BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

Quite a little scramble is going on out
the Pacific Coast way for the services OF
Bobby Murphy. a product Of the Local
sandlots. Murphy had a great season
with the Oakland team, although he was
called home shortly before the playing
year was ended owing to the death OF
his mother.

tion from Oakland that Manager Walter
McCredie. of the Portland Club. is after

tian, OF the Oakland team, would not let
the fleet-footed outfIelder go to the
Oregan club, SO McCredie got busy with a
four-cornered deal which involved the two
Pacific League clubs and New Orleans
Of the Southern League and the Cleve-
land Maps.
The three teams are now Kidding for
the services of the local player, but
Manager McCredle is playing a hold-up
game. and just where Murphy will land

eonsiderd one OF the fastest moving
machines in minor league baseball.
McCredie made all kinds OF efforts to
get Murphy. but nothing resulted.
Mac" offered two recruits for Muir
ply. Christian was not SATISFIED with
the material offered. Then McCredie
happened to remember that Christian
was sweet on Bill Lindsay. and tnat
Lindsay. who had a poor year in the
Southern League, wanted to get back
in the Pacific Coast League.
Accordingly, using New Orleans as
a go-between. Mac will see the trade
of Lindsay for Murphy go through
and will then either send Buddy Ryan
who has not been getting along so
awfully well with Mac, or one Hf the
other gardeners to the Crescent city
for Murphy.
Now that McCredie has almost ac-
quired Murphy. another Oak whom he
would like to get is Gardner. 1t is
possible that Bobby Davis will go
for the first baseman.
To arouse among the student body

Already 10 students have purchased
athletic association tickets which admit
them to the meet and all the basketball

the frames so arranged that this may
be done with the least amount of
time and labor possible.
The front of the hotbed frame is
one foot above the level of the sur

This gives the sash a fall of one
foot in six.

Japanese Gardens.

To add variety to the attractions
of home grounds there is no more
potent factor than Japanese gardens,
but these must not be left open as
part of the general landscape. They
look we'll when confined to a house
court or patio, and II part OF the
greater garden should be set apart
by a wall, fence. hedge, or other di-
vision of a precise nature. They are
not expected to fill the same place as
other gardens in conception of the
whole, but should be made toy-like
or gardens in miniature, more or less
absurditles from our own point OF
view. Rocks, water and uneven sur
faces, II extent of area will permit
the latter, should be the leading feat
ures and considerations.

MAJOR HENRY.

Spoke through the limbs and in the

For one of those who eat in Arthul's

That is a portrait in silhouette of
Major Henry; for his life was rooted
in knighthood and truth; he was
stamped with the image of those
who "shot through the lists at Came
lot" By virtue of his grace and YER
satility and his manly beauty and
strength, his bearing of lineament
and form, from spur to plume he was
a superb type of the chivalrous gen
tleman. Like Lancelot he was the
flower of bravery, like Galahad his
honor knew no stain. His countc-
nance was an outdoor sign of an i'm
perial and generous spirit, of IA ma
ture that had not faint of littleness.
1t is fitting that he should sleep in
the shadow of the mountains whose
bigness and clcanness he typified.

SOME NEWSPAPER DoNT's.

DON'T take your paper home. 1t is
the most active and powerful factor
in building up your town, and to sup
port it would involve you in the work.
Don't pay for it if you take it.
Newspapers are run on wind, and the
editor wouldn't keep the money any
way. He'd most likely pay it on
bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to do
but listen and keep his temper sweet.
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the editors bus
mess TO espouse unpopular causes and
take your chestnuts out of the fire.
What hurst your business might also
hurt his-but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postoffice address. He
may lose track of you and you will
escape paying the last two or three
years of your subscription.

THE LIFE EXPRESS.

If an interesting journey
you should care sometime to take,
A journey that would be worth while
And one you'd care to make
Just board the rapid Life Express;
Get on at babyhood.
And travel over hill and dale.
And through Achievement wood.
The road through childhood swiftly
runs;
The station next is Youth;
Beyond that step is middle age.
Deep in the Vale of Truth;
Old Age is reached on schedule time,
II takes away ones breath
To speed so swiftly towards the end,
The terminus is Death.
The track grows rougner toward the
end;
IT'S then that you gaze back
And count the milestones gray that

The fast rccedin@ track.

