1t is understood that Postmaster
General Smith, will ask Congress for
an appropriation of Sc, 600, 600 for the
support Of and extension of the free
rural delivery services during the
next year This is So, 500, 900 more than
was expended during the current
year. Wherever the free rural deliv-
cry is introduced it means the aboli-
tion of fourth-class post Office in that
district and of the services of mail
contractors and messengers. The new
service costs but little more than the
old and the increase in the sale of
postage stamps that has resulted from
bringing the postsoffice to the farmer
door has in many instances turned the
balance in favor of the new system

VIGILANCE NECESSARY,

Last year an unusually bold at
tempt was made to secure the passage
of bill for the abandonment of the
Morris Canal largely in the interest
of the Flynn Water Syndicate and the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. There
is not the slightest doubt that this
attempt will be renewed with vigor
at the next session of the Legislature.
Very possibly. too, the city of Newark
may throw its influence on the side
of abandonment for the sake of sim
plifying the problem of abolishing
grade crossings on the Lackawanna
in that city, where the canal is looked
on as a nuisance, q nuisance, how
ever, for which the city is itself
responsible.
In these circumstances the represen-
tatives of Morris, Sussex, Warren and
Passaic counties should take early and
active measures to defeat the scheme.
Especially they should disseminate in
formation as to the true character of
the bill, the influences that lie behind
it and the serious mischief and loss
which would be caused by the passage
of the bill. Morris County is parti-
cularly interested in the maintenance
of Lake Hopatcong as a healthful
summer resort, an interest which is
shared by all who live within hun
dred miles of this beautiful sheet of
water. To rob the public of this re-
sort for health and pleasure is con-
trary to all sound public policy.

ON LOCAL FOOT BALL FIELDS

Mr.. James II. Manning, managing owner
of the Washington base ball club of the
American League, has transferred practi
caly all his interest in the team to Mr..
Fred Postal of Detroit, the president of the
club. The final settlement was on a basis
originally offered by Mr.. Manning, and 1t Is
understood that he has quit the base ball
business for the present, fully satisfied with
his end of the bargain.
1t was a hard matter to CLEAN any Of the
details OF the transaction, but 1t Is gen
orally believed that Mr.. Manning disposed
of fifty-one shares of his stock and re-
tanned three. Mr.. Postal already owned
twenty-siX shares Of the stock and now
controls seventy-seven. The remaining
twenty are in the hands of local people.
Under the conditions of the sale Mr. Man
ming assumes a slight Indebtedness, and
will advance a certain share of the money
to be paid for new players.
The deal will probably take Mr. Manning
outside the base ball breastworks for next
season at least, but his understanding Of
the game Is so thorough that his return to
the national pastime can be looked fo. at
any time. There Is no question that Mr.
Manning's retirement Is regretted by every
base ball fan in the city, and when ne
bids good-by to Washington he will leave
a host of friends.
A dispatch from Detroit, Mich. says that
President Postal announced last night that
he had been advised by his attorney that
of Mr.. Manning's interest in the club. MIR.
Postal said that Mr.. Lotus would go to
Washington in a week or ten days TO take
charge of the club

Woman golfers representing the Baltusrol
and Essex County Country Clubs met yes
terday over the Morris county N. Y, links
to determine the destiny of the cup for the
team championship of the Women's Metro
poltan Golf Association.
The Baltusro people were able to put in
combination of exceptional strength, and
eventually won by 8 points to 0.
The teams had played throughout the sea-
son in the championship series with clean
bill of fare. and owing to this Morris coun-
ty was selected as neutral ground
Chief interest was centered in the match
between Mrs. E. A. Manice, who led Bal
tusrol, and Miss Genevieve Hecker, who
headed the Essex county organization.
Miss Hecker in her struggle the day pre-
cious against Mrs. Caleb Fox in the New
Philadelphia match had shown she
was far from being on her game, and when
Mrs. Manice finished up yesterday on her
rival little surprise was expressed
The best match was unquestionably that
between Mrs. N. P. Rogers of Baltusrol
and Miss Elizabeth Goffe. The last named

which would have been materially reversed

AT meeting Of the Debating Society of
the Schools Of Law and Diplomacy Of the
Columbian University last evening the dis
cussion was as to whether or not 'Presi-
dent Roosevelts action In dining with,
Booker 7. T.Washingtonlwas unwise" A large
audience of law students and Of the outside
public listened attentiyeIy, to the debaters.
and appiauded the telling points and ora
torfcal flights. The affirmative side Of the
question was presented BY Messrs T. P.
Guyton. j. A. Pace and r. A. Scott; the
negative by I. N. Tyckey, c. A. Macatee
and Richard Colbert.
The gentlemen on the affirmative. all of
whom were southerners, .contended that
Mr.. Roosevelts action was unwise. for the
feeling between the north and the south:
that It gave the negro a belief in social
equality, and thus made possible disastrous
results. They said it injured the republican
chances OF success at the polls.
The orators in the NEGATIVE argued that
the action was wise because 1t was right,
and because 1t afforded the President an
opportunity OF obtaining information con-
cernlng the negro question, and conse-
quently ef ameiiorating the negro's condi-
ton. Mr.. Macatee, who Is Virginian and

question reminded him Of the remarks of

statement that he really believed his client
to be guilty, but he would do his best to
