AN OBJECT LESSON
Yesterday's football game furnishes
an object lesson to the people of this
pleasure-loving community; First, It
demonstrates that people will turn out
to see good sport; second, It shows
that football can be decently played,
and, third, it proves that Astoria has
good athletic material.
The 1000 or more persons who went
to A. F. C. park yesterday afternoon
waded through seas of mud, or else, if
they were fortunate, paid the transfer
men for the ride up the hill. They re
fused to turn out in such numbers In
the past, for the1 apparent reason that
the Bport was not of such high quality.
They had the assurence.yesterday that
the contest would be an interesting one,
and therefore suffered the necessary in
conveniences to see the game.
The opposing teams were made up of
gentlemen, There was almost a total
absence of. slugging, and the few hard
knocks received by the players were
' unquestionably due more to careless
ness than Intent., , Between halves the
opposing athletes could be heard ex
plaining to each other for some bruises
received in a , mixup, and , 'generally
there prevailed I all around a friendly
feeling' between the men. Gentlemanly
sport will do more than anything else
to interest the public, the support of
which Is absolutely essential to the sucr
cess of an, athletic undertaking, and
ungentiemanly conduct will do jnore
than all .else to put the game under the
ban. , . '., ,. , . , . , i
It Is to be noted that most of the
players are young men from the east
and west ends of the city. It has al
ways been the case that those lads have
tuken the deep Interest In legitimate
sport that is necessary to proficient
work. The "downtown" lads have
been less faithful to the- regulations
imposed during Jhe season of training.
Astoria was represented yesterday by
an lKKreKHtlon of young giants who
hail' thrown their souls into the sport,
nn.l" had observed with every care the
cautions if Conch Abercromble. For
thlif devotion to the Browing club of
which the lads are members they are
to he commended, and the assurance
has been given them that good, healthy
spuri will receive the liberal patronage
to which It Is entitled.
Tq the Oregon plan of barrlivg from
the ''stage nil children who have not
reached the age of 16 years there have
been made certain exception, says the
.t .'Ml Best
1 : 5C Cigar" X
M" that ever VS
A-! Crossed
I CUim Counter W
Tacoma Ledger. Perhaps these are
not wholly fortunate. "Little Eva
may still perform. She Is a horror.
In herself she may be a nice child, but
when she is regarded as a part of Uncle
Tom's Cabin, she becomes a most un-derii-aMe
entity. The law against
children appearing before the footlights
would be a good thing were it to ac
complish nothing but to put a quietus
on the abnormally and disgustingly
ood little Eva. This character Is
h.irdly irior a' objectionable than the rest
of the band.' 'The truth is that the play
fls out of date and out of place. There
was once an excuse for the book, but
ttever for the pla'yi The book had a mis
slonj rthe play had none. The book was
written In all sincerity, and . while Its
painted conditions did hot exist, it set
forth some that did exist. It was
written In the heat of contention, and
voiced a battle cry". The play was con
trived with the deliberate purpose of
o harvest at the box office,
and that, it.' kept alive passions, better
dead and forgot, was, an unconsidered
trifle. If the legislation designed to
hase Infancy from the stage had been
aimed at Eva, there would4have been a
more general tendency to lend' it ap
proval. '
Germany's ,, Brazilian colonies are
growing, according to the Koelnlsche
Zeitung, there being In one state up
wards of 100,000 Germans, and their In
fluence Is being felt in every depart
ment of public life. There are German
schools, churches and theaters, and in
every way the establishment of the
colonsts is facilitated, special privi
leges being accorded to them for the
acquisition of land, with substantial
guarantees of all forms of industrial
freedom. The same paper says that
derma capital Is represented almost
exclusively In the railroads and large
Industries of Brazil, "a fact which only
goes to prove, were proof needed, how
very desirable It would be for Germany
to acquire even the most delicate foot'
hold in South America." Until lately
the German colonies there did not seem
to prosper, though they had been going
on In a way for the greater, part of a
century, but political, industrial and
other conditions seem now to be as
much In their favor as they have hith
erto been adverse.
' The highest monument In the world,
otherwise known as the Eiffel tower in
Paris, Is doomed to disappear. It has
been found that It is inclining to one
side, like the leaning tower of Pisa, and
that, unlike the latter, its center of
gravity will inevitably be displaced and
it will topple over. It will therefore
be taken down In the near future and
with Its removal the best means of see
ing the country around Paris will dis
appear. The tower Is 985 feet high, and
since Its erection has been popular with
tourists generally.
ThJ papers 'of moat of the large cities
of the .ountry are filing their annual
omiilalnf ' against lll-manuered men.
The men display absolutely no regard
for women, who are permitted to stand
in crowded street cars while their
brothers recline at 'ease. Then, again,
women are subject to Insults on the
streets by mashers, and all around
seem to have a pretty hard time of it.
However, In view of the fact that
'hriatmaa Is coming on, they will prob
ably uncomplalngly bear their sorrows.
