LIBERALS FUTURE.

In the petitions for aid which come
from Liberia an dto which our govern
ment is apparently little disposed to
respond, one of the chief plants is as to
the danger of the absorption of the At
rican republic by France and Great
Britain. Is this really a danger? Would
Liberia, now bankrupt and suffering
from industrial paralysis, have any
thing to lose by being taken under the
wing of either or both of those progress
sive nations, which have direct inter-
est in African development? Should
this come to pass, it is a question if
Uncle Sam would not feel rather re-
lieved than otherwise. Having no incli-
nation to go to the rescue himself, to
supply Liberia with capital which the
Liberians could not intelligently USE
to saddle himself with the responsible
ity of bolstering up the feeble govern

Ruth Wilson not
To Lose her Eue

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-Ruth
Wilson, young girl, into whose face
vitriol was squirted by a man late yes
terday, probably VIII not lose the sight
of her left eye, or be permanently dis
figured, according to the eye specialist
attending her today. Indications are
that she will only be marked by a scar
on her right cheek.
Police in the cities around the bay
have joined in the search for youth
named Vancamp Redfern, who is ac-
cused by the girls family of being
the vitriol throWer. The boy was a
classmate of Miss Wilson in high
school and it is said has been madly
infatuated with her. For long time
he had sent her incoherent love letters.

or more of persons did not go to Jail or
lose their heads for having incurred the

monstrous.
1t is but natural that the deposed sui
tan should see in others the qualities
which he himself possesses. To him
all men are tyrants, and all are con-
Stantly planning torture and death for
him. He is living in daily terror of as

for help at the sight of his little son,
Abdur Rahlm, with a toy pistol in his
hand. A passing ship is a source Of
great CONSERVATION in his breast, por-

system in the neighborhood where he is
isolated is to him a sign of plot to
flood his house with water and thus
accomplish his death

Walla Wdlld Will
Get in the League

Manager August Babe, of the Walla
Walla Independents, today received
letter from James E. Edminston, of
the Yakima Valley league, stating that
the app ication for admittance into the
league will be considered at a meeting
of the governing board the latter part
of this week. The organization is
now composed of Pasco, KenneWick,
Toppenish and North Yakima, and a
movement is on foot to make it a six
club league.
The schedule calls for 80 Sunday
games, the home team keeping the
gate receipts. All expenses, such as
railroad fare, umpires, etc, are to be
pooled and each club pay it's share.
The Yakima Valley league will not be
under the direction of the National
association.
Fans in this city are encouraged by
the reply from Yakima, and believe
this city now has an excellent chance
for breaking into the league. Definite
announcement can be made Saturday
or Sunday

TREATY RIGHTS.
tennplated

The rights of Americans here and
abroad are supposed to be protected by
treaties. President Taft, discussing in
ternational arbitration, the other night,
argued earnestly in favor of strict en-
forcement of treaty obligations. 1t is
defective treaty that does not work
both ways and if the United tSates
cannot compel full recognition of in
ternational agreements at home as
well as abroad, the instrument becomes
valueless and leaves our government
in a ridiculous position, besides leading
to absurd rumors of war.
In order to maintain the agreements
in a treaty it is essential that state au-
thorities shall not attempt to interfere.
Most. of our violations of treaties arise
from insignificant local controversies
in states The case of a Japanese or
Chinaman maltreated in California
does not call for action by the state
if treaty obligations are in question.
The federal government, as President
Taft contends, should have more power
to keep and maintain all the provisions
of treaties. Then when international
questions require a decision by the ma
tional government arise, local state af-
fairs would not be ollowed to compli-
aata tbo cituatiOp and oauSe unneceS-
sary annoyance and public alarm.

settling this vexed question of giving
the boy who needs to make money and
can do it on professional baseball mines
an opportunity to do this and yet not
deprive him of the privilege of playing
during the academic season On the

to correct the evils resulting from the
temptation to conceal professionalism
on the part of our college baseball
players. One feature that complexities
the situation is the fact that two or
three colleges and universities in a re-

rules. The rivalry between institutions
and the desire for victory are sO
strong in many cases that it all leads
to many infractions of the rules of am
ateurism, which have a serious result
on the morals of the student bodies OF
the competing institutions.
Probably within the next year or two
methods will be established. which
will conserve the rights of all, meet
with public appreciation, and preserve
principles of amateurism in college
sports.
