1t was learned yesterday that the date
set by Johns. Hopkins for the inter-
scholastic meet it is to hold this spring is
the same as that on which il was an
nounced that the Maryland Agricultural
College would conduct the intercollegiate
and interscholastic events it has sched-
uled. That Hopkins should tage the same
date as that on which the Farmers con-
template holding their meet was rather "A
surprise to those connected with the state
college.
Nav II is the time set for the holding of
both meets, and what will be done in re-
gard to the matter is a question The
result, IL both schools hold their meets on
the same date will likely be that both
will suffer. especially in point of attend
ance of competitors. NJ. 4. c. will likely
draw from the Washington schools. while
Hopkins will probably get the majority OF
the Baltimore athletes.
At a special meeting of the committee
in charge of the track meet AT the col
,rge last night 1t WIS decided to send a
representative to Baltimore tn confer
with the Hopkins management and Try
to get the school to go back 10 its oriGi-

do that. then the two .nee-s viii take
place at the same time. Tie authorities

is concerned, have decaced themselves 10

the Nationals and he insists that this is
the first spring since he has been with
the team that he conscientiously believes
it will make good showing in the race.
Clyde is really enthusiastic about the
teams prospects and any one familiar
with his conservative disposition will
realize the sincerity of his remarks.
What Milan figures on most to boost
the team in the race is not only the gen.

to the pitching staff. 'Cashion is going to

The statement that Abilene Is clam
oring that FIack be released is abb
solutely false and is an injustice
to the people of the city. Business
men of this town put up several
hundred dollars In an effort to find
him when he first defaulted. They
thought that the failure Of the bank
and the sad events that were con-
nected with it constituted a dis
grace to the city and were anxious
to wipe 1t out. But they were not,
any more than any other commun-
ity would be, inclined to commit
murder or other high crime simply
because Flack had been arrested
and brought back. He had the same
rights before court as any other
prisoner would have and he has no
more sympathy than any other pris-
oner would have.
1t is foolish of the state officials
that they so believe and of the
newspapers Of the state to assume
that Abilene or Dickinson county
desires that Flack be released. He
was prepared to take his punish
ment and did 1t In the only way he
could do 1t, by submitting to the
process of the law. Had the plan
been carried out, he would be serv-
ing the first Of the seven years in
the penitentiary; as it is he is in
jail with the probability Of, long
and very expensive litigation and
at the end no more punishment than
he would have received in the first
place.

CONCERNING COURTESY.

In the office of the Western Union
hangs a framed circular entitled
Concerning Courtesy" 1t applies to
other lines of business as well as
to telegraphy and every businessman,
clerk and employer alike, should
read 1t:
First. The principle that UNDER
lies courteous treatment Of others
is simply that of doing unto others
as you would they should do unto
you.
Second. In any business are many
things that you, with your training
and daily experience, understand
with perfect familiarity, but which
the public does not understand
Therefore, do not assume that the
public should comprehend them
without asking questions, but when
inquiry is made of you, give the
courtesy of reply just as full and
clear as you can make It, and withs
out any suggestion Of superiority
born Of a greater knowledge. 3
Third. Words are only one means
OF expression, and manner Is quite
as important. Therefore, ren1emb r
that kindly and gracious manner
is not only the sign and mark of a
self-respecting man. but is to your
words what oil Is to machinery in
making them move effectively to
their purpose.
Fourth. That courtesy is no re-
spector Of persons. It remembers
that "a mans a man for a. that"
and gives the civil word and the
helping hand quite as readily to the
ill-clad stranger as to member
OF the firm or an official Of the
company.
Fifth. Courtesy is not only some
thing the public has right to ex-
pect of you, but 1t pays,
1t pays in the friends 1t makes
you personally and as a representa-
tive Of the firm or company.
1t pays in minimizing the friction
Of your life. as well as that between
the firm and its patrons.
1t pays in raising your standing
with your employers.
1t pays in the personal satisfac-
tion resulting from having done the
right and kindly thing by your
''neighbor.' Z

OUT OF THE LONG AGO.

