SPEAK FOR AND AGAINST
MUNICIPAL DOCK BONDS

Mayor Fawcett presided at the
mass meeting held in the city
council chamber last evening to
discuss the bond issues to be vot-
ed upon tomorrow. Addresses in
favor of all the bond issues were
made by E. r. Rogers, John F.
Means, city controller; c. H. Grin
nell, rank R. Baker, assistant city
attorney: A. r. Titlow, Walter J.
Thompson and Clarence Parker
Frank B. Cole, Charles Spinning,
l.. r. Coombs, l.. w. Pratt and
Thomas Horn spoke in opposition
to a part or all of the proposed
bond issues.
l.. w. Pratt favored the bridges
and firetug, but opposed the mu-
nicipal dock, holding that the city
could compel the Northern Pacific
to build a passenger dock where
most needed, thereby saving the
city from entering the dock bust
ness.
Frank r. Baker stated that Ia
coma's net legal Indebtedness is
little under $4,600,000. After
issuing the bonds to be voted on
Saturday, the city will still have
margin of $4,000 before
reaching the limit of indebted
ness.
Mr.. Baker showed the legal
status of the much discussed ar
rangement whereby the Northern
Pacific is to be relieved from
building a viaduct across Pacific
avenue to the Flyer dock. The
settlement ordinance with the
Northern Pacific provides for a
steel viaduet at Fifteenth street.
Members of the old council say
that at sometime during the two
years negotiations for the new
depot an agreement was reached
that a steel viaduct was to be
built to the Flyer dock.
A. r. Titlow made a splendid
address, urging the voting of all
the bonds and the building here
of greater Tacoma. Said he:
"Show me the man who oppos-
ed the city hall, the court house,
the Eleventh street bridge, the

The manager who had discharged
him was himself discharged and
Leidy was made head of the Au-
gusta team.
Got Cobb Back.
Immediately Leidy set about to
get Cobb back on the team. He
sent Ty number of messages and
finally induced him to return.
Cobb came to Leidy and his ca
reer really started when he join
ed Leidy's club.
At that time Cobb knew little
about fielding. lie could hit a
ball and he had more speed than
Leidy ever saw in a man, but he
did not know how to use it; Leidy
showed him how.
Dreams Come True.
Cobb dreamed of drawing ap-
plause from those thousands, liv-
ing in those hotels and seeing the
sights of those large cities. In
order to realize the dream he
brought into use the qualities he
had. Cobbs dream, which Leidy
constantly fed, came true.

Ten rounds OF fierce boxing in
which a lighter but cleverer man
Withstood the onslaughts of his
big opponent ended with a draw
at Germsnia hall last night. Jack
Tippets. the lightweight, put up
a game fight with Jack Lester, al
though he was knocked fiat sew
eral times by his mighty adver-
sary. He succeeded in keeping
the blows from vital spots by
clever lodging and guarding and
had he had enough steam would
have landed a knockout punch
himself.

SENTIMENT GROWS
AGAINST HUNTING
DEER WITH DOGS

IL public sentiment cuts any
figure the coming Legislature will
pass a law prohibiting chasing
deer with dogs in Washington.
The practice is rapidly driving
all the deer out of the state. Deer
chased to death is not good meat
anyway, hunters say, and the true
sportsmen are discarding the
chase.
The best catch of deer this
year was made by Frank Crosby
and Ben Longmire without any
dog chasing at all, proving that
1t is not necessary anyway to
hound the deer to get them. They
brought down five from the side
of Mount Tacoma.

A D~ELIGHTsONE PROSPECT.

We trust that the eloquence of Giles Jackson
Will vent itself most convincingIy on the occasion

to Virginia upon the occasion of the meet
ing of the coIorcd State Fair. There would be
no poilncs III the event,-or politics of a very IN
direct character, and We are certain that the
Colored Fair would enjoy the Colonel, and that
the Colonel would be ticklcd TO death with the
Colored Fair. There Is in this invitation lust
that sauce of spectacular democracy which should
appeal 10 Mr.. Roosevelt. The distance is short,
the time propitious. The Ten Commandments
are still outstanding and by the time the Fair
meets the time will be ripe for them to be again
announced. We feel hopeful over Giles Jack
sons quest. We wish him success, and loads of

REVERSE RACE PREJTDICE.

