BAREBACK RIDING FEATURE.

Glowing accounts of the sensational
bareback riding features with the
Norris & Rowe circus have preceded
that shows coming visit to this section.
Before last seasons tour had come
to & close, Norris & Rowe had deter
mined upon the riders they would Sc
cure for the present tour if offers OF
high salaries could tempt the expert
bare back riders to sign contracts. so
it was with uncOncealed satisfaction
that the young showmen received
signed contracts from riders whose
names are famous in the realm Of the
white tents. George Holland and Rose
Dockrll are duo Of the most accom-
plished bareback experts whose as
founding feats have been heartily ap-
plauded by European as well as
American audiences. Holland is
somersault rider and Miss DOckrill is
one of the daintiest and graceful eques-
trienneS. Another charming figure on
the bare back of a swiftly running
horse is dainty Edna Marietta who has
no equal as a somersault rider; Frank
Miller performs what is called 4 hur-
ricane hurdle and jOcky act. Upon
purely bred, fiery Arabian stallion,
Miller stands upright, dashing at the
highest speed and leaping high hurdles
and over obstacles until the wonder of
it all is that he can maintain his per-
ilous and difficult position. Edward V.
Hocum is another rider who accom-
plishes the hazardous somersault on
the bareback of a galloping horse. Dol
ly Miller does high school manage
act; John Carroll has the most highly
educated equine in the world in his
horse "Rinaldo. The latter goes
through his act without rein, bride or
trappings of any kind and without
word of command. Herbert Rumley
is the famous rough rider. and George
Settler has a novel act with his six
pure white Shetland ponies. The
twentieth jubilee souvenir tour of the
Norris & Rowe show will surely be one
long 70 he remembered. The shows viii

THE FRUIT LOSS.

While it is probable the first reports
yesterday were somewhat exaggerated.
there is little doubt of the damage to
the fruit crops and vegetable beds be-
ing widespread and. in some sections,
complete. Many growers have made
personal reports to The Statesman to
the effect their entire crops are ruined
for this year. In some instances even
the trees have been killed.
In other instances. reports are made
that no damage has been done and that
the injury develops only in streaks
throughout the valley. Just what can
account for the passage. of one orchard
by the frost blight and it's effect upon
an adjoining orchard has not been fig
ured out by the experts to satisfac-
tory explanation. Some of the growers
declare the use of water has had 20 do
with the preservation or damage of
the fruit and this is the generally ac-
copied version.

SHORTAGE OF CARS.

Two high officials Of the Pennsyl-
lvania road complain of the continued
and persistent piracy Of freight cars
They say that IT'S cars have been al
lowed to go Unfortunately to other
roads. which instead of returning them
promptly use them in their local
business. AS the penalty is only Is
cents a day and as the earning power
Of a car is SO a day, one can under
stand why a railroad which has not
enough cars of IT'S own should be sio"
to return those belonging to another
road which it can keep for 25 cents
|day.
Railways are not the only or the
great car pirates. The secret OF the
constantly increasing shortage OF
freight cars is that they are not used
as they formerly were, solely for pur-
poses of transportation, but largely as
warehouses. The demurrage charge is
so low that the shipper can better al
ford often to keep his merchandise in
a freight car until he is ready to make
a final disposition Of it than in a ware
house. That saves him expense in the
matter Of loading and unloading. and
a smaller investment for storage pur-
poses.
This policy of the shippers applies
especially to coarse freight. There is
hardly a siding in the smallest VIII
lage in this country where there are
not a number of freight cars standing
loaded or partly loaded with coarse
freight-coal. lumber, brick, etc.-which
is left there until it happens to suit the
convenience of the shipper to take it
away. Formerly shippers removed
goods promptly to their own ware
houses or yards and drew therefrom
what they needed for their own use or
to supply their customers. That is not
their present practice, for they have
discovered the economy Of using freight
cars as warehouses and removing the
contents only when needed for imme-
date use. This Is true of the whole
country. 1t applies to cars loaded with
grain. COAL lumber, and in some in
stances with merchandise. It is true
Of the manufacturer and Of the mer-
chant.
The responsibility for the general
shortage OF cars does not lie entirely
with the railroads. 1t lies largely with
the shippers and manufacturers, who
in spite of constant complaint and eX-
hortaton cannot be induced to unload
or load cars so promptly as they once
did. If ali the car shops in the country
We're run ut the full capacity they
could not turn out ears enough 10 end
the shortage so long as cars are used
to store freight instead Of to move it.

