100 BOYS
w anted!
Easy Work for Boys to Earn
Money for a Short Time.
Begin Work at Once and Keep it
up until School Time.

The Review wants 100 boys in
Brown and Nicollet counties to
work for 1t this summer and to
the boy who secures the largest
number of yearly subscribers at
$3.50 year, a Boys Suit of
Clothes, the best that Hummcl
Bros. have, will be given. To ali
others who send in subscriptions
the Review will give / of all the
cash paid BY tie subscribers they
secure. Thus, if they get ten sub
scrlbers and five are paid, that
will be $3.50, which would give
the boy who sent the subscriptions
$3.50. If all ten are paid he would
get $500. The subscribers who
do not pay IN advance only count
for the one who gets the largest
number of subscribers. And If a
boy gets but one subscriber and he
pays in advance, the boy gets so
cents; if he doesn't pay, the boy
does not get anything. The least
number of subscriptions that will
count for the suit will be FIVE. In
case the boy who gets the most
names wants to take his per cent
of the cash be has secured, instead
OF the suit OF clothes, he may do
SO. No subscriptions will be
counted for less than one year.

UNION, s. c., DECEMBER 25, 1908.
IN THE SOUTH.

The great hubbub raised by the
report that John G.. Capers, South
Carolina member Of the Republican
National Committe, had sat down to
dinner with Judson Lyons, colored,
member Of the committee for Geor-
gia, shows the utter hopelessness of
attempting to build up a decent
white Republican party in the South,
SO long as there is the necessity for
meeting negroes on terms Of social
equality.
There are many of our most enter
prising citizens who fully agree with
the financial and industrial policies
of the Republican party and some of
them went 50 far as to vote for Nc
Kinley in 1900.
Mr.. Mckinley recognized the con-
dition of affairs and was doing all he
could to promote the building up Of
such party here, but his untimely
death put stop to it all.
While we recognize Mr.. Mckin-
ley's patriotic motives, and deplore
his loss, more especially since Roose-
velt has shown himself to be per-
feet fire-brand to the country, we do
not believe there was ever chance
for a decent Republican party here
while the negro has the franchise.
By repeating those amendments to
the constitution, comforting this
privilege upon him, he himself would
be most benefited, while the country
at large would be relieved of one Of
it's greatest causes Of unrest.
That such a thing will eventually
be done is now considered probable
by many Of our leaders Of tho ught
both North and South.

The State has published and sent
out as supplement an excellent
map of Panama and surrounding
countries, showing routes and dis
tances of the canal from the most
important seaports Of the world.
The superior advantages possessed
by the Southern ports on account
of their being so much nearer, is seen
at o glance. There. are also on the
same sheet an enlarged map of the
State of Panama and another gi wing
the horizontal section or profile Of
the canal. This is a valuable map
and should be kept for future refer
epce, as existing maps, having been
made prior to Panama's coming so
prominently to the front, are not at
all satisfactory.

Tammany's Problem.

Since the election in New York Mr.. Nc
Clellan has been in this city attending the
special session of Congress. and Leader
Murphy of Tammany Hall has been resting
at the Virginia Hot Springs. Neither man
has been very laxative. but the impression
has gained ground from the little that they
have said that New York under the new
administration is not going to be wide
open many people have imagined. Mr..
Murphy is described taking a partic-
ularly serious view of the situation and its.
requirements.
1t will be in the power of these two men
to disa ppoint all of their enemies. They
are reasonably certain TO work together.
and together they will control the town. If
they decree that the sporting fraternity

