The Great American Game, 1 Thanksgiving generally marks the ending of the football season in this country. The'prettent has been even more strenuous than any year preced ing. All over the United States great crowds numbering thousands have wit nessed gridiron contests and cheered their gridiron heroes to the fullest strength ot their being. "We are in deed a nation of hero worshippers,' and if we cannot have our heroes of the battle-field, vie must have some other cause of worship and this is possibly more lavishly showered on the men that chase the oval than any other, Baseball has its patrons and votaries and the interest in this great national game is unabated and ever increasing Even thus, it seems that no other thing is possible of engendering tthe wild joy and patriotic fidelity to school and state as is exhibited ut a great collegiate contest. There are to be found those that ob ject most decidedly to the game, for reasons that the game is rough, dan gerous and ungentlemanly. The game as it should be played is not so, and is one of the greatest agencies poss'.ble in developing the fairness and resource fulness of the player. No such event has ever occured in the State of Oiegon as the great an nual game of the Oregon's two greatest schools as played in Portland on Satur day last. The students of the respective schols were backing their team to the fullest extent and even in defeat the belief and faith of the students of the O. A. C. has not been diminished. The game teaches the player and their Bup porters to take defeat with as much grace as if they were the winners. One team or the other must be beaten in such contests and the element of un- , certainty adds to the zest of the game Think of the wild joy that must have filled the hearts of the Eugene support ers when they won what had been practically considered a hopeless propo sition. Fighting against all the adver sities of the day the team from Oregon went into the game with that do or die spirit that wins success and accom pliahes wonders in every day life as well as in great contests on the field. Lord Wellington on one occasion was witnessing the annual football contest as being waged between Oxford and Cambidge. One of his party remarked that the game was cruel and Bhould be eliminated. The great field officer turned and said to the members of his party, "It's such games as this, that made the suecess at Waterloo possible." Therein lies the great benefit of the game. It develops the resourcefulness of the player, makes him quick of action and able to submit to discipline and the orders of his superiors. The game will surely live and each year will see the enthusiasm increasing over tho great annual gridiron contests. It is well that tho gamo is being worked out to a more scientific principle and less injuries and futilities result than heretofore. Tho man who onco has been on the field and felt the thrill of tho occasion would not exchange its joy for wealth or position. Tho craven in heart have no business in such a game and are soon discovered by the players and coaches and room mado for another strong man. The Yellow Peril The "Little brown man of tho east. " What means all this distrust of their sincerity and a general disbelief in their avowals of friendship? The wily Japan ese stand as the greatest exponents of absolution in all Asia and kave appro priated to themselves the duty of dis ciplining all the other nations around about. Thoyihope to make thoir au thority in Monchura supreme; in Korea their cruelly and oppression is causing general suffering and complaint; China has been almost at an open rupture and on the point of becoming involved in hostilities tn account of a refusal to allow Japan to Btand as the dictator of tho "Fur East." Not long since ono of their Elder Stiitesnian, ' on being interviewed by Richard Barry, state 1, that to them has been given tho right to dictate the policy of all tho nations of tho Eestern empires. Arrogantly stating that to take tho Philippines would be mere play and the matter of overthrowing the power of Great Britain in India only dependent on her whims and fan cies and could be accomplished within a fortnight if so decided by the Imperial Council. Tho Eastern Press regardless of po litical complexion seems to bo actuated by more honorable principles than some of tho Oregon publications. The mem bers of the party knew full well what they wanted when they chose Chamber lain in the general election for United States Senator. Now why not bo game and take your medicico. Senator Fulton imagines himself ,the whole show in Oregon and according to statements recently made in the East imagines the common people unfit to have a voice in tho election of men to high and responsible positions. Some day Fulton will feel the weight of their heels as they cruah his political hopes into pulp. SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHS, ' In