BASEBALL PLAYERS
MAY BE- OPPOSED
White Rats Seek to Keep
Diamond Actors Out of
Vaudeville.
MULLIGAN.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14-BasebaIl players
with leanings toward the stage will
have a hard row to hoe in the future,
If plans now on foot by the White
Rats and actors affiliated with that
organization materialize.
The "legitimates'' are miffed at the
success OF the diamond stars in their
theatrical ventures, and purpose to put
an end to ii even if 1t becomes a battle
between capital and labor
Ball Players Barred
The phenomenal advance OF Joe
Tinker, Jimmy Callahan, Christy Math-
ewson, Doc" White, and other follow
ers of the national pastlme is the cause
of the cry for the removal Of their kind
from the spotlight. Men and women
who earn a livelihood from their efforts
on the stage believe their future will be
blasted if ball players, after success
full season on the diamond. invade the
stage.
The White Rats, strong organza-
ton of actors and actresses, within
thirty DAYS purposes increasing its ini-
tiation fee from SO to 800, with the un-
derstanding that baseball players or
others connected with any sport shall
be barred. no matter how anxious they
may he to Join or what arguments they
put forth as an incentive to accept their
membership.
Jealous, That's All.
If this plan is adhered to, which ap-
pears at the present time to be sure,
Tinker ct al will have to turn to their
original trade or profession to earn
living during the winter months.
The plan to be adopted by the White
Rats and other organizations affiliated
with them probably will! be worked out
on the following lines:
Ball players and other men who earn
their living at different sports will not
be admitted to membership. This will
he the first move and an essential one
when it comes right down TO brass
tacks
The White Rats are affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor; the
musicians also are backed by that or
ganization, and the stage hands have
Joined hands with the powerful labor
body.
How They'll Work 1t.
When a baseball player, booked for a
certain theater, puts in an appearance
for rehearsal he will be asked for his
card Being unable to produce the re-
uuired pasteboard, the musicians and
stage hands will refuse to aid him In
any way, and then it is up to the man
ager, whose hands for the time being
will be tied.

Veteran for the White Sex.

Although generally considered as
through, so far as fast baseball is con-
cerned, Matty Mcintyre may make an
excellent man for the Chicago White
SoX.
Some time ago Mcintyre had troubles
with the owners at Detroit and his play
ing was never again as good as it had
been. Mcintyre is a fighter all the way,
and, 1t seems to me, just the sort of a
player Charley Comtskey wants.

BOB THAYER'S
Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boost"

Virginia is wise.
The announcement that Virginia has
declined to meet V. P. I. next fall, does
not come as a great surprise TO me.
For a while it appeared as though the
two institutions would resume relations
after break of several years, but the
authorities at Charlottesville decided
that a contest would be inadvIsable
While Virginia gave the reason that
much bitterness might be engendered
through a game, l believe the action
was brought about by the football men
who realized that the addition of an
other big game to the already hard
schedule might be fatal. Georgetown,
Carolina, and the Indians give the
Orange and Blue all the excitement
needed for football season.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
1t Is entirely closed deafness IS the
result. and unless -he Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine CAGES oas

is nothing but an infiamed condition

Grounds for Impeachmeptl

. g = .
When Governor Blease wiIsully'
refuses to obey the law as it is
printed in the statute books, and as
1t has been unanimously interpreted
by the highest tribunal of the State,
the Supreme Court, the question az
once arises whether he does not
lay himself open to impeachment
and possible removal from office by
the General Assembly. Without max
ing the slightest attack upon the
character or policies of the governor,
a careful review of the facts will show
that this question Is an important one
and deserves serious consideration by
every citizen of South Carolina
Should Governor Blease refuse to
commission Ernest Moore as special
judge for the Union county court which
opens today. he will have undoubtedly
violated the law of the State. The mat
ter of appointment of special judges
has been one matter upon which Mr..
Blease has refused 20 yield to an au-
thority higher than his cwn. Several
cases have come up in the past few
months, and in all of them has the
governor shown an unwarranted OBJ
stinacy.
Governor Blease has claimed that
the statutes OH this point were uncon-
stitutional. The supreme court has
taken occasion to rule on the question,
has ruled unanimously that the
statute Is constitutional. and that the
governor must appoint the party rec
omnended by the supreme court. If
the governor does not submit to the
serious proportions. Should he refuse
to appoint the person recommended,
the law will be violated. and that by
the very person who most of all should
see that the laws are enforced. And
aside from the danger resulting from
unwarranted tampering with the judi.
cial government Of the State there is
another, and perhaps more serious,
ont
Section %, of Article 3. of the Con-
stitution states that Officers shall be
removed for mcapacity. misconduct,
or neglect of duty" The constitution
is mandatory on this point. and does
not provide that officers may be re-
moved on this ground. The statutes
outline clearly the duty of the COVER.
nor to appoint special judges upon
recommendation by the court. Hence,
If the governor does not so commission
special judges, does this not constitute
neglect of duty. wilful and delib-
crate neglect? Members of the legis-
lature are sworn to uphold the consti-
tuition, and to obey this oath, they
should consider this matter very care
fully before the convening of the next
session. To impeach the governor 1t
would require two-thirds majority
the House. The trial would take
place before the Senate, where a two
thirds vote is required to convict.
An impeachment is process very
rarely resorted to. But this would
not excuse the legislators for wink
ing at the situation. The News should
not be misunderstood as unqualifiedly
advocating an impeachment of Cover
nor Blease. But 1t is encumbent upon
the members of the general assembly
of this State to bring their minds up
on the matter, and be in position to
decide next January what is right to
do. They will be held responsible
should they allow a violation of the
law to go unchallenged, when it is in
their power to put an end to it

