BASEBALL
Now Absorbing Topic on
All Sides with Colonies
Favorite.

Baseball from a local standpoint
received the biggest impetus :. in its
history when a record breaking
crowd attended the opening game
between Louisville and Kansas City
at Eclipse Park, only standing room
being left when Attorney Thomas
A. Barker escorted Mayor Head
across the diamond to pitch the first
ball. Interest in baseball here just
now is at fever heat, the fans one
and all being confident that Presi-
dent Wathen is endeavoring to give
the city a team which will be a con-
tender at all stages, and II is uni
versally belieevd that Manager Hay
den can come pretty near standing
pat on his present lineup, with
Hulswitt included for second base,
as many consider him the best all
around player in the association, be-
ing a 800 hitter and possessing base
ball generalship of a high caliber.
But with the adevnt Of Hulswitt IL
becomes a puzzle as to which fielder
critics who attend regularly state
they are unable to decide which 10
take out, Burch, Osborne or STAINS
bury, all going at a good clip. The
present season promises to be
banner one financially and from an
attendance standpoint, as the fans
are ready and anxious to assist the
in again putting Louis
Vile on the baseball map. Kansas
City closes its series today and Joe
cantillon's husky Millers come to-
for three games.

WILSON, PRESIDENT
TO DON WAR PAINT
Governor Serves Notice He Will
Wage Finish Fight on
Monopolists.
Won't Complain Even if His Yisase
Is MARRIED In Conflict.

President-elect Woodrow Wilson,
by birth a Virinian, but by adoption
a SON of NV Jersey, proclaimed the
hope that his administration might
mean the final obliteration OF every
thing that may have in the past di-
yided the north and the south
suggest an added significance
to the occasion" said Gov, Wilson,
in presenting the greetings of New
Jersey to Virginia, because 1t is a
son OF the south who brings the
greetings of the north. .
Standing on the porch of Mary
Baldwin seminary, in the chapel Of
which he was baptized, the president
elect spoke to great crowd gathered
from far and wide on the occasion
of his, return to his native town on
his 56th birthday anniversary.
But while Wilson spoke with feel
ing of his hopes for a spirit OF re-
union that would recognize Meth
er region, nor section, nor north nor
south, he talked significantly of his
future course in politics, with parti-
cular relation to the conduct of bust
ness and monopoly.

IGNORANCE EXPOSED.

William York, editor and publish
er of the Hayti, Mo-, Herald, strong
ly objects to the argument OF Solicl-
tor-General Bullitt in his brief in the
case OF the recently enacted newspa-
per law, that the second-class news
paper privilege Is a favor to, news
papers This is what he says on the
subject in recent issue:
The new law requiring newspa-
pers to file statements twice year
of their ownership, management,
editorship, circulation, bondholders,
mortgages, etc, and to label all paid
editorial matter advertisement, is
being made a test case in the federal
court at Washington, y. c., and of
all the silly, foolish idiotical and
downright nonsensical pleadings at
law we ever knew or heard about
was the brief in the case filed by So
ficitor-General Buiiitt, for the gov
eminent.
Verify, Bullitt must not have
enough sense to pound sand in a rat
hole with a scoop shovel, which Is
little more than some Of the lawma-
kers had who passed the bill, yet We
consider the law good one, and We
hope 1t will stand. We believe the
law is absolutely just, and that 1t
will elevate the newspapers of the
land to higher plane, and that 1t
will be the beginning OF the end
unprincipled andsAhired dispensers OF
pCblic opinion.
But where the learned solicitors
general exposes his ignorance and
does untold injury to legitimate
newspapers is when he referred to
the second-class privilege as a favor
to newspapers, and that on account
OF this privilege the newspapers OF
the land were obligated to the gov
eminent for a special privilege.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. ~.
There is not one iota of truth In
any such statement, and no man
competent to have anything to do
with this question would dare infer
any such thing.
THE second-cllass mail privilege
la not for the publisher, but for the
people. Newspapers are educational
and they are great advantage to
the public. They are the source. OF
information and of passing events to
the general public and aside from
this many people in the remote parts
OF the country would be deprived OF
enlightenment Z were 1t not for the
newspapers. ~. 5.
The second-class privilege was
made in the interest OF the public,
that the price of newspapers might
be made less and be within the reach
OF everyone-this Ia the whole story
Ito put the newspapers in the
reach and in the hands Of the gener1
al public. 1t was An act for the epeo-
pie, and the people receive the7bene-
fit in the price they pay TOT the
newspapers. Change the rate, and
the publisher will charge more and
the people will pay more. TINS fs
the truth in a nutshell
The newspapers Is the cheapest
thing on earth. There is absolutely
nothing worth as much that can be
bought for SO small price-and all
the people receive the benefit. Real
", 1t seems unreasonable that any
pretended to be intelligent man
could see the question In any other.

