Play the Game

In one day. recently, three young
men were fatally injured while
playing football. The fact has called
forth a great deal of thoughtless
criticism, maudlin moralizing and
fnept condemnation of the rugged
game which has become one Of the
chief distinguishing features OF
American athletics.
Naturally, it is matter for regret
when a fine young life goes out un-
der whatever circumstances; but be-
cause young men occasionally meet
with fatal accidents on the football
field is no reason why that great
game should be libeled and pro-
claimed against Men die in auto
mobile accidents. Shall we abolish
the auto? Men die in the huntinG
field. Shall we prescribe hunting?
Men who 20 adventuring on the riy-
ers in frail canoes dia in the white
waters, or arc drowned in collisions
Shall we ban such. craft from our
rivers? Men die in the line of their
duty in the building trades. Shall
we stop the erection Of houses?
Denunciation OF football because Of
its alleged dangers is absurd. Thou

with the number Of those who 90 un-

Let us look at the matter from
another viewpoint: No game ever
devised by man, from the time of
the Olympiads down TO the present
day, has done so much to develop
and benefit the human physique, to
eXalt loyalty and courage, to
strengthen character and make men
real men as has the American game
Of football And normal American
parents are heartily in accord with
Theodore Roosevelt, who said: ''If
| had a soA who wouldn't play foot
ball for fear of breaking his neck
I'd disinherit him"
There are reasons for this feeling,
and in America these reasons are
pretty generally understood.
The man who plays the game of
football, true to its traditions and in
harmony with its obligations, is the
man who is going to play the game
of life as a man should play it

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8. 1872:


On Nov. Il, 191S-tive years ago.
was signed tie armistice which was
the ending of the worlds greatest
war In that war America cast her
lot with the other nations-Amer-
ica's was the deciding part. Wheh
our boys laid down their arms ana
started homeward they did so with
the feeling that they had done the
lob well. Laying aside Whatever
motive prompted the nations oil
Europe in going to war, the one
great dominating American idea was
that it was "a war to end war.
Certainly this was the idea in the
minds of the 100000 American
bows as they enlisted under the col
ors and which inspired the $4,000
bows who gave their life's blood on
foreign battlefields, or died 'over
there" as the result of wounds. But
those heroes have been betrayed; +;
war has not ended and the world
has not been made safe for the COM
mon folks.
While the armistice was signed
five years ago we are still living un-
der it, which may be broken. War
is likely to break out at any time
in Europe, and America is just as
likely as ever to be involved in any
war that may come. Europe now
has not the most Of love for Amer
ica. over there they are blaming
us with having blocked the treaty Of
peace and the League of Nations en-
which the hope Of world peace de-
pended.
Our ambassador to France, My
ron T. Herrick, VINO knows Euro
pean conditions as perhaps no other
American does, in speech recently
at the dedication of a monument to
the French and Americans at
Navarin Farm, Champagne, France,
discussed Americas entry into the
war, which he claimed as a just one,
and further stated that the situa-
tion in Europe at this minute con-
Germs America profoundly h
"our continued well-being depends
largely upon the settlement of
Europe's affairs, and calls for the
exercise of the same common sense
and business judgment as actuated
America in joining the war" The
ambassador closed with these very
Aignificant words Because of the
things we fought for, because of the
things we hoped for, because of the
things our men died for-whether
we like it or not, our lot now is cast
in with the other nations to very
considerable extent This whole
question rises far and away above
the clamor and strife of partisan
politics, and whosoever seeks to use
it for political advantage sullies
the memory of the dead we come
here to honor"
Times have changed but very lit
tie since Nov. II, 1918. The world
is. so to speak, sitting on a powder
keg. We are still living under the
armistce. It should not be thus
Partisan politics is the cause.

OF Interest to DoIlings Stakeholder,

OF Interest to DOlllngS Stockholders
Prosecuting Atty G. o. McGon-
agile has received from the attorney
general the following communica-
tion which is self explanatory:
| desire to call your attention to
the activities of one John A. Bush
nell, of Columbus, O., who claims to
be representing the stockholders OF
the r. l.. Dollings company. / am
confident that the records will show
that Mr.. Bushnell was not a Dol
lings stockholder, but secured a
few shares of stock for the sole
purpose of organizing a committee
and thus commercialiZe the situa-
ton. Although he claims to be a
relative Of former Governor Asa
Bushnell, Mr. Bushnell, jr, Of
Springfield, called me this morning
and denied any relation to or knowl-
edge of John A Bushnell of Colum-
bus.
There is a stockholders commit
tee, composed of very prominent
men and women who were originally
stockholders of the Dollings com
pany OF which Judge B. O. Bistline
T.. Eubanks, a prominent attorney
Of Jackson, is vice president, Miss
Martha Skeen, Of BellefCntaine, is
secretary, and c. J. Bowen, Colum-
bus, is treasurer. This committee
was organized for the mutual pro
lection of the stockholders and not
for the purpose of profit. Although
but little can be learned as to the
past record Of John A. Bushnell

been living for few months at the
Northern hotel, Columbus, O., and
has resided in numerous cities out
