FOOTBALL NOW ALONE IN THE LIMELIGHT
With the world's championship series of base
ball games out ol' the way and the fans who follow
the fortunes of their favorites 011 the diamond sat
isfied to let their interest iu the national pastime
subside until the Spriug. the strenuous ?ame of
football now occupies the center of the arena in the
sporting world. During the time that the Boston-
Philadelphia baseball contests were the leading
topics of the sporting world, football was taking an
inconspicuous part, so far as newspaper publicity
was concerned, but during all that, time the pigskin
athletes were quietly but determinedly training for
the important contests to come. As a result we are
now suddenly confronted with the tacts not only
that the teams of the various colleges are far ad
vanced in their season's development hut that some
of the big fellows are beginning to clash.
A survey of the football games scheduled for
to-day, for instance, brings vis to a sudden realiza
tion that the leading teams have got beyond the
stage where they meet inferior elevens of the
smaller colleges for the purpose of preliminary
practice and the trying out of new systems of play.
They are actually meeting teams of strong calibre
in matches that will have a bearing 011 the general
out-come of the season.
Yale meets Notre Dame to-day in a contest that
many of the experts believe will prove a severe
test of the strength of the Blue. Pennsylvania
struggles with the Annapolis Middies and this game
will have more interest for the Navy men than any
other match this season, —barring the possibility
of the Navy and Army burying their grievances
and coming to an agreement that will result in
the playing of their annual contest. Princeton
tackles Lafayette, always a formidable foe, and
Harvard measures her strength with Tufts, which
generally proves herself a worthy antagonist.
While none of the contests scheduled for to-day
are regarded as "hiar" games in the sense-that a
clash between Vale and Princeton or between Harv
ard and the University of Pennsylvania is regarded
as a "big game," there is abundant opportunity
for any one of the four teams which to-day meet
the*so-ealled "Big Four" to capture a victory.
As a fact the days of the "Big Four" as invinei
bles are over and many a team not included in that
charmed circle is as likely as not to vanquish any
one of the leaders formerly regarded as immune to
defeat. Indeed that fact that Yale, Princeton,
Harvard and Penn conduct their campaigns of
training with the aim'of bringing their teams to the
highest state of efficiency only for what they regard
as the most important matches at the close of the
season, gives the other teams an opportunity to
spring surprises at almost any time. This is espe
cially true because these latter teams usually en
deavor to develop their greatest efficiency at this
stage with the aim of beating elevens of the big
eastern universities.
The defeat, to-day. therefore, of any one of the
erstwhile "Big Four" would not be regarded as a
very startling surprise.
PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVELING LIBRARIES
There was a time, not very remote, when the
small towns and villages found it difficult to keep
abreast of the times through the medium of litera
ture. There were few reading rooms, few public
libraries and few clubs for social and intellectual
improvement. The desire for good reading existed
in many minds, but there seemed to be little oppor
tunity for gratifying this normal craving.
To-day a new order of things Kas dawned at least
HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOPc/R 17, 1914.
in Pennsylvania. The small towns now can obtain
the best that there is in volumes on travel, history
and fiction and in children's books. All that they
need to do is to comply with a few simple require
ments and the resources of Pennsylvania's magnifi
cent State Library are at their command.
All thut it now costs any community to
obtain one of the traveling libraries of the state
is the mere expense of packing and shipping. I'nder
Thomas Lynch Montgomery, State Librarian, the
traveling library idea has been most effectively de
veloped. To-day it is a potent factor in the intel
lectual life of the small towns of this common
wealth.
Hundreds of letters testify to the practical good
achieved in this way. People of all ages and of all
nationalities are taking hold of the traveling library
idea. Does a grtnip of young persons in the north
ern part of the stite desire to study into the condi
tions of some of the nations now at war? The books
will.be shipped to them, and if the readers desire,
some extra volumes on fiction, biography or other
subjects will be added. Little reading circles and
study clubs are forming throughout the state, and
the traveling library is opening a new vista before
the weary people who fancied that such opportuni
ties could only be accorded to those dwelling in
large cities.
The traveling library has come to stay. Penn
sylvania can be proud of taking the initiative in
this matter. Whatever provides clean home enter
tainment, intellectual food and proper social inter
course in any village is a mighty force for good.
Other states are writing here for information on
this subject, and other commonwealths are adopt
ing Pennsylvania's idea and are now starting trav
eling libraries on beneficent missions.
The stone pile as au added attract ion is driving guests
away from the fall and winter resort at the end of Poor
House Lane.
The wise ones among the amateur carpenters who raised
the Stough taberuade to-day will carry a vial of liniment j

If the prediction of General Aguilar that he will take

it will not be without a little tabasco sauce.

