SOME GOOD Baseball

Last Thursday and Friday two OF
the best games OF the season were
played on The home grounds, be-
tween Canyon and Lubbock. The
first was the highest. resulting in a
score OF FIVE 10 four in favor Of Lub-
book. This game was iercely fought
all the way through. and was not
decided until the last half Of the
ninth inning when Lubbock broke
the tie with a run. The second game
was not so much in favor or the
home team. as they went down 70

Mr.. Banner, as most OF our readers
know. is Agricultural Demonstration

Pope is his able assistant and pub
liclty man for the same department
Mr. Banner expressed himself as
being highly pleased with the con
ditlons and general prospects in
this section. We says he finds a better
condition among the farmers in Lub-
book and vicinity az this time than
he has during the four years of his
work along this line.
Lubbock people have learned To
place great deal OF confidence in
the advice given out by MI. Banner.
MIR. Pope stated TO the Avalanche
man that they had 10 men in Lub-
book county. cooperating with them
10 where they had one four years
ago. which is evidence conclusive
that the people are becoming more
and more Interested in agriculture
and approve Of the most modern
farming methods. The agricultural
department Of the Santa Fe is doing
good work. and they realize that
their EFFORTS are being appreciated
by the farmers Of this secti,n.

WILSON AND CLARK.

q PEAlIER OF THE HOUSE CHAMP CLARK is a
~ candidate for the Democratic nomination for Pres
idont in 1916. His friends active in all parts Of
the United States. Democratic dissatisfaction with
the Wilson-Bryan administration is being crysalized
The fight within the party bids fair to be exceed
mgy bitter The Speaker never has forgotten or
forgiven tho humiliation he suffered at the hands Of Will
liam Jennings Bryan and other Wilson in the Bal
timorc convention The understanding is that he is
ready engage in fight TO finish although for the
time being, he is remaining silent and permitting his
friends TO do the anti-Wilson work.
President Wilson has big advantage Speaker
Clark or any other Democrat who may out
against him. That is that he controls the Democratic
national organization and the Federal patronage
Those two factors will weigh heavily in the Democratic
primaries and also in the State and national conven-
tions.
The President despite the Clark opposition, prob
ably will find it much easier to obtain denomination
than recollection. With respect to the former, he may
boss a majority OF the members of his party He
not however boss the great American electorate AS

After the Emden Was Beaten
CFrom tho New York SUM .

A full account of the sea fight be-
tween the Sydney and the Emden OFF
the CNcos Islands, which appears in
a letter written by one of the British
naval officers to his father. is notable
because it reveals a feeling free from
enmity between the victors and the
German survivors. II has been said
that the naval officers with the feet
at Kiel do not show the hatred for
the British that infames the German
newspapers in their comments on the
war and that is fostered among the
troops at the front. I'VE seemed to
agree" says the British naval officer
who describes the Cocos fight, that
il was our job to knock one another
out, but there was no malice i'm it,"
So Kiel anticipates the encounter
that Is expected some day in the
North Sea. There is something in
life ahoat, even i'm the shadow of
the guns, that makes men generous
enemies and lifts them above petty
meannesses.
At one time of the Cocos battle a
cloud of yellow smoke obscured the
Emden. ard the cry went up, "She's
gone" On the Sydney the order was
at once given. "All hands turn out
the lifehoats; there will be men in
the water" But when the cloud
blew away the guns of the Emden
were still flashing. AS she stranded

sessions
"The World" says:
"A day may come when the Re-
publican party will forget that its
great first President held no man
good enough to govern another man
without that other mans consent A
day may come when the Democratic
party will forget that Thomas JEFF
ferson included liberty among the
unalieuable rights of man. A day
may come when some new party will
sweep the country upon the legal
and moral right of the United States
10 govern the Filipinos as a plat
form. If that day comes the honor
cs-the country will have been lightly
held In the hearts of its defenders"
That paragraph may express the
vague philosophy of those who re-
grct that the original thirteen coll
onios ever expanded westward and
southward. but it clashes at every
step with the policy which has made
the United States the great power
which it is today. It's sentimental

outcry against the pernicous political persecution to
which Mr. Townsend has been subjected by President
Wilson, Atoney-General Gregory and Senator sauls-

President Wilson's summary removal of Mr.. Georg,
l.. Townsend from the post of United States Marshal
for this district is remarkable proceeding in view Of

sumed that he will rest quietly as the victim Of mis-
treatment
It is not surprising that Democratic leaders should
seek all the offices they get for the faithful,
but is astonishing that President Wilson should have
lent his approval to the scheme for the displacement
of Mr.. Townsend For. after all. the responsibility
rests with the President
The course of the President is certain to lead to
reprsals in the future. The Office IL is true, is not

freedom For the Commerce
of Neutral Nations
lFrom bid washington PosD.

There has arisen an issue that Is
worldwide and that must be settled
in accordance with the rule of right.
and not the rule of might
We refer TO the issue of the rights
of neutral nations in the time of war.
For the rights of such nations TO
transact business without submission
to the dictation of any belligerent or
belligerents as to what they shall or
shall not ship to other neutral ma
tiOns. or to other belligerent nations,
there should be an immediate align
ment of neutrals to produce an inter
national code that all nations shall
respect.
It is preposterous that the quar-
rels of two nations. or of eight ma
tions. should be permitted to interfere
with the freedom of the seas for the
commerce of nations that have no
part i'm their quarrels, no interest in
their strifes, no desire save to keep
in peaceful relations with one and
all of them.
