ENGINEERS LOSE
GAME TO TIMERS

Hopes of the Engineers of tieing
the Office force for first honors in
the Amseco race were bumped last
night by the pin artists of the Time
keepers outfit. The Engineers, who
have been sweeping everything before
them in the last weeks, fell in both
commissioning the first game by 741-
672 score and dropping the second by
a So pin margin.

CITY LEAGUE

Despite the IS pin handicap given
the Victor bowling outfit, the latter
failed to do better than one out Of
three on the City alleys last night.
Youngflesh and Miller fought it out
for honors, the former taking the high
score with POP, just two more naples
better than Miller's highest count and
nosed out the latter by total count
of 52S-527, for the high average.

WHEN FRIENDSHIP is
OVERDRAWN.

Contractors bonds in Louisville
are placed by law in the joint GUS
tody of the city comptroller and the
city treasurer, who are responsible
for their safekeeping and each of
whom is supposed to check the oper-
ations of the other. 1t is a system
designed to guard the city against
misappropriation, unless the joint
trustees become joint criminals as
well. And yet it has failed.
Samuel M. Wilhite, the comptrol-
ler, and City Treasurer Sea were
close friends. White was engaged
in speculation and had lost money.
He provided himself with funds by
taking the bonds of which he and
Sea were custodians and hypothe-
eating them for loans at banks. Just
how he managed to accomplish this
is explained by Sea.
"Mr. Wilhite," he saws, would
come over to my Office and, carrying
an envelope especially made for the
purpose, he would invite me to 60

DEATH

The death of Mr.. Justice Horace
Harmon Lurton, of the Supreme
Court, was not wholly unexpect-
ed, as he had been i'll for a num-
GER of months. 1t removes from
the Federal bench one of the
veterans in service, not on the
Supreme Court indeed, but in judi
ciaI place. So long ago as 1875 he
recame chancellor of the sixth divi-
sion of Tennessee, and he has been
on one bench or another ever since:
associate justice and then chief JUS
tice of the Tennessee supreme court,
circuit Judge of the United States
for the Sixth circuit, and finally, IN
1910, appointed by President Taft to
he Associate Judge of the Federal
supreme Court.
Judge Lurton's death removes one
more of that rapidly decreasing
group of public men who postponed
their college life in order to serve
in the civil war, He carried. rifle
three wears in the Confederate serv-
ice, and afterward took his academic
and law courses.
In the four and a half years Of his
service on the highess bench, Justice
Lurton has participated in the deci-
sion of a number of the most impor-
tant cases ever handed down from
that tribunal.

FRANCE AND THE FAIR.

France is going 70 be represented
officially at the Panama Pacific ex-
position. After much delay and some
opposition. provision has been made
for a government exhibit at a cost
of 100000 francs, or about S400,-
900.
Germany and Britain continue to
stand back, declining to participate
despite that many of their business
elements are protesting that it is
bad politics and worse business.
1t certainly is both. About the
only chance that one of the great
European countries gets to manifest
its appreciation for the food of
American tourist gold, is by the oc-
casional courtesy of. such a partici-
patton as this al San Francisco.
Suppose the American public
should be so far offended that it
would quit spending its money for
pleasure and travel in. say, Germany
and England; and suppose France
should be given the shares of those
two countries.
The result would be a huge boom
in France, and commercial depres'
sion of most serious sort in the boy.
cotted countries.
No European nation can afford
tkoughtlessly to snub the aspirations
of an American exposition, whether
the participation pays directly OIL
not. Nothing pays Europe quite SC
well as American trade, American
good will, American willingness tc
spend the money that nobody has ir
quite such volume as America.
The American people might vel
afford to be more self-respectine
about such matters than they are
Just contemplate the fact that the
looping off of American travellers
tips, alone, would fill the almshouse:
of the Continent in n single season!
They can't we'll afford to snub us, il
we will only make clear our dispo-
sition to defend our own interests.
France deserves especially we'll al
American hands because she has had
the sense and the manners to lead

THE MEXICAN "CRISIS."

1t is reasonably good guess that
the "crisis" in Mexico, which is due
when Villa and Carranza go to war
over the division of the spoils, will
never arrive. One of the chief re-
sources of cientifico enterprise has
been the effort to create dissension
between the military and civil lead
ers of the constitutionalist cause.
There have been almost daily reports,
for months past, of new troubles be-
tween Villa and Carranza; and just
about as regularly. there has been
substantial evidence that these re-
ports were greatly exaggerated. The
constitutionalist arms could not have
achieved the marvellous progress
that has been gained by them; con-
stitutionalist diplomacy could not
have handled its business with the
consummate skill it has displayed
if there had been serious and persist
ent. trouble between Villa and Car
rama.
Without doubt there has been diff
ference of opinion and policy on
many occasions, between elements
of the leadership. Without doubt,
too, the civil and military arms have
seen matters from different points
of view. That is always true. Wash
ington and the Continental Congress
were always mixing it; and tory en-
terprise framed up troubles for
Washington with just the same per-
tinacity that cientificos have been
organizing them for Villa. In the
civil war, both North and South.
politicians and soldiers were con-
stantly disagreeing about what to
do and to leave undone. That is in
evitable. Villa and Carranza have
had their troubles, as leadership in
any country, under such conditions,
is bound to have. troubles. But
there will be no breach that will
throw away the fruits of victory. Let
the enemies of Mexican freedom for
get their Vaccinations. They are
not destined to succeed.

THE AMERICAN SUITOR.

The rejected American suitor in
. he latest international matrimonial
angle has aroused a champion more
loughty than the maidens whose
,ympathetic notes strewed the wake

sentative from Ohio has espoused his
oause in bill designed to depress
the value of heiresses in the Euro
pean market.
The effectiveness of any courtship
Dill that leaves unrestricted the
maneuvers of fond papas and mamas

The old story, of course, of too

consequence not alone in the city's
loss, which bonding company per-
haps may make good, but in the
destruction of a friendship and the
downfall Of friend. Had Sea per-

"The man whose duty it is to

tions is far better friend when he

Ieglects it." says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, drawing the moral
of this Wilhite defalcation, and the
Courier-Journal is right. Confidence
and trust are necessary elements in
the transaction of modern business,
but they should not forbid the eNer-
else of ordinary prudence; even more
emphatically should they not excuse
the discharge Of official duty.

bands Of Europe. Few know that its
history dates back to 1873. when an act
was approved by President John Adams
for organizing a marine corps. In this
act provision was made for sixteen
drummers and sixteen fifers, and these
formed the nucleus of Marine Band
Later thirteen Italian musicians were
brought to this country and enlisted as
drummers and hfers, and then the Mar
Inc Band began to assume its present
functions as a military band.
Until 1854 the band performed routine
military duty, but in that year public
concerts were started. The band then
was under the leadership of Francis
Scala. In 1856. extra compensation was
voted to members of the band for these
open-air concerts. The concerts grew
In favor SO rapidly that Congress was
persuaded to rate the organization as
a military band and provided for a
principal musician and thirty members.
President Lincoln AFFIXED his signature
to the act which marked the recogni-
ton Of the first band In the United
States military service. Following the
retirement OF Francis Scala, Henry
