Capitol Grounds.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
It has been claimed the state of
Iowa is buying about seventy acres OF
ground in Des Moines to make park
for the state capitol building. This
las caused some opposition, and John
w. Rowley, Of Keosauqua tried to en-
join the state from carrying out the
purchase as ordered by the legisla-
tIire
The Des Mofnes newspapers have
been contending all the time that the
amount of property to be purchased
amounted to only 40.1 acres.
This statement by the Des Moines
newspapers aroused the ire of one of
the opposition newspapers, which ex-
claimed:
"Tn an article commenting on the
number of acres in the capitol
grounds, the Register and Leader
leaves out CT consideration in the
AREA Of the plat the streets and alleys.
| If it wants to tell the truth about this
matter why does 1t leave out the
streets and alleys which amount to be-
tween twenty-five and thirty acres
and which are not now owned by the
state
The Register and Leader takes
great pleasure in replying to this crit
icism by saving that while it is true
that about twenty-five acres of streets
a.a alleys are included in the district
20 lie added in the capitol grounds, il
is also true that the state Of Iowa
will not have to pay one cent for the
area. This twenty-five acres OIL
ground will be given to the state BY
the city of Des Moines.
i This explanation ,sht to put al
lend to the whole discussion. If Der
!, Moines can afford il give twenty-five
Iacres of the seventy acres needed fol
the enlarged capitol tloulds, tn.
igreat state Of Iowa surely can AFFORD
Ito buy the remainder OF the tract.

WHAT VOTES OF WOMEN CAN DC


Wyoming has had woman suffrage
longer than any other state. Men anu
women vote together there in the
making of laws. Has this condition
brought disaster? Is bad legislation
supplanting good legislation there?
We find an answer to these ques-
lions in the New York Evening Post,
which says the following laws have
been enacted largely through the in
fluencs of votes Of women in Wyom-
ing:
No boy under fourteen or female of
any age may be employed by any
coal, iron or other dangerous mine
except in Office work.
Eight-hour day in all mines.
Care and training of delinquent
children.
Juvenile delinquents kept separate
in jails when practicable and parents
visits permitted.
| Desertion Of children without pro-
vision for their support a felony.
Free high schools established.
Free klnderEartGnS eStanllSneu.
| Equal pay given for equal work in
public schools.
! Seats required in all places of wotk
Married woman's property act.
Age OF consent raised to eighteen
White slave law.
Keeping disord'erly house oil
knowingly leasing for that purpose
illegal.
/ Competent witness necessary fol
securing marriage license.
Practice of medicine regulated.
Pure food law.
Dueling and prize lighting made il
legal.
Extortion on small loans made ms
dem eanor.

The Cedar Falls Record thus tersely
states the capitol extension situation
and outlook:
The state OF Iowa Is purchasing
40.1 acres for the extension of the
capitol grounds. The city of Des
Moines is donating twenty-five acres
OF streets and alleys to the state.
Within ten years the land will be
worth double the money now paid
for it and the state will realize that
It was not such bad bargain as
some people think 1t is.

THOUGHT FOB THE DAY.

These are the things worth while;
The rainbow after the rain;
The peace that follows pain;
The developed garden rose;
The flower that by the wayside
grows
To claim an urchin's smile.
Tie little sacrifices made
BY patient mother-loye;
The touch of little children's hands:
And sweet affections subtle bands
The bright sunshine above;
The song the robin sings;
The chord Of music that awakes,
Yearning for nobler things.
These, and trusting woman's love
In life are most worth while.

ability as a baseball player was eX- traordinary and that it was impossi- ble for the Cincinnati club to replace him with another player equally as good The fact that Marsans had agreed not to play with any other team while under contract with Cincinnati was negative covenant" and the court stated it was a settled rule of law that an injunction may be issued to prevent an individual from violat- ing his negative covenant in order to induce him to perform his contract
 That he was not an exceptional ball player was the statement made in an affidavit by the Cuban left fielder. He stated that the Cincinnati club has been as successful since he left as while he was a member of the team.
 His Suspension Lifted.
 Marsans had been a member of the Cincinnati club three years the pres. ent making the fourth year His sal ary was $4,4OO annually. He objected tO the ten-day clause in his contract and gave ten days notice to the man. agement early in June, hoping, SO he claimed, that the ten-day clause would be taken out of his contract On that afternoon of the same day, Marsana was suspended without pay for alleged disloyalty to the team and for other reasons. During his suspension he opened negotiations with the St. Louis club of the Federal league His sus pension suddenly ended, but despite the fact that the Cuban jumped" tC the st.

ish his opponent by suddenly revert ing to the smashing yollcy which SO invariably wins.
 Get Position, Then "smash."
 The smash stroke is really essential to win. The game thus resolves itself into three parts. l. The endeavor on the part of the player to secure the more favorable position. 2. The iol- lowing up with the smash yolley. g.. The success of the smash stroke or a win by means of a well directed and iudlclously placed lob"
 A good player invariably stakes his chances overhead. Yet few indeed can hope to win without resorting at times to good overhead play The hurtling, clustering, masterful smash stroke is similarly played to the over head, with the exception, however, that the position from which it is played has no definitely fixed distance from the net It requires instinctiye judgement and absolute mathematical precision, and its play is always in di- rect relation to the side lines and less proportionately to the net The eye must never be removed from the ball otherwise the player loses that instan tanious perception of speed and the correlative quality of judgement so os sential for a return smash atgreatel pace which, with proper skill, places the ball outside the reach of his oppo nents racket
 My concluding advice is to aim al forcing your adversary to the back o the court. which can always be done by a few judiciously placed ball either near the side line or the service line, and then to kill his return witt l a smashing series of volleys from position comparatively near the net
 or as near the net as prudence die
 tates
 On the other hand, to meet and d' feat a stiff bout of golleying, resort (
 a high "lob." But unless this is skill
 fully and intelligently interpreted is usually ineffective. Neither stron l back play nor smashing tactics ear l however. be employed to the exclusio of others The ideal game Is a fusio p of the two.

Bisbee daily review., 1914-07-05

Welsh, and a fair chance to break even or Outpoint his adversary.
 This condition is due to the fact that Welsh, although fighting almost as speedily as ever, has not "kayo" punch. Ritchie has improved in his boxing since Welsh outpointed him about three years ago, in twenty rounds Welsh has gone back if any thing
 Thus the odds appear to give the American the shade. Against an old fox like Welsh it is probable that the bout will go the limit with a draw as the result
