BASEBALL
Picked Team Downs Regulars.

The picked team, with the assist
ance of Gaver, Robey and Nal
Foley, downed the regulars last
Friday by score of IL to 10, after
a see-saw battle of nine innings.
The regulars were minus the two
SmallwOod boys. and that explains
the defeat, as drives went for safe
ties through their positions.
The regulars secured eleven safe
hits, while the picked team piled
up fourteen safe and near-safe
swats.
1t was good game. though the
crowd was small.
The regulars hope to have third
and deciding game with the picked
team, and will then show the would
be champs" a few tricks they
have in reserve.

Landslide in West for BRYAN.

In a letter to the COURIER, Mr..
John NJ. Meade, engineer of the
Eastern Grand Division of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Company, a native of
White Post, but who has been in

Kansas is going for Bryan.
Look out for a landslide to him all

Mr.. Meade's prediction will be
amply verified when the ballots
are counted on the night of
November 3.

INTOLERANCE.

ODoer the ABOVE caption the
Richmond News-Leader takes a
shot at the recent resolution pass
by the Bryan and Kern Club here,
from which we make the following
extract:
At the last meeting of the Ber-
ryvilIe democratic club, the Balti-
more Sun was rOundly denounced
because IL favors the election of
Taft for president. The resolu-
tions suggested and almost de-
manded that all democrats cease to
take or read the Sun on pain of
having their party loyalty be-
smlrched. Incidentally, it is a
good safe solid bet that the major
lty of the members of the Berry
vile club bought or sought the Sun
every day for week following
the adoption of their resolution to
see whether it would have anything
to say in reply"
And our contemporary further
remarks that
The democratic party did not
supply the capital to establish the
Baltimore Sun and has not operated
or sustained it."
You are sadly mistaken, friend,
In saying that the Suns readers
watched 20 see if there would be
comment on their action. The
local readers of the Sun, since it
came out for Taft, haven't cared a
continental about it, or what it had
to say against the Democratic
ticket in Its editorial columns: and
since the action of the Bryan and
Kern Club it has been positively
ingnored.
Further, when YOU say the Dem
ocratic party did not supply the
capital To establish the Baltimore
Sun, YOU are correct: but when
you say that the Democratic party
has not sustained it, you are talk
ing about something with which
you have not the slightest acquaint-
ance and concerning which we will
pardon your ingnorance.
The Democratic party-through
ITS members, without whom there
can be no Democratic party-has
not only sustained the Baltimore
Sun by their patronage and sup
port, but have made il the power
full organ which it has been for
many years. The Baltimore Sun.
in the families and homes of the
Upper Shenandoah Valley has
stood second only to the Bible
itself, and It's opinions have been
quoted as almost Gospel, because
1t was sustained by the Democrats
of Maryland and Virginia. Thou
sands of Democrats in Virginia and
Maryland were personal friends of
the elder Abel, they knew him TO
be a Democrat beyond criticism
or price" and his sayings and
writings were quoted widely.
But the new "dispensation" on
the Sun has disgusted the long
time friends of that paper, and has
alienated those who sustained it.
Anyone with sufficient capital
can start a newspaper, but, as the
News-Leader ought to know, it
must be sustained by its friends
and patrons. The friends and
patrons who sustaind the Sun for
many years have been the Demo-
Gratis of the two Virginias and
Maryland.

One of Lees veterans. writ
ing from Staunton. wishes to know
to whom a recent article on the
Professional Confederate was in
tended to applp.
To any and every one whom the
cap fits. To any and every who
was non n-combatant in the war
and seeks to cover up the flaw in
his record 10y blatant tributes to
glories in which he had M share.
and by usurping in the reunions
and parades of Confederate camps
a prominence in exact proportion
to their shrinkage from the front
rank during the period when the
post of honor was also the post of
danger. The further in the rear
such persons kept while the bullets
were flying the more insistent they
are pushing to the head of the col
umn now that the battle flags have
been furled and the guns unshotted
for over forty years. Why is thisl
Because those who bore the brunt
of the struggle have established
long ago their claim To honor and
have no missgivings as to their
place in the hearts of the Southern
people. But the Knights of the
Bombproof are never free from
the consciousness that the hour
of trial found them wanting; and
therefore their boasts are the
loudest, their pretensions, the most
aggressive, their "reminiscences the
lurid, their uniforms most painfully
correct, their appearance in meet
ings and professions most conspic-
uous, and their hunger for fictiti-
Gus titles and fictitious reputation
the most Unsuitable. He needs to
be busy who would win recogni-
tion as veteran without ever hav-
ing been a soldier, who can show
no scars, who has never figured
lin the Gazette" who can not
bring comrades to testify how
manfully he fought beside them.
His only hope is that credit boldly
appropriated will be generally
granted, that pOst-bellum zeal will
ward off impcrtinent scrutiny into
the past. and that the wearing of a
gray coat with badge on the
breast will carry conviction that
the wearer had been among the
first to brave the storm, among
the most constant in facing it, and
of the last to yield To its fateful
beatings.
If there are none such so arrogat-
ing fame which has no fact to
rest upon, then none have we
offended.
If such there be, none know it
better than themselves; and in that
knowledge lies, perhaps, the most
effectual punishment of that sin
which is a double sin in that it
steals the robe of light to counten-
ance a lie. Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot.

TXO-PaCed Newspapers.

Mr.. Watterson's article on the
political outlook in the World was
both able and comprehensive.
We said in an editorial published
June 9th, 1908: This year the
members of the special privileges
party protesting TO be Democrats
and who declare for Taft will be
discredited in advance by the pub
lie knowledge of their association
with the special privileges party.
This applies also to the reactionary
newspapers in this years cam
paign. The public knowledge
that they are owned or controlled
by the special privileges party
robs them of all Of their influence
through the public knowledge that
it is simply the dollars and not
principles that speaks through
their column"
Mr.. Watterson certainly must
upon reflection realize that news
papers owned or controlled by
Messrs. Ochs or Mclean would
support the reactionary candidates.
Taft and Sherman, for perfectly
obvious reasons. The Baltimore
Sun is another case in point. This
latter newspaper never had any
intention of supporting Mr.. Bryan.
This was evidenced in its attempt
to have the Democratic party share
with the Republican party in the
onus of the negro plank in the
Chicago platform. The insincerity
of the Baltimore Sun was proven
by its final declaration for Taft.
The Sun ostensibly held that it was
opposed to the Democratic party
pledging itself to give the negro
voters pledges to appoint them to
Federal Offices. The Republican
candidates and the Republican plat
form gives pledges to the negro
voters. The Democratic platform
Is silent on the negro question and
very properly so, and Candidate
Bryan stands upon the platform.
The Sun on reading over Mr..
Bryan speech of acceptance.
printed its editorial declaring for
Taft. the pro-negro candidate. run
ming on the Chicago platform with
a prO-negro plank. The Sun. of
course, had to give a reason. Its
reason does not hold water. The
representatives of the legitimate
business interests of the country
are to the extent of so per cent. in
favor of Bryan's election. The
fact that followers of Hearstism.
Debsism and Wisconsin are op-
posed to Bryan in itself answers
the Sun.
This newspaper is independent
and we deem it our duty in this
campaign to rebuke any unfair
newspaper treatment of either Mr..
Taft or Mr.. Bryan. The Balti-
more Sun cannot honestly claim to
be anything other than an organ of
the special privileges party which