Colonel E. Hofer, editor and pro-

On the last page of his copy" deal
ing with legislative proceedings, Sat-
urday afternoon, he wrote a big

At the height of the stormy session
marking the close of the legislative
work, Colonel Hofer wrote his vale
dictory, which follows:
"A REQUIEM"
Here's a tear for the bills that are
buried and dead.
When Rusk sang their requiems and
put them to bed,
No longer the lion of Baker will roar,
Or Fouts let his eagle of eloquence
soar.
We never could tell what head would
be hit
When Belland unsheathed the sword
of his wit;
When Chdntecler Eaton made his in
fluence felt,
Or Clyde took his seat with a scalp
at his belt;
And we never got stung when warned
to go slow
By well-meaning protests of brainy
Bigelow.
We never were wearied from speeches
from Gill
Or rosy faced, rubicund Graves from
Yamhill;
Or when Thompson tore loose on
bill to waste money
To put through his bill far an in
spector of honey;
When the sergeant-at-arms, sternly
forcing a frown
At the speakers command sat Hunt
ington down;
With Mariner to guard the good roads
of the state,
And wipe the Websterian bills off the
slate;
With Mahoney and Abrams to tell
tales of the war,
And Abbott determined the salaries
to bar,
The people see through the shams of
our fights,
Making grandstands for constitution
al rights,
We have lost the bright halo we wore
when we came
In making horseplay of the political
game.
So farewell to pure water and this old
Salem town;
We are leaving our desks because

The special water committee ap-

the data and information supplied
it by r. NJ. Donald, engineer for the
company, and also other information,
and 1t begins to look now as though
a report will be forthcoming when
the council meets next Monday.
The price which the committee
feels should. be paid for the plant is
S330,000, which includes betterments
The price asked by the company is
about $950,0OO. The committee had
hoped to convince the engineer and
the officials of the company that its
offer is all the plant is worth, but
they seem to take a different view of
it, and to hold to the old price.
The report, 1t is understood, will
be an elaborate one, and will cover
all information and data obtainable
by the committee on the subject.

ERECTING
ONE BUILDING
EVERY DAY

Sixty building permits were issued
by City Recorder Elgin for the
months of January and February.
Now that is at the rate of one per-
NIT day, and as it is estimated by
the recorder that they will average
about $4,000 each, it means the ex-
penditure of $15O,OOO for labor and
material in the construction of build
ings in the city. The largest amount
called for in any permit is $35, ,0OO-
that of the Salem brewery for the
erection of an addition to its plant.
The other permits range from $500,
but there are but few of them, COM
pared to permits calling for the cree
tion of buildings of $500 Most of
the permits call for the erection of
residences.

COUNCIL
REPORTS
ON PAVING

Kalispell, Mont, March 4.-(Spe-
ciaD-Bitulithic pavement appeared
to be the one most favored by the
committee of the city council, which
reported Monday night, after a trip
that extended over Washington and
parts of Oregon and Idaho, and oc-
cupied more than two weeks. The
committee reported on cement blocks,
vitrified bricks, asphalt, bitulithic
and several other mixtures similar to
it.. They declared that the best pave
ment they found were those in Port
land, where bitulithic was used for
the heaviest traffic, and the poorest
pavement was asphalt. They said
that the day they visited Spokane sew
eral horses were injured by slipping
on the wet asphaltum and had to be
shot, although this, they said, was
the best asphalt pavement they saw
anywhere. 1t is not decided yet
which pavement will be laid as bids
have not been asked, and the con-
tracts will be conditioned upon the
figures submitted. The paving is to
begin early this spring, and is to COW
er the business section.
