Clarendon, Va, June Is 1914.
Sporting Editor The Herald: II you would only
publish this letter. you would not only correct 4
groSs injustice TO the Clarendon baseball club. but
you will confer . favor on the Athletic Association
generally. The game that appeared in your paper
this morning between the Dresdnoushts and Clar-
endon manipulated by the scorer for the Dread
poughts to make IL appear as If they THE Dread
noughtsl defeated the Clarendon Regulars; but as
. matter Of fact, It was the Reserves. While it is
true that q couple Of the regulars REINFORCED the
second team. and King and Clements pinch hit :"
Jet notwithstanding these facts feel sure that an
injustice has been done the regular team.
This GENTLEMAN who scored the game has Clements
at hrst and King at short. which he himself knows
Is ridiculous. neither one Of these players took
the field. but merely pinch-hit. Roupdtree played
half an inning on account Of batting for 4 reserve

the management Of the reserves arranged this game
and the Dresdnought management knew before the
game that II was the reserves they were to play.
As the regular c. A. A team VAS scheduled to

A QUESTION OF personal
LIBERTY.

Statewide prohibition is wrong for
the reason that it is an infringement
upon mans personal liberty. Ev-
cry man has right to take a drink
If he wants to. This is the way one
man states his view of the matter.
The right to take drink is not ques-
toned or made point of attack in
this campaign. 1t is the traffic, the
open saloon-business not men. In
the matter of personal liberty" the
fact is overlooked, that the fellow
on the outside has the right to claim
personal liberty" too. If citizen
or citizens don't want liquor sold in
their community or otherwise thrust
upon them, is it not an "infringe-
ment upon prsonal liberty" to do so +?
There seems to be very clearly two
sides to this personal liberty" ar
gument.

"Well," said the editor, can put
you to work, but Pm afraid can't

Make me an Offer" said the Pill

"All right, l can give you two meals
day at my house, you can sleep here
in the office on this lounge, and I'll
take care of your laundry. Then if
you need tobacco get it across the
street at the grocery. They run an
account with us. And up at the brew
cry you can get can of beer when
ever You like. Besides, I'll pay you
81 a week. Is that satisfactory
"Gosh," said the Pilgrim after re-
peating the offer to get it straight in
his mind, "if get all that what do l

Are Democrats Fools.

Republicans everywhere in Virgin
Ia are putting it about gleefully that
Irvine is beat" and "Irvine can't
win." Brought down to facts, figures
and reasons, their final basis is that
the Democrats of the Ninth district
are fools. The theory is that the dis
tribution of the federal Offices has
caused and will cause so much dis b.
satisfaction and resentment that the
Democrats will split and sulk and
either vote for the Republican nominee
for the congress or refuse to work
or vote striking at their own party
and presidentas an angry childsmash
es toy.
The Republican idea is that tho
sense and foresight are on their side.
Most of us remember that they never
did split in the Ninth until the last
election, Those who were disap-
pointed or disgruntled reasoned that

Shortly after the establishment of

ed signal pole on his mothers coal
shed. He would daily hoist flags of
his own in imitation of the ones of

persistently, that Mary, neighbours

their party would remain i'm power ;
that presently there would be more
favors to be granted and places to be
filled; that the hardest and most faith
full workers and those taking personal
defeat most gracefully would be fore
most in line. That is practical politi-
cal experience. They knew also that
while they always would have hope
and opportunity with republican
administration and representative in
the congress, they certainly would
have none if they helped, directly or
indirectly, to elect Democrats. There
fore they stood solidly.
In our belief Democrats have as
much sense as Republicans and as
much party loyalty. Therefore there
is no need to be disturbed or alarm
ed by the Republican predictions and
taunts, except SO far as to answer
them with swinging majority for the
Democratic nominee.
The way to do that is to 90 to
work now or, fyou have been at work
to keep at it. Fourteen working DAYS
remain between now and the closing
of the registration books May =. L,
should be point of pride and of duty
to have every possible Democratic
voter in the Ninth district fixed to
voc in November. That is the way to
convince the Republicans, already
laughing in their slcevs, at supposed
Democratic disaffection and folly that
they have hold of the wrong men and
are not confronted by fools.-Roa-

Misplaced Admiration

| used to think twas noble quite
To sing of "Home, Sweet Home"
In spite of palaces and pomps
Through which a man might "roam,'
But when I came to "roam" myself
'Mongst palaces immense,
That noble loyalty collapsed
To simple common sense.
For as sit and glance around
My cosy little fiat,
Otis furnished just to suit nv taste
And comfortable at thatD
, think of corridors so vast,
All lined with stiff red chairs;
| think of mammoth chandeliers;
And vases huge-in pairs.
| think of beds like Noah's ark,
And tables made of buhl,
Tall cabinets of ugly stuff
All ranged around my rule.
And oh, what credit is there then
In praising "Home, Sweet Homer"
When none with sense would choose
for keeps
Mid palaces to roam?

AT this writing it looks as though
the United States will be forced into
serious trouble with Mexico. Ger
talnly true it is that President Will
son has done all that seemed posi-
Bile to avoid it. 1t is safe to say that
while the entire country appreciates
the situation and will back up the
President and Congress in taking ag-
gressive steps, it is also true that war
with Mexico, or any other nation, will
be most bitterly depIored by all good
and wise men in the United States.