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS"

The president has given rather a
clever tn quoque to the frenzied advo-
Gates of Meyer and Haywood. He di-
reefs attention to the fact that they
have prejudged the case much more
decidedly than any other number of
citizens. The innocence of Mover and
Haywood was proclaimed by their
partisars almost the instant that they
were arrested. The fact that a judi
cial conspiracy had been conceived
against them was announced. 1t was
said they had been 'raillOaded' t.
prison and were not to haze a fair
trial. Their advocates have produced
no evidence of the truth of any Of
these assertions. Meyer and Haywood
will have as fair trial as any other
citizens situated as they are. Nobody
wishes to have them punished if they
are not guilty. and there is no likeil.
hood that they will be. If they are
guilty every good citizen ought to
wish they should be punished TO tn.
extent of the law. The crime Of which
they are accused, but not proved
guilty, was an abominable one. 1t
was a cold blooded assassination. com.

said to have prompted 1t took place.
Whether Haywood and Meyer are
desirable citizens or not is matter
of opinion. President Roosevelt thinks
they are not. There are some person
who agree with him. in spite of the
storm of abuse that may be heaped on
them by socialist and other newspapers.
There is some reason to think they are
undesirable citizens. As president ana
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners they We're associated with
an organization that was not too nice
| in its methods. It is known that force
| was resorted To by that association in
many cases; that it was engaged u
boycotting and driving off men f.
whom there was employment and who
had a perfect right to work. 1t die
not confine itself to methods of mora
suasion, but resOcted to threats Of
bodily violence whenever it pleased.
| Meyer and Haywood are associated
in the public mind with men like Debs
and Shea. Whether Debs and Shea
are desirable citizens" or not the pub
lie may be able to judge for itself.
Generally speaking. we do not be-
! lieVe that anybody who advocates
revolution" in the United States is ?
desirable citizen. or that anybody WHO
| resorts to assault or assassination in
| labor disputes is that kind OF citizen.
In this country men have a right to
work. Murder is not a fair weapon
recognized in civilized communities.

methods of free expression.

SCHOOL TEACHERS IN
FIGHT OVER POLITICS

CHICAGO, April 3O.--Miss Mary F.
Lynch, head assistant at the Chase
school, who exposed the campaign
methods used by union teachers in the
public schools, was cited for trial be-
fore the school management commit
tee Of the board of education.
The charges against Miss Lynch
were preferred by Miss A. Esther
Butts. principal of the Chase scnou,.
who was accused by Miss Lynch Of
having circulated editorial attacks
against Mayor Russe among the
teachers of her school.
From being an intimate friend OF
Margaret Haley and Miss Goggin
Miss Butts said in her letter to the
committee, Miss Lynch became their
most bitter enemy
Just what bearing this charge has
upon the case, since neither Miss Ha'
ley nor Miss Goggin has any official
connection with the school system
was not pointed out by the board
members.
Miss Butts. in her letter. made nc
attempt to reply to the charge made
by Miss Lynch that she campaigned
in the school. Instead she made the
following charges:
That Miss Lynch destroyed hor-
mony in the school by a deliberate
act. which seems to me traitorous.
Miss Lynch talked too much 9:
teachers meetings.
She gOssiped with the other teache'
in the school.
She is an enemy of Margaret Ha-
ley and Catherine Goggin.
The hearing of the charges was de-
ferrcd by the committee until mex
Monday. The committee showed n,
disposition to take up the charge.
against Miss Butts, which, of course
are the real point at issue.