Saturday evening family drove
out or town in a spring wagon
father, mother, and half dozen
tired but happy youngsters. Some
Of the youngsters were munching
peanuts and the larger ones had
new schoolbooks on their laps. And
the sight of them game me some-
thing like a heartache.
& They would reach home in the
early falling dusk. The Oldest boy
would hike out after the cows. The
father and the younger boys would
put away the team and do the
chores. Mother would carry in the
sleepy little girl, and get supper
and around the supper table all
would gather and eat and talk of
what they had seen and heard
and bought--in town, and all be
glad they are home again.
It is a long while since | had part
in similar trip, It was dusty
country road to town: but in the
town were fine store windows and
amazing crowds of people and the
smells OF foreign fruits and the
strange traffic roar. What fine
ecstasy in being Ito town."
And on our homeward way there
was always the backward final look
from the hill at the vanishing smoke
wreathed town. and the silver rib
bon Of the Wabash with its banks
Of fringing maple and willow; and
the long. covered wooden bridge
that spanned the stream; and with
us would be the kindly smile of
the old bridge-keeper who took toll
and sat in the office shade of sum

passed along his way

Is It to have continued and car

whatever was sane and desirable In
the policies OF Theodore ROOSEVELT
Is II to have reduced, so far as
the recommendation OF the execu-
tive could reduce the spendthrift,
reckless extravaganza Of congressg
Is it to have given the United
States an administration competent,
intelligent, thoroughly progressive2
Is 1t to have achieved through
the courts those prosecutions OF vio-
lators OF the Sherman act that Mr..
Taft's predecessor effected mainly
with his everlasting lur So, a kindly
hand always reaching behind his
back for friendly contIibr tions and
supporters?
Is It to have made the White
House a place of dignity and dis
tiflction, and not an exhibit OF the
Midway Plaisance and annex OF
Bedlam?
Is 1t to have been a constitutional
and limited ruler, not a, Byzantine
autocrat?
Is 1t to have been faithful, loyal,
modest: an intellect and not a voice,
quietly pursuing amid the meanest
treachery Of old friends and asso-
ciates the path of honor?
Is it to have been straightforward
among the crooked?
Is 1t to have been patient under
such absolutely causeless calumny
as has not been uttered against a
president since the days of the Au-
rora?

strike many of US, that the sense

a sPIENDID TICKET.

The Republicans Of Dickinson
county have nominated for county
officials some first class candidates.
The next occupants Of the court
house, If the Republican ticket wins,
as il should, will be one of the
most capable and altogether well
equipped body Of public, officials
the county has ever known. There
is not person who will occupy a
court house position who is not well
qualified for the place nor who has
not the entire respect OF the COM
munity.
Whatever may be the difference
Of opinion regarding national affairs
and the nominees for places that
have to do with affairs outside the
county, there is no difference of
opinion regarding the duty Of Re-
publIcans to support the entire Re-
publican county ticket from top to
bottom. The normal Republican
majority OF Dickinson county is
from six hundred to eight hundred
and unless all signs fail not cam
tiitlate for a position in the court
house will be elected by smaller
majority than the larger figure
named. It is not only matter OF
personal popularity that should give
any nominee place on party
ticket; one thing more should enter
into 1.-THE qualifications that make
the Individual fitted for the place.
This should 60 a long way in the
care of officials that are already
serving. Their record should be
taken into consideration and II 1t is
one that merits continuance, the
tendency OF today is to keep the
well qualified men on the job.
No one is going to become rich
ont OF any court house position.
The salaries are too small In every
place for the work that is required
of the officials. When we can OBJ
tain officials who have the ability
and willingness to do the county's
work ii q competent and thoroughly
carefully manner. no reason what
ever exists why any Republican
should fail to give his ticket clean
and hearty support.
The nominees Of the Republicans
include list like this; H. W. King
for county clerk: W. s. Anderson,
for probate Judge; G. q. Huffman,
for sheriff; Arthur Hurd, for coun-
" attorney; Mrs. B. 9. Anderson,
for register Of deeds; p. M. BIachly.
for district clerk; w. O. Steen, for
county superintendent; G. w. Peter
son ana s. III McElhenny, for COM
miEsloners; Ernest Morse, for treas
urer: Karl Riddle, for surveyor; r
v. Close. for assessor; o. A. McKil-
Iipp. coroner.
Nowhere will you find finer list
OF candidates than this They are
credit to Dickinson county In ev-
cry respect and every person knows
their election means that every duty
win be performed with conscientious
care and accuracy as well as with
