WHIPPING THEM INTO SHAPE

At the meeting Of the Commercial
Club last Thursday evening it was
voted that the Club should get back
OF the proposed ball club, and give it
moral and material support. Presi-
dent Lewis appointed a committee on
base ball composed of c. G. Hedger,
DR.. E. E. Elmer and Frank Bartell, jr
AT the organization of this committee
Mr.. Hedger was designated as club
manager; DR.. Elmer as the god who
presides over finances; and Mr. Bar
tell to have charge of the grounds.
Mr.. Hedger has entered upon the dis
charge of his duties with enthusiasm.

ers develop they will be given a
chance. He has issued notice that
there will be practice every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday afternoons,
and proposes to give more attention
to batting, a very vital feature that
has been neglected IN past seasons.
Players are expected to be out in
uniform at o'clock each afternoon of
practice, and buckle to it for two
hours at least 1t is the only system
that will keep a team in shape where
games are played only once week.
The players should cooperate cheer

n some respects the American De

In some respects the American peo-
pie are more sane than they were a
dozen years ago. The government has
more justification to declare war
against Germany than it had to de-
clare war against Spain. Like Presi-
dent Wilson the lamented Mckinley
was adverse to war. Having partici-
pated actively in the civil war he knew
shrank from calling the young men of
the country to battle. But the lingo
press and loud mouthed politician set
up howl for war, even charging the
president with cowardice when he
hesitated to take the step. Against
his better judgment Mckinley was
forced into war that might have been
averted if cooler council had prevail
ed, and saved the country some very
embarrassing problems that have
grown out of that war. At that time
a prominent democratic politician OF
this state made the assertion in public
speech that the president had to be
taken by the seat of the trousers and
thrown into war. Republicans today
are more generous in their treatment
OF President Wilson, and stand ready
to support him in the trying hour of
grave responsibility. While there
exists just Indignation against a for
eign country all men, without regard
to party, recognize the delicate posi-
ton that the president is in, and he is
not being forced into action repugnant
to his feelings nor unduly influenced
by public clamor. The people and the
press are remarkably calm and con-
sentative under the circumstances,
and there seems no disposition to
make the situation any harder for the
president. 1t is the reign of reason
in counter distinction to the reign of
irratiOnalism few years ago.

The sinking of the Lusitania was one
Of the most horrible incidents in d
war in which horror has been piled
upon horror ever since the great Euro
pean contest began. A passenger ves-
sci, palantial in apr ointments, carry
ing hundreds of innocent non-combat-
ants, women and children, was sent to
the bottom by German submarine
without a moments warning. Men,
helpless babies and women were not
given ghost of a show for their lives
Almost within sight of their destina-
ton the engine of death and destruc-
ton was hurled against the hapless
vessel and 1900 souls sent to their
doom within almost the twinkling Of
an eye. The submarine gave no warn
ing, there was no opportunity to even
seek the precarious safety of open
boats, not hand was extended by the
attacking force to render succor. A
more cruel deed was never committed
in civilized or barbarous warfare
Many of those drowned were American
citizens, going to England on business,
going to see relatives, some on their
way to aid in the rescue work of the
Red Cross in striker Belgium. 1t is
true that warnings were issued against
trusting to this vessel before 1t sail
ed, yet it is doubtful if single in
dividual thus sacrificed believed for
moment that any civilized nation

If there ever was a man who is en-
titled to the sympathy of the whole
people of the United States it is Pres
iGent Wilson. He has a serious prob
lem to solve. He is man who will
not act hastily, and when he does act
he will act according to the dictates
of his conscience, and only as he
thinks will be for the best interests of
the country. President Wilson's pat
riotism can not be questioned, and in
his trying position he will consider
only the welfare of his country. 1t
is the duty of every 'itizen, no matter
what may be his private opinion, no
matter what may be his political tend
ancies, to abide by the decision the
president may reach, and unitedly up
hold him. This is no time to try and
make political capital out of tense
and threatening situation where the
honor of the country is at stake, nor
to in any way increase the difficulties
the president has TO face. The ultra
radical may demand war, the ultra
conservative may insist upon SUBMIT
ing to any indignity to escape war, but
whatever course the president in his
wisdom may decide to pursue that
course should guide the expressions
and attitude of the American people
in this grave crisis. Let us lay aside
prejudice, let natuIalized citizens re-
member they owe allegiance to one
country alone, and all stand together
for America; first, last and all the
time.

OF A Personal NATURE

Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Howe and infant
daughter, of Waterville, and Mrs. c.
~. Armstrong and Miss Joe Armstrong
CT Spokane, old and esteemed friends
of the writer and his family, motored
in from Waterville Friday last, and
spent the night. M. B. Howe is one of
the pioneer residents and merchants
OF Douglas county. He entered into
the mercantile business at Waterville
in partnership with A. l.. Rogers q
years ago, when Douglas county was
almost void of settlers and Waterville
just starting out to find place on the
map. By close application to bust
ness the firm of Rogers & Howe,
known throughout the length and
breadth of the county, flourished, ex-
banded and prospered, until both
members were able to retire from ac-
tive participancy in the business and
enjoy well earned competency.
Square, accommodating and honorabl,
In his business relations with his fell
lowmen Milt Howe won the respect
and esteem of all with whom he did
business or came in contact. Taking
the social side of his life and there
is not more amiable and genial
gentleman to be met with anywhere.
With a keen sense of humor, a
charming raconteur, possessing an in
eXhaustable fund of anecdote he is
one of the most interesting and enter
tanning companions one can meet AS
a citizen he is progressive and public
spirited, as a neighbor kindly, just
and generous, as friend true as steel
and model of constancy. We have
known Mr.. Howe for upward of 26
years, envied his versatile attainments.
admired his admirable and sterling
qualities and loved him for his sim
cere and constant loyalty to his
friends. The memory of the friend
ship that spans that quarter of a CEN
fury is like unto the prsmatic colors
of the rainbow, bright vivid and beau
tiful. The deuce of it is that that
good-fellowship has been about who'll
ly confined to memory for the past
number of years, as our meetings have
been few and far between, yet for all
that separation the fellowship so firm
lv cemented during the period that we
flOcked together has never wavered or
warped a particle.
