Nashville and Birmingham resume their fiendish grapple for the honor of not win ming the cellar championship. It begins to look now as if one of these two clubs will be in full. undisputed possession ot tue tail-end prize, for Montgomery is go ing better than either and Shreveport Is cast for a long home stay which will carry her up out of reach for some time to come. The struggle for the cellar championship is almost as spectacular az the race for the real thing and probably won't be decided until the last few days of the race.
 Nashville, of course, has a chance left to beat out Montgomery, Birmingham and Shreveport and thus head the second division, but this doesn't look like a very good bet With Schopp on deck and Yerkes ready to resume next week the outlook may assume a brighte- hue. Sor- roll also should pitch better ball, as he is always more effective on the road than he is at home.-Nashville Tennessean.

o o FOR DIFFERENCE.

There is an earnest desire on the
part OF the Cheyenne Leader n other
democratic papers of Wyoming to dis
credit the Wyoming delegation In con-
gress and more particularly Senator
Warren because Of an apparent differ.
ence over range matters. The people
of Wyoming will give no ear to such
absurdities. Members OF congress
have Just as much right to di1er as
the people who remain at home. Even
the effort to charge Senator Warren
with disloyalty to the sheep interests
is ridiculous, for the reason that there
is a wide difference of opinion among
fockmasters upon the question. For
illustration, the Albany county asso-
citation, by unanimous vote, declared
in favor of leasing, and 1t Is stated by
many sheepmen that they have never
peer given a fair chance to vote upon
the proposition in their state conven-
lions. A half dozen men with good
lungs and a desire to be heard have
made n louder noise in opposition to
leasing than those who favored 1t, but
there has never been anything like an
aye and nay vote taken. 1t has always
been carried with n whoop, 1t was a
well.known fact that President Wilson
favored leasing at the time of the Cas-
per convention and that he had a great
deal of support, but the noise of the
convention was in opposition.
Again, the cattlemen appear to be
almost solid In favor of a reasonable
leasing measure. At the national meet
ing the vote was unanimous, and at
the recent dollar dinner at Wheatland
there was not n dissenting voice, al
though the meeting was n mixed one,
representing all classes in society.
Senator Clark and Congressman
Mondell have made n splendid fight
fer their side of the question and have
won for the time being. They have
just as much right to their opinions as
have the people who are in opposition.
A representative of the people must
take a stand and abide the result. Ii
his constituents do not like his posi-
ton upon leading questions, they have
their remedy.
So far as the Leader is concerned,
and this is also true of the other demo
cratic papers, its only interest in he
matter is to promote discord. 1t sits
back and laughs at republican disagree
ments, hoping that it may profit by the
division in the ranks of the opposition.
But 1t need not latter itself. Repub-
licans are in the habit of settling prob.
lens within their own ranks without
calling upon the democrats for help
Republican leaders and the republican
rank and file understand perfectly that
praise or condemnation from demo-
cratic sources come only for Il purpose
particular advantage. The republi-
can statesman who courts the plaudits
of the enemies OF mis- party is %treading
on dangerous ground.
No harm can come from a fair and
thorough discussion of all matters per.
tanning to the public lands Of the
United States and no man should be
condemned for following the dictates
of his honest convictions.
