LEAGUE IS AGAINST
 ANY BASEBALL WAR

Expressions have been obtained from the owner of every team in the Southern league and they are unanimous in their decision to stand by President Kava- haugh and not have the threatened base ball war.
 The light is by the Class A leagues on the American league, because Ban John son refused to come to their terms, and this Is an effort to bring him to terms. The plan cannot be successful unless the southern league joins the kickers. and President Kavanaugh is against gong m, so there is no chance.
 Eight Southern league moguls were consulted by wire by the Atlanta Journal ana all of them expressed unbounded faith in President Kavanaugh. and said that whatever he said went.
 r. G' Sheppard of the local team stated In his reply to the Journal that he was satisfied to do as President Kavanaugh thought best and would be guided by the wise judge who heads the Southern league The views of the president of the league are expressed as follows:
 The Southern league is opposed to war with the majors. We are opposed to breaking the national agreement. As long as l am president 1t will stand for the Cincinnati peace agreement. Griffith O'Neil and Tebeau stand for nothing but themselves and their own selfish inter ests. If they had even the proper con ception of decency about them they would not attempt to array any Southern league f.ltfh f..ek 4t.
 ''W. H. KAVANAUGH,
 President Southern League"
 The proposal of Class A teams to Ban Johnson was as follows;
 That a new league class-"Class AZ be formed. Southern league be elevated to Class A. From Class A only one man should be drafted from each club and sl5O0 should be paid for each man. From the Southern and Western leagues. both of which would be in Class A, only two men should be drafted from each club and 5000 should be paid. This scale would correspond all down the line.
 Ban Johnson came back with counter proposition that the draft price be $1O00. and that as many players as desired be drafted from each club. He also said that this proposition could be given a one year trial, and then, if 1t was not satis- factory, his league would consider any other proposal.
 President Kavanaugf and some of the older heads favored this plan but it was turned down, and the matter stands at present as 1t did before the first proposi- ton was submitted.
 Chairman Garry Hermann of the Ma tional Baseball Commission Is not in the least worried over the rumor of war in baseball circles The threatened revolt of the Class A leagues against the Amer lean will soon die out he thinks, and the national agreement remain intact for years to come.
 q look on the recent move of Griffiths and others as a play to strengthen their own forces-nothing else. It will all end peacefully.

 Manager Vaughan has received letter from Lew Whistler stating that there would be no trouble about Dusty Mill Ter reporting to Birmingham. He belongs to Birmingham without any argument, and according to the mogul of the Mem phil he Is all in" when it comes to ready cash, and will have to accept the Bir- mingham money, or not play ball this season.
 If Miller is going to report it Is about time that he was letting his shadow darken the gateway to West End, as tse Barons are beginning to get into chaS pionship form and "Dusty's" bulky form would look pretty well In left field.
 A letter has been received from Catcher Clarke stating that he was in fine shape and would report to Birmingham on the thirtieth of this month, in time to catch one of the games against the Reds if he was needed. Clarke was permitted to train college team and is in fine condi- tion. He wrote to Manager Vaughan that he expected to have the goods in Lice sized packages this season.
 Carlos Smith, the outflelder that Bir- mingham was after, is included in the try-outs for Mique Finn's Toledo bunch, which has just started on a training trip. The team will be picked from the follow ing twenty-two men: Pitchers, Lund- blom, Lee. Camnltz Martin, Childs. Loucks, Wilder eatchers, Yaeger, Roy Clark (Brown University); infielders. Kemmer and Calhoun, first base; Gene De Montrevllle, second; Cl.ngman. short stop: Moriarity, third base; Grubb and Blackburn, utility men; outhelders, GIl- bert, Durett. Carlos Smith, Butler and O Hara.
 Jack Ryder, in the Cincinnati Enquirer, has the following to say about Ed Min nahan, who was the Barons star twirler last season:
 There was nothing to chose in the work of the trio of candidates for perma- nent jobs in Redland. Each pitched practically perfect ball for early season. Ed Minahan showed the same nerve and coolness that he first put on exhibition In the Vets-Colts game of Sunday. His time of trial came in the third inning, when Newham and Chapple lead off with clean drives and Fleming placed a safe bunt in exactly the right spot on the third base line filling the bases with no one out, and the heavy end of the batting order at work. The Reds already had a safe lead and a couple of Jay tallies wouldn't have hurt but the Birmingham recruit was there to see that they didn't get them and they didn't He worked both corners of the plate on Gaudinger, the hard-hitting center fielder, and struck him out. Manager Fender would have given more than he price of a shine for hit but the best he could do was an easy grounder, that Minahan fielded to Blankenship in time to force the runner at the plate. Bod Spade was the next victim, and his three wild swings at the ball came in succession without even a foul sandwiched in between. It was a great bit of pitching for the Red recruit, and he retired full of glory and perspira- tion."

