A SknnkI

"Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." Juneau came over last Wednesday afternoon a thou sand strong to watch their ball team wax it to the Islanders, and the home folks turned out en masse just to take their medicine.
 Jack Johnson climbed up on the mound and began to heave them over slowly and with great deliberation, but somehow the Juneau boys could not get them just right. They hit safe at times, but when the bases get full John son would slip out of it by flaming a man or two. So it was Chat inning after inning passed into history and the score board opposite Juneau's name looked like this: "OOOO0OOOO."
 Meanwhile the Island boys began to find the invinoible Ford, and in the third inning Kalal, who runs bases like he was scared, crossed the home plate, and in the eighth Wood annexed one likewise.
 It was a great game and well worth watching. A specially good play was made by Dahl, who works out iu Che left field. He pulled one down out of the air and made a beautiful peg to the home plate, catching a ruuner by at least ten feet. But Jack Johnson sur. prised everybody and as long as the sun shines on Douglas Island his fame will never die.

THE FREEDOM OF TIE PRESS
AND UNLAWFUL MONOPOLY.

Prom the complaint Of the SUR PrsstaO and
Publishing Association TO the Attorney General
Our constitutional system is based
upon the freedom OF the press, and to
this end there should be given to the
great organs OF public opinion every
facility TO present all the news: and a
monopoly which seeks to shape and con-
troll the news into one standard form,
and that form determined by Its govern
ing body through its executive officers,
10 a peculiarly Objectionable monopoly.
Thus . considerable part Of tho news
paper press of tho country has been
compelled to print only such news as
the said Associated Press sees fit to
transmit TO its several members, and
II has been for many years n matter Of
complaint that by such control Of the
news partial. unfair and partisan
statements have been given to tho pub
lie At largo. Even II tho Associated
Press has not thus abused, AZ 20 many
citizens have believed and openly
charged, its dominating power over the
transmission Of intelligence. yet Il Is
prejudiclal to the public that It should
be totthin Ws pO,Der TO determine in
what form and to what extent the news
Of the world shall be given from day to
day to the average citizen.

Few persons are better qualified to
speak Of the horrors of war than Miss
EDITH DURHAM. who has seen war at
its worst In the Balkans. but does It not
seem singular that woman should
criicise the mission of the Red Cross
maintaining that humane as its work
in the field Is II would perhaps be
better II that work were not done
at all, because men who are quickly
healed OF their wounds go back to the
firing line and thus wars are prolonged?
Where does this reasoning lead but to
the conclusion that war would soon
cease II wounded combatants were al.

1t 10 true that the small calibre bullet
Of the high power rife seldom makes q

thousands Of men were disabled only
for few weeks and went back to the
airing line, but when the war ended
with the Peace Of Portsmouth both ma
tieas had had enough Of the horrors Of
the battlefield.
1t may be granted that armies can
now stay In the field longer because the
percentage Of severe wounds Is lower !;
but. on the other hand. the verdict Of
war by the greater force and fury Of
the struggle is likely to be decisive of
the issue involved. Moreover. the hor-
rors Of war have never in the past de-
tered nations from engaging in It; nor
will they be more disposed to go to war
or defend themselves because medical
science cures wounds easily and hui
nsue societies succor the wounded.
Finally, wars are now fought aud
ended In q few weeks or months. and
y great advantage will accrue to the
army that attacks fiercely and puts the

4 SUFFRAGE REFERENDUN,
do Majority Of the Women OF New York
state Want 10 Vote.

To THE Editor OF THE SuN-Sir: Mrs
Raymond Brown president of the New
YORK state Suffrage Association, made the
statement yesterday that the suffra gists
would consent to referendum on the
question of woman suffrage, submitted TO
IN" women themselves, provided the anti
surragsts would see that such action was
mad" legal! she then added that "unfor-
tunately, woman cannot legally decide for
herself whether she shall have the ballot"
The antl-suffragists are not suggesting
woman's referendum as a substitute for
the proposed woman suffrage amendment
10 the Constitution OF New York but
merely that the women OF this State shall
have an opportunity 10 say through a
referendum vote whether they wish the
responsibility OF suffrage. with all II en-
tails and Implies fastened upon them, II
a majority of the women I'm New York
state over FL years old should vote Eyes"
ON such proposition. then the anti-su!-
fragists, OF course, would withdraw their
opposition To the constitutional amend
ment. II on the contrary only a minor
lily OF those over IL expressed n desire 20

situation Is different, FOR II IL a unique
fact IN history that only In these OPEN
