Ma L4ot sTElN,s RESOLUTIONS.

W
The resolutions Of Speaker Holstein,
introduced in the house of representa-.
tives, which seeks to place the adjust.
ment of the rates to be paid by the
plantation mills to homesteaders in
the hands CT governmental authority,
is a unique proposition.
Lowing entirely aside the question
Of whether some of the plantations are
always disposed to deal fairly with
the homesteaders, the present system
is decidedly complicated, in that each
plantation has its own way OF figur,
ing and the conditions are SO numer-
Gus and complicated that the home
steader seldom knows at which end
of the horn he may come out
It might be well for the government
to take charge Of the whole matter,
and arrange schedule which must be
paid for cane in, every part of the
Territory. This schedule should be
based upon the current price of sug-
ar. OF course, everybody knows that
such "a schedule is now aimed at by
the mills, hut, as before stated. each
mill has its own system, and it would
take Philadelphia lawyer to figure
out which OF any two contracts offered
by mills is the better. s.
We had not thought, however, OF 1t
being a matter for Washington to
handle. The territorial government
should be able to deal with 1t, and,
perhaps, more satisfactory than the
national government, acting at long
range and having only partial inter-
est In 1t.
In so far as Kauai is concerned how
ever, we doubt that the necessity, or
even desirability, Of such an arrange
ment exists. We feel quite certain
that the homesteaders OF Waipouli
are perfectly satisfied with the con-
tracts that have been offered them by
the mills. They are intelligent men
over there, and they have figured
pretty close on the contracts offered;
and we have yet to hear Of a single
instance in which there has been
definite complaint. Identically the
same thing may be said of the Kala'
Ihe0 region. -
IL our information Is correct land
ii usually isl the homesteaders would
welcome any scheme to simplify any
one Of their problems; but on Kauai
they are now working In the most
friendly and satisfactory manner with
the sugar mills, and are likely to view
with disfaVor any move or plan which
might alter present relations in the
slightest Garden Island.

GOVERNOR FlhKHAM's PARDoNs.
There is probably no more difficult
task for an executive to face than that
of judging petitions for pardons The
impulse to grant them where anything
Ike b showing of reason can be made
must be very strong in the man Of
ordinary humane instincts. and the
duty sometimes to refuse must be cor
-fespondingly hard. Especially, We be-
lieve, Is this the case with Governor
Pinkham. We do not know that any
thing further, can be said In defense
Of the near-pardon Of q well educated
embezzler whose daily entertainments
extended over a period Of about six
years, during which he spent a large
part of the stolen money over bars. -

The Lafayette football team was in
Harrisburg yesterday en- route West.
With this team is Donald A. Mummert
of Harrisburg, a former Central high
star, who is pictured above. This boy
is making strong bid for a perma-
nent place on the varsity eleven.
Nummert, who is a junior, played
on the scrub team for two years and
has steadily improved in his game.
Coach Crowell has used him in both
or the opening contests at the guard
position, He is a short staiky boy
weighing 175 pounds with great
strength and unlimited tenacity.
The only thing it is said that has kept
him from a regular place on the team
heretofore has been his lack of the
knowledge of the game. He has over
come this obstacle TO a very great ex-
tent and will probably be played in
the Lafayette line for the most of the
season

PITCHERS WORK
IN FIRST BATTLE
Alexander Shows Best Control;
Grooves Balls When Neces-
sary; Shore Wild at Times

Philadelphia. Oct. .. - Although
Alexander was obliged to pitch a halt
inning longer than Shore, the Phille
star only pitched one more ball in the
opening game of the series.
The Nebraska plainsman sent the
ball up to the plate 11S times in the
nine innings, while Shore pitched 112
times in Sis innings. Alexis most ex-
ertion was in the first two innings,
when he threw fourteen and sixteen
times, respectively.
He pitched only FIVE balls in the
fifth inning. Shores biggest inning
was the eighth, when the Phillies won
the game. Then he delivered the ball
twenty-four times. His lowest in
ming was the first, with eight. The
summary follows:
Alexander Strikes, AZ; balls. 40;
hits, S; flies, 9; grounders, IL; fouls,
:: total, lis.
Shore - Strikes, sS; balls, as: hits,

FOOTBALL GAMES
ARE IMPORTANT
Results of Today's Scholastic
Gridiron Battles Awaited
With Much Interest

The Worlds series game at Phila-
delphia to-day, was not the only i'm
portant sporting event. Football en-
thusiasts found local games Of unusual
interest and took in the gridiron bat
ties.
The game at Island Park between
Central High and Stevens Trade
school of Lancaster promised an in
teresting contest. On Academy field.
the season opened with a game be-
tween Harrisburg Academy and En-
haut High school. This game at
tracted much attention because of the
new material on the Academy team.
Steelton High went up against
Lebanon High at Steelton. This game
will be watched closely because of the
fact that Tech lost to Lebanon one
week ago, score 6 to 0. Steelton has
a strong team, mostly new material.
Tech went to Easton for a game
with the High school eleven of that
place. Easton is a stranger to the
local eleven and there are some
doubts as to victory for Tech.

STAMPS LACKING:
TICKETS UNSOLD
Stupidity in Office of Philadel-
phia Club Brings Disappoint-
ment to Many Fans
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Oct 8. - Some one
pulled the prize bone of all worlds
series ticket distributions. Business
Manager Shettsline is authority for the
facts.
Last Thursday notices were sent out
to all those who had been awarded
seats telling them of the fact, and in
closing a card which, delivered at
either the Phillies' offices or the ball
park, could be exchanged for the seats
allotted. Through some piece OF
stupidity. no stamps were put on the
envelopes.
Naturally, Uncle Sam resented this
little failure to comply with the postal
laws, and declined to deliver the let
ters. Yesterday morning they came
back to the Phillies' offices. How
many there were nobody knows. One
guess put the total as high as 500.
Fans for whom the cards were in
tended never knew that they had beer
awarded tickets, and the tickets wait.
ed uncalled for in the Phillies' offices
at a time when the whole city was
clamoring for them.
Later some one woke up and discov.
cred the fact. Then the box office was
opened and the tickets were put or
sale. There was no way to get word
to thousands all over town who would
have been only too glad to take ad-
vantage of the leftover pasteboards.
This is the reason why there were
gaps of vacant seats in the pavilion.
