Sporting Views
By the Editor

The question of management of the
keokul. club next year is one that has
been worrying the fans more or less
for several weeks and they have made
many suggestions as to the man to
whom the directors will hand the
team when the season opens in May.
That Queisser will not be retained is
certain, as it is well known that he
is aware of the attitude of the major
the club, were it offered WEIGH and
Kelly are the most likely candidates at
present, but there has been some talk
of putting Frank Belt back on the job.
A great many fans believe that Belt
is the best man that could be secured
for the place because he knows more
about conditions here than any other
man that could be had whether or
not he would accept the place after
being out of the game for a year is
not known.
Kelly would make good man for
beside knowing the game thoroughly,
he can lay his hands upon ball players
whenever he would need them WEIGH,
while a much younger man than any
OF the others, is said to be very pop
ular with fans and players all over the
| circuit. He has never had an oppor-
tunity to show his executive ability
and would have to be tried out In or
der to show the directors about his
capabilities in the managerial line
| 1t has been said all season that the
manager of the Keokuk club has new
/ er had full control of the club, such
as should be given. The directors
are prone to get their hands in the
managership and in this manner keep
! the club in a turmoil all the time, so
the report says. If this is true. there
is no cause for surprise in the fact
| that the Keokuk club has never been
a winner, for with the men and the
manager and the dieectors all quarrel
ing among themselves, good baseball
is out of the question.
I Whether or not the manager should
have control of the club during the
coming season Is question that
should be decided. once and for all
time, at the meeting to be held in
October, for the election of the direc-
tors. Unless it can be shown that
the team can be trusted to compel
ent man to handle for the summer, It
is much better that the game be al
flowed to die, than to have people Civ
ing up their money, not only in adj
mission, but in donations to the club,
| for the mediocre brand OF baseball
/ that has been their lot for several
years past, merely because the club is
under the fingers of few men who
want to be in the lsmelight.

\ Mail Order Deal.

man went into store to buy saw.
He saw the kind he wanted and asked
the price. 1t was $1.65 the dealer
said

Roebuck & Co. for $1.35."
That's less than it cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the same
terms as the mail order house just
the same"
"All right" said the customer. you
can send it along and charge it to
my account"
Not on your life" the dealer re-
piled. mo charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail order
house that way. Fork over the cash.
The customer complied.
Now cents for postage and cents
for a money order"
What"
Certainly, you have to send a let
ter and a money order to mail order
house, you know"
The customer, inwardly raving, kept
to his agreement and paid the nickel.
Now % cents expressage."
We'll, I'll be-" he said, but paid
it, saying Nov hand me that
saw and I'll take 1t home myself and
be rid Of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma
and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that saw"
Whererpon the dealer hung the saw
on peg and put the money in his
cash drawer.
That makes $167," he said at has

two weeks longer to get it than If

a Charleston merchant is still ad-
vertising Christmas hams in The
News and Courier. The Laurens Ad-
vertiser remarks that they must be
pretty stale by this time. We can't
see that that is any of The Adver-
Users business. If the Charleston
people want to buy and eat stale ham
that's their business. Now we would
not blame The Advertiser for rails

not willing to cooperate to work the
roads themselves by doing a little
personal work insthe way of using the

to afford the supervisor the means to
work them with. Beautiful plans for
working roads do not amount to much
so long as the money is not forth-com-
ing with which to put the plans into
execution. The plain facts about the
road business is that the county has
not at its disposal enough money to
make any permanent improvements
with. So long as this money is not

He hasn't enough money to make such
improvements as would do away with
the necessity Of dragging the roads
after each rain. Therefore, what is
to be done? Either enough money

Even The IntelIigencer.

There seems to be little doing in
the general assembly this week except
the consideration of the vetoes of the
governor and it does look as if the
general assembly has really gone wild
on the subject Of these vetoes If the
governor is for anything, it is gener-
ally the case that the general assem-
bly, will think that there is something
wrong with it and will fight it, even
though hey might have previously sup
ported 1t,
1t is most remarkable situation,
end there seems really to be none SO
poor as to 40 him honor.
Such a remarkable loss of influence
and support has never before been
shown in the state, it is safe to wager.

Friends of the Newspapers.


A supporter OF Hon. Kolell Blease
sends us a 35 cents subscription, ac-
companied by the following letter:
1 will wach your paper for the next
80 days. You have got CRATE room for
improvement to suite me, but 1 hope
you will do so. Gov. Blease has not
been treeted fair by your paper, but
Of course much better than by some
others, they wool hat boys only wants
fair play and fair play we must have
All right, wool hat boys, the Journal
will give Blease fair play. We have
never done otherwise. In fact, the
Journal is one of Blease's favorite
newspapers. We think this because
he has never called any member OF
our staff IAN infamous liar" or a
"half-bred negro" In fact, dirty
coward is about as far as the COVER
nor has ever been referring to any
member Of the Journal staff and this
in comparison with the epithets he
hurls at other newspaper men. must
be considered a sort of compliment
Therefore we are trying to give the
governor a square deal. We print
only the truth about him and a little
of that goes a long ways.
AS matter of fact, we are ENJOYING
the reign of the Honorable Blease.
From newspaper standpoint he is
the greatest governor who ever gov
erned. The newspapers want news
and Blease supplies it in steady
startling, undmnished and uninter-
rupted volumes
He is the best friend the newspa-
pers have with the exception of those
who send along their subscriptions
in cash like the author of the above
letter. With Blease to furnish the
news and his supporters to furnish
the sinews of war we feel that the
Journal is singularly fortunate

men of Anderson county, w. H.
Glenn, is a director of that institu-
tion and his friends here would like
to see this whole matter settled once
and for all. Now, how does the Ad-
yertiser call that being "off the track"
AS to the hosiery mill, the Adver-
tlser and The Daily Mail have
agreed. Dr. Robert Wilson, chair
man OF the state board of health
has practically sustained what The
Daily Mail has presented-that the
board of health has not made charges
OF vlthy and foul conditions at the
hosiery mill. The class of work
or environment is what the board
OF health has criticised. The Daily
Mail has never disputed the finding
of the state board of health, but the
position Of this paper has merely
been that there was no occasion for
such hysterical denunciation of, the
hosiery mill as has been heard in
some parts of the state.
That's all, and that ought to he
pam enough, for any one.
And we will add this-that while
the hosiery mill may be unhealthy

LETTER FROM "CITIZEN."

:
Editor Advertisers
| have been thinking for some time
of writing something relative to our
country roads. In almost every sec
ton of the county they are well-nigh
impossible, Ruts and tches and
wash~outs | find on all the roads and
what we want is a remedy for these
conditions. Farmers can't 20 to town
only with difficulty, mail carriers
can't make their rounds, doctors cant
go to see their patients, children can't
go to school-all because of the rough
roads.
The only good thing we can possibly
see about the rough roads is they
won't let the automobiles run. Now
Mr.. Editor we want you to help us
secure better roads. Our supervisor
Is not to blame, he has his hands full
and just can't get around and scrape
all the roads-Now we have one sug-
gestion and to put It briefly It is this /:
Let the supervisor employ man In
every township or community to 20
over the roads with a spllt-log drag
and &moothe the rough places and
ruts down. This certainly would help
matters. Mr.. Editor can't you help
us out with this road campaign? We
need help.
