COLUMBUS VENTURE GOOD
A. A. Club Has Made Mon
ey Everything Considered


There was goodly sized rumor
afloat To-Day In baseball. circles that
w. II. Armour president of the To-
ledo club, is casting his eyes toward
the Ohio State league and might take
franchise in the league to take
care of and develope his young play
crs.
The Columbus club has been sue
cessful with its Lima farm. The Lima
team as far as gate receipts were
concerned did not pay expenses. In
fact Columbus has dropped about 49,
900 there i'm the two years and expects
TO lose some more. But numerous
players have been ripened There is
Tom Kaler, the big pitcher i'm whom
Bob Quinn places great hopes. Kaler
Is regarded as n great find and the
Columbus management feels amply
repaid for the financial loss in the de-
velopment of Kaler. Then Charles
Pickett was disposed of for $1,000. A.
Reilly, Sykes, Fink and others sold
for tidy sums and Columbus is really
on the right side of the ledger as
Kaler. making good, would be worth
several thousands. Then Columbus has
plenty of talent 10 fall back on in
times of need.
Armour has seen the advantage
gained by Columbus with it's farm
and is seriously considering the advis-
ability of placing a team i'm the clas-
sy little league.
And on the leagues part the mag.
mates would be glad to grant a fran
chise to Bill Armour providing he
would locate i'm either Mansfield or
Newark Mansfield has been anxious
TO get away from the Ohio State and
therefore it is expected that Armour
will be told to put a team i'm there
if he desires farm. Bill has plenty
of talent on hand to insure a winning
team something that Mansfield has
not had and should therefore appre-
ciate.

Cannon's Defeat.

Speaker Cannon Is now getting what
for a long time has been coming to
him. He has been arbitrary with the
House of Representatives sttch an
extent and for SO long that he has be-
come a tyrant. He became so bold
that whenever it suited him he throt
tied the will OF the representatives OF
the people assembled in the House Of
Representatives. People have come TO
believe that he used his power in be
half of 1.-The interests" This feeling
became so widespread that the con-
stituents of many Republican CON
gressmen.- eape nially- In the Middle
West, warned their representatives that
support of Cannon would no longer he
tolerated. Cannonism has become an
issue. II has come about that many
Republican congressman must oppose
Cannon In order to save themselves
This means the destruction of the des-
potic powers of the speaker.
1t Is true of every deliheratiye body
and especially so of large bodies. that
rules must be strictly enforced. Some
times parliamentary situations arise ii
dealing with which the speaker must
be more or less peremptory. but these
occasions do not arise frequently, and
when they do arise the House under

upon the speaker for doing that which
Is necessary to be done In order tC
transact business.

ever, permanently tolerate an habitua

The Race Problem" i'm Richmond,

Several days ago IT was noted in this paper that
the members of the Westmoreland Club attended
the funeral OF Nathan Moore, colored who for 80
years had been the Clubs doorkeeper, and paid an
afiectionate tribute to his memory. 1t is equally
gratifying to record the fact that colored citizens OF
Richmond have presented Judge Saml. B. Witt OF
the Hastings Court with silver service in token of
their appreciation of Judge Wits consideration
for the negro
1t is in spirit of ocular brag that we claim for
Richmond the best negroes in the world taking thsin
big and large and in city OF the South the color
ed citizens prosperous. Nor is that all. There
is no CITY anywhere in which the two races get on
with less friction and with more good feeling. and
yet there is no city in which the line separation is
more sharply drawn
1t would be foolish to say that there is race
problem in Richmond Wherever large bodies OF
white and blacks congregated III the same COM
snunty, there must be problem. In Rich
ond the colored breaking through the bounds
OF Jackson ward and buying property in districts
hitherto occupied exclusively by whites That is
q problem in itself and is a situation that requires
delicate handling. But the thing which are now
emphasizing is that the negroes Of Richmond partake
of the conservatism OF the whites and that each
has friendly regard for the other Hense we be-
lieye that each problem in this community viii
be taken up as il arises and solved without clash
1t must be bit disconcerting to some OF our New
England friends to read of the racial riots in Cairo
Illinois, and OF friendly exchanges between the races
in the Capital of the Confederacy.

Need of Equalization.

Speaking of the defeat of the equal
ization measures before the General
Assembly. the Warrenton Virginian
says
THE want of legislation on this sub
ject has led TO many irregularities.
For example, the Legislature OF two
years ago passed an act making the
lowest rate of taxation for district
school purposes about eight cents on
the hundred dollars worth of property.
This rate of taxation in most of the
districts In this county. where the as
sessInents are high, raises more than
needed for ordinary purposes, though
occasionally 1T could be expended i'll
the construction OF school houses, but
such a rate to be levied year after year
would pile up dangerous surplus In
the treasury of this county in at least
four out of Ave county districts, while
in the county of Prince Edward. for
example. where the assessments are
low. eight cents, and perhaps thirty
cents, of assessment on the hundred
dollars does not raise enough revenue
for practical purposes.
THE insistance on the enforcement
of an ineauitable law. which leaves
| the assessment at the discretion OF the
localities and the tax rate according To
a State wide law, furnishes abundant
reason. II there was none other, Tor

Reform Manfe,I.

Some day North Carolina may be
doing what is now allowed in Mas
sachusetts. Owing to what was re-
garded as excessive charges FIR life
insurance by private companies. the
Legislature of Massachusetts n year
ago passed nm act authorizing savings
banks to issue life, endowment and
annuity policies at cost. The law is
said to have worked well and giyen
satisfaction. Two banks collectively
have issued over $500 policies, with
total life insurance of about $1,000
600, and the premium rates charged
f4Heh-fess than those Of private
Insurance. companies The banks
availing themselves of the right to
Issue insurance policies have found
II "a great help to their savings busi-
ness. The Peoples Savings Bank of
Brockton has gained a thousand new
depositors in twelve months in this
way. Another result OF the law is
that 1t has brought a general reduc-
ton in insurance rates, to the extent
of about 90 per cent. 1t Is estimated
that this reduction will save policy
holders in the State over 81 goo. 900
yearly In cost of premiums.-Winston

The First Electrocution.

The story of North Carolinas first
electrocution at Raleigh yesterday has
quite a dramatic turn. in that the vic
tim. negro charged with a serious
crime, called alternately on God and
man for mercy. The dispatch says
that the Negroes face was distorted
with agonized fear.
That it Is a decided Improvement
over the barbaric method OF hang
ing few with deny, and that 1t is mer-
ciful in its operation Is also true. But
If the death penalty must be inflicted,
would not the ends OF justice be sat
tsfactorily attained IL the condemned
criminal did not know the day and
hour of bis death. Cyanide of po-
tassium or prussic acid are poisons
that work swiftly and painlessly.
Either OF these placed in the pris-
oner's food without his knowledge
would ''be sufficient grounds for re-
movai." The sudden and mysterious
disappearance of the laws victim
would have all the exemplary effect
that such fates had in ages that have
passed. II there Is anything that
awes q negro, it Is that which is
mysterious and inexplicable. and the
methods of death which we have de-
scribed would have greater restrain
ing influence on intending criminals
than any form OF punishment now in
vogue.--Asheville Citizen.
