vlRellli Or TERED CHI
FOR LEAGUE BAL.
Judge Carey Receives Word from
Winnipeg That This City IS De-
sired in Proposed New Circuit.

The opportunity for league ball,
the hope Of Virginia fans for sew
eral seasons past, has been pre-
scented in concrete form in a COM
munication received by Judge Ca
rey, former manager Of the Vir-.
ginia team, from the secretary Of:
the Winnipeg Association on Mon
day, in which the information is
given that Virginia can get under
the canvas in new league to be
composed of Duluth, Superior,
Fargo, Grand Forks, Virginia and
Winnipeg. "
League baseball has been the
hope Of all true Virginia sports
for the past several seasons, and
while the local management of
the team are not in position to
make formal acceptance Of the Of
fer of franchise owing to the alb
sence from the city Of A. b.
Coates, the matter will be referred
to him by letter and it is more
than likely the hope Of all will
be realized by the proper signing
of agreements.
Virginia is known as good
town in every respect, and as base
ball and sport town has ever been
at the head Of range communities,
and league ball would put the city
in a class by itself in this section,
drawing heavily from other towns
in support. We trust no Glitch"
may come between the offer and
it's acceptance.

HONESTY IS IN DEMAND

There are some clerical posi-
lions that honest men can't hold.
An honest man can't be a gam
bler's confidential agent or the
private secretary of a corrupt
politician, for he will be required
in any one of these positions to
use his talent in furthering a dis
honest enterprise.
But, in the main, a discharged
employee of an ordinary mercan-
tile house turns up with. cock
and bull story about being dis
charged because he Was unwlll-
ing to do dishonest things, it's
wise thing to begin to look around
for the limburger. There's some
thing rotten elsewhere.
When a clerk is conspicuou.;ly
successful in his work; when ne
goes at it like the left halfback
making a tackle in an open field :;
when he comes into the office and
leaps to his desk like a Bengal
tiger; when his eyes sparkle and
his face lights up with joy at a
new piece of work, why, bless yru,
the most dishonest employe out
side of the penitentiary won't ;ire
him for being square. He Will
find some other employee to 10
the dirty work.
Any good business man knows
that the man who will steal for
him will steal from him; and even
dishonest men, who keep such
human otfal about, are mighty
careful to select men Of the other
sort of places Of high RESPONSE
bility in their employ.
A thief can sometimes get EN-
ployment from thief-but not in
any important capacity.
OF course there are exceptions,
but in the main, sterling honesty
does not cause men to lose their
POSITIONS Once show your en-
ployer that you are surprisingly
and remarkably successful in your
work, and a rival firm can't pry
you loose from your job with a
board unless you prefer to leave

FOUR of the solons of the new
state Of New Mexico have already
been arrested on bribery charges,
being accused Of accepting $500
each for their vote for United
States senator. They walked in
to the trap and were caught with
the money on them, and each has
tacitly admitted his guilt by ten
dering his resignation. At that
New Mexico probably has nothing
