WHO'S WHO WITH
COLLEGE TEAMS
Today's Gridiron Baltics Im
portant; Close A atcli on
Harvard and Cornell
New York, Oct. 28. The football
season in the east reaches high noon
to-day. The games played will give
a pretty fair idea of who's who among
the elevens this side of the Alleghen
ies. The Harvard-Cornell game at
Cambridge heads the list in view of
the fact that Cornell last year claimed
the eastern championship and her
team this year is said to bo a worthy
successor of the eleven which defeat
ed Harvard a year ago by a score of
10 to 0.
All Have Hard Games
All the big colleges have hard
games to-day. Princoton, whose eleven
is said to be further advanced at the
present moment than any othqj- in
the cast, expects a victory over Dart
mouth at Princeton. The University
of Pennsylvania students are not so
confident of success in their contest
with the University of Pittsburgh at
Pittsburgh. Yalo meets Washington
and Jeft'erson, at New Haven, eager
to wipe out the defeats of the last
two seasons.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 26.—"Have
never met my ideal, so boys here's
your chance: everybody invited to re
spond. Am brunette: have very
hrown eyes, good-looking, kind, loving
disposition; full of life."
This, in part, was the advertisement
inserted in local newspapers by Mrs.
Beatrice Marie Price, 19, wife of Kd
ward Raymond Price, according to the
allegations in a divorce libel filed by
Price here. That his wife received
Jorty answers from prospective
"ideals," sent her photograph to some,
and improperly conducted herself with
at least, sixty men were other allega
tions of the woman's husband.
The wife denied any wrongdoing
and charged her husband with paying
attention to a Miss Mellville, when the
Prices resided In New York City. Tes
timony in the case was taken before
a master and Price produced the ad
vertisement which he alleges his wife
caused to be published. Mrs. Price
is a dashing brunette.

