MINOR LEAGUES PLAcATED
Ban johnson Agrees to Renew His
Offer. n


A special from Chicago says that there is
still a chance the minor leagues will be
granted concessions In their demands for
more money for drafted players After
Howard Grifflths. representing the minors
In conference with President johnson, at
New York, turned down the American
League chiefs proposition to raise the
price of drafted players from $3.50 to 81 900.
Grihths steadfastly holding out for $500.
1T was supposed that the minors would re-
sign themselves to the fate of disposing of
their players at the old prices
But President Powers of the National
Association Of Minor League Clubs asked
President Johnson to renew his offer direct
ly to the association, as Griffiths had acted
without authority in rejecting the PROPOSE
ton, and the president added that as some
of the board of directors favored the
Johnson scheme the probabilities were that
the minor association would vote to accept
the plan. Accordingly, Mr.. Johnson in a
letter to President Powers gave the minors
another chance to get into line, and renew
ed his offer, which has the sanction of the
National League.

MIR. ROOSEVEITS ATLANTA
SPEECH.

In his Atlanta speech yesterday Mr..
R~oosevelt's chief theme was the great
corporations and the need of their
regulation by the federal government
in the interest of the public. He de.
clared his view to be that as the corpo-
ration was the creature of the state it
should always be held accountable to
some sovereign, and that this account
ability should be real and moi a sham
For this reason. he said, all corpora
lions doing an interstate business
should be held accountable to the fed
eral government but there should be
no striving to prevent or limit corpo.
rate activity. Give the corporations
opportunity to develop the
of the country. treat them fairly ard
justly; but hold them, in the scope
of their work. within certain bounds
which when overstepped permit tramp
ling on the rights and interests of the
people, is the substance of his declara-
ton on this subject.
He, ~inspeaking of the south's great
staple crop, WELCOMED the action of the
planters in forming a cotton associa-
tion," and pledged them every assis-
lance which can be given by the fed
eral government. In speaking of Our
foreign trade in cotton goods he re-
ferred to the boycott in China and
said China must beware of persist
ing in a course of conduct to which
we cannot honorably submit" Nor
is he willing to settle the question by
admission of Chinese coolies to COM
pete with home labor.

RUSSIA'S PAST AND FUTURE.

The announcement is made that the
car has authorized the admission Of
Jews to the Russian universities. To
II unfamiliar with the conditions Of
that dOwn-trodden class of Russians
this announcement seems peculiar
scarcely to be understood by people
uSed~to free American Institutions. 1t
seems almost Jast belief that in this
era Of educati NAL progress in the Unit
ed States there should he any country
civilized enough to have universities
where an imperial command was nee
essary in order to permit a large class
of the citizens to secure the advantages
OF those institutions Of learning.
The fact though that the car has
seen fit at this late day to open the
doors Of RuSsia's universities to this
large and important class of her peo-
pie shows hat light is dawning over
Russia as we'll as over the Dark Con-
tinent. 1t is an indication of better
times to come for the heretofore OBJ
pressed Hebrews of Russia; that the
government has at last recognized the
fact that in making good citizens edu-
cation is n better instrument than en-.
forced ignorance and oppression.
The recent uprising in Russia and
the result of the Japanese war are
likely to mark the turning point in
the political and social conditions of
that country. These events have OPEN
the eyes of the Russians to the feeling
of the balance of the world toward
them. They begin to feel the lack OF
sympathy and regard of other peoples.
They begin to understand in what light
they are held. and their defeat by the
Japanese shows them that they are not
strong enough to stand aloof from and
defy the balance of the world. 4
man cannot live in a community and
defy all the usages and customs Of
that community, and the same law ap-
plies to nations. Russia must sink
back into baf'bariSm or take her place
ia the onward march of nations,
though it be far back in the rear ranks.
She must make an effort toward ad-
vencement. This ukase in regard to
the Jews is one of her first steps. She
has begun the march which alone can
save her civilization.

A BATTLE Y
Between Revenue Officers and Blind
Tiger Operator.

Mr.. John B.. Crouch returned yes:er-
day from Wilkesboro. Talking with
a reporter in Winston he reported that
a battle royal took place a few days
ago between revenue officers and the
owner of a blind tiger. The officers
were advised that a man named Dave
Handy had been selling blockada
whiskey at his place for some time.
When they went to make a raid Han
dy resisted arrest and opened fire ON
the revenuers, forcing them to leave.
The officers returned, however, at day
light next morning and broke open the
door to Handy's place. Several shots
were again exchanged and the "blind
tiger" man was captured. Investiga-
ton showed that an ugly wound on
the side of his head, had been infic.-
ed by a ball from a Winchester

The Wessenger,
BY WHAT

What authority has the president
for prohibiting, by proclamation OF In
any other way, the expectation OF arms,
ammunition and other munitions OF
war from the United States 10 oanLo
Domingo or to any other country
We we're of opinion that 1t was de-
cided by the federal authorities during
the war between Spain and Cuba eha.
arms and other munitions of war were
legitimate articles Of trade, to be sold
by citizens of a neutral nation to peo-
pie Of one county at war with anoth-
er: that the laws of the United States
forbade only the raising of a military
force or the equipment of a warship
TO aid a nation at war with another
which was on friendly terms with our
country.
It Is true that all the expeditions
for carrying arms and ammunition TO
the Cubans were carried on secretly
and when federal officials caught ONT
an expedition about to set out they
made a show of arresting the par
ties, but when the point was tested the
law was declared to be as above stat
ed. The federal government took the
course it did in regard to these So
called fIibustering expeditions in Or
der to be ON the safe side and to pre-
vent any violation of it's statutes aad
Of International law by it's citizens in

All such expeditions were carried CD
secretly for two reasons. First, II
prevented delay through OBTAINING The

raising troops or fitting out a war,
