LOST SAVINGS

Recently large industrial concern asked its en-
plovees 60 tell confdentiay whether they had ever
lost money in fraudulent investments 1t was found
that over half of these and women with moderate
incomes had been tempted and stung by get-rlch-
quick" propositions of sort or another. not IN
considerable sum of money had been lost by the group
of employees through their own foollshness.
Most of these wage-earners had been making
enough to have set by small savings regularly The
same money they had put into fake Investments might
have been used for the purchase OF reliable securities
Impatience ignorance and preference for the line
of the glib promoter, rather than the advice of the
reliable broker banker had led them to throw away
money which might have been used to much better ad-
vantage.
Perhaps money lost on fake stocks or other get
richquick schemes may be considered we'll spent II 1t

fall likewise for the next that plausbly present

GOLDEN MEAN IN JOURNALISM

This newspaper hopes It will never be cIassed as
sensational but it simultaneously hopes will never be
regarded as too conservative to print real news Of gen
eral interest. The mission of a newspaper Of wide
circulation is to reflect the daily history of the world
lust as il the duty of historian to put into his vol
ume accounts of wars and assassinations we'll of
industrial development and moral progress Certain
ly the historian ruin his perspective by magnify
ing the bloody annals of empire, and certainly the
editors of newspaper discount the value of their
product by minimizing the constructive phases of the
daily reflection The golden mean perhaps lies be-
tween an excess Of cimnal too conspcuously dis
pyaed and an excess of constructive that runs
into propaganda. Just where to draw the line is a
problem i'm all large newspaper offices, and the news
editor who knows where to draw it accurately the
oftenest is the best one in his line.-Dalas News.

IRRESPONSIBLE RULERS

A good many Americans must have ruoDeu tnelf
eyes as they read the chorus of praise which went up
for Charles F. Murphy after his DEATH and the com
plimentary things said of Tammany Hall, Whch he
controlled for many years.
The wonder is natural. 1t is necessary, III a case
like this to anayze the thing Murphy has been prals-
ed because he possessed many real virtues, as man
and leader and often used his power for good pur
pose Kind words have been spoken OF Iammany
even by its enemies, because under Murphy 1t has I'M
ton, as it always was, but more honest lnsttu-
ton than used to be- Murphy seldom tolerated gra1
at least of any direct and fragrant sort, and IN his
later wears often placed excellent and able men IN OF
flee -.
1t is we'll, however not to let such considerations
blind anyone to the essential evil involved In the career
of even the least Objectionable man ruling alone over
powerful political organization. Bosssm Is none the
less vicious in itself because particular boss may at
times perform genuine public service. AS the New
York World has we'll said THE evil of that system lies
not in the character of the boss but IN the fact that the
party machine was dominated by man who never had
to face the test of popular election.
irresponsible power is always bad for this very
reason Free government is no longer free when cam
didates and politicians determined by political
masters who hold public office and possess no pub
lie credentials If there to be political Bosses they
should be elected by free open choice of the people,
and retired likewise when the people cease to want
them. ...

ALABAMA READY
 FOR UNION GO
Crimson Sick List Holds Five Valuable Grid
 s Performkrs