RURAL CARRIERS
ARE UP IN ARMS
Conditions in Cumberland Are
Much Worse Than
Described
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 28.—The item ap
pearing- in last evening's Telegraph by
a staff correspondent relating to postal
conditions in Cumberland county was
all true, but. it did not go deeply
enough into the situation as the people
of this county know it. Conditions are
really .much worse than were painted.
The writer did not know the hardships
to which the people of the rural dis
tricts have been placed since postofflces
were blotted out in wholesale manner
and rural routes lengthened so that
mail is now delivered hours later than
at any time since a beneficent Repub
lican administration established the
rural routes.
Tho rural carriers, of course, dare
not voice their sentiments openly, but
most of them carry around on their
inside pockets a pamphlet the text of
which is "Remember—A Vote for Wil
son is a Vote for Uurleson and
lihiktlee. l '
Put the rural carriers do not need
to be reminded of what they have suf
fered at the hands of the Wilson ad
ministration. They will tell anybody
whom they think will not carry tales
that they resent the unsuccessful at
tempt of Burleson and fflakslee to put
the rural service o:i a contract basis.
They also feel that they have been in
jured by the abolition of many rural
routes, giving those remaining in
creased duties without increase of pay.
This advance in pay, by the way, was
appropriated by Congress, but was
withheld by the great "friend of la
bor," Woodrow Wilson, and his ap
pointees.
Another matter that has gotten un
der the skins of the Cumberland car
riers is that scores of rural mail men
the country over have been dismissed
in defiance of civil service laws in or
der to make places for "deserving
Democrats." Also, the Cumberland
people have not forgotten that these
"triends of labor" refused absolutely
to confer with officers of the National
letter Carriers' Association upon the
needs of the service in this and other
districts.
It is all very well for Democrats to
tell the voters that the hardships
placed upon the people of Cumberland
by the abolition of rural routes and the
cutting off of post offices long es
tablished were merely intended to do
away with "Republican extrava
gances," but tlie votei's will not forget
that while the Democrats were cutting
the throat of the postal service and
bleeding it to death In Cumberland
county they were pouring out millions
upon millions of dollars for tho erec
tion of magnificent post offices in little
Southern towns hardly big enough to
be on the map and for the deepening
of creeks for steamboat purposes not
nearly so deep or wide as the Yellow
Breeches or the Conodogulnet. Nor
ore they going to forget oh election
day how they have been treated in the
past four years.
LABOR UNION MAN
TAKES GOMPERS TO TASK
[Continued From Editorial Page]
true, then in the name of God will Mr.
Gompers, Mr. Wilson or someone else
tell us why we have lost good Amer
j lean lives in Vera Cruz, and then with
drew, defeated as It were, and why our
troops were sent across the southwest
ern border, only to be fired upon, and
many killed by Mexican forces, and
| then again withdrawn? Will they tell
us why some 150,000 of our people were
called into the United States service
and still kept on the border, away
from their homes, their loved ones and
families? Will they tell us why we
have been compelled to pay a war tax?
Did either of these gentlemen ever
hear of a government tailing to arms
the home-loving, peaceable citizens of
their country, and levying a war tax,
all at a time when they were at peace
with the world? If we are not at
war, then explain to the thousands of
wives, mothers, fathers and friends
why there are so many of our boys on
the Mexican border to-day, and why
the war tax? Tell us, Mr. Gompers,
pray tell us!
'l'lie l,al>or Vote
I do not undertake to advise the
American working man how to vote.
He knows his own mind best, and is
i intelligent enough to mark his own bal-
I lot to the best interest of himself, his
family and his fellowman, but as one
who lias fought labor's battles, I again
protest against such—l might say—
order from "Sam" Gompers.
Mr. Gompers no doubt lias his rea
sons for making such a statement as
attributed to him through the press, but
I ask the members of the great labor
movement, do you know Mr. Gompers?
Has he ever taken part in any of your
great struggles—strikes if you will?
Was he ever on tho ground floor when
the guns of the oppression were fired
on you? Was he ever on the picket
line during tlie early hours of the morn
ing, persuading others to join you in
your struggle for the uplifting of the
human race? Has lie ever faced the
ordeal of court trials in defense of la
bor? Let him answer, and you will And
that the thirty some years during which
he has graced the office of president of
the American Federation of all
he did was to act as its president be
tween the ofllce of said organization
and l a New York hotel, except while
playing with the larger politicians at
Washington.
To tho labor people of this country
I would say, listen to your national, dls.
trict and local olricers, follow their ad
vice and X assure you that you will not
go astray. Keep your oganization with
in the bounds of the labor question,
shorter hours, Increased pay, and bet
ter working conditions. Then vote for
the man whom in your opinion will do
the greatest good for the greatest num
ber.
1 will agree with Mr. Gompers in
part of his letter. Wage workers can
not afford to lose their rights and op-]
portunltles through negligence and In
action. Meet, discuss tho great issue
to be decided on November 7 and cast
your vote as your conscience directs for
labor, justice, freedom and humanity,
and when you do that, remember that
Mr. Wilson and his commander-in-chief
lias as much regard for you as a hun
gry lion would have for that tired out
body of yours should he come in con
tact with you in the wilds of Africa,
and at the same time forget tho appeal
of our worthy president, Samuel Gomp

Everybody in Harrisburg who is a
real sport and enjoys football expected
to be at Island Park to-day. Steel
ton was also a deserted town. Tho
explanation: Central and Steelton
elevens were fighting it out on the
gridiron.
There is 110 denying the fact that
local elevens have been cutting quite
a figure in football this season. Three
victories to-day will tighten the grip
for season's honors. None of the
games were likely to be a walkover
for Harrisburg players.
Bowling is increasing in popularity.
This season finds at least a half dozen
more leagues in action. Tho season
has not yet warmed up and it looks
like a record year for this sport.
Once 'more it is the belief that tho

University of Pittsburgh football team
is picked as the winner in the game
here to-day with the University of
Pennsylvania. Both teams are In
prime condition and are about evenly
matched. From tackle to tackle, the
opposing lines average about 190
pounds and although the Panther
ends are a trifle heavier than their
opponents, the backfleld of both
elevens weighs about the same. The
weather was clear and cool and the
heavy sale of seats indicated a record
