The press of this country is imi-
tating the American newspaper. which
has so lied against public men, so
slandered them that few decent
minded men are willing to go into
public life in America If the pres
ent campaign of calumny continues
this course will end in civil neglect
and corruption. for it will repel from
public life, the sensitive, kindly and
respectable men who formerly served
their fellow citizens"

Standing of Teams.

As in forme: years, the boys of the
division did not measure up to
the standard OF the boys in other divi-
sions so far rs their ability to play
basket ball is concerned, 1t will not be
long, however. before the teams will be
fully the match of the others, If they
improve at the present rate. Lincoln
School entered the race this year. and.
due to the efforts largely Of the spirit
of the school and the coaching received
at the hands of the principals son, Al
phonso Stafford. and Neal of the high
schools, the team won the division cham
pionship. This is the first year that
these boys have played the game and
have done well. Birney School fell into
it's old habit of winning and landed the
lightweight honors. Giddings team was
well up with the leaders and showed
splendid form. Chairman Adams had a
hard time in interesting the teams early
enough to meet the requirements of the
series. but finally got most of the teams
in the division into the game.
