The republican leaders of Mas

Gtion of the tariff duty on peanuts.
Thus is the great protective sys-

tics in its very cradle. "Give us
free peanuts, and tax all else as
the trusts may dcsire!' say the
republicans. As to clothing, sew
ing machines, watches, steel rails,

of the season proper the Methodist con-

BY the end of the month the various
teams will be thoroughly organized,
the different colleges and schools Will
have had ample opportunity to select
representatives to the official league

direct the efforts of the beginners In
the elementary stunts, such as passing
the ball, Shooting the baskets and
throwing baskets from the foul line.
Miss Asher is one of the hardest
workers on the squad and is well
fitted to assist in developing the second

being generally accorded the honor Of
being the best guard ever produced by
the private school in the realm OF

In the last. few practice games OF

probability give the speedy player