There Is evidently more than one brand Of
'race prejudice. During the entire period of
the recent Gettysburg encampment il was evl-
dent that the troubles between certain white and
black soldiers were made the occasion of a will
ingness on the part Of the higher officers to at
front white troops. This was emphasized when
a negro trooper, having drawn a pistol upon a
white officer, was held for trial by q summary
or petty military court. The charge against him
was one of the gravest known to the military
code--a crime the punishment for which is
death-and it was committed under what were
supposed to be service conditions. To treat such
4 charge as a mere misdemeanor, punishable only
by a light sentence, was under the circumstances
~ offer a gratuitous insult to an officer and Il
gentleman. When Governor Mann protested,
it was thought that the intent of such an in
justice had been defeated. The news now that
not only was the rccalcitrant trooper tried by the
summary court, but tried without notice and
without hearing the testimony makes suspicion a
certainty. General Wotherspoon has simply
taken the side Of the negro, accepted such plea
Ms he desired to offer and, by doing so, has de-
hberately and with malice prepcnse insulted the
whole body OF troops from this State, which
participated in the manoeuvres.
ne result can only DC tnaG slrTlula troops
will no longer participate in such encampments.
The National Guard of the State will be neces-
sarily denied tho privilege of instruction under
conditions approximating those of war. This
is a regrettable outcome, but the only outcome
possible under the circumstances. 1t is not a
question of negro troops, though it would seem
that the Federal authorities might have had the
tact not to impose colored soldiers upon white
ones from a State where such action would
necessarily mean friction. 1t is a question
deeper than that, an indication that Federal
officers, not i'll sympathy with Southern stand
ards, In their determination to give the negro
fair treatment treat the white man unfairly.
BY his action throughout this entire matter Gen
eral Wotherspoon has shown a purpose to insult
not only the officer involved, but to relax disci-
pine and to protect the guilty for reasons Of
personal prejudice. No good, as we see it, can
come from further attack on Wotherspoon or
further agitation of an entirely unfortunate in
cident. Virginia troops must simply be protect
ed IN the only way apparently open to them, and
that Is by non-participation in encampments at
which their rights will be fouted, and where they
will be gratuitously insulted.

ACTION THE NEED.

The Thursday night meeting of Council IL
illustrates practically the pressing need for some
reform IN the method of accomplishing city bust
ness. The docket was a large and voluminous
one. A dozen important matters pressed for de
cision. What was the result? Council met and
stwiddled its thumbs for a quorum. An honr
went by. The docket waited. 1t stills waits. So
long as there shall remain the present clumsy and
ainwieldly machinery for transacting city bust
mess, it will continue TO wait-and To grow. Pro
crastination has the city in its enervating grip.
The lumber must be cleared away. Response
lilifies must be established. 1t is necessary and
becoming every day more imperative that action
be taken looking to action.
There has been pending for some time a pro-
Fposition IN the formative stage by which the ma
chinery Of city government would be simplifed
and bettered. II might be we'll to stop any effort
sto do anything before doing this. The Council
kls admittedly cumbersome In the necessary
s1Hterim between the substitution of present anti
sAnated methods for some wise and comprehensive
system of city government Council owes itself
The duty 10 reform itself.
In one city duty, it is gratifying to note that
there Ii no delay. Greater Richmond is fulfilling
tits obligations toward Washington Ward. The
people of Manchester who voted for annexation
are being justified in their action. On every
count this spirit is a commendable one. 1t means
"A greater Richmond In fact as we'll as in name.
x1f spells justice and consideration. As the growth
sef such 4 policy the time will speedily come when
there viii be only one great and thriving city
On the two sides of the James, as there is now
only one in fact.
