Base Ball

The reporter spent a while at the
Gun Club grounds, watching game
of ball between the Vets and
"Colts." We we're told that the
Vets were made up of West Siders
aud the Colts of the East Side. The
game was very tame for the first
two innings-so tame that many of
the regular players put 'pick ups"
in their places and left the grounds.
When the third innings was called
the Vets went to bat and before
they we're retired, punched the "pig-
skin" for ten runs. The Colts got
nettled at this and when they got
the bat they hammered the ball all
over the field and run the bases, as
though there was not sentry on
duty to stop them. After this the
same took on degree of interest,
and those who we're out to see the
game gathered nearer the plate
and watched every ball delivered.
There was some clever plays and
many rocky ones, but then the
young men don't claim to be pro-
fessionals, and we have no right to
kick. We are glad to have them or
ganize these clSbs, as the game
gives them exercise, is health
producer, muscle maker and tends
to build up bone and sinew in the
growing adolescent.

Yesterday Mr. Elijah Mitchell,
was out driving with one of the
Blythe teams. After he had de
posted his fair partner at her home
and while on his way to the stable,
he ran upon the marching column Of
the Salvation Army and the horse
was frightened at the sound Of the
drum and made a "spurt,' which
was unlocked for by the ribbon
holder, and before the lines could be
frightened, the horse made a quick
turn to avoid the water trough at
the intersection of Broad and Vine,
and Mr. Mitchell was unseated and
shot through space like a ball from
a "Long Tom" The horse kept on
down Broad street, with Mr.. Harry
Blythe in pursuit until the water
works was reached and the horse
was captured. The buggy was not
damaged with the exception of
losing one spoke, Mr. Mitchell made
a landing In mud hole and was not
hurt, but you should have seen that

porter reached him and inquired II
he was hurt, he said, looking at the

\ COLONY CONTAINS LESS PROM
Use OF TRUE GROWTH than does a
state like Venezuela or Ecuador. The
history of most of the South American
republics has been both mean and
bloody; but there is at least u chance
that they may develop. after Infinite
tribulations and suffcrings, into Il civ
ilization quite as high and stable as
that of such European power as
Portugal. BUT THERE is NO SUCH
CHANCE FOR ANY TROPICAL
AMERICAN COLONY owned by n
Northern European race.
Written long before colonialism was
an issue with us. this could not have
been more applicable had Roosevelt
penned 1T yesterday as n plea against
Imperialism. 1t declares plainly that Il
people make moro progress under q
poor government of their own than I'M
der any government, however efficient,
imposed on them by others. Every
fact of history and contemporary ex-
perience backs up the assertion.
Against Mckinley and Roosevelt
the candidates, stand arrayed Mckinley
and Roosevelt. the Americans. The lat
ter opposed colonization: the former
favor it. Which are right?

THE AMERICAN VS.. THE

Mr.. Mckinley is on record rs de-
claring that to make war on the Fill
pinos for the sake of seizing the Phil
ippnes would be criminal aggression"
Afterward he changed that to "benevo-
lent assimilation" lie declared it was
our plain duty" to give the Porto Ri
cans absolute free trade. He subse-
quently urged the 10 per cent. tariff
law, which was the beginning of his
colonial policy.
Theodore Roosevelt is now tho siren
uous advocate of Imperialism and Mill
tarism. which follow necessarily from
Il grating OF colonialism on our ma
tional policy. Yet Teddy was not al
ways so sure that system of colonies
was n blessing, either to the home
country or to the colonies. In his book
entitled American Ideas and Other

THE ARMOR PLATE HOLD-UP.

The Armor Plate Trust has over
reached itself in it's bids for furnishing
armor plate for the new battleships
provided for under the recent act or
Congress. So outrageous was the at
tempted extortion that the Secretary Of
the Navy, to whom discretionary power
was given by Congress, felt impellcd to
reject the bids and advertise for new
bids.
The amount for which the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies sought 10
gougc the government was $5,0OOCO0.
Each of these companies submitted an
identical bid providing that the amount
of armor the government requires
should be divided equally between the
two companies. II was an unmistaka-
BILE command to the government 10
stand and deliver" so clearly an at
tempted Squeeze that there was a
disposition to fnvorably consider the
bid of the Midvale Steel Company,
which was reasonable as to price, but
asked for over two years time in which
to begin delivery.

democrats were right in contending for

WRONG THEN, WRONG NOW.

