BASE BALL NOTES.

The Grangeville ball team will
play at Kamiah Sunday and at
Nezperce Monday.
The Grangeville team defeated
the White Bird boys at the
county seat Monday in a closely
contested game by a score of 6
to 3.
The lilo ball team played a
game last week at Kamiah and
was defeated by a score of 10 to
6. During the game two women
roofing for the different teams
got into a fight and came near
to involving both the ball teams
and spectators in a free for all
engagement.
In the game at lilo Tuesday the
home team was defeated by a
score of 16 to Z. The boys went
up against the best players to be
had on Nezperce prairie but even
then had the game won by a
score of 5 to 1, until a succession
of costly errors on the part of
Noel and Cleveland gave the
game to the lilo team.
The local ball team left Sunday
morning for Kamiah where they
played that afternoon and won
the game by a score of 6 to 2.
Rustemeyer pitched a good game
for the local team and was giver
excellent support. In the game
played at Nezperce Monday the
locals were defeated by a score
of 6 to s. The Nezperce team
was considerably strengthened
for the occasion and the close
score shows that our boys played
great ball, especially as Mattlock
the regular second baseman, wa
put in to pitch against Nezperc,
and had never pitched a gam,
before in his life.
The Ito base ball team wen
down to defeat here Saturda.

about $3.50, 900 a year to live on

MARRIAGE LICENSE

The Baltimore Sun thinks there
ought TO be a graduated marriage
license tax according to the value OF
the dot the prospective groom is ID
get from the brides family. especially
if he is an impoverished member o.
the European nobility. just as has been
proposed on inheritance and income
tax Here is the way The Sun puts
the facts as it says they now exist uu-
der the law regulating the purchase OF
marriage licenses:
Emanue! Theodore Bernard dAl-
bert de Luynes, Due &c Chaulnes. paid
just 81 in the New York Marriage Lii
cense bureau for a certificate that en-
titled him to one handsome American
girl, one wedding ceremony and one
fulisized American fortune. Not long
Iago Hungarian Baron paid 81 at the
same stand for a certificate that en-
titled hiIr: to on handsome American
girl, one wedding cerem ony. and about
10, 10000 600 as good American dollars
as were ever coined
man who had been honest and a hard
worker all his life paid ST. for a GER
|tihcate that closely resembled the
ones bought by the lucky foreigners,
but the certificate entitled ham to one
girl, one wedding ceremony and a life
time of hard work to get enough to
feed his family and keep the little
home going.
That paper says it doesn't seem
right to charge a man the same
amount for a working card for life
that you would charge the foreign no
blemah for q ticket to fortune. But
The Sun forgets that the results show
that the laboring man who pays the
dollar for his working card for life''
usually gets much greater return in
happiness and conIentment than do
the couple who exchange the wealth
Of the American bride for the title of
the European bridegroom The poor
American generally gets more for his
dollar than does the other.

There is danger or this very condi-
tion being brought about In our state
at the present time as long as the
1eople Of each town were allowed.
under the Watts law, to pass for them
selves upon the question Of saloons or
no saloons in their own community
they were content and the cause OF
prohibition through local option was
gaining ground TO the entire satisfac-
ton OF the conservative but sincere
advocates Of that principle. But hat
did not suit certain politicians and
over-zealous prohibitionists who have
brought the people of the state face to
face with the question whether or not
the right OF choice in this matter,
which heretofore has been enjoyed by
every town in the state; shall be token
from the citizens of few OF our towns
by the votes OF citizens CT other sec
tions of the state who have no inter
est whatever in whether those few
towns shall have saloons or no saloons
Do the people OF those sections of the
state who have by their votes settled
this question for themselves think they
have the right to say 10 the people of
other sections that they shall have sa-
looms or shall have prohibition? Will
the sturdy men of this state who 50
dearly love liberty and the principle
of self-government undertake in this
way to dictate to their fellow citizens
in other sections Of the state on q
question concerning the latter only!
The question to be voted on in May
is not whether the voters OF the entire
state shall decide the question Of Iro-
hibition or saloons Cor the whole state.
but whether voters of the state from
Cherokee to Currituck shall say that
few towns in the state which have
heretofore decided for themselves In
favor of saloons shall be allowed 10
SO remain or shall, against their will,
be forced to come under prohibition.
We believe there are many m in the
state who favor prohibition fer cir
own section who will oppose tbs ar
bitrary manner of forcing it on othe
people and will therefore vote against
the bill. These who are advocates OF
government will surely co SO f5r
that is the highest principle invo.ved

