Portland Was Not Even Interested.

(BridgtOn NeWS.)
Inc dear Portland Express insists
that Portland is not a factor in the
State capitol removal controversy; it is
a question of eXpedency for the State
as a whole. To be sure. We were
mislcd by the mere coincidence that il
was Portland that packed the commit.

several million baseball cranks. Many
an otherwise serious minded citizen
doubtless experiences thrill of
expectation as he reads the news from
the southern training camps and of the
plans of the managers. Commercialized
though the game has been, il maintains
its hold. 1t is now a great industry.
BESIDES the two big leagues, there arc
said to be 50 minor leagues in the
country composed OF 219 clubs. The
number of semiprofessional leagues
and Of amateur clubs and leagues is
beyond count. 1t is said that in tha
larger leagues alone the salaries
amount TO some S2.5OO00O a year. and
that last year the games of the Nation

Of over 6.op0.NO0 spectators. 1t is in

John Brown and Kansas.

Every state legislature has to have
something out of tie routine in the line
of diversion and in Kansas this winter
it has been the discussion of a PROPOSE
ton to appropriate $4,000 for the cree
ton of a statue of John Brown in the
national Capitol at Washington. IE
that structure there is a statuary hall
in Which each state of the nation IS
entitled to place two statues of favor
tie sons. One niche allotted to Kansas
is occupied by the statue Of Senator
John j. ingalls, and the proposition to
place the statue of John Brown of
Csawatomie in the other has precipi-
tated a discussion which has made
things lively in the Kansas legislature
and in the newspapers Of the State.
One side is contending that JOHN
Brown, the abolitionist and stenuous
pioneer was the incarnation OF the
historic old days in Kansas when that
state was won for freedom. The other
side points out that Brown was not q
native Of Kansas, that he lived there
only two or three years and died in
another state They insist that he was
a crazy Old crank anyway and that it
would be a disgrace to Kansas to place
him in statuary hall amid the distin-
suished company of Americans to be
found there. The Brown faction rush
cd the bill through one branch of the
legislature but it struck snag in the
other and not even the singing of John
Browns Body Lies Wondering in the
Grave" could win it enough votes to
give it passage.
John Brown is one OF the great char
acters OF American history about
whom different opinions are likely to
exist for some time to come, and it is
not safe to venture a prediction as 20
a'hat his place in our annals will finally
be. a native of Connecticut, he spent
most of his life in Ohio, was in Kan
sas q few years when that state was
bleeding Kansas. then engaged in that
famous raid in Virginia which cost him
his life on the gallows as a traitor and
cow for nearly half a century, while
his body has been Wondering in Il
lonely grave in the Adirondacks. his
sou! has been marching on in song and
story. Though he was hanged for
treason, probably more OF the Ameri-
can people have come to look upon him
as a patriot. 1t is a minority which
is recalling him as an outlaw and cut
| throat. Fate made him a tremendous
force in the events which led up to thai
| awful conflict between the states which
| resulted in the freedom of the slaves
No doubt the circumstances of his
| death were factor in bringing on tbs
war between the states. The abolition
spirit Of the North was aroused This
section hailed John Brown as martyr
and an inspired prophet, and the grea
