The fine imposed upon young
man of the county for breaking a car
window this week teaches lesson
which others on the Eastern Shore
can learn with profit. His act was
doubtless due to thoughtlessness, land
Others probably, for the same reason
have shot at and thrown stones and
other missiles at or into passenger
trains. Whatever the motive though,
which has prompted such a spirit of
lawlessness in the past, 1T should cease
and it is the duty Of every citizen,
who has proper regard for the safe
ty OF their lives to assist in the arrest
and punishment of the offenders.
Those at least who have shot at
cars for the fun it gave them should
take warning,if they would not COM
NIT a felony, which would bring dis
grace upon themselves and sorrow to
their friends by having to serve q
term III the State penitentiary. If
they will not desist for any other
reasons from such acts of lawlessness,
the terrors of thelaw should constrain
them, and we submit for their infor-
nation that we have a Statute in
Virginia that makes it penitentiary
offence for any person unlawfully to
shoot at or into or throw any stone
or other missile at or into any pas
senger train or car on any railroad
whereby the life of any person on
such train may be put in peril.
In this connection, having been in
formed that switch lamps have been
removed of late from their proper
places we submit also, that it is a
penitentiary otfense, when done ma
liciously and the life of any person
is or may be put in peril thereby.

If Canyon Could Only Bat.

One of the POLITICALLY inclined
sluggers of Canyon City base
ball club, while in a fit of de
spondency the other day in the
game with Tulia, handed a few
disconnected words of rhyme to
the Outstanding rooters some
thing in this style:
"If Canyon could only bat
We would be gay
Day after day,
And say to care, "Begone"'
Yea, we'd rejoice
With gladstone voice
And sing their praise at
dawn.
We'd never fret
Or fume. or let
Anxiety appear,
And still have homes
Though on the ropes
OF winning out this year,
If Canyon could only bat"'

a few at the Reunion anyway.

about the future that we almost
unfit ourselves for the duties and re-
sponsibillties OF the present, and GER
tainly are robhing ourselves of much
rational enjoyment that might be
ours under different circumstances.
In our sane moments we know very
well that we cannot read the future,
and yet there are times when we
torture our poor overwo rked brains
in theorizing, spfculating on, and
trying to penetrate the veil that ire
vocably hides the future from us for
our good.
This unnatural, unhealthy and pos

FIGHTS FOR SENATE
WAGE HERRILY ON
C2uCuseS Held in theVarious
States.

In the Senatorial field yesterday he
Republican members of the Connecticut
Legislature in three minute caucus
unanimously nominated the Hon Or
vile Il. PIatt to succeed himself in t!.e
United States Senate. There has never
been any question about the election
of Senator PIatt. The few Democratic
members of the Legislature may also
support him.
IN the North Carolina contest which
grows in interest day by day, the fea-
ture was the withdrawal Of Gen. Julian
S Carr. His vote was largely from the
old Confederates who remembered his
army service. and went principally TO
Watson. increasing mis- strength to If
ty-two, as against ffty-fve for Over
man, who only gained TWO by the with
drawal Of Carr. The strength of Craig
remains at thirty. and it is conceded
that If he canaot be elected to the Sen
ate. he at least holds the balance OF
power. and will be able 10 name the sue
ce5sful candidate.
The Republican and Democratic eau
cuses IN New York will be held next
Monday night. Senator PIatt viii be
nominated by the Republicans. and the
empty honor of a complimentary vote
viii be given by the Democrats to John
B. Stanchfeld, former candidate for
governor.

MORMON ORGAN SAYS UTAH
WILL EXERCISE RIGHTS
Not Terrified by Opposition to Apostle
SmOOt.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Jan. 16.-
The 'Deseret News official organ Of
the Mormon church, has this TO say OF
the caucus which nominated Reed smoot,
the Mormon apostle, for the United
States Senate.
The result Of the caucus shows that
the gentlemen who assembled remain
eunteTrifed at the attempts to frighten
them by the def Of manufactured
message from the President Of the Uni
ted States
Most of them take the same posi-
tion as we have occupied all along as
TO the unwise endeavor to compromise
the President. and therefore remain un-
influenced by the canard. others who
think the President has expressed some
opinion OF the matter stand BY their
undoubted rights to act as the repre-
sentatives of the people who elected
them. independent of any outside inter
ference. nc matter who may attempt it.
In this course the Legislature viii be
sustained by the public, as well as by
their own convictions Of what is right.
"A great deal has been said about the
noise this is likely to make throughout
the country. That win depend. Of course
upon the efforts Of those people, and
papers that threaten it. They may as
well understand now as at any time that
the majority Of the people of Utah are
not to be frightened BY noise or a
tumult Of any kind. Nor are they TO be
deferred by such means from doing any
thing that they believe to be right.
The election of a Senator, though not
at present a matter Of direct popular
choice is something IN which they have
an indirect vote and interest, and there
is no constitutional power or preToga-
tive that bars them from exercising that
privilege through their elected 1egisla-
lures"
