a BALL PARK
FOR CAMDEN

According to rumors, said to be
well defined, some of Camden's
progressive citizens have taken
under consideration the organiza-
tion of stock company for the
promotion Of ia ball park near town.
It is argued that ground can be
leased for ten years or more, this
to be enclosed with spicket fence
and suitableseetss provided. This
could be done with small outlay
of capital, and it would require
very little time to carry it out
The promoters Of the scheme
have no further interest in the
matter other than providing suit
able'place for open air amusements
during the heated term and seeing
Camden keeping pace with other
progressive towns.
The spirit Of progressiveness is
abroad in Camden, and we trust
that something worth while may
be accomplished.

CUTS BOTH WAYS.

Timber and agricultural lands
! are two Of the States very import
and resources. These may suffer
from many causes, but certainly
the way in which much of the
agricultural land is titled at present
is most potent factor, and playing
a very strong part, not only in
creating waste land but also in
causing timber loss. If there were
an inexhaustible supply Of timber,
if there were an inexhaustible
emount Of land to clear, there
might be some excuse for this type
of waste. But vast amounts Of
timber throughout the State are
dependent upon the cultivated
land. How? In this wayi When
the titled land, especially on slopes
and hills, goes to waste more wood
lands are stripped off to fill lie
place, resulting in less and less
timber. This process of improper
ly handling agricultural land cuts
like two-edged sword. in. two
ways. 1t, causes timber loss and
waste lands.
The system that keeps the land
built up and reclaims the waste
places helps to maintain the wood
lands. Many acres now in timber
will and should logically be cleared
for farm use, but why hasten that
day BY wasting? Why not main
tain cleared land and letthe-clear-
ing of more land come about natnr-
ally throught.an increase in popu-
lation? 1t is q destructive method
constantly to rob the farm land.
As a natural result it goes to waste
and to gullies. This method nlakes
the woodlands pay the penalty by
cutting off the timber, and then
subject them to thesame wastefNl
treatment that the others under
went. This will never develop
these two resources Of the State.
Why not change aroundP Every
farmer is producer so long as he
maintains his soil for continuous
production. He is not producer
if he simply takes something from
his soil. Therefore let him reclaim
the waste areas, build up the land
for agriculture and prevent erosion.
Thus he maintains the farm lands
and prolongs the decreasing forest.

TRIBUNE OF
PEOPLE SLAIN

w. Carmack by Duncan B. and
Robin Cooper has the Capitol City
and the State been so stirred as by
the fatal shooting Of Harry Stokes
by Charles Trabue last Wednesday.
Points Of similarity between the
two tragedies may easily be found.
Carmack lost his life because Of
his fearless course as newspaper
editor in exposing public abuses
and seeking to remedy them.
Stokes, as attorney for the tax
payers of Nashville, assailed the
removal of it's oMceholders and
rende-ed a service Of priceless value
in the reform of the administration
of that city.
He was brilliant, courageous and
honest Although not quite 40
years Of age, he had risen to the
highest rank in his profession.
He was looked on in Nashville
as the tribune of the people. They
idolized him and have been plunged
into the deepest sorrow by his
death.
It is said that he had provided
in his will a fund for carrying on
the suits in the taxpayers interest,
showing that he feared he would
his life because of his fearless
course.
Trabae also was capable young
lawyer, and that he had many
friends was indicated by the num-
Der of his associates at the bar who
came to him at the gail Immediately
after his arrest and proffered their
services to defend him.
But this also is feature not nm
like the Cooper case. That trage-
dy divided Nashville socially, po-
liticaMy and in every. other way.
Those who had been personal
friends Of the assailants rallied to
them. So now they will do in
Trabue's case.
It is further indication of how
homicide is regarded with us. It
encourages men to commit snch
crimes, believing that they will
have the moral support Of their
friends.
Trabue represented the Office
holders in. the Nashville custer
cases. In tile court proceedings
there were many bitter set-tos be-
tween Stokes and himself. He re-
scented public statements which
Stokes medes According to his
story, ne went into Stokes Office
and demanded that he sign paper
apologizing for what he had said.
Stokes, be claims, attacked him
and he Killed him.
But Trabue went armed into the
Office Of man who was unarmed.
Shots were fred but a few seconds
after he entered the door. He
emerged coolly, announcing the
deed be had committed.
Trabue has been considered an
honest man, but the story he tells
will be accepted with incredulity|
by many who weigh ell the circum-
stances.
No other mcrtal eye saw that af-
fray. The lips that might speak
are now cold in death. Trabue
may escape punishment for this
awful deed. but one would q thou
sand times prefer to bein theshoes
ef the corpse stained with the blood
81 Harry Stokes than in those Of
his wanton slayer.
The wheels Of so-called justice
already seem to Be blocked and
Trabue already has been released
on bail. Why the tremendous
haste as to his preliminary trial?
why should bis unsupported state-

