Douglas 7, Juneau 6

The second of the series of baseball games between the rival towns on Gas tineau channel was played Sunday at Juneau. Breakiron was in the box for Douglas, but was not in his usual good form and allowed the Cigar Signs five runs. Chambers held them down for the next five innings, only one man crossing the plate, and that was fuke, Nichols curves, which in the past have puzzled the Islanders, have lost their charms, aud after the first few innings
 he was hit freely. However, the game
 was close enough to be interesting, Douglas winning by but one score.

The millionaire accepted the farmers cordial invitation to ride, and with much scram bling gained seat on top of the hay.
 My good man," said the millionaire patronizingly, "this swaying, rolling, sweet scented divan is couch upon which 1 could slumb Der and be irresist- ible to the arms of Morpheus whenever l courted sweep sleep."
 The farmer stiffened: "I'll hear no more of your talk; Pm respectable married man, aud I'll ask you where you're goin', so can avoid the place."
 Dreamily the millionaire smiled q am getting back to Mother Nature, who has been outraged and abused by me for years. 1 am broken man and she will forgive me and bring me back to health"
 The farmer stopped the team and pulled a three-tined pitchfork from the brace socket-but his passenger had gone.

meddling in Mexican politics while on
American territory, and it is believed
here that such a request would be &C
coded to.
A public announcement defining the
attitude of the United States toward
Mexico with reference to keeping
plotters out of mischief and including
a general exposition of Washington S
friendly disposition to the new admin
istration is expected here shortly.
MeXicans look for something which
will tend to allay whatever suspicious
and unpleasant feelings may still be
held by certain classes of Mexicans
against the United States, and all
American officials, President Taft es-
pecially, are anxious to impress upon
Mexicans that the United States is
Mexico's best friend, and that every
thing possible is being done by her
to assist in maintaining the integrity
and dignity of the nation.
Madero's acts since his influence
became dominant and his public dec
laration regarding what his policies
would be have caused very favorable
impression in Washington, accord
ing to reports received here. His re-
fusal to yield to the demands of a
small. radical branch Of the reVolu-
tionists that he dismiss from his cab
met three Of its strongest and most
able members was noted with especial
approval at Washington.

COY. MANN AND BEATTIE.

It is not surprising that Governor
Mann is "being deluged" with letters
urging him to use executive clemency
in the case of Beattie, the wife muir
derer, of Richmond. The report says:
Governor Mann said today that ne
would not take any action whatever III
the Beattie case until the supreme
court OF appeals had passed upon the
netition for a writ OF error filed with
.Judge Keith today. The governor
said that he was still being deluged
with letters from all sections begging
for his clemency towards the con-
demned man. The governor is max
ing no attempt to answer such COM
munications."
or course the governor will await
the action of the supreme court anu
then he will no doubt not interfere
with the legal process of the law. IL
is natural that men and women should
feel sympathy for the aged father OF
Beattie, and no one could rejoice III
the execution of the condemned man.
but nothing can change the fact that
this, man has been convicted or
crime so fiendish and horrible that eX-
ecutive interference with the SEN
tsnce would be mockery OF the law.
If capital punishment can be MADE
a deterrent force in the commission OF
crime it would seem that it should
be rigidIy enforced, for scarcely a ia!
passes now that murders are not COM
mitted, and murders of such foul
character as to stir the minds OF the
people toward some method OF check
ing the frightful taking of human life.
The law must be vindicated' ana
the courts activity be encouraged ana
technical distractions removed to the
end that life may be made safer in the
