Since the Audubon County BARRIERS Joined the Union
Anita 1---Exira 3

Last Friday the Anita baseball
aggregation arrived in Extra and
after warming up, proceeded to
dispose of Exira's best. Without
question this game was the clean
est, fastest and best that has been
played on the green diamond this
season. 1t was certainly worth the
money to see this game. Extra
played with but two errors to
Anita's FIVE.
The great Floyd of Anita Tribune
fame failed to chow up his wonder
full pitching ability as on stated
former occasions. Although he
pitched a good game, Extra se-
cured seven hits off his delivery in
their eight innings at bat.
Reese allowed but two hits dur
ing Anita's nine innings at bat and
struck out eight men to Floyd's
two. Sturgeon played the game on
third as of old. Anita's short stop
proved himself star player and
robbed Extra of two hits in near
left garden. No scores were re-
corded until the sixth when Extra
took one, Anita tying the score in
the seventh; but in the eighth
Extra took two and did not allow
Anita to score again.
A number of fans from Anita
witnessed the game and also a
mum Der from Audubon.

Big Day at Walnut

Sunday was day of great fes.
tivity at Walnut when over two
hundred nthusiastic fans from
Extra accompanied their team to
that town and witnessed one of the
best baseball games that has been
played in Walnut this season. The
game resulted in victory for
Walnut by the score of ten to three
but in spite of this fact the Extra
bunch was feeling as jolly as
possible, when they passed through
here last evening on the special
tram enroute to their home town.
The train was composed of two
coaches and commodation
baggage and smoker and every
seat was filled with people from
Audubon, Extra and Lorah." "
The game was all the Democrat
says it was-but that little score
10 to 8 was IN FAVOR OF EXTRA and
not Walnut as that reporter has it.
Give the devil his due, or perhaps
it was an error in setting it up, let
us hope.

Now, my people, let me appeal to
you to arouse and be earnest. As |
have told you this is a peculiar
and rapidly advancing age. You are
largely the laboring class, upon COM
mon labor the success or failure, the
rise or fall OF the masses OF this race
III the future entirely depends, and
the time will come, yea, it is almost
at hand, when it will be a serious
question ii this opportunity to labor
is given to your hands at all The |
Bureau of Labor and Print = in |
North Carolina, reports that negro
labor III 96 counties in our state is
unreliable and worthless Now we |
cannot afford to have this said of |
our people. The hordes OF Europe !
who were once sold in the market |
places of England like sheep in the |
shambles are to come to this country |
to take your places, on the farms, in |
the shops, in the mines, in trIsty po- |
sitions in private families, and on |
the public works: in other words, in !
all the avocations of life. Let us
grid up our loins, therefore, and do |
better work and more work than |
any other class, with an honest de- |
sire TO benefit our employer as well |
as ourselves. Then we shall make |
friends and hold our own in the ranks |
OF the millions who are progressing |
and advancing with the sweeping |
current OF a glorious prosperity.
In order to succeed and hold our |
own in the ranks of men, we must not |
be slow in speaking out and giving |
credit to those who have the cour-
age and friendship to speak out for |
us: the race cannot do too much hon.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

In NJ. o. the Latter Generally Exposes
the FaIsity of the Former.
The theory of municipal ownership
is that municipal corporations can do
for the public at cost the service now
done by private corporations at a
profit, saving to the public the amount
Of the profit in reduced charges.
In the common practice of municipal
ownership the city does for the public
at increased expense, but for lower
price. what private corporations have
been doing for a profit Usually not
only the profit is absorbed in the in
creased expense but a continual an
nual deficiency is covered up by in
crease Of the municipal debt and fail
ure to provide out of earnings for de-
probation OF plant.
By the time the plant first installed
is worn out the city. unless very rich
and strong is apt to be at the end of
its credit In many cases, like that OF
the Philadelphia gas works. i private
corporation gets the city plant for n
song and makes money out Of 1t faster
than ever The fundamental idea of
Ii, therefore. is to take the money Of
taxpayers to render Service to non
taxpayers for less than the service

II you authorize an agent to pur-
chase piece of property for you at
$1,000 and he finds that it will cost
$4,000 and goes alb 2ad and buys it
without consulting you on the ground
that you had said that you wanted the
property, your words would Droba bly,
not look we'll in print. This is prac-
tically what has just been done In Mil
waukee, the first party being the tax
payers Of that city and their agent be-
ing the city council Some time ago
the people of Milwaukee voted to au-
thoriZe bond issue of 100000 to in
stall a municipal lighting plant.
The city fathers found that the esti-
mate was $4,000 too low and passed
resolution to issue bonds to the ex-
tent of 81, 100000 The city comptrol-
Ter at first refused to sign the neces-
sary papers on the ground that in view
of the great difference in cost the mat
Ter should be again submitted to the
people. This point was, however,
overruled by the city attorney. If his
opinion is good law, the law is bad,
for 1t permits the agents OF the people
TO abuse their powers with impunity.
