Fine Exhibition of the National

A LARGE CROWD WAS PRESENT
Albert Lea Twirler is a Whirlwint
Smith Did Good Work for
Webster City.

The Albert Lea-Webster City ball
contest at Riverside park Friday
afternoon was a very fine exhibition
of the great national sport until the
eighth inning, when the White Sox
let the bars down and the visitors
chalked up two counts. It was a
shutout for Webster City, the final
score being 4 to 0. The locals had
two or three good chances to even
the counts, having a base runner on
third and another on second at the
same time, with only one down, in
one particular instance. Pitcher
Gittins, the Albert Lea box artist, is
a decidedly tough proposition, the
home boys connecting with him for
only four hits. Gittins pitched for
Jewell in this city some time ago,
but did not show what he had in
him at that time. Smith pitched for
Webster City and did clever work.
Holding a bunch of sluggers like AL
bert Lea down to six hits is pitch
ing ball. A large crowd of fans
witnessed the game.

Obituary..

T. Ernest Knudson, youngest sou
of Ole G. and Bertha Knudson, was
born at New Sharon, Mahaska coun-
ty, Iowa, May 25, 1885, and died at
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, July 20,
1914, aged 20 years, 1 month, rs
days. At the age Of six he came
with his parents to Hamilton coun-
ty, locating on farm near Jewell,
where he lived until he grew to
manhood.
AS an infant he was baptized in
the Lutheran church and at the age
of fourteen was confirmed. In the
fall of 1902 he entered school at
Jewell College, finishing in the
spring of 1906. During the years
spent in college here he came into
closer relations with his God and
Savior and finally decided to enter
the work of the ministry. In the
fall of 1907 he enrolled in the Theo-
logical department at Red Wing
Seminary, graduating in the spring
of 1910. He was ordained as pastor
and called by the home mission
board of the Hauges synod to the
field at Edmonton.
In June, 1911, he was married to
Miss Mabel Hanson, of Jewell, to
which union one child was born, a
daughter now two years old. Beside
the wife and child, his death is
mourned by his mother, three sis
ters, and three brothers, beside 9TH
err relatives and a host of friends,
both in this vicinity and in his pas
torate at Edmonton.
For about year his health had
been failing, but he would not give
up his Ministerial work until March
18th when he was unable to finish
the delivery of his sermon because
of physical weakness, and after that
time he never recovered sufficiently

THE PIE COUNTER.

Lincoln Journal: One cause for
the general Generalization of the
democratic party in New York is ad-
mitted to be the unrest over the
postmasterships. One prime cause
for the boiling anger of Nebraska
democrats toward each other at this
time is the federal appointments
and the state Offices. The republic
cans, on the other hand, having no
federal offices to quarrel over, are
showing signs of unexpected unity.

nothing disintegrates their forces

The report of the Senate committee
was to the effect that Reed Smoot
was not entitled to the seat from
Utah. Here are the words: cit fol-
lows, as a necessary conclusion from
these facts, that Mr.. Smoot is not
entitled to a seat in the Senate as a
Senator from the State of Utah, and
your committee report the following
resolution:
Resolved, That Reed Smoot is not
entitled to a seat as a Senator of
the United States from the State Of
Utah."
But Reed Smoot was seated over
the majority report of the commit
tee. Reed Smoot was so intimately
involved with the "Interests" and
the System" which in those days
were paramount in Congress with
none to say them nay, that enough
complaisant senators were whipped
into line to give him the much-cov-
eted seat. He has always shown his
gratitude by uniformly voting with
the Interests" Can it be possible
that the Eagles" interest in this
question lies in the fact that the
Mormon senator has always stood
pat with the reactionaries? We sin
cerely hope not.

THAT CANAL TITLE.

