The Logan ball combination jour-
neyed to Surrey last week end, en-
countered the local nine, scored we'll
merited decision decisively, and Incl
!dentally aroused the ire of several To-
cal fans. A versatile auctioneer,
whose portrait adorns the pages of the
most widely circulated sheet in the
county, was especially severe in con-
demning Logan's umpire and left the
impression that his knowledge of the
national game was as limited as his
Sense Of courtesy or fair play. The
boys did well, and Beebe was honest
in his decisions and we can congratu-
late Surrey on possessing true sports

 The City Beautiful club has started a war. on the mosquito, and has urged the city council to remedy conditions. The council can help, but the only way to fight the mosquito. the fly and filth is to educate the people and create sentiment against the foes of health and comfort. Mosquitoes breed in tubs, cans and other recept- acles in which water is left standing
 and the people themselves are the only ones to watch and prevent these hatcheries. The officers cannot find all these places. The officers need and are entitled to the aid of good citizens in enforcing the laws. Vio- lations should be reported, together with sufficient evidence to justify ar. rests. Many people report law vio
 lation, but decline to appear as wit nesses. An officer must not be blam. ed for not effecting an arrest under these circumstances, for the courts require evidence before convicting.

, SOBRlETY AND EFFICIENCY.

Some time ago the Pennsylvania railroad placed ban upon drinking. The road maintained it had no au- thority to dictte what any man should do or not do, but is did have the right to employ the men they wanted and to discharge those they did not want. The road also expressly stated that 1t would only employ men who did not drink, who did not visit saloons and who were industrious.
 Since the rule was enforced the re- suits have been watched with grow ing interest, says the Memphis Com lnercia1 Appeal. According to a re- port just published. more than 12o,- 900 observations were taken on g divisions of the road during a single month. and not single infraction of the rules was reported Consider ing that all drinking while on duty, the habitual use of intoxications and frequentiag places where liquor was sold are rigiGly enforced and viola tion carries with 1t dismissal, 1t may be easily seen why such clean bill of conduct is made possible. But there is further Illustration and decidedly more practical in the effeciency. of the men employed. In every one - nearly 12,OO0 tests of ef- ficiency service the result was to the credit of the system.
 This, is reasonable. . The man who drinks isAiever. satisfactory worker. He falls down just when the most lis expected of him. Physically and mentally he suffers With the loss of vitality comes a loss of efficiency. r all professions that of the rail- road man is one of the most respons-
 ible. The engineer in his cab holds
 hundreds of lives in his hands. Every department is important. With clear eyes and a clear head, there is but | little danger of mistakeing signals. This applies not only to railroad
 men, burt to men in all profession ant walks of life.
 l Whiskey and honest work do not gt
 together. A man may be temperate
 drinker and accomplish much, but h'
 Is far better off if he does not drinl
 at all.
 The example of the Pennsylvaai;
 Road is worthy of emulation in al
 lines of employment. especiall
 where the safeguarding of the public
 is affected. Il this respect it is al
 economic and not a moral question
 and employers may properly insis
 that their employees shall refrail
 from indulgences which would ten
 to endanger the lives of themselve
 or of others.

TOO MANY "ISTAS."
Beaumont Enterprise. }

The trouble with Mexico is that she has too many patriots who are trying to run the country their particular way. She has Zapatistas, Carrancis- tas, Zaragosistas, the Huertistas and perhaps dozen other kinds of "istas. . Every Mexican who sticks his head above the herd starts little propa- ganda of his own and for lack of a descriptive name that will mean any thing his followers are designated as "istas" with his name prefixed. Mexi- co is bedevilled by patriots who want to run things their own way, and she will never become a prosperous na- tion until the "ista" disturbers sub- side and let the country have peace and quiet long enough for the people to get a chance to work out their own salvation.
 Mexico is not the only country be- devilled by ''istas" We have '"istas'' who are keeping us in a turmoil con- stantly with their pet schemes to lift the human race out of the mire and bring the millennium on us in gal Top.
 The "istas" who are keeping up a constant agitation against the rall- roads are hindering the return of busi- ness activity. The "istas" who nagged away until they got the tariff on southern farm products reduced have put us in the hole. The "istas" who are always starting something against "big business are keeping capital i1 hiding. The "istas" who seem to think 1 that our welfare here and our saliva
 tion beyond the skies depends on wor rying us about prohibition are keeping us from attending to our own business and hindering our material progress
 The "ista" will have to be suppress
 ed in Mexico, but we cant suppress hin l here. This is the land of freedom
 where every sovereign has constitu tional guarantee that he may, If h. likes, worry himself and everybod. around him with somebody else's busl ness. We can only hope that some da, he will see the wisdom of not stlrrln up the pond all the time so we cal get a chance to fish.