TOLD IN LIGHTER VEIN
ARABELLA AND SALLY ANN .
Arabella was a school girl,
So was Sally Ann.
Hasty pudding can't be thicker
Than two school girls can.
These were thick as school girls can be,
Deathless love they swore,
Vowed that naught on earth should part them—
One forever more.
They grew up. as school girls will do.
Went to parties, too.
And as oft before had happened.
Suitors came to woo.
But as fate or luck would have it,
One misguided man
Favored blue-eyed Arabella
More than Sally Ann.
And. of course, it made no differencs
That the laws are such
That he could not wed two women,
Though they wished it much.
So a coolness rose between them,
And the cause a man;
Cold was Arabella—very
Colder Sally Ann.
Now they call each other "creatures,"
What is still more sad—
Bella, though she won the treasure,
Wishes Sally had. —Exchange.
REVISED SPELLING
The members of a class of first reader pupils were verv
proud when they were able to spell "h-a-double 1 ball" and
so forth.
The meaning of the "double" was explained to thein,
and one day the class tame upon this sentence:
"Up! up! John, and see the sun rise!"
One little fellow rendered it as follows:
"Double up, John! and see the sun rise!"— Exchange.
GOOD. FOR JOHNNY
A New York clergyman is noted for his happy find of
inecdote.
"I detest the shallow optimist," he said at a recent
vegetarian banquet in New York. "I detest the shallow
optimist who, shutting his eyes to the numberless evils that
surround us, insists that the world is getting better.
"This man, in fact, reminds me of the nurse whose
mistress said:
" 'Was Johnny good at the party, nurse?'
" 'Oh, yes, ma'am,' she replied. 'He only broke two
vases and kicked four little girls.' " —Washington Star
WHEN ALIMONY IS BLISS
"Dear Charles," said Mrs. Flimgilt, "used to send me
alimony every month without a murmur."
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne; 'he says it's a great com
fort to turn over a bunch of money to you without an
argument because it isn't more."—Washington Star.
ON THE WAY
The usual large crowd was gathered at the New York end
of the Brooklyn bridge waiting for trolley cars, says an
exchange. An elderly lady, red in the face, flustered and
fussy, dug her elbows into convenient ribs irrespective of
owners. A fat man on her left was the recipient of a
particularly vicious jab. She yelled at him, "8ay!" He
winced slightly and moved to one side. She, too, side
stepped and thumped him vigorously on the back.
"Say!" she persisted, "does it make any difference which
of these cars I take to Greenwood cemetery!"
"Not to me madam," slipping through an
oucning in the crowd.

