Major Neif of Kansas City.

Jackson Examiner:
When j. Il. Neff was running for
mayor on the republican ticket and
w. T. Kemper was democratic nsmlnee
then the Kansas City papers fought
Kemper fairly and unfairly and told
OF the great things Neff was going to
do when elected Mayor. They made
a great many democrats believe they
we're telling the truth, aud democratic
votes elected Neff mayor.
We are sorry now. The very things
complained Of under Mayor Reeds
administration exist today, but are not
complained of. What WAS a crime
under Reed is something unavoidable
and excusable under Neff. The new
mayor has even dared to go into pol
tics and interfere with the running OF
the republican party. He ven goes
to Jefferson City and other places
leaving the Office vacant occasionally
This was a crime in Reed but patriotic
in Neff. There are even holes in the
asphalt pavement between the tracks
and rails Of the Metropolitan Street

Race Suicide

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the
busiest Of men as we'll as one OF the
most fearless. But when he thinks
that any amount Of conversation, pub
lic or private, concerning ace suicide
Is going to effect the question, he is in
the position Of the gentleman who in
vited the Alps to join him ia an
avalanche.
Nature, upon The whole, has shown
more wisdom than nan in taking care
Of her own affairs. l. has been shown
beyond all reasonable doubt that ma
ture has not much regsrd for the
individual, but every possible regard
for the race.
Here and there the individual can be
found who influences one person or
another in his private relations, but no
one has ever been able to persuade
oature to change her methods.
Now this business OF keeping races
from dying out is one which the mother
Of US all has taken into her especial
care. She has, SO TO speak, given ii
her particular attention. For racial
preservation she implantS in man no!
only the strongest Of passions, that Of
love, but she persuades bin to surround
II with sill tue romance, the poetry
and the beauty In life.
All art, considered in not the least Of
its bearings, is dedicated to the propo-
sition that the family is the essential
thing in the world, and literature is
merely one Of many arts so dedicated
But since she is also concerned with
preserving that portion of the race
which is best worth preserving, she
has fixed upon human charity as the
one human virtue worthy of preserva-
ton, and upon humaH greed as the
one human NC worthy Of punishment
even 10 the point of annlhilation.-

 The proposed rules of the league will prohibit any player or players entering a game with any team except the one for which they were originally signed without of course the written consent of their manager; no league team will b, allowed to play an outside team, with out permission from the executive off cer: any player caught throwing game or in any manner dealing unfairly with his team. shall be brought to trial be- fore a committee and proper punishment meted out; each team shall deposit for felt and any infraction of the rules will mean a trial and fine If the offense necessitates.

 The 'Blachs" team is again in the field and much stronger than last year. Spring practice will begin about March 15 and the boys all feel sure of win ming the pennant to be offered in the City League. Tre present lineup of the team is not known, but the following is a list of players who have been sign- ed for the season: Pitchers Byrum, Wise and Argue; catchers B.

The Coal Barons report tomorrow.
 One by one they will be dropping in as the leaves from the trees in the fall
 The first are already here. The rest will all be here by the middle or the last of this week. Harry Vaughan, the big first baseman and manager has ordered more than a score of men to report in Bir- mingham on March B. and from that bunch he hopes to get a first division team.
 Still the big boy is working. He has out his feelers in all directions and he is adding to the lineup strengthening the team where it Is possible.
 He does not need pitchers, still he is after a good man or two who will strengthen the slab division of the Barons. He has just picked up Dusty Miller for the outfeld, and another deal is pending
