The Bloomsburg High School team
went up to Berwick on Saturday, and
showed Berwick how the game should
be played. The Berwick team was
composed Of players from Wyoming
Seminary, Bellefonte and Bloomsburg,
and no doubt thought they would
have things pretty much their own
way, but they found things quite
different as the game progressed, and
as the sun was sinking out of view,
Bloomsburg came off the field victori-
Gus by the score of 7 to 4. Sharpless
pitched a fine game for the High
School, and that, coupled with the
batting and fine fielding of the team
behind him, Berwick was never in the
| hunt.

BASE BALL.

Sugar Notch and the Normal
battled for supremacy on Athletic
Field Saturday afternoon, and after
nine innings, the game resulted in a
tie. Sugar Notch had the game well
in hand, until the ninth inning, when
with little loose playing on the part
of the visitors, the Normal succeeded
in counting six runs, and tying the
score. Sugar Notch gave a fine ex-
hibltion of ball playing, and had it
not been for pass ball by the
catcher in the last inning they would
have come off the field easy winners,
but nevertheless, Normal put up a
good game, and hit the ball hard.

REFORM in LOCAL AFFAIRS
Moral and Material Advantages of Honest
Home Rule.
MANY OBSTACLES YET TO 0VERCOM
A Review of the Conditions that De-
lay Progress and Causes Thereon
-Pnrtisunship and lndiher-
ence-Rcmcdics Proposed.

The first of a series Of papers on munic-
ipal reform undertaken by the publication
committee of the National Municipal league,
is from the pen of Mr.. Charles Richardson,
first vice president of the organization. Mr..
Richardson's paper deals with the obstacles
to honest, bUsiness-li like management of local
affairs and the means deemed necessary to
accomplish the end sought.
Nothing in American politics, says Mr.
Richardson. has seemed more unaccountable
and dscouraging than the apparent stupidity
OF the voters in our large cities.
During the early years of the agitation for
municipal reforms the apathy of the people
was attributed to a lack OF information, but
this explanation can no longer be accepted
as sufficient
No facts could have been made palmer OF
more universally known than the prevalence
of corruption, extravaganza and mcom'
potency in our city governments. Nothing
could have been more clearly demonstrated
than that these evils are due to the "spoils
system and to an excessive partisanshiT
and neglect OF public duties on the part ol
the citizens The folly OF entrusting the
common assets of great community to the
etching palms" OF such an universally dis
trusted class as the professional politicians
has been assailed with an unfailing stream
of argument and denunciatlon from pulpit
press and platform. There has been no lack
of clearnesS and earnestncss in describing
the demoralizing effect of municipal cor
ruption upon private character and the peril

lie business. The reasons for advocating
such policy in order to influence the tax
payers are sufficiently strong, but the ar
guments for resorting to 1t In dealing with
tho non-taXpayers are as much stronger as
the latter are at once more numerous, more
important and more difficult to reach in
any other way. 1t follows, therefore, that
reformers should take every opportunity to
urge the eXtenton of municipal functions to
all such matters as the supply of light,
water, street transportation, etc.
There are many economic and other ar
guments in favor of this policy and some ex-
cellent examples of its success in Glasgow
and other cities, but they cannot be dis
cussed within the limits of this article.
FALLACIOUS OBLIGATIONS.
The principal objections that have been
made to the proposed policy are that it is
too much like socialism, and that every ad-
dition to municipal business will lead to an
increase OF corruption, and strengthen the
political machines and the spoils system. in
order to show the fallacy of these objections
II may be suggested that If they were sound
a great deal Of work that is now being per-
formed by local, state and national govern
ments, including that of the United States
postotice, and the street cleaning depart
ment of New York, should be abandoned
and turned over to private contractors or
special corporations as soon as possible. 1t
may also be urged. as previously argued
that under our form of majority rule the
only way to secure the right kind of govern
ment is TO give 1t so much business that the
nontaXpayers will perceive and suffer from
its defects. and will be sufficiently inter
ested TO insist upon their cure. The progress
OF civil service reform in the United States
service is an illustration of the working of
this principle.
1t may be added in conclusion that as there
can be no bribe without brber. it is obvi-
GUS that there can be no better way to check
municipal corruption than to get rid of the
of 1t is due.
A brief study of the relations of some of
the street railway companies with city pol
itics and city authorities would be likely to
remove any doubt that might arise in this
connection.

