RUSHES T YARDS
IN SECOND PERIOD
Nelson's Well Placed Punt
Leads to Only Points in
Slippery Going.

EXTINCTION Va Mr.

BY the Associated Press.
n EXTINCTION, Va, November
19.-Maryland's Old Liners
l. marched over a muddy grid
iron today for a second
period touchdown and protected
the slim lead to defeat Washing
ton and Lee, 6 to 0, in the Gen
erals last home game Of the sea-
son.
Sswyers punt from behind his goal
line that carried only 81 yards gave
the Old Liners their scoring chance. A
pass to Brenner was good for only z
yards, but Widmyer made it a first
down on the next play Poppleman
then plunged through the Washington
and Lee forwards for II yards in two
tries. Widmyer picked up another yard
and Poppleman crashed through the
remaining 7 for the score. Widmyers S
attempted placement kick failed.
Both teams played cautiously. kick
ing often and waiting for a break that
never came, with the exception OF the
second period score, that followed Mel
sons boot that rolled cut On the l.
yard line.
GENERAL scoring opportunities we're
- lost to the Generals, one CT them
in the initial period. when three
first downs were chalked up in o row
After carrying to the i5-yard stripe,
the attack begged down and the Old
linoro gained POSSESSION and punted
out Of danger.
Again in the second period, after
Maryland had scored, the Generals
brcke through to block Nelson's kick
on il1e 25-yard line, but the half ended
before the Generals could get going.
Neither team threatened seriously in
the third, but in the fourth stanZa the
Generals started an attack on their
own 30-yard line that carried to the
oppcsition 20, with pass to Todd. the
chief ground-gainer. Here the Old
Liners cha -ged in fiereely to stop Saw
yers at the line of scrimmage, knock
down a pass. and then on two occa-
sions broke through to tackle Mattox
as he was preparing to hurl an aerial.
Although the muddy field made fum-
hlss frequent, both teams recovered on
raoss occasions.
WASHINGTON AND LEE made eight
wv first downs to seven for the vis-
itors. but the ability Of Popplenan
TO tear of yardage at the crucial me-
nent gave the Old Liners their victory
margin.
Nelson's pJInting was spectacular at
times and pulled the Old Liners cut o.
several embarrassing situations. His
boot in the second period that backed
the Generals against the wall was
telling factor In the fourth quarter,
with the Generals trying desperately to

Old Liners punted repeatedly, taking
no chances of fumbling the slippery
pigskin.
The Maryland defense, although
somewhat leaky in midfield, frightened
when the Generals reached the danger
Ecne and, with Nelson's fine kicking,
held back the determined Washington
and Lee attack.
The game ended with the Generals
tossing passes about the field in last
minute effort to score.

PRODUCING LESS

The reason the federal income tax
is not gathering in the revenue pro-
portionately that it did a few years
ago is because so many people are
unemployed and incomes are not so
great. Wealth is produced only when
men are working. With ten million
persons out of work the profits of the
upper crust are being touched and
consequently the income tax is not
producing the revenue it would under
ordinary circumstances. Under the
Mellon regime for ten years the in
come tax rates were gradually low
cred and at time when the greatest
profits were made and the wealth CEN
tralized more than at any other per-
iod in the history of the United States
the years from 1920 to 1880. Rails
ing the income tax rates now is some
thing like locking the barn door after
the horse is stolen. Seeing the storm
coming the greatest secretary since
the days of Alexander" was spirited
away to England just in time. He
had become a liability to "the grand
old party" so had to be replaced with
another man whose record was not
so we'll known, but the reactionary
party seems to have a knack of pick
ing men who can and will serve the
interests, and that's the kind that are
picked

When you put a three cents stamp
on the letter, pay federal tax on gaso-
line, on chewing gum, bank checks,
safety deposit boxes and the many
other petty devices for collecting
money to run the federal government
you will probably think of that great
est secretary since the days of Alex
ander Hamilton" who is now said to
be wearing knee pants over in dear
old England. You will be reminded
of the good advice he gave to Con-
gress the past ten years when it came
to finances, the gifts he handed out
in rebates on federal income taxes,
and how gently he handled Messrs.
Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. In a
land of plenty with all its natural
resources it is ridiculous to think that
we must resort to petty sales taxes
to help run our government. 1t might
be called joke or be laughed at if
it were not SO serious.

ENDORSES ROOSEVELT

Following the national Democratic
convention at Chicago when Governor
Franklin d. Roosevelt was nominated
for president, Senator George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska, Independent Repub-
lican and leader of the progressives
at the national capitol, issued a state
ment favoring Roosevelt. His state
ment follows:
II did not support Hoover before
and the reasons | gave then for re-
fusing to support him have been vim
Dictated by his official actions since
Il expect to support Roosevelt.
The fundamental principle involved
in the coming presidential campaign
is the contest between organized
monopoly on one side and the COM
mon people on the other.
I'm my opinion millions of pro-
gressive-minded citizens all over the
United States will take similar ac-
tion and support Governor Roosevelt
because they believe he stands for
the welfare of the common people"

THE PEDDLER NUISANCE
Herald, Sank Center, MINI.