| THAT CANAL TITLE.
Col. Roosevelt once described the
whole Panama scandal in terse
sentence when he said that eve
needed Panama and 1 took it," Pres
ident Wilson holds that the honor
of the United States as nation can
not rest on such foundation. He
is convinced that to leave the
wrong go uncorrected would be to
invite and earn, in perpetuity, the
distrust and hostility of all our
southern neighbors. And so he pro-
poses a just settlement, on terms
satisfactory to Colombia, from
which part of her territory was
thus ruthlessly stolen. In conse-
luence, the colonel RACES. 1t is his
nature to. Let him take who has
the power, and let him keep who
can, reasons of the colonel. We have
taken. We can keep. Why, then,
in the name Of heaven, pay and ex-
press regret for our action of inter-
national Observation-Disclosures
World-Herald.
This is a brief paragraph taken
from long article of the same
general nature that appeared in the
Omaha World-Herald of a few days
ago and which is being extensively
quoted by republican newspapers
that are willing to circulate the lie
and the insult to the republican par
ty in the hope of discrediting the re-
publican administration of President
Roosevelt. The Omaha papers ref
erence to President Wilson's desire
to donate s25,OOO,0O0 to Panama to
right a great wrong done by this
government is only punk and bonn
bast. To call the Wilson-Bryan
scheme, to loot the United States
treasury in the interest of Colombia
"a just proceeding" is an outrage of
the use of words. How did Columbia
get possession of that piece Of
ground now known as the canal
zone? Why, she stole it Of Panama,
and when President Roosevelt recog-
nized the just claim of Panama to
regain possession of her stolen prop
erty he performed an act of right
and justice and should receive the
thanks of Christian civilization. All
this gush and bombast of the demo-
cratic press about the fairness Of
Wilson and of Wilson's high mo-
tives, etc, will lose it's effectiveness
when the country more fully under
stands the situation and when the
country knows that Roosevelt over
hauled the buccaneers and land
looters who had stolen Pana-
mas property and forced them to
return it to the rightful owners.
Now Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson proposes to pay the Column
bian thieves for the loss of the prop
erty they stole. Here is what Ly-
man Abbott, the talented and abso-
lutely impartial editor of the Out
look, has to say upon this question:
"Mr. Willard H. Schoff, secretary
of the Commercial Museum of Phil
adelphia, in an excellently concise
letter to the New York Sun of re-
cent date, ventures to call to public
attention some of the facts of his
tory which Secretary Bryan has thus
far ignored. He reviews the story
of Panama from the revolt against
Spain until the founding of the pres
ent republic in 1908. He recounts
the process by which the republic

: of Panama, after its revolt with
Spain, Joined the republic of Column
bia, still reserving to itself its SOW
ereign rights, among which was
: specifically mentioned the right Of
secession. He recalls the fact that
in 1880 Panama warned the Colon
bian government that the legal as
sumption of autocratic power by
Bolivar would force it to resume it's
separate existence, and that this
threat was modified only by the res
ignation of Bolivar from the presi-
dency of Colombia. He points out
that in 1S41 Panama did so with
draw from New Granada Gas the
present Colombia was then called)
and remained Independent for about
a year, and that it rejoined the re-
public only on the promise of the
PRONUNCIATION of new constitution
that should fully recognize it's
rights, among which was still num-
bered the right of secession. In 1850
the president of the Grenadine con-
federation recognized in an official
communication the right of the state
of Panama to secede. In 1861 still
another agreement of federation be-
tween Panama and new United
States of Colombia expressly stipu-
lated that Panama should enjoy the
right of secession. The constitution
of the present Colombia by which
Panama was reduced to a province,
promulgated SOLELY BY EXECU-|
TIVE DECREE in 1885, in violation
of the procedure of amendment de-
fined in previous constitutions, is !
the sole basis for the claim that
Panama has no right to her indie
pendence. This reduction of the
state of Panama to the statue of a |
colony without representation in the
national congress was maintained
solely by FORCE OF ARMS"
"The act of secession adopted by
the citizens of Panama in popular
assembly November 8, 1903," con-
cludes Mr.. Schoff, twas therefore
reassertion of legal rights maintain
ed since the independence of Pan
ANA was achieved by it's citizens.
These were legal rights, asserted on
numerous occasions by Panama, ac-
knowledged officially by the Colon
bian government, and never relin-
pushed by the citizens of the
Isthmus."
The Outlook is in hearty agree
ment with Mr.. Schoff when he says
that lit would appear that the rec
ognition of the republic of Panama
was an act for which the United
States should take credit to itself
in espousing the cause of an oppress-
ed people, and for which it owes the
government of Colombia no apology
or reparation."
In face of these facts what be-
comes of the rabid frothings of such
papers as the Omaha World-Herald,
which is evidently willing to ira
duce its own government and de-
nounce a just act in the hope of
crushing the power of Theodore
Roosevelt and exalting that of w. J.
Bryan and Woodrow Wilson.
