PRESIDENT HOWELL TALKS.

HreSlQenl HOWELL edlu lhct cNculDEs
I'VE would never have attempted
to play Sunday ball did not
the public demand il. Business
men have come to us time and time again,
and asked for Sunday games, and the de-
mand has been general among lovers of the
game who cannot get off on week days.
We could not get along without their pa
tronage. The men do not get paid for
playing on Sunday. 1t is only matter OF
accommodation with them, because there
is not Sunday game on the sched-
ule 1 think it an outrage
to stop the gvme in that man
ner, and if we are prevented from playing
bali it is likely that good many other
people will hear from Sunday laws, so that
Wheeling may soon resemble PittsbuTg in
that respect. I think we will win the
case. 1t would certainly be a shame to
kill off the Wheeling ball club when it has
such 8 splendid opportunity to win the

The old saying Where rogues fall
out honest men get their just dues, !" is
being well illustrated in Ohio. Allen
O. Myers, long an editorial writer on
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and further
noted for his conviction and imprlson-
ment as tally sheet forger in the in
terest of the Democrats, made speech
before Youns Mems Democratic Club
Wednesday night of last week, on
which occasion among other things
he said:
II have worked for the democratic
party for seventeen years. l have
never asked for any favors, and yet,
because of the methods by which a
certain millionaire sought to gain his
seat in the United States Senate,
was made victim, and am to-day cal
ed tally sheet forger. But the men
who should be in the penitentiary OF
Ohio are men high in public and party
councils who inspired that crime. Pol
iticians may put up at auction pub
lie offices. They may sell and buy q
United States Senatorship. They may
bribe conventions and legislatures, but
there is one thing that can't be bought,
and that is public sentiment. "-Cheb

For twenty years the farmers Of thi.
country have been organizing, and or
ganization among this class has been
much more successful than it has ever
been among other classes of labor.
This statement will surprise those who
have not investigated the subject, but
1t Is nevertheless true. Other classes
have sometimes organized more rapid
ly, but their work has been less per.
manent. There has been a greater
degree OF harmony in farmers organi-
zations than there has been IN other
labor associations. While II Is true
that farmers clubs'-once quite an ex.
tensive system-and some independent
state farmers organizations have gone
to pieces, and while 1t is also true that
some OF the existing societies may not
be as strong numerically as they were
twenty years ago, there is more solid
ity to the present organizations, a
more perfect bond of unity between
them and much larger active mem
bersEip In them as u whole, than any
one organization possessed twenty
years ago. We doubt If the Patrons
of Husbandry was ever in better con
dition than it is to-day. It's member
ship is substantial and dependable.
The Farmers Alliance, Northern and
Southern, is a very large harmonious
and aggressive body of producers. The
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
is strong, especially in Illinois, and is
spreading rapidly. The Patrons Of
Industry. which originated in Michi-
gan, has gained a strong foothold in
that State and is commanding respect
full attention and confidence else
where, and the Agricultural Wheel is
a Southern States farmers organiza-
ton of power and influence.
The aggregate active membership of
all these organizations is not less than
one and half millions of the most
intelligent farmers in the country.
What promises to add to the power
of these associations too, is the rap
idly developing feeling in each of
them that the should unite their eff
forts for the public good, practically,
IL not under one government. Such
union has already taken place between
some of them, and there are to be
conferences held next month, looking
to more perfect unity. Thus there
has been a very steady advance for
twenty years among farmers toward
a more extended harmony of action
than has taken place among any other
producing class. The future promises
well for farmers organizations. THE

That gentleman of very unsavory
reputation in Ohio, but whose democ-
racy has never been questioned, Mr.,
Allen o. Myers, has taken new tack
and now is posing es an opponent to
millionnires for the United States sem
ate. After the we'll authenticated eff
forts of DIR. Myers TO steal the Iegis-
lature of Ohio for the Democrats by
ffaud and forgery, his denouncing of
the methods by which Standard Oil
Payne reached the senate looks suspi-
cious and very much like a case of
Satan rebuking sin. Nevertheless he
is telling some pretty straightforward
trdths to Ohio Democrats, that mnst
be, to say the least, somewhat I'M
Palatable to that party. Myers has
severed his connections with the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and says, jaiIbird
that he is, he feels above associating

The free trade papers are loud in the
claim that while protective tariff pro-
t,cts the IN lnufacturer it does not ben
eft labor. That they are wrong is
conclusively shown by the reports Of
the Scripps' League delegates 10 Eu-
rope, who unanimously report that
wages in protected United States are
from City to one hundred percent
higher. Not only are wages that much
greater in this country, but the dole
gates also admit that the living in this
country is as cheap as in Europe. This
shows that protection is benefit to
labor, and the result of the Presiden-
tial election last fall showed that the
laboring men were intelligent enough
to realize that fact. -Che5. Tribune.

