News Of the Diamond

The White Sox took double header
last Saturday and Sunday from New
Albin in as pretty exhibitions Of ball as
has been seen on the local grounds for
many day. In the first game the Sox
won by superior generalship and ability
to get hits at the right time. In the
second game the SOx had the game
cinched after the fourth inning, BAIL
allowing only two hits during the game,
and at no time was the visitors able to
come within a mile of a score. The
feature of the first game was a throw
from left field fowl line, when Weigel
pegged one down to home and cut off
a score. A sacrifice hit by Johnson and
a timely drive by Schlouch brought in
the two scores Sa .urday, and in Sum
days q Ame Weigel was scored by hit
W A .erson. Both games were as the
nTes indicate, Anybody's game, until
t ninth frame had been completed.
l. visitors were a gentlemanly lot of
fellows and ball players all the time.

norant charwoman. But the
manners which mark inborn un-
selishness and gentleness are
those which distinguish Natures
noblemen from the guided boor.
We may not all be naturally
gentle and devoid Of selfishness,
but if training is given early
enough, and persisted in long
enough time, it will repress, sub
due and SO nearly eradicate sell
fishness that it will require close
observation to enable US to dis
tinguish between the artificial
gentleman or gentlewoman and
Natures product.
1t is this training, however,
which we are neglecting. The
evidence of this is found on every
hand. On the streets, in public
conveyances, at places of public
entertainment, even in churches
the spirit of self dominates.
Helplessness gets scant consider
alton; age, learning, wisdom,
pietyare not shown the Difference
and respect to which they are
Justly entitled and which were
once freely and graciously ac-
corded to them. Men show little
more Difference and respect for
women than their grandfather
was accustomed to show to James,
his coachman, or Thomas his but
ler. Women show no resentment
to this, kut pass it by as if a nee
essary condition of social life.
We have visions of a sweet, beau
tiful, womanly old grandmother,
so gracious, so dignifed that the
most needless schoolboy never
stood with covered head in her
presence, and the man who was
enough thoughtless to do so
never repeated the mistake, yet
no woman was more truly unset
fish, sympathetic and helpful
than she.
We sometimes hear elderly
men and women spoken of as of
the old school of manners. :" If
we should live to be old we would
covet the distinction, but, alas,
alas we were born in a rer-
verse generation, and the guild
ing material is already much
worn. This induces US to plead
for renascence of the old school
of manners,

Statement NO. I.
Something of Humbug. The
Williams Statement o. K.

Editor Gazette:
When a man of the experience,
learning and wisdom Of Hon.
Georgh H. Williams OF Portland,
Oregon, sometimes familiarly &;
and, 1 might say, affectiorateIy
called "Flaxbrake" and who has
filled some of the highest Offices
in the state and nation with credit
to himself and honor to those
he served, say when such a man
speaks out on public questions of
pressing Importance, it is high
time his fellow citizens sit up
and take notice.
In the morning Oregonian of
the 18th he published a letter
dealing with Statement No. I of
the primary election law, and he
explains that a candidate for the
Legislature may, under the pri-
mary law, file a statement-not
necessarily statement no. I nor
vet no. 2, but any cid statement
he chooses.
AS we all know, in the present
state of the public mind, a legis-
lative candidate must depend for
his election on his declaration ia
reference to United States Sena-
tor. Judge Williams suggests a
statement which ought to Satisfy
republicans, if it does not happen
in this particular election to sat-
isfy adherents of other political
parties. I have heard the same
opinion from several republicans
we'll known throughout the coun-
ty, and the reason why State
men No. I was not framed to
admit of a construction in line
with General Williams views was
that the whole subject was new
and its effect had not been con-
sidered when the law was en-
acted.
The Williams statement is
simply this: II will, if elected,
vote for that Republican candi-
date for United States Senator,
ETC." "for "that Democrat
candidate" or "for that Social
ist candidate" as the case may
be, and such statement will
practically result in the majority
vote of the dominant party elect
ing the Senator. That would re-
tire Statement No. I which in its
effect is something of a humbug.

NEW POSTAL Law.

The United States Postal De-
partmenl his made new regula-
tons in regard to carrying second
class mail matter { such as news
papers, magazines, periodicals,
etc.) the same gong into effect
January I, 1898, and allowing
pu blishers TO April I. 1908, 20
pr, pare their subscription lists in
accordance with the new order of
things. The effect of the change
practically compels the establish
ment OF new relations between
the publisher and subscribers of
county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions entitled to the
second class postage rate shall
not be delinquent longer than the
following periods of time:
Dailies within three months.
Iri-weeklies within six months.
Semi weeklies within nine
months.
Weeklies within one year
The mails are not forbidden to
subscribers who are in AREA. S
longer than the time provided in
the new ruling, but these subscri-
bers are placed in separate class
i6cation, requiring a higher rate
of postage the rate Being so high
that publishers could not afford
to send papers at the price of sub
scription.
The reason given by the gov
ernment tor making this order is
that second class mail matter is
being carried through the mails
at rate of postage thereon
which is less than the cost of car
riage.
The GAZETTE has heretofore
been liberal in giving to its sub
scribers time to pay for their sub
scriptions, by paying $2oo per
year for those past due and 81. so
per annum when the same was
paid in advance. Having made
the difference in the past-due and
advance rate has resulted in Civ
dug the GAZETTE a larger portion
of paid up subscribers. This rule
must now be changed according
to Uncle Sans order, as the
newspaper has no voice in the
matter. The GAZETTE invites its
patrons to settle their dues soon.