Urged to Flee Mexico.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 11.-- Officials of the Mormon church were greatly concerned today over the safe ty of from 425 to 800 Mormon colon ists at Mormon settlements near Casas Grandes, the supposed objective of Villas next attack.
 The first presidency of the church has sent a message to Bishop Philip H. Hurst of Ell Paso, asking him to make every effort to get the colonists out of Mexico as soon as possible.
 Before the Mexican revolutions were begun several years ago there were about five thousand Mormons in Mexico located at Colonia JuareZ, Co., lonia Dublan, Colonia Diaz and Pach- eco. Of these there are probably less than five hundred left in Mexico.

Raid on Ranch.

Douglas, Ariz., March 11--Further reports today of the raid last night on American ranches south of Os. born Junction, Ariz., stated that a command of Carranza soldiers woh had been drinking were encamped for the night near Osborn, while on the way from Naco, Sonora, to Agua Prieta, Sonora. They amused them selves by roping cattle and horses be- longing to the American ranches, whose property extended both sides of the international boundary.
 Several horses and cattle ranging in Arizona were roped and dragged across the border. Other livestock which was roped and which the sol diers were unable to get across the border was shot on Arizona soil. The MeNicans did not cross the line themselves.

French Statement.

Paris, March II. 2:30 D. m.-The text of the report on hostilities, given out by the French war office this af- ternoon, reads as follows:
 North of the river Aisne the enemy yesterday, after having bom- barded for several hours our posi- tiops between Thoyon and Berry -Au- BaS, moved out from Ville-Au-Bois and attacked the salient formed by our line at Bois Des Buttes.
 After a very spirited fight we drove the enemy from the northwest ern extremity as we'll as from the w estern section of the wood. This was territory the Germans had sue ceeded in occupying
 ITO the west of the river Mouse the Germans last night delivered a strong attack southeast of Bethin- court against our trenches along the highway from Bethincourt to Chat tancourt. An immediate counter at lack gave us full possession of the important communicating trench which the enemy had succeeded ir penetrating.
 ITO the east of the Mouse the enemy has redoubled his efforts be. tween the village of Vaux and tho Vaux forts. The bombardment cor- tinued all night long with great vio lence, and there were further infan try assaults against the village, ir ruins from shell fire. The German: took possession of some houses te the east of the church in the village of Vaux. We are still in possession of the western part of the village, ant the efforts of the enemy in this di @r rection all resulted in failure. %As a result of several attack! against the fort itself, the German!

FIELD OF AMERICAN
 COMMERCE IS GREAT
Foreign Countries Handicapped. By Enormous Expenses Of War
Especial to the Herald.

New York, March 11.-Recent in- ] activity on the stock exchange must ] be attributed almost entirely to the very disturbing mixture of foreign and domestic politics. It is a serious | misfortune that the presidential com- l paign should be on during war. but the latest disturbance over our rela- l tlcns with Germany seems to have been safely passed, and it is to be hoped will not be revived What will happen as a result of events ill Mexico cannot be estimated at this writing; but aside from that con- tingency the political atmosphere has been somewhat cleared; the lines or Eolitical clevage are known, and it has been proved that neither the country nor the administration wants war. It is perhaps too much to ex-
 pect entire freedom from such crisis
 in view of the titanic struggle in
 Europe and a heated presidential
 contest at home.
 Domestic Business Satisfactory
 Domestic business conditions are
 satisfactory. Our railroads are still
 oyertaXed with traffic, especially those
 centering at New York. Various
 modes of relief for congestion have
 been suggested, such as a diversion of
 traffic to other ports, a stronger en-
 largo on certain articles of traffic, in
 creased demurrage charges, higher
 lighterage rates, etc. But insufficient
 emphasis has been placed upon the
 fundamental fact that the roads are
 now showing the effects of over regulation and the consequent dis enlargement to enterprise and capital out of which alone the necessary fla Cilities for handling freight can be provided.
 The labor situation is less threat cning Differences in the soft coal trade have been satisfa ctorly ad- justed and there is reason to believe that trouble in the anthracite region will also be averted Labor con- dtions in the coal regions have

New York, March 11.-Manufac ctur- CTS of newspaper ink here have writ ten to the interstate commerce com mission at Washington suggesting that steps be taken to prevent serious shortage of printers ink, which may affect New York newspapers.

They ask that car bon black, the base of printers ink, be put in a class with perisha ble freight and allowed to come through DrOmntlN from West Virginia.
