( Tho close of the roRUlnr rollcgo , foot ball season showed n totnl of cloven doaths nnd thlrty-M non-1 fatal accidents. .According to reports this Is the best record Vet attained jT.Mil'y the modem game, because not a ilnath nr snrlnita nrrlilonl nccurntl (iinong tho college teams scientifically tralnod; alt these were ampng the less nklllcd nnd younger boys. This tends to support t,ho reason ing that as Kclence and fidelity to the rules of the game Increase Its hazard diminishes. Undoubtedly that Is true, but the fact yot remains that the majority of thoBe who play foot ball are not scientifically tralnod players and their Uvea and Ilmtisnre as precious as those of otliors. It seems too bad that an athletic game. In which there Is so much to In vigorate tho spirit and brawn' ot youth should be so hazardous, but eleven lives and many maimed hod, los, some for life. 1s a ra'thcr severe toll to pay In so brief n season even for tho benoflts enjoyed. Tho eltuatlon Is not greatly im proved by tho argument that only tho unscientific boys got killed or dangerously hurt, slnco these youths are sure to bu lured into emulation of tho scientific lad who has achieved a fame that thrusts hi in into the dazzling limelight of pub Iclty. Many an American youth has bocomo robust and Inured to al most any test of llfo by Ipsa perilous training than that of foot ball. Still Republicans. ICach member of congress deter . . . mines ills own party affiliation as recorded In tho congressional direc tory. Tho "copy" for tho new direc tory has Just been completed and shows every republican senator still classifying hlnuolf with U. 0. P. Not ono who split with tho party In tho recent campaign hhtj chosen to wrJto himself .down, by j any othor party namo than republican. Tint, significance of this is decidedly en couraging to tho plans of rcorganlza lion, already set on foot. Somo ot thbso senators became very nggrcs filvo In their nutngontsm to the old party in tho late election, but evi dently all have doclded to return and readjust differences within in stead of without republican ranks. Which Is exactly what should bo dono nnd what, in tho courso of n very short tlnie, we bellove will bo dono. (Dedicating Free Sohools. Otimha'n plan of publicly dedicat ing public schools Is truo to tho spirit ot democracy, upon which our whole freo educational system rests. Tho ceremonies that bring together teach ers,, pupils and patrons Into nn ap preciation of .tho school, such as thoso attending the dedication of tho Castollar building, tend to foster this spirit among tho pooplo. Ono of tho speakers op this occasion, rororred to tho necessity of co-Operation In any community, Ho might have gono further and said that this co-operation should brcatho tho baste spirit of democracy to mako Ufa In tho com munity most wholesome. Our com munal llfo and our schools are so Intimately co-related as to rest ono upon tho othor.

Albert T, Patrick, convicted and sentenced to dlo for tho murder ot William Marsh Rico, after ton years ot Indufatlgahlo effort, gains his un conditional pardon by convincing a governor of n reasonnbla doubt ot his guilt.

Tho Incentive for murder' was tho money, the state held, which tho ex- convict now- hopes to acquire. De spite the governor's partial faith In his lnnoceuco and his frlonds' stead fast devotion, Patrick still has'publlo opinion to satisfy and' should tnako his chlof remaining task In llfo, not the acquisition of his dead friend's wealth, but his own vindication, it that bo possible.