House to house peddlers and solicit
tors Of orders for this and that are
becoming an ever greater nuisance
to the American home, as any house.
wife might truthfully testify. Still
the housewife whose home is con-
stantly invaded by these itinerant
super-salesmen has the remedy in her
own hands.
A timely suggestion along this line
is made by Prof. Conrad, of the New
Jersey Teachers College, who points
out that the peddler who boasts that
his firm has no store is trying to
make a store out of your home. You
are expected to furnish a place where
he may do business free from the ex-
pense which other merchants must
pay.
Besides, he insists on making you
shop at his convenience, no matter
how much it may interfere with your
daily routine. He takes up your
time arguing you into buying some
thing that in most cases you neither
want nor need. Sometimes you buy
to get rid of him, when you ought to
say:
"This is home, not a place of
business, and am not going to allow
you to use it as a store. Good day."
That might seem rather inconsider-
ate. But it is one way of discouraging
the peddler, who has not the slightest
consideration for your peace and COM
fort, but uses your home as a market
place, in unfair competition with
home merchants who pay rent, taxes,
license fees, and in other ways, con-
tribute to the welfare of the COM
munity.

Some reactfonary newspapers or the
state seem to find fault with the
Farmer-Labor party because it did
not choose Senator Victor Lawson OF
Willmar, as one of it's nominees for
Congress rather than one or two 9TH
ers that were chosen. Anything might
happen in a statewide contest where
there are 35 candidates and nine to be
chosen. AS it was Mr.. Lawson, the
sincere, true, and stable man that he
is, came out as No. 10.
But why the Long Prairie Leader
and other papers like it should be so
concerned about whom the Farmer
Labor party dominates for congress is
puzzle. Why those crocodile tears
because two men whom they consider
inferior to Senator Lawson have teen
nominated on the FL. ticket? The
Farmer-LabOr party nominated its one
member of Congress, but the Repub-
licans did not do so we'll by their
congressman. In fact they vo.ed to
leave at home the one congressman
who has the best farm record, Victor
Christgau. Many farmers who rave
been in the habit of voting the grand
old party" ballot can't quite under
stand why Mr.. Christgau should have
been turned down in the primary cleo
ton. They seem to take it as slap
and a sign of little consideration for
agriculture by the party in power
Mr.. Christgau did not hitch with Arch
Coleman, first assistant pOstmas, err
general. the congressman's recon-
mendatiOns for postmaster appoint
ments were not satisfactory to Cole
man and the administration and the
appointments counted more in poll
tics than the agricultural program, so
Christgau had to take the count in
the primary election.
The reactiOnary press of Minr esq ia
has plenty to worry about without be-
ing so concerned" over who became
congressional nominees on the FL
ticket. All nine of those congress
sional candidates are working for the
progressive cause.

(The St. Paul Daily News)


To anyone who finds national po-
litical conventions interesting, there
must occasionally come the melan-
choly thought that the great party
heroes-the patron saints, so to speak.
whose names must always be men
toned reverently in the keynote ad-
dresses-get a whole lot more devo-
tion from their parties after they are
dead than while they are alive
Each party has its great heroes, and
each party always drags out their i'm
ages at its conventions.
The Republicans. of course, spe-
cialize in Abraham Lincoln; and lately
they have begun to enshrine Theodore
Roosevelt in an adjacent niche. The
Democrats start with Thomas Jeffer-
son, pause to bend the knee before
the figure of Andrew Jackson and
then drop the rest of their wreaths
at the feet of Woodrow Wilson.
But a good many of these men get
something less than complete devotion
from their followers during life.
Lincoln, for example, is on pedes-
tai now. But the dawn of 1865 found
his party bitterly divided. A large
section was almost incredibly hostile
to him. If Booth had not killed him,
Lincoln and not Johnson would have
felt the wrath of the radicals" in
the late SOS; his attempts to save
the south from the horrors of the
reconstruction period would have
brought to him the blind hostility of
that section of his party which Ill
timately tried to throw Johnson out of
office.
Roosevelt, likewise, was not always
the idol of his party, he was roundly
snubbed in 1912, and he had to break
the party in half and help elect Will
son to win back his place in the G..
o. P. councils.
And Wilson, before his public car
eer ended, sat at the head of a di-
vided party. Not all of the votes that
killed the treaty of Versailles in the
United States senate came from Re-
publicans; and in the campaign of
