JOHN WARD MAY
LEAD FEDERALS
Former Star Players Name is
Mentioned in Connection
With PreSidenCy-0ne of
Original Strikers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 20
John Montgomery Ward is the latest
man to be suggested as the possible
president of the Federal league.
The election of ]. "A. Gilmore of
Chicago to the presidency at the In
dianapolis meeting. Nov. /. was, it
now is understood but an expedient.
The magnates merely made Mr.. Gill
more president pro tempore in order
to avail themselves of time in which
thoroughly TO canvass the list of avail
able men to lead them through the
troubled waters upon which they have
embarked
From time to THE since that meet
ing intimations have gone out that
such a man has been found. 1t even
had been said by Federal league mag
mates that the very mention OF his
name would cause organized base
bali TO realize that a Daniel had
come to judgment. But, withal, they
have been extremely reluctant to d.
vulge his name.
There are logical reasons for pre-
Stunning that Mr.. Ward is the one who
has been decided upon. He was in
the latter part of the eighties one OF
the star infielders in the old National
league. His ability as a ball player
was recognized so clearly that he was
shOrtstop and captain of the ALL
American team which circled the
world in 1888, playing games with the
old Chicago White Sox in Australia.
Egypt. Italy, France and Great
Britain. In 1890 Mr.. Ward was one
of the players who revolted against
organized baseball and formed the
brotherhood. Associated with him as
one of the ringleaders among the
players in that movement was Ed
ward C'Ned') HanlOn. now associated
with Harry Goldman and other Balti-
more men who are interesting them
selves in establishing a Federal league
team in the Maryland metropolis.
Ward and HanlOn have been close
friends ever since each retired from
baseball.

WANTS DAMAGES FROM
THE GOVERNMENT
Memphis Man Takes Case, Resulting
From Overflow, to Supreme
Court

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Another
attempt of land holders along the
Mississippi river to hold the federal
government responsible for overfiows
resulting from the construction Of
levees along the river banks and to
stop the repairing of levees already
built. is TO be made in the supreme
court of the United States The fight
is being carried on by John f. Cub
bins of Memphis, Tenn, owner of a
tract Of land one mile above that city.
Last spring the court decided these
land owners could not hold the gov
eminent liable in damages for over
flows, but Cubbins seeks to distin-
guish his situation from those before
the court last spring in that his land
was not subject TO overflow before the
government built the levees.

Ter of the league, that Capt. Adrian

matter. In reply he said, Speaking

pension should be voted Capt. An
son. The captain is strong physically
and mentally and is appearing weekly
on the vaudeville stage. He is en-
tirely satisfied with the remuneration
he is receiving for his talent. In COM
mon with his many friends l deplore
the continued reference tc the Ma

pension for the captains support.
g Mr.. Arson is far from being an
object Of charity and would refuse any
pension that any league would vote
him. The National league is not I'M

If there should come a time when
Capt. Arson should need the organi-
zation's support it will quickly and
gladly come to his assistance.

GUSHING GIRL is OBNOXIOUS
Superlatlve Degree and the Loud

There are few things so fine as en-
thusiasm. and the world wants all It

healthy enthusiasm and that ELUSIVE
s~entimentality known by the uglier

when everything is adorable" and

1t is fine, in a way: we should be
careful how we check the e%xuberance

time caution must be exercised against
letting the habit be formed of flying
into a febrile ecstasy about every
small thing that comes our way and
making as much Of 1t as though II
were an affair of the largest conse-
quence.
1t takes experience to hold in check
the superlative degree and the loud
pedal for the proper time and the
deserving object.
But caution in the direction OF not
being too intense should not be with
held from the young. Adorable" Is
too strong an adjective to be indis-
criminately bestowed on poodles.

Love" is another strong word that

raptures to prove ones self well

to be too intense.

EDITORIALS
SCHOOL GARDENS

In thousands of cities and towns in
this month of May, the children are
digging, planting, raking, and weed,
ing like industrious little ants, in
school gardens. 1t is q winsome sight,
full of poetic promise for years of ser.
vice ahead.
But many of these school gardens
will not look so poetic about Aug. 10
In the majority of cases, there will be
no n to supervise this little agricul-
tural enterprise. The teachers will he
scattered to the four winds Of heaven.
The vagrant impulses of childhood will
reassert themselves in these boy and
girl minds.
Youth finds n dreamy pleasure in
drifting i~rresponsibly from one diver
sion to another through summer vaca-
ton. Doing garden work in the leisure
of July is much harder for the young
sters than in busy May and June, when
the school habits OF discipline hold
them down to regular tasks.
Which suggests that the school gar
den movement, which has become ma
tional in its scope, is useful principally
in so far as it teaches thoroughness.
American children are admitted the
world over to be clever. agile of mind.
and very apt. But they lack the golden
principle of thoroughness, of finishing
a job to the limit until it is done and
we'll done.
1t may we'll be questioned whether
the traininggiven by a school gardendur-
ing the spring months is of any value.
if the child gets the idea that the thing
can be left half done when school closes
and not completed. Unless some pro-
vision is made to have the garders
kept until vegetables and flowers ripen
and the product is harvested, the in
formation gained may not offset the
positive harm done. An unfinished
garden, suffered to run to weeds and to
miss its full fruition, is a bad precedent
of irregulaIity and deficiency to fix in
a child's mind.

Several prominent attorneys wera

atives and friends were there and the

as he started to question q witness.

Yes replied witness.
What kind of a contract was it?'
IAN oral one replied the witness
WI you please produce it?'
THE witness stood stalk still star
Ing at the attorney and then looked at
the Judge, inquiringly. There was n
ripple OF laughter throughout the
courtroom, but still the young attor.

toward the judge, remarked:

witness until two O'Clock to produce

THE LAWS DELAY

It's no new subject. in fact it was old
when Hamlet's soliloquy mentioned it
among the reasons for shuffling off this
mortal coil. SO men of all parties will
agree with ex-President Taft, when lie
told the Yale Law school that present
conditions are a national disgrace.
Without stopping to consider the
turnings and twistings of wealthy liti-
giants in the higher courts, are there
not many needless delays in the ordin-
airy u of legal work. Perhaps they
are due to the same causes hat make
it hard to get your house painted, or
your goods delivered on time.
Lawyers, like everyone else, are am
bilious to take every case they possibly
can. Few producers of any kind judge
Alright the time it takes to complete
work. The manufacturer estimates
production greater than his factory can
do. Contingencies come up that lie
cannot fofsee. Men are sick, raw ma
terial is delayed, and few orders are
hauled to the freight house on the day
promised.
1t may be similarly assumed in legal
work that the most successful attorneys
take no more cases than they can
properly handle. They fail to figure
on the ms and outs of investigation
that take time. They soon find that
they must ask the courts for postpone
ments.
Probably the courts are too liberal TO
these requests. An adjournment may
involve quite as much injustice as a
case that is imporiectly tried. Let the
more successful law firms take only
the amount of work they can do on
time, and give somo of the younger
fellows q chance to earn q dollar.
Delayed litigation in the higher courts
has been a national scandal, as Mr..
Taft suggests. The congestion in the
equity branch Of the United States
Supreme Court has been such, at least
within q year or two, that you couldn't
