Monette the lanky slabman of the
Orioles and Chief has we'll won
the sobriQuet of the MAN With
the Iron Arm" for when the last
half of the ninth inning of the
second game was played with Sid
ney Sunday, Monette was appar-
emily going at IS round q pace Is
he did when he stepped in the box
at the beginning of the first game.
If the lankey one had been put in
4 little earlier in the second game
there would have been no need for
Willistop to 60 to Sidney next
Sunday for the tie series would
have been decided on the local
grounds. As it was Monette put
the snap into the second game and
from the first ball he put over, the
Orioles made up . gamey up bill
fight for victory.
The game Saturday was called
off in the second inning when first
baseman Jack Leach was hit in
the head by a pitched ball while at
bat and the blow crumped him up
on the home plate like he had been
hit by a catapult. He was taken
to the Williston hospital and the
game called off for that day.

WINS THE PRIZE
FOR BEST DESIGN
oNONA YOUNG CARRIES OFF $500
REWARD OFFERED BY WlLuS10N
LAND COMPANY OF CITY

To Miss Onona Young goes the
honor of submitting the best offer.
ing for Greater Williston design
offered by the Williston Land
Company through the Commercial
Club and the prize of twenty-five
dollars is hers together with the
credit of being the best out OF
nearly one hundred and fifty
offerings.
Miss Young drew on that gem
of Oriental literature The Arabian
Nights for the idea and with it as
the ground work for her drawing,
worked out a scheme of adoption
to Twentiety Century progress.
The thought in the design is to
indicate the remarkable growth of
Williston; Aladdin rubbed his
magic lamp and the genie appeared
carrying the wonderful city. The
centerpiece carries the caption
''WiIliston the Wonderful, 1905
1000, 1910 5000.
Behind this appears the genie
with the city in miniature in his
arms and floating over the city Of
the future with its buildings and
smoke belching factories with the
broad Missouri rolling in the back
ground through its palisade of
bills.
On the right Of the main design
is the entry way to a Ignite miIe,
with its accompanying car, track
age and opening. On the left the
representation is of q field of grain.
Miss Young's work displays an
excellent taste in artistic ability
together with the ingenuity with
which the thought is worked out.
The commission of award H. l..
Weatherwax, M. j. Borden and
N. Hayes made their decision Tues
day after ! painstaking weighing
of the merits of the different de-
signs submitted.

MR.. TAFT,S NEW TARIFF COURSE.

TTO RESIDENT TAFTS proposed reciprocal agreement with Can
ada is arousing conflicting emotions. 1t is winning present
praise from the consumer, but from the affected interests
come loud protests. For the first time since his election Mr.. Taft has
offended the special interests, but not all of them, since the con
oessions by Canada enlarge the market for American steel products,
ia largely controlled by trusts. When he signed the Payne-Aldrich
bill Mr.. Taft Disseminated against the consumer, in favor of the
banded producers. He helped to rob the salaried people and the
wageearners to enrich the few who controlled the food supplies of
the country. In the proposed agreement with Canada partial atone
1ent is made for that act. The agreement favors the consumer
and. to some extentSthe manufacturer. Its approval by Congress
will bring relief, but not enough. 1t is to be sanctioned by law,
not treaty. The reason given for this course is that a treaty is
quickly agreed upon, but slowly ratified. A storm of protest is
arising in Washington. The ratification of the agreement is GER
tain to be stubbornly opposed. There will be delays, and an extra
session of Congress may be needed TO consummate the matter
Meanwhile the attention of the public is diverted from the iniquities
of the PayneAldrch law. The demand for an immediate down
ward revision of the tariff Will temporarily subside, in the face of
what seems an earnest effort at relief. But the fact should not be
lost sight of that the proposed reciprocity agreement will not cure
all the evils of the Payne Aldrich law. A comprehensive down
ward revision of the tariff can alone accomplish that reform. Let
the markets of supply be enlarged. Let the proposed Canadian
agreement be approved, but let it not interfere with the solemn
duty of SO dealing with the present tariff as to bring prompt and
needed relief to the people, at the present session of Congress, if it
cen be done; at a special session, If necessary.

