ton Thursday afternoon and de.
feated them by the score of 33 to
O. The visitors never had any
show of winning. Washington
and Lee repeatedly hammered
their line and skirted ends for long
gains. Momaw, full back, Bagley,
half. back, and Rasin, quarter
back, played good ball for Wash
ingtOn and Lee. Bowman, quarter
back, was the star player for
Roanoke. The halves were 20 and
Is minutes.

fought game of football took place
Monday afternoon on the parade
grounds when The Virginia Mill

Abusing the Flag,

There are two kinds of abuse of the flag,
and both are Objectionable. One abuse con-
sists in using the flag to advertise goods
enterprises or occasions, without arousing a
wholesome patriotism. Against this form
OF misuse the American people have raised
their voices in emphatic and effective pro-
test. But there is another abuse which arises
from an improper conception of public duty
and such case occurred the other day in
Minnesota. There has been a local agita-
ton around the city of Hutchinson against
Sunday base ball, but no court processes
have awaited to prevent the games, the
managers Of the sport having won their
cases Finally. aroused to pitch of high
Indignation, a woman. who is prominent in
the community as a temperance reformer
sought 10 put an end to the practice by IN
usual methods. She attended a Sunday
game with a large flag draped around her
gown, displaying placard with the words:
TO attack the flag of the United States
while it is being used in the enforcement
II law is, according TO the statutes, high
treason" When the game was started she
advanced 10 the center Of the diamond and
stationed herself thus attired. between the
pitcher and the batsman, in an effort to
have the flag hit by the ball. After a
ridiculous performance. the players trying

surrounding the determined woman and
forcing her off the field. The game then
proceeded without molestaton. This wo-
mans purpose was 10 enlist the federal au-
thorities in the crusade against the Sunday
BAN players but, OF course. she would have
failed To- do so. even If She had succeeded
In getting the nag hit by a ball. In thus
invoking the aid of the national emblem
she made not only herself. but 10 some de-

Baltimore's Grit.
From the Boston Journal.

FROM Inc Boston JournAl.
Baltimore proved her grit recently by
voting a loan of sl3 600, 900 for the improve
ment of the city. In February, 1904. she
lost over $4,000 900 in property and un
calculated sum in commerce. Before the
embers were yet cold she had appropriated
more than s. 100000 from the municipal
treasury for the restoration and improve
ment of the burnt district and 81, 0OOOOO for
the Improvement of the harbOr Now she
adds 100000 to this vast total for parks
and sewers. Two or three times 81. 900, 900
is being spent in Baltimore by private en-
terprlse in restoring the commercial struct
ures swept away by the fire. Most of this
goes to the city from insurance companies.
Practically all of 1t, and all of the SD 600,
900 voted by the city, will be spent in Balti-
more markets, going into circulation mme-
diately through Baltimore merchants and
Baltimore laborers. If it is well spent in
the beginning it will mean an of extra
ordinary business activity well as val
liable municipal progress. But it took cour
age to adopt this course. just the same.

Brain Work and Longevity.

From the New York Times.
1t begins to be understood by students of
vital statistics that mental activity instead
of being exhausting process tending to
shorten life, is in the highest degree con-
ducive to longevity If not complicated by
stated friction of worry. In case lately on
trial in London involving damages for soft
ening of the brain attributed to an accident
for which corporation was responsible
this subject was very fully ventilated, and
some of the most accomplished experts in
England gave testimony. a consensus of
opinion seemed to show that all alienists
are agreed that the best way to keep the
brain in good condition is to use it to the
safe limit of It's capacity.

Immigration Agents Abroad.

