Given good material, and a glimpse

simply see Wesleyan's rejuvenated

be a bitter fight, between old rivals,
is the opinion of majority of the

BONUS BILL PASSED
BY U. S. SENATE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The
four billion dollar soldiers bonus bill
was passed today by the senate and
now goes to conference. The vote
was forty-seven to twenty-five with
party lines wiped out.
Senator Sutherland voted for the
bonus and Senator Elkins, who was
among the abseptees, was said to
be in favor Of the measure. The line
up included absentees and those pair
ed showed 33 senator's against the
bill, or sufficient number to prevent
it's passage in the event President
Harding vetoed it, as many now be-
lieve he will. The soil call today,
however, showed one more than a
two-third majority Of those present
and voting in favor Of the bill.

PICKS BROADDUS

PHILIPPI, Sept 2.--Belington will
send its first candidate for the Broad
dus football team this year. And the
neighboring town is making UP for
previous lack of representation by
sending the most promising athlete
developed in the southern end Of the
county in many years. Roy Jeffries
is the youth to select Broaddus, and
he has sent word to representative
Brandon that he will be ready for
the first call next Wednesday morn
Coach Latte has been greatly pleas
ing.
ed in Jeffreys. He is backfield or
end man, is fast, kicks, passes and
sidesteps well and is considered one
Of the best defensive men to announce
their intention of comig to Broaddus.
Jeffreys was the mainstay on the Be-
lington team last year, and its record
especially in the games during the
latter part Of the season, was an ex-
cellent one. Jeffrcys is basketball
and track man. Philippi fans were
showing a great amount Of enthusi-
asm when the announcement was made
that Jeffreys is to be one Of Latto's
proteges.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.--Under restric-

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS AT
WESLEYAN COLLEGE

West Virginia Wesleyan College
Foot Ball Training Camp, Buckhan-
non, w. Va, Sept 7th--Sixty eight
men have reported to the Wesleyan
College training camp to date. With
the opening of the annaul prepare
ton period for 1922 grid season the
Methodists got away to flying
start. Only one college in eastern
collegiate football started sooner,
Waynesburg college opening two days
earlier.
Although the Methodists have been
studying fundamentals, kicking and
receiving the ball, and doing track
work for seasoning and conditioning,
there is no possible way yet to deter
mine individuals who may make up
any probable Wesleyan lineup.
Coach Higgins assumed charge OF the
camp Monday morning, and the at
mosphere about the training quarters
is intensely foot ball."
Just what troubles ase going to
develop in the building up Of the
Wesleyan eleven have not presented
themselves yet. There seems to be
flood Of candidates for all positions.
With nine veterans returned to the
fold, there is every reason to believe
that some pretty fighting will be done
because Of the keeness Of competi-
ton, and the struggles the vets will
make to hold their jobs.
Reports from all sections Of the
state indicate that unusual interest is
being shown in the football POSSIBLE
tiles this year in West Virginia. The
coming West Virginia University
Wesleyan game is perhaps occupying
the middle Of the stage right now.
There seems to be feeling that
the Methodists will stand on pretty
even terms with the, University this
year, but when it is taken into con-
sideration that head coach Spears has

What has become Of our govern

when they want anything. When
they want mine stopped they get
the guns or dynamite and stop bust
ness. Same way with the railway
unions, when they want train SER
vices stopped they put cement or some
other obstruction on the railroad and
kill few people. The question may
arise as to how we can stop it. Ar
rest every leader and make them res
ponsible for their anarchism. It has
come to the point where something
has to be done.