The present long coal pier of the Nor
folk and Western railway at Lambcrt's
Point was originally built without au-
thority that was competent or legal.
In 1883. when the pier was begun. there
was no Port Wardens line beyond Fort
Norfolk. only IL line recommended by
the United States Advisory Board.
which ran 500 fcot inshorc from Lam
bert's Point light. With no other au-
thority than the permission of General
Groner. then Chairman OF the Board
OF IIarbor Commissioners, this pier was
run 500 feet beyond the line which had
been recommended as n Port NVarden's
line by the United States Advisory
Board.
Such is u brief history of how the
present long pier came to be built. The
whole proceeding smacked of u job and
midnight raid. The Norfolk and
Western merely went to Lambert's
Point and built it's pier out into the
harbor because everybody's business is
nobody's business, and none took the
trouble to say it nay. What could be
"easier?"
or course. It was an outrage, but
what was to be done about it? Moth
ing was done. and the pier has re-
manned as an obstruction to navigation
and an example of successful Gf not
benevolenD, assimilation of about a
half mile of the public water way.
Lambcrt's Point was the worst place
On the river for such n pier. from the
point of view OF public convenience.
1t had the effect to thrust what was
already an elbow or land still further
out into the river. whereas if the pier
had been built to the north or the
south. not of the present pier merely,
but of this elbow OF land, 1t would not
have inconvenicnced navigation for
small craft or large.
This was the original wrong that has
never been righted and which the con-
struction of additional long piers will
make 1t increasingly difficult, il not I'M
possible. to right. II is no where set
down in law or in morals that two
wrongs make one right.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-08-15
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION.

In view OF persistent efforts to befog
the issue the Virginian- Pilot reiterates
that 1t is not opposing, ard has not
opposed. granting permission to the
Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pnny to build another coal pier, or as
many coal piers as its business may
require. What the Virginian- Pilot op-
poses. and all that it opposes, is extend
ing such pier or piers out to q point
where they will interfere with naviga-
ton. and where they will be in the
way Of any subsequent broadening and
deepening of the channel. The length
of pier that should be permitted was
and is the only point at issue.
The Norfolk and Western says that
to build another pier out to the same
distance from shore as the present long
pier. would not interfere with naviga-
ton. and that the present pier does not
SO interfere. The Virginian-Pilot takes
the ground that the long pier at Lam
bcrts Point interferes with small craft
and should be shortened. and that 10
pier hereafter should be allowed to go
further into the river than the line re-
commended in 1883 by the United
States Advisory Board, 500 feet inshore
from the Lambert's Point light. The
Virglnian-Pilot has given, from day to
day. great mass of lay. and profess
s!onal opinion to substantiate the posi-
ton 1t has taken. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company has not
shown that by building several shorter
piers 1t cannot get ample facilities for
handling its coal. 1t would cost the
but the margin of profit on coal under
present conditions will amply Justify
the additional expense, which would be
inconsiderable.
The question is not one OF pier or nc
pier. II is one of q Iona pier in the
way OIL navigation. or shorter piers not
IN the way Of navigation. To the sole
judgment of former Chairman Groner
VINO allowed the present pier to be
bnfit on his own authority, the Virgin
lan-Pilot opposes the Judgment of the
United States Advisory Board, which
liked the limit 500 feet short of the
terminus Of the present pier; and the
OPINION OF the Board which succeeded
shall the Norfolk and Western be
permitted to build another coal picr
cut to the limit set by Chairman Gro
'cr' OF shaii us pier be terminated SOC
feet short Of that. at the Advisory
BOARD line? That is the only question

REPUDlATED IN WISCONSIN.

The Republican convention in Wis
consin did not toy with Imperialism
TO an any great extent. In fact. 1t
went as near to outright repudiation
of the national Republican policy as
1t could do and maintain its regularity.
The chairman OF the convention be-
labored Mr.. McKinley's doctrine, that a
republic may have subjects.
These things We're done with view
to keeping Wisconsin in the Republican
column in state matters at any cost.
1t was likewise supposed that it was IL
good play to make for the national
ticket. though for just what reason is
far from apparent.
The significance OF this action Is TO
be found in The light II throws on Ger
man sentiment. The German vote in
Wisconsin is large. The Republican
leaders have found with which side of
the leading issue German Americans
are inclined to ally themselves. and are
endeavoring to prevent stampede to
the Democracy.
Nothing. thus far. has shown SO
clearly that the Republicans stand to
lose the German vote this fall. as the
action of the Wisconsin Republicans.

THE WEST COMING EAST.

a most encouraging sign of the repu-
tatiop OF the Hampton Roads section.
and Norfolk in particular. was the very
high bids for Norfolk city bonds made
n few days ago by Western firms.
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis seem
to be reversing the advice OF Horace
Greedy. At least. they seem to have
done well in going West" as young
men. and arc now sending their capital
to the East or South for investments.
The great reputation of our harbor and
harbor facilities act as a guarantee. on
the part of nature that Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Berkeley shall be great
port.
1t is gratifying to see tho eyes OF
financicrs OF the West turned towards
the South. Norfolk has heretofore
looked to the East and North for
money with which to develop her
great and unparalleled resources. 1t fol-
lows that the thousands of dollars
| made by these people have attracted
| our Western friends. Let the good
work go on. Let the natural advan-
tages and resources be preserved and
well advertised: for that appears to bC
all that is necessary in order to In
duce capital to come.

Il quote here a sentiment from your
editorial of yesterday that was in very

hope of the commonwealth.
The need of North Carolina is to
strengthen and enlarge the work of all

school house to the colleges and univer-
stiles, but the crying need is to give a
four months good school in every dis
1rct in the State. We hope the Demo-

solemn pledge 10 do this.
