There Is considerable interest in the game of baseball that is to be played on Stanton field this morning between teams representing the Stonington and Westerly High schools. It will be a regular league game. but the result in that respect is of no value, as the Stonington team has cinched the championship of the southern division of the Interscholastic league. But this game, if won by Stonington, will de eide the permanent ownership of the big silver trophy cup offered by the senior classes of both schools in 1913, to be competed for until won by the same team in two consecutive seasons.

"JIM" MANN AND Minor
ity Leader Jim" Mann favoEs Elihu
Root for the Republican nomination
for president. He said so t'other day
in speech before the Hamilton club.
Yes, it is the same Mr.. Root who pre-
sided at the last Republican conven-
ton in such impolite way as to offend
the sensibilities of a man named
Roosevelt; the same Mr.. Root who
bossed the writing of a proposed new
constitution for New York. The vot-
ers of that state liked the new con-
stitution so well that on last Tuesday
they defeated it by humpty hundreds
of thousands.
The Hon. Mr.. Mann could write a
fine help wanted ad for president
were the job to be filed through the
columns of the Trib. or the News.
Here are the qualifications a presi-
dent should have:
Under ordinary conditions any
man can fill the office of president
When the country is under normal
surroundings it does not take very
wise man to do what he is told by
some of his friends outside, but the
next president must be leader of
men and the leader of the nation-he
must not take his orders from the
kitchen cabinet"
Most of this sounds like an attempt
en- the congressman's part to justify
his support of Mr.. Taft three years
ago. The part after the dash looks
like subtle shot at T. R., whose
kitchen cabinet was famous. After

TOO HANDY WITH THEIR GUNS
i'm Los Angeles last week two
boys, aged II and 10 respectively
were martally wounded by one bullet
fired by a policeman who "shot in the
air" to brighten them. Though it ap'
pears that both lads have bad rec"
ords, there Is no evidence to show
that at the time the officers sought
to apprehend them they had been
guilty of any act for which they were
subject to arrest.
The practice of officers of the law
firing on suspects has grown so COM
mon that it presents public menace.
If there is a law which technically
justifies it-no law can make it NOR
ally right-then there is one law on
our statutes that is obnoxious and
should be repealed. If there is 40
law, then those officers who take life
in this manner are guilty of MAN.
slaughter and should be punished as
an example. Life is held too cheap
in this west Of ours. We are not dis
posed to make any more difficult the
already hard enough task the police
have in enforcing the law.
Still, it were better than thousand
guilty enes escape than that one in
nocent man be sacrificed. We hope
that the Los Angeles tragedy will re-
suit in widespread agitation which
win put summary stop to the reck-
less use of firearms by officers of the
law, thus partially atoning for the
needless slaughter of two youths. It
is q reprehensible practice; a horrible
practice. Weed it out!
