at
odd spells against a busy season; street car travel does
not yield to cold storage The peak load is the
great big problem of every utility manager. If the
demand were comparatively constant for gas, electric,
telephone or carrying service throughout the year,
rates could be reduced tremendously to the mutual
satisfaction and profit of operators and customers.

ABoLIsHING AN OLD EVIL.

evil that has been suffered for many years, by amend
ing the standing rules Of that body so that an appro-
priatioH bill may not contain any new or general legis-
lation, and if an appropriation bill is reported to the
senate containing new or general legislation, a point
of order may be made against the bill. This rule will
stop a practice which has long been in vogue in the
congress, but which has also long been condemned by
member Of congress, namely, that Of lacking riders,
or provisos that carry legislation on appropriation
bills. This artihce often compelled the congress to de-
eide between defeating some very meritorious appro-
priation, the need Of whose passage was urgent, or
permitting it to be passed with = rider carrying legis-
lation that could not have been enacted had it been
placed before congress separately and upon it's merits.

CHEERING The PATRONS.

Most of the big banks of the country maintain pub-
licity departments and oftentimes the gentleman in
charge gets off something different from old dry fnan-
cial information, crop and trade statistics. The Corn
Exchange National of Philadelphia has such a man,
who sends out the cheerful rather than the dull. Here
is one of lis latest;
at takes all kinds of people to make a world; but
a very few kinds of people can unmake one. We have
III America a considerable outfit of world unmakers'
that should be promptly scrapped. During the past
fifty years we have been fighting about almost every
thing under the sun. Here are some of our issues:
Shall we pay our Civil war debts? Shall we resume
specie payments? Shall we have a high, low, Jack
and the game tariff? Shall we make silver the only
legal tender? Shall women vote? men drink? Do
eight hours work make a ten-hour day? Shall we
get pleasure out of our work or make a work out of
our pleasure? Over every one of these issues we have
had the glori6ed '~scrapper' leading in a free-for-an
fight for many years, and in between we have man.
aged to get mixed up in the Spanish-American war,
with its legacy of the Philippine baby, and the world
war, leaving a debt, of twenty-five billion and a con-
dition of serious decentralization in commercial, manu-
featuring and agricultural affairs.
cts time to quit; time to scrap the scrappers.' and
give the 'P~eacemakers' a show. We have had come
hard knocks. We have lost something, but we are
still in business at the old stand, fighting hopefully
and helpfully for those victories of peace so much
more lasting in their beneficent influence than the vic
tory Of war.
"In the old writings, contemporary with those
events recorded in the Great Book there NAV be
found this story. A certain wise man, of ten thou-
sand years ago, wrote to the great cPessimist' Jere-
miah, a solemn note Of reproof and warning, because
he feared the 'Lamentation of jeremiah might be
taken seriously by the lawmakers of the day, and in
the end, not only destroy national prosperity, but re-
act upon the prophet to his own destruction. Per-
haps the message to that old Prophet NAV he reneated
N this day of small profits to the profit of the COM
mercial world. Said the wise man to Jeremiah ten
thousand years ago: Jeremiah, quit chewing the rag.
or you'll get lint on your lungs

tai attitude IS certain t. find its reflex in a physical
or financial condition. Yes, let's scrap the scrappers

rnE PRIMARY SCRAMBLE.

The tendency under the primary system says the
Springfield Union, ais, first. to send weaker and weak
er men TO congress and other representative bodies,
and, second, to make them extremely sensitive TO group
propaganda and fearful OF group votes. Party lead
ership does not function. The responsibility for the
choice Of men best able &c command general support
and best able % give a good account Of themselves as
representatives is greatly diminished if not actually
lost In its place is put a competitive scramble for a
plurality of a small primary vote often yielding tie
most rrotesque result, Of popular indifference or care
lessness, such as the favor for \ name that comes first
in the alphabetical list, or for a candidate whose name
may resemble that Of another OF even for one whose
candidacy is regarded as a joke. In short. there is in
trodueed into the choice Of representatives a game Of
chance which tends always to come out in favor Of
the proper results"

ACCORDING TO YOUR PURSE.

whils is Is still true that most rents in Casper are
too high and should be reduced, there are properties
that can be had at what would be regarded as reason
able figures. Then there are still others to be rented
on terms that would be called low. The strictly mod
ern wenIocated properties or apartments remain too
high in nearly every case. The more moderate ones
have location and lack of eonveniences against them,
while the cheap rents are for places without modern
improvements.
One particular trouble in the case Of renting prop
erty is with tenants themselves. Many of them do not
take care of property in their possession and repair
and replacement bills are constantly coming in to the.
landlord. Another fault is false pride. Tenants de-
mand the best there is, which is beyond their means
and earning power to afford, because some more for
tunate friend or neighbor can stand the strain
II tenants would come down TO earth, put up with
minor inconvenience, so long as the neighborhood
was respectable, and arrange their budget so that the
rent item would be not more than a fourth or fifth of
the income, they would have the price for other neces-I
sary things, would live better and happier and in time
become contented.
No disgrace attaches to living withAl your means
and saving a dollar for a rainy day. There is much
more to be said for q person who practices these sim
pie rules than for the one who is trying to fly beyond
his height.