General Nathan Golf, of West vir-
gininia, still clings to the hope that he
will get justice in his gubernatorial
contest in that state. He was here a
day or two since, and in conversation
said among other things: ut is a re-
markable test of the strength Of our
institutions that is going on in West
Virginia. They are proceeding under
the form of law to usurp the authority
and power vested in elected officers.
1t is law, bat 1t approaches anarchy.
The man who is drawing the salary OF
governor has no more right to it than
you have. He draws it quickly every
month as IL afraid that some one
would interfere to prevent him. The
present status of the contest is one

The Democrats of Augusta, KY, be-
came so enthusiastic over the success
of the Democrats in the recent state
elections that they thought the ICON
federate brigadiers were in the saddle
and expressed their exuberence OF Joy
by hosting a confederate flag. Owing
to the fact that the main dependence
of the Democrats is the Solid South,
they undoubtedly thought this fit
ting emblem to exhibit on account of
the victory. and in honor of the glori-
Gus result.

The low condition of wheat in Mich
igan is said to be due to the extreme
drought that prevailed just previous
during and since the time of seeding.
The yield of corn is placed at 1921
bushels of ears-about 25 bushels OF
shelled corn--or about 65-8 bushels
less than the average in Jne III years.

that the grain is OF poor quality, being
soft and immature. The area of clover
seed harvested this year is quite
largely in excess of that last year,
Potatoes are estimated at about three
fourths of an average crop.

Secrets of the Confess iOnal.

Here is an incident which shows how
carefully the principles of acoustics
should be applied to II building. A
church has been erected in Sheffield in
which the preacher was altogether un-
heard, however great his eNertion.
Various unsuccessful expedicnts were
tried, until the incumbent. happily in
this ease a scientific man. had Il large
parabolic reflector Of light wood con-
strEctcd and SO suspended that the
pulpit was in the focus of the para
boa.
BY such an arrangement the rays of
sound issuing from the focus of the
mirror would be thrown forward as a
parallel beam. The consequence of
this was that every word uttered in
the pulpit could be distctly heard
throughout the church; indeed, the
speaker was more distinctly heard at
the far end than at the intermediate
portions, because the parallel beam Of
sound was directly east upon those in
the distant gallery. Unfortunately,
however, the reflector acted in both
directions, If any one whispered in
that distant gallery the sornd of the
whisper was gathered into the focus
Of the reflector. The preacher placed
in that focus thus heard all the re-
marks that happened to be made by
the people sitting in the gallery, and
as it was anything but pleasant to
preach and listen To criticism on the
sermon at the same time the reflector
after Il while had To be taken down
The following amusing anecdote, re-
lated BY Sir John IIerschel bears addi-
tlonal testimony to the same truth:
''ln one of the cathedrals in Sicily the
confessional was SO placed that the
whispers of the penitents were reflect
ed by the curved roof and brought to a
focus at 4 distant part Of the ediiice.
The focus was discovered BY accident,
and for some time the person who dis
covered it took pleasure in hearing,
aud i'll bringing his friends to hear, ut
tcrances intended for the priest alone
One day, ii is said, his own wife occu-
pied the pcnitential stool. and he and
his friends were thus made acquainted
with secrets which were the reverse Of

He Was Vastly Superior.

The historian was in a country vii
lage near to Boston not long ago
when certain couple attracted his at
IGNITION. The wife was a trim, rather
attractive little body, with an erect
ness Of carriage that showed above the
generally slouehy figures Of her neigh
bors. 1t was learned that this was
due to her riding horseback, for which
she was locally famed as a girl and
won two prizes at the village fair.