THE ELECTION FRAUDS IN SOUTH JERSEY.

cTTa HE tradition so long cherished in New Jersey politics that all
the fraud and corruption in the State was concentrated in
the county of Hudson is rudely shocked by recent develop
nents in South Jersey. 1t was from South Jersey that there
came the loudest accusations of monumental balotbox frauds in
Hudson county. In the State elections in 1889 there was baHotbox
stunng in that county, but the sequel to it was a parade of more
than a score Of election officers and Others to the penitentiary
and state prison. That was a pretty fair atonement for the crimes
committed. Now, in point of fact, Hudson county was not the
only sinner in that election, and there were uninvestigated and
uuatoped frauds in South Jersey and in other counties, not ex
cepting Essex. In the last State election Hudson gave a Demo
cratic majority of $4,000, beating all former records, but there.
was no charge that a fraudulent vote was cast. There are very
serious charges in counties of South Jersey, comprising the first
and second Congressional districts, and grand iuries in two coun-
ties are sitting these charges. The boot is on the other leg of the
State this time. Now, the conditions revealed are not due to a
sudden lapse of virtue in South Jersey politics. The revelations
show that the conditions have been long existing and that the
operators are well trained by experience. The truth is that in
amy community where the laws are laxly enforced Or the people
are Indifferent frauds and corruption in politics are inevitable.
The community itself is delinquent.

Is a mistake and should be rectifed
Immediately. Guided by experience |
am confident that you will. publish this
letter in the Evening STAR and bring
the matter to the attention of the
proper authorities.
1t is easy for anyone to see what
damage may be don by so many City
Hospital horns" An instance of this
was plainly shown recently on Maiden
lane, which everybody knows is hardly
! wide enough to allow one ~good-sized
wagon to navigate. The City Hos
pital ambulance had a call there and
the chauffeur was lucky to find the
lane unoccupied when he arrived But
when the patient had been placed in
the ambulance and the chauffeur tried
to work his way to Halsey street he
was blocked by a coal truck. The horn
began working, but it had no effect on
the driver of the coal cart. He let his
horses plod along at a snails pace. The
ambulance looked at the pa
tient and leaned from the back of the
vehicle to plead with the coal man
Entreating, reasoning and threats were
tried, but to no avail, the coal a

After ten minutes of this the am
bulance surgeon managed to squeeze
alongside of the coal driver. In a few

terse words the coal man, learned some
professional opinion concerning his
Uranium. The snappy words of the
doctor had nothing 20 do with that
man beating his horses almost unmer-
eifully to get them out of the way. He
was telling the truth when he said he
had been fooled too often, and | did
not blame him in the least. He apollo
gized a hundred times for his slow
ness, but the ambulance chauffeur and
surgeon, who were responsible for tho
life of the patient. did not give him
n more than a vicious look as they
whirled around into Halsey street.
Any sensible person can readily see
what those ten minutes might have
meant. We cannot be sure that the
sixth of an hour thus wasted did not
cost the life of the patient. M the
same circumstances are liable to occur
at any time.
Give the City Hospital ambulanoes
sirens of their own, and make 1t a
violation of a city ordinance for a
private individual to use a horn which
could be mistaken for one of them,
That would be a solution to the ex-
listing trouble, I think. VIII the read
ers of the Evening STAR give their
opinions on this subject? Publicity
will work the change, and the Evening
STAR will take UP any fight that is
Just, We must have special horns for
the City Hospital ambulances.

H DISGRACE OF REAR.ADMRAL BARRY.

6fS He enforced resignation of Rear-Admiral Edward b. Barry,
I'll OF the navy, who was recently commander of the Pacific
feet, is the solitary incident of the kind in the annals of
fhe American navy, The particular reason for the disgrace of
this thirtyyear veteran of the navy will not be publicly made
Known. That there are good and valid reasons is evident in the
fact that the former admiral makes no defense. For him there
- no retirement with rank and pay. He is wiped right off the
navy list and ne is now no more identified with the navy than the
man on the street. What Barry did to unite all the officers of his
feet against him and TO bring down upon him from the govern.
ment a punishment SO severe can reflect no discredit upon the
navy Barry is merely an individual and for his moral conduct
he alone is responsible. Sir Charles Dixie, who has Just died in
England, was one of the most brilliant men in British politics
aud would have been the British premier, but he fell under the
same moral ban and never recovered from it, The SHINING of
Dixie was his own, and nobody sought to use it for the discredit
of the rank or class to which he belonged.

THE AEROPLANE AS A SEA-BLRD.

TN UNEXPECTEDLY, Glenn Fl. Curtiss, the aeronaut, solved
u the most important problem in the use of the aeroplane
for naval purposes. He arose from the surface of the
water, few two miles and then aighted on the water like a sea-
bird. 1t has been assumed that this could not be done, that the
aeropane, in making it's start into the air. must get it's initial
velocity on a firm platform. The performance by Curtiss shows
that aeropane operations at sea may eventually be made indie
pendent of the warship, that a fleet of these airships, resting like
gulls on the water, may arise and wing their way for miles to
attack an enemy, even stopping to rest on the water during their
tight. In the present development of the aeroplane wind and
weather are to be considered, but the seagull regards neither
wind nor weather, and it is not unreasonable to believe that the
aeroplane, when at last it is a perfected machine1 will have all
the power and resistance of the sea gull.
