HARVARD ELEVEN
 FACES HARD WEEK
Holy Cross Victory Gives Hopes
 for Dartmouth

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 2O.-Con- sidcrably encouraged because a crippled team could show the fight ing qualities necessary 10 defeat Holy Cross on Saturday, Harvard will now get down to real business for the Dartmouth game.
 Last seasons 16-to-O defeat by the Hanover eleven was hard swallow for the Crimson, which, while figur- ing that Dartmouth is practically as strong as d year ago and will gain much because of it's match against Yale, also looks for great improve ment inc coming week.
 Between the Middltbury and Holy Cross game Harvard did an unusual amount of hard work and the coaches, who were expecting some- thing of q falling off in speed, much preferred that this should come in the Holy Cross game rather than against Dartmouth.
 Daley and Gehrke will both be back to play all the week. so that Harvard's line will go along in regular order,
 The playing of Gamache at center toward the end Of the game will probably serve 10 offset the injury which may handicap Adic, the first string center, this week and Harvard also will be able to use Check at quarter and very likely Sp9lding,
 The kicking of Hammond against the Purple was the best seen on Soldiers Field for a long time, but the Crimson ends were very weak down the field, and. even on the higher and shorter boots, the Har- ward linemcn in general were loose tacklers under the punts.
 Much time this week will be spent on getting ready the defcnsrs for Dar:mouth's reverse plays and for ward passes,

MONOToNY

His lifetime has been devoted to
making 200 million gallons of paint,
His name is Philip Steyer, and Cor
half century he has been toiling
in one of the country's largest paint
factories.
Maybe that seems like mono
tonous record. But Steyer has ell
joyed it He has the smile Of coa-
tent. And his is just an average
case typical of the grind endured
patiently by mother with her house
work and father in office, factory

The High Tipping Tax

Men who travel know the
many dollars that seep out OF
ones pockets for tipping dur
ing the course Of day.
He awakes in a Pullman
sleeper and finds the porter's
ready hand waiting for 25c or
more. The taxi man expects the
loose change as he deposits
you at your hotel and receives
his fare; the hotel doorman
grade grips and wants tips; the
hotel porter who carries your
luggage to room is back in a
few seconds with a pitcher of
ice water and he wants two
bits.
AS you enter the breakfast
room or dining room your hat
and coat are checked-for
dime or two. The waiter wants
10 per cent. of your bill, with
a minimum of 25c. The shoe
shine boy is peeved unless you
pay for a shine with three
nickels.
Returning to your room be-
fore beginning the days rounds
you find d suit to be pressed or
laundry to go down. Another
tip Is necessary-more often
than otherwise-to secure ser
vice.
And on and on it goes all
day long. There's a hand pro-
jecting your way every time you
demand a service. When you
are ready to check out and be-
gin to total up the days hold
ups, you find the 'incidentals
have amounted to about as
much as your room or meals.
German hotels are reducing
their rates and abolishing tips
IN an endeavor tc attract tourist
travel. The German is wise. He
is looking forward to regaining
what he lost in this line during
the war.
Some day. somewhere, some
town will get busy and, in a
concerted effort. abolish the
high tax of tipping. From one
end Of the land to the other
that town will be known as a
tipless" town and tourists from
coast to coast will look forward
to a visit there.
Wages paid the average servi-
tor are sufficiently high to make
unnecessary this supplemental
graft.

At the age of 1O2 James Kirkley

His rules include no worry, avoiding
stimulants, working and playing
regularly, cleanliness, cheerfulness,
early to bed and to rise.
It's and old formula. Nearly all
ancients repeat it when asked why
they have survived so many years
And it is the right formula-the
natural, simple life. Trouble is peo-
pie want to burn themselves up by
fast living, trying to cram several
lifetimes into one. What they seek

age can be attained by almost any
one willing to pay the price-pro-

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
THAT HAND PICKED LIST

THAT HAND PICKED LIST
The attempt to make it appear
that the protest gainst the high,
handed appointments Of county
delegates from Atlanta was an
effort in behalf of any candi-
date for the national committee
from Georgia is lame, awkward
and avsurd.
The protest began promptly
upon the publication of the hand
picked list. 1t was not confined
to any one section of the State.
1t affected several Congressional
districts. 1t began at time
when the selection of a national
committeeman was not thought
of. The men who protested, at
least in this part of the State,
were not in the know" as to
who was to be committeeman or
committeewoman.
Candidly, we think that the
man who is national committee
man from Georgia ought not TO
take too prominent hand in the
preliminary contest between
Democratic candidates for the
President. His duty is to ad-
wise upon national policy; to ar
range the time and place for
holding the national convention
every four years. To think of
such a man as partisan had
not occurred to us.
AS between two good Demo-
Gratis in Atlanta and elsewhere
whom we may name for this po-
sition, The Press has no word to
interpose. We do object, how
ever, to the way in which this
omnibus list of checkered careers
and non-deseripts has been foist-
ed upon the State. Here is q
man. Tor instance, In Athens,
who organized the district, who.
according to newspaper reports,
spent his money and who ought
to have had somesay as to the
appointment of the delegates
from the various counties of the
district. He had appeaIed n
these people to exert themselves
continuously and successfully.
He wa7 told by the powers that
be in Atlanta, when they were
finally unearthed, that "thev
thought they were doing him a
favor by naming the delegates
Heaven help US! Only in very
rare ir- Sances did they use the
names which he had selected