Death-Bed Insurance' 1 Frauds
The statement of the State rn«urance
Department that it has unearthed a
band of swindlers operating in Pennsyl
vania brings t.o mind the actions of the
''death-bed insurance swindlers'' in
this section of the State about thirty
five years ago. The new swindlers, ac
cording to the department, 'have worked
a game of hnving a healthy man ■im
personate a man who is in bad health
or so far advanced in years as certaiu
to live but a short time, securing a cer
tificate that the party impersonated is
a good risk, and the polii.v is 'issued.
W hen the insured party dies the swin
dlers rake in the insurance money. A
sharp {State insurance inspector, with
the aid of 'the insurance companies, got
wind of tfce game and it has 'been
stopped. In the early days of "death
bed insurance" it. was the practice for
people to take out policies on people
in whom they had no insurable interest
whatever, but who were in t'he last
stages of consumption or seme other in
curable disease.
* * *
"The Blue-Eyed Six" Murder
This sort of thing wheut on for some
'time an>d the instigators of it became so
em'boldened that they even succeeded In
killing legislation designed to put a
stop to it. Tho storm 'broke, however,
six men in LnVbanon eouutv pooled
tfheir money and took out a poliov on
an old man living in t'he vicinity oS
Oohi Springs, the old nvan knowing
northing whatever of it, and then the
gang decoyed him to an out-of-the-way
place and killed him. Then they had
the nerve to endeavor to collect the in
surance on their victim. Officers of the
law. 'however, got wind of the affair and
arrested tilie gang. They were tried in
Lebanon and convicted, four of t'hem
j hanged and_one sent to tihe penitentiary
! acd one acquitted. That broke up
! "death-bed insurance in Pennsylvania,
j The story of '' The Blue-eyed Six'' raur
j Jer shocked the entire State, and t.he
| Legislature passed measures to prevent
; ihat kind of insurance.
Harrisburg Officers Retired
I The most recent directory and roster
| of the National Guard of Pennsylva
j nia, including a list of the retired of
j fleers—men who had served long and
j faithfully in the Guard—contains the
j names of three Harir»*>urg officers.
I These are First Lieut. John M. Ma
j jor, of the (governor's Troop, retired
December 6, 1911; Captain Prank H.
' Mikel, Company I), Eighth regiment,
| City Grays, retired April 21, 1913,
! and Lieutenant Colonel Fred M. Ott,
j commanding the Third cavalry sqitad
' ron, retired July 1, 1914. If there
i were a call for the "reserves," such
| as we hear so much about in Europe,
these officers were be accepted tor
I service, and they could be depended
| upon to do good service, too.
Learning About the Stone Pile
The pan-handler approached the eit
| iz.en in the early evening on Walnut
j street and asked for assistance, plead
) ing that he was hungry and had been
without food all day. That may have
i been true, but it was very eminent that
he had not been without drink, as he
was plainly under its influence. Said
j the citizen:
| "Are you strong and healthy?''
" Yes, indeed, but 1, am unable to
! get work," said the hobo.
"Well, just you keep up your pan
i handling on this street long enough,
; and you will get all the work you
j want. The cops are pulling all of
j your kind just now, aud if you are
! caught it is you for the stone pile at
j the almshouse. Better beat it while the
I going is good.''
"What!" exclaimed the tramp, "de
i stone pile in Harrisburg! Say, bo,
j dat "s a new one on me. Good NIGHT!"
And he cut across the street and
| was lost in the gloaming.

Weasels and the Game Birds
"Hungarian quail do not last long
;in Pennsylvania," said State Game
i Commissioner Kalbfus, "as they are
' not warv enough to avoid the weasels
and other verinin that are constantly
j on the watch to kill them. A Hungar
j ian quail is different from a native
j quail in that it does not fly, but runs
; along the grouud and a weasel can fol
j low the scent and catch it, and then
it is all over with that quail. But a
> native quail is a flyer and leaves no
I trail, and it is seldom that a weasel
! or any other bird-killing animal can
' get one. A covey of native quail will
make a short flight and alight and
gather in a circle at the first sign of
danger, with their heads out, and they
are off in a scattering flight in all di
i rections, and Mr. Weasel, no matter
j how cunning, fails to get his prey.
Predatory hawks, however, swoon down
I on the crouching quail and find easy
| victims."

