history as to numbers engaged. but
the salient fact remains that the city
founded by the Emperor Constantine
was captured by the Italians and
Greeks at that time.
The days following the Crusades had
been marked by changes indescribable
in brief description. The Mobamme-
dan element had become dominant.
Then in a political movement the Ital-
fans and Greeks assaulted the very

"A cynical friend told me the other
day that the secret Of success was to
get a name for incorruptibility and
then go ahead and corrupt It for much
gold. I'm sure there's weak spot In
this somewhere, but judging from q
good many. both of writers and poit

The oranges are picked at different
times, the occasion being Influenced by
the convenience Of the grower and the
condition Of the market. There would
be, therefore, more incentive to the
owner to erect permanent supports Of
this character among the orange trees
than in an apple orchard, for instance
where the entire crop is removed at
one operation. Then, too. the orange
trees are more Fragile than other
trees. and the grower must necessarily
exercise more care. The apparatus
consists of shaft with one end buried
In the ground near the tree trunk and
extending upright through the tree.

The Orchard Location.

The north side of hill is the best
location for an orchard. because
changes in temperature are not so
great as elsewhere. On south slopes
the buds start too early in the spring.
cold air descends in hollows and
closed valleys and is likely to kill the
young buds. An orchard near lake
or large pond is not likely to be in
jured by frosts, because the water
tends to make the temperatures more
even.

Mr.. Bryan's Rabbit Hunt.

Secretary Bryan will probably not suf-
fer more than slight embarrassment on
account Of having unwittingly violated
the law by going rabbit hunting in Vir-
ginia Christmas day. 1t is true that a
plea Of ignorance of the law will not
avail, as Mr.. Bryan, himself an attorney
in earlier days, well knows. And it is
further true that his failure to get a
rabbit. though fully attired and equipped
for slaughter. will not serve as a defense
The purpose of the expedition was to slay
the fleet rodent, and the law frowns upon
such an intent, regardless of results
What appears to make the case most seri-
GUS, from the game wardens viewpoint,
Is that Christmas day the ground was COW
cred with snow. Mr.. Bryan cannot deny
the snow. Nevertheless. it is a safe bet
that the Secretary Of State will not be
arraigned for trial in Fairfax county.
The law Is probably sufficiently vindicaIed
by the mere proclamation of this Innocent
and harmless violation by so exalted a
parsonage and so luckless a huntsman

The Base Ball Suit.

Tho great American national game
continues to be played In the courts
rather than chiefly on the diamond
field. There have been numerous iu-
dicial proceedings during recent years.
especially since the organization of a
league rivaling those organized under
the so-called national agreement, to
test the validity of contracts and op-
tions and reserve clauses and ten-day
clauses, and the public has grown some
what dissatisfied with the constant ap-
peal to the courts for decisions when
the chief function Of the game is to
amuse through the competitive endeav-
ors OF highly trained performers dur
ing the playing season.
Now comes the Federal League in a
suit to dissolve the alleged combination
Of leagues to which it has been denied
admission. on the ground that it vio-
lates tho antitrust statute and is "in

The KEYNOTE, and the Answer.

Now that Mr. Wilson has taken the
stump, there will be the liveliest bid
ding, so to say. for visits from him. If
he makes the Panama trip. his journey
across the continent on his way home
from San Francisco will be marked by
crowds gathered to see and hear him
wherever he can be fnducedsto stop.
Local democratic leaders will be In
charge, and the occasions will be worked
up for all they may be worth to the
party.
Interest will be very great. At In
Iianapolis Friday Mr.. Wilson showed
his quality. He claimed everything,
and claimed it confidently He had
made good, he thought. and the party
under his leadership had made new
record for faithfulness to promises and
,,te1lieence in redeeming promises.
In this key Mr.. Wilson will continue.
Wherever he speaks this year he will
repeat his mesa ee, with such varia-
tions from time to time as he thinks
deyelopments warrant He will keep
next year-which is big with Caesar
and with fate-steadily in mind. If he
lives he Is certain to be renominated,
and he wants to be reelected.
Will the republicans trail him. May
be not. It would hardly be dignif1ed.
and 1t might not be profitable. Some
thing should be conceded to the presi-
dency, and there would he a comnari-
son between the crowds. Naturally, Mr..
Wilson would ''hold over in that par
ticular any speaker the republicans
could offer Immediately on his heels.
But the republican reply, whenever,
wherever, and in whatever terms made.
must take into direct account Mr.. Will
sons statement of the case. 1t must
contain a close examination Of his as
sertions respecting the live character
of the democracy and the dead char
acter Of republicanism. In other words,
Mr.. Wilson's challenge must be ac-
cepted as issued. It will hold without
change. No democrat in repeating it
and all will repeat twill be able to
add anything of force to it.
Who will sound the republican key
note? Any one Of several men in the
Senate, and at least one in the House,
would do it admirably. Mr.. Root, Mr..
Lodge, Mr.. Borah, Mr.. Gallinger. or
Mr. Mann possesses knowledge of TIE
record, a grasp OF affairs. and a power
Of statement necessary to the task. All
five have had to do with the work
here, and two of them-Mr. Borah and

what Is generally known as "organ-
ICED base ball." 10 q trust, that players
must perform whore they are assigned
and nowhere else, that no city can have
major league club without acceptance
by the combination, that contracts are
invalid because Of their restriction OF
players from working where they
please, and-most remarkable Of pleas
that organized base BALI has been
trying to get Federal League players
who have been originally secured
through contract jumping to jump back
into the fold.
Base ball cannot be organized into a
trust. 1t is impossible to corral and
control allsof the playing talent in the
country. It Is unlimited. The sand lots
are turning out promising performers
by the hundreds each year and any
club has a chance to secure them.

in the alleged combination, are intense

club and the league and the combina
ton called the national commission.
L
contracts thus signed are valid. though
only for the year in which they oper-
ate, unless they carry option clauses
and the options are exercised.
The only ground upon which the op-
position to organized base ball can
gain substantial ground Of attack upon
the big leagues" is that of the re-
fusal to recognize players who Jump"
their contracts or who decline to sign
new ones at the close of the playing
season. But it can be shown by Or
ganized base ball conclusively that in
the nature of the sport 1t is necessary
to hold teams generally together in Or
der to compete in successive seasons
for the championship honors. And
only through continuous services of
groups of skilled players is success
achieved
1t must be believed that the courts
will rule upon this question, If it is
seriously pressed, broadly in the light
of the conditions and character of the
game, and especially in view Of the
circumstances in which the complain
ant corporation came into existence
and in which 1t has sought to main
tain itself. The ancient rule of equity
that petitioner must enter court with
clean hands applies with peculiar
force to this situation.