national affairs the publication of the expenses in the recent campaign has attracted attention. In the list of those wno furnished the cash for the Taft fight are numerous big trust mag nates, a fact which tells its own story. Considerable is being made of the statement made by Mr. Bryan that he would run a fourth time n the people wanted him. It was simply an express ion of his position that the people rule, But Mr. Bryan will not run and should not. The Democrat takes pleasure in nominating Mr. Johnson of Minnesota, In Denver there is a place called an oasis, at the intersection of five streets, where pedestrians rush for safety from the speeding autos. motor cycles and teams, particularly the former, the drivers of which seem to have no re spect, for any one. Denver is a fast citv. where little recr&rd is Daid to law. full of evil influences, and the city needs more moral oasises as wen. Albany is a dry city and Denver is a very wet one. when it comes to the drink habit, and vet Denver is the dry. est city this Thinker ever saw. This remarkable thing occurred. A large washing was hung out. As the last was DUt on the line the first, linens. readv to be taken oft the line.. It had taken half an hour only lor the clothes to dry. One needs to take a trip to other states to appreciate this Willamette viillnv. which to the editor of the Demo crat is more the garden spot of world man ever, aiier a riuo w'r,0ugh the sage brush of Idaho and W'- omin with an occasional boom irri(T',.ted town in signc, mis vauey t a para. dise. And Colorado is r,ot mucn more inviting, though rich en .uugh. Its great capital is high air for consumption and asthma; but rheum.atism and other ills prevail as elsewhere. We are fortunate in having just enough rain for business, saving a continual -whine at the feet of Uncle Sam for millions for water. There is a great future for this valley, with its peerless resources. A test trial of endurance in Denver is a sample of the spirit of the ago. A pianist attempted to play 48 hours with out stopping in order to make a new record. Well, what s the odds anyway, It is how well a person can entertain those listening. Endurance has two places; but merit in anything counts me nignesc. Asiatic Ciinnlnu. A nation that is drunk with the suc cesses of the past will prove the great est possible danger to the other nations of the world. Imagining that they are direct descendents from the Gods, they may prove as great a danger to the safety of mankind as was seen during tho days of Mohammed. Avowing friendship and love, while in reality they Btand ready to thrust the knife Into the life blood of the victim at the earliest opportunity. It may be possible that the nations will again be awakened from thoir dreams of security and peace by the sound of the Japanese guns, and that, without the official declaration of war or other warning. Extreme cunning is the primal char acistlc of the peoplo of the Far East. Feigning financial troubles and other distressing conditions as existunt with in her empire she may be able to so decievo the powers, as to give her all the time desired to strengthen her hold on the throats of her victims. The greatost conflict of history may be started in Asia and it may develop into a fight for tho supremacy between the Occident and Orient. RELIGIOUS. Evangelical church: Sabbath school at 10 a. m.

FIFTEEN fEARSlT Rheumatism Developed Burning, Painful Sores on Legs Tortured Day and Night-Tried All Kinds of Remedies to No Avail Wife Had Debility and Pains in Back.' BOTH USED CUTICURA AND ARE WELL AGAIN "My husband had been a great suf ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen years. At first it was in his bones, bub after a while it was in the flesh and finally running sores broke out on his legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the dis comfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. Ho used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, with out any good results whatever. So one day 1 happened to read about Cuticura Remedies. I asked him if he would not try them. 'No Baid he, 'it's no use, I've spent enough money now.' The next day I ordered five dollars' worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti cura Ointment, and'Cuticura Resolvent, He began to use them without confi dence but after three weeks all the 'sores were dried up. The burning firo stopped, and' the pains became bearable. After three months he was quite well. Two years later the pains and sores came back after he had been working hard and had taken cold. But as soon as he used Cuticura again It cured him. Two years ago I used Cuticura Pills for general debility. They did me a great deal of ood and made me well. Three months since I had pains in my back and Cuticura took them away, too. I can prove this testi monial at nnv time. Mrs. V. V. Albert. Upper Frenerrville, Me., July 21, 1907.'
