The Tower. of Silence.

In Persia stand two towers called by
the Parsee the Towers of Silence. Ac-
cording to the religion. they never bury
their dead. but have the body exposed
on the top of one of these towers until
the sun and the rain and the fowls of
the air have cleaned the bones of all
flesh. The bones are then collected
and placed in the other tower. These
Parsees, who are followers Of ZorOas-

from Manager Fred Pfeffer the list of

IT is announced that this is the COM
plete list and that Mr.. Pfeffer will not
have any more players nj the begin
ming of the season. As the list is
rather shorter than most managers
have made up for the beginning it is
taken as indicating that the manager
is sure of his men and will start. OFT
with good playing. The list is as fol-
lows: McGill. Dornmer. Bruce, pit
chers; Smith. Schewbridge, catchers:
Dickey. first; Pfeffer, second: Ryan,
short; Hankey, third: Burt. left; Nc
Quaid. center. Schmidt. right. Pfeffer
says that he is more than pleased
with the team and that he expects
to do good work with it. Some of the
teams signed by other clubs include
as many "a - men. but Pfeffer is SO
sure of his men that he takes only a
dozen. 1t means saving of money
for the association and confidence in

ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.

From q Republican and negro we get
D somewhat different view of the removal
of District Attorney Vaughan from the
reasons which have been made public.
This view comes from The New York
Age. one OF the principal negro organs
Of the country, which denounces Vaughan
as s.arch-traitor and migrate" and other
affectionate names of like character.
Among the significant utterances Of the
editorial we find this:
The President has summarily removed
William Vaughn from the position of
.,ssIci he has heid for NAM Years This
As swift and just retributSSn. We hope
the President and the friends of the
Afro-Americans in the South will spot
every Republican who allies himself with
this Lily White movement and see that
he Is decapitated as soon as possible. IS
has been done In the case Of Vaughn.
Let the case of Vaughn serve as an ex-
ample of what may happen TO all Re-
publicans who have acted as he has done.
or course we don't know just how
much editor T. Tom Fortune knows about
the AFFAIR. or what opportunities he has
had TO get at the inside facts. or wheth-
er he would state them correctly If he
ala know them, but the inference from
his language is plain enough. He evil
Naentiy intends to charge that Vaughn
S*as removed because he favored a white
RApubiican party. The Age states that
IA Mad been writing letters to the negro
deIeRates all over the State urging them
not to attend the. Convention, and tell
s..x them that cit would be a good thing
a. have one Republican Convention COM
nosed entirely of white men,"
we know nothing about Vaughn hav-
ing written such letters. but it does not
look reasonable that he would have done
N without knowing whether such
course would have been agreeable to the
president. And If those letters were the
cause of his unceremonious removal it
,,o,,ld seem to indicate that Roosevelt is
vary decidedly opposed to any Lily White
,,artv In Alabama. In that case the 9TH
- Republican officials who took part in
che Birmingham convention are in the
same boat with Vaughn. Why have they
not been admonished or dealt with? Pos
aibIy The Age is talking through its hat.
IT'S further threat or assertion that the
Arabana negroes will place a mark up
an every Republican who deserts them in
sAsa crisis'' will not have much effect at
.,~aaent. as their approval OF dlsapproval
win not materially help them to the bal
lot. 1t is a very pretty quarrel as 1t
stands, at all events.
