A FIELD DAY ABOVE PAR.
Like Everything Undertaken by the
Citizens of Mineral Point.

Last October, for a starter, some of
our stirring young citizens experimental
with holding a field day on modest
scale. Although the weather was UNI
favorable it proved a success and every
body was satisfied.
This year the carry-over force de-
cided On holdidg another similar event
on June that was Tuesday of this
week 1t was ON somewhat larger
scale, more liberal purses by far than
offered at the field days in vogue in
these parts for some years. The
weather being favorable people nocked
to our city from every quarter, there
fore the attendance was large and in
terest in the various sports intense.
Hence. success was the only possible
result
The ball games were not only we'll
played but exceptionally close and ex-
citing The first game, that between
Dodgeville and Waldwick, stood 5 and
at the end of the nineth inning and re-
NAMED that way until the fourteenth,
when the Waldwick players awaited, as
the sayng is, and permitted the boys
from he county seat TO scamper over
the eoanting pan four times result
8 T. The second game, another real
tussle, was between Linden and Mineral
Point teams. When nine innings had
been played the score was tie, to 3,
but in the thirteenth inning Linden got
one over by a misplay Of their oppo-
nents and captured the coveted glory
by a score of TO 3,
These ball & mes proved well worth
the turning out and price Of admission,
say nothing of the various amusing and
exc, ting contests on the race cousre,
an account of which we cannot give in
detail and get the Tribune out on time.
Hope TO do that next week.
Look out far the next field day in
Point Better than ever, sure.

INDIFFERENT DEMOCRATS.

The Albany Herald of a recent
date says;
The Herald would not be candid
with its constituents if it did not
say it has been keenly disappointed
at the meager and dilatory respons-
es that have come to its repeated
appeals for contributions to the
democratic national campaign fund.
Today was designated by the nation
al committee for reporting all
contributions to date, but The Her
AIDS list will not be included in this
consolidation for the reason that
we were ashamed to forward the
small amount we have on hand
The News has had similar expe-
rience in its efforts to raise some
thing for the national campaign
fund. A number of citizens have ex-
pressed an intention of making con-
tributions. but so far they have neg
lected to do so.
The truth of the matter is that
nobody seems TO be much concerned
about national politics since the con-
test in the democratic party for the
presidential nomination. 1t was
much easier to secure the 'sinews OF
war" to carry on a factiOnal fight
among democrats than it is to raise
funds to combat the common enemy
and the conclusion is therefore nat
ural that the warning elements
among us are more interested in
swatting one another than they are
in the defeat of republicanism.
Democrats everywhere are uniting
in a loyal and enthusiastic support
of Wilson and Marshall, and we OF
Terrell county hould have a part in
the campaign and the victory which
now seems certain. In this cOnnec-
ton we quote and commend
to other democrats the following
from a gentleman in an adjoining
county who has just sent The News
contribution 10 LuS IuIu'
Enclosed herewith is $500 for
the national democratic campaign
fund. Believing that each stock
holder should contribute, according
to his ability, in any corporation or
society to which he belongs it gives
Ame pleasure, through you, to help
Alect the democratic nominees.
It is a duty and privilege to help
the party cause, so send a contri-
bution-large or small, just as you
feel inclined to give-to The News
and it will be forwarded to the prop
err party authorities and its receipt
acknowledged.

his honesty, integrity and ABILITY.
-Hawkinsville Dispatch.
Notwithstanding a few critics who
cannot forgive him for being elected
the first time, the quiet little man
goes along in his commonsense and
transformations way making one OF
the very best governors Georgia has
over had. Time has shown the WIS
dom of his every act, one OF the
most notable tributes to his ABILITY
to see the right and courage to 40
it being a vindication of his veto OF
the bill requiring that drummerS
mileage be pulled on trains, aDou'
which there was such a furOre from
hostile sources. Following the veto
of the measure the railroad commits
sion was appealed to in an effort u
have it pass an order requiring ina
mileage be accepted on trains, Du
on Tuesday of this week, before tina
body rendered a decision (Which, l
WAS predicted, would have been Il
line with the governors veto) MI
". N. Joyner, national chairman o
the railroad committee Of the Pre-
tective Travellers Association, wrot
letter to the commission withdraw
ing the question from further consit
Grafton, saying in part:
I'VE think it would be much bet
ter to let the mileage rest JUS
where it is, for I am sure GeOrgi
would be in the same fix as Sou
Carolina and the general travelin
men would rather let we'll enoug
alone, for I am sure we we cam
compel the roads TO sell int
ehangeable mileage unless tn
wish TO do So
mus Is another feather put in
governors cap by a matter that
attempt was made to use to his
credit and embarrassment.