that we should publish what Ss As
to say as to HIS reasons for max ss
the suggestion. In yesterdays News
and Observer We find the following
in an interview of Mr. kitchiR by the
Washington correspondent OF thaf pa
per: s,tia,
The reasons that I had IN desiring
that the congressional convention DO
held after the state convention was
that I wanted TO avoid the possible
complications that may arise in the
congressional convention and the por-
sibility OF danger TO me from the dis
appointment, OF somo OF the friends
OF the various candidates for congress
in the ffth district over the failure
of their favorites to succeed I'm the
congressional convention a. more
than one cannot be nominated. y

lutely OF OF tho Fifth district con-
gressionaI contest But experience. 4
very muct. rNgret 10 Know. tells me
that such a policy so generally APP
proved in one holding a position to
which he was elected by the friends
OF every candidate in his district has
not heretofore prevented injury TO me
from such irpart!1rity. These roa-
sons I thought would be manifest To
every body at all acquainted With the
situation. / DO not see how n late con-
vention could hurt congregational can
didates, and l thought IL would be
precaution against harm TO me In the
gubernatorial contest
We do not think this explanation
places Mr.. Kitchin In n very envi RE
light before the public. His sole mo
tive. it seems. In trying TO have the
congressional convention postponed
until after that OF the state wa n
selfish one-to prevent danger to
himself in his candidacy for the glitN-
ernatorial nomination. His success is
paramount. and TO increase hs
chances the precedents OF the Iarty
must he violated We do not think
this explanation OF Mr.. Kirhin puts
him In much better position than had
his reason been as f's. surmisel. II
shows his utter sclfishness IL his en-
deavor TO secure the nominate, and
his unwillingness TO stand by any
friend who is a candidate for another
office.

News from Washington indicates
that a strenuous effort viii be mad,
to break the Taft hold on the south
The movement in this state viii be in
In the Eighth district where
the Cannon men viii try 10 capture she
delegates 20 tie national convention.
This will be followed by similar at
tenpts all over the south. There seems
TO be concerted effort inaugurated on
tie part OF the ant-administration
forces TO block the Taft game in all the
southern states. Their plan is to Sc
cure a contesting delegation from ev-
cry southern state which sends a regl-
lar Taft delegation 10 the convention.
The plan is to have these contes.ing
delegations composed Of Cannon men.
This, no doubt, is Senator Foraker's 8
plan to defeat the schemes OF Messrs.
Roosevelt and Taft He knows that
he can have better success In this
movement by putting Speaker Cannon
TO the front as the opposing candidate
than were he to attempt TO secure del
egates from this section for himself.
This is the latest plan on the part of
the Ohio senator 10 secure the over
throw OF the administration and its
candidate. Senator Foraker may be
whipped as a presidential candidate
but he has not given up the fight
against the men who have caused his
overthrow and he is going TO give them
some lively times before the victory is
won.

SURELY A JOKE.

We have long looked upon the
Washington Post as cne of the most
level-headed papers ip this whole
country. AS rule it never loses its
balance and 1t always clear-sighted;
therefore We were greatly surprised to
find the following In it's editorial COL
umnss
The democratic party to be success
full must have all the forces known
as Bryan men and 1t must gain hund-
reds Of thousands of votes in states
that are debatable.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Bryan
would lose Nebraska this year as he
did in 1900, and the probabilities are
that Johnson of Minnesota, could
carry that state, as he has done twice
already, and could do better than Mr.
Bryan in other states. With John
son on the democratic ticket every
democratic state would be surely DEM
ocratic, and his nomination would
render doubtful dozen states now IN
the solid republican column.
On the presidential ticket Hearst
would tear the electrical vote of New
York from the republican party.
With a ticket of Johnson and
Hearst or Hearst and Johnson every
state of the northwest and many
states Of the east would become de-
batable.
The democratic party would have a
contest for pricioles headed by men
who would be able to win.
Can The. Post be serious? 1t is not
given to trffing in such grave mat
ters, and that is what puzzles u.s.
Surely that paper would not
make joke Of advocating a man for
the nomination for president by the
democratic party. and yet we cannot

TIRE .. & NJ. UAX1NG.