No need for calling twice:

WORLDS BIBLE CONGRESS-

Significant among the great relig-
ious demonstrations that were held
IN connection with the Panama-Pa-
citic Exposition during the summer
Just passed was the Worlds Bible
Congress.
IL is said that the greatest rally of
the Congress tool; place in "the Court
of the Universe" the center of the
Exposition, ''and a fit place for ex-
alting the Bible as the center of hu-
man life and progress"
One very pleasing feature of the
Congress, especially from mission
airy and International point of view,
was the public ceremony of handling
over to the japanese Christians ant
their friends a copy of the Bible in
English, prepared by the American
Bible Society, to be presented to the
emperor of Japan on the occasion of
ms approaching coronation. IL is
stated that the Mikado has consented
to receive it. and it is understood that
the japanese Christians plan to pre-
sent their ruler with a copy of the
Bible printed in Jpanesc also at the
same time. The presence and scr
wees OF Billy Sunday, it is said, add
Gu much to the interest of the Con-
gress. Following the formal presen-
tatlon of bronze plncque by the
exposition authorities, DR.. Sunday is
SAID to have preached to fifteen to
twenty thousand people, mainiaining
the Truth and Power of tho Rihle

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Following is the Democratic plat
form adopted at lionaker by Snea-
torial convention, which nominated J.
w. Chapman, of this town for the

|. We do most heartily endorse the
able and efficient administration of
the affairs of the national government
under the leadership of that great
Statesman, Woodrow Vision.
=. We endorse the wise, patriotic
and efficient administration of the af-
fairs of this commonwealth under the
guidance and control of its able Gov
ernor, Ii. G. Stuart.
3. We advocate the enactment of
such laws by the next general assem-

carry into effect the will of the people
OF this commonwealth us expressed
IN September, 1914, on the question
OF prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of ardent spirits in this COM
monwealth.
a. We favor the building of good
roads for the commonwealth and such
legislation in reference thereto as will
enable the counties to spend money
raised by them by bond issue, through
their local authorities if they so desire.
.. We advocate such legislation as
will give the minority political party
IN this state representation on the
electoral boards and other boards of
this state as Judges and clerks of
election, such representatives to be
selected from a list of three names
furnished by the respective county
chairmen of such partv.
u. We advocate such legislation as

county taxes, as enacted by the last
general assembly and looking to the
reduction and equalization of the bur
dens of taxation of the people in every
respect possible.
Z. We endorse the public free school

useless changes of books in our public

GRATIFIED AT MIR. CHAPMAN'S
NOMINATION.

Editor the Cllnch Valley News:
l was indeed gratilied to learn of
the nomination of Mr.. J. w. Chap
man for the Senate by the Demo
Gratis of my home district. Being a
man of scholarly attainments and
possessing II practical knowledge of
the needs of the great district which
he aspires to represent, he will, if
elected, make an ideal representative
and one of which any district might
well be proud
While | would say nothing dispar-
aging of Mr.. Royal, the Republican
candidate, for he is Il very nice gen.
tleman, and Il man of integrity, none
can gainsay the fact that Mr. Chap
man would be able to accomplish
UNNECESSARILY more for the people of
that section than Mr.. Royal There
is no greater district i'm the entire
State, or one in which the possibili-
ties for the future are greater than in
the Third, and it behooves the citizens
thereof to see that real representa-
tive is sent to the next General AS
sembly. 1t is an undisputed fact
a minority member in any legislature
Is but mere figurehead, and the peo-
pie OF the counties of Buchanan, Dick
enson, Russell and Tazewell had as
we'll stick a toothpick into the turnip
and send it to Richmond and expect
results as to elect Mr.. Royal, or any
other Republican. The Third district
has certainly not been on the legisla-
tive map since the days of Alex st.
Clair, and it is high time that all
person, irrespective of party affilia-
tons, were alive to the fact that rep
resentative must be in accord with
the majority in the State legislature
to accomplish anything.
In the coming election the people
of that district will have rare OPP
portunity of electing one of the best
Drained, most practical men in the dis
trlct to represent them, and thew
should be chary of clinging to party
Names and bl;ndly voting for one who
will be political nonenity.
The prospect for the election of
Mr.. Chapman are unusually bright. so
let's go to work and roll up a ma
jority for him.
Respectfully,
w. +. BEVERLY.