For hOiier Holidays.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Two demands are just now beginning
to make themselves felt, one for more
sane celebration of the Fourth of July
and the other for more reverential OBJ
servance of Memorial Day. These two
holidays, radically different in origin
and spirit, are now celebrated in much
the same fashion, which in the case of
Memorial Day is unbecoming and little
short of sacrilegious.
Only small proportion of the PoPula-
ton now observe Memorial Day in the
spirit in which it was originally set
apart. AS rule, it is given up to sports
and frivolity or dissipation of one kind
or another, and is observed in reverent
and becoming manner only by those
to whom the Civil War, with its suffer
ing and sacrifice, is living, ever-pre-
sent memory. 1t was perhaps newt
able that this should be so, but the fact
is not the less deplorable. The Legisla-
ture of Nebraska recently enacted a law
forbidding on Memorial Day all sports
and recreations that are now forbidden
on Sunday, law which is more than
likely to defeat its object, for people
can no more be made reverent or
patriotic by law than they can be made
virtuous. Appeals to their reason and
sentiment will prove more effective in
the long run.
A movement to this end has been set
on foot in the neighboring city of
Buffalo. Apparently no definite plan
has been formulated, but the general
purpose is to minimize as far as possible
the element of boisterous enjoyment
which has become conspicuous
on Memorial Day, to show the
people, the young in particular,
what the day really stands for
and to induce them to observe it in the
proper spirit. Naturally and fttingly
the Buffalo Grand Army Posts are the
leaders in this commendable campaign,
and their example might well be follow
ed by their comrades in this city.

THE VANISHING OsAGEs.
Luxurious Life Is Thinning Them Out, as
1t Does Penned. Up Game.

Kansas City Journal.
"The full-blooded Indian is gradually
passing, just as the deer or the wild
turker will soon die if penned up" said
Colonel John N. Florer, of Gray Horse,
Oklahoma Territory, who has lived with
the Usage Indians for thirty-three
years, at the Coates House yesterday.
"My prediction is that in twenty-five
more years there will not be full-blood
Usage left.
''When l first went among the
Osages the tribe comprised between
6, 900 and 5000 people. Now there are
but l, 700 or 1900 of them, including,
of course, all those of mixed blood.
The Osages have been holding their
own pretty well in point of numbers in
the last four or five years, but they are
doomed to go the way of their fellows.
1.-The dying out of the race is due in
large measure to the change in their
habits of life. They used to be out in
the open air all the time, and when they
travelled it was always on horseback.
Even when they moved their camps
each Indian would round up his string
of ponies and make pack animals of six
or eight of them, to carry his belong
ings. Now they ride about in buggies
and carriages, the best to be had. They
are rich enough to afford all the luxu-
ries of that sort, and with no incentive
to exertion, their lives are about as far
removed from their former habits of
activity as.could be.
81 was present at the council near
independence, Kan, when the treaty
was signed by which the tribe surren-
dered to the government the Usage
coded lands in Southern Kansas, and
purchased in their stead the million and
half acres from the Cherokees, which
they have since occupied. That trade
was a good thing for the Osages. They
got SIPS per acre for the land, and the
deferred payments were to draw 5 per
cent. interest That mounted up rap
idly, and is the source of the anuities
which the Osages enjoy today.
"Those were the good old days which
the Indians always speak of as the
buffalo days. l went out on the plains
with them in their hunts for years. On
west from the Usage nation there used
to be times when one could see buffalo
for miles and miles. At distance it
looked like dark surging sea. In one
year there 1 bought $4,000 buffalo hides
more than there are in the whole
country today. Of course there are
lots of the younger members of the
tribe to whom that is all tradition,
and they will sit around for hours and
listen to the elders talk of the old
times"

LyncDDurg news.
One recommendation of rural free de-
livery is that it stimulates road i'm
provements. The government does
not require the carriers to deliver the
mails when the roads are in a dangerous
or impossible condition. When the adj
vantage of free mail delivery in the
country is appreciated by any commun-
ity, that community will see to it that
they are not deprived of those advan-
tages by the condition of the roads.
The government cannot make the roads,
but it can hold out as a reward for good
roads the extension of the free delivery
system. In this way an incidental, or
perhaps, it would be more correct to
say, direct benefit, will result from free
mail delivery in direction not at first
contemplated. The residents in country
districts will reap the double benefit Of
being put into contact with the centers
of trade so that they can reach market
with less expense and worry, and they
will be able to keep up with the course
of current events through papers and
letters delivered at their doors. In this
way one of the great drawbacks of
country life will be removed, and the
tendency to leave the farm for the city
will be checked.

The Cost Of Civilization.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The Moro outlaws have been hunted
down and Pala, their chief, has been
killed by American soldiers. This final
quelling of a savage tribe will doubtless
cause bitter tears to rise to the eyes of
the anti-imperialists. Pala will be
christened martyr by this band of
Littler Americans.
These critics who sit in coy parlors
10, 900 miles from Philippine swamp
may glibly enough rail at the work done
by soldiers Of the United States. With
the same consistency they could con-
denim the action of the old New Eng
land Pilgrims for defending their new
made homes against the ravishes of
Indians, The Moro who murders and
robs peaceable citizens of the Philip
pines is a savage who does not know
any more about self-goyernment than
the Indians did two centuries ago or to-
day.
The work of bringing order, good
government, schools and enlightenment
in a hundred ways to the Philippines
has been accomplished by the Ameri-
cans with an amazingly small amount
of hardship to the natives.
