STOP DEATH ON THE GRIDIRON.
How many more broken spines must
there be before the collge tuid high
school authorities compel a change
in the football rules? Last Saturday
4 halfback of the University of Vir
ginia team was fatally injured. The
Mme day a boy in Grand Rapids died
of hurts received In a football game.
A Naval cadet was made a paralytic
on the gridiron a week before and two
weeks before that, Cadet Byrne, of
West Point, was killed on the flehi.
These are not the only cases of death
or permanent injury since the foot
tali season began. There is every
reason to expect others in the games
next Saturday.
It is of no use for immoderate de
fenders of football to argue that the
men Who have fallen victims were
not in proper training or failed to
play scientifically. The fact looms
black and tragic over every other con
sideratioin that the game is killlug
young men every week. One instance
or even two could be explained away
satisfactorily, but the record already
made this season shows on its face
that under the existing rules there
u too great a risk if life. And these
deaths are peculiarly sad and shockirg,
Football players are picked men.
They are the finest specimeus of
young American brawn, nerve and en
durance. Their minds are being broatf
ened and strengthened by the hard,
careful training of high school and
college. They are nearly ready to
step over the threshhold of the world
of affairs magnificently equipped,
both physically and mentally, to win
honorable places for themselves and
perform high servicees. To sacrifice
these young men for a mere game is
woeful indeed.
There is no need to abolish football
It is a fine game, calling for and de
veloping all the muscle, hardihood,
courage and quickness there is in a
young man. It makes them steady and
self-reliant and forces the temper in
to effectual control. But the rules
must be changed. The style of play
that carries the danger of death with
it must be modified or abolished
There are ways of playing the game
which, without sacrificing any of its
blood-stirring characteristics are rea
sonably safe. ? Cleveland Leader.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HAINES.
At the present writing It seems
almost certain that Judge Cushman
will hold that Haines has sufficient
bona fide population to Justify an el
ection to decide whether or not the
people of the town favor the idea of
incorporation. And, assuming tbat
Judge Cushman does so rule, the peo
ple of Haines will vote for incorpora
tioD by an overwhelming majority.
At this same election there will
b? elected aeven councilman who will
have the honor and responsibility of
guiding Haines through its first year
it corporate existence.
The people of Haines should sink
all factional feeling when the elec
tion is held and strive to choose the
very best men for the position. They
should choose men who will have the
Interests of the town at heart and
who will ?ee that its affairs are ad
ministered with economy, but who
will avoid parsimony and see that the
|town does not fail to progress.
Ha ine? has a splendid opportunity.
If Uk? municipal affairs are conducted
as they should be the license monies
now paid into the federal treasury J
will from the very first be more than
sufficient to defray all the legitimate
expense# ot the town. If extravagance
La avoided it will not bo necessary for
the people of Haines to pay one penny
of taxes. At the present time the li
cense mouey will amount to more
thau $4,000 annually and this should
be sufficient for the present needs
of Haines. As the towu Increases In
population and there is need for more
funds for municipal Improvements the
men in charge of the town's affairs
will find that the license funds will
Increase almost In perfect ratio.
Under the law the taxing power of
the council is limited to two per cent
of the assessed valuation, but this li
mit has uever been reached in an Al
aska u town and several towns find
the license monies iu excess of the
current expenses. It should be so in
Haines.
Haines has a certain future. It will i
bo hastened by incorporation and the
town will derive many benefits under
Incorporation, provided of oouree that
tho municipal affairs are handled wlto)
wisdom and on a business like basis. |
The people want to put men in office
who are capable of doing this. The
men are here; it's merely a question
of selecting them. ? llaines Pioneer
Press.
The action of Judge Cushman in
Granting Haines the right to vote on
Incorporation will meet with the com
mendation of all Alaskans and it now
remains for Haines to demonstrate
that Alaskans are capable of self gov
ernment as far as their town Is con
cerned.
Wherever municipal government had,
been applied in Alaska it has worked
out to the very best advantage and
