The annual meeting Of the Tri-State
baseball league will be held in Harris

Carpenter will for another year pilot the
league. having been reelected to the Of
flee at a special meeting held several
months ago.
Tn Tri-state has battled through two
hard seasons, and is now down to a
rock-bottom working basis and with the
return of prosperity the coming season
ought to be one Of the bes. in its his
tory. Everybody was satisfied with the
class of baseball put up last year It
was put up by promising youngsters anx-
ous to raise in the profession and II will
be the same during the coming sum-
mer
At present there is very little business
IN sight to be considered at the annual
meeting. unless the Trenton trouble
should turn out to be serious and be
put up to the league for settlement. The
situation in the New Jersey capital is a
little muddled because of the controversy
between Colonel Perrlne and Messrs.
Lynch and Mundy. who controlled the
club last year. and George Washington

to pilot the Tigers the coming season
The clash Is over the Trenton grounds
and who controls the Trenton club. Per.

from Trenton. He also claims that Lynch
will be compelled to pay the rental on tbs
grounds at Trenton next season wheth
er or not he uses them That question
does not concern the Tri-State league
but IS matter TO be settled betweeI
Lynch and Perrine should the club happei

will likely be amicably settled befor'
the annual league meeting.
There is another matter that may CONF
up for discussion and that is starting
the season a little later to avoid thu
rainy and cold weather such as has beer

Some OF the magnates favor such Z

the season longer in games. Arranging
the schedule is about the only matter o.

HEYDER MAY

National League Leaders Say
Present Leader Will Con-

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Dec. ia death certi-
ficate, properly signed by Garry Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati Ma
tion League Club. and Barney Dreyfus.
the Pittsburg magnate, was issued to-
day for the report that these men will
jump to the American League if Char
les W. Murphy and John T. Bush force
the election Of John NJ. Ward to the
presidency of the National League.
The report emanated from Cincinnati.
With all the National League mag
mates save Horace Fogel, of Philadel-
phia. in town, for the annual meeting
OF the National League tomorrow, the
all-engrOssing question of who is to
be elected president seems to be as
much obscured as it was a week ago.
Friends of John A. Heydier, who sue
ceeded to the presidency on the death
of Harry Pulliam. were more confident
to-day that Heydler would be re-elect-
ed than they have been since Murphy
first began engineering the opposition
to the present executive.
The increased optimism among Hevd-
ler's friends results from the decided
stand in his favor taken by Hermann
and Dreyfus, and the probability that
Stanley Robinson. of st. Louis, and
John Dovey, of Boston, may line UP
with them. If these four get to-
gether Il is almost certain that Heyd-
Ter will be reelected or the election
thrown into a deadlock that will finally
result in Heydler holding on to his
office, even though not reelected.
If Hermann and Dreyfus can muster
four Heydler votes. they declare they
will accept no compromise candidate
as between Heydler and John NJ. Ward.

BETTER THAN A USUAL YEAR" .
(Grundy DemocraD
| 1t has been a good many years
since this town has had real live
boom to push it along. There have
been no years of back stepping or
business depression. The town has
been holding it's own. But that isn't
the best it should do. The business
man that can say nothing better TO
his business that "That 1t is about
the same" or "as usual has no reas-
on for getting pessimistic or grouchy
about 1t, neither has he cause for self
congratulation or for patting himself
on the back.
The business man should aim to
make this year a better than "as us
ual' one And when he has made
that his aim, he should put sufficient
push back of it to keep up with 1t.
He should remember that business
last year that was as usuaf' is
started and that this start that 1t has
will make 1t gain speed If he puts the
same power behind it that he had be-
fore If the same force is applied that
it had last year. If business of this
kind is "as usual at the end of the
year, it is evident that some OF its
momentive power was withheld from 1t.
What may be said of an individual
business applies to a town as whole.
A town that at the end of the year
can't boast of anything better than
about as usual'' condition, has nothing
to boast of at ALL
We have had many about as US
ual'' years in this town. This year
may add another to the list. And
then it may not. The indications are
that it will not. There are now many
improvements we'll under way which If
they are realized will show at the close
of the year that we have had better
than 'as usual year. We will have a
sewer system completed during the
year, and in all probability we will
have a new railroad. If these two i'm
provements and none other come to us
there will need be none to show us
that we are making progress.
But If these two improvements
come, there will be others camping
close on their trail We need factories
to consume at least portion OF the
immense crops that the lands In this
county produce each year. When the
need is so evident the remedy will
come some time and it may come dur
ing the year of 1909. 1t will stand a
better chance to come if we all think
it will and do what we can to help it
along. Aside from that we can all
push. boost and urge. If we do that
there will be no time to knock and a
town without any knockers will think
it has boom whether it has or not.
If we all push. boost and urge for
the town during the year 1909 before
the year closes there will be evidences
of the healthiest boom this town ever
had and no one here will say year
from now that things here are about
as usual"

SOME NEEDED REFORMS.


In the first place the full proceedings
including the names of those appear
ing before the committees and their
object in appearing should be pub
lished in the journals Of these bodies.
The express office in the basement
Fof the capitol should be cut out. In
limited degree it is as really a nuisance
as was the free pass on the railroads,
The members of the general assem-
bly, can express free of charge any
thing from an official register to a
threshing machine. The express COM
panies can have but one object in this
free transportation Of goods. The peo-
pie pay for this in the end.
Then, there are the paper folders IN
each house held at a salary of 81 q
day each, which no member of the leg
islature would retain were the MEM
bers transacting their own business.
The principal duties of the paper fold
ers are as follows: When a member
finds in some paper where the editor
has given him a puff, POSSIBLY he paid
the editor SIS for the puff, he directs
one of the paper folders to fold for
him, one or dozen of these papers as
the case demands. Then there is the
army corps Of pages-from fifteen to
twenty-while three pages I'M each
house are all that can conyiently be
made use of. One each for the presi-
dent and the speaker, and four to wait
on the members.
AS to the number Of committee clerks
that can be explained by the confess
sion made by the honorable members
themselves. When demonstrated with
they freely say to you, 1--WE have got
to make provisions for some Of our
constituents if we expect to hold our
job"
The writer has heard the confession
repeatedly To illustrate how commit
tee clerks are needed. In the Twenty
sixth general assembly a member from
the southern portion of the state had
promised a widowed lady that in case
he got a certain Craftsmanship he would
give her a committee appointment. He
got his committee and. gave her the
appointment. She afterwards wrote
him expressing her doubts as to her
competency to fill the position. In
ansWe ring her letter and among other
things, said: Dear Madam: Have no
fears as regards your competency, for
all you will have to do is to draw your
breath and your salary"
committee clerk for each republic
can member of the senate is an out
rageous misrepresentation of the peo-
pies money.