that it is now close to the three hun

HARD TO OVERTAKE A LIE.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A weekly publication in New York,
known as Satire" edited by Walter
Pulitzer and publihsed by the Pu-
liter Publishing Company, is an al
legged humorous sheet duly illustrat-
ed. In its issue Of August 31st Il
prints the following very funny
libel upon Georgia:
eve forget for the moment
whether it was in Georgia, the 9TH
er day, where eighteen gentlemen,
sab, waylaid a white woman, stripp-
ed her naked in a wood, and whipp-
ed her almost to death in the pres
ence of several 'niggers,' the lash
ing being supervised by a gentle
man whose son had been infatuat-
ed with the woman. If it wasn't
in Georgia it was in some adjacent
state, where chivalry is no less ram
pant and attentive to the ladies.
But, at any rate, in the 'naUte'
of these polite attentions Georgia
is not one whit behind her sister
states, as witness the news item
which comes from the flourishing
cotton mill city Of Tallapoosa,
where a woman socialist speaker,
by order of the mayor, was drench-
ed with a fire hose manipulated by
the gallant fire laddies of that chiv-
alrous center of the cotton milling
industry.
"They are a religious, law-abd-
ing people down in Georgia, sab.
And if anyone dares to challenge
child labor in the mills they don't
give them the cup of cold wafer in
my name as recommended BY the
Gallileean agitatOr. They are more
liberal in tat respect and give good
measure, heaped and running over.
No Southern gentleman, sab, would
demean himself by Offering such a
miserable potion as a mere cup of
water They turn the hose on them
instead with true Southern hospi
tally, just as they keep the tots
awake in their mills by similar de-
LUCE when they show any signs of
sleepiness. If this be gentleman
hood then we prefer simple man
hood as more in keeping with the
first inhibitions of civilization
There is scarcely an atom of truth
in either story. we nave SeFeTdI
times denounced the false tales that
have gained circulation in regard to
the Dawson affair.
The story about the turning of the
hose on a female orator at Tallapoo-
sa has been vigorously denied by the
mayor of the town.
1t all again illustrates the old say
ing that the leaden heels of truth
cannot overtake a lie.

THE MANIA FOR SPEED.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Speed! 1t is quite natural to blame
the railroads for the accidents which
levy a toll of thousands of lives each
year, but the public must shoulder
a part of the responsibility. No mat
ter how efficient the management of
a road is, or how good its service
equipment, You cannot prevent the
speed-crazed public from playing the
fool" says DR.. John NJ. Hayes, a
surgeon of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and demanding fast trans
portation.'' If it be true, as esti-
mated, that ninety per cent of acct
dents are preventable there should
be more cooperation between the
public and the railroads to prevent
such alarming and needless waste of
life.

The Albany Herald's attention is
called to another statement, in this
issue of The News, concerning the
number of revenue licenses in Terrell
county, and also to the fact that it
is said that most of these licenses
are held by Albany and Americas
people, who supply much of the
whiskey that is sold here. Of course
our esteemed contemporary, which
always wants to do the fair and right
thing, will give this item the same
editorial prominence it DID the report
that $50 government licenses had
been issued for the sale of liquor in
Terrell county.

FOUAL SUFFRAGE.

In nassing on a large number OF
,ons+itr+ional amendments submit
ted to popular vote for reJectloh OF
ratification the people OF OHIO ac-
oor+od the initiative and referendum,
hut rejected equal suffrage. Ihat
meant defeat for woman Suffrage, OF
course which was one Of the chief
issues of the election. The women
of Ohio or some of them, made a
strenuous fight for this amendment,
and had sanguine hope of carryLg
if But are the suffragettes discnr-
aged and ready to abandon the tgnt
because of the defeat in Ohio? Not
at all.
"A woman's will dies hard
In the hall or on the sWafd.
And in Ohio the women proclaim
that their effort to secure the ballot
will 90 on. Indeed, in the adoption
of the initiative and referendum the
leaders of the equal suffrage move
ment discern their opportunity. II
will enable them to initiate a move
ment in the legislature looking to
another reference of the measure
Thoughtful observers OF current
events considered in connection with
the manifest trend of public sentl-
ment in this country can hardly
doubt the ultimate success OF the
equal suffrage movement The view
that suffrage will be granted to Wo-
mon is based on our conception OF
human nature, the proneness or the
American man to accord to the Amer
lean woman what she wants. Cues
ton the average man on the subject
and il will be found that he reasons
somewhat after this fashion:
don't see what the women want
with the ballot, but if they want It,,
whv it's all the same to me. IL
rests with the women themselves,
the good women of the land, when
they get suffrage. When they are
good and ready and tell the male
kind 1--WE want it, it will be theirs.
AT least that is our opinion, and 1t
is based more on what we know OF
men than what We know of the other
sex-for we doubt if any man, be
he ever so wise, comes to fully I'M
derstand and appreciate all the sub
tly delicate ways and traits of wo-
man. God bless her!
