The question that has aroused
much interest This year at the c Fl.
s. is that of having rowing regatta
or several on the Ohio next spring,
the boat crews to be selected from
boys in the four classes at school
The consideration is to have the con
test take place between the crews Of
the different classes or to challenge
some outside school. Basket ball is
really the only sport that has been a
success at c. H. S. for the past three
years and this is proved by the long
list OF victories the C. II. S. team
has to its credit in that sport. Why
then couldn't rowing take the part Of
much needed enthusiastic sport
Everything is favorable for such We
have the river light at our vantage.
the weather conditions at spring time
are ideal for such an event, the ma
crial is evident and all it needs is
development The boats could be cas-
lily made in the Mammal Training De-
.partment at very little expense. The
use of the river is free ana no ex-
penses would have to be met. Con
sidering that it would be a novel aud
Jew sport. interest and enthusiasm
would not be lacking The outlook In
eltainly favorable from every stand
loint and definite plans are in order

and no longer may the droves Of the

poll and voted at SO much per head as
has been the custom heretofore in
heated contests.
That so few votes were cast against
the proposition shows the practically
unanimous desire of the people for
better COVE nment in the city and is
compliment to the men who were
prominent in the movement, chief
among whom was Judge John NJ.
Lansden, and w. b. Huette, president
of the Pure Ballot League
There is cause also for much hear,
ty congratulation to the people Of Cal
no and Alexander county. because OF
the reelection of DR.. Cause as county
commissioner over Arthur T. Sans.
That a hard fight was made for the
latter is evident from the returns and
it seems that the opponents Of good
government centered all their energy
upon him caring little how the eiec-
ton law went if they could elect him,
Sans stood for the most vicious and
dangerous things that curse and
threaten to destroy society and gov
ernment--the corruption of the ma
fchinery of or courts, paralyz!ng
its processes in order that Grim
inals may go free. And it is significant
that he had as his most energetic
workers Sheriff Davis deputies and
Mayor Parsons police force.
Although Sans was defeated by
decisive majority both in the city
and county, he would have been beat
en- by an overwhelming majority ha'
a fuller vote been poled and had tht
Democratic candidate remained in thu
field The Democrats had no candl
date of their owon for commissions
and although laseg majority of then
did not vote at all, most OF those WA'
voted marked their ballots for Sans
not because they loved him but mor'
because they loved less the RepublI
can party and its nominee.

THE PEOPLES VICTORY

jefferson Bee: Iowa ship ers will
iaally get justice. after twenty years
of abuse. in the matter of Interstate
freight rates. Last week the Inter-
State Commerce Commission ruled
Shat railways must charge an Inter-
state rate all the way from the out
side point to the Iowa destination, and
not break the rate at the rivers. and
add the local Iowa distance tariff to
the Inter state rate figured to the
rivers. twenty-five years ago the
Iowa Legislature enacted a local dis
lance tariff, being pioneer in this
sort of business. In order to deter
other States from doing likewise, the
railroads set about it to make the plan
unpopular, and they did it by break
ing all along distance tariffs at the
Missi ssippi and Missouri. and adding
the local rate thereto. this making
Iowa shippers pay more for a long
haut ttln the people of States having
NO local distance regulation. 1t has
been an outrage which has cost the
people of the State more than the dis
lance tariff has saved them, and it
has retarded the development of the
State in its manufactures. but we have
,pati emily bided our time and now the
hoped for relief has come. A through
Interstate rate will hereafter govern
from and to Iowa points, from and to
all points in the outside world. while
within the State cur local distance
tariffs will regulate local shipments

:ANENI THE HARDING CASE

"a friend of Mr.. Harding, takes ex-
ceptions to the article in the Review
of last week. in which mention is
made. that the attorneys for the prose-
scution in the disbarment proceedings.
had gone to the state of Idaho, to take
deposi lions in support of one of the
char ges presented by thu committee.
The facts mentioned. are qles Toned
as not being true. Evidently, the
party making the criticism. must have
misunderstood the authority for the
statement. The Review made no asser-
tion on own authority, but simply
copied portion of the ch9rses. made
against Mr.. Harding, and1the articieI
.-on it's face shows. that What was said
was quotation from one -ef the
charges in the disbarment proceedings.
The paper made no assertion Of fact
xnl,ateyer i4.--a-..-. and did
not profess to know what the facts
were. and is not now in possession of
the facts, as they will probably be
developed on the trial. 1t is claimed
in defense, and is probably true, that
a portion of the land involved in this
charge, came to Mr.. Harding, through
the D. o. johnson estate. and as to
that portion of the land. no question
scaa arise, as to the correctness of the
title of Mr.. Harding It is further
claimed in defense. that Mr.. Squibbs.
before his death. parted with the ii lie
to all of the real estate in controversy,
and that Mr.. HARDING acquired title
from his son, his grantee. We ito
not undertake to say. what tie facts
m ayte in this regard. nor to express
an opinion as to the law governing the
case. but mention whac-is asserted to
be . portion of the facts 10 the case.
The Review has no prejudice in this
case and has not had at any time, and
hopes no injustice will be done to any
ono, but reserves the right to report
for the benefit of IFS readers. the pro-
gress of the case from time to time.

A DISTANCE COVERING MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND
 MILES SHAKEN.
A ARE KNOWN ID BE KILLED
Partially Destroyed-Many Build ines Collapsed, Walls Were
 leveIed and Cracked.

Mexico City, MeXito.-Central Mexico from the Atlantic to the Paci- fic and from Querato on the north to Oaxaca, on the south, distance GOV ering more than one thousand square miles, was shaken by a series of the most severe earthquake shocks felt in the region for quarter of cen tury. Reports of the loss of life are not complete, but the official figures show that fourteen were killed out right and more than a score mortally injured. The towns of Acapulco and Chilpancingo. in the state of Guerrero have been partially destroyed.
 According to the observatory rec ords. the first shock of the series was felt at 4:15 in the morning, the rock ing oscillation being from east to southwest. It was very severe. caus- ing the bells of the many cathedrals of this city to toll, breaking crockery and in some instances leveling walls. The people had hardly recovered from the first fright when a second more severe shock caused an outpouring of nearly everybody to the streets and plazas. This movement was of tripodory and oscillatory character lasted with marked severity for one minute and thirty-seconds. The tall buildings of the city swayed and in some instances cracked, the pave ment opened in places and in the poorer sections of the city number of houses collapsed

 Many of the men in the party are under age and for this reason their sailing was delayed. It is believed, however. that the matter will be strengthened out with little difficulty and the party proceed to Honolulu.
 Strong opposition to the departure of native laborcrs to Hawaii has been manifested everywhere throughout the Philippine group since the agents of the sugar planters began the en- listment of men to take the places of the Japanese on the plantation.