Month Pay Day.

MIR. J. Levine Working for Twice a
Month Pay Day.
Williamson, w Va, Dec. 30, 1912.
Thomas b. Garner. Progressive West
Virginian.
Dear Sir:-Tnere Is a strong de-
mand in this section Of the state for
a semi-monthly pay day system. The
laboring and business men alike are
practically unanimous in the opinion
that such system would be decid-
ly better for everybody concerned,
and would entail no especial hard
ships on tne employing companies
This system should apply partlcl-
latly to railroad and coal mining
companies and should embrace any
other public service, manufacturing,
Oil and gas producing corporations
that the legislature may see fit to
include.
AS a man Of influence in the poll
tical affairs of the state, you will
confer a great favor upon the intelli-
gent laboring and business men in
this coal field, as we'll as upon your
humble servant especially, by ans
wering this communication and CIV
ing us your private opinion OF this
proposition. Very respectfully,
}. LEVINE.
Mr.. Levine is interesting himself
for good cause for the benefit OF
all as well as greater activity for
bVeiness. We hope he will succeed
in% getting his proposition made a
law and that twice-a-month pay
day may be realized through his

to pay the usual minimum royalty,
only which is 500 tons per acre an
nually, this territory would produce
annually 2as,600,0o tons. This is
nearly four ines the present output
of the whole state of West Virginia,
and is abolt three times the present
output OF both West Virginia and
Kentucky
All of this coal, OF course, would
not be developed al once no. within
the next half century but 1t is all
lying here awaiting development and
would develop rapidly with slack
water navigation and the consequent
cheap transportation.
This would necessarily result in
cheaper fuel for not only thousands
OF people%but several millions of
them.
Another important phase OF this
subject that should not be overlook
ed is the inequalities OF freight
rates which would largely be cor
rected by water transportation. For
instance:
Freight on dry goods and shoes
from Cincinnati to Williamson is 81
cents per 100 lbs.
From Cincinnati to Kenova II
cents per 100 Tbs, distance of $50
miles.
From Kenova to Williamson 40
cents per 100 lbs; distance of 73
miles.
This inequality amounts to huge
sum when 1t is contemplated that
the city OF Williamson has popula-
ton of over 5000 and is doubling
itself every five or six years; that
Matewan has over 1000 and dozen
other towns and villages on this Fiv-
er have an average Of nearly 500
each and all growing rapidly in spite
OF those adverse conditions; that
there are about twenty coal mining
camps from Matewan west now be-
ing supplied by this high and uneven
freight rate; that there are>at least
ten more coal tipples noH under
construction and that the population
of this whole region is increasing at
rapid rate, notwithstanding the
unjust treatment by the railway mo-
ncpolies.
1t is not doubted by any-tntelli-
gent business man here that these
dozen towns and villages would de-
velop rapidly into manufacturing
csnters II we had water transporta-
ton or any other reasonable freight
rates. We have the fuel, both coal
and gas almost for the cost of pick
ing it up. We have the other raw
materials in abundance. The reas-
1ons always given for not locating
manufacturing plants In this region
now are your freight rates are pro-
hibitive. Wait until you get your
river locked and damned"
We sincerely hope something can
be done or said that will prevent the
abandonment of this scheme. There
Is no other section of the whole
country. whore the expenditure OF so
small sum of money by the govern
ment would make SO much deveop-
r1ent or benefit so many people. We
cannot 60 into details for want of
space. We can only make few
suggestions.
Hoping this misfortune will not
befall this region, we are

pointments made by the commission
remains the same, six Republicans
and four Democrats. One Of the
three new appointees is colored, fill
ing the vacancy left by the failure OF
Raymond Il. Smith, the first colored
appointee. TO pass the examination.

ell r. Reeder, 1924 Lombard street,

ing to the fact that three Of the
original appointees had failed in their

street. who was recommended by DR..
J. Harvey Spruance, John J. Haney
and Thomas NJ Monaghan. In His
application Mr. Tierney stated that he
had been born on August 49, 1913,
which would make him a little too
young for active duty as patrolman,