News comes from Raleigh that the
Senior class 1T the Agricultural ami
Eechanical college has compelled two
j ,., sCphomores who took part in
The recent hazing TO leave the college
and that others will be forced to
leave. This is as it should be. While
those men should have been publicly
expelled by the college authorities,
perhaps it is better that they should
have been forced to leave by the stu
dents, as it may nave better moral
effect. When The students are made
to know that If they will not keep
solemn pledges made on their honor
but violate them in the performance
OF such brutal conduct they will not
be tolerated in the college by their
fellow students they will be more
careful how they break their pledges.
But what we do not understand 1t
why it was So easy for members Of
the senior class to find out who The
culprits were while at the same time
the faculty found 1t impossible to Sc
cure any information as TO their
identity. II the seniors could get this
Information why could not the facul-
ty do the same?
In connection with this matter and
on the question of the president pros
ecuting students who violate the
criminal law of the state The News
and Observer says: Can a college
president prosecutor taking the po-
sition that he stands in the position
Of parent to the students. 1t says:
Another interesting point in connec-
ton with the governors recommended
ton that criminal proceedings be star
ed against the culprirs is the duty Of
the college officials in the premises.
The president of a college is in loco
PARENTS to every student who is mat
REGULATED. The more nearly he per-
forms the duty of a parent toward the
students, the more nearly is he per-
forming his duty as a president of a
college. That being rrue,-what of
the criminal prosecution? Is it the
duty of father to have an erring son
prosecuted? Would any father be JUS
tilted, finding his son on a spree, In
turning him over to the police for
drunkenness? His duty on the con-
trary would clearly be to carry or
send him home. Is not the college
presidents duty the same? And if not
the fact that he is in loco PARENTS a
bar to his acting as s. prosecutor
When the conduct of a charge is such
as to render him hurt rather than a
benefit to the college, he may be sent
home to his natural parent. Rut
while he is with his legal parent-the
president--it would Seem tnat the lat
ter owes the student the duties of a
father, as well as the student sur
renders to him the rights of a parent.
II President Winston stands in loco
PARENTS to the students at the COT
lege he also represents the state
which maintains the institution. His
higher duty is to the state whose
agent he is for the proper conducting
OF the affairs Of that institution and
he owes it to the state TO see that
they are properly conducted, that dis
cipline is maintained, that. the laws
Of the college and of the state are
obeyed and those who violate them
are punished. His relations TO the
students in loco PARENTS surely can
not outweigh his duties to the state
whose agent and representative he is.
The latter come first

riously advises our party to nominate
such a man as William r Hearst for

AS 1t cannot be shipped from Sails

Prohibition territory. what can tfoso
towns that voted IL out do with II?
It is true that liquors can. notwith-
starding any state law. be shipped
from another state into a prohibition
section OF this state. but this would
not be changed by The adoption OF the
act to be submitted to the people.
Towns under prohibition have protee-
tion against those in the state where
liquor is allowed to be sold. People
Of the former will not create greater
self-protection against wet towns m
the state by voting for the oil, tor
they now have that protection 10 the
fullest extent that it can be granted
by the legislature. The only effect ~
their votes for the bin will be TO die

pie to stop the sale of liquors within
their own borders, TO which II is

THAT KITCHIN LETTER.