MISSISSIPPI TO THROW
OUT DEPOSIT LAW

The Mississippi senate has pass
ed a Nil repeating the state
guarantee bank law and similar
action is forecast on part of the
House. Oklahoma got out from
under her guarantee law two
years ago, leaving a frowning de-
ficit of over six million dollars,
which was repudiated. The trust
ing depositor who had confided
his surplus funds to any upstart
bank that happened along under
the delusion that 1.-THE state is
back of it," had to swallow his
losses and at the same time his
faith in new new-fangled govern
mental devices that do not make
due allowances for the flaws in
human nature.
Mississippi's guarantee fund is
reported to be 100000 short of
the amount needed to liquidate
the shortages of various inushrom
banks that have gone to the wall.
This sum will, no doubt, be charg-
ed off to profit and loss and also
to experience" 1t is recalled that
w. j. Bryan became a vigorous
prepayment of the bank deposit
law when the fantastic proposal
was first originated ana given
honored position in the Populist
platform. Several state legisla-
lures fell a prey to the populistic
lure and passed deposit laws, but
practically all of them have now
been wiped off the books. The
principle on which the raw is bas-
ed is fundamentally unsound. 1t
penalties prudence and good judg-
ment and careful management in
order to insure the inefficient,
reckless or Anticipated banker
from the consequences of his own
folly. 1t wouldn't work.-Selma

200 Years Ago

Plans are being made for
big national celebration, in 1882,
of the two hundredth anniver-
sary of George Washington's
birth. If Washington could
come to life and attend the cele-
bration he d look about and de-
eide he was dreaming or on some
strange planet.
Not much left that he'd rec
ognize.
In 1892, when he was born,
the stage coach trip between
New York and Boston took two
weeks, amazing speed for those
days, with only one stage coach
on the job.
In 1892 the first white inhab-
itants entered the valley of Vir-
ginia.
In 1892 Vincinnes was found
ed, the first European settlement
in Indiana. From England 100
immigrants sailed to settle in
the new district, Georgia, held
trust for the poor"
Nothing else of Importance
happened that year in America
as the infant George Washington
snuggled in his cradle.
The year 1899, when Wash
ington died, was even duller
than I732-except for the ex-
element of watching our repub-
lie get slowly on its feet.
Slavery had become an issue,
legislation for it's gradual sup
preston being passed by New
York state. Liberty was in the
air. Only year before, impris-
onment for debt had been abol-
ished, in regards to debts owed
to the government.
A treaty between England and
the United States had offended
France. There had been no ac-
tual declaration of war, but
French and American ships had
conducted small naval WAY
fare in the waters around the
West Indies. Vessels were cap
turcd and crews taken prisoner.
This trouble was settled in 1899,
peace coming after Napoleon Of
fered fair terms.
The cost of running the ma
tional government in t799 was
only a trifle more than / | mil
lion dollars. How many hours
would that sum last now in con-
gressp
Washington closed his eyes
forever, just as the young repub-
lie was getting on its feet The
population of the whole country
was less than five and half mil
liohs. In his hours of most vi
vid Imagination, he probably
never dreamed that the republic
which he fothered would ever
be more powerful than one of
the smaller European countries.
Today that republic is more
powerful and richer than the
whole world was in Washing
toms lifetime.

A Note of Warming

The farmer who plants more
than ne can properly cultivate
and look after is wasting his time
and money. The Cairo Messen-
ger. published in Grady county,
IN a recent issue has this warn
ing to the tobacco planter:
1T will be nothing but folly
Tor the farmers of Grady county
to set more tobacco next wear
than they can care for properly
The one who has one acre and
grows and cures it will be- better
off than the four-acre grower
who doesn't have enough time to
cure 1t properly"
The Cairo Messenger sounds a
wholesome note of warning to
the TOBACCO planters, and the
same advice is just as good for
him who plants cotton, corn or
potatoes.
The tobacco industry has
made excellent strides in Geor-
gia this year, as has many other
crops. The danger in any new
crop. probably more so than in
the old stand-bys, is OVERRIDING
The thing.
e Farmer after farmer has said
to US that it was rapid cultiva-
ton, adequate fertilizer and
poison that brought success. Too
many acres to the pillow means
less cotton in the fall Far bet
ter plant IS acres and tend it
correctly. than so acres only
half way cultivated. fertilized
and poisoned.
The success of the Swiss,
French and Belgian farmers is
intensive cultivation of a few
acres. In the end he has money
