The Third PARTY

The Baltimore Sun thinks that q
party with Roosevelt and Pinchot as
its leaders might soon become a strong
factor in national politics. The Sun
conhdently assumes that such a par
ty' would not make serious inroads
upon the Democratic South" But"
1t goes on, lit might easily draw to
its support a great many Republican
voters in Western States in which Mr.
Roosevelt has large personal follow
ing--States in which his policies were
heartily approved by the Republican
masses. Nor is it improbable that in
some Western States in which the
Democrats are in the minority there
would be Democratic additions to the
new party launched at St. Paul by the
president of the Roosevelt Club. In
all those Eastern States in which
lnere is a Republican revolt against
the policies of the Taft administra-
ton and the works of Cannon and
Aldrich the new party might gain
many recruits from the ranks of the
standpatters. If the organization of a
third party is really in contemplation.
the present leaders of the Republican
party have cause for genuine alarm. ."
true enough, but why does the Sun
confidently assume that a Roosevelt
party built up on such platform as
was outlined at st. Paul would make
no inroads upon the Southern Democ-
racy? Not long ago the Atlanta Con-
stitution proclaimed that Roosevelt
could have Georgia for the asking and
that he would carry Alabama. Ten
nesse and perhaps other Southern
states, if he should come out as a
candidate. And think of the Taft
Democrats in Virginia. Add Bryan to
the combine and the two old parties
would feel like a summer resort i'm
october.
In all seriousness, we can see no
particular reason why Mr.. Roosevelt
should want to get ont Of the Repub-
ican party seeing that he can carry
that party his own way. Ruf IL h.

The First HandcuTs.

In Vergil is to be found the first re-
corded instance OF the use Of hand
cuffs, for the poet tells us that Pro-
teus was thus fettered and rendered
powerless by Aristaeus. who apparent
iy knew that even the gods themselves
were not proof against this form of
persuasion.
IN the fourth century b. G. an army
OF victorious Greeks found several
charlots tuIi of handouts among the
baggage OF the defeated Carthaa ain-
ians, and II is highly probable that the
ancient Egyptians had some CON
trlVance of the kind. The word is
derived from the Anglo-Saxon hand
cop, whence comes evidently the
slang term copper"
In earliest Saxon days "handcops'
were used for mobiles. and foot cons"
Ior kings, but in the fourteenth and
hIteenth centuries the word is sun
planted by the terms shack bolt"

ments were as cumbersome as the
names by which they were known
Up TO the middle of the last cen
tury there were two kinds of hand
cum IN general use. One, known 40

Yesterdays Danville Bee saws:

The prolonged rains of the last
nNe days have been disastrous to the
baseball clubs. especially of this State.
ana what is more to the point, they
nave been particularly disastrous to
the Danville team. To state the facts
plainly, the team is lin hole" finan-
claIly. The presence of the Richmond
team here and the necessity of paying
them the cash guarantee have been
most inopportune for the MANAGE
ment of the Danville team
The situation now is that unless
5000 TO $500 is raised the city must
surrender its team and franchise
with the present emergency i'm the
hnances of the local association met.
there is every prospect of smooth sail
ing Tor the rest of the season. But
the association must have this money
before Monday or il must Quit The
city cannot afford to have this occur.
and. realizing this fact and the adver-
usement and value to the city of a
league team, the Commercial Associa
ton will take hold of the situation
and endeavor to help it meet the
emergency and tide the team over this
crisis
Under these conditions the Com
merclal Association has called meet
ing Tor tomorrow (Friday) evening at
3 o'clock at the association rooms TO
winch every citizen interested in pro-
Vlulng this enjoyable sport for the
city IS invited and urged. There is
every confidence that ways and means
will be provided at this meeting if
the lovers of the sport will rally to
the aid of the men who have been
making sacrifices of their time and
money to afford baseball here.
This is fifth year of the league and
the last of the five-year agreement
under which Danville holds a fran
chise. To surrender that franchise
now Just as the five-year agreement
is expiring would be to throw away
valuable property, whereas to hold
on TO 1t until new agreement has
been made, will make it very valua-
bic. There is no difficulty about Dan
Vile continuing in the league, if it
can finish this season. With the sum
mentioned provided, the Danville
team will need no further financial
aid. 1t has five games in Richmond
o" July 1st. I'd. 4th and 5th. and then
two games here with Richmond.