The latest developments of the Marcus
Braun case suggest that the American i'm
migration agents abroad require the pro-
lection of official CertihcatiOn if they are
TO DO their work satisfactorily to them
selves, this government. or the power with
in whose territory they are engaged Aus
tria has replied to the inquiries of the
State Department that if anything unpleas-
ant has happened to MIR. Braun in the
course of his performance of duty it was
the result of total ignorance on the part of
the government as to his identity posi-
ton or employment. This raises the ques-
ton of the agents status and his rights
as a representative of the United States.
lie has at present. it appears. diplo
matte powers or standing and therefore
no immunity from molestation.
The immigration problem has grown to
such proportions in this country as to call
for unusual methods in the regulation of
the inflow of newcomers. The question
arises whether this work, If undertaken in
any degree abroad, can be better done by
means of agents of the Treasury, accred-
tied by their own superiors to the proper
officials abroad or by attaches of. the en-
hasses and legations working such with
specific duties. If the latter eXpedient is
riopted these representatives gain the ad-
vantage of being immune from molestation
as they pursue their inquiries, 1t would
seem, further, that such delicate enter
prise as the ascertainment of facts relating
to the methods of immigration solicitors.
steamship companies and labor contractors
would properly fall within the category of
State Department efforts.
Cooperation between the State and Treas
ury department in the matter of immigra
ton is necessary at all times to insure re-
suits and to prevent friction with the for
elgn governments. 1t is clear from the
Braun case that the agents of the Treas
ury cannot be assured of freedom from
molestation as long as they undertake to
work quietly on their own authority in in
vestigating the conditions which surround
the encoura cement of steerage traffic
1t may be, of course, that Mr. Braun
can make a showing to this government to
refute the denials of Austria, proving that
his identity and his official character were
well known TO its authorities and that the
interference to which he subjected was
deliberate and intended to prevent the sue
cess of his mission. In that case specific
complaint will lie against Austria and
doubtless upon a full demonstration a
proper apology will be forthcoming. But
in any case the incident emphasizes the
necessity of u readjustment which will
henceforth prevent any possible misunder-
standing and remove all doubt as to the
right of our immigration agents, by what
ever title they known to work in for
eign countries for the prevention of the
evils of which this government has just
right to complain.

Internationally" in New York.

1t Is conceded that Mayor Mcclellan has
made a good executive of the city of New
York, when he is considered in the light of
his personal conduct and that part Of his
sphere of official activity which is not ham
pered by his allegiance to the power that
made him mayor. He is today accused of
no malfeasance in office, is acquitted of
corrupt dealings with the wicked partners
who have sought to reap a rich harvest of
franchises and contract connections, and is
generally held in an as an official who
has done his best in difficult circumstances
Therefore a disposition to indorse him for
reelection exists the part of some of
the leading members of the organization
known as the Citizens Union, the non-par-
tisan body of reformers who have had more
or less to do In the past with labors for the
publication of New York's politics. At a
meeting of the organization last night this
proposition was preached, but was resisted
by some members so stoutly that action
was deferred. the question of the unions
part in the campaign being referred to
nominating committee charged with the
task of adopting the best measures for put
ting ''non-partisan'' ticket in the field
Out Of this action has grown a belief that
the Citizens Union will indorse the Tam
many nominations for mayor controller and
president of the board of aldermen. That
such action would greatly strengthen Tam
many in the aldermanic contests Is as
sured, and II Strengthening were necessary
to insure victory it means that at the No
vember election the Tiger would be even
more thoroughly established in power than
before.
fhe Citizens Union puts forth a state
ment declaring for non-partisanshfp in
municipal elections. This is praisewor-
tiny program, but when applied to the New
YORK situation 1t fails of effect unless it
regards Tammany as partisan BODY.
craftsmanship of the right kind is sorely
needed In the big city, the kind that
strikes at any organization which stands
in the public eye for loot and license It
matters nothing to the taxpaying citizen
whether city administration is demo-
cratic or republican by specific designa,
ton. or whether it is comprised Of repre-
sentatives of both Of the great national or
CARNATIONS, so long as 1t Is honest But
an administration consisting of figure
heads elected by non-partisan votes and
aldermen elected by Tammany is non-par-
tisan to the worst ends, the mixture serv-
ing to confuse the judgment of voters and
to conceal the real viciousness of the CEN
trail power.
1t would be better for the genuine re-
formers of New York to stick to their old
program and adopt the single central prin-
ciple of fighting Tammany by any and all
means available. That is the best sort of
nonpartisanship. The now dominant or
ganiZatiOn in New York cares only for the
local plumber.
