HoLLERED BEFORE BEING HURT.

Monday the four United States senators elect from Arizona and New Mexico appeared at the bar of the Senate and were sworn in, after which they drew lots to de- termine the length of their terms. Messrs. Henry F. Ashurst of Ari- zona and Thomas B. Catron of New Mexico drew the two long terms, expiring on March 4th, 1917; Hon. Mark Smith of Arizona, drew the term which expres March 4th, 1915; and Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico fell into the shortest term of all, which will end on the fourth of March next, giving him but eleven months of service. With the disposition thus made of the terms of the four senators there is demonstrated the hollowness of the cry made so long and loud that there was in hand an attempt to give the New Mexico senators two long terms and the two short term s to the Arizona senators. It is seer now that they are provided for by certain set rules of the Senate and that had the New Mexico sen ators preceded those from Arizona by month or more it would have been impossible to assign them to more than one of the long terms expiring in 1917. In fact had they reached Washington and been sworn in earlier than the Arizona senators they might have got the two short terms, for the Senate is divided into three classes equal in number, one of which goes out every two years. and under the rules one cannot be put into a long term when there is q vacancy in a short term class.

Falls Church and to construct the road
from Richmond to Washington via the
Little River turnpike to Alexandria,
thence TO Washington by the Highway
Bridge. The road will be about 21O
miles long and will cost 81 900 mile.
When the proposed road snail bave

An Englishman wrote tho lines
in the spring. a young mans fancy
lightly turns TO thoughts of love. :.
This sentiment may hold good in the
strike stricken empire. bul it is 9th
erwisc on this side Of The water.
Some few may allow their minds to
wander In he direction aforcmcn-
toned. bul with the first sign of
spring, the mind Of tihc average Am
erican. Young, middle-aged and old,
becomes saturated with baseball and
yields space for nauehl other than
The diamond and its heroes. Now,
YOU who love base ball prepare to
enjoy yourselves. You who can see
nothing in the game. please get out
Of the way.
Winter is Il hard season for the
writer of baseball news. 1t is hard
even to interest the most rabid fan
in diamond talk when the base paths
are buried under foot Of snow. The
effort 10 write news ut such Il time
results i'm great amount of unrelia-
BILE information concerning past sea
sons and L great amount OF unJuSti-
fed claims for the future. Real in
terest is aroused by the appearance
of the first box score in the daily pa
pers and the glowing accounts of the
newly discovered stars.
The first box score of interest in
this community shows the University
OF Virginia team in the role Of victor
over the Nationals. In his initial cf-
fort in the box RiXey seems 10 have
lost none of his cunning. for 10 hold
the Washington team TO three hits
in six innings is q performance wor-
thy OF note.
This is true, in spite OF the TACT
that the professionals had enjoyed
but one day Of practice in the open.
One would think after reading the
Washington papers. that no manager
ever had such likely looking lot OF
young players as has Griffith. The
experts have yet TO announce sin
gle recruit as Il possible failure. we
venture 10 say that not more than
five or six new men will be on the
pay roll when the first western trip
ends. IF Griffith can secure, out OF
this lot. one pitcher, infielder and
outfielder. he will have succeeded
wonderfully.
Have We an idea as to the pros
poets for the Washington team? or
course We have ideas. but dare not
make Il prophecy. We believe the
prospect for Il better ball club very
bright. We believe the prospect for
n better position at the end OF the
year very poor In the first case our
hopes arc based on youth and speed.
Four hopelessly slow men have been
replaced by 4 greater number OF
speedy youngsters. Th article of
ball put up by these young men may
be crude and ragged. but it will be
snappy. in marked contrast 10 the
exhibitions OF last summer. As 10
final position in the race, we can at
this distance sec ST. Louis only in
the rear of Washington.
