Griffith, who replaces James McAleer at Washington, has been managing big league teams ever since 1901 when he had charge Of the White SoX He left Chicago to manage the Yankees in 1903 and then jumped from the frying pan into the fire in 1910, when he tackled the Cincinnati job. Jake Stahl who succeeds Patrick Donovan in Boston tried his hand at managing the Washington team a few years ago but his youth and inexperteRce mili- tated against his success at the time James J. Callahan, the new White Sox leader, vice Hugh Duffy. was man. ager Of the same Sox after Griffith went to New York, and held the po- sition until Fielder Jones took it. In addition Callahan has had five years experience as owner and manager of the Logan Squares, a period in which he acquired much information of val ue in his new position.
 The three American league man agers who will remain at the same helms they have been handling are Connie Mack of the worlds cham pions, Hugh Jennings of the Detroit Tigers. and Wallace of the St Louis Browns. Two of them have grown gray in the service of the clubs by which they will be retained, probably for life.

 Nothing featured the season of 1911 in baseball more than the search for managerial timber. particularly in the American league. Of the eight clubs in that organization one changed man. agers in mid year and five have se- cured new diamond leaders for the 1912 campaign. The National league has been more conservative, only two clubs in that circuit switching gener- als.
 In all the changes made. however, only four men will be introduced to the job who have not previously man aged major league ball teams and one of those four has had consider able minor league experience in the role. The managers who will try out their executive qualities for the first time are Harry Davis. Henry O'Day, and John King Harry Wolyerton. the fourth of the newcomers in the big league ranks. has seen years of successful leadership in the Pacific coast and eastern leagues.

mittee speaking of DR.. II. D. Hatfield,
now Republican nominee for Governor
said: THE testimony shows that this
same DR.. Hatfield was very active in
the actual conduct of the election in
Mcdowell county. and the refusal 10
appoint Democratic challengers raises
strong presumption that the conduct
of the election was to be neither fair
nor honest" Some method OF pre-
venting such frauds as have brought
about the enormous Republican major
tiles in these counties should be pro-
yided by the next legislature and in
order to pass any law of this kind a
Democratic Legislature win be neces-
sary.
Then there are registration laws
which should be enacted. The state
must be re-districted under the census
of 1910 and some provision for equaliz-
ing taxation without making it burd-
ensome to any class of tax payers
should be provided. The Republicans
failure to accomplish this has proved
that party incompetent along these
lines at least, and the Democratic leg
islature should be given an opportun-
ity to work out the problem which the
Republicans have failed to solve.

SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Artist Did His Best, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Be Satisfied.

An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the flag of our nation played
. large part. He drew the flag, first
time, with five stars in the blue field
and took it to the managing editor,
who promptly let out yelp.
"Wadye think this country is" said
the managing editor, "a trust7"
Whats the trouble?" asked the
artist.
Trouble" beloved the managing
editor, why. we need more stars,
stars, stars!"
So the artist brought the picture
back aid this time he had 1T stars in
1t by actual count.
The managing editor felt his head
and choked slightly.
What do you think you're draw
ing?" he asked at last.
You're the hardest man to please
l ever met in my life," said the artist
Indignantly; first it's too few and
then it's too many. How many stars
do you want, anyway"

odd discoveries have come to light Quite con-
trary to American belief the Washington

IT, The facts that the Washington shield

been able to find which announces the Washing.
ton shield blazoned with stars and stripes. relates
to a public banquet at Baltimore. Md, In 1851.
where the ideas of an English poet-Martin Tup-
per by name-were voiced. proclaiming that the
American flag. with its heraldic notions, was Dor.
rowed from the Washington shield. which possess

That Washington should have developed such
ability as practical and consulting architect is
by no means strange when We take into account
his early experience as surveyor. This occupa-
ton which he followed during much OF his young
manhood gave him splendid judgment to the
relative qualifications OF sites for both private
and public buildings, and his discernment was re-
fected in the advice he gave to the sites for
the public buildings at the national capital and
the character OF the buildings to be erected
thereon.
According to tradition George Washington.
seated on the veranda OF elevated country
house, with the panorama Of the present District
OF Columbia spread out before him, chose what Is
now known as Capitol Hill as the site OF the iegts-
lative headquarters OF the government. He also
not only chose the site OF the White House or
Presidential Mansion. but personally conducted
the negotiations for the purchase of the needed
land. The work OF actually designing the vari-
public buildings and laying out the streets and
parks OF the new Federal City was left by Wash
ington In other hands. but up to the time OF his
last illness he exercised general supervision OF
all creative work and his architectural ideas
embodied in most OF the plans drawn.
But while Washington acted as consulting arc
itect with reference to many OF our most notable
public buildings he was actually and directly re-