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Sept. a. Stands running along both sides of the field sfor the lent tire~ lenglh of the grid. iron are being erected at Denny Field for the opening clash here Saturday \ #.afteEnoon between Union University and Alabama's "A Tidesmen.
 The stands, which will be several 8tiers high, will be able to accommodate comfortly more than 5000 persons
 No advance sale of tickets for the Union game will be made. It will be 4 "a case of first come, first served. All seats will be sold at the same price, band the gates will open about an hour before the game is scheduled to start. < Automobiles will be allowed parking space inside Denny Field for a paid fee, as in former years. a.
 The showing of the varsity in rolling up seven touchdowns against the "rats'' this past Saturday was entirely satis- factorysto Wallace Wade, he said Mon day morning.
 The practice game demonstrated one thing clearly: Alabama will have an of fense this year. Those who are support ers of the theory that the Crimsons Twill heSgreat on defense but weak on pffense should have witnessed Gillis, Hubert, and others in action Saturday. And there did not seem to be any < startling indication that the defense would not be on a par with the offense.
 There are faults, of course, with he playing of the Tidesmen, but one cannot expect a group of youngsters or even veterans to display all the ability hnd skill in a preseason game that they will show along about the mid He of the season. It just isn't being lone these days. The Wademen are Z groomed in a manner that does not al- ow them to get stale after a couple of games. -
 With Ben Hudson laid up for a few Hays, Hulet Whitaker summed the symnasium attire he has been watching practice in for an assortment of foot ball gear. Whitaker performed Satur- Hay giving a great exhibition of line bucking that netted the varsity several short gains.
 Albama's sick list includes Salmon, Hudson; Jones, Langhorne, and John- Fton. Langhorne should be out for prac- ice Tuesday afternoon and ready for bard work. Salmon's absence is indefiite, So is Hudson's, Johnson's and Jones. { he latter being in the hospital.
 All may be back in time for the Union melee. Yet, there is doubt about Salmon, Hudson and Jones. How the ickness of these men will affect the Cidesmen is hard to say. Jones' absence Fill not bother the Crimson mentors IS much as Hudson's absence. Caldwell hnd Propst can play ends, McClintock has been used some at the flank, while others are getting in for breathing pells every so often.
 Light practice prevailed Monday fternoon, Coach Wade sending the hen through signal, running, bunting, passing and slight charging for the opening days work of this week.
 The menu for the week will probably Include couple of scrimmaes between varsity and freshmen, such an affair Q give the coaches a better inkling as 0 the ability of each and affoEding better opportunities to place them in positions where they. will do the team he most good. ~

 Play.Off Matches
 The most sensational qualifying test the tournament has ever had wound up in a play-off by five entrants tied at 15S. They would not have had chance to play-off had it not been for the honesty of Louis NJ. Washburn of the Merion Cricket club, where the tourna- ment is being played. In with 157 for his two days work, he recalled that he had made shot on tee beyond the limits limited by the markers. He told the committee after he had turned in his card about it, and the ruling was that he was disqualified because he had not noted on the card the penalty stroke provided by the rules.
 In the play-off were R. E. Knepper, Dr. o. F. Willing of Portland, Ore, Cyril Tolley of England; R. W. Mar tin of Chicago and Joseph Coble of Philadelphia, public links champion. A birdie at the first hole won for Knepper. On the damp green with heavy rain fall ing he sank a fifteen foot putt for three after all the others had putted.
 The draw for 36 hole match play beginning tomorrow follows:
 Jones vs. Thompson Corkran vs. W. H. Gardner; Evans vs. Knepper; Jack vs. Augustus Ointment vs. Hunter i; Held vs. Wright; Guilford vs. Win tringer; Dunphy vs. Yates.

 The French champion went the mile, which is to be the distance of Satur- days race, in :3S Some watches clocked him even trifle faster.
 Prospects now are that the field for the second international special will be smaller than that for the first at Bel mont on Labor Day. Ladkin' Major August Belmont's crack, which flashed remarkable speed in capturing the Edgemere handicap Saturday, and Wise Counsellor, conqueror of Epinrad in the first race, loom as the French colts outstanding rivals.

 Made Much Money
 "Canon Chase asked me if thought it was right that foreigners should come to this country and ill two or three months make more money than the President of the United States gets in a year." Stiegler said. T only all. swered that people liked different sports and were willing to pay for them"
 There were many hot exchanges be. tween opposing counsel, after Bernard H. Sander, representing Canon Chase had insinuated that Miss Picart had been known as Mrs. Firpo. Sander produced a photograph, which he said showed the boxer and Miss Picart as guests at dinner at the home of lily. man Bushel, Firpo's attorney.