ragua route accepted the Senate's action
because of a belief that the Panama Canal
Company could not pass - good title. or
that satisfactory treaty with Colombia
could not be negotiated. and that the Mica
rahua route would in the end have to be
chosen. The Star has no means of knowing.
The President proceeded promptly with
the business The Attorney General having
passed favorably upon the ability of the
canal company to confer title. negotiations
were opened at this capital with a special
representative of Colombia for treaty.
Terms were arranged, liberal toward CO.
lombia. as was thought in this country, and
Colombias representative signed them.
When. however, the government at Bogota
took up the question of ratification, hitch
at once developed. AS many people believed
in this country, the transcontinental rail-
road companies. having been outgeneraled
here. had transferred headquarters to Bo-
gotta. and now confronted us from that
point. The haggling and the long delay that
followed are easily recalled.
At last. however, the definite announce
ment was made that the treaty had been re-
jected by the Colombian congress; and the
question at once arose as to the Presidents
next step. 1t was held in some quarters
that he should turn at once to Nicaragua
and Costa Rica and begin negotiations for
the Nicaragua canal This was Mr.. Nor
gan's view. This was The Stars view, and
was expressed in several editorials. On the
other hand. the phrase within a reason
able time and upon Reasonable terms was
quoted leaving the President discretion
in the premises, on the ground that before
acting he must himself be convinced that a
reasonable time had elapsed.
At the moment that this discussion had
grown to be most interesting came the news
of the secession of Panama and the setting
up of the new republic. This of course
meant canal treaty at once and on terms
satisfactory to US. The treaty has been
signed, and is now well advanced toward
ratification. The canal then at Panama is
at last in sight; and The Star, originally for
Nicaragua, and still regrettng that that
route was not chosen, accepts the result.
because of the belief that further contest by
Congress would operate against the whole
canal enterprise
The Star has followed Mr.. Morgan too
long in this matter not to be well advised
of his entire sincerity and good faith. He
brings those qualities to bear all the
public questions with which he occupies
himself. 1t regrets therefore his present at
ttude in the premises though it does not
fear that he will be injured by it. His fame
in connection with the canal is secure: for,
while many others have assisted in the pro-
ject, he has led the procession which at last
stands upon the very threshold of the great
work so long contemplated and fought for.

Laugh is on the Senate.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
If any senators think they have put the
President in hole" by the arrangement
to defer vote on the Cuban bill until the
regular session. they will do well to think
the matter over further. They have in
stead called renewed attention to their
ridiculous position as members of a great
Legislative body which can legislate only
by unanimous consent. Speaker Cannon
does well to hold the Senate in session
until the regular meeting day in December.
The spectacle of the Senate gathering day
after day to no purpose. simply because it
is incompetent to get down to the only
business before it and take a vote which a
vast majority want to take. may convince
even the senator's most enamoured of the
abuses of unlimited debate that reform is
imperatively necessary. The Senate kept
in for not doing it's task, like stupid or
inattentive schoolboy. may possibly emerge
a reformed character. So far. however, as
the execution of the Cuban treaty is con-
cerned, it is not probable that such dis
culinary measures will accomplish any
thing more than will be secured by vote
as agreed on December IL.

No Rough Play.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the police
attendance at the local foot ball game
tomorrow, requested by citizens, will prove
to be unnecessary. The game is rough at
best but there is a determined effort on
the part of the managers of some of the
larger teams to keep the brutality at
minimum. Thus far this season. de-
spite these endeavors, there have been
seventeen deaths on the foot ball field and
more than sixty-five serious injuries, some
of which may later serve to swell the death
list. This Is a heavy penalty for the peo-
pie to pay for the sport of their sons. 1t
approxlmates the casualty list resulting
from the foolish Indulgence in dangerous
explosives on the Fourth of July.
There can be doubt but that many of
the injuries sustained by players are due
to the deliberate brutality of their oppo
nents The game is based upon the single
principle of weakening the enemy's line,
so that it can be broken. To do this ne
cessitates both blind rushes and carefully
planned strategy. In the former category
falls the persistent pummelling of ind-
vidual players, the strong men of their
teams 1t is an open secret that often
the order is given by the team captain to
Ego for a certain man on the other side.
He is bumped, tripped, kicked and in the
melee often deliberately beaten. Some
times certain men are assigned to do this
dirty work" Rarely can the umpire see
these assaults, for they are committed I'M
der cover of the PUSHES and downs The
brutal player is usually careful to conceal
his offenses. for he breads disqualification.
If the rules of the game and the dispo-
sition Of some of the managers Will not
prevent it from degenerattng into a series
of physical encounters marked by death
and dsablement,. then assuredly it is nee
essary for the police to take hand. An
injury inflicted in a game without delib-
crate intent may, be condoned. But the
chances are that such an injury is the re-
suit of fierce purpose to hurt the other
side as much possible, and 1t would
doubtless be within the scope of the law
to draw an indictment against every mem
Der of a team whose policy of play results
in the serious disablement or the death
of member of the opposition.
The death of young Bahen nine years
ago in this city in consequence of injuries
received at a foot ball game shocked Wash
ington almost to the point of demanding
the absolute prohibition of the sport. The
people of this city want no revival of the
rough play such as led to that tragedy and
will insist upon sufficiently rigid police
SUPERVISION of the game to prevent or pun
ish brutality 1t is well to prepare for
these matters and TO speak plainly in ad-
vance. For after the disaster is too late
