USEFUL SPORT.

Whenever anyone gets hurt or
Killed in football game a mighty
protest goes up from all over the
Land condemning the sport for it's
brutality. Not exactly analogous, but
.at least in the same general direc-
ton. We might condemn railroads.
flying machines, automobiles and
other adjuncts of civilization on the
ground that they kill people. Foot
ball not only develops the body.
making it strong and husky. but il
gives control and alertness of mind.
These are very clearly pointed out
by the Baltimore Sun. which says:
There is no doubt that football is
has more than dash of danger in
il. But, after all, il has its uses, and
possibly they will outweigh it's dan
gers in the long run. IL is for the
al I,
though there occasionally creeps into
lineup some coward who takes
advantages of the opportunity offered
to wreak personal spite or to gain
victory by dirty work The game it.
self teaches young men in the first
place, the necessity for taking care
OF themselves physically. 1t teaches
them that moderation is eating and
drinking is of the highest value in
putting athletes in condition and
keeping them there, and it is thus
useful in forming their habits of life.
Then it teaches them on the field that
instant, unhesitating obedience to
command is absolutely necessary to
success, that they must not stop to
question the ACCESSIBILITY or argue the
expediency or movement decided up
on by the leader, but that they must
instantly obey. II teaches self-com-
mand also, the keeping of oneself
each moment under full control, phys
ically and mentally, so that to hear
an order is to comprehend it and put
it into action at the same time. In
other words, absolute mental and ply
steal control must meet in one person
TO make up the successful player. It..
therefore, teaches alertness of both
mind and body. Concentration of
mind and purpose are also among the
requisites, for TO allow the mind to
wander for an instant may easily lose
a contest that would otherwise BE-
won.

end, it is proposed to form an organi
zation to be known as The Tree
Planters of America. II is designed
TO push the movement largely
through the cooperation of farmers
institutes, unions, societies and Sta, c
and local associations.
Once the organization is effected
with State, county and township
groups it would be expected to bring
about systematic tree planting in
profitless pastures, hooks ravines /;
on useless or wornout spots or partly
denuded forest acres on the farm and
in every place where the soil is not
yielding reasonable contribution to
the general welfare. These forestry
enterprises would be visited from
time to time by experts from the
United States forest service and
there would be systematic effort
through these visits and by publica.
tons, to instruct the Tree Planters
in all the branches of scientific tree
planting and culture.
This Is good plan for inducing
general interest in the subject of
forest preservation and perpetuat.on.
1t is really an elaboration of the
Arbor Day which is observed by the
children of the public schools. 1t is
a better plan, of course, for ii carried
out as its promoters suggest every
day would be Arbor day and the
ultimate results would be Il. future
timber supply which by proper methy
DDS of conservation might be main
tanned indefinitely
There can be no enduring foresta
ton movement without the coopera
ton of the youth of the country. The
boys of today are TO be the future
directors Of the destiny of the nationI
Unless they and their succeeding
generations can be induced TO enlist
in the work of conservation that
work is certain to fail. The sugges-
ton of the Business League OF Amer
lea is sensible and practical BY all
means let the league proceed with
the organization Of its Tree Planters.

NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES

There is a sentiment TO be found
among certain class of business
men that as long as their business is
being conducted at a profit there is
no use to advertise. The advertis

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER.

The Mcdowell county court is out
in another open letter TO Hon. Rankin
Wiley, the late Democratic candidate
for congress in the fifth district and
Col. l.. +. Tierney, chairman OF the
Democratic county committee. calling
upon them to come forward with the
proof that there was illegal voting at
the last election. and if such can be
established in any precinct it will be
thrown out. Now the coanty court
knows it is talking wild when it is
putting up this line of conversation
The matter has passed out OF its
hands. 1t has already canvassed the
vote OF the county, and in the case
OF contest on account OF illegal vot-
ing it has absolutely nothing 10
with the case.
We do not know the plans OF Mr..
Wiley or Col Tierney, but we do
know that if the charges of illegal
voting and election frauds are to b,
sustained, the contention will not
come before the county court. And
it seems pretty clear that such char
ges can be established with but little
difficulty.
Another matter: While the court is
using up its reserve energy writina
open letters inviting the Democrats
to come forward and prove their
charges, it might also explain why it
failed to appoint Democratic challen.
gers and why the one regularly elect
ed at WEIGH on election day by the
Democrats was arrested and bundled
out of the voting place with absolu
tely no charge preferred

A BASE BALL RULING.
Commission Decides Against Minor
Leagues.

CINCINNATI. January 4.-The national
base ball commission at meeting here
last night denied the request OF the class
C. and D leagues for an amendment OF the
rule concerning the purchase Of minor
league players.
The attention of the commission was
called to the case by J. R. Farrell. secre-
tary of the National Association. who
submitted a resolution offered at the
recent meeting held at Memphis by tho
class C and u leagues. requesting that rule
SO be amended so that minor league play
ers can be purchased by one minor league
club from another without having such
players report to the purchasing club on
or before the beginning of the major
league drafting season.
AS the rule now stands, when minor
league players are purchased by one
minor league club from another and they
do not report by September 1 they are
are with on August 20. The commission
in its ruling says:
I'VE reiterate that il the rule were
changed SO as to cover the request as now
made il would be detrimental not only to
the major league and class CLUBS. put
all players operating under organized
base ball as well.
'.The statement recently issued by the
commission shows the amounts expended
by major league clubs alone during the
last year for drafted and purchased play
ers to be about 100000. and In addition to
this, IL all the players in question are to
be retained. payments amounting to practi-
cally $4,000 additional are made. This
shows that the minor league interests
have been fully protected. The request
of the class c and D leagues is therefore
refused"
