! Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE

looked forward to with no small de-

by training and a judge by instinct,
they say, and it is known to be re-
pugnant to proper judicial procedure
to try a cause in November that has
been d0cketed for December. A
}strong intimation has been given your
correspondent that the President has
been doing some thinking, and that
his thinking will soon crystalline into

The Kansas City Star
Burns the News Brand

Some of the riders of the Kansas
City Star uutfit, roped little local
sketch recently published in the
News (the killing of old two toes),
trimmed its ears, burned the brand,
and in the issue of August>srd, threw
it out on the range carrying their
brand. 1t had but little value or
merit except locally, but when 1t
reached the Kansas City market 1t
should have been reported to the IN
spectors and registered as under
the News brand, at least that would
have been the gentlemanly thing to
do, and according to the rules of
the game.

The Honest Men Are Not All
In One Party

The Herald is a Republican
paper and will continue to be,
but It is old enough to have learn
ed that man can be honest and
a gobd citizen, even if he is a
Democrat. Only callous, pin
headed editors these pays resort
10 personal abuse and vill16cation
OF. good citizens semply because
they differ with them in politics.
Garden City Herald.
Such is the opinion of the Gar
den City Herald, with which the
News fully agrees and further
know that all the patriots are not
to be found in either party. AS
developed by the recent tariff
discussion, and the action so far
taken on that proposed legisla-
ton, it does not seem to make
any particular dinerence what
party brand is on congressman
so far as influencing him in the
bunch with which he grazes' and
paws up the earth, after he gets
to Washington. The bestscourse
for the voter is to note carefully
the action of the officers for
whom he voted or against whom
he voted, and at the first oppor-
tunity support the man who has
stood fearlessly with the masses
of the people, as against the class
who seek constantly for special
privileges.

Methodist Notes

The Epworth League social
at the parsonage last Thursday
night was well attended and all
seemed to enjoy the occasion.
Ice cream<and cake were served
and a nice sum netted for the
League treasury.
The Sunday school attendance
fell off a little from the previous
week, there being "a present.
We should try to keep up to high
water mark, and Still increase if
possible. We need more of the
grown people at the school.
Rev. DR.. Richards gave a most
interesting address on Africa
SUNDAY night. He has been on
the east coast at Inham bane for
thirty years and has more than
1000 members, with sixty native
preachers, Until recently he
has been the only white man in
the mission. He has created a
written language for them and
translated the entire Bible into
that language. He is now having
it printed by the American Bible
Society and they do it without
cost to his work. DR.. Richards
is great man and has a large
view of South Africa and it's pos
sibilities both for the white and
black races. The Bible has abo-
lished the slave traffic and tri-
bal butcheries and warfare
among the natives. The Dr.. is
even more interesting and in
structive in private conversation
than in, public address. It is a
rare privilege to spend day
with him and hear of his -exper-
fences.

Boston Bloomers 2. Meade o

In by far the prettiest game of the
season, the Boston Bfoomer Girls
defeated Meade by the above score.
This game was revelation to many
people, as well as a novel one, as
many thought girls couldn't play
ball. But the fact remains that this
Blootaer team, consisting of six
girls and three men, played the
hardest and most scientific game
ever seen on the Meade diamond.
Miss Ruth Agen, at first base and
Miss Donley, at short played bril-.
liant ball. The game started with
both teams fielding hard hit balls
with ease In fact the entire game
was marked by the absence of errors
both teams making but three.
Merkle and Sweet were the appos
ing pitchers and both men twirled
good ball, the Bloomers got 3 safe
hits off Sweets delivery and Meade
got 1 off Merkles's. The strong
mind kept the hitting down mater
tally. Incidentally it might be re-
marked that Merkle is perhaps the
0est twirler Meade ever saw. He
IS from the Denver Western League
team. The features were the first
base playing by Ruth Agen, and the
general fast fielding of both mines
1t is to be hoped the Bloomers will
come again next summer. Follow
ing is score by innings and sum-
mary.
