REDLANDS, March 20.-In the pres
ence of a. crowd of 1900 people the
Chicago White Sox this afternoon had
narrow escape from defeat at the
hands of q picked team from this city
and San Bernardino.
The game resulted to 5 in favor of
the White Sox. The game was a fast
one. All the way through the visitors
found they had to play ball to win.
The feature of the game was easily
the work of Gilbert, in the box for the
locals, tanning nine men and holding
them down to a few scattering hits.
The work of Waters of San Bernardno
at first base was fast, while LIE Jeune,
in the left garden for the Sox, did
some sensational fielding. Myers of
San Bernardino who caught Gilbert.
also did great work. Most of the busi-
ness houses were closed during the
hours of the game and several hum

A large crowd was a. Santa Anita
park yesterday afternoon to do battle
with the bookies, and the talent got
much the best IF the argument. as foul
favorites and two heavily backed sec
ond choices came home winners.
Jockey Schilling was riding In good
form, as ne piloted four winners, ana
he was given a rouSing reception edch
time he returned to the scales, ana ms
followers won a lot OF money me
class of horses that ran were anythlns
but the best, and with the exception OF
the third, which was a close finish, the
othe- five winners won easily.
Barbette, with Schilling in the saddle,
was as good as to l at one time, ana
she rewarded her hackers after setting
her own pace all the way and was
never in trouble. TurnaWay hnlsheu
fast through the stretch and beat Belle
Griffon d half length for place honors.
Royal Queen and Aquiline tired run
ming after the winner.
When the odds to 1 were posted
against Ace of Diamonds, the Hildreth
colt. there was rush to get ABOARD
with the result that Chipmunks odds
went to to l when the stable commits
sion appeared and forced his odds to
to 1. 1t was 10 race as Schilling got
the Thomas colt away we'll and he won
as his rider pleased. Fred Maier and
Sir Barry fought it out the f1nal SIX
teenth for the place, and Fred got 1t by
a head. Sir Barry and Ace of Diamonds
are good lockers and will do to re-
member.
Ingham, the to 10 favorite, led his
field from the start to finish, but had to
be hustled through the stretch to with
stand Gossipers determined challenge.
Nuns Yelling had little contention for
the short end of the purse.
Plays Around Wisteria
The public played all around Wis
teria in the fourth race, despite Schill-
ing having the mount and fell for
Norfolk and Mintia. The odds on Wis
teria went to 4 to 1 when the wise
money appeared and forced her price
down a half noint She had rough
journey all the way, and Schllling got
through on the rail turning into the
stretch and after being shaken up
little she won, going away from Toller,
which had no excuses. Norfolk tired
badly in the few closing strides when
he looked to have second money
cinched. Mintia quit when the real
racing began.
Talarand was the third favorite of
the day to win, and after Louise FitZ-
gibbon shot her bolt Goldstein shot her
to the front and she won easily from
Grandita, which finished gamely under
the whip Lucky Lad acted mean at
the barrier, and after getting away
none too we'll finished like a shot the
last sixteenth Tab this one. Silver
Sue had a rough journey and Kirkfield
Belle quit after being we'll up for six
furlongs.
Schilling got Thomas Flyer away fly
ing in the sixth race, and he won like a
fair sort of a colt. Lancashire Lad was
close up all the way and in a drive
Goldstein just managed to make him
last long enough to get the place from
S. A Carlisle. The latter was away
poorly and ran all over horses at the
finish.

UNJUST TO Mr.. BRYAN.
New Orleans States.

When a newspaper reporter in Cor
pus Christi asked Mr.. Bryan if he
would again be the candidate Of the
democratic party for president, the
Nebraskan's reply was courteous
evasion of a question which he rea-
lized, as everybody else did. was both
impertinent and untimely- But con-
servative-for-revenue newspapers like
the New York World and the Charles
ton News and Courier, seized upon
Mr.. Bryan'S statement as proof that
he intends to be a candidate. and
proceeded to viciously attack him.
The World went to the length of
saying that: Mr. Bryan Is willing
to be defeated 5ust as often as the
democratic party is willing to have
him defeated. He will continue it in
definitely if the Southern leaders con-
tinue their present policy of contemp-
tible cOwardice in dealing with his
perpetual candidacy" So far as the
Southern leaders are concerned the
World knows that they were power
less to prevent the nomination of Mr..
Bryan, because he was the choice of
an overwhelming majority of the
democrats in the South. If the lead
ers had controlled the nomination
they probably would have nominated
some confirmed conservative satisfac-
tory to the great interests" of the
East, with the result that the defeat
of the democratic party would have
been more complete and disastrous
than it was.
The Southern leaders found them
selves in the position of the French
politician WHO one day seeing a great
crowd rushing past his door, grabbed
his hta, and cried, There go my peo-
pie. I'm their leader and must fol-
low them" 1t was so with the south
ern leaders who were compelled to fol-
low the great army of voters who raj
lied to the support of Mr.. Bryan as
their choice for president And if in
1912 the rank and file of the democra-
cy in the South and West should again
express in proper form the wish that
he be their leader, what course would
he have but to serve them?
At this time it is impossible to
know what course political events will
take in the next four years, but the
real friends of Mr.. Bryan do not be-
lieve he is nursing any desire to be
a candidate again, but on the contra
~. he will, at the proper tine, make
that fact very clear, and contribute
his great ability and influence to the
selection of such a candidate AMI the
formation of such policies as promise
most for party triumph at the polls.
The democrats of the South, it is
well to remark in closing. are not
likely TO be seriously disturbed by
the attacks or slurs of the New York
World. They recall the fact that in
1904 they were influential enough to
nominate the man the World wanted
as a candidate, and they remember
quite distinctly that the World de-
serted him during the campaign. and
sold its columns to the republican ma
tiOnal committee.

