GRAND RAPIDS
BEAT TOMA-
HAWK Z To D

Nelson scored his second consecu-
tive shut out Monday at Tomahawk.
The best Tomahawk could do was
to collect two widely separated swats
from the big blonde. Only seven
innings were played as the Grand
Rapids team had to catch a train.
Grand Rapids scored one run in the
first. Felsch hit to right field and
the fielder muffed the ball giving
FeIsch a life on first. Fahrner sacri-
ficed him to End and he came home
on Brennan's two-bagger. The Sc
cond score came in the fifth. Young
man hit for three bases and scored
on Henning's two-bagger.

It is often pointed out that there
are physiological and psychological
reasons for observing a period OF
abstinence at the incoming Of spring,
in addition to the special appeal
that Lent makes to ones religious
feelings and beliefs. 1t is noted
that nearly all nations and religions
observe this period in one form or
another, the .Mohammedan, the Hin
du, the Jew, and the Christian in
large part. In the spring, Like the re-
mainder of reawakened nature, man
feels the quickening of his blood,
like the sap rises in the tree, or the
water springs bubbling from its own
imprisoning ice, and there is a
physical need that he should cool his
pulses and tutor his digestion by alb
stention from the rich foods which
were necessary for warmth in the
winter, but which, no longer needed
would produce waste and loss OF en-
ergy. Apart from any religious sig
nificance therefore, it is good FOL
man to fast, to abstain from certain
foods in the spring, and most ma
tions, as indicated have discovered
it. each for itself, and in its owl
different way, has attributed it to
peculiar reason, embedded in the re
ligious heart of it's ruling sect.
And if it be good for man to fas
physically, how much more must
be to observe a period when nj
soul shall take an accounting, an in
yentory as it were, of what it is an
, would be, before proceeding onwar
, in the way of life. If that account
ing causes him but for that shor
white to pause only in a mistake
! course, or arouses him to perceir
The precipice over which his foo
h step is advancing, it has :nd@e
o done great good.

is a time of spiritual refreshmel

THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PAR
TY PRIMARY.

In another column appears a COM
munication touching on this subject.
It is entitled, "What Should be the
Binding Force Of a Party Nomina-
tion," and it is reproduced, less from
hearty concurrence in all the writer
advances than to show how FESTIVE
is the spirit with which party nomina
tions are received, when there has
been ft3ud or deceit practiced to Sc.
cure such nominations. The Ordinl-
ry man IS a true sport, and IS will
ing to accept defeat when he has
been fairly beaten, but it gals him
to the quick, arOuses all his fighting
blood to realize that he has been
overreached and then by fraud and
chicane and not by right or might.
Therefore, one can appreciate the
feelings of this writer even though
unable to accept all ms CONCLUSIONS
The obligation to accept the party
nominee is a strong one, or else, the
party's very existence is threaten
ed, and the primary itself receives
a death blow, And in Louisiana al
least, the time has not yet come
when Democracy, because it means
white supremacy, is not of para
mount Importance. The man, wht
votes in a Democratic primary, in
cures the obligation to support TIT
nominee, or at least, not to vott
against him. The matter Of cheat

COL. RoosEVELT's CANDIDACY.

Col. Roosnvelt's acknowledgment
that he would accept the Republican
nomination, if rendered him, was
not unexpected. If ever a "Barkis
was willin it was he, as it has
been evident, without words, all
these weeks. Col. Roosevelt loves
mower and loves the spectacular, the
being constantly in the public eye,
too we'll, to forego the bare opportu-
nifty of becoming again the first in
the land. He will make a deep i'm
print on the presidential campaign
even if he should not be successful
in securing the nomination. Nor Is
it written that he will not secure it,
though he has not yet developed
the strength he lost in the campaign
in New York.
But he is of the stuff-the hero in
ttnsel-that takes the popular fan
cy. He can utter catchy phrase!
that tickle the ear and awake un
thinking applause. He can do show!
things in suspicious moments. Al
these characteristics make him for
midable in a campaign. The public
is apt to forget that fufillment doe
not invariably follow his promises
that his usurpations of power wer
excessive, that he showed while pres
ident, high-handed, tyrannical i'm
pulses and tendencies. He is a dan
gerous man at the head of republic

at this time because a majority OF

sincerity and unfairness. Thousands
of voters are asking themselves the
question, Am l under any obligation

ed in a foregoing paragraph, the an
swer is that there is, at least, an OBJ

The second primary in New W

Judge Andrew Wilson of the JuVe-

Judge Wilson received over two
thirds of the vote. There was vic

a LIFE-WoRK CHOSEN.

It has caused a slight ripple Of
comment that Gov. Sanders, casting
about for an occupation after mel
leaves the governors chair, has de-
cidedtO devote himself TO the project
of the reclamation Of land in Louisi-
ana, and to the task Of inducing I'M
migration hither from the great
West. The Governor is nothing il
not plausible in his presentation OF
any subject, hence it is distinctiyely
in his own peculiar manner and
phrase, that he asserts that the en-
terprise appeals to him as his life
work" being as he says, the logi-
cal continuation in private life, of
constructive legislation in the direc-
ton of reclamation, good roads and
development generally, to which l
have given my most earnest adVo-
cacy during my administration as
governor Of Louisiana"
Even so, and maybe SO. But 'con-
s5ructive legislation" has painful as
sociatiOns to the more thoughtful
Louisianian, confronted with the
mass of so-called constructive leg
isIation" on the statute books OF
Louisiana as a result of the Sanders
policy of earnest advocacy and
which the legislators Of tomorrow
must diligently thresh out in the
hope of finding some grains OF
wheat amid the chaff. And while nc
one desires to pursue Gov. Sanders
into private life, with the criticisms
that legitimately followed him in hi
public career, yet he should not in
vfte such pursuit by intimating tina
he is undertaking this life-work a.
a logical conclusion to anything bu
his personal interests.
The announcement that Gov. San
ders will take up this work suggest
insistently that either the reclama
ton project affords bright flnar
cial outlook-big money-or that i
talking to the farmers Of the West
where he would have the prestige c
his high title without the disadvar
tage of his record of prOmise-breal
ing being known, he would fin
fresh fields and pastures new fC
his achievements. AS plausible an
ingratiating as Aaron Burr, thoug
not trait0roug he has ground fc
the belief that he could thus retriey
his fortunes, and make new an
better name for himself,
Let it be hoped So The TIT
Democrat grudges to no man the o
portunity of self-redemptiOn, thouG
such endeavor is most prOmisil
when preceded by repentance. TT
Governor has not repented, if
uses the same old catchwords, and
is to be feared that his allegiance
reclamation will raise exaggerat
hopes in the breasts of others tn
it is an Ell Dorado land, and not
sober and difficult, though highly f,
sible, undertaking.
