Arrangements have been made by
Manager Herman Crow of the local
worth team for the playing of a
doubIe-header= at Leavenworth next
Sunday afternoon. This arrangement
was made because of the fact that the
Topeka team does not have a home
Sunday date with the Convicts for the
rest of the season and it was thought
to be better to have a double-header
in Leavenworth on Sunday than to
have one during the week in Topeka.
A large crowd of Topeka excursionists
will be in LeavenWorth on that date
as the Santa Fe has arranged for a
large excursion train which will go
over the L. & T. branch.
Here is what Mr.. Jason Andrews, NJ.
d., has to say of the local team: I'm
my opinion I think that Topeka has
one Of the strongest teams in the
league. The Champs Outfield is fully
as good as that of Wichita while I
think that Henry is the best catcher
in the league and the Topeka infield
is far ahead of any other. AS to the
pitching staff, Topeka has a good
bunch of twirlers, but they do not
seem to have struck their gait yet. To-
peka will finish one, two. three all
right

worth with the team this morning and

The Oklahoma City Tfmes-Journal
thinks there should be some shifting
done on the Nets team and offers the
following suggestions to Manager
messed a few games played by the
Oklahoma City team and while this in
no sense is given for knock, it is
done for the good of the management.
The support of Bemis yesterday was
of the school boy character. If
Oklahoma City expects to compete
with the top notchers there must be
some changes The material is there
ers. Billy White will occupy the
shortstop station and it is said that
Starkey will be shifted to second. It
would be wise move on the part of
the. MANAGEMENT to shift either
Starkey or Wiser to the right garden
and bring Roaring Bill Rapps to the
infield- He has the ginger and can
use it to advantage on the second
and the fans want to see Manager Nc
Farland do this shifting act if he
cares to land the pennant in Okla
homa City. Seigle caught one game
walton leads the writer to believe that
Seigle can catch as good, can throw
bases better and can run faster than
Partridge. Gibson has pitched one
game after which he informed Nc
Farland that he was good He did
not work yesterday, although it was
his turn. He has drawn SIS for one
game pretty expensive proposition.
The weather yesterday was not too
cold for him to work and it would be
wise for each man to take his turn
The fans desire to see who can de-
liver the goods. Oklahoma City must
have the pennant this year The team
Is strong enough to win if the man
agement is capable of bringing
enough pressure to bear on McFar-
land and shift the players to their
proper places.

seTtptions cailceiied-
 Now. from some cause. to IS unknown, the aforesaid l NJ. Parker, instead of commencing work on the road between Pine Bluff and Monticello has com menced between Monroe, La, and Hamburg. Arkansas, and we hear it intimated that he will not run the road through Mon ticello at all. or. at least, leaves that an open question as to whether he will or will not. If our people would only exercise little patience and not be in too great hurry to have their contract with MT Parker can celled, we are rather inclined to the opinion that he would be forced to come through the town with his road, if built at all, or suffer heavy damages for failure to do so In fact we do not believe that Mir. Parker would have any disposition to avoid our town with his road, if our people would only hold themselves in readiness to com ply with their agreement with him; and if they do go ahead and succeed in having their con- tract cancelled by the Chancery Court, then no sensible man could blame Mir. Parker If he chose another route for his road. It is generally understood that 1t will cost, perhaps, S40, 900 more to build railroad through the hills here, than it would cost to carry it through the level country, either a few miles east or west of our town. Ofcourse, this difference in the cost of con struction would be more than overcome i'll q single year by the increased freight and passenger traffic that the road would re- ceive from Mon tieello, and which it would not get if 1t failed to come through the town, but this would be matter that would alone appeal to the des- cretion of the road builders. Monticello wants and needs this north and south road. and we cannot but think 1t was eX- tremelv unfortunate for the town that a few of the Subscrib- CTS to the railroad project has seen fit to disturb the amicable relations that had hitherto ex- isted between the town and the road promoters. Of course, Il this subscription contract IS cancelled, the road will also be relieved of it's oblie eation to build through the town.

STATE RIGHT AND POWERS.

It is increasingly apparent that the question whether the' e'states are, or are not, to retain the rights and power reserved to them in the Con- stitution is to be foremost issue next year.
 The encroachments by the Re publican party on these rights make the issue unavoidable. And as the tardiest of this years legis- latures are adjourning, it is timely to take mental measure of the difference between what the count ry is and what it would be if the laws governing thess daily life of the people, made by these legislatures, were absorbed into the jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
 Measures regulating the liquor traffic, State and local taxation, the protection of games, support of schools, colleges and universi- ties and of eleemosynary institu- tions, laws regulating marriage and divorce. inheritance and con- veyance of property, with elections and thousand others have been dealt with by these legislatures each is ways deemed best for the State for which it has made the laws.
 These legislatures have made laws providing for roads building, laws defining the relations of the State to the corporations and to the within it, laws rela. ting U public and paivate wrong and for the regulation of local police.
 The tendency of the Rep. party at the present time is ID the direc- ton of denying to the states the right to govern themselves in their own way if that way happens not to suit the views or the convenience of the dominant party in Washing ton.
 In nearly every utterance Presi- dent Roosevelt indicates desire to meddle in all State affairs that are not conducted as he thinks they ought to be. Federal political assume to dictate and control the action of State political conventions. Step by step Repub- lican aggress'ons upon the rights and powers of the States are grow ing into precedents to justify still further usurpatlons.
 The Democratic party has its history been the de- fender of the rights of the States. It must next year reafiirm its championship of them as funda- ] amental part of its existence-Re- public l

About two years ago Mir. J M. Parker, the promoter of a railroad to run from Pine Bluff through Monticello, Hamburg and to Monroe. La, and the cit izens of Monticello and of Drew county. entered into contract for $37, 500 and lot of land to