Read Up on Your
War History.

Dear. dear, here is so generally
well informed a paperi as the Shreve-
port, La, Times, gravely talking
about 1.-The movement to erect a joint
monument on Bloody Angle on the
Gettysburg battlefield to the memory
of Grant and Lee. These young edit
ors, both north and south, who have
come on since the war must really
read up on their history and at least
get right on the big and undisputed
facts of the great strife
The Bloody Angle" of sublime and
awful renown in American military
annals was a point on the Spottsyl-
vania battlefield during the Wilder
ness campaign when Grant and Lee
were first pitted against each other.
and at that particular point in t1e
line of eaTthwoTks hastily thrown up
there was an angle so fiercely assault
ed and SO stubbOrnly defended that
the dead and wounded literally cover
ed the face of the earth. Hence it,
fame. 1t was on Virginia SOIL Get
tysburg was fought in Pennsylvania
long before the Bloody Angle" con-
test, and Grant was not there. Gen
eral Meade commanded the Union
army in that stupendous battle and
General Lee the Confederate army.
We are so concerned these days
with the titanic struggles on the
bloody fields of football and baseball
and automobile contests and pugilist-
ic fist-fights that we haven't time to
keep posted on suoh trivial incidents
In ancient history as the lutte scraps
OF the civil war and the inconsequent
fellows who directed them. We can
tell about baseball averages and like
mighty themes, but Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, Chickamauga and other
stricken fields are names of empty
meaning for most of us of a younger
generation, and yet around those
names cluster the most awful and
glorious memories of the republic, a
perpetual fountain of heroic inspira-
ton for all the people of America
But Hans Wagner at the bat or
Ketchell landing with terrific force
upon the noble SnoOt of Papke have
the call these days.

Drought a libel suit against the Topeka
state Journal for newspaper publica-
lions growing out of a county bond
deal The attorney general lost in the
court below and appealed. The SUI
preme court of Kansas has just dis
missed the appeal and the following is
taken from its decision:
II the publisher of a newspaper
circulated throughout the state pub
nShes an article reciting facts and
making comment relating to the Off
clal conduct and character of a state
omcer who is a candidate for re-elec-
tlon for the sole purpose of giving to
the people of the state what ne hon
eStIy believes to be true information
and for the sole purpose of enabling
the voters to cast their ballot more in
tellgently, and the whole thing is
done in good faith, the publication is
privileged, although the matters con-
tanned in the article may be untrue
and derogatory to the character of the
candidate"
That decision is the very embodi-
ment of common sense and plain JUS
tice and it ought TO be the law in
be in time. Malicious defamation OF
character by a newspaper should be
severely punished, for in such cases
the paper sinks its high public func-
ton in the mire of personal spite and
prostitutes its exceptional facilities
and appliances to base, revengeful
purposes; but honest criticism OF
public official is a very different mat
ter and should be privileged unless
We are to have a gagged press curt
off from what is perhaps its highest
form of usefulness. Public officials
should always be watched and they
always court it when they are honest,
and there IS no effective agency to
watch them except the public press.

The other day in Washington city
the detectives captured one L. T. Lat
shaw said to be the cleverest forger
and confidence man in the United
States. His speciality was passing
bogus checks He had rubber stamps
for dating the checks, a numbering
machine and a perforator. He talked
freely of his swindling operations and
said: 1T is easy money; the world
IS full of suckers. l have worked
every state in the union from New
York to Florida. They've got the
goods on me now, and l might as well
confess" There are other Latshaws
preying on society; and the season is
at hand here in Florida when it be-
hooves US to look for them with their
plausible tongues and their bogus
checks. Our pistol toters are indig-
enous, but these chaps are imported
goods, smooth as silk and hard to de-
tect from honest men until you've
been stung.
