Temperance in Baseball.

Roger Conner, the first baseman,
leading batsman of the National
League as far back as 1884, announces
his retirement from the diamond after
playing the national game for twenty
five consecutive years. He was
contemporary of Arson and Kelly, OF
Buck Ewing and Tim Keefe, of Rad
bourne and Hornung and the other
great players of the National League in
the eighties. This will leave James H.
O'Rourke as the only player of that
period still in active harness. lie is
the crack catcher of the Bridgeport,
Connecticut, team, and his son, James
II. O'Rourke. Jr, is third baseman on
the same team.
1t is common enough to hear these
men referred to as "wonderful' play
ers in the length of time they have been
able to stay in the game. There IS,
however, nothing remarkable in the
fact. 1t is the direct and natural re-
suit of absolutely temperate habits
People who have had anything to do
with professional baseball are not long
in learning that intemperance is the
bane of the profession. While it is I'M
doubtedly true that the average stand
ard of the game has improved in this
respect during the past few years, ow-
ing to the growing appreciation among
club owners of the uncertain value of
players of loose habits, it is also true
that the saloon and the brothel are
constantly putting out of the game
men who might have remained in it as
long as Conner or O'Rourke if they had
possessed equal strength of character
Nature brooks no infringement OF
her laws. Her punishments may
sometimes be deferred, but they are in
evitable. This is true in all Depart
ments of human life. but nowhere is 1t
more emphatic than in the athletic
world. The time will soon come when
club owners will unite in hanging
above their club quarters this notice:
mo boozers wanted here" and will
live rigidly up to it, When this is done
the next generation will have a chance
to see more men of the Conner and
O'Rourke stamp still playing the
game.

The Centennial of the Argus.

A century is not so very long as the
ages and aeons are figured on the
ledgers of Time, but it is a pretty ex-
tended period when it comes to the life
of a newspaper. Few newspapers in
this country have had the privilege of
celebrating their centennial-the Port
land Advertiser was the first in Maine
to enjoy the privilege-and now the
charmed circle. 1t was founded 1CO
years ago, this month, and last Satur-
day the Argus issued centennial num-
Der of which the publishers and Port
land have reason to be proud. 1t is
48-page issue with a cover bearing an
appropriate and most artistic drawing
by Paul Goold. The issue has COM
plete history of the paper, and many
interesting illustrated articles on the
past and present of Portland, making
it well worth preserving. An interest
ing feature is a fac-simile of the first
edition of the Argus, a little four-col-
umn, four-page affair which appeared
September S, 1903, with Nathaniel
Willis, the father of the poet of the
same name. as the editor
Through all these years the Argus
has prospered, giving the news to in
creasing thousands of readers and for
generations recognized as one of the
leading newspapers of Maine. For over
three fourths of a century the Journal
and Argus have exchanged calls,
weekly at first and daily in these later
wears. and through all of that time it
has been our unpleasant duty to differ
with it's opinions on political matters.
And we expect to differ with it for at
least a century more, for the Argus is
so everlastingly obstinate and so un-
comfortably brilliant in the defense OF
its sadly mistaken political ideas that
We expect it to be fully a century be-
fore we can convince it of the error of
its ways and bring it into the fold of
Republicanism. In the meanwhile, in
common with everybody else who
knows the Argus, We shall continue to
admire it's enterprise, respect it's abil-
ity, and enjoy a daily perusal of it's
weu-flled and neatly printed pages.

significant name it has since borne. Of
the original members of the association

and Hiram X. Morrell, Gardiner. OF
the honorary members only one is liv-

Carelessness with Fire Arms.
(Waterville MaiD.
Every fall one reads in the news
papers of serious accidents occurring
through the careless handling of shot
guns. 1t is not a common thing for one
hunter to shoot another with a shot
gun, as is frequently the case with ri
fieS because the shotgun does not car
ry very far, but it is deadly enough
when it catches the man, or boy, hand
ling it at short range. 1t would seem
as if the veriest tyro in the use of q
gun would have more common sense
than to drag Il loaded gun through q
fence or from wagon, or boat, by
grasping it by the muZzle; and yet
several people are either shot dead or
badly wounded every hunting season
by doing just this. There is as in al
most every variety of manly sport, a
small measure of danger through acct
dents, but there is a multifold increase
of risk when gunners go to the extreme
of carelessness in the handling of load
ed firearms.
County Boards of Trade.
Oath independently.
A prominent citizen of the county out
side of Bath, makes a suggestion to the
Independent which seems to us an ex

of the county get together and form an
association. for promoting the interests
of Sagadahoc similar to a board of
trade in a city. He says that in some
of the western states this method has
proved to be an excellent thing for the
community and he believes that it
would be so here. Such an association
could discuss means for securing bet
ter trade facilities better roads, county
legislation and do what it could to in
sure the location of new industries, the
sale of unoccupied farms and many
other such matters. 1t seems to us as
if this is a matter worthy of considera-
ton
