ball in the central garden. when he made
his homer Ballenger flied out. Pomeroy
hit. Smith showed NJ. Clark how to take
a joke when he hit; Stecher drew four bad
ones, Kohler famed; Sheckles also was
lucky on balls, which forced Pomeroy home.

BIOOMINGDALE WON.
Defeat of the Strong Brunswick
Team

The Bloomingdale Athletic Club defeated
the strong Brunswicks yesterday morning
in an exciting and closely contested game
score, . to s.
They won by punching their hits and taxi
ing advantage of Pitcher Smiths wildness.
Morley well supported, but several
slip-ups in fielding gave the visitors several
runs they should not have had. They
tapped his delivery for five doubles and
single while Smith touched up for nine
singles and a double. The fine fielding OF
White, Busey, Stewart and Buckley did
much to curt down the score, while the rest
of the team played well together. The
Brunswicks were picked by many the
champions of the District this year, as they
won seventeen straight games before they
struck the Bloomingdales. The same teams
will cross bats in the near future, and good
contests are promised.

What contrast between the Birming-

marked we'll known military man yester-
day. Think of the conditions The
Huntsville company was called out to

ing for a rapist is more determined ana
more blood-thirsty than a NAB looking for
a MURDER, and they are justified in their
determination and biood-thirstiness In
comparison 10 the crimes.
But the Huntsville company disgraced
the uniform they were by allowing mob
composed mostly of factory people, to
take negro from their very hands. What
did the Birmingham boys do? They let

Primary Elections in Louisiana.

Louisiana has tried the primary
plan, and she was so well pleased with
its operation and effects that joint
committee of the legislature was APP
pointed to frame a primary bill to be
submitted to the legislature at its next
session. That committee is sitting in
New Orleans.
Louisiana mas been a ring-ruled
state, almost rivalling in that unwholc-
some respect New York or Pennsyl.
vania, and the primary is the first real
hope, the first streak of daylight, that
the people have experienced.
primary league has been organ
lied in Louisiana, and it is urging the
joint committee of the legilature 10
bring in a bill embracing these fea.
lures:
1. No factional control of the pli-
mary, but equal representation of all
the candidates.
2. Absolute secrecy of the ballot.
8. Compulsory primaries, requiring
that all nominations shall be made by
primary.
A. The time of the election to be
fixed in the law so as to render snap
primaries impossible
5. 1ne expense to be as moderate
as possible so as not to make it too
onerous on TIE candidates; and the
state to share part of the expense in
view of the fact that a primary nomi-
nation in Louisiana, as in Mississippi,
is equivalent to an election.
6. Candidates for all offices, stata,
parochial and municipal, to be nomi-
mated by primary.
If Louisiana secure a primary law
Lrawn ON the ines mentioned, it will
have perhaps the best primary law
in existence, provided 1t authorizes
nominations by the highest number of
votes. The plurality rule avoids re-
peated primary elections, which are
ever tiresome and unsatisfactory.
Alabama's primary law is deficient.
1t is not a compulsory law, and the
ballot is not secret. 1t should be
changed, and the legislature of 1907
should at any rate give the voters of
Alabama the benefit of a secret, and
therefore a free, ballot. The last leg
islature was induced to vote down
secret banot. The vote of every man
in this state is now subject to subse-
quent inspection. This is not free
ballot, and not few will not pay poll
taxes because they are not permitted
the privilege Ct secret and free bal.
