There was also quite little talk

it pau any way. Eddie has learned his
lesson and is trying to do the right
thing.
The following resolution was passed
Tuesday night at a meeting of the
minor leagues: ssResolved that all
PLAYERS of the minor leagues who have
participated in the Triangular Series
of Games between the Santa Claras,
Keios and Hawaiis, be exempt from be
ing classed as professionals, or major
league players; and, likewise, those
who may take an active part in the
games played at the Honolulu Baseball
grounds during the stay of the atore-
said visiting teams. -
This sounds well and it might be
suggested that the Riverside and other
iunior leagues might be transformed
into an excellent nursery for the big
league if players therein were allowed
to be drafted for trial in the big
league teams at any time without
like reciprocity.

The visiting yaehtsmen from the

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Washington's birthday had its IN
ception l76 years ago today; and the
event still stirs the deep-laid tlbres OF
the American heart as no other ma
tional episode has ever done. The
man and the name are coiled mex
tricably in the early rough and sterl-
ing history OF our people, and time,
nor the play OF great events can dis
associate them. 1t is well for US to
have this splendid standard, even II
we do disregard it and follow the
later and coarser lines that adhere
closer to the dollar-route than to the
simpler and grander principles Wash
ington and his colleagues set up Tor
our guidance.
We can, and do, bark back to them,
when the underlying force and
strength of the national character Is
evoked by some extraordinary issue
or contretemps; and this faculty OF
taking up the original and cardinal
precepts of Our fathers and acting on
them to the full and final adjustment
of all our difficulties, is basic boon
of salvation and never has failed us
yet
Washington is the accepted type
of the American warrior, legislator,
patriot and leader; no matter what,
nor whom, else has intervented to
make us forget the glory of the first
great president, or to share with him
the lustre and laurels that have fallen
from the historic pageant we have
made our own.
1t is altogether right and righteous
that we acknowledge his supreme
gifts to the people OF America once
each year; and the nation will have
lost much indeed when it shall have
refused, or forgotten; to perpetuate
and honor his memory.

FOUR FINE HARBORS.

San Diego, San Francisco, Astoria,
Puget Sound; these four, and no
more!
These are the marine refugees OF the
Pacific Coast; the harbors that are to
stand for the commerce, and naval
resort, of the nation on the western
coasts of the United States, for many
years to come; or until other fine
bays in various latitudes are so built
upon and perfected by jetties and
artificial channels as to make them
of dependable auxiliary service to the
business and government of Our
people.
Three of these great havens are
civically independent; Puget Sound
being the only one of which any part
borders upon alien territory, either
in its main waters or the ocean chan
nels leading to them. The rest are
absolutely and inherently American
in every sense of the word and free
from all complications. All are for
tilted and amenable to expansive i'm
provement in that line when occasion
shall arise.
The people Of the coast are pro-
foundly interested in them all as
bases of trade, transportation and
protection, inseparable from develop.

A feature OF the roads Of France is