Miss Arnold is an ardent student OF the
camera. Although member Of the club for
a comparatively short time, she is making
pictures that will cause older members to
move along more diligently. She is a fine
Judge OF graceful, easy pose and knows
how to bring it out in her work.
Durnall has at last found some one in
terested in his line of work. He Is an en-
thusiast on the "Grecian" picture and for a
long time has been unable to get any one
Interested in this peculiar branch OF photog-
raphy. Rooney has of late manifested an
inclination in this direction and he and
Durnall are forming sort Of partnership.
Although this cloudy weather is not en-
couraging to photographers the members OF
the Camera club are working night and day
to get ready for the exhibition. 1t promises
to excel all others which have heretofore
been given under its auspices The members
want all of their friends to drop into the
studio next month and see what an amateur,
when he feels that way, can do.
Rooney and Durnall think they are going
to have the edge on the other members of
the club They have purchased a large
Harrison lens and expect to reap results
which will cause the optics Of certain parties
to bulge with amaZement. Rooney made q
negative with this lens which for sharpness,
clearncss and roundncss is the envy OF all
the other boys.
G. f. Epeneter has been in a state OF
Information for some time past at least It
would appear to be so from the fact that he
seldom appears at the studio. lie says he Is
too busy, but the gang Is afraid he intends
to Jackslde. Ask any of the boys about the
smoker Gus gave the club last January. 1t
still brings smile to the faces OF all who
improved that occasion and there Is a sort
OF longing, hankerng sentiment that it may
soon be repeated.

tained murlntiC acid and which he had neg

IL involves for the state and national gov
ernmcnts. The immense moral and materlal
advantages of an honest, intelligent Dusi-
ness-like management of local affairs. the
mutual dependence and mutual obligations
OF fellow citizens. the principle that right
TO vote Is necessarily a trust for others as
well as a personal privilege, and the truth
that man who fails to vote for the com
mon good is social criminal, have all been
urged with a force and diligence whlch
could hardly be surpassed
MACHINE UNITY.
But notwithstanding all these efforts tho
masses have seldom wavered in their support
of bad men and bad methods, and with Few
and transient exceptions they have seemed
to be as little affected by the arguments and
appeals of reformers as a herd OF browsing
cattle would have been by the reasoning
of Socrates or the eloquence of Cicero.
Under these circumstances 1t seems natural
that the advocates OF reform should ascribe
their failures to the stupidity of the average
voter and conclude that their final success
can only be attained through the better
education of generations yet unborn.
more careful analysis will lead to the
entirely different conclusion that the voters
have had some very plausible reasons toI
the course they have pursued, and that re
formers instead of being surprised at the
slOwness of their progress should be en-
couraged by the gains which 1t has been pos
sible to make under such adverse conditions
In order to understand the motives of the
voters we must remember that they are
composed OF two classes, those who are, and
those who are not, the owners OF property
subject to municipal taxation.
For convenience we may speak of them
as taxpayers and non-taNpayers, although of
course directly or indirectly, all residents,
whether they know 1t or not, are more or
less affected by the local taxation. We
should also remember that the taxpayers

that arguments which appeal solely to the
former can have but little influence on the
results OF elections.
The proportions are doubtless materially
different in different cities, and it is diff
cult to obtain reliable figures, but official
rtatistcs compiled in Boston show that in
that city siX-sevenths OF the municipal vot-
ors must be classed among the non-taXpay-
ers

made the exposure in three seconds with an

three ounces of No and one ounce OF No 9
What we wanted was a strong contrasting
negative to print on aristo platno paper so
we developed until the high lights appeared
clear black. Then we washed the plate for
about one minute, then fixed the following
hypo bath until all traces of the free silver
disappeared: IIypo soda, five ounces; water,
sixteen ounces. Next we washed in run
ming water for twenty minutes. The result
was soft, yet contrasting negative, with
rlenty of detail. The lesson so far has been
so thorough that will never forget it,"
