example.
There have been established cases In
tho public library where many articles Of
colonial. and revolutionary days are ex-
hibited and preserved" said Mrs. Troup.
THE chapter has prepared and carried out
a program Of historical study OF several
states and have offered medals for the
best essays on Religion In the Colonies.

In conclusion. Mrs. Troup urged that the
women lend their moral and material sup
port in advancing the work OF marking tho
historical spots Of the state or com
memorating some event of history, as they
had decided to do at last months meet

distinction of being the first club TO buy

CHICAGO Dec. 6-President Ban John
son Of the American league returned from
visit In Ohio today full of confidence. The
Iast Few days he spent in Cincinnati and In
cleveland. In the latter place he held a
conference with Charles Somers regarding
tne new American league grounds in the
east. AS u result OF their meeting Somers
agreed to go east with Johnson next week
10 close up matters in Philadelphia, Balt
more and Washington. The two American
leaguers will be stationed in Philadelphia,
while tho National league magnates are in
session In New York.
There has been little change in affairs
since left" said Johnson. I'VE are fol-
lowing our carefully laid plans and have no
reason to change them. There has been no
understanding between the leauges and the
conferences between Mr.. Hart and myself
were not what they were represented to be.
We talked simply regarding grounds Mr..
Hart had no authority to talk for the league
and did not claim TO have. No agreement
between the two leagues has been drawn up
by US and ] am not sure that there will be
one. We can get along without one and
have prepared ourselves for every emer-
eency.
president Hart has been talking about
possible war and outlining the course the
National league might pursue in case OF a
clash. His remarks are thoroughly antag-
onistic to the best interests OF base ball,
as we'll as to any league which courts pub
lie patronage. lie is quoted as saying that
National league magnates could buy any
player thoy choose from the American league
and have him break his contract with the
club he had signed with. Such methods.
while not uncommon In the history of Ma
tional league base ball. are OF the vilest
sort In common law the man who causes
another to break a contract Is as bad as
the man who breaks the contract. why
this should be considered any better be-
cause they are base ball magnates l do not
see. National league methods have done
great injury to base ball and will continue
10 hurt the game II they are employed. I
should blackliss any player who jumps his
contract and score big mark against the
man who caused him to do II. Just such
methods drove the best president the Ma
tional league ever had from the Office, and
Il bids fair to send the present executive
into retirement"

Three Days Of Sports at the County Seat
Well Attended.

The fine weather last week drew q
large crowd to the sixth annual tourna-

the affair success, and praise is due
them for the really excellent manage

to the standard expected, although the

tract good horses. The bicycle races
were well contested and good time was
made by the speedy boys. The team

and the trophy remains with Aberdeen
for another year.

into an affirmation of the equal rights

1t was not, however, untilsthc conven-

to the skill and foresight OF republican
craftsmanship. TO ten millions OF the
human race there was given Il new birth
OF freedom, and to the American people

The ten million referred to are pre-

| place them but the prospect OF an EN-
pire--an empire dominated and CON
trolled for the solo and only purpose OF
making money out OF unwilling subjects
is enough to make the martyred Lin
coin turn over in his grave. We, the
republican party, by Emperor Mclianna
the First propose to give to the Filipinos
the greatest measure Of self government
consistent with their ability to govern
! themselves and to give it to them as
quick ae We are inclined to do so. In
other words we propose to give to the
Filipino part OF that which God AL
mighty has already given to them; and
that which the immortal Declaration OF
Independence says they are justly en-
titled to. We have absolutely nothing
to give to the Filipino that will in any
way benefit him. but the United States
as a nation is powerful enough to take
away from the Filipino his right to life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness,
without which he is incapable OF cvolut-
ing to higher standard OF civilization
and manhood.
