Sport and Athletics In America.
Sport and athletics in America are
vastly different terms. Sport should
be play, not work. Athletics as prac-
ticed in general are too strenuous, too
spectacular and too exclusive. We are
not an athletic nation Far from it..
We talk athletics, but there Is too
much grand stand and too little actual
participation in ganes.-Malcolm Ken

Renne Takes Vacation.

But Repne left mysteriously. He
took an extended vacation. He has not
been in this locality, so far as the
sheriff's Office knows. since the indict-
Hcnts were returned against Mayor
Schlieker and the rest of his crowd.
The state had continued these cases
from term to term in the expecta ton
that Renne would return. His stay was
unduly and extraordinarily extended
and so the cases were never tried.
Following the developments of yes
terday Attorney w J. McAleer took ad-
vantage of the psychological moment
and moved to have the cases against
Mayor Schlieker and the other dismiss
ca on account of the fact that they had
been continued for four terms. The
court could do nothing else under the
law and so they too were dismissed.

Other Cases Similar.

Tehre was a somewhat similar cir
cumstance in the case of John Dillon
so that it became clear to the court
that the state would not be able to
make out a case and the order that the
jury find the defendant not guilty was
the logical outcome.
Had the grand jury gone into the
matter in greater detail and learned
that Niece had employed a substitute it
is likely that the Indictments would

promptly put in nomination the name
of Harlan Thornton for representative
to the legislature from the Canibas
class of towns and plantations, and
the choice was affirmed by yell that
made the protesting chorus seem only
a feeble chirp. And then the caucus
adjourned unanimously.
Through 1t all Thelismer Thornton
stood with shoulders against the board
ing, that quizzical half smile on his
face. He walked out of the hall past
the outraged Ivus Niles without losing
that smile, though the demagogue fol-
lowed him to the door with frantic
threats and taunts.
Chairman Presson, who had found
speech inadequate for some time, fol
lowed the duke to the stairway outside
and stood beside him, gazing up at the
confagration.
II tell you. Thelismer, you'll never
get across with this. It's too devilish
rank! You'll be up against Dudley

worrying me more. Cobb has got fire

The roof of n barn half way down

had dropped there. After time the
two men could see trickles of fire run
ming up the shingles.