Persons in the Fifth congres .ional
district and in other parts of the state
also are still discussing the letter Mr..
Kitchin wrote to one of the executive
committeeman of his district advocat-
ing the postponement of the district
convention until after that OF the state.
There seems to be no ground now for
the first supposition that he would be
a candidate for the congressional NOM
ination if he failed to secure that for
governor. He has written to Mr.. Bux-
ton, one of the candidates for the con-
gressional nomination that he would,
under no circumstances, stand for re-
nomination. In this letter to Mr.. Bux-
ton he said he had no ulterior mo-
tive" in making the suggestion as to
the conventions. In his letter to the
committeeman he said that the reason
for holding the state convention first
was manifest. Now in view OF these
two expressions people are wondeli ing
why Mr. Kitchin does not want the
district convention held prior to the
state convention as usual. Some say
that he does not want to have to de-
clare for any one of the several can
didates for congress in his district and
thereby cause offense to the fiends
Of the others before the gubernatora al
nomination is settled. If this be his
object it weakens him with the follow
ing of each congressional candidate
by creating the impression that he is
trying to play them, one against the
other, for his personal advantage,
none of them knowing which ones he
is going to sacrifice. Along this line
the Charlotte Observer says:
There are two theories about the
matter. One is that by securing the
pOStponement or the district conven-
tion Mr.. Kitchin would have ii to fall
back on if he failed in the state con-
vention. This he denies. So this
won't do. The other IS that, being
hard pressed by some or all Of the
candidates for the delivery or the vote
of Person, county in the district con-
vention, he wants to postpone this re-
sponsibility-which is to say a decis-
ion as between the candidates-until
after the nomination for governor IS
made But he says his letter TO the
committeeman or committeeman had
no ''ulterior purpose" And so this
won't do, either. Then what was the
purpose? In the language OF Barkis
Brooks of Sheffield is sharp"
What puzzles the people is if Mr..
Kitchin had mo Interior motive In
suggesting the change in the usual or
der of holding the conventions why he
should consider the reason for SO doing
as manifest, and they would like to
know what are those reasons. As a
candidate seeking the support OF the
people it is due to them that he should
state what are those manifest reasonA

WHY INJUSTICE TO WILMINGTON.

On last InurSday line oeSScAsoi
had occasion to aIlude to the fact that
certain newspapers III the state were
commenting on the crowded condition
of New Hanover coInty's Jail and the
large criminal docket awaiting the
next term of court This condition OF
affairs was a sweet morsel for some
editors to roll under their tongue. It
seemed to give them pleasure to give
these figures along with the announce
ment that there were SO many saloons
in our city.
The Messenger called attention to the
fact that there had been but one Grim
inal term Of court in this county since
last July and requested those papers
which had referred to the condition
Of our criminal docket to do our coun-
ty the justice of publishing that fact.
So far not single one Of those pa
pers, so far as we have seen, has taken
any notice of our request We can
put only one construction on this
silence-the ones VINO published the
damaging report are not willing to do
our city and county justice or to make
amende honorable when their atten-
ton is called to an error committed
which is calculated to besmirch the
good name Of one of the most order
ly cities in the whole south.
The above Is by way of preface to
what We wish to say in reference u
the grand jury report for the February
term of Mecklenbury (dry county, su-
perior court Remember, New Hanov-
er has had but one week of criminal
court since last July. Mecklenburg
one weeks term in September and a
one weeks term in December, and on
the 10th instant there began another
term of criminal court. The grand
jury for that term made it's report
last Saturday in which it announced
that it had found one hundred and
forty-one true bulls of indictment
against criminals in that county-aI-
most as many indictments at one term
Of court-with three criminal terms
intervening since the tlast criminal
court in New Hanover save one week S
term nearly five months ago-as there
are now pending for trial in our
county. With these facts before the
public why should New Hanover be
held up as the criminal county of the
state? And when the error of sucn
charge is pointed out why is it that
certain editors have not the fairness
and the manhood to give the facts
and admit that they have done our
people dH Injustice! maybe they Will
do so after the election in May, but
just now they need these misrepre-
sentations in their business and they
can't afford, from their biased view
point and narrow -mindedness, to give
up what they consider a good illus
tration-whether false or correct
of the point they wish to make in
order to aid cause in which they have
enlisted. With them We suppose 1t is
case Of the cause justifying the
means
