Portland is having hard time locat-
ing its new city hall. On one side are
those who, looking to the future, desire
to take advantage of the opportunity to
create a new civic center in the city,
surrounded by beautiful and impressive
public buildings, for which future
generations will rise up and call the men
OF this day blessed. On the other side
are those who look to both present and
future from the financial standpoint,
considering the needs and abilities of
the present generation, or for sentiment
or other reasons prefer the city hall on
the old site. That there is much to be
said on either side is unquestionable,
but there Is one feature of the situation
which ought to be decisive. A town
meeting was held, under the city charter,
and the vote was almost unanimous in
favor of building on the old site and the
old front. Whether that is right or
wrong, in your view or mine, the vote
ought to settle the matter. Our local
government in New England is still
democratic in form, and ought to be so
in reality as 1t generally is.

Our friend the Bethel News Rumford
Citizen prints list of "convictions of
Rumford Falls parties at the recent term
of court" which 1t alleges is printed for
the first time in any paper, saying that
all previous lists have been incomplete.
While the matter is hardly worth the
space it takes, all the cases mentioned in
the News-Citizen list were fully report
ed in the Democrat, with the single ex-
ception of one case in which there was
no conviction, and indeed no action, the
case simply having been continued to the
next term on account of the illness of
the respondent. Further, if the News
Citizen will examine the files of the
Democrat, it will find there not only
three cases in which state prison sem
fences were imposed upon Rumford Falls
parties, which are not mentioned In it's
list, but also at least one case in which a
man is now serving a term in Jail on
liquor indictments found at the last term
of court, as well as two or three other
cases in which plea of guilty was enter
ed and the case was continued on good
behavior, none of which appear in its
complete list"

WEE WILLIE SUDHOFF
DROPS BASE BALL

ST LOUIS. Mo. May Wee Willie
Sudhoff who of recent years has been
banded about the base ball world until
he is sick and tired of the game, is back
in ST. Louis. instead of with the Wash
ington club, to which place he was sup
posed to have gone following his good
showing for Louisville. Sudhom not only
is not with the Washington club. but
after telegraphing to find out where he
stood Wee Willie has not even received
a reply.
1t is believed that Washington will do
nothing with Sudhoff until the national
commission passes upon case of Sud
noff's now before it.
Sudhoff was fined 500 for failing to
report to the Kansas City club, follow
ing his retirement from the big league
This fine has never been paid. When
Sudhoff signed with Louisville without
having been released from his fine, at
tention was brought to the commission
which is supposed 10 have the matter
under advisement as to SudhoHs future.
Wee Willie started out in good form
this wear and his first game for Louis
vile gave promise that he would twirl
at major league speed.

The Browns have been showing great

1t is surprising how much base ball some

few of them set TO work To Systematically
study the game and its possibilities from

any manager ever saw. At bat or in the

There is great deal OF discussion re-
gardng the decision of SILK . loushiln
in the game between Detroit and chi
caso played in Detroit last Wednesday,
some claiming that O'Loughlin $ ruling
makes the squeeze play impossible
This is erroneous. and O'Louehlin
ruling was quite correct.
According to the description OF the
play given by the Detroit papers. it
appears that Dougherty was on third
base and George Davis at bat Siever
was standing on the rubber ready 10

for he had made any motion TO DO SO
Dougherty started for the plate. SieVef
took a step forward deaving his positlon>
and threw the bail to the catcher who
rushed lip in front of the plate to receive
it. and touched Dousherty out
Davis Of course had no chance to hit
at the ball and if the facts are as re-
norted. he had 10 right to do 50. as that
would have been interference on his part
for the ball was not pitched TO nm. but

when the play is worked properly; that
is when the runner does not start until
after the boxman has started to pitch.
The New Yorks are tied with Cleveland
