object OF this company in connection
with the recent difficulties with the
Harbor is to disrupt the Harbor and to

the Harbor, contained in its letter Of

II want you to say for me that the
company left the Harbor no alterna-
tive said Mr.. Ashford this morning.
Furthermore, the dismissal of cap
tains Immediately after the letter
which the company caused to be print
ed in the Star-Bulletin yesterday aft
ernoon shows the insincerity, hypoc-
risy and untruthfulness of the COM
pany throughout this whole contro-
versy, and proves, to my way of think
ing, that the captains had ample justi
fication for their acts of self-protec-
ton. ask If the discharge of the
men affiliated with the Harbor was
not sufficient evidence that the COM
pany all along purposed to destroy the
beneficial influence of the Harbor?

fight between the monopoly, backed by
IT'S millions Of dollars. and men backed
by nothing save their own self-re-
spect."

county judges, but she aims to make
sure that the superintendents will not
be political nominees. The proposed
plan puts the selection Of the county
superintendent in the hands OF the
county board of education to the end
that this officer. like his city colleague.
may be chosen for educational fitness
rather than for political expediency
The whole idea Is to make the county
superintendent, as he Is in many states
and as he ought TO be wherever the of
flee exists, a professionally trained
school expert. The Texas ideal is of
a professional trained county superin-
tendent, free from political ties. Ed
ucators everywhere believe that ade-
quate supervision by expert county
superintendents is so essential in the
upbuiiding of the rural schools that
the office OF county superintendent
should be wholly professional and not
political.

change of service, fair trade, il was
of equality. But that was not what
the lady advertised for. She, like the

trouble with the low wages paid lady
workwomen of the state, is that many
OF them do not earn the small wage
they receive. This paper once employed
two girls as compositors. Because OF
home duties one Of them worked but
seven hours daily While the other
worked nine. while the ether worked
nine. They were paid by the number

always will exist a law for uniform

Again. there is little hope for better
morals under higher wage. In Iowa
immortality is fos,ercd by high wages
and prosperity. Ii is a known fact that
workmen drawing high wages. and who
spend each weeks earnings between
Saturday and Monday. are the immoral
element in every community. Instead OF
a lack of wage, it is an excess of wage !

DOES NOT ADVERTISE.
fTana Herald

About this time of year it was once
customary for the merchant to send
out a gang of painters to decorate the
landscape with appeals to travellers to
buy his goods. Every messy and lich-n
covered rock. charming in its sugges-
ton of wild life. was turned into a bill
board. and lovely old trees were made
into commercialized sign posts.
AS towns have. grown more citif1ed.
people love country life more, and
when they go walking or riding they
keenly resent the intrusions of BUSH
ness.
Their impulse on seeing an advertis-
ing sign in the woods. is TO tear it
down. Wherever the Law permits tha,.
and often where the law doesn't. a
host OF people make it their JOY and
pride to wreck advertising signs that
mar natural beauty.
So outdoor country advertising does
not advertise at all. il merely creates
resentment. Printers ink. on the con-
trary. pIeases and attracts. and il
forces itself or the attention only when
people are in a mood to consider It's
message.

THE COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

The United States bureau of educa-
ton asks the question: Should the
county superintendent Of schools be a
Judge, a sheriff, a political office hold
err or just an educator who knows
his business and gives his whole at
tention TO the schools and says he is
or has been all Of these in different
parts of the United States
In Texas it is the county judge who
serves in many of the counties as ex-
officio superintendent Of schools, and
in at least one state the sheriff used to
hold the office. But Texas expects
soon to have real county superintend-
ents in all the counties that are still
without them, according to information
received at the United States bureau of
education.
The new Texas plan is based on the
urgent neds Of the states rural
schools. Texas has three-quarters of
q million rural school children. Eff
cient county supervision is a prime
requisite for efficient rural schools,
and Texas proposes to maintain eff
Gent rural schools. She is endeavor
Ing to relieve her county judges, who
make no claim to expert knowledge of

historians that a similar game. town
ball, came down from the Greeks and
Romans. However this may be. the
OF cats. FOUNDERS and town ball were
PLAYED Interchangeable and indiscrim-
south and the settled parts of the west
up to the middle forties.
Then town ball began to branch out,
in the sense of departing from the
single base and single hit system.
There was a pitcher, a batter and
catcher, the other two or three partici-
pants did some desuItory outfield work
and took their turns at places in the
infield. Good pitching, batting. catch
ing and running were all developed in
town ball playing. or FOUNDERS, as the
case might be, and because numerous
games could be in progress In small
neighborhood at the same time, the
youths were given ample opportunity
for active work, and such variety of
assignments as served to make them
good all-round players. When. In 1S4o.
the three base system was introduced
and clubs began to form with nine
men on side-first nine and second
rine-there was plenty of excellent
material to draw upon, and the anna
teur game of baseball spread and grew
in popularity until practically every
hamlet village, town and city in the
nation had club that was ready to
offer and to receive challenges. Those
were days of tremendous local interest
and pride In baseball, because the
clubs then and for many years after
wards were composed OF residents OF
the communities whose colors they
wore. Those colors in many instances
have come down to these professional
days.
Some New Workers of prominence,
who are not content with the highly
specialized. professionalism and COM
mercialized baseball Of today. have or
ganized themselves into an OF cat.
FOUNDERS. or town ball club They are
not quite certain just what form the
new old game may eventually assume,
but they hope to get back as nearly
as possible to middle eighteenth cen
fury ball. For one thing, they are go
ing to use the vacant lot and some
thing like an indoor ball, SO that they
will not break windows. or be COM
PEELED to chase the ball into the streets.
At the beginning. according to re-
ports, their enthusiasm runs high. Per-
haps it will continue. But the condi-
tons generally are not what they were
back in the middle eighteenth century.
in the civil war times, or even In the
end of the century period Popular
taste runs strongly at present toward
the refinement Of skill in every line,
and 1t is doubtful if very small frac-
ton of the crowd that witnessed the
revived vacant lot OF cat-rounders-
town ball game of few days ago-or
the participants in it-could be held
together if there happened to be a
professional league game at one of the
big parks. The beginnings OF base
ball are interesting to hear and talk
and read about, and mention of then:
lures up the fondest memories; but
