crutts from various prep" and high
schools, the following expert players

ATOW that the worlds series
y tumuIt and shouting have
reached their limit of noise
it might not do any harm to slip in
a gentle whisper to the effect that
some former Southern league play
ers seem destined to play rather
noisy role in the Big Circus which
is just getting under way
Now, as 1t starts the brightest fig
ure of them all is Colonel Tristan
Speaker, of Hubbard, Texas. He
may not be the hero at the finish,
but right now, on the strength of
his marvellous batting this sea son,
because he won the automobile as
the American leagues greatest
player and because he is the best
advertised member of the team
which Is favored to win the worlds
championship, he is certainly get
ting a major part of the publicity.
Speaker began his baseball ca
reer at Cleburne, Texas, some five
years ago. He looked good and
Boston grabbed him. Then he didn't
look so good-for h, was only a
raw countryman then, and a mere
kid at that, so he was sent back to
Little Rock, then in the Southern
league and put under the watchful
eye of Hon. Michael j Finn, man
ager of the Travellers and a dis
tinguished citizen of the City of
Roses.
Two Famous Travellers.
AS batter Speaker blossomed
right out. He felded a bit like a
war veteran with cork leg, but he
was everlastingly there with the
Old swat stick. And he led the
Southern league in batting.
When the season ended Mike
Finn was presented with a marvel
lous chance to shine, either as a
hero or a financier. 1t seems that
the Red Sox thought so little Of
Speaker that they forgot to exer-
else their option, or something to
that effect, and when they woke up
to themselves the time had passed.
Finn was no more legally bound to
deliver Speaker to the Sox than he
was to turn over the gate receipts
to them. But anyhow he did 1t.
If the Red Sox were even grateful
it hasn't been observed, even to
this day,
From the time of the reappear-
ance of Speaker in Boston to the
present day the husky young Texan
has made good

tie Rock team was Beals Becker.

Ex-Southern Leaguers Should
Star in Worlds Series Games

with the Giant team this year. He
is still a weak fielder and unfortu-

was a tremendous slugger and was

average
Yes, Clyde Ensle, Too.
Another former Southern Lacquer
in the would be worlds champion
ship class is Arthur Clyde Engle,
though few people know 1t. Some
ten years ago this man played with
the Nashville team, under the
watchfu eye and economic regime
of the then redoubtable Newt
Fisher.
Still another player Of the Boston
team who played in the Southern
league is Neal Ball. utility man
You all remember Ball Bill
Smith picked him up from the
Central league in 1907 and brought
him down for a trial He and Lou
Castro were the candidates for the
shortstop position. Lou was In sur
prisingly good shape that spring,
while Ball, who showed great prom
Use, couldn't get away from a sore
wing that bothered him from the
day practice started. SO Smith sold
Ball to Montgomery. He made good
there with an awful rush and was
sold that fall for corking good
price.
Let it not be forgotten also that
Steve Yerkes put in a year in the
South. He played with Chatta-
nooga and showed no particular
briliance.

 Breaks in the Panther Forest and Rockford levees in Arkansas and in the Salem levee below Lake Provi- oenve, La, will cause a slight fall in the Vicksburg district but for few days only The Mississippi river will continue to rise at Helena and a stage of between 54 and 55 feet is indicated lif no more levee breaks occur. but the situation is acute at Charlottesville, Mo, and between Garfield and I.uxora Ark No change Is indicated in the forecasts for places below Viclxsburg as the heavy rains of the last AS hours lprobably will counterbalance the ef- fleets of the crevasses above. The Red river below, Shreveport will rise and he flood stage of S6 feet is indicated at Alexandria. La. April 22. Rains will also increase the rise in the Atcha- falaya river and stages of 46.5 feet at Simmesport. and of 42 feet at Melville, La, are dicatedssby April 22" Stages Saturday were as follows: Evansville S9,s, Cairo 53.2, New Mad 1rid 43.

 schools the asyums. hospitals and orr phans' homes. We may characterize this as the age of brotherhood The de Yelopment in our states laws means fuller recognition of the rights of the ia- dividual. Woman suffrage Is much nearer at hand in Alabama than the eonserFa- lives dream. Scarcely a legislature con- venes without some new law designed to recognize the right of woman to live her life and to attain fuller development There remains but the capstone, which shall be the rrevocabe grant of suffrage to women upon the same terms as 1t is accorded to men
 The movement for woman suffrage is but a part of the great wave of democracy that Is sweeping over our land. It is but one manifestation of the new con- science: 1t is a part of the social progress that shows movements for the protection Of helpless children-for the amelioration of the condition of labor-for the restora- ton to the people of direct control of their government by the initiative. referendum and primary election.

 yicksburg, Miss, April 1S, 1912. President Taft. White House, Washing
 ton, D. c.
 Disastrous breaks occurred yesterday in the levee south of Arkansas City Ark, and also about II miles south ol Lake Providence La. These breaks will affect the greater portions of Desha and Chicot counties, Arkansas, East Carroll Madison. Tensas and Concordia parishes Louisiana. and also six other parishes in the Tensas basin levee district of Louis iana
 The population of this flooded district is considerably over l00.000 more than three-fourths of whom are negroes, who will be penniless and suffering within a short time unless relief is given. The white people will do everything in theii power, but owing to the stoppage oi trains and limited means with their heavy losses in live stock, grain and feed. they will be unable to give the necessary as- sistance.
 McClelIard Asks Aid
 President McClelland of the fifth Lou isiana levee district wired the Secretary of War this morning asking for inme- diate aid for 2o.Oen to 25,G9o people. I con- firm this telegram. although 1 think that this estimate is too small. Tn my iudg- ment there will be 3n.00o who must have food or shelter and who will suffer with in few days.

Just Government

'1n the American declaration of in dependence 1t Is solemnly asserted that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed 1n- deed this may be said to be the very cornerstone of our liberties. The chief item in the indictment against the British government was that taxes had been imposed without the consent of the coronists. The chief cause of the American revolution was the belief Of the colonists that taxation without rep resentation was unjust and incompat- ible with human liberty. Rather than submit to a government In which they had no voice our forefathers chose to lay down their lives and to sacrifice all .heir possessions.
 ''The people of Alabama are justly cele- brated for their devotion to the principles of American liberty. We would naturally expect to find the laws in this state giv- ing the fullest recognition to the essential American doctrines found in the declara- ton of independence. However, even on this day. the owners of nearly half of the property in Alabama are denied any voice in government II is said, in effect, that taxation without representation iS just, when the taxpayer is a woman Half of the citizens of Alabama are required to submit to laws in which they had no voice in making. Half of our citizens must obey criminal laws enacted by legs- lature not of their selection. All thls merely because they are female instead of male. So far as woman is concerned, the political faith of Alabama. as translated into law, is that government may be just without the consent of the governed. So that, as the declaration is interpreted by our lawmakers, political justice is merely a matter of sex.
