COURTS TO DECIDE
Legal Hearing to Be Given Howard
and Electrical Workers Differences.

Mr.. Howard made the following
statement today regarding the diff
cuIties between him and the electri-
clans union:
Il would have been perfectly will
ing to give them the advantage of
submitting the entire case to a Court
OF Inquiry'aof the Trades Unions. but
since they have lodged the issue L
shall pass it up to the Courts, where
ii will be handled with gloves on.
Il believe nine-tenths of the union
men of the city are against this strike
in the first place, and also condemn
the methods of Iawlessness of these
men in handling the whole matter,
even if they can draw on $4,000 to
defeat justice and set our laws at
naught-
Il refuse to stoop to the personal
abuse and SANDER they have INDUCED
in, even to answer, but am content to
consider the source and let the public
Judge and compare our past and fu-
ture, for 1 know that only a small per
cent of our citizens believe in anarchy,
even though a large part find IL "ex-
pedient' to not condemn it openly
Thanking our readers for their pa
thence, am, Yours finally,
III. B. HOWARD.

TWO new HOG BARNS
Contract to Provide More Space at
Fair Grounds Let.

Contract for the erection of two
new hog barns at the fair grounds,
was let today to B. B. Gillice, of To-
peka. Bids from but two contractors
We're received and the Gillice PROPOSE
ton was the lower of the two. His bid
was 1850.
The new hog barns will be similar
to the barns erected a year ago and
are badly needed. Because of the rap
idly increasing demands for exhibit
space this year, it was realized that
the present buildings would not accom-
modate the swine exhibits this sea-
SON. Even with the completion of the
new barns, every foot of exhibit space
will probably be reserved weeks before
the opening of the fair.

Morning practice will be inaugurated
for the Kaws beginning Saturday
morning. The club house has beer
completed and the ground is in shape
This practice is counted upon by the
manager to bring the team into shape
II we can stick around that 500
mark for awhile I'll be satisfied said
the manager today. We have a lot
of away from home games now They
are going to be hard on the standing.
But when the season has progressed
month or six weeks further, then
We'll be in shape to do things to them,
provided we can keep near the middle
way mark in the percentage column.
I believe the team will get going
again as soon as the players grow &C
customed to working in their new po-
sitions. They have to get used to each
other and the station they are in. So
give us chance to get started before

Jack Holland Is Happy
Jack Holland, manager of the St
Joseph club. is happy over the way
in which his team is performing.
There is no sign of mourning about
the big fellow. He figures his team is
better than last year and dope as well
as the standing of his team indicate
that he is fairly near correct in his
estimate.
I've got a fine looking ball club, I
think, said the Drummer boss to-
day. L believe the local fans will
Ike them despite the fact that they
are an opposing team. The players
are young, but not as young as they
We're last year. and on top of that
they are good youngsters.
Holland believes his club will finish
as well as they did last year and per-
haps better. What he is now pulling
for is a pennant. His town has sup
ported him in his attempt to build up
a strong team and he's trying to give
the fans what they want in payment
for this support. At present he looks
to stand a chance of doing il.
He has picked ''Winnebago' John
son TO go against the Kaws on the
opening day and Gossett Will do the
back stopping. He feels fairly certain
of making a good showing here.
Holland has signed Pitcher john
son. a collegian from Tabor, Ia. This
makes a pair by that name for him.

For Next Attorney General
JOHN A. FAIN
LaWton,
THE OLD AND THE NV
Oklahoma

In a few days we will say
goodby. adieu, farewell to the
historical year 1912 forever. AS
it slips away from us, with all of
its memories, it awakens a cord
of pain in our hearts as we think
it will be everlastingly gone. with
its sunshine and its shadows, its
joys and its pains: its many op-
portunities employed or disre-
garded. We cannot bring it back
and man" of US wouldn't if we
could.
However. most, if not all of us
tenderly cling to the old year
with our memories and affections
while we hopefully and prayer
fully reach out for the new
with all of its uncertainties.
To many of us the old year has
been kind, in many degrees;
while with many more the dark
side has been turned-a shadow
has fallen and the mantle of sor-
row has wrapped its somber folds
about them.
In looking back over the past
year, most of us see where we
made mistakes, did many things
that we should not have done,
and left undone many things
we should have done = mostly,
however, the fault Of the head
and not of the heart. We have
learned many things during the
past year, no matter how old we
may be; and. if we are wise, we
will profit by our experience.
In many things it is well to Judge
the future by the past; while in
some other ways it is best to let
the dead past bury them and
press onward and upward i al
ways sure that we are climbing
and not falling.
Let us. one and all, dear read
ers. adopt a motto that is well
calculated to make us better
men, women and children, and
then resolve to live by it. So
far as the humble editor of the
CHAMPION is concerned. we can
not think of a better one than
that proclaimed by the angels
at the birth of Christ: Peace
on earth, goodwill towards
men,"
