Chicago, March 12.-When inform
ed of the Gallagher resolution, Presi-
dent B. B. Johnson, of the American
league, said:
1--WE would be glad to have an in
vestigation. There is no baseball trust
and competition is not stif1ed Any
one who wishes is welcome to get into
the game.
so far as men being enslaved is
concerned, large number of the play
ers are drawing salaries in excess of
what is paid to Congressman. That
does not look much like enslave-
ment."
President T, M. Chivington of the
American Association, said:
Amy resolution of that sort pre-
sented to Congress must be based on
lack of information of extent, purpose
and operation of what is known as
organized baseball AS a matter of
fact there is no violation of Federal,
State or municipal law in the opera
ton of organized baseball.
John T. Powers, president of the
Columbian Baseball League which has
planned to put ball teams in num-
Der of cities where the major leagues
now play, declared he had taken no
part in causing the presentation of
the Gallagher resolution.

Campbell WRITES \
70 The COLONEL
Comes To McNinley's Aid In The Ie'-
ter War Anent Preferential
Primaries.

Washington, March 12.-Representa-
tive Campbell of Kansas, took a mana
Yesterday in the Presidential prefer
ence primary controversy which has
been going on between Senator Joseph
M. Dixon, director of the Roosevelt
headquarters, and Representative NC
Kinley. director of the national Taft
burden.
Mr.. Campbell gave out copies OF
letter from him to Colonel Roosevelt.
The Colonel's letter to Senator Dix
ON given out here Sunday apparently
endorsed Senator Dixon's challenge to
Director Mckinley for preferential
primaries and scored Director McKin-
ley for his reply, which in part was
that he did not favor changes in the
rules of the game while the game was
in progress. The colonel referred to
a speech Mr. Campbell made at Con
cord IN. H. and described the rep
resentative as saying that Republican
party did not appeal from a decision
of the umpire to the bleachers. Mr..
Campbell, in his letter, makes some
observations on the recall of judges
and judicial decisions.
you have overlooked one of the
most important cases ever tried, he
wrote. "Pilate acquitted Christ. An
appeal from Pilates decision was TAX
en- to the people and the Savior was
crucified."
In part Mr.. Campbells letter was as
follows:
MY Dear Colonel You artfully as
sumo in your letter to Senator Dixon
this morning that | was talking about
politics in the Concord speech when |
said the Republican party was not in
favor of appealing from the decision
of the umpire to the bleachers.
Every man who knows the old rule
VI IhS III iHc llliS hHeN d lew udy ;
ago when you said your hat was in
the ring, that you were undressing for
the fight. The fans know that an ap-
peal from the umpire to the bleachers
would end a game.
Now, the fact is, | was discussing
your astonishing proposition to appeal
from the decisions of the court to the
crowd in the court house yard and
what | said to which you take excep
tion was in that connection.
Speaking of reactionaries, you will
agree that James II was a reactionary
who recalled judges he had appointed
when they would not write the kind
of opinions he wanted written. The
progressive Commons of England made
the judges Independent of recall fol
declaring the law instead of the power
that made the judges.
you sometimes refer to Lincoln
You will recall that he said in the
midst of great war for the preserva
ton of this government that this was
"a government of the people a gov
eminent for the people and by the peo
pie. You will also recall that the in
strumentalities by which the people
governed themselves when Lincoln
made that speech did not include the
initiative, referendum and recall, not
indeed the recall of judicial decisions
Now does it not look to you or
reflection like rank reaction to &c
back to instrumentalities of govern
ment, some of them older than Roman
civilization and that brought bad rule
and limitation of years rather thar
good rule and length of days to the
government that adopted and prac
ticed them?

Crops Not Badly Hurt.


Farmers in thes section state that
so far crops were not damaged to any
great extent by the heavy rains which
set in since the harvest commenced,
and unless there is a repetition of the
weather of last week the grain will be
dry enough in the course of two or
three days for the threshing outfits
over the country to resume work.
Oats, it is said by farmers on Amer
lean Ridge, have been damaged by the
rain in that they have been discolored
and many will be graded as No. 2
feed oats on account of this slight de-
feet In only one instance has wheat
been reported as being damaged, but
to what extent it was not ascertained.
Lawrence Johnson, who was in from

made inquiries on his way to town,
but from what he could learn not even
the oats were damaged.