Ilohemluns were among the very earliest settlers of Omamc In the year 1S70 there was here quite a colony ot Ilohemlans. Most of them settled .In the southern part of town, mslnly on Thirteenth street Pew of these settlers were also Protest ants, but as they had no leader, no re ligious worl' waa done Hmong them In IttS, II. H. ScheUfflcr, an untiring leader of Bohemian Congregationalism, tried to start n retlgous work for the Ilohemlan Protestants In Omaha, but his work was not appreciated nor understood by the Ilohemlan newcomers. A chapel, which Ht. Mary's Avenue Congregational churnh built on Sixteenth and Hickory trcets was not lued very much. A now. better nnd a morn successful s'tart was made In 1SS9, when Itev. T. M. Wilson, then pastor of tho Castellar Street Presbyterian church, notloing a few Itohorntans attending his church regular,)-, spoke to them about the ad visability of having a Ilohemlan church started. The kind support of Dr, Wil son was n great encouragement for these few nnd they started at once to woik nmong their countrymen for the organisa tion ot a church. Mr. Jos Vladyka, es pecially put his heart nnd soul Into this movement and volunteered to lead the services for this new band. His faithful helper was Mr. 1 A. Ileranek, now a ruling elder of; the church. The church was organized August 2T. 1889, with thirty- six members. In tho beginning the congregation wor shipped in the Congregational chnpel, but when It decided In the fall of 1883 to Join the Presbyterian denomination, It had to move and a friendly hand waa offered to SCIENCE OF Educational Importance of ' rs'cw York It should not be surprising to learn that more "public documents" which mcann flints of all kinds, from pamphlets to encyclopaedias are sold by the Agricul tural department at Washington than by all other branches of' the government to gether. There are mdr'e people Interested In agricultural than In the domain of any other department." unless that of Commerce ond .Labor be' a rival, ami of courso tho economic Importance of agrl- culturo fsr exceeds that ot any other in dustry. It la probable, too,- that tho De partment of Agriculture haH "been more prolific of publications of a popular char acter than any, pther. There Is another Important rouson of a gratifying character for this demand for agricultural llternture-i-namely, the grow ing recognition of agriculture aa one ot thn learned and scientific occupations. Time was when farming was regarded as purely empirical to bo- learned' by "rule of thumb." "Book learning fof farmers" was looked upon with derlalbn and con tempt. To send a boy to college was hopelessly to disqualify him for the farm. It Is now realized that agriculture '. not only a science but also one of tho n d . i ii i meDeesLffleiTO T. , - tlppiracs the Ordinance. OMAHA. Nov. 5S.-To thp Editor -of TheHec; I would' llko to nsk you nnd the rodders df Tlie Peo whether they think u penalty of $!& tine and Imprison ment for the questionable Illegal use of S cents for such a minor offenae a reason able and Just one. 1 venture every reader will exclaim emphatically. No! and I quite agree. Such a distortion ot a pre tense or Justice simply means hypocrisy. It means the power ot the strong to over ride the weak. Now. according to an artlcla you published tn Th6 Bee, Novem ber 21, Mr. a. W. Wattles, president ot the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Hallway company, has petitioned our city council to .enact an ordinance provldjng for just that kind of' a punishment. Ho has petitioned tho council to pass a law making It n crime, punishable by a flno of $23 and Imprisonment in the city Jail, to offer to a conductor for passage a transfer over ten minutes old. Has there ever before in tho history of Omuha btjeu a request of Us law making body equally aa heinous and con temptible? I can hardly conceive ot the commercially moral and mental condition ot un Intelligent and sane person that would mako such an Inhuman request, desiring that women and children should be Imprisoned that he qr Ills compapy might benefit to the extent of a fraction uf u nickel. Ami what about the members of our city council that have tent an ear to such a request, that have honored It by "re ferring It to a.commlttee." For shame on Mr, Wattles, and thn city council as well for showing a willingness or even an encouraging thought or act toward the enactment of such u law. I have been watching The Bee' to sec If such a,n attempt at such an outrage would. go un challenged, fc-n tar not a word have I aeen. Does this mean that It Is un heeded or simply lias passed unnoticed? Will nil the poo pi or Omaha sit silently and sen this consummated..? Will' the men who would dlreirt and protect the public's Interests remain silent nnd sub servient, or will they In -their rlghtoous Indignation rise to the occasion and de clare thcnselvus. I think It 'ill becomes Mr. Wattles as president ot the Omaha and Council Blurfs Street Ttallway com pany to r.slc for a law Inflicting such rigorous and cruel punishment for such a minor offqnte.
