SHOULD HATE TO CLAIM KINSHIP.
But Still His Simplicity is Very
Amusing.

Our near neighbor, the hired man,
who publishes the sheet sustained di-
rectly out of the treasury of the peo-
pies hard earned money of Mingo
county, seems to be very much inter-
ested about our return to the city of
Williamson. This man from Ohio,
where the social lines are not so
strongly drawn, has gained his resi-
dence here during our absence. He is
simple duck, as well as slick. Hoping
to conceal his identity by attempting to
be funny he calls us Uncle" but
we should hate to claim such a re.a-
tionship. He is only attempting to
make himself respectable by INDUCING
in familiarity. Of course we have to
endure this, but we just want to in
form our readers that we do not feel
fiattered and that we disownA his equal
ity claims.

"A Fighting Chance. =

Many of the Republican newspapers
of the State are proclaiming that if the
party purifies itself and relegates to
the rear the old Republican machine
which has become so odious with the
people, there will be a lighting
chance" for the party in the coming
election. If, it would only do these
things, but its leaders are too far lost
to the interests of the masses to ever
think of purifying the party until they
are compelled to do SO by the votes Of
the people. They may promise, but
new men must assume control before
there can be a change from past meth
DDS to better government in West Vir-
ginia.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Rag-time.

Vituperation-Clas and Rag-time.
In our long and varied career 1t
has been our pleasure to conduct
in many different chimes
and among many different kinds OF
people. 1t is strange fact, one
that has ever puzzled us, that no
matter where We go, the dishonest
politicians Immediately single us
out and begin to hurl vile epithets
at us. The only reason we can
ascribe for this singular circumstance
is that we are ourselves so hopelessly
unsophisticated that we still cling TO
the naive theory that honesty is a
virtue that should be required OF
men VINO apply to the people for
jobs. Naturally, persons like our con-
temporary next door (the proximity
is not our fault) disagree with us VI
olently on this point. Hence, We pre-
sumo, our appropriately.
However, we have not been at all
unhappy because we are not loved by
those whose ways are shady, ana
whose deeds emit foul odor. There
is a certain exhilaration in being Will
fed by an intelligent crook. He can
manipulate his words and so cleverly
juggle his rhetoric that it is always a
gamble to guess what he will say
next. One is not ashamed to be the
subject of decently written article.
But there is a certain humiliation
In the thought that we inspired the
puerile sneers that formed the chief
portion of that ill-favored little organ
which We are obliged to confess is
published next door to us. OF course,
it is possible that the editor of that
journal couldn't think of anything
eise to "fill up with', but ii this be
true, we must say he is a very poor
space writer. The fact that he has
given us his entire editorial page
does not afford us much comfort. The
only encouraging thing about 1T is
that the whole outburst is so palpably
the effort of "a person totally unin-
atructed in the ethics of legitimate
journalism, that we know that any
intelligent people to whose attention
it may chance to come will immed-
lately guess the source, of the articles
and will Judge them accordingly.

1t looks out of place for such set
of men as those who are running the
machine politics of this county to be
talking about the poverty of other peo-
pie. Heaven knows that the last one
of them is today living upon the char

fraudulently obtained by the voting Of

Suburban League
May Have Protest
Manager Torney of Petworth Does Not Like Pre-
>pious Ruling of Ohicials-Silper Spring
Stands Good Chance for Pennant. -
Nv C. w. SWAN.


That the Petworth team Of the Sub
urban League will protest the ruling of
the Suburban League officials in the near
future Is the feeling that prevails in that
circuit
When Takoma and Brookland with
drew from the league, the standings
were changed so that every team would
have a chance for the pennant, thus de-
priving the Petworth aggregation Of the
flag which they had practically won.
Now Manager Torneys pets will have
to win every game to land the bunting,
including three with Silver Spring, and
with the team that Manager Brook Lee
has corraled, the Baby Dolls will have
to do some tall ball playing to win out
In President Pages circuit.
That the ruling was rather unjust is the
feeling of the majority of the Suburban
fans, and Manager Torney has the we'll
wishes of them all
Ad Loehl, the former Georgetown
Prep star, has been putting up a great
game behind the bat for the Silver
Spring Nationals in the Olympia League,
and is clouting the pill in that old-time

Country Beatty is starring in the

with the fans of the SouthsS Atlantic
League. In the games he has played to
date, 'Bilr' has fielded wonderfully, and
has hit the ball hard every trip to-the
pan.
Anacostia has a promising twirler in
Phipps, the youngster from across the
creek. This Mad would have beaten more
than one team this season with a half
way team behind him. But the Subur-
banites have strengthened of late, and
now will give the other four teams a
fight for every game.
Maurice O'Connor has corraled a good
looking bunch of youngsters on the Alloy
sius team of his-leaving out Taylor-for
his young days are past-and they all
play rafting good ball. Not heavy-hit-
ting aggregation, the pill chasers manage
TO hold their opponents to a few tallies
and then beatsthem out. In the case of
the Aloysius-C s-Commissioner game last
week, the Clubmen had a hard time
beating the Ninth-Ingram combination
with little Broome twirlipg for the new
comers. Broome never pitched a game
before in his life, and Aloysius should
have run away with the CONTEST AS it
was, Crabbie's two errors in left gave
the Aloysius tribe the winning run.
And still they kick. No matter who is
handling the indicator in the Marquette
League somebody will have something
