EASS
Was Steel High Of Dayton
For Mt. Vernon
Locals Won By A Score Of
Al To 20

Mt. Vernon high school easily won
from Steele High Of Dayton in the
last basketball game of the season on
the Y. M. G. A. floor Friday evening.
The score was A to 20. The entire
second team was sent on the floor
during the last FIVE minutes of play
'and held the visitors even. II was a
good clean game in spite Of numerous
fouls. There was big crowd present
but not quite so large as attended the
Marietta game.
There seemed little to choose be-
tween the two teams before play
started. The visitors showed we'll in
practice. They were all rather short
and stocky and were outweighed a
trifie by the locals. In speed there
was little difference but Mt. Vernon's
pass work excelled. 1t was far better
than that of Steele.
Some Of the best passing and team
work of the season was shown by
the local team In spite of determined
efforts, the Dayton players were un-
able to break up the formations and
the ball was repeatedly taken the
length of the floor without being
touched by any Mt. Vernon players.
The second team, when they took the
floor, showed the same style of play
and used the pass almost as success
fully as the varsity.
Clayton was back for the first time
since his injury at Delaware. He
played dashing game at guard, a
new position for him, but was forced
to retire at the end of the first half on
account of the lame condition of his
ankle Yauger starred at the other
guard. Bronin was Steeles main
point getter. He Gagged three field
baskets and four fouls. Two of his
field baskets were thrown from diff
cult positions and were long shots.
The work of referee Brock was never
disputed. His judgment was excel
lent.

Queen Mary is an enthusiastic book
lover, and whenever she pays short
informal visits to London she usually
goes to a famous bookshop in the
West End, as nothing pleases her
better than to be able to look through
the new books at her leisure instead

A MESSAGE WORTHY OF
ATTENTION

Herbert Ouick's Message to the Wo
men of America" disposes in a few brie
paragraphs of all the jingo speeches anC
exposes the true inwardness OF the de
mand for intervention in Mexico. Say
Mr. Quick:
All l can say to the women of Am
erica is this: Your sons are in dam
ger! Your lovers are in peril!
There is a damnable conspiracy to
tear them from you and kill them,
or return them to you crippled, dis
eased in body, diseased in soul!
Owners of great newspapers are also
owners of great estates in Mexico,
which will be tripled in value the
Stars and Stripes wave over the land!
Senators stand up i'll the halls of
Congress and demand intervention
in Mexico because their own inter-
ests will be made more valuable.
They talk of honor but they think of
dollars.
That is all that need be said in answer
to the rawlings OF the Hearst papers anc
the John R. Mclean S, and the speeches
of Penrose, Fall and other congressional
betrayers of the interests of the people
they pretend to represent. Mr.. Quick ,:
as to the way to meet the agi'
tation for intervention applies with equa,
force to all jingo agitation.
Lay down the law that the women
of America are willing to "endure"
the disorder in Mexico, not for one
year, but forever, rather than send
single American boy in khaki to die
in Mexico.

Hold on there! Hold on! What's this!
The wool grower notruined? Wool prices
advancing? Demand eager2
Here is an organ of the wool trade with
this amazing story which we pass along
for standpatters to ponder.
Wool prices are advancing in all
markets at home and abroad, owing
to decreasing stocks and active de-
mand for all available lots. Domes-
tic woods are quiet, owing to a small
supply, but demand is eager and
available lots are quickly snapped up.
Secured woods are advancing. There
is feeling at Boston that London
has about touched the top, and the
more conservative members OF the
trade are beginning to hesitate. This
is especially noticeable in the west,
where contracting is still going on
at prices above last year quotations.
Yet wool is on the free list. twas put
there by the Democrats only little while
ago in the face of the most gloomy fore
bodings on the part of all the organs and
orators of standpatdom. Wool growing
was being murdered in cold blood. Ruin

follow fast upon the heels of this mon
strous assault on the honest American
farmer. Calamity Of the direst sort was

PRESIDENT ADMIRED FOR
ENEMIES HE IS MAKING
Public. !

The PUBIC.
President Wilson has endeared him
self to the democrats of the country-ot
whatever party afiiliation-in many ways
but in none more than by the enimies he
is making. That the Democratic party
embraces two distinct and antagonisttc
parts becomes every day more apparent
These antagonistic parts were held to-
gether while the party was out OF power
by the necessity of winning an election.
They have been held together thus tar
while in power by the desire for the OF
fees that are at the President disposal
But lust to the degree thatthe patronage
is given out does the rift between the
two wings of the party widen. 1t mat
tes not whether the avowed cause OF the
spirit be the repeal of the Panama tolls,
or some other measure, the split is bound
to come. The Bourbons will never con-
sent to serve under a real democrat long
ger than is necessary to secure the offices
at his disposal Nor is the fact that one
of the Bourbon leaders is afflicted with an
incurable crouch conducive to political
harmony.

because its abolition is favored by such
reactionaries as Senator Root and eX-
President Taft. Such a method of judg-
ing may only be resorted to when no
better means are at hand. In this case
there are better means. It is never right
to give special interests free use of yalu-
able property that belongs to all. That
is what the exemption would do. Every
time a ship, even though it sail under
the American flag, should pass through
the canal without payment of tolls, an in
Justice would be done to every American
citizen having no financial interest in
that ship. This being the caseit matters
not who may favor or who may oppose
exemption. 1t does not even matter If
treaties with foreign nations permit it.
The vital point is that, regardless of all
other considerations the proposition IS
in itself indetensible.-T Public.