HE CONDEMNS NO
MAN IN ADVANCE;
Republican Candidate for Governor
Guarantees p, Square Deal in All
Appointments—Rival Campaigning
Parties Meet
Franklin, Oct. 17.—1f any public
official is faithless to his oath and
Martin G. Brumbaugh becomes Govern
or he will be dismissed from place and
sent to jail, provided prosecution
promptly instituted by the State's ex
ecutive will send him there.
Martin G. Brumbaugh made his dec
laration to a great crowd in the Or
pheuin theatre amid tremendous ap
plause last night. For days the Repub
lican gubernatorial candidate his been
preaching the positive virtues of right
eous conduct iu high administrative
office.
Last night he painted with sweeping
strokes the dark and forbidding pic
ture of the man who has failed.in his
duty to the State, and he called upou
the present Auditor General and the
present State Treasurer to go to the
criminal courts rather than to partisan
newspapers with their complaints.
"I condemn no man in advance,"
solemnly declared Dr. Brumbaugh.
"The facts alone must determine the
verdict. If, as some insinuate, there
have been fraud and graft in any de
partment of our State government, it
is now and here the duty of the present
Auditor (ieneral and State Treasurer
to diselose the truth and institute
prosecution.
Promises a Square Deal
"They were chosen by the people to
do this. It is their solemn obligation to
act if action is required. It is also their
duty to the people to deny insinuations
if they be not true. If they fail to act,
1 pledge you that if elected and any
official is shown guilty. 1 shall tell the
people the truth; shall immediately dis
miss any one who hurts the people of
Pennsylvania, and 1 shall personally
see that such offenders are promptly
j prosecuted. You shall have b square
| ileal and a clean State.
"If elected I solemnly pledge you
! that I shall appoint to office only men
who are known to me to be honest,
earnest and efticient, and men whom
people of Pennsylvania shall at
once agree are wholly desirable men
to serve in public administration.
"I guarantee to you a square deal
in all the appointments, and no favor
itism and no behind closed doors sug
i gestions shall sway me in my firm de
| termination to deal honestly, justly and
! directly with the people."
In discussing the highways of Penn
j svlvnnia Dr. Brumbaugh was equally
emphatic. He said:

Dr. Brumbaugh also left no room for
conjecture as to his j>osition on local
option.
j "I stand for local option and shall j
! do all in my power to see that such j
1 legislation is passed if elected to the |
■ office of Governor."
Social Reform Program
"If I had the time to do it, 1 should i
I like to argue with you for a little while
| upon the importance of maintaining
i for Pennsylvania a fine social and
! moral program of legislation in this i
j commonwealth," continued Dr. Brum- j
baug'h. "We undertook two years ago
j the beginning of that whole general
movement, and it is a duty facing the 1
coming legislature and the coming
I administration to give to the people
; the things which they want, including
among other things a workingmon's I

| ity act, a much better child labor law I
1 than we now have, and a better provi
i sion for the protection of women who |
j toil in Pennsylvania, and other,meas-j
ures of kindred character, which two'
I years ago were presented to the peo- j
I pic of this commonwealth as the great
I reform measures of our State.''
The Brumaugh party, consisting of
■ Martin (i. Brumbaugh. Henry Houck,
I Frank B. McPlain and Thomas S. Cra- '
go, arrived in Oil C'itv about noon.
! Former Judge S. H. Miller, of Mercer,

here by Marshall Phipps, of Frarfklin, I
1 candidate for State Senate; C. P. Hal ;
; ilerman. of Kmlcntou, and Daniel I!.
! Goodwin, of Oil City, candidates for
j Assembly. At 2 o'clock the public re
] eeption began at the Arlington hotel;
speaking followed to a crowd gathered
; in front of the hotel. F. W. Hays in-'
j troduced the speakers.
| After the meeting there was a fur
i ther reception by the candidates. At
| 7 o'clock they were taken to Franklin,
j for the night meeting, returning to Oil
I City for an early morning departure
j to Bradford.
Puts Questions to Brumbaugh
Oil City, Oct. 17.—The nearest ap
-1 proach to a face to face debate between
! Democratic and Republican leaders in
this campaign occurred last night, when
| Congressman Palmer, addressing an as
| semblage in Franklin a few yards away
| from the audience which had gathered
, to listen to Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh.
Republican candidate for Governor,
took up the cudgel in defense of Vance
: P. McCormiek, the Democratic guberna
1 torial nominee, and challenged Dr.
j Brumbaugh to reply to two questions.
I "First. If you are elected Govern
or, will you remove Commissioner of
Highways Bigelow from office!
'' Second. Are you in favor of the
re-election of Boies 'Penrose to the
I United States Senate? You can auswer
j either of these questions by ' Yes' or
| 'No.' Those monosyllables "are all the
I people of Pennsylvania need to show
them what you really stand for."
The meeting which Mr. Palmer ad
| dressed last night in Franklin filled the
; Court House to its capacity of 500.
] both floor and gallery being crowded,
j Mayor Robert (ilenu presided at the
| Palmer meeting. A simultaneous meet
j ing was held in Oil City in the Grand
j Opera House by Democratic candi-
I dates. About 300 were present,
j Congressman Palmer tctok up in de

to his vote on the American shipping
bill, including both as another count in
